Random Pages Went Blank! Objects still there
Hi,
I'm experiencing a weird bug, one week before the deadline of a big project, and I'm somewhat panicing right now...
Several spreads (in 172-page document) went completely blank (they just look white, and not even master page is visible).
If I copy-paste the spread from an earlier version of this project, all I get is what looks like an invisible dot in the center of the spread that's selected.
If I just drag the selection tool over the spread (without pasting anything), I get the same "dot" in the centre selected.
That dot appears to be all the objects on my page, as they still show up in the layers panel, and get the blue square when they are selected (see screenshot).
Has anyone experienced this before and/or knows how to get my spreads looking normal?
Thank you so much.
OK, found a fix:
Add a new spread
Select all the objects on the broken spread (the "dot").
Paste all the objects on the newly-created spread.
*phew*.. these kinds of bugs are the cause of heart attacks and stokes
I won't have the time to submit a bug report; but I'm using Indesign CS5.5 on Vista, with all updates applied.

The pre-loaded "portrait" style text template in Pages went blank. How do I get it back?
The "landscape" template is still good, so I have to open a new landscape document and change it to portrait manually, which is annoying.
Sounds as there is something corrupt in your Pages.
First try Pages in a new user account. You create it in System Preferences > Accounts. Log in to it and try Pages. If you have the same problem there you need to uninstall Pages/iWork and the install it again
If it does work it is something in your user account that is wrongly working. Many times it is the plist file.
Tell us which and we will give more information. -

Waiting for your help
Thanks for your time
gerardHi Gerard, have you switched from using the built-in PDF viewer to the Adobe Acrobat viewer? This article has the steps for that if you haven't tried it, and also shows where you can confirm which ones is being used: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
When saving a PDF using the ''built-in viewer'', use the Download button on the toolbar above the PDF (looks like a downward pointing arrow). This may be more reliable than the Save Page As command.
When saving a PDF using the ''Adobe Acrobat viewer'', as you move the mouse pointer down the document, a floating toolbar should appear with a disk icon. (Or if you press the Esc key, a toolbar should appear above the document.) Use the disk icon on the Adobe Acrobat toolbar to save the document. -
Windows 8 on Macbook Air went blank screen at login page
Installed Windows 8 on my MBA. It was working perfectly fine until today, whereby the login page went blank/blank screen on me and it seems as though it went to sleeping mode. Mac OS working fine and managed to get into safe mode on windows. Any help on this? friend suggested that my bootcamp crashed, thus the blank/empty screen but i have no idea what to do as of now as I'm not good with IT.
It is not your BC Windows, but your screen brightness that may be causing problems. Please plug in your Power Adapter, and press the Shift key when Windows is up an running. You can start Windows from OS X System Preferences -> Startup Disk -> Bootcamp -> Restart.
Please also see Re: Windows 8 display is turned off at startup - cannot login - Stuck pls help. -
I backed up my files on dvds before buying a new computer. When I went to tranfer teh files onto my new cpu the dvds were blank. Is there anything I can do to get my files back. Oh and I live in Canada.............
It would probably work if the thumb drive was still connected when you tried to play the song.
Go to iTunes preferences Advanced tab. There is a checkbox for Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library. If that checkbox is not checked, iTunes adds songs to your library but links to the song file from where it was added (which would be on the thumb drive). When you disconnect the thumb drive, iTunes says "the original file cannot be located."
If this is the reason for your problem, check that checkbox. You may also want to check the other checkbox for Keep iTunes Media folder organized, if it's not checked already.
With the thumb drive NOT connected, remove all of the songs you recently added from the iTunes library. Then, connect the thumb drive and add the songs again, like you did before. This time, iTunes will make of copy of the song files and put them in the iTunes Media folder. -
Okay, so my friends music downloaded to my iPhone when i put it on his computer to charge and i re-synced it to mine and all his music is still there but blank and wont play how can i get it off of my phone, its so annoying!! My itunes only has like 4 songs because my computer crashed and lost all my songs, and I'm not trying to steal his music. But like I said its still in the music app on the phone but its all blank and wont play. I just want it off.
When he plugs it into his Mac again, he should be asked if he wishes to sync with that Mac.

At random times firefox loads an unrequested page. Sometimes it is the Google search page but more often it is a random page which sometimes loads or stays blank. I do not recognise them as sites from my directory. Otherwise Firefox works well. Any suggestion for a cure?

Songs on ipod randomly disappear but itunes thinks they are still there on ipod
my ipod recently randomly deleted all my songs on my ipod except for an ep i bought directly from my ipod. I had not synced it in a while so that has nothing to do with it. when i did sync it to try and retrieve all my songs, my itunes still acts as though nothing happened and all my songs are there. i tried turning off and on my ipod and no one seems to have had this happen to them so i dont know what to do. all my apps work and none of my photos got wiped though.
Does your iPod touch show the shows as still there if you check Settings > General > About? Does that match the number of songs synced from iTunes?
You can always search Spotlight on the iPod too, to see if its still on there somewhere.
If you think there is a problem with the software on the iPod touch, try restoring it. -
I use a Pages document (password protected) as a frequent reference. It is 22 pages of text. Suddenly most text was replaced with strange characters, each encased in a little rectangle, so document was unreadable. Selecting a section of text, I could right-click and see that underlying text was still there, just not readable onscreen. Style was "Normal*." I don't know what the " * " means. I selected all and changed style to "Heading 9" on the list. All text reappeared, so my data is ok - for now (though not formatted as I want it). I can't trust Pages, however, and don't know what caused the problem or how to avoid it.
Note that the style now shows "Heading 9*". I don't know why the " * ". I tried selecting all and making "Normal" the global style, but the strange characters wouldn't budge. Switching back to Normal brings back gibberish.
Some text is Verdana; I just noticed that changing font also got rid of gibberish. Changing back to Verdana brought back gibberish.
Note that not every line of text was changed to gibberish; some were just fine.
Other Pages documents are fine - right now. I notice that there are asterisks in Style in other text documents.
I'm an experienced computer user, new to Pages in the fall when it came with my MacBook Air. In this document, format isn't all that important, but I can imagine where this would be a huge disaster for other types of documents.
Any help in figuring out what's going on most appreciated.Tom -
"That sounds like Apple's Last Resort font, which gets used when for some reason the app forgets about the font being used. Use Fontbook to make sure you don't have duplicate Verdanas on your machine. Also try cleaning your font caches with Onyx or by doing a safe boot"
Wow! Who would have guessed! Thank you for the advice; Fontbook revealed a number of duplicate fonts - ot Verdana, interestingly enough - which I have now resolved. I then switched all text to Trebuchet MS, and everything reverted to normal. I can live with Trebuchet.
This problem appeared on the same day (before or after I wasn't sure) I installed MS Office. Could this have caused the problem?
Thanks for your prompt reply, explanation and solutions. -
Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!
Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can. -

I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond. I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears. I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac). What else can I do?
You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear. -
