  • MacBook pro will not boot up. Blank screen with message File is possibly corrupted. Checksum does not match etc

    MacBook Pro suddenly will not boot up. Blank screen with message File is possibly corrupt. Header checksum does not match, etc

    Hi s.cheslik,
    It seems your MacBook Pro will not boot properly and it displaying an error message. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your MacBook Pro needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • IPhoto blank screen error message

    iPhoto opens with blank screen and error message "Your iPhoto Library is in use by another application or has become unreadable". Not in use by another application. Tried repairing, doesn't work. Reopened while holding down Option and Command, didn't work. Any suggestions?

    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Blank Screen in Message Window of Solution Manager SPS 13

    Hi Gurus,
    We have SolMan SPS 13 and we have very strang Issue at the ABAP side : The Message Windows ( Most of them ) appears as just plain white Blank Screen i.e. there's a header in the message window but, no msg text as the entire window is pure white i.e. Totally Blank. So, the User ( in Client 000 ) can't read the Messages at all and can not decide which button to click in the Window ?
    I checked on the SMP and have no mention of this weird issue - This seems Graphics Related Problem in Client 000.
    Even the Solution_Manager and DSWP TCode also has entire screen as Blank ..can't use these TCode and Practically
    SolMan is Useless.
    Also, Can we configure the SolMan for Local SLD in Production ( non 000) client ? Or 000 Client is MUST for this ?
    Was / Is anybody in the Same boat ? Any Suggestions To solve this ?
    Sincerely appreciate any / all input on these 2 Issues.
    Thanks,
    Best Regards,
    - Ishan

    No Problem ..! 
    About the SPRO Config > The issue is two fold :
    #1 Client has done Config of  SolMan / Satellite Sysetms but have no documentation of  who did what ( and based on
         which SAP Guide / Resources !!)
    #2 Even the SPRO Screen has white out - Blank - screen when I go for Config for SolMan
         ( under the Window 'Preparation for the Configuration of SAP Solution Manager ) , I see again only white screen.
    So, I believe unless and untill we run the SGEN ( once we have space for it !!! ) , then I can have this Blank Screen Err Solved and I can move on from there to Profile Parameter Check as well !!
    Thanks a Lot Again..
    Best Regards,
    - IShan

  • My mail on iMac is not working properly. Click on email, it hangs, showing previous email. Takes forever to load. "No message selected" showing in a blank screen

    My mail is not working properly: when I click on an email it hangs, frequently showing the previous email, often for up to a minute. Or it shows "loading" and just sits there showing nothing. OR there is a blank screen saying "no message selected". It's slow to load, and I'm not happy. Recently switched from Windows PC, not impressed so far. Very frustrating.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received. (I upgraded to Mountain LIon, and don't think I had problems before I did so, though I hadn't had the computer for long.)

    Hi Sarah,
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

  • Just downloaded 10.5.  It gives me a blank screen for the itunes store.  No error message.  Internet connection fine.  Have checked firewall.  Any ideas?

    I have just downloaded 10.5.  it gives me a blank screen for the itunes store.  No error message.  Internet connection fine and I have checked my firewall settings.  Any ideas?  Or is the store blocked because of ios 5 release today?

    I've had the exact same issue since late last night since I downloaded 10.5
    I'm also having problems backing up my iPhone, which I suspect is due to the same issue.
    I've tried all recommended solutions on forums and Apple support (deleting backups, restarting phone/computer, disabling/uninstalling third party security software, testing port connectivity) and none of them work.
    I will try japiohelp's solution and see if that does anything.

    You can get there from here (booting normally); it just may take you a few steps to do it.
    If the disk is almost full and the system won't boot then sometimes it will boot in Safe Mode.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
    Empty the trash after it boots.
    Then for hints on how to free disk/SSD storage see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5872318?tstart=0
    If the Safe Mode boot does not do the trick then you can install OS X on an external hard disk, boot from that, and then delete files.  You can also reach the disk via Target Mode.  A third option is to take it to an Apple store where they can do a network boot and help you remove some files.

    I had this same thing happen to me.  I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.
