White rectangle box

I have this problem, I think it happens when I got into full screen with quick time but i'm not sure, but this white box keeps apparring and I can't get rid of it till I restart. I can change spaces and it goes away till I change back, so something tells me it some kind of a window, because widgets stay on top of it (I have widgets pulled to the desktop so I can always see them) but all windows go under.
Heres a screen shot

Nayre,
I have that same problem sometimes. I have figured out the shape of mine is iTunes. The way I can make the box go away is to open iTunes again and close it right away. The box usually only appears when I have iTunes open for a long period of time.
Try figuring out what window is shaped like your box.

White Rectangle Box on Captured Videos

Has anyone suffered from the same problem? When I try to record a video clip from a video cassette (VCR) onto my computer, there is a "huge" rectangular white box covering the middle of the video clip on the playback. One of my friends who also has a MSI G4 card had the same problem. I've tried using a few different programs and a few different encodings, but none seem to fix the problem. Can anyone give me an advice? PLEASE!

Have placed video-when previewed there are sometimes heavy black lines around the image. If I place white rectangles in front, the black is hidden in Author, but when I preview the black lines are still there..How to use white rectangles to mask edges?

The Dreaded White Rectangle

Hi there all, id just like to point out that im new to all this so please dont baffle me with 1's and 0's or i'll be lost.
My basic problem is, when i record from my camcorder using any software, i get a white box through the middle of my recording.
I know one of you loverly people will know whats wrong.
Please help, or ill have to take it out on the wife.

TheDark, your an absolute diamond matey. I have been havin problems with this white rectangle crap for ages now, and was starting to feel a bit ripped off with my newly purchased GeForce4. I thought at the time, should i get a crappy 45 quid MX.....NO...ill pay the extra hundred and 20 and get a half decent one, after all, i need a good one to do my camcorder stuff. Then the world came tumbling down when i woke the next day to find that everything i had worked on, had the dreaded white rectangle. BUT......
.....TheDark has saved my unhairy ass. Thankyou sir/madam for giving me the ability to sleep tonight.
If any of you are wondering what TheDark's advice was, he/she suggested that i go here....

Is using 4 white rectangles really the best way to crop something in Ai?

I'm sure someone here has used this technique before.
(And in InDesign as well)...
You are drawing a new image and there is extra color or
drawn detail that extends past the border(s)... but because Ai does not
have a "crop" tool for the document "canvas" or the vector frames themselves, you draw four opaque white (same color as the document white) rectangles and move them onto each side of the image (up to it's border).
Then, you fuse or flatten those four rectangles somehow.
My questions are:
1) If this the proper technique, is Pathfinder the right tool?
2) If it is not the proper technique for cropping, what is? Is there a way similar to how Ps crops? It seems that the crop tool in Ai is geared towards the printing process only.

I find that using a clipping mask for a drawing (making a mask on the top layer then masking everything) moves everything to the top layer, which is not useful for art that may get edited further later. Clipping just the objects that extend past the border, on its layer (Kurt and Ray) is something I hadn't thought of; it would preserve most of your art on the desired layers.
I tend to use white boxes on the edges of my maps if the art doesn't extend too far beyond the borders. But clipping masks do make a neater graphic (the 0,0 of the art pops up right at the edge of the InDesign/Quark picture box, which designers appreciate). FreeHand generally remembers layers for objects once you unmask them, so I mask more in FreeHand than AI.
On a related point - when I bring in old FreeHand art to Illustrator CS4, type on paths gets positioned badly. Usually the handles on the baseline just get shifted so one word disappears, but recently I've been finding the left and right handles are stacked right on top of each other. It's necessary (once I get the handles to APPEAR) to select the TOP of the handle to shift the pair of handles to the right, then I can grab at the BOTTOM of the pair of handles to slide the left-hand handle so the type appears and I can position it.
The problem I run into is that certain of these steps require the white cursor, and certain steps require the black cursor, and there's no way to use the black cursor on a MASKED drawing without selecting all of it (whereas in FreeHand you can switch cursors on a subselected object in a group or mask, and edit its handles, move the type along the baseline, etc). So several times the only way to grab the offending type is to unmask the art, adjust the text, then re-mask. I may be doing something wrong, however it's quite possible it's just another Adobeism I'm going to have to work around.

White rectangles instead of transparency

Hello all,
I am a beginnger in InDesign - what a great tool!
I get white rectangles instead of transparency when exported as (any version of) PDF or printed, but fine when exported as JPEG. I am using a 3rd party template
Using InDesign 6.0
Thank you,
Blackbird

Hello Peter, thank you for rapid reply.
I am having white box effect. It is around the imported .ai files (which do not scale properly as well - another problem). See screenshot (ignore the font mismatch):
http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8122/screenshotfrom201209041.png
I assume it can be fixed as the third party company who provided this template were able to export it smoothly to a PDF (see image above, rightmost screenshot)
I tried remedies from the link you gave, no change/luck:
* Overprint preview (not available in Acrobat Reader 10 anymore)
* Simulate overprint (and print it to PDF via CutePDF Writer) - same white boxes
* Transparency flattener set to all-raster - same white boxes
I have "Coated FOGRA27" CMYK profile, instead of the workspace's default "US Web Coated SWOP v2", I set Id CS6.0 to "Preserve Embedded Profiles" - still white boxes
Hope you can help, before I finally attempt to contact the 3rd party company (they are not overly helpful/available as you are)
Thank you,
Blackbird

Lookup expression is not working when I am using with in the rectangle box in SSRS

I have two datasets with common member is ProgramID.
I have followed the below steps,
1. Added one table (2x2) and mapped this table to dataset1. After that I have removed top row.
That means I am maintaing only data row.
2. Added group to the table (ProgramID). Now the programid is sitting at cell#(1,1) and cell#(1,2) is blank
3. I have verified the report with preview and able to see the data for my all programs. I have 5 programs
4. my plan is adding chart and matrix reports to cell# (1,2). If I am adding chart/matrix to the cell#(1,2) then we can't contol the cell alignments in terms of height x width.
To resolve that problem, I have added one rectangle control to the cell#(1,2) then I have added my chart and matrix report
5. After completing the report, I have verified with preview and able to see the reports (chart/matrix) for all my 5 programs by page wise (note: I have provided page break before for my rectangle)
6. Till this point, I have no issues
7. Now, I have added one more row under the group. so, we have our main table (2x2). Becuase of programId group we can only see 3 cells in total table (cell# (1,1) =ProgramId cell#(1,2)=chart and matix reports under rectangle box; cell#(2,1)=already
merged with ProgramID group; cell#(2,2)= planned to add one more rectanlge and add two reports (chart and matrix)
8. Now, i have added rectangle to cell#(2,2) then added chart and matrix reports within the rectangle.
9. cell#(2,2) reports are needs to extract the data from dataset-2. Here we have common member is ProgramID (ds-1,ds-2)
10. First I have tested for matrix report by adding lookup expression
      Matrix report (2x2)
     row-1: Cell(1,1)= Gender report heading ; cell(1,2)=Month (column group)
     Note: month is also common member in both the datasets.
     row-2: cell(2,1)-- =Lookup(Programid.value, Programid.value,Gender.value,"Dataset2") (Gender data is Male and Female)
                Cell(2,2) -- empty for now
11. I have tried to preview the report and able to see the report without any issues and below are observations
        main Table (2 x2)
         Cell# (1,1) = ProgramID --Returning all 5 programs properly
         Cell# (1,2) = Dataset1 related report (chart and matrix reports under rectangle) -- able to see without any issues
         Cell#(2,1) = We already know this is merged cell. i.e menas ProgramID dispalying
          Cell#(2,2)= Only Male record is dispalying in the matrix report which is under rectanlge (here we have applied Lookup expression.
Note: male is the first record from the database and Female is the second record
Also, observed that Cell#(2,2) matrix report is unable to display the gender count information when I have provided count value expression in the cell(2,2) within the matrix and the expression I have uses is
= sum(Lookup(ProgramId.value,ProgramId.value,GenderCOunt.value,"Dataset2"))
Please ask me if I am unable to explain or lengthy explain.
Point : Why the lookup expression is giving the first record only (in case of gender #(male, female) and why it is unable to give the gendercount. Gendercount cell is totally blank.
Please help me.
Kishore.

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

White rectangle in placed PDF

Hi all,
When I view this PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.3.0 (Windows), I see no problem. When I open the PDF in Photoshop, a white rectangle next to the white square at the bottom left corner appears. Anyone familiar with this phenomenon? Any idea what's wrong here (problem in the PDF itself or problem in Photoshop trying to to open the PDF correctly)? The problem does not only occur when you use the "Open" command, but also when you "Place" the PDF in Photoshop.
Thanks in advance.

White rectangle on screen

Just showed up today. Near teh middle of the screen an odd small rectangle in on teh screen, regardless of what window is open it is always on top and has a small black shadow on screen. whats the deal?

Hello Tempelaffe,
It sounds like you get this whit rectangle in the screen shot out of nowhere, but it goes away when you restart the computer. I would start by performing a Safe Boot, and then resetting your PRAM in that order. Due to the nature of the issue, try it out for a while to see how it goes.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
And:
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

White rectangle appears on exported Gif Rollover

Hi, I'm on FW CS3 and DW CS3 (Using Intel iMac). I'm
exporting a simple Gif rectangular rollover from FW into
Dreamweaver. While I'm not a web expert, I've done plenty of
rollover navigation graphics in Fireworks. The browser preview of
the rollover looks good in FW, but when I export it to Dreamweaver,
it technically works but I get a white rectangle at the bottom of
the graphic when I rollover with the mouse - a white triangle which
I do not want to be there.
I've tried various differences in positioning my slice in FW
and I've tried Dreamweaver Html and switching to Generic Html in
case that made any difference. Neither change helped.
At the risk of cyber-embarrassment, I've published my graphic
(It's a rollover to start an email) to this url:
Frank Bright Contact
Page
I appreciate any help on solving this; it could be something
basic which I've overlooked.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

Well, this is a bit awkward. I had a Private Message from
Frank asking for a clarification, but when I reply I get an error.
So, Frank, if you're reading...
HI!
What I've done is this:
Take your Fireworks image, where you have the rounded
rectangle vector object (and text and whatever else on your
background color) and export (Image>Preview, not Save) that to a
PNG 24, but save it with a different file name or in a different
folder.
Hmm...I've JUST realized there's a slightly easier way!
Okay...open this flattened image. Go to Modify>Canvas>Canvas
Color and set that to transparent.
Select the magic wand selection tool. In the Properties
palette, set the tolerance to 0. Click in one of the corners, then
press your Delete key. That portion of your image will become
transparent. Do the same for the other corners.
Now export to GIF format and make sure to select Alpha
Transparency so that your corners come out, well, transparent.
If this doesn't work for you, bump your thread:

White rectangle when composing email

Sometimes, when the iPhone is in landscape mode, the mail app shows a white rectangle to the right of the screen. It looks like the space that would be occupied by the virtual keyboard if the phone was in portrait orientation. Text typed into the message is entered correctly, but not seen because it is clipped by this white rectangle.
This has been hard to reproduce, so I was wondering if anyone else experienced this.
Thanks for any replies,
++aldo

I eventually got Rich Text Editor to work; however it loaded VERY slowly-like almost one minute to load.
I stopped using Roadrunner mail in general because of a number of other issues that made it very cumbersome to use. I went to Yahoo mail and have not had any issues.
