Error 523 and white screen

Help - I'm writing on behalf of my mother in law. She has a blackberry Curve and it has a white loading screen once this comes off it goes to the main screen then after 2 mins an app error 523 comes up and then restarts. This keeps repeating a vicious circle.
I hope someone can help!!
Thanks

Hi
The device wil need the operating system reloading.
This what I did to completely wipe my BB. I wrote this before starting and printed it off.
If your device is functioning, perform a backup now if you haven't already done so saving the file to a place and in a name that you can easily locate on computer.
I then uninstalled DTM and then deleted all other references to BB/Rim in Windows Explorer thus removing the OS for the BB from the computer in order to ensure that the version I would reinstall would be a brand new downloaded version.
Get the latest Desk Top Software
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/?CPID=OTC-DSKTPSW&cp=OTC-DSKTPSW
and install it on the computer.
Get the correct latest version of the OS
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
and save it to computer.
To erase all the data on your BlackBerry device, complete the following steps. This option is available with
BlackBerry Device Software 3.8 and later.
1. In the device Options, click Security.
If you are using BlackBerry Device Software 4.1, click Security Options > General Security.
2. Click the trackwheel and select Wipe Handheld.
3. Click Continue.
4. Type “blackberry”. All the data on the BlackBerry device is erased.
On some new versions of BlackBerry software, the menu navigation is slightly different.
1. Go to Options.
2. Select Security Options.
3. Select General Settings.
4. Click the Menu key.
5. Select Wipe Handheld.
6. Click Continue.
7. Type “blackberry”. All the data on the BlackBerry device is erased.
Launch the new Desk Top Software on the computer
1. Connect your device to your computer.
2. On the home screen of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software, click Update my device.
3. Do one of the following:
* To download an update, click Get update.
* To view other available versions of the BlackBerry Device Software, click View other versions. If applicable, click another version. Click Install.
Ensure the new OS is the one you prevously downloaded.
Do not disconnect the device until the whole process is completed and the device has rebooted.
After 10 minutes reboot again by removing the battery whilst powered-on and leave it out for a couple of minutes.
Leave it again for 10 minutes. You should now have a fully functioning BB!

"App Error 523" on White Screen

I have plugged my phone into the charger after it had fully ran out of battery, only to watch the handset turn on and inform me of 4 text messages and 20 missed calls seconds before the white screen with the messaged "App Error 523" appears.
After choosing to reset the same happens only the amount of missed calls has went up by 4. I have tried on various occasions throughout the day and it just keeps addin 4 calls each time before returning to the white screen.
I have searched the Forums already and do not use Desktop Manager, therefore have no current back up.
Can you suggest how I remedy this quickly without a full factory reset losing all the information as it is a works phone?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil

Ok, don't get ahead of me and do something you will regret first, like losing your contacts.
FIRST, make sure you have the Desktop Software installed, and backup.
Make sure the backup completes.
Watch where you save the backup file ("somename.ipd" will be the file format, most likely with today's date on it.
Once you are sure you have backed up, then you want to wipe the device and reload the operating system.
You will lose all third party applications, but those can be re-downloaded from the original source.
You will need to use BBSAK or JL_Cmder to wipe the device and subsequently load the OS to the device. Follow the instructions here:

Ipad error 37 and white screen HELP!!

Hi,
I have an Ipad 1 not jailbroken and using itunes on a windows xp machine.
Two days ago I had a notification on my ipad showing an update for the ios was available it started to download wirelessly. When I can back to check the device later it was showing a blank white screen. I have connected to the computer which detects the ipad in recovery mode and attempts to complete a restore. Every time this throws up the error 37.
I have disabled all antivirus software tried the update on three machines and two different wireless providers and still returns the same error. It goes fine up until about 80% and verifying firmware with apple servers then throws the error up.
I have tried everything DFU, restore, ammending windows hosts file and nothing.
The ipad is 2 months outside of it's warranty however it was working perfectly up until apples update
Any help will be appreciated

Hi,
Well the apple store was less than useless! They said that it was a hardware failure that apparently occurred by coincidence at the same time as the apple update. the level of customer service is appalling.
In the end after wasting my time with the so called genius staff. They told me without paying 158 to repair it there was no way of fixing it.
So i came home downloaded the latest version of redsnow, jailbroke it, you have to have the most recent redsnow which is a tethered((( jailbreak (if its not the most recent redsnow i was getting the firmware 6000 ms error.
Jailbroke pad and works perfect now, still won't restore through itunes but it works and I've now discovered the benefits of jailbreaking the pad anyway.
will never buy an apple product again though customer service is shocking

Black and White Screen

My Iphone 4 has been shutting down to a black dos like screen with White letters.
Debugger messag: panic\
OS Version: not yet set
Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 13.0 Sunday August 19
I b
boot version: i Bott-1537.4.18
panic: we are hanging here...
This has been going on since I've tried to upgrade OS6. It would go to this black screen but eventually come back on with a drained battery.
ITunes error showed to restore phone back to factory settings so I did but it only worked for 4 days. Now it's been down for at least 15 hours.
Any one see this issue before?

Thank you. There is not an apple store near by. I need my phone for work. My warranty has expired and 13 month into contract is too early for the 18 month early upgrade. I reset the device and plugged it in to Itunes and restored it again. The part that confuses me and perhaps why i didn't work last time is...Restore to new phone or Restore to my iphone back up so I always choose my phone but perhaps this doesn't bring it back to factory settings. I just don't want to loose my contacts. It is working now but it's probably just a matter of time before it the black and white screen come back up. I think it;s a system update issue. I'm going to call Apple.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you already delete the ipsw software file on your computer to make iTunes download a new copy from the Apple server to restore your firmware from?
Also try to restore without using the existing backup, it might contain damaged files causing the behavior of your ipod.
iwps files are stored here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
7 and Vista: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

I think we need more clarification.
What do you mean by "download"? Only updates are available as downloads, the System software has to be installed from a DVD.

Color switches to a black and white screen after login

iMac 700MHZ Graphite 10.3.9 color issue. When I am logging in the screen is in color but after login when it switches to my desktop the color also switches to a black and white screen. The other user of this computer does not have any problem with the color on his desktop. Has anyone run into this problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Go to System Preferences>Universal Access, the 'Seeing' pane and uncheck 'use greyscale'.

My iPad wont turn on, its black screen then i press home power buttons together and white screen with black apple logo come out after 5 seconds black "lighten" screen comes out and its stuck just like that! Whats the problem?

HI
this happened today suddenly while i was working on my iPad it kicked my out of the app that i was using then white screen with black apple logo came out, i thought it was an ordinary thing cause this happens all the time with me, but this time it refused to turn on! After the white screen with the black logo vanished i wad waiting for my lock screen but no, a black screen showed up just like that! And could tell it was black "lighten" screen i tried more than 10 times to do the home+power thing but it wont work, whats wrong with my ipad!

If the battery is completely drained it may take some time while on the charger before the iPad responds. Plug the iPad into the charger that came with it and plug that into a good wall outlet. Wait one hour. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If it doesn't start up make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. They will examine your iPad and explain your options.

IPOD and white screen asking in different languages

Hello everyone
My ipod has been acting up for the pass few months and now i have had enough.
When my ipod is connected to my fm tuner, when it is time to take the tuner off, it gives me a white screen saying in different languages to connect to computer and restore. I have restored my ipod about 20 times in the past months. I work on linux and have a vitual windows xp
is my ipod broken or what

Hopefully the battery has leak after long disused.
Recharge the iPod battery for at least 4 hours, normally it would take 30 minutes of recharge before the screen comes to live.
Disconnect the iPod, safely, after charging.
If your battery is good and can recharge fully.
Hard Reset the iPod - Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Select your preferred language.
Connect your iPod back to the Mac, and see if it is recognised by iTunes or Finder
Good Luck! and you will need it when syncing your iPod.

Gray/black and white screen

can any one help me to fix this problem:
My monitor is displaying a black.white/gray screen, and I'm not really able to read the buttons or other things on the screen to an extent, and I don't really know the cause or the solution.

The monitor adapter can only hook up the five important signals one way, or your screen would have color substitutions, or the picture would roll or tear. The five signals are:
Red (intensity)
Green (intensity)
Blue (intensity)
Horizontal Sync (start/end row of dots)
Vertical Sync (start/end screen)
The rest of the signals manipulated by the adapters send a code that may restrict the resolutions available, but not the colors and not black & white vs color.
I have seen this problem in Blue & White G3s I updated to 10.3 from 9.2. I had purchased off-brand ATI PCI cards for second displays on these Macs, but not ones as modern as those that shipped in the Blue & White G3. They worked fine in OS 9. But then I did the update to OS X 10.3.
Those black & white screens sure are ugly. And unless you have seen the Monitors Preference pane so many times you can see it in your sleep, it is very difficult to change the settings. When I replaced the display cards with genuine cards pulled from Blue & White G3s, the problem cleared immediately.

Macbook monitor is a shaking black and white screen

My macbook monitor screen keeps going to a black and white shaking screen and the only way to get it to stop is power off and back on. Soon after I power it back on, the screen goes back to the black and white shaking screen. Any idea?

Unfortunately protected content is blocked from Airplay using Apple's DVD Player (same for playing back DRM protected video in iTunes or Quicktime, but you are better off using Home Sharing for that).
For this reason the OS does not allow the Airplay algorithm to grab the screen displaying 'protected video' - annoyingly even unportected home made DVDs will exhibit this.
Try using something like VLC Player instead.
This was such an obvious use for Airplay but the movie studios probably insisted.

Flashing apple logo and white screen on I Phone 3GS

Hi, while updating all apps via the itunes store, my phone has crashed. The phone was unconnected and updating on 3G, which I have never had any problems doing before. It is constantly flashing the apple logo followed by a white screen then back to black screen again. The white screen sometimes has a black vertical line down the middle. It's very aesthetically pleasing. Can't turn it off, can't reset it. Not visible in itunes or my computer, help!
I've tried connecting it to 2 different PC's, it does not appear on either. I don't get the red slider if I try to power it off. If I hold both buttons for 10 seconds to reset, it just restarts flashing the same again.

sounds like you're having a hardware failure. You should bring it in to Apple for evaluation
