White square in safari

Intermittently I get a small white square (maybe 1/8th to 1/16th inch wide) in the upper third of the display. I close/restart Safari and it goes away. Google this, searched on the forum and didn't find anything, so thought I would post to see if anyone else experiences this artifact. Running all the latest software (Yosemite and Safari)

On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches long and I cant seem to get rid of them. Is my computer dying or being hacked

On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them. Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing.
What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.
Ciao.

White Square in the menu bar (Not a hardware issue)

Hi there,
I have a Macbook Pro 13" with Retina display (late 2012), and I recently updated Mac OS to Yosemite.
After updating, I have noticed that there is a white square in my menu bar and I do not know how to fix it, I can tell that it isn't a dead pixel as I can zoom into it and it will not remain in the same place, it will zoom in normally as if it is 'stuck' on the screen, I will add some screenshots to explain my issue:
As you can see here, there is a white square in the menu bar near the centre of the screen at the top.
When I zoom in, it moves to suit, and if I place my cursor over the white square, then it disappears as if it is a layer below the cursor, below shows how it doesn't stay in the top of the screen when I zoom in:

Maybe NSPopover (Safari's 'Show downloads' uses one, for example)?

Can't see or send photos! I just see a white image, and when I send a photo, it just sends white squares

Since last update, when I open my photos, they change to white. I can see them on the grid, but if I try to open them, they change to white. If I try to send a photo, it just sends white squares.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

White Squares instead of Application Icons in Switch Applications

My "Switch Applications" (Command-Tab) has started sporadically showing a white square instead of one of the icons for the applications I have open. I can still click through to them, but it is a little disconcerting.
No particular application seems to be involved more than the others - Firefox, Finder, iTunes, and a Cisco AnyConnect VPN Client have all done this at one time or another today.
This may be related with the other problem that arose today: some application sub-windows sometimes appear simply as white window. (I mention this here because it may be relevant, but this problem has a separate thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13094719#13094719)
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thank you.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Apps show a white square instead of the app picture?

My ipod touch shows some apps as a white square instead of the app picture. The app still works but I don't
know why it is diplaying this way.

Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

How can i get rid of a big white square on my google page?

i have a big white square with a cloured dot that circles all round on my google page on my ipad and cant get rid of it, what can i do?

Double click the home button then swipe the google app up to close it. If that doesn't work, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If that doesn't work try deleting and reinstalling app.

I have restored my new replacement iPhone 5s from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying i don't have any pictures, it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

I have restored my new replacement iPhone from my latest iCloud back up. However my camera roll pictures are not displaying. Its not saying I don't have any pictures in my camera roll, it has all the spaces for them, but it just shows empty white squares? How do I get my pictures back? Thanks!

It's difficult to say whether it's stuck or not as the time to restore a backup can depend on many factors. You'll have to decide when you think it's just not continuing. You could try turning the phone off (hold the power button until you see the red off slider, then slide to turn off), then back on to see if that would get it going again.
When you're convinced it's just hung, you can go back to settings and tap Stop Restoring iPhone to stop the restore. You'll then have to try restoring it again (Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup). Be sure it's connected to your charger and wifi while it's restoring the backup.
You might also try the approach posted here by ezjules: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19518589#19518589. This seems to have worked for some people who had trouble restoring their photos from an iCloud backup.

570 GTX lockup with white squares

Card: MSI 570 GTX (N570GTX M2D12D5/OC)
Driver: Nvidia 270.61
Bios updated to latest (KK1)
According to MSI Afterburner I am running the stock settings: 988mV core voltage, 786MHz Core/1572MHz Shader/2100MHz Memory.
I have never overclocked the card beyond the stock OC that the card comes with.
When playing the game Rift after about an hour, sometimes less little white squares show up all over both of my monitors and then within a few seconds the computer locks up.
MSI Kombustor seems to work ok, I haven't run it indefinitely but it makes it through the default benchmark. I tried another stress program called OCCT. I ran that for about 20 minutes with default shader complexity (0) and it produced 1 error and no crashes. I tried it again with shader complexity 4 (out of 8) and every minute or two it would signal an error then after about half an hour I got the same lockup with the white squares. So far I have only seen this lockup occur in Rift and with OCCT. I beat Portal 2 in single player and Coop and played several hours of Shogun 2 with no issues.
This is actually my second 570. My original one started producing artifacts constantly and games were completely unplayable. I RMA'ed it a week or two ago and now this card is presenting a different problem.
Rest of my computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
Intel Core i5 760 at stock (2.80GHz)
8GB DDR3 Ram
750 Watt Silverstone power supply
Any suggestions on what to try next? Is the card bad? I didn't see any references to this exact problem when I tried searching the MSI forums. Though I did run across another forum where someone was having the same problem. I don't think they found a solution though.
Snapped a picture of the frozen screen with white squares:

Good to hear
Maybe Svet can make you a custombios, so you can flash your cards bios, then you dont have to use Afterburner all the time.
Hope he reacts

The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it. So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows. I want to add my company's logotype as a watermark to a PDF document. When I add it as a file (jpeg), the logotype is printed on a white square background (because the jpeg is square with a white background of course). It will be positioned on the PDF document on a light, uniform yellowish color, which I want to show through. I want it to look as thought the logotype was stamped directly on the document. Thanks.

White square for .swf file in dreamweaver site

Hi
Apologies if this is a very basic question.
I have built a dreamweaver site and embedded a .swf file (a
slideshow of photos created in flash) into the page.
When I view the page online, the .swf file takes a few
seconds to load, and while it is loading I get a white square where
the slideshow should be (the dreamweaver and flash documents have a
black background).
Question - how do I either
a) get the white square to be black
b) get a loading bar to show that the flash video is loading
Many thanks

Thanks so much Tom - I now have a black background!
The only problem is that my .swf is taking ages (8-10sec) to
load and now its all the same it looks like nothing is happening!
I have looked at the preloader threads and customised a
preloader, but I can work out from the search results/threads what
to do with it.
How do i link the preloader into my .swf file. Do I need to
know actionscript (I dont!) to do this? (I have Studio 8)
The other gist I picked up from the threads is its better to
avoid the preloader all together. I'm creating a photography
website - hence big .swf - but do you have any hints for optimising
the .swf - the flash publish compression is all I've used so far
Many thanks

Black and white squares

Hello everyone,
I was on my mac browsing the internet and all of a sudden BIG black and white squares on my screen and this very loud noise so i had to force the computer to shutdown. can anyone please shed some light on this, is there something wrong with my mac its the first time its happened.

Yep. That's what they call "artifacts." In fact, it seems a textboox case of an overheating GPU:
"A common form of serious GPU artifact is a checkerboard pattern which covers the entire screen." (http://www.playtool.com/pages/artifacts/artifacts.html)
Do you hear the fan running? Try downloading an app like smcFanControl to speed up the fan. The noise you heard the first time could have been the fan going full speed OR the fan breaking --which in turn could have caused the logic board to overheat.
Placing the mini on a metal surface or on a laptop stand --preferably one with a fan-- may also help, at least for now.
Ideally, though, you should take the mini to the Genius Bar or an Apple certified technician.

How can I get rid of a small white square on the monitor of my apple desktop? Applications cover it, but no monitor display does.

I have seen this question asked before, but have not seen an answer that works. A small white square appears in the top left corner of the display. Open applications cover it, but not the monitor display.

Windows stuck in top left hand corner of screen

Why does the cursor have a white square beside it?

I use adobe professional to edit powerpoint slideshows that have been converted to pdfs. On certain slides some strange things happen. The cursor appears with a tiny white square to the right side of it, I cannot click on images, using the edit text and images function, and I can start a text box, but the text that I type is invisible. The application also often crashes on these slides (though I find Adobe Pro to crash ridiculously often anyway). I tried to take a screenshot but the cursor wouldn't show up.
I would like to figure out how to make these pages editable so that I can make notes on them.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Rebecca,
Can you please share the file with me so that I can have a look. You can email me at [email protected]
I tried converting a pptx file to pdf and when I try to edit I am unable to view any such square box.
What version of PowerPoint and Acrobat are you using? Have you tried updating Acrobat to the latest patch and checked?
Is the issue replicable on other files as well or specific to this file?
Regards,
Rave
