How can I fix a blank blue screen?

How can I get passed a blank blue screen?

There are several things you could try, as indicated by those mentioned in this Apple Support
article about how to resolve startup issues, and perform disk maintenance. Read through them:
•Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
If you have the install-restore DVD for the system running in the Mac, that may help to start up
from and see if Disk Utility's repair disk could help. Of course, if there is a problem in hardware
a replacement hard disk drive may be necessary because these parts wear out.
A slightly different set of symptoms appear other Support articles about startup issues, but some
of the ideas are the same when attempting to resolve the cause at a user-level. If issues are too
difficult, you may choose to locate an authorized Apple service provider to have a professional
diagnostic test performed to determine if other things are behind the problematic Mac.
•Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
•Your Mac won't start up in Mac OS X (Mac OS X Panther 10.3.9 or earlier) - Apple Support
(for later 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 etc systems, see 'Gray screen appears on startup' above)
Links in these support pages (blue) are similar:
•OS X Mountain Lion: If you see a blue screen at startup
•OS X Mavericks: If you see a blue screen at startup
If you have an Intel-based Mac, some of the issues may be different than those with PowerPC
hardware; so it helps to be sure you have correctly identified the computer & its working OS X.
Good luck & happy computing!

How can I resolve issue with Blue screen feature?

I am able to use the green screen feature ( using a green screen background), but when I use a blue screen background and I use the blue screen feature, it does not work. The background on the video with the blue screen turns RED and I see that video and not the selected background with the special effects.
any one has seen this before?

How can I fix my flashing white screen? Does it need repair?

I left my ipod touch to charge and when I went to get it I clicked on the home button and the screen was white. I googled about this white screen and I kept hearing about this "white screen of death", and saw alot of videos. Well how my iPod touch looks, well its not exactly white but rather is somewhat white as if its flashing white. I can vaguely see the ipod icons, and can play pandora or other apps but I can't see a clear screen because of the flashing white screen. I was wondering if maybe it has to do with internal things I need to get fixed like the lcd, or the digitizer. Is there anything I can do, or do I ttake it in to get it fixed? I tried clicking the home button and the power button at the same time but yes the apple icon appears but also the flashing white comes out. I dont know what to do.
Here are some pictures

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Love it when you all Electrical Engineers do nothing to help this guy out except trolling another guy's posts with irrelevant information to the thread in-cause.
What did you want me to tell him?
That the in Li-polymer batteries, movements of ion between the negative and positive electrodes causes heat. That the enviromental effects and conditions in which his battery is kept might affect it?
Wanted to explain him what battery cycles are?
Sometimes people understand it easier if you put it easier.
As Einstein said it, make it simpler as possible, but not easier.
@In regard to the thread starter, it sounds to me that your Touchscreen is broken. It probably needs changing.

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Images in my FrameMaker 10-sourced Robohelp Web Help project are turning out as blank JPEGS appearing as blank spaces in the final output. How can I fix this?

I'm attempting to create online help sourced from a FrameMaker 10 book using Robohelp 9 and Web Help (primary layout).
The text is interspersed with numeorus small icons which, in the FrameMaker documents, are .bmp images inserted into anchored frames in the lines of text.
Most of these icons were imported by reference into the FrameMaker book's chapters. Some were copied from another FrameMaker book and pasted into the present book.
Many of these images are turning out blank in the finished Help project.
Robohelp seems to convert these images into JPEGS.
In the source FrameMaker book, the images which appear OK in the Help project have Object Properties including: Facets: FrameVector JPEG ... Referenced File: No File
The images which appear blank have different object properties there: Facets: DIB ... Referenced File: (address of the image's source file)
How can I fix this and make all of the images appear in the Online Help?

Sorry, Jeff. I missed the key word in your instructions. Well, I did the import and still no luck. I'm getting the exact same results with the same images. (In some cases, I'm even getting hidden conditional text from the FM document body showing up in the image's frame instead of the image! See below.) This is bizarre behavior, but it's not new with the import. It is happening both in the linked and imported WebHelp with the same exact images. (Just another piece to complicate the puzzle.) So we have some jpeg images that are blank, and a few that are glitchy. From what I can tell, the commonality, besides the fact that all these new images are in jpeg format instead of gif format, is that all the blank and glitchy images are in a text inset. I'm beginning to think maybe RH just doesn't support text insets at all.
Arnis, I'll have to ask my colleague how she created the images next week when she's back from vacation. I have no clue if there are any differences between the jpegs and why some are showing up correctly. What do you mean by "compression type or level?" Are you asking about the resolution (high, medium, low) she chose when saving the images, or which program she used to do the screen capture and editing? (We have Adobe Photoshop CS5 and FM 11).
My next step is to copy-paste all the content from the text insets into my FM document (in the book I am linking) and re-render to see if that solves the problem. It will make single-sourcing impossible because I'll have to copy-paste the new content and images my colleague creates into my document each time we do an update, but oh well.
Here is an example of a glitchy image in RH:
And here is what it looks like in FM:
So bizarre!
