My OWN personal contact picture/icon appears blank/white in Contacts/Mail!

My own personal contact picture/icon appears blank/white in Contacts/Mail!
This is very frustrating since I work very hard to keep up my contacts all up to date. Everyone seems to work fine, except for my own picture! Why???
I took various advice such as:
Try deleting the photo on each of your devices, once you are sure your photo is not attached to your card on any of your devices, re-add it on your Mac.
You might also check, if you have a user account on more than one Mac, that the picture used in system preferences >users & groups do not contradict each other.
Alas, nothing works. I chose my new picture in "System Preferences" but it appears blank in Contacts and in Mail. I kept my icon picture in my iPhone 4 clear and nothing yet has appeared their either.
I think that the most frustrating part about all of this is that the minute I try to Edit my own picture in Contacts, I add the same picture that in my System Preferences (Users & Groups) and as soon as I press "done", the picture dissapears and becomes blank/white again. To add insult to injury, if I go back to edit my picture in Contacts and choose "recent", there's a blank (white) icon that appears as the latest utilised picture. I'm not 100% sure what that white image is, but I'm sure it has to do with iCloud somehow.
Please help me, I would actually love to have an icon picture (Like all my other contacts!)

Upgraded iPhone to install iCloud, now icons are blank white boxes

I have been a MobileMe user for 4 years. Since Apple will no longer support MobileMe, I decided to join iCloud. I upgraded my Mac to Lion, no problem. But when I went to upgrade my phone's ios, a dozen of my app icons went blank white. The titles are still there; the apps appear to be working, but the screeen sure looks strange with all these white squares. How can I restore the icon pictorial?

Start with a simple Reset:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
A new sync with iTunes might also be a good idea.

Exporting slideshows results in file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

When I export slideshows the result is a file with only the first picture then a blank white screen with music. Apple bug or am I missing the obvious?

Usually when the phone shows just the white Apple logo, it indicates an issue with the system software that prevents the phone from finishing it's boot sequence. When this happens, you will need to restore the phone, which removes all data and replaces the system software with a fresh set.
Since the phone is not seen in iTunes when it's in this state, you will have to put it into DFU mode for iTunes to see it.
To put the phone in DFU mode:
- make sure the phone is connected to a computer with the current version of iTunes on it.
- hold the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously for 8 seconds.
- let go of the sleep/wake button and continue pressing the home button. The iTunes screen will show a short progress bar then show a dialog box stating that an iPod was detected that is in recovery mode.
-click OK
-click the Restore button in the middle of the iTunes page
After the restore the phone should be back up and running and you can sync your data back.

Audio Units appear blank (white)

Can anybody help me out with some Audio Unit problems. I have installed the vst to au converter and have the mda vst package of plugins. On my MacBook everything works okay. However, on my Intel MacPro (10.5.4 w/ GB '08 4.0.0) the plugins show up under effects and instruments, but are blank or white when I click the manual pencil tab. Sometimes I can change the settings b/c I can hear the changes, but cannot see the numbers or knobs. Another issue is that plugins like the C3 multiband, TAL-bassline, and UpStereo appear blank/white, but the presets work. I'm getting effects but can't manually change them. Sometimes a knob or meter might appear, but mostly just whiteness. Is this a cpu issue or what?
Appreciate the help...

Does the grid of characters look like this?
If not, then try switching your project settings from Mercury Playback OpenCL to Software Only.

.zip icon is blank white rather than the default Tiger .zip icon.

Recently I removed StuffIt from my Mac and now when I have a .zip file sitting on my desktop it has a generic white icon rather than the default .zip icon (which I seem to remember was white with a zip through the middle).
I was wondering if there is way of getting .zip files associated with that icon once more. I realise this is a pretty minor issue, but I'd like to be able to fix this.
After searching the discussion pages I came across this page - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=733697&#733697 and a user linked the poster to a page that had a terminal command to fix this issue - unfortunately the link is now dead.
Many thanks for any help you may have.

Saving Edited photos - Grey fractured picture icon

After completing an edit on Elements 6 , and save it to the Browser, a 'Grey Fractured picture' Icon appears in the browser. It is then not possible to recover this edit but I have to return to the original photo. It appears at random, and I have tried many edits with different formats and cannot work out what is causing this problem.
Any Ideas ???

IPod Adapter icon appears and nothing else happens HELP

i got this ipod and all of a sudden a picture (icon) appears on the screen its a picture of a ipod Usb port adapter and nothing else happens its stuck there if anyone knows what to do please help.
Thanx

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

My app icons are blank

My app icons appear as white boxes with the app names underneath it. What can I do to fix this?

Try a hard reset first. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, unsync and resync the apps from your iPod via iTunes.

"Blank" white pages in my iPhoto

I deleted some pictures in the "Pictures" tab in my Finder before I knew not to, and I understand that I can not get the pictures back. The pictures are in my iPhoto still, the icons still in tact but when I go to upload pictures onto a website the pictures are all blank white pages. I have tried deleting the pictures in hoping they will go away, but when I do the pictures get deleted but the plain white pictures are there.
How can I delete these?

Back up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iPhoto

Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

I recently upgraded to iOS 7.0. When I open Safari to a blank page, a small "Settings" icon appears against the white background. When I click on it, it opens a link to a web page that is not among my other bookmarks. How can I get rid of it?

I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
