HT4650 My computer turns to a white screen. In the center it blinks a suitcase with a question mark in the center. I can not access my desktop. Is this a malware virus?

Hi, likely neither.
What shows for boot choices if you hold alt or option key on startup?
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

Appletv: downloaded but white screen only

Ive never had a problem renting films via appletv. I am trying to play two films,one completed download and one downloading in process. When I try to start film...white screen only.
The itunes store has no problem communicating on network as I can watch trailers,and stream content from my machines in network. But no love on playing my films!
Help.

Apple TV - HD Movie Rental - White Screen:
Short Answer -
Unplugging the Apple TV and then plugging it back in solved the problem.
Long Answer -
Shortly after the HD movie I rented began downloading, I received the prompt that I could begin watching the movie, so I pressed play. All I saw was a white screen. I then waited until the movie was 100% downloaded and tried again. Same result. I deleted the rental and then re-rented it, which resulted in a second download and the same white screen as before. In between the two downloads, I tried watching some HD movie trailers and experienced no difficulties. I also tried the communication dis-association thing but that was not successful either. I finally unplugged the Apple TV power cord, let it power down, then plugged it back in. The HD movie played with no further problems.
It looks like PC users get the "blue screen of death" and Apple TV users get a white one.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
>CURVEBALL!!!<
The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
Any other suggestions? Please help!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

I restarted my computer, but the screen only shows a flashing folder icon with a question mark. What to do?

It means that the system boot directory can't be found.

I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

Why Transaction iView Turns to a White Screen When Right Clicking?

Hi Experts,
We have created a transaction iView for the property tree in 2 systems: our system and the client's system. In the portal after we open the screen and right click on the screen, the whole screen turns to a white screen. But it only does that in the client's system not our system.
This is the error in the bottom of the page "Object doesn't support the property or method". Both systems use SAP NetWeaver 7.0 2004s. Has anyone come across this issue before? I would very appreciate any responses.
Thank you,
Don P.

Hi
You can try these checks on your client's system... looks like some browser issue..
I am assuming you are running on same IE versions on both the systems..
1. Try to open in some other browser( mozilla or chrome...) and see if it works..
2. Check this microsoft link also.

Equium A300D-16C turns on but the screen shows nothing/stays black

Hi there, I have a Toshiba Equium A300D-16C laptop.
It was fine until now...
When I press the power button, my laptop turns on but the screen remains black / off.
HDD indicator doesn't flash or anything ... ( in case this helps )
I've also tried to remove the battery, hold the power button for 30s and plug the power cord back in... Same thing laptop turns on but screen is black.
I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
I haven't changed anything inside my laptop or unscrewed it.
PS:
I quite often kept my laptop on the bed/pillow so it may have something to do with overheating or something.
How did I get to this point:
Yesterday my laptop was fine, there was nothing wrong with it... I switched it off at night but when I tried to switch it back on this morning that's where I faced this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Rejanu.

Hello
> I tried to connect my laptop to my PC's monitor using HDMI cable but no success... Laptop turned on but my pc's monitor was showing nothing.
Its very good that you have this test with an external monitor because so you could make sure its not related to internal monitor and its working properly.
Well, you have tried a lot so my personal opinion is its a serious hardware malfunction It could be related to mainboard or CPU in my opinion
I think such hardware diagnostic can only be done from an authorized service provider. I think you should contact the guys. They can help you to get rid of this problem :)

Apple won't replace an iPhone under warranty if the iPhone has been opened/tinkered with by you or by a 3rd party, but they may under Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price.
There is only one way to find out for certain.

My ipod turns on shows the apple logo, then turn into a white screen until it dies.

I was updating my ipod and it was almost complete, it restarted and the loading bar under the logo stopped. Then the ipod restarted again and now when it turns on it shows the apple logo, then turns into a white screen until it dies. After I charge it again it does the same thing automatically. Ive tried to restart and restore it but it wont work. What do I do? I've tried all the troubleshooting and nothing is helping. The screen is also cracked, this wasnt the cause because it worked fine for 3 months after it was cracked.

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

If not successful that indicates a hardware problem. It could be that the damage started with the drop that also caused the cracked screen and the damage progress to the problem you have now. An example would a cracked that has finally progressed to it causing the problem.

TS1367 My charger connects with my macbook with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery.

My charger connects with my computer with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery. The power source to keep it on is the power adapter and that it's "Not charging" on the battery settings. And my charger seems to charge other computers fine.
The part of my mac where the adapter (L-shaped, magnetic) attaches is a bit damaged - a small piece of the white case/body around the part where the adapter attaches is broken off, but that's just an outer damage.
I don't know what's wrong with my computer, and if anyone has had a similar experience or knows what's going on, it'd be tremendously helpful!
Thank you!!

Hi Christopher,
Doubtful an upgrade would fix a hardware issue. If you are thinking of upgarding to Lion, best to do all necessary maintenance first.
Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
