White Box on Start-Up..

After seemingly updating from 9.0.4 to 9.1 fine, upon restart, and where I get to the area where Finder is supposed to load, I get just a white box. It's reminiscent of the type of alert box that comes up when you're attempting to force quit an application in OS 9, but there's no text or buttons in it.
There's also the little "waiting" watch icon, but it doesn't appear to be spinning. The mouse moves around fine though.
The machine starts fine with Extensions off, but I don't know where to go from here. I even tried just doing an OS 9.1 Base configuration of extensions. Is it possible to perform a Firmware Update from safe mode? I just need to get this machine running OS X, and I have the firmware update on CD. However, the machine doesn't seem to notice that I have the CD put in the drive in Safe mode.
Help!
Brian

Hold down the Shift key as the last extension loads; if your issue is with the Finder, this may enable it to boot correctly. If not, create a new extension set with only the Apple CD/DVD Driver and Foreign File Access enabled, restart your computer again, and then copy the updater to your hard disk. Try running it from there.
eww: Brian is working on an iMac DV SE; this is the other computer listed in his system information further to the right, and can boot into Mac OS 9.04 and 9.1.

Slideshow won't start-Blank white box opens up

I have 4 separate image galleries on my website.
On all 4 pages, I can successfully open up the slideshow on both my Mac and my PC.
However, on only one of these 4 pages, my mother in law gets a white box that pops up instead of the slideshow when she clicks the button. The other 3 pages work correctly. She has a PC.
Any idea why this might be happening?

I think I found the problem of why I can't access your "Start Slideshow" button...
It looks like there is a textbox or another transparent shape on top of it. The textbox extends from the "Christmas with the Schiros" heading down to just below the level of the "Start Slideshow" button and the blue bar (maybe halfway between the blue bar and the start of the thumbnails). Maybe you can check inside iWeb for this object. I clicked just to the right of the "Start Slideshow" button to find it.
Still doesn't necessarily explain why your MIL is getting a blank white screen. Perhaps she doesn't have javascript turned on in her browser...but then the slideshow window shouldn't even open up.

White box before flash starts

Hi All,
I have done my homework but did not see a simple fix.
I have loaded a 3 sec FLV movie with a black background to my index.html page using Dreamweaver and set the movie to start automatically. The index.html page has a black background to match the background of the FLV movie. 1 sec or so before the logo plays you see a "very distracting" white box (blank screen) where the flash player opens (surrounded by black). Once it opens all is well.
I have searched the fourm and see similar questions but did not see an answer...
Thanks,
Randy

hi
Have you set your wmode to transparent?

Blue Screen at start up, then outline of a white box with ? inside appears.

My daughter is having a problem with her 13" Macbook. At start up, only a blank blue screen appears, then after a minute or so, a white box outline appears with a question mark inside it. Has anyone ever seen this?

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'llsee a panel asking you to choose your language. Just press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

How do I close the white box with a keyhole, gear, and lock that sometimes randomly pops up in the upper left of my screen?

Every now and then, a weird white box with a keyhole, gear, and lock pops up in the upper left of my screen. I can't seem to close it or move it, and when I try to use another application, it stays there and blocks features. The only way I've found to make it go away is by force closing Firefox.Why does it pop up and how do I close it? I'm on an iMac, Snow Leopard. Have the latest version of Firefox, 10.0.2.
Here's a screenshot of the box: http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6819/screenshot20120302at821.png

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox 13 only displays a white box instead of an image on certain websites

Firefox 13 is only displaying a white box where the picture should be. This is happening on different websites, but I will include a link to the latest one for me. Internet Explorer displays the image just fine:
http://www.bostonproper.com/product/Asymmetrical-hem-maxi-dress/836602/sc/169/c/169/pc/44.uts
You should see a large image of a woman in a red dress on the page, not a white box. I have tried clearing the cookies and cache, I have the settings to allow images from this website and nothing is working. The trouble seems to have started when I updated to Firefox 13.

I completed the steps in the article and disabled the Real Player plug in. That did the trick and Firefox 13 is now displaying the images correctly. I am wondering if these issues will be fixed in the future because I do use Real Player quite a bit. Thank you so much for the help!

White box in background on menu

I have a white box behind my photos in almost every theme. It wasn't there initially and now I can't get rid of it. You can't click on it and it's not in the drop zones. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Flash buttons appear as white boxes

Hi,
I'm importing learning interactions as swf files from Flash into a Captivate project. These learning interactions use button components for "reset" and "submit". If the learning interaction is NOT on the first slide of the project I get white boxes and no functionality where the buttons should be. The buttons then work on all learning interaction slides after the first one.
Help!

Hi,
One thing you haven't mentioned about changing background colors is your CellRenderer. That is the object that performs the drawing of your custom nodes. I would start with that and see what you can do. Maybe you can override setVisible in that class and change your renderer to just draw an empty rectangle using the background color instead of your custom component. You might need to do this because the paint might even be getting called because of the setVisible flag being false.
Regards,
Manfred.

Annoying white box on black background

My HTML page has a black
background.
My SWF menu has a black background
from the very first frame.
When the page loads, the area size of
the SWF is white over the background until the SWF starts
loading.
Is there any way around this? It would be nice if the web
visitor didn't see the white box. The animation would have a much
nicer effect.
I appreciate any help or suggestions! Thanks.

Reflection Themes have big white box in the background

Rookie iDVD user here, and haven't been able to solve this one.
Trying to use the 6.0 theme "Reflection Black" and it is sticking a big white square in the middle of the screen. It is behind the drop zones and I cannot figure out why it is there or how to get rid of it. It gets added to submenu screens as well. Sometimes if I start over it goes away temporarily but eventually jumps in there.
I am seeing other oddness when switching between other themes as well, but this white box is the one I'm chiefly concerned with. Anyone else seen this? Is there a clean way to trash the non-7.0 themes and then reinstall them? Thanks.
This is on Leopard btw.

Code? Page link? Can't help unless we see what's going on. It might just be that your container table/div has a white background assigned to it.

ITunes becomes a white box

For some reason, lately iTunes has become a white box at times. I don't know how better to describe it. It seems to happen when I am syncing with my iPhone. The entire iTunes window goes white, although I can still see the menus above (File, Edit, Controls, etc.). When this happens, I am unable to close the window using Cmd-w or minimize using Cmd-m. My only option is to quit and reopen, at which point iTunes opens normally. Any suggestions?

I have the same or similar issue, now that I've upgraded to iTunes 8 on my iMac G5.
Most recently I pulled up a movie from Finder, which launched iTunes, and it started playing fine. However, iTunes seemed to get confused at some point and changed the mode of play, it launched a full size window with the movie playing. I resized the window to make it smaller, in the background the iTunes application was replaced with whitespace. I could not get rid of the whitespace or make iTunes reappear. The movie continued to play fine. Eventually I quit iTunes.
Note: I upgraded QuickTime before installing iTunes 8.

White box? SWF shows as white box in Dreamweaver

The SWF starts animating, but a white box will show for a
second and motion starts on /home.
on /portfolio and its lower levels the buttons showup but the
graphics dont...
Im a noob, but I know the home page is only 48k, so I wouldnt
guess size is an issue...

FTP it and include dependent files. Make sure the Scripts

are on the server.

Flash Video - white box flashes, hide controls

Hi, I am working on a website for an artist
www.helmutnewtonladiesnight.com
when home.htm loads, a white box flashes (maybe
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf?) before the video starts playing. is
there a way to make this box black or invisible?
also, the artist doesn't want the controls to show at all. is
there a way to autoplay the video and hide the controls?
Thanks.

Of course, I meant to use #000000 in both of those sections.
The colors
