Blue Screen still... now what?

I installed the new OS and i'm getting the blue screen after restarting. Now I tried the 3 options and neither of them are working. So what do i do now?

Hello dub:
I assume you are referring to the three options outlined in this knowledge base article:

You need to post more specific information - detailing exactly what you did and what happened as a result.

Chose wrong display settings, resulting in blue screen. Now what...

I just purchased a new Mac Mini and connected it to my LCD TV with an HDMI cable. Everything was working fine untill I switched the display setting from 1080i to 1080p (or vice versa, I'm not sure) which resulted in a blue screen. Now I can no longer see my desktop, how do I fix this ?
Nevermind. I just found the solution in another topic. Starting the Mac in safe mode solved my issue.

Hi,
I've also had the same problem you've mentioned and had it kind-of resolved.
I had the horizontal grey area on my screen which got worse over time. I had it sent away to Apple to be repaired and it came back pretty much the same as they couldn't find anything diagnostically wrong with it. I then went to the Genius bar and, fortunately, they recognised that there was a grey banding and replaced the LCD panel.
This did get rid of the grey banding, although brought a whole new set of problems.
Don't put up with the genius staff trying to baffle you or make you feel like you are being silly for complaining - the iMac is not a cheap machine and you have the right to make sure it is fit for purpose. A grey/uneven screen is not fit for purpose.
Ask them to replace your LCD panel and glass, but inspect it when you collect it to make sure it is an even brightness and colour. My replacements have been brighter on the left hand side than the rest of the screen or had a blue tint on the left or a yellow tint on the right. If you don't like it, don't accept it - as I have been told repeatedly by Applecare and the genius bar 'all the lcd panels are different you have to find one you like' i.e. put up with!
Eventually the cost of the replacement panels will mount up and they will offer a replacement. It has taken me almost a year to get my replacement. Just keep on at them until it is resolved.
Also, on your first pic there is a rectangular mark - this could be screen persistance and can be easily removed by using a white screensaver for a few hours. I found mine did it when i had the brightness on full (to compensate for the greyness!).
Hope this has helped, good luck!

If nothing else works, you might try this one. It has worked for many others ...
Use iTunes to do a reset to factory default condition. Always be sure to do your backups before fiddling with your iPad. You might do both the iCloud and the iTunes backup, just to be sure!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.
Good Luck and report back all what you tried.
Also report what change occured before this tragedy happened, was there a Software Update? A EFI firmware update? Etc.

HT4528 my month and a half old iphone 5s had a blue screen and now just has a black screen. will not reboot or restore through itunes. what do i do?

my iphone 5s has been showing a blue screen and shuttiing down. yesterday night it did just that and now will not reboot or even restore through itunes.
what should i do?

Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

IPhone 6 Blue Screen Crash Now my Phone will not stop crashing: Has Not turned back on after last crash.

I very recently got my new iPhone 6. I got it on new years eve. I'm not sure what version of the OS it is on, but I'm going to assume it is on the latest, 8.1.2. Today has been the only day i have had an issue. Earlier in the day the phone froze and the Wifi was showing to only have one bar. They Phone then shut off and flashed a red screen for about a second. After that, I had no issues for a few hours. Later that night the phone crashed three times. 2 of them showed a blue screen before crashing. The third time the phone would not let me open any apps and then just shut down, and as of right now it has not turned back on. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to replace my phone?

I was able to turn it on but when I turned on WiFI the apps would not open and the phone crashed again and turned off.

Blue screen of death what does it mean????

Hi.
Pc normally runs like a dream, no problems, no hanging and no errors.
Today I was recording a family video to dvd (fr AVI file on pc) When i came back to the pc i had the blue screen of death , with the error saying
"Bad_Exhandle" 0x000000A7
I've looked on microsoft web site for the error code but it is not listed.
Does anyone know the cause of this error?
Pc is the on in my sig.
Thanks for any help.

thanks s0nicp , . It was the first time I've seen this error and I have now made the dvd disc and it is perfect. I will keep an eye on it though.
hello MGP , thanks for your reply too. I do not use screen savers, power saver etc because when they do kick in and you are making a disc i find it tends to put the audio and video out.(sound and lip movement arn't the same) When its disabled its fine.
The dvd didnt get toasted because it hadnt even started to write to it. It was still transcoding.
How many times have i recorded a movie? do you mean the one i got the error on or in general?
The file size was a standard size. 3GB.
Since then every thing has been ok so I'm guessing it was a one off.
Thanks for all help though.

Blue Screen, reboots now getting 2 vertical lines

I have the Z10 and I got the blue screen, wouldn't turn back on. Today I got the blue screen. It shut off and restarted, then went blue again after about a minute, restarted and then there were 2 vertical lines (one blue, one white) down the screen. Now it won't go back on at all. Advice?

Well, I had a very similar issue but I traced it to an app. Some people who have gotten the blue screen have pulled their battery before it shut down and apparently that killed the phone. I say apparently because that's what they reported but never followed up on some advice.
Have you tried to see if BBerry link will see the phone?

Freezing and then blue screen every now and then

I have just bought a iMac G5 with iSight and every now and then the machine will freeze for 2-10 seconds, then go to a blue screen. Audio is only affected when it freezes and all background tasks seem to run without issue. The blue screen can stay up for about anywhere between 3 to 40 seconds.
Anyone seen this or have any idea?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Good time to check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% free disk space.*
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode

On my Toshiba Satellite Windows 7 laptop, when i started pc, I got blue screen of death. Tried many ways searched via google. Fortunately, Windows Boot Genius from http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Boot-Genius/3000-2094_4-75827488.html got me out of problem. The tool is secure without any data loss.

Blue Screens of Death - what can be the common thread

Whenever I use any PPC app on my system (running Snow Leopard 10.6.1) I get constant blue screen crashes. I've entered multiple bugs on Apple's bugreporter system about this.
Most of the crashes to date have occurred in a routine called UCKeyTranslate. Anyone can with ease determine if this is where your crash occurred. When you get the blue screen, open the Console App (in Utilities), make sure you have the list of files to examine on the left (Make sure toolbar button "Show Log List" is clicked on. Open the "System Diagnostic Reports" list, and see if there is a WIndowServer... entry at the bottom - if so click on it. About two lines down you should see something like this:
Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
0 ...ple.CoreServices.CarbonCore 0x00007fff8735d2a6 UCKeyTranslate + 464
The first line after "Crashed" is the key - here you can see the UCKeyTranslate. Now, I know this is where the windowserver crashed.
If you see that. now click on system.log - its under the FILES container in the left list. In the search field enter UCKeyTranslate - if you see many entries, then you have this Carbon problem. People not having crashes don't have these error messages.
There are tens of threads here on this problem - but no solutions. This begs the questions - why do some people get the problem, and others not?
If you are having the problem (or even if you are not), one thought is use of non-Apple keyboards. I have two USB keyboards I use (one at work, one home. [However, I have had the blue screens using the MacBook Pro in laptop mode too, but the system was "exposed" to my keyboards first.]
So, my questions:
- do you get crashes just using a laptop, where you NEVER plugged in a "foreign" keyboard?
- do you get crashes using just Apple keyboards?
- do you NOT get crashes using PPC apps (like Excel 2004 or Eudora) and have a "foreign" keyboard?
Anyone have a good idea of an additional question to add, go for it! The problematic systems MUST have some file or resource hidden somewhere that is causing the problem - if we can find it we can get a workaround. Apple does not seem to be in any hurry to provide a work around or a fix...
David

Although the WindowServer crashes have only happened to me when I have a Apple (non-extended, USB) keyboard connected, I occasionally (only rarely now) use
http://pfuca-store.stores.yahoo.net/haphackeylit1.html
(In fact, I have two HH keyboards and at least one Apple USB keyboard).
Is there a way to remove a keyboard driver from OS X 10.6.1 ?

Ipad Crashes with blue screen and now wont turn on

After updating the ios 8.2.1 any app I would use, a blue screen would come up covering the whole screen then crash, I would have to restart, and do the whole thing all over again. I then thought to try to reset all settings but as soon as I opened the Settings app, the blue screen would come up and I would have to restart the ipad again. And now after many attempts my ipad will now not switch on. I can't connect it to the PC, nothing appears. And nothing happens when charging it.

Hi there iroam_soljah,
I understand that your iPad is not responding when you attempt to power it up or charge it. You will want to use the following article for information on how to address this issue:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
