Moving Mouse over White Display to restore Display after Sleep

Details
iMac 27" 3.2 GHz i3 (Model 11,3)
OS X 10.8.2
8 GB RAM
1 TB HD (70% capacity availabile)
All Apple Updates are current
ISSUE
Occasionally, when I wake my iMac from a sleep, the display is white with a visible black mouse cursor. When I move the mouse pointer around the display, it reveals the image behind the white screen one pixel at a time.
I've seen this on a MacBook Pro's running OS X 10.7.
Any assistance would be appreicated.

Norman,
Are you still having this problem? I seem to have solve my similar issue by resetting the screen background settings and desktops.
Before I started to see the "whitescreen" I'd copied over some default backgrounds from OSX 10.6.8 and set them as a desktop background. I'd had to individually set the same image to 3 desktops. I don't recall if I'd left any applications running when the MBP went to sleep and logged me out.
Assuming the "whitescreen" is some form of memory leak/corruption; I deleted the extra desktops and reset the background to a default OSX 10.8.2 solid color. Did a full power down of the machine and once restarted, let it go to sleep and log me out. Woke it up; no whitescreen: added a default Lion image, let it sleep. I repeated this process loading a copied 10.6.8 image; and then made three desktops, changed, added images to each desktop. So far, so good. Since I was "impatient", I'd cranked the sleep settings down to 1min so I don't know yet if there is a relationship between the whitescreen and sleep or log out delay time.
Hope this helps or is even relevant.

MBA not always recognizes external display after sleep

Hi,
I have a 2011 MBA and use it on a external display (Dell 2709w) with the lid open. The issue with this MBA is that after sleep it often (every second time I wake it up) doesn't show anything on my external monitor. In order that the external monitor works again I have to plug the DVI cord out and in or press recognize monitors under monitor settings.
I also did a PMC and SMC reset but both did not help.
I have also done a complete reinstall witch did not help as well.
I also did a test with a MBA from a friend (exact same model) and his always works with the external display after sleep while mine only works every second time.
Could this be a hardware defect? sound pretty strange to me, but who knows...

I have managed to make the Apple Hardware test by just pressing "D" while restarting. The test, however, did not find any error - but this does not surprise me as I think it only tests the ram.

Does Adobe Reader have the plug-in to display the word definition when moving mouse over the word?

Hi,
I would like to know if Adobe Reader has such plug-in that displays the word definition when the user moves the mouse over the word.
Basically I think it needs to
detect what word is presented under the cursor
look up the word in the dictionary or source file e.g.xml
pop up the definition of the word, which can be a translation or definition
It would be great if user can actually customize this dictionary file/source file.
Do you think there is such plug-in?
Many thanks for your help/advice here.
Cheers

Hi,
When I use Adobe Reader “look up” function, it takes me to dictionary.com. I am wondering if Adobe Reader allows me to customize this look up function, so I can use another website or my offline dictionary, instead of going to dictionary.com.
Many thanks for your help/advice.

No display after sleep with macmini using DVI - S-video/composite under XP

Hi guys, I have installed XP on my mini. I have CRT TV so I'm using
DVI -> S-video/composite to output to my TV.
The problem is after sleep - there is no display (it's woking only after reset).
I installed the latest drivers from the mac os 10.5 DVD & updated the graphics driver from Intel.
Please help

Unfortunately, no answer, as I'm having the similar problem with a Samsung SyncMaster 215tw and a G4 Mini. It works with the DVI-VGA adapter and the VGA cable into the montor's VGA port. However, connecting with the G$ Mini's DVI port with the monitor's DVI port using a DVI cable doesn't work. I cannot figure out why this doesn't work.
The DVI cable is good and the monitor's DVI port is good, as the connection does work using my friend's Intel Mini's DVI port connected to the monitor's DVI port using the DVI cable.
The monitor is new, too, and otherwise works fine with my other Macs connected with the VGA port. (I've not tried the additional ports as yet.)
Although the monitor is supposed to synchroize automatically, I also tried manually presetting the G4 Mini to different resolutions, but that didn't make any difference. The screen remains black when it should be showing the booting Apple icon.
Any idea what is going wrong here, please, as it sounds as if this same thing occurs with various monitors?

MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) doesn't wake the thunderbolt display after sleep

The other day I got the blue screen, the fan going on high, and then when I disconnect my thunderbolt connection from my macbook pro - i get a shutdown.

Wireless connection not restored immediately after sleep

Hi,
Since I have updated to Mavericks (OS X 10.9.1), my wireless connection doesn't restore automatically anymore after sleep.
This recently also started to happen when I boot my computer. I always have to click the wifi icon, select my network and then it still says "can't connect to network".
When I click the wifi icon and select my network a second time, it works.
I have tried setting the order of network services (WiFi first, then Bluetooth and finally Thunderbolt bridge), deleting my saved home network and adding it again, deleting all other saved wireless networks.
What can I do to fix this?
Thank you.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reset the System Management Controller.
9. Reset the PRAM.
10. Reinstall OS X.

Bridge resizes over multiple displays after "Group as stack" or "Batch rename"

Hi all,
pls - any idea how to force Bridge to stay displayed within one monitor after e.g. "Group as stack" or "Batch rename"? When I run these functions, Brigde spreads itself over both monitors, resizes all the thumbnails to the largest size a puts itself on top of all other applications. Very annoying. Any ideas how to make it stop doing this?
Thanks very much,
Tom

Blank display after sleep. Please help

My MBP wakes itself every day at 6:00. For the past few days, when I've gotten to it around 6:30, the display has just been...blank. The keyboard illuminates and my cursor shows up, but the login window is nowhere to be seen. I've waited for it, and end up having to hold down the power button and start her up again, something I was used to with windows. Is anybody else having this problem? It has also occured any time after it's slept for a while. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hello,
It seems that a lot of people are experiencing this problem, judging by how many boards there are for it...
I too am having the same problem. My MBP is a few weeks old, and I've only started noticing this problem in the last week or two. Sometimes my MBP wakes up fine, sometimes it takes it a few minutes, and sometimes I'm forced to restart it by holding down the power button. It seems to be worse when I've had my computer in sleep mode for long periods of time.
I don't use any external monitors, and I don't keep USB devices or anything else connected to the computer when I close it. It makes no difference whether it's charging or not. I have a few 3rd-party apps installed, but the problem started before I installed any. I've tried closing all programs before putting my computer to sleep. I've stopping letting it sleep overnight (and instead shut it down). Nothing helps.
The problem occurred for me again just now, which is what prompted me to check the support boards. When I open my MBP after it's been is sleep mode, it makes the little disk drive startup noise, but the display remains black. Sometimes when I open my MBP, the keyboard will light up (sometimes only for a second, and other times for longer). Just now, when I held down the escape key, it made that little "pinging" noise over and over again while I held it down (in the Sounds menu under System Preferences, they call it "Funk"). And what I thought was the most interesting was that when I pressed play on my Apple Remote it started playing the first song in my iTunes library. All the controls on the Apple Remote worked fine - I could play and pause the song, skip to a different song, adjust the volume, etc. Yet the screen remained black. Pushing keys and using the trackpad did nothing. I tried closing the computer again and this time the light remained on (instead of flashing like it does when it's in sleep mode). But when I opened it back up, the screen still stayed black. So obviously, the computer was running fine, it was simply a problem with the display.
Does the Apple Remote work for anyone else when they're experiencing this problem?
This problem is really starting to get on my nerves! Hopefully Apple will do something about it soon!

MacBook Pro won't detect Thunderbolt display after sleep

I've noticed a rather anoying bug with Mavericks (or at least this issue only started after upgrading to the latest Mavericks) When the MacBook goes to sleep and I wake it up again, it no longer recognises the Thunderbolt display and USB devices attached to it. The only way yo resolve the problem simply is to remove the thunderbolt cable and re-insert it.
Has anyone else come across this or have any views on how to resolve more permanetly.
Many thanks
Stuart.

I have the same problem and I find it very annoying. There are many threads on the Internet (such as https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5602696) but so far no solution. :-(

Odd Patterns in Display After Sleep

Recently, after either waking the iMac from sleep, or (tonight) after restarting it, bizarre but repeating patterns appear on the screen, the only remedy for which is to shut down the computer and restart. The patterns have typically been small grey dots, but tonight it was some strange geometric shape.
Is this one of the problems that is being fixed by the extended repair program? My iMac's serial number is within the range of those covered by the program.
I've tried a lot of other options (repairing permissions, deleting the PowerManagement.plist file, running OS Cocktail) but the problem keeps happening.

I would suggest that you have Apple look at it. Mine displayed a pixelated pattern when switching users and I had some bloated capacitors.

Caps lock on screen display after sleep or hibernation?

Hello, I just got a lenovo carbon x1 and when the computer comes out of hibernation or sleep a symbol that says the caps lock is off appears on the screen for a few seconds. How do I stop it from telling me the caps lock is off after waking it up from sleep or hibernation? thanks

for example, under the chipset section there is a driver for the intel manegement engine that says:10.0.38.1036
in my device manager it says intel management engine driver is: 10.0.30.1054
my thinkvantage doesnt list this chipset as something that needs to be updated. why is it not telling me there are newer drivers to install?

Using mouse overs with pop-ups

I'd like to create a pdf using mouse overs to display otherwise hidden text (in describing various portions of a photo in the doc). Can anyone lead me in the right direction as specific guidance in 'Help' has so far been limited?

You can use the "Tooltip" for an easy method. You can also use teh "On Focus" and "On Blur" action of a field to show or hide a hidden field by either the drop down actions or JavaScript.

How to change mouse-over label for a mx:CandleStickChart?

I have an <mx:CandleStickChart .../> graph and want to change the default
labels on the mouse-over window. For example by default, the mouse-over window displays:
line1: some label
line2: open: #1
line3: close: #2
line4: high: #3
line5: low: #4
I want to change the words "open", "close", "high", "low" to something else. I optionally want to not show the "close" line.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? If you do, please provide a short example.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Hi
First change the name from kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID to kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID
so "I" will indicate that your icon is inactive
Create another resource id like:
#define kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID 15
#define kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID 15
Define paths to the icons
resource PNGA(kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_I.png" // Inactive icon
resource PNGR(kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_A.png" // Active icon

Picture mouse over enlarge?

I am completely new to livecycle designer. However I have been scouring the internet for a method to insert a picture that when I hover my mouse over it displays an enlarged version of this picture.
It is for a feedback form. I know there are lots of places showing me how to do this in html and javascript but I have no idea how to do this in livecycle or how to incorporate the other codes of doing it into livecycle. Any help showing me how to do this from the basics would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot,
Dave

Lots of views but no replies? Can Livecycle even do this?
