[SOLVED] Opera + Youtube + Flashplugin = Black Rectangle

Hi guys,
I just encountered a problem with Youtube, Opera and the Flashplugin.
I updated my System this afternoon and pacman installed the
newest version of Opera. Till this point everything was fine. After the
update the flashplugin seems to work only on channels of youtube users,
on the normal 'white' youtube layout the flashplayer didn't appear.
There's just a black rectangle where the player should be.
Clicking doesn't lead to anything than showing up opera's dialog.
It seems that the plugin crashed due to the layout of the site?!?
Here's the /var/log/pacman.log

I also tried to install firefox and there is no problem at all.
I deactived the hardware acceleration for opera. I read that this should
solve the problem, but obviously it didn't ...
Thank you for any kind of advice

Hi guys,
sorry for the last response, I wasn't at home over the weekend and there was no way
to test the suggestions.
awbs wrote:Check to make sure when your on YouTube opera is identifying itself as Opera and not another internet browser by right clicking the youtube page > Edit Site Preferences > Network > Browser Identification > "Identify as Opera".
Checked that, and it's activated.
There are no extensions which could affect the performance or the behavior of opera.
And I don't use qtcurve.
It's strange, it seems that after the update opera broke but there are no
other post from other users. Installed firefox and it worked, same for dwb.
Anybody other ideas?
Thanks for the great support

Why are iCal alarms coming up with a black rectangle?

Why are iCal alarms coming up with a black rectangle? I'm running 10.3.9 and iCal v. 1.5.2. This started after I did software updates this week.
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I solved it in my case by going to System Preferences>Internet & Network>QuickTime>Advanced, then clicking the checkbox to Enable Flash. I also had to quit and restart iCal.
I think the Quicktime715 update that recently came out had something to do with it.
It seems that the black box is supposed to be a movie of a vibrating alarm clock, and apparently that movie uses Flash.
I hope this fix works for you too.

Why do I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen when I import a clip in Imovie?

I import a clip into imovie 6 and I get a black rectangle on the left side of the screen. It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for the reply.
My original source material is in Apple Intermediate Codec, with 32-bit float audio and a variable frame rate. This has not been friendly to FCP, so I use Quicktime to convert it to Apple ProRes with 24-bit audio and 29.97 frame rate. This is what I import into FCP.
My sequence settings are set to the same specs as my source material. 854x480, square pixels, no field dominance, Apple ProRes compression.
The black bar on the left side of the screen shows up before I even export. It shows up when I render everything.
I am exporting with Quicktime Conversion to:
MP4
h.264 codec
720x405
1000 video bit rate
Main Profile
No cropping/filters or anything.
The ONLY thing I did different before upgrading to FCP6 was that I used Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through. I was told by an FCP instructor that writes and publishes all kinds of FCP training material that I should upgrade to FCP6 and use the Apple ProRes422 Codec instead, so that's what I'm trying to do.
I am going back to restart my project using Apple Intermediate Codec all the way through like I used to, but it will be awhile before I can tell if that solved the problem. Either way, I would like to be using the ProRes codec....
Thoughts?

Can't print image - black rectangle is printed

Hello to all the java experts
I try to print an icon (gif file), therefore I draw the image into Graphics2D object. Sometimes when I changes the borders of the image a black rectangle is printed.
For example:
Image iisLogo=getToolkit().getImage("\\\\hostname\\TapiTkina\\logoMTI2.gif");
pg2.drawImage(iisLogo,0,0,400,70,null);
prints ok, but:
pg2.drawImage(iisLogo,0,0,400,60,null);
prints a black rectangle.
Why is it happen? What can I do to solve it?

Thanks for your reply - the path is correct but you gave me another idea. The second command drawImage() was performed before the first command (which loaded the image) had finished. Therefore I have loaded the image at the begining of my program (in order to be sure that its loading was finished) and it fixed the problem.
Thanks a lot again

Black rectangles after 10.4.5 Upgrade?

Help! I just did the automatic update to 10.4.5 and now I have black rectangles around many of the field windows, desktop icons, etc. It's especially annoying while using Quark.
If I open a window box, the black rectangle superimposes itself over my layout.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Can I uninstall 10.4.5 and go back to the former version?

katarina,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Mac OS X 10.4: Computer speaks unexpectedly, or a black box unexpectedly appears around a file, folder, or other item: If a black outline (or box) unexpectedly appears around a file, folder, icon, button, or other item when you click it, VoiceOver is probably enabled. Your computer might also be unexpectedly speaking items that you click on.
If you don't want VoiceOver on, turn it off in the Universal Access preference pane, or by pressing Command-F5 (or Fn-Command-F5 if you have an iBook or PowerBook).;~)

It is a revision 1 board.
I replaced the battery, pressed the CUDA ect.

Viewing PDF in preview, black rectangles around links

I've created a PDF in Microsoft Word 7.0, the PDF looks great in all applications except Preview on a mac. It would seem that all links in the PDF have a black rectangle around them, this only seems to be an issue in Preview, is this a known issue? As near as I can tell, no other applications seem to be interpreting these links as having boxes around them, this would lead me to believe that the problem does not lay with how the PDF was created.

Hi,
Can you try any other PDF file in Preview (not the one you created)

Black rectangle follows cursor

I just updated to 10.4.8 and when the computer restarted I now have a black rectangle that is centered on my cursor and follows the cursor around the screen. It is just the black outline of a rectangle. Any ideas?

Hi, kmroxo.
This is a bug in the Mac OS X 10.4.8 update. For details and the workaround, see my "Black rectangle appears after Mac OS X 10.4.8 Update" FAQ.
Good luck!

Black rectangle on startup

I removed all the cables from the back of my Blue and White G4 (10.4.11) to do a spot of spring cleaning. On trying to restart I get a chime, the apple logo with spinning ball, then a black rectangle appears and the ball stops spinning
I have:-
1. zapped the PRAM
2. started from the install disc and repaired permissions using Disc Utility
3. started in Safe Mode and run TechTools Deluxe
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Tony

Hi-
I assume it may also be accompanied by a grayish screen.
This would be a kernel panic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392
Since you just did some plugging/unplugging, I would remove all cables again, open the tower and reseat the graphics card.
Reconnect monitor, keyboard and mouse only, and try starting again.
If still a no go, I would open it once again, and reseat the RAM.
While you're in there, make sure all other connections are tight.
Reconnect and try starting.
If that doesn't do it, you will have to look deeper:

Black rectangle floating with my cursor

Black rectangle blocking iPad screen

Recently when my iPad died and I went to charge it, it had a black rectangle (with a few colourful lines through it) appearing on the screen. The rectangle blocks all of the content behind it. I can still use the iPad but this huge rectangle takes up about 1/3 of the screen, right in the middle. Does anyone know what this could be?

try triple clicking the home button

Black rectangle

How can I get rid of the black rectangle that is usually on the back page arrow or right now it is around the apple at the top of the page? Sometimes it will go around half the stuff on the page. If safari is not open it will go around an icon on the desk top. I have tried restoring my defaults on the mouse and in system preferences.

Hi
It sounds like you've accidentally turned on the Voiceover feature. Go into System Preferences - Universal Access, and turn off Voiceover if it's on.
The keyboard shortcut is cmd-F5 so it's not too difficult to hit it by mistake.

Black rectangle top right

A semi-transparent black rectangle has appeared top right, just below the menu bar, about 3 inches by 1.5 inches. I cannot drag or resize it but can click throught it to items underneath.I think it appeared as I was upgrading Stuffit Expander to 10.0.2. I have voice-over turned off. A restart has not cured it. Any ideas?

Hi, Richard.
Since you've indicated that VoiceOver is off:
1. If you see a single black rectangle that follows the mouse around, you have enabled the Preview Rectangle for Zoom. The Preview Rectangle appears if you have the following System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing preferences set:• Zoom On and...
• ...in the Zoom "Options" sheet:• "Show preview rectangle when zoomed out..." selected; and
• have set Maximum Zoom anywhere above the minimum setting, i.e. >1.
If Zoom is not required and On is selected, select Off.
2. Have you used a third-party utility that enables the hidden "Minimize desktop to a box" feature of Exposé? In prior versions of Mac OS X, enabling this hidden (and not ready for prime time) feature could create dead spotson the screen in the region of said "box."
3. An errant Startup or Login Item maybe the cause. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem.
4. I also suggest following these general iMac G5 troubleshooting steps:1. See if your computer's serial number is in the range specified in the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" document.
2. Rule out potential hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with the computer. Instructions for doing so will be found in the hardcopy manual that accompanied your computer. For additional details, see my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
3. Check the diagnostic LEDs, a feature of your iMac G5. See "About the iMac G5 diagnostic LEDs."
4. If your iMac G5 will not turn on, see "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on."
5. See also the iMac Service & Support site.
6. Check the iMac G5 Discussions for similar reports from other users.
7. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
8. If the computer is either under warranty or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, don't hesitate to take advantage of your warranty and contact AppleCare.Good luck!
