Upgraded iPhone to install iCloud, now icons are blank white boxes

I have been a MobileMe user for 4 years. Since Apple will no longer support MobileMe, I decided to join iCloud. I upgraded my Mac to Lion, no problem. But when I went to upgrade my phone's ios, a dozen of my app icons went blank white. The titles are still there; the apps appear to be working, but the screeen sure looks strange with all these white squares. How can I restore the icon pictorial?

Start with a simple Reset:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
A new sync with iTunes might also be a good idea.

My itouch icons are all white boxes any fix?

My itouch icons for apps are just gray boxes has this happened to anyone? And how did you fix?

Try a safeboot: hold left shift and power up, continue to hold shift until you see the progress bar then release. This will take longer than a normal boot. Shut down and reboot normally, This worked for me when I had a similar issue,

How can I syncronize my iPhone and install iCloud desktop with this Vista OS

Hi, my laptop is running on Windows VISTA. Is there anyway I can syncronize my iPhone and install iCloud desktop with this OS or anything to maximize use of my iPhone and PC together.

None of the Canadian carriers offer unlocking, and ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to could unlock it, so you're stuck with Fido.
And is there anyway to install themes to my phone without jailbreaking it
No.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

After rearranging icons on Springboard, some icons are blank

I moved several apps to different locations or pages. When I turned on the phone this morning, most of the app icons are blank. I resynced with iTunes but now both iTunes and the iPhone are showing blank icons. How do I get the icons back?

I unchecked all additional apps on the iPhone from the iTunes app tab and then resynced to remove the apps from the device. I then checked the apps again and resynced. The icons were no longer blank on the iPhone Springboard but were no longer arranged on the pages I had moved them to. I'll live with this solution until someone else posts a reply.

InDesign Icons are Blank in MacOs10.10.3

On my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2009--2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
I have uninstalled CS6 and CC14, reinstalled CC14 and still all my InDesign file icons are blank. I can use Get Info and past the icon from a file that still has one, but nothing else has worked. The InDesign install is from a package and initially it did sync with the admin account (not mine) and I think that is when the problem started. On the uninstall, I checked uninstall preferences and On the second install, I made sure Sync Settings is turned off. Anything I can do?

What do you mean with the install is from a package?
Did you install it from the original installer, which is the only way to install any Adobe Program or do you mean with package some kind from migration?

Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

Boot from the installer disk and start again, you did backup before you started this, right?

Try a reset Carole ...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

My app icons are blank

My app icons appear as white boxes with the app names underneath it. What can I do to fix this?

Try a hard reset first. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If that doesn't work, unsync and resync the apps from your iPod via iTunes.

My OWN personal contact picture/icon appears blank/white in Contacts/Mail!

My own personal contact picture/icon appears blank/white in Contacts/Mail!
This is very frustrating since I work very hard to keep up my contacts all up to date. Everyone seems to work fine, except for my own picture! Why???
I took various advice such as:
Try deleting the photo on each of your devices, once you are sure your photo is not attached to your card on any of your devices, re-add it on your Mac.
You might also check, if you have a user account on more than one Mac, that the picture used in system preferences >users & groups do not contradict each other.
Alas, nothing works. I chose my new picture in "System Preferences" but it appears blank in Contacts and in Mail. I kept my icon picture in my iPhone 4 clear and nothing yet has appeared their either.
I think that the most frustrating part about all of this is that the minute I try to Edit my own picture in Contacts, I add the same picture that in my System Preferences (Users & Groups) and as soon as I press "done", the picture dissapears and becomes blank/white again. To add insult to injury, if I go back to edit my picture in Contacts and choose "recent", there's a blank (white) icon that appears as the latest utilised picture. I'm not 100% sure what that white image is, but I'm sure it has to do with iCloud somehow.
Please help me, I would actually love to have an icon picture (Like all my other contacts!)

Some of the apps previously downloaded have now become blank - white box instead of picture. Name of app still appears. Have tried hard reboot and sync to make sure everything is up to date. Anybody ever had this? How can I fix?

One more thing to try. Double click on the home button. Scroll in that bottom line of icons (swipe finger to left) to the app that are all white. Hold your finger on the app until the - sign appears. Tap it to close the app. Hopefully it will then show up correctly. (As they say about chicken soup curing a cold, "can't hurt")

Creative Cloud App just showing blank white box! Cannot install Photoshop

I'm trying to install a Photoshop trial - have followed instructions to install the CC app. The icon appears on my desktop and a Creative Cloud folder appears in my Explorer folder but when I click on the CC app, all I see is a white box.
Occasionally, I have managed to get list of apps to show - but when I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, again it goes to a blank white box. Can't do anything! No spinning icon showing that something is loading - just blank white.
Very frustrating. Just want to download the trial so I can decide if I want to buy. Am on Windows 8 (64 bit). Have tried uninstalling and re-installing using a different browser (Firefox & Chrome) but still same result.
Please help!!
Thank you,

Hi again Jeff - I just read on a similar thread that another user had the same issue with blank CC app and realised the problem was her username having an ampersand "&"
I have an ampersand also in my username on the computer - do you think this might be affecting the issue?
She gave instructions for changing the username (although the link is for Win 7 and I'm using Win 8) - but I'm nervous about changing big system things like that. What happens to "permissions" on certain folders - am I likely to be locked out of making changes in certain folders?
Here is what she wrote on that thread:
If you have ampersand (&) or other non-alphabet characters in windows user folder name (Example: C:\Users\Bob & Mary), then Flash Builder will fail to install (happened to me), Creative Cloud will display white screen, and/or other miscellaneous problems.
I confirmed this to be true and works:
1) I had blank Creative Cloud window as shown in the first post.
2) I renamed the display username and window user folder name by doing the instructions here:
http://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/28/how-to-change-a-windows-account-name-and-user-profile-fol der-name/
(Example: Change from "Bob & Mary" to "Bob n Mary" - without the quotes)
3) After logging back in my newly renamed account, I opened Creative Cloud and login interface shows up! :-)
I would prefer not to do this if you have another suggestion? But just thought I'd mention this as well to see what you thought.
I have also since tried uninstally CC, deleting both the OOBE folder and the AAMUpdater folder, then re-installing CC again... same result. I always get to the list of Apps fine but the minute I click on the "Try" button next to Photoshop, the whole App window goes to a blank white screen and freezes.
Thank you.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.
