Ugly white box appears on load

In the second or two before my flash page appears with normal
preloader etc, the size of the flash element is always shown a s a
big white box over the surrounding black page...my background color
is set to black on both the flash and html page containing it and I
try to leave first frame clear of elements that would slow
load...is there an easy fix for this unsightly hiccup to my
intro?

Hi John,
Thanks again for the help. I've tried loading PRE in System Administrator and also in root and the issue does not persist. However, on a day-to-day basis I couldn't run it as Sys Admin or Root as I need to lock down Admin functions because the macs are used at a school.
I've also run Digital Rebellion's "Pro Maintenance Tools" with no luck.
The issue seems to be happening at random. Sometimes I'll do a restart and load PRE and it will be fine. Other times the issue will persist. In the console it's also flagging up lots of "Invalid Drawables", should that be a concern?
Thank you again.
Lawrence

White box appears while switching between two desktops

Hello all,
Since few weeks I have a problem when I switch between two Desktops. Everytime I switch between them a white box appears in the left corner of my screen (see screenshot).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Good day!
Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Mysterious white box appears when project published

Hi all
Another issue. When either either hit F4 to preview a project, or publish it to an .exe, a mysterious white box appears across a few of the slides.
I've hunted for the cause of this box everywhere. It doesn't appear when I preview the same slides using F3. There are no objects in the timelines of those slides that would explain it.
How do I get rid of this box appearing? It makes me want to remove this program from my computer altogether.

Hi Clifford
The path looks right. On my PC, with Desktop and Admin, my path settings for Discoverer look like this:
%DISCO10%\bin; (171 files and 0 folders)
%DISCO10%\jlib; (53 files and 1 folder)
%DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin\client; (2 files)
%DISCO10%\jre\1.4.2\bin; (62 files and 1 folder)
where %DISCO10% is c:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1
I can't see anything wrong with the path. This is very mystifying. I think you may have to speak with Oracle Support. Other than the Discoverer installation being corrupt with one or more files missing I can't think why you would be seeing a white console box. I'll keep researching and if I come upon anything I will let you know. To help I have listed alongside each of my locations the number of files and fodlers I have. If yours is different there is a possibility of a corruption.

Black (or White) Box appearing on photos sometimes when zooming in and out.

I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening: On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing. When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears.
However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK. It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card. Any suggestions?

Google updated the plugins recently to correct this problem:
https://support.google.com/nikcollection/answer/4400822?hl=en&ref_topic=3001406
Version 1.109 (December 11/2013) is the latest:
Fixed black or white tile artifacts that might have occurred after returning to Photoshop from plug-ins
You can find out the version you have installed by launching Photoshop:
On Mac: Select Photoshop>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)
On Windows: Select Help>About Plug-in>Analog Efex Pro… (or any other NIK Plug-in)

Photos sync, but arn't visible on my ipod touch, instead a white box appears, plz help.

Hello, my ipod touch does sync photos from my pc but they can not be seen, instead a white box appears, although photos under "saved photos" r still visible
plz help me.

Vinay,
Try removing all the photos from your iPod by disabling the option to Sync Photos from under your iPod's Photos tab in iTunes. Then Apply the changes to remove the photos. Then reapply that same option to sync them back over and see if that helps.

White Box appears for a second before loading (Preloader?)

Hello,
This is my second post in 2 days (sorry). I am working with
Flash MX. I am building a site and I have build a template of sorts
(menu layout & background image). I was originally going to try
to load external swf (which was yesterday's issue and now resolved)
but it didn't quite give me the effect I was looking to achieve.
So, I am now linking to each page using flash buttons. I drop
a .swf it's own HTML page (home, contact, etc.). I am not sure if
this is the best way to do it, but it has worked in the past.
However, I am getting a white box where the swf sits as I navigate
from page to page.
Is this because I need a preloader? I have the background
color in my .fla file set to black. If not, how do rid of the box?
Thanks.

Hey, I couldn't wait to try this out. I pasted your code in
and I am still having the issue. Maybe it's just the way I have set
this up. I like having individual swf on each page. Not sure where
to go from here. I really do appreciate all your help in sticking
with my issue. Sorry if I am misunderstanding things. As I learn, I
want my work to look professional.
Also, at what point do I use a preloader? Is it always
needed?

Both of the files (js and swf) appear to exist where your code has them. Does the html page live in the same folder as the swf?

I have a white box appear on desktop every time I click on the desktop. How can I remove it?

Can anyone help me remove this little white box that appear every time I click on the desktop?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Empty Movie Clip Shows White Box before Movie Loads

Hi all!

swfs. Everything works, but the client doesn't like the white box
created by the empty movie clip that appears before the external
swf loads. Does anybody know how to get rid of this? Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated!

A white box appears in the middle of screen and locks me out of Firefox

Every time I open Firefox this white box with a gray bar appears in the exact middle of the screen with no text. There is also a box that can be checked or unchecked. If I click on the gray bar or the question mark, nothing happens, and I cannot make it go away. I have attached a screen shot of it. Please note that when I did the screen shot, Firefox was open, and I could see the web page behind it, although only the box was captured in the screen shot. I am able to run Firefox in safe mode, and I already turned off the hardware acceleration, but that has not solved my problem. I have restarted my computer, but that also has not helped. I tried the "automatically add" button below to add the troubleshooting information, but it didn't work, probably because I am using IE right now. If I could use Firefox, I would not be posting this message. Obviously, the manual steps also failed.

I do like the toolbar, but as soon as I installed that new version, that pesky box popped up again! So, I have once again disabled it. I guess I'll just have to wait for future versions of Firefox and/or AOL toolbar to sort this all out. Thanks again for your help!

White boxes appear around drop shadows in PDF's

I'm exporting a file from InDesign CS3 that contains several graphics that have a drop shadow applied to them (added in InDesign NOT Illustrator). When I view the PDF, there are white boxes that appear behind the graphics with the drop shadows. I need to use the 'Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)' setting from the PDF export dialogue box.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes having drop shadows on images (imported) that have spot colors causes this. Converting them to process or RGB helps. I know that applies to imported graphics but it may apply to graphics created in InD sgn. Are your graphics set up in spot colors?

A white box appears and cannot be deleted on one specific email web page.

The box is opaque, relatively small but annoying, and blocks out anything behind it. It shows a small part of a preview of any highlighted email message. If there is no message in the inbox, the box is blank. The box cannot be removed but changes position and size as the parent window is enlarged or diminished.
The problem is unique to the "email" window (as opposed to, for example, a full screen view of my contacts). It appears in both of the email accounts I have set-up despite separate log-ins. It is unique to my iMac computer and Mozilla (3.6.11). It does not appear when logging in, using Mozilla on my wife's PC, or when I log in on the iMac using another browser (Safari).
Obviously I can work around the problem, but would love to solve it.

I tried all the above, with the following conditions: - I cleared the cache but the box that indicates any web sites that are saving data is and has been empty. - I removed all cookies - I re-started in Safe Mode and disabled all add-ons - I have always been operating in the default theme. There was no difference when the email page opened. I then trouble shot all the plugins although I did not repeat the above procedures before re-enabling each one-by-one. I discovered that in order to open the webmail page, the only plugin that must be enabled is Shockwave Flash 10.1.85.3 . In Safe Mode once again, with only that plug-in enabled, with the cache emptied, with the add-ons turned off, and with the cookies deleted, the email page will open but with the same white box that has been plaguing me. Thank you for the try, perhaps you have another idea?

Why am i getting a white box appearing at the top of my page, and the seeing firefox freeze?

Just installed Firefox to Mac OSX 10.7.5. FF opens ok, but within seconds, a small white box drops down from the top of the window, the "File/Edit/View/History etc" from the top of my screen disappears leaving only "FireFox" and my Apple logo in the top left corner, and FF remains frozen. I can quit it and restart, but it just keeps happening. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and it keeps happening. Any ideas?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
