Test page shows only black bars

I followed Bob's instructions and actually got my Designjet to wake up! I have its parallel cable connected to a USB adapter and programmed to the USB001 virtual port in my newer windows 7-64 bit computer. I use the driver for the HP Designjet 600 (E/a0) which has always worked fine on my old 32-bit windows xp pro computer. The plotter responds to the 'print test page' command but shows solid black bars instead of text. Suggestions anyone? (I paid $5500 for this beautiful machine and it runs as good as new. I refuse to throw it in the landfill. My original deskjet 882c still runs perfectly, despite all the windows upgrades over the past 30 years. If they're not willing to maintain their drivers, HP should disclose that their plotters have limited lifespans no matter how much they cost.)

I'm not computer expert but I solved my own problem getting my Designjet c1633b to print new autocad drawings through my 64bit computer. All I had to do what plot my drawings to pdf files. I was then able to print out the pdf's on my 24 year old HP Designjet like it was brand new. I had a small problem at first: my drawings were shrunk and the margins were oversized so the scale of the printed image was off. I solved that by setting the pdf print command to "full size". Sorry HP, but as long as this beautiful machine keeps running, I'll keep using it.

Testing app on device shows only black screen.

Hi,
I created hello world app, app is working fine on simulator,
But when I install this app on device, and launch it from devie it shows only black screen. I am not sure whats the possible reason for this.
Device which I am using is Intex cloud fx.
Does any here faced this problem?
Thanks

Hi Malkit Singh,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems installing a test app that you developed for your Intex Cloud Fx.
Unfortunately, I have not heard of this issue. Do you have a different Firefox OS device that you would be able to test this on?
I would also suggest contacting Intex Support for device-specific issues.
If you believe there might be something wrong with the code in the test app, you can ask developer-related questions on [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/firefox-os StackOverflow].
Please let us know if you have any other questions about your new Firefox OS device! =)

i restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

Samsung SyncMaster 2243 Shows Only Black

I've just purchased a Samsung SyncMaster 2243 monitor and changed its resolution. When rebooting my Mac the monitor shows only black with an alert exactly saying: 'Non optimum mode - Optimum mode 1920x1080 60Hz'.
The point is that I have no chance to go and change the resolution, because the monitor won't show other than black. I tried to restart from the system DVD pressing the C key on restart but with still the same result.
Don't really know what else to do. Can anyone eventually help me from out there?
By the way, I must say (and this is the strange part of all) that the first three or four times I switched my Mac on, after the advice the monitor showed, I could see my desktop and operate normally.
Thank you in advance
Giovanni

I would connect it to another monitor that I knew will work, once at the DT I would go to system preferences and set the display to a setting I know will work, say 1024x768, shut down my mac, connect the samsung and start. If you have a graphics card that has duel video ports and connect both up and set the video settings that way.
Does the samsung have a menu that allows monitor settings that can be changed?

SWF/FLV files show white/black bars on sides of frame

I have a recurring issue of bars showing up on the left and right side of my swf/flv frames. The good news is the video plays on our site. The bad news is the bars show up on some of the flash files (like on testimonials.html) and not on others (like wedding.html), even though I perceive I'm copying in the same code.

Hi
1st. I like many other will not download a zip file, can you post a link to the site?
It may be if you are using the same code but only changing the swf/flv file name, that the swf/flv's are smaller than the size specified in your object code - width="600" height="366".
If the swf/flv's size is smaller then the player will be the size specified, but your swf/flv will be centralized inside the player, (unless otherwise specified) resulting in the white/black bars.

Cannot start mac book air. Screen shows only program bar and screensaver picture

I cannot open my MacBookAir. The screen is black or shows only the screensaver picture and the program bar at the bottom of the screen. Icons do not react on clicks.

Hello gero1954,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that your Mac is unresponsive. To try and fix this issue, I'd like you to please restart your computer.
Restart
Do any of the following:
Choose Apple menu > Restart.
Hold down the power button until you see the restart, sleep, or shut down dialog, then click Restart, or press R.
If the pointer freezes on the screen or your Mac becomes unresponsive, press Control-Command (⌘)-Power button to force a restart.
Important: If you force a restart, you may lose unsaved changes in open documents.
If you don’t want the app windows you currently have open to reopen when you restart your Mac and sign in, deselect “Reopen windows when logging back in.”
OS X Yosemite: Log out, sleep, restart, and shut down
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Alex H.

- .mov ok
- VLC reads mp4 ok, but Realplayer not (shows a white screen).
- till yesterday, all ok. No system or app update in the meantime.
- I downloaded again QT and re-installed, but it does not fixed the problem.
Thanx for any help!

I got same problem with h264 exported by ADOBE Premiere Pro, and my soundman cannot play it on his MAc it gives a black screen. But he can playback other h264 with similar specs, but that that were made with Sorenson 3.

Syncing problem - showing only progress bar

The syncing keeps showing the progress bar but not actually showing whats moving onto the iphone, like the song, video, etc. I believe it isnt doing anything because it takes forever 4+ hrs and i've only selected about 200mp3 and 500jpegs.
How can I find out the problem here?

Haven't done the (obvious) first step yet, DU reports all is well.
Also, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF. Quit Safari, then relaunch Safari to see if it makes a difference.
No such item in Safari Preferences (v 4.1.3)
You may not have a third party toolbar add on but follow the instructions here just in case there's a Safari third party plugin installed.
No toolbars, but several plugins in the internet plugins folders, one in the User/Library, the rest in the system Library. I'm suspecting one of the recent ones, & will try to get to checking it tonight.
Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Another probable cause, all right. I'm struggling to get the seemed-big-at-the-time 60GB drive back up to 10% . Ah well, must press on with that quest, I guess.
Several good leads here. Will post again after checking them out.
Thanks,

Window resized to show only title bar and pushed off screen viewing area

Anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon?
I open some PDF documents, then leave the computer for a few hours. When I come back, they have all been resized to only show the title bar AND they have been pushed off the bottom left corner of my screen, so that only a tiny portion of the title bar can be seen. I then drag them all back up into view, and resize them so I can read them again. Give it another couple hours of not being actively used, and they disappear back down to the corner.
Very strange Abobe... what's happening?

Some details would help: operating system, Reader version, a screenshot perhaps: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933

I select a page for printing and the print page shows only the frame data and this is all that it prints.

when I click on print the page to print shows only the frame and that is all that is printed. Why isn't the page data shown on the print page and also printed?

Why Flash chart is showing only 15 bars

Hi,
I have created a flash chart, a 2d column chart, but it is showing only 15 columns, I have checked that query is returning more that 20 rows.
When I created a Pie chart with the same query, it too showing 15 pieces with one extra piece 'Other' by calculating other remaining rows.
Can anybody tell, why bar and pie chart are not showing all the rows?
Thanks
-Smith

Hi Ben,
Your tip really helped me to fix a chart problem. I have a stacked bar chart and there were more than 25 columns. Due to the limitation, the chart was showing incorrectly with wrong values. After increasing the limit, it displays correctly now.
Thanks a lot

Why Does Mavericks 'Display' Show Two Black Bars During Video Playback?

Hey guys. So I'm at college and I've been watching a bunch of movies on my Macbook.
I own a 24-inch monitor where I play the movies through, as I connect it to my Macbook Pro 2012.
When I was on Mountain Lion and I'd play a movie, the video playback would take up the entire 24-inch display screen perfectly.
But now that I've updated to Mavericks, every movie including YouTube videos are stretched and small with two HUGE black bars on the top and on the bottom. I've tried changing the 'Display' options but it still remains the same and it's bugging me out so much that I may need to go back to Mountain Lion just because of this.
Does anyone have any advice and may have suffered from the same issue? It worked perfectly on Mountain Lion but now it makes the videos look stretchy.

Most YouTube content requires Flash .. You're using Safari to view YouTube?
If so ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Not empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try a video.
