What causes a blank screen instead of the log in screen
What would cause a blank screen when turning on desktop?
On the about:newtab page in the upper right hand corner, is there an option to change the blank page to Classic or another option?
Does this happen in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

I cannot see my MacBook Air screen on the Thunderbolt display. All it shows is a screen saver. How can I get simultaneous screens to show on the Thunderbolt?
I think changing the symbols from movieclips to graphics helped, thank you.

My Mac book air wont start up.it is freezing up right before the log on screen. It shut down properly. I cant figure out what could of caused this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Justin,
Are you getting to the Login screen? Or is freezing up on a blue screen? Are you still at the gray screen? Run any updates recently?
You can try Safe Boot/Mode and see if that does anything - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
The next step would be to try and verify/repair Disk Permissions, but you'll need access to another computer for DVD/CD sharing or an external DVD drive. -
How can I get a pdf. to open in Safari, all i'm getting is a new window with a black, blank page, instead of the pdf., and I don't want to save the file to the desktop, Safari didn't use to do that, and I don't have Adobe in the internet plug in folder.

Ron...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.

purchasing a movie from apple tv has stopped working. I click on "movies" and it takes me back to the same screen instead of the movies available. I have updated software, unplugged the modem & apple tv box, & the tv; Netflix still works!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore). -
When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!
The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen
I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11. -

Quicktime Plugin (Mac) yields a blank page instead of the embedded player.
When clicking on a link to an MP3 file, my app settings used to invoke the QuickTime Plug-in in Firefox 5 (Mac). Now, when I click on a link to an MP3 file, I see a blank page instead of the QuickTime Plug-in Player. The plugin seems to work in Safari (no surprise there, it is Apple QuickTime in Apple's Safari after all).
This is driving me nuts. It was working fine in Firefox 4.Right click on the document and select Open with-Adobe Acrobat. Or right click on the document and select get info, go to the open with drop down menu and select Acrobat. If you want all documents of that type to open with Acrobat check the box.

Macbook Pro unable to get pass the Log in Screen.
Hey hope someone can help.
Okay so last night I was using Windows, I shut down, then a few hours later I switched it on to go onto my Mac, but it took forever, I left it though and eventually I got to the log in screen, I entered my password and it was loading then the screen went blue/gray (not sure I think both) and went back into the log in screen again... I did this numerous times before giving up and shutting down. Went to sleep, woke up and resumed this...so I decided to see if I could log into my windows, which it did just fine, I'm on windows typing this right now.
I have run the apple hardware test, extended too, and I have recieved the error code: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th2H-63.000 (No idea what that is)
I have also tried booting from my start up disk that came with my Mac. It gives me the Apple logo on the gray screen then ejects my disc, gives me this long story... kind of goes: panic (cpu 0 caller 0x00431da3):"unable to blah blah... Tells me to restart or shutdown.
I looked at my disc and I think its cracked, So I have to get that replaced.
I think I have to archive and install, I really don't want to lose my music, as I haven't backed it up. 400 songs or so nothing much, I'm not worried about the other stuff as that is all backed up.
Long story short can someone tell me what's going on with my Mac? why am I still able to use windows fine? Has windows done a hit on Mac OS? lol. Is the solution to replace my install disc at Apple? I really don't know, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks, I'm just too tired and can't Google anymore :P
(I have a small partion of 32GB dedicated to Windows Vista.)"I have run the apple hardware test, extended too, and I have recieved the error code: 4SNS/1/40000000:Th2H-63.000 (No idea what that is)"
Neither do I. Suggest that you take your MBP to an Apple Store or an AASP.
"Is the solution to replace my install disc at Apple?"
Yes. You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support for a nominal S&H fee. *You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.*
Since you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

I just installed Mountain Lion. I'm having an issue on the log in screen.
Hello,
I just installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 on my iMac. We have four user accouts on the computer and when you first wake the computer where you would normally choose an account and log in the screen is white. When you move the mouse around it leave a little trail of the log in screen until you find your acct and click on it and then it allows you to log in. Its never done that before, at least until I upgraded. This computer was bought right before Lion came out and I didn't upgrade it right away because I wanted to wait and see how everyone else liked it. I finally upgraded last week and aside from this issue it works great and I love the features but it is really annoying. What should I do? Has anyone else had the problem? I upgraded my Macbook and it hasn't had any problems but I only have one acct on it since my wife and kids don't use it. Thanks for the help in advance.Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Hello, I have been having bsod's that occur on start up at the log in screen.
Hello. Like the title says, I have been getting bsod's at start up right around the time the computer gets to the log in screen. It does not do it every time but it has happened a few times now and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure this out.
I have seen on other parts of this site that people are sometimes willing to examine the dmp files that are associated with the bsod. If anyone would like to help me out with that I would be very thankful.Greg
