Why are things disappearing from the screen?

Hi, I've been having a weird issue where things will randomly disappear from the screen. Sometimes it's a giant rectangular shaped hunk of content right in the middle of an application, particularly Safari and Adobe Illustrator- other times individual interface items simply disappear. In Illustrator zooming in and out usually brings it back. In Safari sometimes reloading the page helps, but not always, and sometimes it continues to show content from another tab or from previously visited pages in the area where content is missing.  In the attached screen shot of the Photoshop interface all of the control handles and labels on the contextual tool bar have disappeared. If I can reproduce the problem in Safari or Illustrator I'll upload a screenshot of that too.
This happens regardless of which monitor the app is on, and regardless of whether another display is connected or not.
Normal:
W/ Weirdness
Anybody had something like this happen before? Any info would be appreciated.
I'm going to try wiping and going back to Mountain Lion because of this and another on-going issue with wifi that has yet to be resolved
MacBook Pro
Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013
Processor  2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software  OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)

ok, so I didn't go back to mountain lion. I couldn't seem to locate the time machine backup for it and Apple won't let me roll back through their systems. So I'm back on a fresh install of Mavericks and the issue seems to be continuing, at least in Safari. I tried to get a screenshot but let go too early and as soon as it took the screen shot the missing block of content returned to normal.

  • I have noticed recently that deleted e mail messages do not disappear from the screen.  Instead they turn grey until I switch to another mailbox.  When I return, they are gone.  Any idea why this has started to happen?

  • Anyone know why uploads contacts disappear from the iPhone 5? Half of my number is suddenly gone, and this happens over and over again? Kata-*******-stroff! Grateful for answers?

    do you sync your contacts with an application in your computer? or use iCloud?
    I can't tell you why the contacts disappear but you can get them back without much hassle by syncing through iTunes with your computer.
    do you regularly make backups?  if so, you can restore your iPhone using the backups and get your contacts back in your iPhone.
    It is strange that half of your contacts are gone over and over again.  Do you have Groups that are unchecked in your iPhone?  If so, the contacts in those groups will not appear in your contacts list but they are in your iPhone and be recovered by re-checking the group name.

  • The Bold, Italic, Underline functions have disappeared from the screen as have the check boxes at the beginning of the intro line

    The bold, italic, underline, color hi-lite and other boxes in that line suddenly disappeared from the screen and that section remains blank. However when writing a new message if I mouse over the area the boxes re-appear but without their previous alliterations. Also the system does not allow me to color hi-lite text and shows all the colors in a very fuzzy format when I mouse over where the hi-lite box used to be. Additionally the check box at the front of the email subject line has also disappeared but, again, if I mouse over & click it will perform a delete or other function. Need help!

    Hi ITBobbyP,
    According to your description, there are two text boxes at the bottom of the tablix and both of them are outside the tablix. When you export the report to excel, the upper text box could not be displayed.
    Microsoft Excel places limitations on exported reports due to the capabilities of Excel and its file formats. The following limitations apply to text boxes and text:
    Text box values that are expressions are not converted to Excel formulas.
    Text boxes are rendered within one Excel cell.
    The text effect "Overline" is not supported in Excel.
    Excel adds a default padding of approximately 3.75 points to the left and right sides of cells. If a text box’s padding settings are less than 3.75 points and is just barely wide enough to accommodate the text, the text may wrap in Excel.
    To troubleshoot the problem, please make sure that the text box meet the limitations. In addition, please validate that visibility of the text box is set to true, it’s better to set CanGrow property of text box to false.
    If the problem remain unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed information about the report, I would be appreciated it if you could provide sample data and screenshot of the report. It will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
    Thanks,

  • Windpad 110W : keyboard disappear from the screen

    I bought a new computer which is Msi Windpad 110W
    And I format the hard disk which was included windows 7 Home premium 64 bit
    and I installed windows 7 starter 32 bit
    but I am facing a problem after the format which is disappearing the key board from the screen
    So, I need your help about this problem
    thank you.

    You mean no on-screen keyboard?
    And yes, why Windows 7 Starter? It is a very crippled version of Windows, probably doesn't include the needed accessibilty features to provide the on-screen keyboard.
    I should just reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, if that's what yours came with.

  • Why are Albums missing from the Albums "tab" in Photos app?

    I just upgraded to the new version of OS X with the new Photos app.  All of my photos transferred over to the new app correctly, but not all of my Albums are showing up in the new Albums "tab" in the Photos app. 
    For instance, my "Honeymoon" album does not show up on the Albums "tab," but when I search for in the Photos app it will appear. 
    How do I get all of my Albums to show up on this tab?
    Additionally, does anyone know how to change the "timestamp" on photos?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Terence,
    I appreciate the reply, but that did not solve my issue.  Several of my albums are still "missing" from the list, even though I can find them when I search:

  • Why does Lightroom disappear from the Creative Cloud manager?

    Today may be a special case.  Now I have "Photoshop CS6", "Photoshop CC", and "Photoshop CC (2014)" on my list of apps.  But Lightroom appears on the list of "try/install" as "try", even though I am paying for the Photoshop/Lightroom combination.
    In weeks past, Lightroom would disappear from the installed list, and would not be anywhere on the list.  I would have to quit the CC manager and restart it to have it rediscover my apps.  No other application ever does this, just Lightroom.

  • Why are icons disappearing from my dock even tho I can still use the location to open the app

    How do I keep icons from disappearing from my dock - even tho I can click on the emptied location and open the "ghost" application?

    That sounds off. I would right click on the icon/space in the dock and click options>remove from dock. Then drag the application from the apps folder in finder to the dock again and see if it stays.

  • I have had to "re-instate" "Mail" on my 5yr old Macbook Pro after it got "lost"during an s/w upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6.8. In reinstated version all my Email archive folders are now missing from the screen. How/where do I find them ??

    I recently purchased Snow Leopard v10.6.3 in order to upgrade the OSX platform on my 5 year old Macbook Pro. That loaded without trouble. Then I needed to do an online upgrade from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 (via 10.6.4) and there the trouble commenced !! Somewhere along the way, the "Mail" application simply disappeared! On advice from Apple telephone support, I did a "selective" reinstall of "Mail" from the Snow Leopard disk, but the version of Mail it loaded (v4.5) was wrong for use with OSX v10.6.8 and so it kept asking for the 'latest" version (v4.6) and just would not work. I tried a "Fix" download provided on the Apple site, that didn't work.
    I spent 2 hours at the Genius Bar of my local Apple Store and they finally found a fix, after some difficulty. Apparently there had been a programming error somewhere in one of the Apple update downloads.
    So now I have "Mail" back - but the Mailbox folders now not as they were before - particularly they do not contain my archive Folders that I had been using to store certain historic emails.
    I think the folder structure on "Mail" is now identical to that on my "BT Yahoo" screen - whereas before they had been different. My local Apple Store told me that it was practice now to synchronise the "Mail" screen and (for example) the BT Yahoo screen to be identical. This is well and good going forward - but does not help me with access to my historic "email filing system" !!
    Anyone help me find those missing folders ??  They must be stored somewhere, but where ??!!
    Cheers

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Why are contacts disappearing from iCloud?

    I was using a friend's computer to send an email and logged onto icloud.com.  I was typing an email to a contact who I knew was in my address book, but for some reason the to field in mail wasn't able to find that contact.  I then went to the address book on icloud and again could not find the contact there.  I had my phone handy, so I went on my iPhone and I could see plain as day that that I had that contact on my phone.  And then after I accessed that contact on my phone, it magically appeared in icloud.
    Wierd right??  but the wierdest thing of all is that contact had been in my phone for at least a month and it was also in my computer address book, so what is going on??
    It seems like there is something really wrong with the syncing mechanism and I wonder if I did not have my iPhone handy would I have been able to find that address??
    Anybody else with the same problems??  Any solutions??
    Thanks

    I get the exact same behavior. It is maddening. I find if I use the "sources" function, it happens more. I ended up wresting with it via the album view and it seemed better, but much less convenient. I've had this occur on the iPod app on my iPad, as well as on my iPod touch. Editting playlists is very flaky.
    In addition to seeing this, I just had the playlist that I spent a good 30 minutes making, working with the disappearing bug, itself disappear after two days. The whole playlist vanished.

  • Why are songs separated from the album on my phone but on the album on my laptop?

    I bought two singles off of the new Eminem album before it came out, so I had to change all the info and all that so they'd show up on the same album when it came out. But when I try to transfer it to my iPhone the two songs still come up as singles and not apart of the album.

    Turn on airdrop on both devices and transfer photos that way.
    If the photos are in photostream on one device they should appear on all devices using the same iCloud account. It might take a little while for them to copy over though.
