Display turns white

I have 2 apple 24 displays on my 09 Mac Pro.
About 5 times now the left display will suddenly turn white and the machine locks up forcing me to do a hard reboot.

Final Cut Pro - Two Video Cards - Display Turns White

MacPro Xeon 2.0GHz
3 Gig Ram
Two nVidia 7300 Video Cards
Two CRT Monitors and One HDTV
I have two CRT monitors attached to my original nVidia card. I recently installed a second video card and attached a third monitor to my DVI output (on the second video card)
I tell Final Cut Pro to display video on third monitor as full screen output. I can see my 720p (or 480p) display. When I press play, the entire screen turns White. (I've tried a CRT monitor, and my LCD HDTV via HDMI to DVI).
If I remove my Right CRT monitor from my graphics card and attach my HDTV (giving me one monitor and one HDTV) I can get full screen 720p play back. But I don't want to edit with one monitor! I am wanting to have my two monitor editing setup with the third monitor as my full screen display (720p).
Why does three monitors result in a white frame for playback? Do I need to configure something?
Help!

Help....Ipod display turned white.

While my son was using his brand new 30g ipod, the display turned "all fuzzy, the colors seem to invert and then it turned white."
It may have been exposed to sunshine for a little while.
Is there something I can do to fix it?

You can try this, but quite frankly I'd be returning this iPod for an exchange.

OS X Mavericks: display randomly turning white/brown/grey [no resolution issues]

Hey folks,
I discovered a very strange problem the last few days while using the internal and an external VGA Monitor on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010, 8GB).
I'm running on OS X Mavericks with the latest updates and the system runs pretty smooth.
What I discovered is as follows:
Using any VGA monitor that I own, sometimes both (internal and external) display turn white (or grey or brown, just displaying a solid colored screen). This occurs with literally every display I used externally and doesn't occur while just using the Macbook Pro without an external display. This didn't happen before on Mountain Lion, neither did it happen the first weeks on Mavericks (I've been using it since it's released). After this happening, I have to do a forced reboot. This issue does occur randomly within the daily usage.
Furthermore, I don't have any resolution issues as many user claimed about this already while running OS X Mavericks.
From looking at the system I can tell that the RAM is not damaged (also because this doesn't happen while using the MB without external display). I also tried other RAM, issue remains reproducible.
I haven't found any solution on the internet, so I decided to post my problem here.
Hope there is anybody out there who might be able to help me out.
Yours sincerely

White Stripes/Display Turning Off

Last night I noticed a bunch of white stripes flicker for about a quarter of a second on my display. This happened multiple times. I shut it down with no problems.
Today I had no problems until everything froze. I could move the mouse, but it would not change from a text cursor. I manually shut it down.
I turned it back on, after a few minutes I had the same issue.
I turned it off manually, unplugged the power for about a minute, plugged it back in and turned it on. After a few minutes the white stripes flickered. I decided to back up everything. After about 10 minutes, during the backup process, the screen went black. I could feel that the computer was still on, but the display was black. I manually turned it off.
I have now been on for about 30 minutes with no problems. The computer was very hot when the display went black. Is it possible that this is an overheating problem?
Any suggestions?

The iBook has a seperate display dimming (display turns off) and sleep mode timers. Go into the system preferences>energy saver to set these preferences. When your display turns off you should be able to reawaken it by pressing a key on the keyboard. Turning it off is not the best solution. If the problem happens while you are still using it or it doesn't awaken when you hit a key then you may need to post here again.

Your statement makes no sense at all. Please clarify.

My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!!

My phone keeps displaying a white screen with the apple, then occasionally flicks to a blue screen, but won't turn on! HELP!! I have had it on charge all day and have tried plugging it in to my computer to sync.

Restore your software using iTunes.
Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
You should be able to restore your backup file after this procedure. If the problem comes back, you either have corruption in your backup file, or a serious hardware problem that should be looked at by a tech at the Genius Bar (make an appointment first).

Our i{POD touch is frozen, and displays a white screen. I can't turn it off, and it is unresponsive when trying the on/off, sleep/wake buttons.

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:

Iphone 3gs shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines

I have an iPhone 3GS. It It shutdowns random, it fails to turn on, it displays a white screen with colors lines.

I have the 3GS and it recently started the RSD. At first I thought it was just the batter not holding a charge and being lower than what the display showed. However, even when fully charged the RSD's occur mostly when loading either Apps or web pages in Safari.
I have not experienced the white screen and colored line, yet apparently. Is this the logic board like in the MacBook's?

Satellite A300-202 - External display turned a strange color

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300-202 with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and after upgrade from vista to windows 7, my external display turned a strange color, seemed to lose the red color. Never show the white color, in which should show the white color shows the color blue.
I have uninstalled and installed again the graphic card drivers and update the new drivers but dont solved this trouble. My external monitor it's ok because I have tried with other laptop and don't have this trouble. I have also tried my laptop with other monitor and have the same trouble.
Anybody ever had this problem, someone who can help me?
Thanks,

Hi Xardas,
Yes I have problems only with the external monitor.
I tried both. Now I have the new beta version to the windows 7 64bits, downloaded from the amd/ati site, but I have tried also with the version available in the toshiba drivers page to my A300-202, and had the same problem.
Yes I have installed the new version of the BIOS too.
Thanks,

Hi I was using whatsapp on my iPhone5.I was not able go to the main menu by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black

I was not able go to the main menu from whatsapp by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black & white. how can i fix it?

Hello monicaa003,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone display turned black and white after holding down the Home button for 2 seconds, first try pressing the Home button again to go to the main menu (Home screen.)
For reference, holding down the Home button for 2 seconds will trigger Siri if that feature is enabled:
About Siri - Apple Support
If pressing the Home button doesn't return you to the main menu, try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Additionally, if Whatsapp is not responding or working as expected, see the troubleshooting steps at this link:
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Best Regards,

My iPhone 3G is suddenly displaying a white screen... otherwise, it's unresponsive.

My iPhone 3G is suddenly displaying a white screen... otherwise, it's unresponsive. I can't turn it off/on. It just charged all night and the alarm woke me up. I updated my contacts, check my email, then the white screen. I'd appreciate help with this. Thx.

My problem has been resolved thanks to suggestions! :-) I first tried to reboot by simultaneously holding the power and home buttons. That didn't work initially so, I tried the second suggestion which was to resync from iTunes. After that, the white screen went away but, the iPhone was completely dark and unresponsive. I then tried the reboot again and this time, it worked! Thanks again for the help! :-)

Dropped my phone and now my display is white

I dropped my phone (the one and only time!) and now the display is white. I took the battery out, waited a little while and popped it back it. Usually, you have to then turn the phone on and wait for it to boot up, but it just goes back to being a white screen as soon as the battery is back in. I've had this phone for just over 2 weeks and I really want to fix this!

IMac display turns to greyscale.

I accidently at one time clicked pop-up menu with two options: Black and white or greyscale, greydcale. The display turned to greyscale. I tried colorsync. I reload OX (at that time full colors came out). Then when the OXreload done, it turns back to greyscale again. Please help.

If your on 10.6 go to: Apple > System Preferences > Universal Access > Display and uncheck Use grayscale.

Transparant area turns white in 8bit png format

Hello Experts,
When transperant is set in photoshop then exported to png 24bit then when opened in MS paint(which supporst only 8bit) the transperacy turns white.
When transperant is set in illustrator then exported to png 24bit then when opened in paint, the transperancy is shown in black;.This behaviour is what i need with the pngs that are created in photoshop. I really dontknow why this transperancy behaves differently with PS and Ilustrator.
Could anyone tell why transperancy set in PS turns white in 8bit format(in MSPaint). This is because, My touch screen device will show pngs in 24bit and 16bit. And in some cases my device has to display pngs in 8 bit also. When pngs are shown in 8bit, i am able to see white patches where transperancy is given. These pngs are mainly created in PS. But we do not find any issue with pngs created in Illustrator.
Could anyone tell whats going wrong wih PS.
If i get answer for this, i would be able to find the root cause of the issues that we face in our project.
Thanks.
Regards,
Ashok

I can only guess at what the difference may be between PS and AI. The PNG file format has some ancillary chunks, one of which is the default background color. Ancillary chunks can be ignored by the opening program if it chooses. It is possible that AI declares the background to be black and PS does not. As far as I can tell, the PNG default background color chunk is independent of what the background color is set to in Photoshop when you save an image with transparency from PS.
One work around is to place the PS image in Illustrator and save from there. You may have good reasons to use Paint, but I've found other problems in having Paint digest png files and never use Paint. Png files with transparency written by PS seem to work fine in other programs.
