That blank window

This question may appear to heave been answered elsewhere, and perhaps it has, but none of the fixes I have implemented actually work.  I have tried the ragtag solutions, including checking my email address for unusual characters, updating Java, removing the corrupted file, etc.  I still have a BLANK window (blank is in uniformly white, without any clickable areas or links).  I can open the installed apps locally, but have no access to the launcher.  I did yesterday after removing the corrupt file, but today we're back to a blank window.  See attached screenshot.  Any ideas?  Currently running OS 10.10.1 on a 2009 Macbook with no other application functionality issues.  I show about 90 GB of free memory.  Thanks for any definitive light you can shed lon the issue!

See if the following helps.  I cannot determine what else you tried and describe as "etc"

  • A mysterious blank window suddenly appears

    Look at the image
    In the bottom of the image, some times suddenly that blank window appears and as suddenly it appears, suddenly disappears, but is a little annoying, it happens specially when I'm using adobe software, when I click the Creative Cloud in the menu bar it appears.
    Even, I can move it and resize it.

    You might try looking/posting here. Sounds like it may be an Adobe problem.

    To solve this I uninstalled Creative cloud and seems there is no anymore the problem, but I'm sure there is another way to solve it, I been two years with CC icon and nothing happened until recent days.
    Does anyone know why this happens?

  • Firefox 4 search bar and "Tips" bar are blank windows that do not work. Removed F4 and downloaded again three times but no joy. Gone back to F 3.6.17.

    On Firefox 4 home page the "Tips" bar and search bar above it
    are both blank windows. The search bar does not say Google on left side. I can type in search bar but when I click on search nothing happens. ( Desktop XP Pro)
    On my Laptop (XP home edition) Firefox 4 works fine and I have not found any faults so far.
    It's a shame losing RealPlayer downloader for YouTube. I have to go to IE for that.

    Seems that may have worked and that's great, thank you. But now I have another problem which seems to be as persistent as the search bar has been.
    Now when I edit the bar and position of the buttons some of those buttons disappear when I click Ok in the customization, but reappear when I reopen the customization settings.
    Why is that? When I put a space in between some of the buttons the buttons near the space will disappear and leave a blank space where it should be.
    I'm beginning to be rather annoyed with this Firefox Beta to say the least and am considering returning to the version before it. Whatever I do now as far as customizing is concerned of the toolbar is reset every time I reopen Firefox. The buttons are no longer where I had set them up, the address bar is stretched to it's maximum, the Menu Bar is back the far left edge, buttons are missing that I had put there, and buttons I had removed are returned.
    :| I know it may seem insignificant to some people but it annoys the crap out of me. I understand this is a beta and if there is no solution then I perhaps will use the earlier version for a while.
    Thanks for your input by they way, it's much appreciated.

  • Firefox opens blank windows, plus a normal window with my previous sessions, whenever I start (Firefox 6 on Windows XP) so how do I make it stop doing that?

    Since upgrading to Firefox 6 my Windows XP computer opens about 40 blank Firefox windows whenever I start or restart Firefox. I get my previous session (a single window with multiple tabs) but also these 40+ blank windows that I have to close. So I close them all, restart, and get same thing.

  • Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do

    Since I downloaded Apple's latest operating system, whenever I try to open Illustrator I get a message that I need to install legacy Java SE6 runtime and to click "more info" to do this. When I click "more info" I get a blank window. What should I do

    Hi,
    I had the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite. Illustrator CS6 wouldn't open. I got a message saying I should 'install legacy Java SE6 runtime'.
    The link didn't work - it lead to a blank page.
    So I downloaded Java8 (latest version) from Oracle but didn't install it. Something told me this was not the right way to go (the problem was with Java SE6, not 8). I then called Apple (in the Netherlands, were I live) for help. I got none. The best they could do was blaming Adobe for the problem or me, for not having the latest Adobe CC app. Rubbish.
    And then, magic. I tried to open Illustrator again, got the pop up message but this time the link worked. It took me to an official Apple page, with a link to download Java for OS X 2014-001. The problem is now solved.
    If curious, this is the explanation Apple gives for the problem:
    'Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005. On systems that have not already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 or later, this update disables the Java SE 6 applet plug-in. To use applets on a web page, click on the region labeled 'missing plug-in' to download the latest version of the Java applet plug-in from Oracle.'

  • FF 5.0 - when I close it, say with 5 tabs open, then later open it again, 5 blank windows open, it doesn't restore my tabs or sites.

    FF 5.0 is not reopening the tabs I had open when I closed it. It opens the number of blank windows corresponding to the number of tabs I previously had open.

    Hi glivezey,
    Try typing ''about:home'' into the address bar. Is that the page you are looking for? If so, go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and save it as your homepage. If that home page doesn't show up the next time you start Firefox, you should look at [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

    Hi Ron,
    Try deleting this file.
    com.apple.Preview.plist
    /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
    Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, emtpy the Trash and restart your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, right or control click that image, then click Get Info.
    In the Get Info window click Open with. You may have to click the discovery triangle.
    Click the pop menu and select the application you want to open that image with... you may have to navigate to your Applications folder to make a selection.

  • I'm having trouble with Creative Cloud's desktop app, when I launch it it loads but it's just a blank window, can you help?

    I'm trying to attach a screenshot but apparently that's against Adobe's guidelines.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled a few times today, even redownloaded the .exe from adobe. All with the same effect.
    Everytime CC loads with a blank window and the only thing I can interact with is the gear icon for Help, Pin Notification, and to Quit.

  • IPhoto 09 (8.1.2) - Only shows blank window/no pix after iTunes/iOS4 update

    Before updating to iTunes 9.2 and iPhone iOS4 (iPhone 3GS) my iPhoto 09 (8.1.2) was functioning perfectly. I have hundreds of photos and no issues with importing or displaying of photos on the Macbook.
    I updated to iTunes 9.2 so I could download and update my iPhone 3GS to iOS4. Once I did that update my iPhoto install has been trashed.
    Now, when I start iPhoto I get an empty two column window with no thumbnails or event folders in the larger white window column and no events/faces/last import/etc in the smaller grey left column. The two window columns exist but they are empty, no text, to pictures, nothing.
    I verified that the picture files exists within the iPhoto Library subdirectory under ~/Pictures.
    I tried starting iPhoto while holding command+option and then rebuilding the database. Also tried rebuilding small thumbnails. Nothing worked. iPhoto still starts into a blank window and there is no way to look into pictures or events manually. Even using toolbar drop down menus.
    Software Update shows no updates available so I am guessing this is a new problem or something they haven't fixed yet.
    When I start iPhoto, I get this console message:
    7/12/10 12:45:44 PM iPhoto[1039] * -[FlippedViewTextView setFont:]: nil NSFont given.
    When I starting clicking the main drop down menus in iPhoto I get:

    Ideas?

    Perhaps a full repair permissions is necessary or something..
    That's what one of the options in the iPhoto rebuild did. Create a new library, add a few photos and see if all is well. If so log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto there.
    If iPhoto works OK in the other user account and in the new library your library is damaged and the repairs are not working. If iPhoto doesn't work in the other account nor the new library a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to first delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder, reinstall iPhoto from the disk it came on and reapply the latest updaters.
    If iPhoto works in the other user account but not in the new library then there may be another preference files in your account that could be the culprit. Here's how to check that out:
    Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard/Snow Leopard
    1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
    2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
    3 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
    NOTE: you may have to drag the contents of the working folder to the trash and empty if moving the contents to the A folder only copies them instead of moving.
    4 - If the problem is fixed:
    A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
    B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
    C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button.
    Click to view full size
    5 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

  • When I open a pdf file, Firefox opens a blank window, then the file opens in a Adobe Reader window. How can I stop the blank window?

    Whether I am using Firefox 3.6.8 or Thunderbird 3.0.6, clicking on a pdf file opens a new window. After a few seconds the pdf file opens in a separate Adobe Reader window. When I am done with that and close it, I still have to go back and close out the blank window. Got to be a configuration issue some place. I have tried several settings under Tools/Options, but haven't found the right setting yet. Any suggestions?

    Thank you very much for the reply. I followed your instructions. This fixed half of the problem. Links to pdf files that are on web pages now come up with a box that asks if I want to open or save the file, without a blank browser window in the background. That is great.
    When I tested the fix with pdf file links in email, the problem still exists. I tested links in Outlook Express, Yahoo mail, and Gmail. Any time I click on a pdf link in an email, a blank Firefox window opens and then I get the small window that asks me if I want to open or save the file. Sounds like this is a configuration issue, not a technical problem. Thanks for your help.

  • Javascript:showPrintPDF opens a blank window

    I use a courier site which opens a new window to view and print the labels for parcels, using "javascript:showPrintPDF". Firefox opens a blank window with no content.

    I'm not sure anyone can diagnose this for you without registering for the site, so here are some suggestions for self-help.
    Question: Did it work before and stop working recently? If so:
    (A)
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    (B)
    To rule out the possibility that an add-on is interfering, can you test in Firefox's Safe Mode?
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    If the window populates correctly, this points to an add-on or custom setting or perhaps a saved password as the problem. A few things to work through.
    If the site doesn't load correctly, we would have to consider other factors.
    Any luck?
