Any advice on how to fix a white screen?

Within about 30 seconds of powering up cold the screen goes white. The computer seems to be working. I can eject a CD for example. On repeating the power up the screen may show a brief flicker of an image but then reverts to white. I tried resetting Pram, I also tried booting up from system CD. I then tried opening the Imac, cleaning it and pressing on the connectors in case a connector might be loose. Followed instructions from discussion board from someone who fixed a pink screen. However, in my case after putting the Imac back together the same white screen problem exists.
Buy hey. my computer is clean even if I can't use it or get files off it.
Any advice on what might be the problem?

Perhaps your current projects contain some element that is tripping up the PDF playback.
I would suggest you do some testing using the process of elimination method to narrow down why the current projects are not working in PDF.
First create a new blank project with a few ordinary screen objects, publish to PDF and then test to ensure that there's nothing wrong with your Captivate installation per se. If those work, then try the methodolody outlined in this post to hide slides until you find the reason:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Which OS are you using.

My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

On your iPad - go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Load Remote Images>On. Try that first.
You can also try a reset. 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 - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail and all other apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.

Does anyone have any advice on how to fix a 6th generation classic, when the manual reset doesnt work either?

Hey,
Ive bought and ipod , without reading the description, silly me and it says the ipod wont turn on at all......ive tried the manual reset ( menu and middle button) still not working at all.
I wondered if anyone had any advice, whether theres another way of making it work, or whether im going to have to go into an aple store and see what they can do?
Thanks

If you followed instructions from the apple support site: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
and you have not been successful, it will be harder. You can always google your problem and watch the different links and youtube sessions explaining how to do it. If your iPod is dead, meaning nothing shows up on the screen when you attempt to revive it, then it could mean the battery is totally dead or other hardware issues that prevent a power up. Don't try to spend too mcuh money in reviving your classic outisde of the Apple route, you might just end up spending that amount plus having to go to the Apple store anyway. I would try to see if it can be revived on the cheap by just prowling the web and trying the different solutions, but please don't open up your iPod, the classic is notorious for being difficult to open without damaging your chrome cover or even the front faceplate. if you can't do anything and you really want to revive it, go to the store and weight your options cost wise. If your final solution is to say goodbye to the iPod and want to get a new one, Amazon offers the same ones for less and the warranty is exactly the same plus you'll have 30 days to return it instead of the standard 14 from the Apple store (no tax too), you'll still have to pay for shipping but at least you'll have longer to consider keeping it. If you want to get warranties longer than Apple and for cheaper, use SquareTrade, they are very afforable and they will restore your iPod to like new and will cover for shipping it both ways (check them out first to see if they still do).
Hope htis will help

How to fix a white screen iphone 4s?

Hello!
I've had a problem with my iphone for a while now. I dropped it at the beginning of November but it worked fine so I didn't change the screen yet. However it started turning off at around 30% now and I'm unable to turn it back on. I usually manage after about 20 minutes but it brings me a lot of stress. The screen goes white with thin lines going from the top to the bottom. It also shows water damage marks but that disappears when I manage to switch it back on. Restarting it doesn't really help much and I just don't know what to do anymore. I can't afford a new phone and this one is on contract. I know that if I go to apple they will want a lot of money for the repair. Please help me manage this somehow!

its possible that you damaged the internal hardware when it dropped. you can try a hard reset (hold the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time until it powers down) and if that doest work, you can try a restore in iTunes. But most likely, it is damaged and you might have to replace it.

How to fix the white screen of death

Hi I have been having trouble with my imac that was bought in 2009. I was working on a project when my imac froze. I turned it off and turned it back off but then it showed a screen the color of sky blue. I left it on the whole day then turned it off for the whole night. Once I turned it back on it showed a screen with a file sign and a blinking question mark.
Please help me

Sounds like a hardware problem, run Apple Hardware Test (Google it) in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times in succession. If you get any error codes you have confirmed its hardware which means there is nothing we can do to help on a user forum. It would mean a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

Hi
My Ipod nana...has frozen up and working. It shows a white screen with the wrong time and a lock symbol. When I connected it to my computer, it didn't show up. Back of Ipod gets really warm..Any ideas on how to fix it? Than You

If it happens again and the reset (home + power buttons) doesn't work, just let the battery drain; you'll know when the screen shuts off. Charge it back up and it should be fine. Frankly, I'm surprised this worked for you. Usually I hear people with this problem say that holding both buttons doesn't work, and they have to do the battery drain.
If the issue is incurable next time, you have a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.

I have an eight year old IMAC with the Intel dual core. Today for the first time a fine white vertical line appeared on screen in all applications. I do not know if I did something or if this is a larger problem. Everything else seems to be working alright. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

Eight-year old iMacs did not have Intel processors. Please do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu to see something like this:
Please post the "Version" under the big "Mac OS X" and the "Processor" information. These can make a big difference in advising you how to proceed.
iOS 4.1 currently shown in you profile will not run on a Mac computer; it is only for iDevices (Pads, Pods and Phones), so fixing that in your profile can help you get answers faster because people won't to ask for more info before forming an answer.

When it says restore the iPid via recovery mode, try placing n recovery mode and restoring several times.
