Welcome panel leaves white box in Thunderbird GUI: how to fix?

After a reboot, I opened Thunderbird 13.4.0 on my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to find that the Welcome Panel disappears to leave a corresponding white area on Thunderbird. See the attached screenshots. Starting in safe mode fixes the problem. I deactivated all add-ons and did a normal T-bird start, but the Welcome panel and obscuring white area re-appear as before. I tried deactivating hardware acceleration, by going into config and changing both gfx.direct2d.disabled layers.acceleration.disabled to TRUE. Surprisingly, I only found the second of these entries, changing it to TRUE and restarting Thunderbird. To no avail, the welcome screen and its problem still occur. The white area obscures the GUI independent of whether Inbox, Drafts, or other items in the left-hand panel are activated. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Oops, screenshot upload failed. Here are the screen shots. By the way, if I open a mail in its own tab, there is no problem. But return to showing Inbox or Sent and the blank area is still there. I also unchecked the 'show Start Page' in Preferences > General. This removes the start page graphic, but the white area remains. I tried opening a new window, but the new window is also afflicted.
In View > Layout, I selected classic view, instead of wide view. The problem appears to be specific to wide view. Vertical view is also not affected. For my part, I'd be very happy just to use classic view, but then maybe the display under wide view should be fixed, or the option removed.

Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

HT203477 My clips don't appear. They appear as blue boxes. Any ideas how to fix this?

My clips don't appear. They appear as blue boxes.
I have to click through them to reveal them each time I need to do an edit... which slows up the process on a big edit right now.
Any ideas how to fix this?
With thanks,
Steve

I may have solved my own issue. I clicked on one of my clips (or you can click on all your clips for that matter) in the event browser, opened the inspector tab and clicked on the 'Info' tab, then the 'settings' drop down at the bottom of the inspector window. I then clicked on 'apply custom name' and then clicked 'original name from camera'.
So far all my thumbnails are visible and I've been working for 1hr since my last post with no thumbnails going BLUE on me. They are all still visible. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
Best Regards.

Itouch will not respond to single touch or scroll touch. I have to double touch the app that has a white box surrounding it. How do I change it back to single touch and scroll?

My son's touch is not resonding to a single touch nor repsonding to a scroll (i cannot go to the next page). there is now a white outlined box around a app that you have to double click on to do anything. How do I get rid of the box and go back to single touch and scroll?

Head to Settings -> General - > Accessibillity and make sure VoiceOver is turned off. You'll have to double tap each of these to proceed. You'll also need to use 3 fingers to scroll as well.

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

The "File Info..." box does not appear, how to fix?

I have sent this in on the bug fix form and thought id ask on here as well. Basically I am trying to find out the information for my document which I am in the middle of editing, though after clicking on file info within the file menu nothing appears. It wont let me exit indesign as it says there is a dialog box there, the only way i can "exit" this is by selecting enter on the keyboard before closing down indesign. I have tested this on a new document, tried making my screen scale smaller, checked the other desktops and I cannot find or see any file info dialog box when it is apparently in use. I am using an Apple MacBook Pro on operating system "Mavericks-10.9.5". I have done the same sequence of creating a document and selecting file info on photoshop as a test to see whether it crosses over all the software, though this isnt the case. Therefore I have tried to clear my workspace preferences and again to no avail. Can anyone figure this problem out?
Thanking you in advance
Nicole
P.S
This issue has been resolved after finding the below linked post. I reinstalled Indesign and it seems to work fine now, though if the error reoccurs I will add this to my thread. Also something that is worthy of noting is that I also use multiple screens, i vary between using the macbook's screen alone and that of the macbook plus a HD desktop monitor.
P.P.S
Further to using the guidance found in the below thread my illustrator CC has once again encountered this issue. I have been using multiple screens as usual and I am wondering if there is a simpler way to sort the issue out rather then re-installing the software?
Re: file info... window invisible

You need to burn the CD
using the "Rock Ridge" file extension. This creates
(or adds on to the CDFS, I'm not sure which) a Unix
file system which OBP can understand.No. RockRidge extensions only apply to ISO-9660 filesystems and they can only be applied if you're actually creating the filesystem in the first place. Installation CDs boot from a UFS filesystem that doesn't require RR. (Although they may have an additional hsfs filesystem).
If you have a .ISO file, then the filesystem is already constructed. You can't affect RR extensions at that point. Even simple little ISO burning scripts that don't have any understanding of UFS or RR should be able to construct the disk properly.
I have made it
to this point. I have systematically burned around 25
CDs (all made on Wintel -- an old Gateway PC running
WinXP Pro), taking notes on which configuration
settings were used to make each one, attempting to
install Solaris 10 for SPARC. I am at the point now
where OBP recognizes the CD (I no longer see the
"can't execute" error message), but it can't tell
which CD it is i.e. #1, #2, etc. So, I need to open
up the CD catalog once again, and try to determine in
which logical block the disk ID is located, and then
try to figure out where to enter that information in
my CD burning software (currently experimenting with
"Magic ISO".
Also, if you are atttempting to boot your SPARC
machine from the .iso disk #1, you will need to make
that CD bootable. Use your favorite search engine
with the terms "el torito" "bootable CD" and you will
discover a lot of information on this subject.The .ISO file contains the information for a bootable CD. There's nothing extra you have to do. You'd have to worry about that if you wanted to create a new CD and make it bootable, not if you just want to burn the Sun provided ISO images.
In addition, I'm pretty sure that El Torito is an x86/BIOS standard and doesn't apply to SPARC/OBP.

Leave Request Team Calendar and Small White Box

Hello Everyone,
I am attempting to adjust the team calendar colors in Leave Request using the method TEAM_CALE_ENRICHMENT of BADI CL_PT_ARQ_REQ. When I set the LegendID field of table CH_CALENDAR_TAB, I am getting a small white box in the Web Dynpro Team Calendar View. Does anyone know how to get the Team Calendar to not show this box and to correctly show the color? I noticed a post from a couple of years ago with this same topic, but no solution was entered.
https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=24695594&messageID=4366488
Also, I was successfuly in adjusting the colors of the calendar (not team calendar) using the method SET_CALENDAR_COLOR.
Any ideas on how to properly change colors in the Team Calendar?
Best Regards,
Scott

In the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SET_CALENDAR_COLOR you specify what
color do you want.This will be with respect to the Legend.
And in the method IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SET_CALENDAR_LEGEND_COLORS you
specify what color the legend specifies. This is set with respect to
RED,GREEN,BLUE. Combining this three basic colors the
rest of the color can be produced.
There are 16 colors. Please go through the class CL_PT_REQ_CONST.
For Eg: You want to display the Annual leave in the color with respect
to the legend C_COLOR_STANDARD. Then in the method
IF_EX_PT_ABS_REQ~SET_CALENDAR_LEGEND_COLORS you specify in the internal
table ch_legend_tab the exact color of
   ch_legend_tab-COLORRED = C_COLOR_STANDARD_R.
   ch_legend_tab-COLORBLUE = C_COLOR_STANDARD_G
   ch_legend_tab-COLORGREEN = C_COLOR_STANDARD_B
   ch_legend_tab-LEGENDID   = C_COLOR_STANDARD.

When i open .jpg picture in photoshop on MAC the the background thumbnail in the layers panel looks like a white box with the brush inside instead of picture thumbnail. how to fix it?

when i open .jpg picture in photoshop on MAC the the background thumbnail in the layers panel looks like a white box with the brush inside instead of picture thumbnail. how to fix it?

Very easy. That means you have a "no layer thumbnails" option selected.
Go into the Layers Panel menu at the upper right of the Panel, choose Panel Options and you will see Thumbnail sizes to choose from.
Select one, click OK.

How do I make a white box in my master page that's intelligent enough to resize on all my other pages depending on the amount of content?

I have a tiled background image but sometimes the white box only covers half the content and my tiled image is displayed under the other half of the content... Do I have to manually make the box for each page or is there a way to attach it to both the header and footer so it expands depending on how much content is on each page while retaining my background image in only the border areas?

Muse doesn't have that specific feature. However, in may cases the desired effect can be achieved by inverting how you think about it.
Using a 100% with rectangle with a fill image for your header and another for your footer, that leaves the page fill and/or background fill image to grow and shrink to fill he space between your header and footer. If you only want one column of your page design to have this effect, you may be able to achieve that using a vertically repeating background fill image for the page or browser fill (where the fill is a horizontal band the with color only where you want the vertical column to appear.

Eliminating 'the big white box ' 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

Try to set the flash window at "transparent, windowless" at

White box | ipad

hi,
i built up an animation using adobe edge and imported it to indesign (.aom).
on the ipad, theres a white box in the background of my animation. i really dont know what to do now, because in the indesign preview-window it seems to work.
already
- checked off 'transparent background' (folio overlays)
- using a transparent png as poster
- set stage alpha to 0 (edge)
im using
- indesign cs6
- latest version of adobe edge animate
- viewer v24/25
is this a known problem?
and is there any solution?
thx

Ok sorry for the delay in responding, we were doing investigation on our end. Getting transparency isn't easy at the moment, and we'll add a future work item to try and make it more straightforward. Until then:
If your background is a solid colour, draw a rectangle with the same colour as the background and put it on top of your placed .OAM file in InDesign.
If your background is more complicated than a solid colour, after placing the .OAM file use the "Send to Back" command to ensure the placed .OAM is behind your background content. Don't worry about the impact of this on the finished .folio: we'll still treat it as an overlay and put it over top of the background when rendering.
A few other tips when working with placed .OAM files:
Do not use a poster generated from Edge because their poster PNG does not contain transparency. Even if it did, it would still need to be disabled in InDesign.
The auto play setting in Edge is ignored in DPS. Autoplay has to be checked in the overlay panel.
"Use Transparent Background" also has to be checked in the overlay panel or the background will appear white.

Flash movie just has a white box when previewed

Working in Flash CS4
My question is when I publish my flash movie it opens fine on my computer but when I copy the folder with all the contents to another computer the skin show up fine but I get a white box where the movie should be. The same goes if we try to place it on a website. Files are available here to view

Hi,
I have taken a look at your .fla and seems your source file name is not matching with what is available(Bob_Dickson.f4v) & what is specified(Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v) in the Component Inspector panel. Either rename your movie from "Bob_Dickson.f4v" to "Bob Dickson InterviewH264.f4v" probably the easiest way or change the Source name for your flv playback component in Component Inspector panel to "Bob_Dickson.f4v" and re-publish the swf.
Hope this helps
Thanks!

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.

Thumbnails showing up as white boxes / squares.

I recently loaded up iPhoto and went through the library and deleted a whole bunch of photos - mostly poorly taken shots or things that I no longer want around. When I went back into iPhoto, all of those photos I delelted are now showing as white boxes and making iPhoto run exceedingly slow! I searched around on this forum and found a couple similar problems but nothing exactly on target. I tried rebuilding the library (started iPhoto with the command-option keys down) but that didn't work either.
Any other ideas?

Daniel:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. How did you go about deleting the files? From within iPhoto and then empty the iPhoto trash? Or did you delete them from the Finder? If it was from the Finder see if this will help:
How to recover those photos lost due to renaming or moving in the Finder
1 - make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder
2 - do a search of just the iPhoto library folder with the following criteria:
File name contains ".jpg" and File size is less than 1 KB.
That will find all of those zero sized files that were created when iPhoto couldn't fine the originals.
3 - move those zero sized image files to the trash.
4 - now delete those "bad" photos from the iPhoto library using the normal method. (you don't have to but if you don't they will be recovered every time you do a library rebuild with the "recover orphaned photos" option selected).
5 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and when the rebuild menu comes up select the last option, "Recover orphaned photos in the iPhoto Library folder"
This will recover those renamed files and put then in a new roll. The only downside is that their titles in iPhoto will be "Roll xx-1, etc. You can do a Get Info on them, find the actual file name and change the title so they are the same.
So it can be done with a little work.

Plagued by the white box

i'm trying to embed a flash game i've made onto a tumblr page, and when i first enter the code and update the page the game works, but as soon as i leave and come back or refresh the page it's the white box.
my swf file is hosted on google sites, and my embed code looks like this:
<embed align="middle" allowscriptaccess="always" height="800" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="https://sites.google.com/site/diyinternetart/DIY%20internet%20art_finalforreal.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="1200" style="position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 125px"></embed>
would i need to host the file somewhere else? i've tried it with a couple different swf hosting sites but either the site won't let me embed the file or it will end up like this^
or is it a problem with the code?
i'm using tumblr because i can freely edit the page's entire code without paying for a premium membership
also i used stencyl to make the game because i don't actually have flash

Change your ... src="https://sites.google.com/site/diyinternetart/DIY%20internet%20art_finalforreal.swf" type="application/x-...
to ... src="http://sites.google.com/site/diyinternetart/DIY%20internet%20art_finalforreal.swf" type="application/x-...
That will get the linked swf to show up.
