Preview shows blank pages
I've just received a 13 page pdf file. Opening it with Preview showed me 13 blank pages. Opening it with Acrobat showed me the pages as they are supposed to look. What's going on? Why can't Preview show the contents? (The file was created on a PC, if that's relevant, by scanning in the pages, but I don't know the procedure after that.)
I'm using 10.3.9, all updates installed, on a G4/1.25 PowerBook.

Hi Susan,
I can't explain the anomaly, but I experience similar problems with Preview when I attempt to view PDF docs that are created by my company, and also by a friend who is a missionary in Cameroon Africa (who I presume is using a PC to create the PDF docs...). I'm guessing that the program that creates their PDFs is causing the 'headache' for our version of Preview...
The PDFs created by my company will not be 'searchable', and most of the text of PDFs created by my friend will be unreadable by Preview.
Of note, an associate who uses Tiger, does not seem to have the same problems with his version of Preview...

I have itune 10.5 with windows 7, when i click itune store it is not connected and show blank page.
You can't, Anh. That's what people are telling you. At this time there's no way to get out of recovery mode. You're playing around with beta software and this is what you get.
Tell your "developer friend" he needs to talk to other developers to see if this can be fixed, or have him replace your devices that you should never have let him play with to begin with. -
My appstore says cannot connect to iTunes and it shows blank page i tried all advices but there is no result shall give my iPad to the apple store to make it
I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

A blank page is sent to the printer. When I view the text page in Print Preview, the page is blank and it is a .pdf. The print feature works fine with other browsers. This suddenly occurred. One minute I was able to print...the next minute blank pages print. I have tried two different printers and both experience the same problem on Firefox. The plug-ins are up to date.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.Slow down a bit and think this through.
CUPS on linux is nearly identical to CUPS on OS X - but there is no Mac-to-Mac Apple proprietary print sharing. Rather, on linux you are sharing the printer using standard printing protocols. Just like on the Mac (when using the standard protocols like Windows/SMB or IP printing), linux print queues expect postscript input. Try using a generic postscript driver from the mac.
And when you add the printer via Windows Printing or IP > LPD or IPP, you will need to know the queue name for that printer from the linux box. (one computer with one IP address can have multiple printers - so what's the additional address info to print to your desired printer? - queue name.)

App Store showing blank pages in Yosemite
After my update to Yosemite the AppStore behaves severely crippled.
The main "Featured" , "Top Charts", "Updates" and "Purchases" page work normal,
however the "Categories" page only shows the category titles, and worse: going into any detail page for an App gives me a completely blank page.
I already tried to restarted to system, but no change.
When starting AppStore from the iTerm the following error is included on startup (not sure if it's an expected message):

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
MartijnPlease read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Horizontal scrolling to next article shows blank page
I've found a bug when scrolling horizontally between articles it will sometimes add a blank page to the adjacent article. This is remedied by scrolling up (which removes the blank page) but will reappear if I scroll back two articles and then forward two articles again.
Here are some images showing what I mean.I've seen this also.

Google browser in "go to" option shows blank page upon loading.
Hello there, I am a newbie in the blackberry world. I just got mine, Bold 9700 for my engagement present. I am using it for about a week form. I am Malaysian and I am using the DiGi carrier. At first everything going smoothly, web browsing is excellent. I downloaded some great application mainly form google mobile, such as google maps, google for mobile and gmail.
since last 2 days, I encounter some problem with the web browser. when i tried to search something using the blackberry browser in the "go to" option. I often encounter the blank page, especially using the google browser option. when i turn to yahoo, the browser works well. The blank screen also happen when i tried to type some web address such as wikipedia.org and so on. The blank page still happen. Regarding the "blank page", the loading screen appear when finish loading, the screen leave only blank space. left was only the scroll down bar on the left.
I tried to solve why it was happening, the google browser in the "go to" option can be functioning when I change the "set encoding". I tried each of the encoding and I found one is functioning (partially). Initially the encoding was in auto and shows the ISO-8859-1. the partially working encoding is ISO-2202-CN. the google was working but the web adress bar encounter the "blank screen" problem.
I called the service center of my carrier, DiGi. They did guide me to solve the problem. The pull out the battery methods, the changing of the TCP/IP in advance option, the enabling the APN setting. And the last option the guide me was the "security wipe". I did make the back up of my data. After all the instruction followed, I still encounter the problem. More worst, I tried to download the google application again after the "security wipe" the goolgle said my phone number was invalid.
I still cant figure out what happen with my phone. At first I got the phone, I was really excited and impress with blackberry. After this things happen, I am quite disappointed. Is there anyone out there that could help me? I love my blackberry..
regards,
latifnoh
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi there, I solved my problem. It it is not about the connection of the browser, its about the setting of the blackberry, the OS maybe. I called several time (my carrier DiGi) and the solution wasnt there either. so the I thing it must be my BB is the problem, then I send it back for the warranty service and they "re-format the OS".
I just got mine back yesterday, and everythings turn back to normal. Everything inside seems a new, like a new BB haha..thank God.
hope it help!! HAPPY!! -

MythWeb Shows Blank Page with Broken Icon Symbols.
I having a problem getting MythWeb to work. I followed the Wiki carefully. I get prompted to login, but just get a blank page with two broken icon symbols. Apache access and error logs don't show any errors.
Relevant part of mythweb.conf is:
Alias /mythweb /var/lib/mythtv/mythweb
<Directory "/var/lib/mythtv/mythweb">
Options -All +FollowSymLinks +IncludesNoExec
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/lib/mythtv/mythweb" >
I commented out the following php options as according to a MytTV Trac ticket they are no longer required and were filling my logs with errors. Uncommenting them again made no difference.
# php_value safe_mode 0
# php_value register_globals 0
# php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0
# php_value output_handler NULLI have since discovered that if I copy the “about” URL and paste it into a new tab, it works. But if I open anyrhing in a tab and then go to a reader view I see the blank screen.
Again, Palemoon continues to work.

Repost from Creative Suites | Macintosh Forum:
When I activate the help system for Creative Suite apps, the Adobe Help app opens and asks which program I need help with. Regardless of which application I select, I get a blank page. The tab at the top of the display area says AH_HOME.hml, but there is no content. I've done the updates which the program noted as available, but nothing has changed. I know there should be content there, because I've seen it on my Mac at home. Any suggestions on how to get the Hlp app working correctly?
Thanks!
Mac OS 10.8.6, 8gb, CS 5.5 Design Standard.
Update: Subsequent to opening the Help app and choosing a module (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.), the app will go to the specific application section of help. However, no content is displayed.
The URL displayed at the top right of the Help app is
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSe824490e891d80bc1e63e3d1260a97791b-8000.ht ml
I can click on that URL and open the help in a browser. The URL which shows in the browser is
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/index.html
Which seems to indicate some wonkiness (sorry for the technical jargon).
Any help is weclome!
Thanks!I tried all that several times.
Strangely, since last checking, I have not done any of that and its magically started working for me. Very odd. It seems to have just randomly began working.
Anyways, I guess I better not complain and just be happy it finally works, for whatever reason.
Thanks very much guys, and sorry for wasting your time.

Ibooks on Ipad IOS7 shows blank page as store after update.
Hi, I have updated my Ipad to IOS7 and use the latest Itunes sw on my computer.
Itunes and Ibook show only blank page when I open the store,
tried to reload app, restart Ipad, allow cookies ... nothing worked.
Any ideas?Okay, try this...
Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try iBooks again...
If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
Hope this answers your question!
