Blue, red, green screen

I have had my i book for about 3 years. Recently it has just started going to this black screen, then red, blue, or green. I wiped out the hard drive and it is still doing it. Any one else face this problem. I'm trying to fix it my self before i send it to apple support

Help! My ibook also about 3 years old that has my life on it doesn't go "black", but red, blue and green stripes running vertically-- not a pretty sight when you want to get work done! Any ideas of how to fix, or what this symptom means????

  • Blue or Green Screen

    Hi: I've occasionally had a blue screen when I woke the Mac Mini from sleep. Yesterday, I had a green screen when I woke it up. I unplug it for about 30 seconds and when I start it up again, everything is fine. In some cases these incidents happened after I ran OnyX, Yasu, or when I repaired Permissions. Is it likely I have a hardware problem? If not, is it anything to be concerned about? I've had the Mini for about 3 month and I love it. Thanks, Jerry.

    Thanks Sherry. I started it in Safe Mode and all was ok. I don't know how to run the repair disk in Disk Utility or the Apple Hardward Test. I installed Disk 1 for the system, but I couldn't figure out how to run these programs from Disk Utility. In any case, Safe Mode indicated that the Disk was ok. Thanks so much for your help. If you have the time to tell me how to repair the Disk and do the Apple Hardware Test, I'd appreciate it. I'm new to the Mac world. Thanks, Jerry.

  • HT201263 Blue and green screen

    My iPad won't turn on. Held both buttons and got a blue and green lined screen. Help???

    You have to hold the sleep and home buttons down at the same time for at least 10-15 seconds and the key is to wait until the Apple logo appears on the screen before you let go of the buttons. It can take even longer than 15 seconds.
    But the fact that you are seeing this funky screen makes it seem like it could be a hardware problem. Anyway, you still have to go through the troubleshooting steps and see if anything will help restore the iPad to working order.
    Start here. Read any and all of the links that are in the kb article as well.

    Can you do blue screen and green screen things on Final Cut Pro? Don't tell me how because I don't own it. I just want to know if it's possible.

    Look at DV Matte Pro...as another option.

  • Flashing blue and green screen

    Hi, I upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7 and now no videos, wether .mov, .avi or anything show up in the player. I get sound fine...the visual is just a flashing green and blue screen. Also, this is a product I purchased, and now I am told I can't get support from an apple technician. What kinda support is that?! I can't talk to anyone who will help me troubleshoot?
    Thanks to anyone out there that can help me.

    Quicktime Control Panel / Advanced tab
    under Video switch to "Safe mode". Quit QuickTime and any open browser and try the file again.

  • IMac (mid 2011) with HDD replaced does not start- I have grey (sometimes blue or green) screen

    I had a similar issue in June and despite the efforts of Genius team nothing changed until I uninstall Flash player and reinstall the last version. So, this I did the same and it semeed to work but instead of working more than 2 months , this time it was only for one day and crashed. I had some kind of blue vertical stripes all over the screen.
    I did not revived it since.
    When I start in Recovery mode, after I select the disc to boot from, I get a grey screen.
    I tried all other mode I know, nothing changed.
    Could it be a hardware issue?

    Anyone know? :(

  • Help please? Programming the Phillps 144 Remote's Colored Buttons ABCD[Yellow,Blue,Red,Green]

    I have the Phillips 144 Remote. I wish to program one of the Colored bottons at the bottom of the remote by learning from the output of an other remote.
    I have a Panasonic TC_P50UT50TV.
    Today I successfully programed my Phillips 144 remote for this TV.
    There is one TV function that I need. It isn't obvious if it is available already on the Remote. Tried most of the buttons-none seemed to act upon the INPUT control of the TV.
    The single function I wish to have on the REMOTE;
    To be able to vary the TV's INPUT [such as HDMI 1,HDMI 2,AV1,AV2]
    Can I use the colored buttons,? If so, how can I program those buttons by LEARNING from my TV's remote?
    If I can't program the colored buttons, is there any other button that I can program for changing the TV's INPUT?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    It works!
    Exactly as you told me.

    Assuming you have programmed the remote correctly to turn on and off your TV, have you tried hitting the TV button at the top of the remote and then the A/V button (also labeled Input) at the bottom? Works for me on all of my TVs.

  • Red green blue white screen

    Opened up the PB from sleep yesterday and was greeted with a blue, then red, then green, then white screen. Fan started up but no chimes. No icons or other symbols on screen. Tried to restart and force shutdown with no improvement. Each time I restarted, the same blue, red, green, white cycle.
    Had no apps open when PB put to sleep prior to this problem.
    Help!

    I just got a g4 15 in from ebay, worked fine yeasterday and today. This evening it went red, green, blue then white. I read the posts and thought great bad logic board. I squeezed the display at the edges (I had a 5300 cs that did a simlar thing) and the screen came back on. Anyone else have any luck with this?

  • Creating green screen , blue screen and

    Hi,
    I am new to shake , I tried to read the manual as well as the Shake Training book but i just ended up in vain..
    all i want is to make a blue and green screen.
    also ..
    "to make a person in LA look like walking in New York "
    please help me , thanks!!!!

    Hmm. Did you get through Apple's tutorials (you mentioned "tried to read..")? The tutorials that come with Shake are very good, at least for me.
    Also, I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Are you keying existing footage? Or, are you trying to shoot your own green/blue screen shot with an actor, and then composite over a background shot of NYC?
    Basically need those two elements: your well-lit actor against a well-lit green or blue screen (go with green if you're shooting DV), and background footage or an image of NY. Then key your footage and composite in Shake. If your camera is not locked down, that's a whole different thing that I won't get into with you now (so, make sure your camera is locked down on a tripod and not moving, to make things easier).
    But for starters you should grab a book on the basics of compositing. Wish I had something to recommend, but again, the Apple tutorials and the Shake book should be enough to get you going in the right direction. Spend some time on the tutorials, commit to them, and you'll be fine.
    Hope this helps-

  • If you haven't already, why not give "blue/green screen" a try?

    Legacy FCP and FCE could always do blue (or green) screen but FCP X makes it a real doddle to get a good key.
    For my test I simply used a very cheap blue bedsheet fastened to a wall and without more ado filmed myself babbling for a couple of minutes.
    The resulting clip was imported into FCP X and the Keying Filter was added.
    There are numerous adjustments you can make, but none of these was necessary as the result was automatically OK.
    Here are frame grabs showing the original bedsheet and the final result with a street scene superimposed.
    You can click the images to enlarge and examine the edges which look pretty clean........... especially considering the the lack of time and expense incurred!
    Obviously anybody can achieve the above results with no effort, so take a look at this short video from Vimeo showing how some of the special effects in "The Great Gatsby" were achieved.
    For a visual feast I suggest downloading it and playing on an HD TV.
    https://vimeo.com/68451324
    Now hasn't that pro clip inspired you to try blue/green screen  ...........  or maybe it's completely demoralised you?

  • Where is the green screen effect in Elements 13 on a Mac

    In the help manual they list different key options, such as blue and green screens.  can not find them under keying for the Mac

    david521
    There is no Green Screen, Blue Screen, or Chromakey in Premiere Elements Mac (in any version that I know of).
    You should have Videomerge which some suggest for this type of effect. I do not.
    Please look at the Difference Matte under fx Effects/Keying/

    Please consider and let us know the outcome.

  • Mac stuck at Gray apple screen that turns red, green and blue.

    A month ago I was playing world of warcraft on my powerbook when the entire screen froze up and pixelated. I forced shut down and powered it back up. Now I only get the gray screen with the apple and the spinning wheel. The gray screen changes color to blue, then green then red and lines flicker horizontally up and down my screen. After a minute the little wheel stops spinning. I have tried all of the various resets, booting into safe mode, hooking it up to an external monitor and none of those options worked. I booted into target disk mode and ran checks on my hd and it is fine. If I try to boot from my installer cd the screen just goes gray. Do you think this could be a sign of logic board failure?

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Sorry to hear about your system. You've done some good troubleshooting, however, I'd suggest you take it to an Apple store or Apple Authorized Service Provider, to get their take. It does sound likely that the logic board has issues. You can find the closest store/provider at http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ . Assuming it is a logic board issue, you can buy and replace it yourself, however, it is very involved. You can see how to do it at http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/PowerBook-G4-Al-12-Inch/Logic-Board/53/16/

  • Grey, red, green, blue screen during startup

    Hi,
    today my macbook 13" unibody was working well. Then I put it in sleep mode and after it woke up I got grey, red, green, blue, vertical stripes, horizontal stripes screen. I tried to reboot my macbook and always the red, green, blue loop. I tried a cmdoption+pr boot with no results. I then tried to remove the battery and push the start button for 5 sec. but no results again.
    I've tried to boot with the C button and the installation disk but I got always the red green blue loop.
    What else can I do to solve the problem?

    We are experiencing the same issue on a Macbook A1278 13.3" Aluminum Notebook. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? Thank you.
