  • Blue screen keeps popping up after "you need to restart" message

    While I was rendering a movie in After Effects, the screen turned black with the message "you need to restart your computer". So I did. But after the restart nothing will load. So in the upper right corner the only thing there is the magnifying glass (so no time, airport etc). If I want to start something (like Chrome or whatever) it loads and a few seconds after that a blue screen pops up and than the app is closes again... If I do nothing a blue screen keeps popping up also (guess something wants to start and gets shut down again).
    I tried the apple hardware test (extended) and it said everything was ok. I also disconnected everything from my iMac, no help. Then I tried reinstalling OS X, problem was still there. I also repaired disk and permissions.
    So I really don't know what to do now, hope you can help.
    I got a iMac 27" i7 8gb ATI Radeon HD 5750 and I was running the newest OS X (10.6)

    that was a [_*Kernel Panic*_|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8965.html]
    try booting into _*safe mode*_. if your Mac boots into safe mode, repair permissions while in it, then reboot normally.

  • Blue screen keeps popping up, format and reinstall did not fix problem

    My wife has a Toshiba Satellite A55-S3063 Laptop with Windows XP Home. After we got married in 2008, I noticed SP2 was installed and there was an update ready. She said SP3 never installed and I couldn't get it to install. Even with Registry checks, removing anti-virus, and other suggestions from the MS site, I still couldn't get it to install. I told her we would do a format and reinstall "someday." A month ago, the blue screen of death started coming on regularly and the computer would restart quickly after flashing the blue screen. I did a System Restore from a previous point, but a few days later, it started happening again. I decided to take this opportunity to do a format and reinstall, so I backed everything up. Her computer came with a recovery disk that only gives you the option to do a format and reinstall, not a recovery like I've done on other computers. So the format was really our only option. I did this and installed all the Service Packs (including 3). I put a new battery in (that we hadn't used before) because the old one didn't last very long and I got a blue screen and restart the next time I turned on the computer. AFter that one time, it worked fine the rest of the day. The next day I plugged in the external hard drive (Simpletech 500gb) to move her info back over. A few minutes later, blue screen and system crash. On restart, same thing. Next restart, just a black screen. I decided no big loss if I reinstall again, so I reinstalled again. Now I just get the blue screen during setup. Right after I type in the computer name and click "Next" I can hear the hard drive spinning and then the blue screen and system restarts. The blue screen is not up long enough to read, so I can't give you an error message. 
    I can only assume this a hardware problem, but I don't know what or how to fix it. We have her sister's old computer which is the same computer, bought at the same time, but stopped working years ago. So with explicit instructions, I might be able to retrieve hardware from that. Except the hard disk; her sister kept that and is using it as a small external drive. 

    this link should give you some info on how to get it open to everything

    toshiba doesnt offer any manuals so this is about as good as you will find
    hope that helps

  • DVD keeps popping out.  How do I get it to play???

    DVD keeps popping out.  How do I get it to play??

    There's nothing else you need to do. Do other DVDs play in your Mac? Hate to say but your SuperDrive may have failed. Try resetting the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 and PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    After that you can try a cleaning disc but that usually doesn't help. If your drive has failed you'll have to decide if it's worth replacing the internal with another unreliable slot loading drive or if you should purchase an external unit. If you decide to go the external route I'd recommend a tray loader...and don't buy the Apple USB SuperDrive as it will not work with macs that have a built in drive wether it works or not.

  • Battery screen keeps popping up

    In my TX when I turn it on and try to work with it the battery screen popps up and I cannot get rid of it. the unit is fully charged and it states that. It causes the touch screen part to seem miss aligned, but if I can get the screen to go away, the touch screen sync works fine. Why does this battery screen keep popping up.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    You may want to clean the touchscreen. It could be click the item on its own if there is some dust or dirt on it. Also, clean the outside of the touchscreen with a business card. If you notice this problem still occurs after cleaning the touchscrenn try a hard reset. This will erase all data on the device and restore settings to default. Be sure to back up your information by syncing it to a computer. For further information and instructions on hard resets, please visit kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the Solution I.D. search field.
    I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further issues.

  • My screen keeps cutting out

    My screen keeps cutting out and is very temperamental with at what angle the screen has to be at??

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My iphone 5c screen is popping out from the top right side , can i exchange it for a new one at the apple store ?

    my iphone 5c screen is popping out from the top right side , can i exchange it for a new one at the apple store ?

    If it is still under warranty, and they determine it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace it. Be sure to back everything up before taking it into the Apple Store. That way, if you do get a new device, you will be able to set it up from the backup.
    Cheers,

  • Help! Screen keeps flipping out!

    My screen keeps flipping out and scrolling by itself or clicking on things while I'm trying to scroll. It also spazzes out when I zoom. This has been happening for about a week every now and then. I try turning off my phone and turning it back on but it doesn't help sometimes. What do I do?

    Hello Paulinaav,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • Shutdown screen and Volume level screens keep popping up

    My friends Macbook 13" 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo running Os 10.5.8 is having problems. The screen "Are you sure you want to shutdown your computer now ?", keeps popping up. If you click cancel, it will pop up again in a few minutes and remain until some action is taken. Also underneath it, the speaker volume level screen pops up. If you leave the shutdown screen on, the speaker volume screen will continue to pop in and out. I booted from a external drive by USB with Os 10.6.8  and the screens after computer starts, still pop up.  ANYONE HAVE SOME INSIGHT ON WHATS CAUSING THIS? I don't think it's software related.
    ANY INFO APPRECIATED

    Thanks for your Suggestions BDAqua, but it looks like possibly the top case and keyboard will have to be replaced. I cloned the internal drive to an external drive, and rebooted with the external. Then did a partitioning and clean Os install to the original internal drive.  After removing the external and booting off the new software install on the internal, the problem is still there.

  • Select- Color Range- Results in Blue Screen (PC)  (driver out of date)

    I've been using the CS6 beta about two days.  While experimenting with color range I experienced two consecutive blue screen crashes.  The first time it happened,I was working with the color range selector and was replacing the selected areas with another color using the paint bucket.  About the third time I attempted this, my PC blue screened.  The second time, I opened a photo, went to Select>Color Range and got an immediate blue screen crash.
    I then went back to CS5 and I've been playing with the same scenario with no apparent problems.
    My PC is a store built computer.  It consists of an MSI 990-FXA GD80 motherboard, an AMD Phenom 1100t CPU, Asus GTX550 Ti graphics card and 8 gig of RAM.  It boots from a 60 gig SSD and my programs reside on a 500 gig hard drive.  The OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.  CS6 is using the hard drive for its scratch disk and Photoshop is using 4339 mb of the 7232 mb of available RAM - I haven't changed that.  I'm running CS6 as administrator because the way it installed, it would only run in that fashion.
    One disappointment during the installation was CS6 made no attempt to read my preferences from the CS5 install.  That may be covered in another post, I've not yet looked.
    Please keep us informed as new betas are released, because I would like some time to work with this puppy before plunking down big bux for the upgrade.  As it is now, I'm going back to CS5.  I get mighty nervous when my super computer blue screens!

    The GPU is often at root of issues like yours. I've had so many problems with Nvidia drivers for their gaming-oriented adapters (like yours) that I finally went with one of their workstation cards. I have a Quadro card with just enough RAM to make Photoshop happy. The workstation drivers are optimized for reliability, the consumer card drivers are optimized for gaming and that often means they're less stable and reliable with Photoshop.

  • I dropped my iphone and the screen started popping out

    i recently dropped my phone and it fell flat on its screen. the top right hand of the screen popped out and when i pressed the home button, there were white lines going vertically on the screen. My touch screen also wont work at all. I tried popping it back in but more white lines just started showing up on the screen. what should i do?

    You mean no other smartphones have an issue where if you drop the phone the screen comes out? Really?
    If all that needs to be done is to replace the screen the cost is $109/$129 USD depending on the model of the iPhone.
    If there is more damage Apple does not repair the phone they replace the entire phone. The good news is if you only had this phone for a month and they do this then you get back your one year warranty. Or if you had purchased AppleCare+ it would have cost you $79 USD for your deductible.
