Symbols are showing as black squares?

I have the Blackberry Curve 9300, v5.0.0.846, bundle 1440, platform 6.3.0.39, and I noticed on BBM and on Twitter and such, that when people post some symbols or small different lettering and such, they show up as small black squares instead of what they actually posted. A friend of mine put in their BBM name "love" in a different type lettering, but all I could see was 4 small black squares. It wasn't until I looked at my friends phone, who has a bold, that I noticed it actually said something, whereas I thought my friend had actually put the small black squares. The black squares look a little something like this, except bigger and black: ▪▪▪▪
Is my phone outdated or what?

oh and if you use a creative cloud version of Lightroom it could also be that the logon to the cloud is messed up. Logging out and logging back in from preferences in the creative cloud app will fix that. Due to the release of Lightroom CC it appears that adobe's servers have been overwhelmed a bit And many people have strange problems that are solved by logging out and back in.

Black squares on iPhoto

After uploading photos from my camera onto iPhoto, some pictures (specifically the pictures that were taken vertically) are shown as black squares. The picture is shown on the camera but when it's uploaded it appears as a black square. The rest of my pictures are fine.

There apparently is a bug of somesort here - one person reported that if you import, rotate the photo and then revert to original it resolved that photo - a workaround if it works for you - I have not seen this at all but if you search teh forums you will see many reports of it

Black Square on Tabs

Hello there, can someone guide to find a problem fixing Safari. Lately when I open a new tab, the one Im using, instead of showing the loading circle it just shows a black square. How can I fix that?
Thank you.

Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. Try tabs.
If that doesn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

HT3149 iPhoto 09 When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into edit, it shows up black and the edit buttons are not active. How do I fix that?

When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into the edit pane, there is no image just a black square and the edit buttons are not active. A few images in an event will move to the edit pane but most will not. I cannot work with those images that do not enter the edit pane..no attaching to email, make a card, slideshow, etc.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Video embeds show up as empty black squares

Related to: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967209
In firefox 27, 28, and nightly youtube embeds frequently show up as blank black squares. I cannot even right click them to inspect the iframe containing the video. No controls whatsoever are available. Safe mode does not change this behavior. Disabling the Shockwave Flash plugin causes the videos to load correctly as html5 video. Flash youtube embeds work fine in IE11 and chrome.
Ex: the 4th and 5th video embedded in this page http://lajollacreative.com/blog.html are blank while the first 3 load fine and appear to be using the html5 player.
Edit: If I go to http://lajollacreative.com/blog.html and modify the URL in the iframes of the offending videos to remove the "http:" or "https:" the video loads correctly. It seems that flash youtube embeds are broken in firefox if the URL is prefixed with "http:" or "https:"

The pattern I see is a problem with the videos in iframes that use a secure (HTTPS) URL. The player loads into the iframe, but the media never loads.
You can extract the iframe src URLs and display them above the iframes for diagnosis using a little snippet of script.
Open Firefox's Web Console below the page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k. Then paste the following next to the caret (») and press Enter to run it:
var ifs=document.getElementsByTagName("iframe"); for (var i=0; i<ifs.length; i++) {var p=document.createElement("p"); p.appendChild(document.createTextNode("iframe src="+ifs[i].getAttribute("src"))); p.style.color="red"; ifs[i].parentNode.insertBefore(p, ifs[i]);}
But... I can't figure out why there is a problem. ??

Help, all my iphotos will not open, the thumbnails are there but when i click on them i get a black square with an exclemation mark in it?

What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.6.3 the correct version of your OS?
Have you cleaned up your computer using the finder to delete files recenbtly?
If you have not deleted the original photos in error then backup your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database

I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

Photos in iPhoto from my photostream are showing up as black images (not pictures).

I have been experiencing issues with my iPhoto in the past few weeks and photostream. My photostream on my phone has all of my photos intact, however, on my macbook pro about 90% of the photos in my photostream show up as black images/boxes. Included below is a picture of what my "photos" from my photostream look like on my computer. I have also experienced issues with iPhoto running very slowly/almost being unresponsive. I have iPhoto v9.3 and OS 10.7.4. Any help is appreciated!

If I click on one of the black boxes it opens a larger view of the box as if it is a photo and gives you all of the editing options that are usually displayed. I've included a screenshot of how this appears in case the visual explanation is clearer than my verbal one. If you look at the bottom of it too you will notice that there are maybe three or four photos along the bottom reel that are intact but the rest are black boxes. I have also included another screen shot of my photo stream that shows these black boxes with a normal photo.

My newest events show up as black squares

The newest events I've imported show up as black key photos and no images show when I roll my mouse over the event. When I am in photos view all the pictures show up and can be opened. It looks like this:
When I change the size of the events by using the bottom right slider I can see the event key photos, but as soon as I release the slider the events return back to black squares, as shown below:

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Some of my photos in my slide shows (which worked before) suddenly show up black. They are visible on the upper part but not on the screen. What's wrong?

Some of my pictures in my slideshows suddenly show up black. They worked before. I've tried editing to no avail; if I double click the pic in the upper bar it flashes for a nanosecond and disappears again. Since many are from the same place and only some are black, I don't know what to make of it. Help!

Apply the fix below:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.

Black areas are showing up as green

Since I upgraded to Firefox V:8 some of the images show the black areas (background, shadows, and the like) as a bright green. If I change to the IE engine, the problem goes away. I've messed with disabling the add-ons, without any repeatable fix. Sometimes, disabling one of them will fix the problem, until the next day, when things are messed again(?).
The problem seems to link to JPEG images, but I am not going to guarantee that just yet.
http://ashleymichelew.blogspot.com/ is one place I've seen the problem.

That can be caused by a problem with the color profile for your display monitor or color profiles embedded in images.<br />
You can disable color management to test that.<br />
You can set the pref gfx.color_management.mode to 0 on the about:config page to disable Color Management.<br />
You need to close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

My quicktime movies are showing up as completely black

Some of my quicktime movies, made quite a while ago, are all of a sudden showing up black on my MacBook Pro. They used to play perfectly on this same computer, it seems to be a very recent change. But when I went back to an early backup on Time Machine, they were still black. I tried copying one to another computer, an iMac, and there they played perfectly. Has there been a change to the system or to the Quicktime player that would cause this?

Interesting! Thanks for posting the link, QT Kirk.
I don't have any Motion JPEG files to test. But I just looked in my Lion version and I can no longer chooose Motion JPEG as a video codec export option in QuickTime Player 7.6.6 Pro.
I just created and tested MJPEG A and B files (MPEG Streamclip still accesses the Apple Motion JPEG A/B export codecs) in both QT X.1 and QT 7.6.6 under Lion. Both still play on my system even though the QT 7 Pro export option is no longer available as stated above. Looks like "the handwriting is on the wall" even if the codecs are still supported (at least partially) at this time.
