I've had the problem a couple of times, don't know what causes it ! But if you long press silver button you will usually see it as an open app, and if you select it, it will 'come back' !
Bit of a pain and wish someone could offer a definative solution, been a while since it happened now, but when it does , it tends to do it a few times, then just goes away for a while !
Good Luck

  • Maverick and Adobe CC upgrade, now no main screen?

    I have updated my MAC to Maverick and Adobe CC and all was fine till the main screen disapeared but tool bar remains. I unistalled, re-installed...rebooted, and spent three hours on the phone with New Delhi trying to reset Java, permissions etc...still nothing. Does anyone have any idea here how to get the screen back?

    Did you change your monitor resolution or disconnect a second monitor?
    If so, your main window may be off your screen.
    Just trash your Photoshop preferences by holding down Command+Option+Shift on the Mac or Control+Alt+Shift on Windows as you launch Photoshop, then click on YES when asked if you want to delete or reset your preferences.

  • N97 White Screen .. Phone wont boot at all ... Stu...

    Hello all,
    So I have finally stumbled upon the White Screen of Death ... Really sad that it happened but I still have hope that it may work. THe phone does not boot up and its stuck on the Nokia logo
    [Long read]
    It happened one before a day and I managed to find a helpful topic
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&thread.id=141381
    It had everything regarding reset codes and whatnot, but the really helpful message was from grschinon .. ( he seems to know what hes doing ) .. for he shared an amazing technique of holding the green and red buttons while booting up the phone, and it worked !!
    But yesterday, it happened again  .. The screen wont light up and the keylock was stuck, so I just removed the battery ... I turned it on while assuming that the red/green button technique will work, but it didnt
    I tried it over and over again ( been trying for half a day actually ) .. but with no avail, it didnt work ..
    I tried connecting it through usb, with the wall charger, different combinations of buttons ... meh none worked 
    Its really annoying that half of my friends keep saying, THIS is why you get a blackberry .. and similar stuff .. My previous phones are all Nokia and this is just a huge dissapointment .. the N95 is 500000 times better than the N97 in stability and etc ... I was anxiously waiting for v2.0  ... now my n97 is dead 
     [/Long read]
    I understand that there is a solution that will FORMAT the whole phone, but I dont want that, there are lots of pictures on my internal memorycard (32gb one) and 30+ applications (if not more) .. I seriously dont want to lose all of those ..
    So do you know any other way that I can fix the problem ?? Is there a soft reset combination that i can use rather than the hard reset one??
    Please advise, your comments are really appreciated,
    Kind Regards,
    Z

    N97 White Screen .. Phone wont boot at all ... Stuck at Nokia logo
    They instructed me to turn on the phone pressing the green, red and camera button at the same time as I pressed the power button.
    It worked and the phone started.
    I didn't need to format my phone.
    Had the same problem with my White N97 (not that the colour probably makes a difference).
    Was using the Facebook App on the main screen as a widget, tried to start it up by touching it - it seemed to not start even after waiting or trying multiple times.
    So i thought to myself, "I'll just reboot my phone, that should fix it."
    BAD IDEA.
    Got stuck on the White Screen with the Blue "NOKIA" on it, so i thought...i'll wait and see what happens.
    Nothing...for hours.
    So i pulled the battery and put it back in again....powered on....same thing..."NOKIA"...and nothing else.
    Repeated this about....10 times, getting more and more nervous that i had turned my $950AU phone that i had boasted to my friends that is better than their iphones....into a useless brick.
    So, i turned to Google looking for answers...
    Someone said they left the battery out of the phone until it went flat and had some success.
    I found something about other users having a similar issue with other software  (Garmin GPS software), and also the "Mail for Exchange" application.
    They mentioned something about the only way to get it working again was to hard reset the phone to stop the apps from going online...
    I REALLY didnt want to do a hard reset, as i had a bunch of apps and data that i DID NOT want to lose or spend like 3-4hours re-installing.
    SO...I got thinking...how can i stop my apps from trying to go online without a hard reset.
    So this is what i tried - and it worked!
    1- Power off phone (if power button responds)
    2- Pull out battery.
    3- Remove memory card (if you have one)
    4- Remove SIM card.
    5- To make sure phone has no residule power hold down power button without any of the above inserted.
    6- Re-insert battery only (without SIM card or Memory Card)
    7- Cross your fingers and toes. (optional...but if it helps what the hell.)
    8- Power on phone.
    9- IF the phone prompts you to go online in any way Select NO. (or if it says do you want to activate Offline mode say YES)
    10- Press Options key when you get to the home screen and select "Content to offline mode"
    11-  Make sure "Offline" is displayed in top left corner near where the signal bar usually is. ( if it doesnt say "Offline" press the power button briefly, and select "Offline" (should be underneath the "Pager" profile)
    12- Once you have made sure your phone and applications are in offline mode - Power off phone using Power button.
    13- Remove battery
    14-  Again to make sure phone has no residule power hold down power button without any battery or cards inserted.
    15- Re-Insert SIM card, Memory card and Battery.
    16- Power on Phone.
    At this point the phone should start up as per normal, I knew it was working straight away for me because my SIM card prompted me for a pin number. (which happens normally for me when I turn on my phone)
    After the phone is ready, i just put my phone back into online mode by selecting my "general" profile, and put my content back online.
    Please note: This is what worked for me. Results and Mileage may vary.
    It seems the issue is that the phone startup is being held up or stopped due to Programs or Applications tring to go online.
    For me I suspect it could have been the Facebook App due to the problems i had before powering off my phone the first time.
    I am going to put my Content to offline mode if I need to reboot my phone again, at least until nokia pull up their socks and release a fix for this.
    Side note: my N97 is also running Version 11 Firmware. ( not that it may make a difference)
    Good luck to all with same problem, hope this works for you too.
    Had the same problem but I just removed the extra memorycard and formatted it on my computer before I put it back...
    after a few days trying without micro sd inserted
    the result is, n97 still stuck in white screen nokia logo
    it happend always if i turn off my phone without sign off the facebook app widggetz..
    here is how to crash your phone
    put facebook widgetz on nokia standby screeen
    and then put it online mode
    klik the facebook app
    just do anything in your facebook for check it already connected
    klik end key
    now turn off your phone without sign out the Facebook
    turn on again
    and boom your phone will stuck on nokia white screen logo
    and it will never boot forever..
    sometime when you take off the batery and reinserted again it can boot normaly but the percentage is 20% only..
    soo if your n97 can boot normaly after FB "accident" that mean you lucky and i sugest you unistall your FB ASAP before n97 stuck again on white screen nokia logo..
    is anyone have problem like mee??
    i like to hear another opinion...
    i think nokia already knew this problem, that way when you check ovi and your phone set to nokia n97 the facebook app is missing...
    my firmware is v11 already

  • How can I move pictures from Finder to a folder on my main screen?

    I'm trying to put a bunch of photos that are currently in Finder into a folder on my main screen so I can drag them easily onto photo printing sites. How do I do that?
    Thanks!

    Thanks! But I have like 100 pictures………is there a way to do them as a group instead of individually?  I also want them in some sort of folder not just 100 individual photos all over the main screen. Is there a way to create that?

  • I have updated Firefox to 8.0.1 but the main screen still says " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" What is the problem?

    I downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe from the website to my desktop and opened it as an administrator. The available choice (once opened) was to upgrade. When the process was complete my version of Firefox was identified as 8.0.1 but the main screen still said - "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

    I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side.  E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

  • I cracked my screen. I want to use other monitor which I had one. I bought Apple Mini-DP to VGA adapter. It worked. It means I can see ADDITIONAL screen. However I want to use this monitor for the main screen. How can I do?? Please help.

    I cracked my screen. I want to use other monitor which I had one. I bought an Apple Mini-DP to VGA adapter. It worked. It means I can see ADDITIONAL screen. However I want to use this monitor for the main screen. How can I do?? Please help.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the monitor. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the monitor and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the monitor your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

  • How do I get a "PLAY ALL" button on the main screen for iDVD?

    I spent a lot of time creating a DVD with pictures and music, and the main screen when I play the DVD shows all of the different scenes, but when I click on one of the scenes, it won't continue to the next one. I have to individually plan every scene in order to watch the whole DVD, rather than just clicking on the first scene and letting it play through. How do I make it so that I can either create another button that will play the whole DVD through or make it so that it continues to the next scene after the previous one is finished??

    You can't create a 'play all' button with iDVD. All your separate scenes are separate movies as far as iDVD is concerned. You need to assemble all you separate scenes into one movie in iMovie and then insert chapter markers if you want separate entry points.
    Apple's pro DVDSP does let you link movies to obtain a play all function.

  • Hiding a Complete Subscreen in a main Screen

    HI All,
             I have a req in which there is 5 subscreens present in one main screen. My issue is i want to hide a complete Subscreen based on 1checkbox present in that mainscreen itself.
    After checking that checkbox user will be pressing ENTER. After that i need to hide some of the subscreens.
    Thanks in advance,
    Shyam

    HI,
    You can check for the subscreen_area that you use to put the subscreen and in the PBO of the main screen you can avoid calling this subscreen or you can hide the subscreen area by making SCREEN-ACTIVE=0 for the subscreen area.
    For the check box you can set some fcode and in the PAI you can set some global flag which you need to check in PBO and then deactive the subscreen area.
    PAI module.
    if ok_code is <your check box>.
    if check_box = 'X'.
    global_flag = 'X'.
    else.
    clear global_flag.
    endif.
    PBO Module.
    if global_flag = 'X'.
    loop at screen.
    if screen-name = 'SUBSCREEN_AREA'.
    screen-active= 0.
    modify screen.
    endloop.
    endif.
    Regards,
    Sesh

  • Can I disable "Slide to Call" from main screen?  Forced to take call on accidental swipe

    I have an iPhone 4s with iOS7 and I seriously do not like the "Slide to Call" feature from the main screen and would like to disable it.  I would still like to see notifications on the home screen.  I have accidentally swiped a call amongst other notifications and NO FUNCTION BUTTONS POP UP TO LET ME CANCEL THE CALL!.  Seriously.  A blank screen.  I make an accidental swipe and now have to talk to someone I didn't want to talk to at the time.
    Let me better describe the situation.
    The 4s phone was locked.  I had received a call and a text which were displayed on the home screen.  I attempted to swipe the text, but hit the call.  NO BUTTON, I had a blank screen and the call was going off in the 4s ear piece.  I had to take the call or look totally stupid.  I was just so angry that there was no way for me to end the call.  In the second after the connection was made, after having held it to my ear and moved it away a few times, the buttons (End, speaker, etc) finally appeared. 

    You can always press the Sleep/Wake button.
    If you have the iPhone ear-phones on, you can press the the remote button also.
