After wakeup I get a blue screen for a sec then my desktop after; normal?

Hi, I dont remember this happening before, but then who knows.
But, when I wake my computer up from its nap, I first get a blue screen for a second than my desktop appears. Is there a malfunction of some sort?

Hi poops,
I am hoping it is normal, my iSight wakes from sleep the very same way as yours...
I also access an eMac on a regular basis, and when you wake it from sleep it just goes straight to desktop in an instance, while ours go to the blue screen for what seems like an eternity but only a second or so before going to desktop. This is explained by our Energy Saver Preferences, I have my display (5 minutes) and computer (15 minutes) go into sleep mode, while the eMac lets the display go into sleep mode but computer is set to never sleep.
I would say don't worry, if it bothers you, set your System Preferences > Energy Saver > Sleep > Computer 'Never' but set your display to sleep... Good luck, Rick
BTW - I think it is a good idea not to use a screen saver

After login I get a blue screen and then back to login window, but only for one account

When one of the users on the iMac tries to login it goes to a blue screen and back to the login window. This only happens with one of the users - I've tried doing a safe boot, running disk utility, and using Time Machine to restore the user's libray back to pre-problem timetable. When I run repair permissions I do gt a SUID file "usr/sbin/vpnd" and "usr/sbin/pppd" have been modified. Any ideas?

Try this...

If that doesn't help I'd make a new user & use an admin account to move the old folders over & change rights to the new user.

After installing 10.5.2, Blue Screen for about 2 minutes..

Hi,
With the new update, I promised myself to re-install the system all over again. I erased my hard drive, and clean installed 10.5. I already downloaded the 10.5.2 combo update package, so, I updated my system to 10.5.2 immediately.
After installing 10.5.2, when I restarted my iMac there was a blue screen after Apple logo for about 2 minutes.. Every time I restart my iMac, I keep waiting and waiting to get to Finder.
Anyone having this issue? Anyone have any solutions?

I am waiting now for hours to get beyond the blue screen and to login in 10.5.2 on my iMac 2,8 GHz

When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

After starting iTunes 11, I get a blue screen error

So after I updated my iTunes to v11, it started up and it was great! Then I rebooted my PC. After logging in, I started iTunes 11. Nothing happened for a few minutes. Then the screen became black for half a minute or so and then I get the blue screen error. Now this is happening all the time when I start iTunes 11 or if I connect my iPod Touch 4g for starting.
Please help out!!! I want to open iTunes but knowing that I'll get a blue screen error, I can't. Please help!!! I can understand if you are getting the same problem.
Thank You!!

Not sure, but try these.
Disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

I get a message saying adobe acrobat 10 is not designed to run on windows or uninstall and reinstall it ....but it will not let me uninstall it.

Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.

Hi my name is Hajk and i got a friend that has a problem with her macbook, she gets a blue screen and cant log on. So i told her if she had an reinstall disk so that i could reinstall for her but she didn't get one with the macbook. what can she do ?

If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

HT4061 The phone exhausted power. I plugged in my charger and I am getting the following response: Power on and the apple icon is visible, it is quickly replaced by a blue screen for about 1 second andf then black screen with no other activity. What is

The power was exhausted on my Iphone 5S. I plugged it into my charger and turned it on. The apple icon comes on briefly followed by a blue screen for about 1.5 seconds andf then goes black. What has happened?

Leave the device connected to power for about 30 minutes.
Then, disconnect from power, and turn the device on. If no response, then press and hold both the Home button and Sleep/Wake button down for about 15-20 seconds. Make sure it is not plugged in while doing this.
See what happens.

IMac taking ten minutes to start up and sits at a blue screen for the most of the time. Also, when it goes into sleep mode I am unable to wake it up from it.

For the past few days now whenever I go to turn on my iMac it takes roughly ten or more minutes to boot up. For the portion of this time it sits on a blank blue screen. At first it comes up to a plain white screen which after about 30 seconds has the apple logo on it and the spinning circle for about a minute then to the blue screen, every time. Then, to top it off right when this started happening another problem began occurring. The computer is set to go into sleep mode after 15 minutes of no use. But, if it is in sleep mode for too long I am unable to get it out and I have to restart the entire computer, but if it is just for a few seconds into sleep or a minute I am able to get the screen to come back. I can still here the fan running and such so I don't know what is going on. I have searched through discussion after discussion. I have tried: repairing disks, repairing permissions, starting up in safe mode, and such. There has been no luck so far. I was wondering if anyone could offer insight into fixing at least one of these problems since my schooling relies on the computer.
By the way I this is an iMac 10.6.4 refurbished which we just bought about two weeks ago.
Thanks for any suggestions!

My iMac i7 quad was having the same symptoms with the blue screen and long startup times a couple of months ago. Apple Care told me to bring it in to the local Apple Store, and after some diagnostics, the hard drive required replacing. It took one day to replace the hard drive and my iMac is running great. I only had the iMac for about 12 months when the drive needed to be replaced. Not sure if that is your Mac's problem, but it was for mine.

I get a blue screen on Windows 7 startup via bootcamp (Lion OS)

My Windows 7 works fine via VMWare Fusion, however since having upgrading to Lion:
1. Get a blue screen hardware issue starting up directly in Windows which appears just after the Windows startup animation. Using the windows repair doesn't seem to do anything.
2. Bootcamp now missing from the Mac OS 'Start up' target disk.
Has anyone solved these problems?
Infuriating that Apple have released Lion and it buggers up Bootcamp. I do not wish to go throught the process of partitioning and reinstalling Windows again as it takes days because I have to install Vista and wait a while for Windows to eventually install both service packs before I can then install the Windows 7 upgrade disk. It took approxiamtely 2 days of time to do this!!!
Thank you.

I can easily get into Windows. It is just that the drivers don't seem to work correct, and makes the screen dark.

HT1752 my powerbook g4 will not boot up. i get a blue screen. i have tried to start up in safe mode, but get the same blue screen.

My Powerbook G4 (with Snow Leopard operating system) will not boot up, I get a blue screen. I have tried to start up in safe mode by holding down shift key after startup tone, but end up with same result...blue screen. I need important photos and documents of this laptop, Even if I can just get it started up one more time. Need help fast! If you know what to do, please message back.

In the text you say you are using Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard will not operate on a G4 (or any Mac with a PowerPC processor). Leopard OS 10.5 is the max OS for PowerPC processor Macs. Your profile shows OS 10.5.6. What OS are you using (or trying to use)?

Blue screen and no login at start up after 10.6 install

After installing 10.6, I am not able to log into my MacBook Pro, unless I do so in safe mode.
I get passed the grey apple/boot up screen, then rather than having the list of users, I just get a blue screen (the mouse is there).
I have tried the following:
1. Booted from external drive and repaired permissions.
2. Logged into safe mode and deleted all start up items.
3. Reset the PRAM ect.
4. Removed all items from the "startupitems" folder within library.
5. Tried fresh install.
Any other suggestions?

Hi acl2009 & welcome to discussions.
1. Booted from external drive and repaired permissions.
Not recommended if that happened to be an older OS version - only use the version of Disk Utility that comes with SL. Boot from the installer DVD and use DU from there.
Any other suggestions?
Take your laptop and your SL DVD into the nearest Apple Store and ask the staff there for assistance...

Why do I get a blue screen using USB communication?

Hello,
My problem is that sometimes I get a blue screen using USB communication. I guess that most of the time the problem is an overflow in memory, so I read all the data that is on the port with which I communicate. I read two ports so there are two similar VIs that are used. There is how I do it:
I also communicate with a logger to acquire 16 channels. I read the information from the logger in two different parts of the program at the same time. Maybe this can cause an issue, but could it cause a blue screen? This is how I do it:
I once had a blue screen after the VI was closed, so there is how I manage to close the communication when I quit:
Do you think there can be any problem coming from one of these parts of my LV project? If not, what else can cause a blue screen in LabVIEW?

Are you using USB to GPIB (doubtful because you are using bytes at port)? But, just inc ase, I had this problem also with USB to GPIB, and it ended up being a driver issue I believe. If you are using USB to GPIB driver that was released with LV2012, search for the latest 2012 driver on NIs site, download it, and use that. See if it fixes your problem
