HElp!! Red screen of death!!

I have an iPhone 5s. i was out today and the battery died. I plugged it into the car charger. When it awoke all I could get was the error message that the phone did not shut down properly. i tried holding down the power button, but nothing happened. Now, I have a red screen. What do I do?

Press and hold both the power and the home button for approx 20 seconds
Do you still have warranty on it? You can take it to Apple Store

  • How do I fix the red screen of death issue?

    iPad Air, 13 mo. old:  working fine yesterday, plugged it in to charge (left it on) and about 8 hrs later I went to use it.  When I opened the case, I had the red screen of death.  No error messages, can't see any of the icons.  just red screen.  I finally got it to turn off using the home and off button.  turning back on goes right to red screen.  Attempted multiple times to restore using iTunes.  Each time it gets stuck in "waiting for iPad to respond"?  Anyone have a fix?

    Hello konagirl64,
    It may help to put your iPad into recovery mode prior to restoring.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    Raids do not really help benchmarks unless you considure hard drive benchmarks. Most games and benchmark proggies load everything they need prior to running. So unless you have a low memory condition that forces the game or benchmark to use the swap file the only place that you would typically see any gain in speed is during the loading of the game or benchmark. That is hard to quantify other than through experience.
    Where a raid shines is in file tranfer situations. When you create and save large files such as movies, Reading or copying large files, defragging, or any other massive file effort. Overall the gains can be very small compaired to the rest of what you do with your system. However that is not to belittle what a Raid does. It does give a finer sheen to the overall computers operations and will make sluggish file transfers seem much more bearable overall.

  • Red screen of death

    Ok, so basically today i had my iphone 5s in my friend's food bag, then i took it out and i noticed that my phone had restarted itself for no apparent reason. then it was fine, then later on in the day, i realised that my phone was hot and it was on the apple logo. i didn't know what to do as it just stayed there so i pressed the lock and home button, then i got the blue screen of death. obviously i was freaked out as my phone is only a month or so old. then i've kept trying to reboot it, and now i constantly get the red screen of death, then it will switch back to the apple logo, and this will keep on happening. i cant charge my phone without it turning on, and getting extremly hot. i have tried to restore my iphone through itunes, which i did the first time but this just went back to the apple logo and red screen of death. then i tried to do it a couple times again, then just won't work! i'm honestly really unhappy, and i want to go to the apple store... but if i'm not on insurance am i still able to go it? PLEASE HELP!

    The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

  • VIA Raid 0: Red screen of Death - fatal error during boot sequence

    I have been using two Maxtor 120GB SATA drives in a RAID 0 array on my Athlon 64 MSI MB.  I have occasionally had messages saying "Hard disk error. Can't find drive 0".  I've assumed that this has been a driver issue because if I power down, wait a while I can reboot and continue without issue (other than chkdsk running during boot up).  However after the last such error, when I next tried to reboot I got an error message as the RAID was initialising.  The error message was in a red box on a black screen and stated that there was a fatal error and that the raid relationship and all HHD would be destroyed if I continued.  Naturally I switched off at this point, but on rebooting got exactly the same message.  Eventually, as I have backups, I continued past this point and sure enough the RAID had gone.  So I rebuilt the raid array and everything seems to be OK.
    However, I'd forgotten that my MSI DVD burner was incapacitated due to a failed firmware update so had temporaril;y replace it with a DVD rom drive to get access to my backups.  BUT the drive won't read all my backup discs, in particular it won't read the Drive C backups .
    Has anyone else had this RAID erro.  Is it a driver error or is it a dsik failing (even though they were new at Christmas).

  • Red screen in Captivate

    I am getting red screen while previewing a full motion
    recorded movie and also after published the movie. the movie is
    quite lengthy with 90 Slides, i getting the red screen from 25th
    Slide. Even, i am using a high configuration computer for
    recording. please advise...

    Hi Powered by India and welcome to our community
    Sorry, but the &quot;Red Screen of Death&quot; (RSOD)
    is a phenomenon we see when recording longer movies using Full
    Motion Recording (FMR). Basically it is an indication that the
    computer resources have been exhausted. I believe it's an issue
    with the Flash Player. What happens is that as each full motion
    segment plays, it is loaded into memory. The next segment plays and
    is loaded into memory. But the first wasn't released. It's still
    loaded! After several of these occur (for you it seems to happen 25
    slides into the movie) all the memory is used up and no room exists
    for loading more. Hence the RSOD.
    The only way around it as far as I know, is to create smaller
    projects, then link them together. You may also wish to avoid using
    the Full Motion type of recording, particularly for projects that
    are very long.
    Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

  • How do I fix red screen

    Fix red screen of death?

    Hello there, Psansburn.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides great steps for troubleshooting your issue:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    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 aboutrestoring 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.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • White Screen of Death Questions [PLEASE HELP!]

    If someone actually cares about my issue, they will read all of the following. Let's see how many of you are out here and how many just want to answer simple short questions for reputation.
    Okay, so I've ran into my first ever iPod Touch issue. I've never owned an iPhone, but I have had an iPod in the past and know a bit about them. I'm going to be 100% honest and I need a serious answer because I'm upset and angry. If anyone can be bothered to read the following, THANK YOU. If anyone could help me out in any way by giving me suggestions/tips and/or a solution, THANK YOU. But anything that can help is appreciated.
    I had my board shorts on when this ocurred. I went to the toilet, doing my own business. I had my iPod Touch in my bank pocket which went to about half way down my thigh. The iPod Touch at the time was facing away from my thigh. Pulling down my pants, the iPod Touch hit the tiled floor. It hardly even hit the floor, all I heard was a little click and I realised it was my iPod. It was flat at the time, I picked it up and pressed the Home button immediately to ensure it was okay. It sort of lit up like a white background, but had a very low opacity. Since it was flat, I assumed it was normal.
    Putting my iPod on charge right after my toilet break, I waited and waited for it to charge quickly enough for me to see the screen as I was a little worried not having seen that faded screen before. When the Apple logo was to appear, it gave me a lit up white screen. I was so confused as there were no marks AT ALL on my screen or any other part of the iPod.
    NOTE: My iPod is still under warranty.
    Did my research and came to the conclusion that it was the infamous 'White Screen of Death'. Where do I go from here? I have no clue!
    I have important information such as a To Do list and my Contacts within the iPod. I NEED to retrieve this information. Is there any way I can do this?
    I can still use the iPod, as if the screen were showing. Sounds are working, but there is just a blank, lit up white screen. Sometimes when I hold the Home button, On/Off button & the Volume Up buttoon all at the same time for ~10-20 seconds, the Apple logo comes up as if the screen was all fixed. 5 Seconds later, it goes all funny as if there were faded white lines and a faded white background but still being able to see the logo/screen. When the iPod loads, it just goes back to the lit up white screen.
    Here's another odd thing to this, when I leave my iPod Touch sitting in a spot remotely, without touching it for a few hours, when I come back to it and hit the Home button, the iPod will begin to work fine as if nothing ever happened. No white screen, no nothing, just simply use it as I wish. I can even sometimes lock it, and then unclock it again with it still showing perfectly. However, when I tend to click the On/Off button after this happens, or if I just continue to use it for ~1 minute, it will eventually do the same as the above paragraph in second last sentence.
    This may be important:
    The iPod charges fine.
    The iPod can be used with my computer and iTunes fine.
    To sum it all up, everything can be done, including using the iPod, but with a lit up white screen.
    Here are some questions I have for you guys:
    Will Apple cover this in my warranty?
    If they won't, what should I do?
    How much would a replacement screen cost?
    Should I attempty to open my iPod if they do not cover it by warranty? (I have not attempted as I don't want to void anything).
    What could be the cause and why?
    How can I retrieve that important information? (Contacts & To Do List)
    Have you got any suggestions/tips for me?
    I need this resolved guys. I'm very upset and angry over the whole situation. If a little thump on the tiles like that (it's not like I dropped it or anything) can damage the screen that much, then this devices from Apple can't be very reliable. All I'm asking for is some genuine service/help to resolve my issue. If this can be done, I will be one VERY happy person.
    Daniel

    Will Apple cover this in my warranty?
    As stated above it is not covered by the warranty as it will be deemed accidental damage.  You can try explaining what happened to somebody at the Genius Bar and they may cut you some slack and replace it at no cost.  They might not though as Apple has started to really come down hard on eliminating replacing accidentally damaged iPods at no cost.
    If they won't, what should I do?
    Again, bring it into them anyways and explain what happened.  You have nothing to lose either way.  Otherwise, you really only have 2 other options.  Send it to a third party service center to have them take a look at it and possibly repair the iPod, or do some studying online and learn how to open up the device yourself and take a look.  There are some excellent step-by-step repair guides at http://www.ifixit.com/.
    How much would a replacement screen cost?
    This depends on where or how you have it repaired.  Here is Apple's repair pricing guide.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Third party repair centers will cost less and they'll actually swap out the bad part rather than just replace the entire iPod as Apple does.
    Should I attempty to open my iPod if they do not cover it by warranty? (I have not attempted as I don't want to void anything).
    If you have a warranty on it still, I wouldn't quite yet.  Take it to your local Apple store as explained above.  Otherwise, I would only if you feel comfortable working with small electronics and consider yourself handy with them. 
    What could be the cause and why?
    As stated already, it could be a damaged or loose LCD ribbon cable or the LCD screen itself is damaged.  As to what exact component, there is no way to tell.
    How can I retrieve that important information? (Contacts & To Do List)
    Make a backup of the device in iTunes before taking or sending it in for service or before you decide to open it up (if you do happen to go that route).  See here what is included in the backup of the device.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    If you get a new or replacement device you can restore it from that backup.
    Have you got any suggestions/tips for me?
    As I have already stated numerous times, try taking it into your local Apple Store and see if there is anything can do for you such as swap it out.  Remember that they are not obligated to do so since the damage is technically accidental.  Be kind and polite when explaning what happened. You never know what could happen!

  • Ipod + itunes = blue screen of death & reboot - HELP PLEASE!

    I'll try to make a long story as short as possible here.
    i've had a 40G ipod for over a year and a half now. back in the beginning things were working fine. with the size i hadn't done any syncing for a long long time. however, the ipod crapped out so i got a replacement from the apple store.
    after registering the new ipod i was having trouble syncing. it would upload a few hundred songs and then freeze or cause a reboot. i uninstalled the ipod software as well, installed the latest itunes software - over the previous version, installed the latest ipod updater software and restored the ipod.
    again, i was able to sync for brief periods in 3 different tries - amassing a whole six hundred and something songs. after each try itunes said syncing was complete (but not even close - had just over 2000 mp3s looking to sync up). unbelievably things got worse. now, if the ipod is docked and itunes is running - regardless of which is done first - my pc will get the blue screen of death and reboot itself.
    also, without itunes and the ipod docked, it shows up as an i: drive, but when i try to browse it though my computer, it locks up the machine and shows nothing.
    any help out there is GREATLY appreciated!
    here are my specs:
    - ipod 40 Gig, with click wheel and four buttons below the screen with
    dock & firewire cable
    - pc running windows xp pro
    - firewire card with 3 ports
    - ipod & itunes software located on 120G c: drive
    - mp3 collection located on secondary 160G d: drive
    - 3/4 gig of ram
    p.s. i have mcafee running and i've tried everything with it on as well as off. doesn't seem to make a difference.
    also, i have checked a TON of posts on apple.com as well as other discussion groups and couldn't find an answer.

    hi Douglas!
    first promise me that you'll back up your data. having your PC shut down in non-standard ways (for
    b any
    reason) increases your risk of file corruption and putting scruffy spots on your hard drive.
    Now some basic first aid. download some fresh definitions and do some vigorous virus and spyware scans. run your favorite hard-disk checking utility. do a disk cleanup.
    now let's follow up on the blue screen of death. Perversely, i've started to become pleased when people report BSODs under these circumstances. we can wring a lot of information from a BSOD error message. there's also usually something concrete to go on in the error logs.
    (1) what BSOD error number and message are you getting? here's a reference:
    http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
    (2) squeeze your error logs for all they're worth. right-click on "My Computer", select manage. click on your event viewer. click on your application and system logs, and look for errors and warnings happening at roughly the same time as your crashes.
    click on the relevant warnings to see if you can find any commonalities in the errors/warnings. follow up the Help and Support links to see if you can find any suggested "User action" or relevant MS KB documents. (sometimes these things are there, sometimes they aren't.)
    good luck! keep us posted.
    love, b

    Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
    Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
    After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
    You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
    Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.

  • Blue screen of death with HDD Hardware Test error on iMac HELP!!

    My iMac is not starting up.  It just get the blue screen of death during startup.  It is a 2.66 mghz duo with 2gb 800 ram.  I was able to get the Hardware test to run and got an error of 4M0T/2/40000004: HDD-1560.  I am assuming it is an error with the internal hard drive since I have nothing else hooked up to the mac other than the keyboard and mouse right now.  Does this code mean my hard drive is completely shot?  Any help would be appreciated.

    4M0T/2/40000004: HDD-1560.  
    Either failing or failed   
    You can have Apple replace the drive at a nearby Apple store or an Apple certified repair shop.

    restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow 
    these steps: 
    Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. 
    If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer 
    for any Windows updates you might need.
    If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware 
    or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. 
    If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart 
    your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then

    I would just like to follow up on deusexmachina's solution and explain how to delete that file without booting from the drive.
    Boot from a Windows 7 disc/USB and after it loads press SHIFT+F10 to bring up the command line.  From here, you can navigate to the "C:\Windows\System32\codeintegrity\" directory and delete the "bootcat.cache" file and reboot.
    If you do not have Windows 7 bootable media to boot from then you can download the ISO from here and burn to a disc or use a USB drive:
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-windows-7-s​p1-iso-from-digital-river/
    Another option would be to pull the physical drive from the computer and access it using another desktop or laptop to manually delete the "bootcat.cache" file as well.
    Afterwards, please upgrade to Service Pack 1, so this issue cannot repeat itself.
