A have a white screen how to make a new installation of my computer
More details would help...what have you done to get to a white screen? Were you in the process of reinstalling Mac OS X? Or something else?
In general, to reinstall Mac OS X, restart the Mac and hold the Command and R keys. From the Utilities drop down select Install Mac OS X and the system will download the installer. You w I'll then follow the instructions to install.
By the way, you posted in the iMac PPC forum, this belongs in Yosemite from what you show on your info line, I will ask for relocation.

Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have tried almost everything and I still have a white screen that pops up
Reset to factory settings if that doesn't work, take it in to the Apple store.

How to make a new window in browser?
Don't know what OS you have so this info is for ICS.
To make a folder on screen, long press on one app and drag and drop it on top of another app. You will kinda see both apps there now and when you touch it a folder will open up and you can choose one of the apps. You will also now be given a chance to name the folder.
To open a new window in the chrome browser, tap on the menu button (the 3 verticle dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen) and click "new tab"
If you have a different OS, let us know and someone will post the answer to your questions. -
Restarted my MacBook Air, just have a white screen with apple . Will not start up
Restarted my MacBook Air, just have a white screen with apple . Will not start
What version MacBook Air do you have? Usually identified by the year you bought it, i.e. mid-year 2012, 2011, etc. Also, what OSX are you running? (please provide OSX ver number, i.e. 10.8.2 for latest Mountain Lion, etc.)
Not sure I can help you directly but for others to lend a hand, they'll need to know this information to make a sound suggestion. I see you're new to posting here so this will help you in the future.
Good luck. -
i have a white screen on my computers. I tried resetting it and it worked for a few minutes until it was put to sleep and then went back to white screen when i turned it back on. I tried resetting again and it did not work. I then did restore for itunes. it didn't work. was wondering if i did restore, as a new phone set up in itunes will i loose my contacts. just want to make sure before i try in the event i have to buy a new phone want to be able to have the information to transfer.
restoring as new does just that. It will wipe your phone clean just as if you just bought it.
If you've been using your iPhone as recommended, you've been synching your contacts to your computer to a contact manager such as Outlook or Address Book, or you've been synching your contacts with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google. Your contacts should be safe in one of those locations. -
Hi, I have an iMac which I just booted up and have a white screen with a blue folder with a question mark blinking on and off. Any help would be appreciated. Tommy
That means your iMac could not find a system to use for startup. That may mean the internal hard drive has become faulty, or the hard drive mechanism is fine, but the startup volume ("Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) may have some type of data corruption that makes it unbootable.
First, you should try resetting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and if that does not help, use this procedure to reset SMC (power management). If your iMac is from 2008, this is the procedure for Intel (not PowerPC) Macs.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
(This forum category is for "iMac (PPC)," so if this iMac is older (with a PowerPC processor), please post back.)
Disconnect all peripheral devices. When you connect it back to power, if you have been using a power strip of some type, try connecting it directly to a wall outlet, by itself (at least initially). Start up with nothing but the power cord connected, then add only standard mouse and keyboard. If it works, run it that way for a while.
If PRAM and SMC reset have no effect, you should insert your Mac OS X installation disc (for the currently installed system) in the optical drive, and restart with the C key held down. This should get you to the Installer screen, where you can run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In Disk Utility, does the internal hard drive appear in the sidebar? If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Use Repair Disk. If an error is found, note if Disk Utility was able to fix it or not.
You can then quit Disk Utility and attempt to restart normally. -
I have a white screen with a black apple logo. I cant turn phone off or on. I cant reboot it by holding both buttons and it wont connect to my computer. What do i do?
Hi wiilson Cunha,
Oh man! That definitely sounds frustrating. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue by following the steps in this resource:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

I have a white screen whilst downloading Yosemite onto my Mac. What should I do??
I Have a white screen after downloading & installing Yosemite. What should I do now???
First of all, wait and give it some time. It might be rebuilding the disk. Sometimes, it takes a little time for the busy indicator to come up.
If there is no change in 5 min., reboot with the option key pressed. This will make the mountable recovery partition visible. You can select it and boot into it, then use Disk Utlity to try to check and repair your boot volume.
If there is no recovery HD, boot while pressing CMD-R. You need to be in a place with a network connected to the internet. If you are, you can boot recovery tools over the internet, and restore your system. Depending on the speed of your network connection, this can take a while (even hours....).
It is useful to have a backup of your system using a USB drive. These are inexpensive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to maintain a copy of your main disk. You can boot from the USB drive, and repair your internal volume, and even completely restore it, should trouble arise. -

You will likely have to let the battery fully drain
