How to fix the Blue Screen of Death for iPhone 5S?

I have an iPhone 5S and I never got water on it, dropped it, or inflicted any kind of damage upon it. But one day when I turned it on it kept getting this blue screen and then restarting CONSTANTLY. This is referred to as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). Does anyone know how to actually fix this problem besides just restoring the phone (I already tried that.)

Hi ..
If you restored the iPhone to factory settings and it still won't startup correctly, make a reservation at a Genius Bar.

  • How to fix intermittent blue screen of death?

    This is a 15" MacBook Pro that came loaded with 10.6.7. 2GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3. Getting a blue screen on startup. Sometimes (1/10 times) it will boot okay. Cannot startup on the DVD (holding down the C key). Just will not work. Verified the DVD drive does work as I was able to get the hardware test to work on the other DVD (hold down the D key). Tried using an external drive with same failure. It is currently up and running. I ran the Verify Disk and it did not find any issues. Then I ran Verify Disk Permissions and it did find some problems with usr/lib/libruby.2.0... and usr/lib/libruby.dyllb.  Few other issues with Safari, Printers and iBook.app. It is repairing permissions as I type. I fear the issue will not be resolved by this. I have a Time Machine backup on a USB drive. That's all I can think of to write. Any suggestions on how to cure the blue screen issue on startup?

    If you can't boot from the install disc in order to reinstall OS X, take your Mac to Apple Store >  Apple - Find Locations

  • How to fix the white screen of death

    Hi I have been having trouble with my imac that was bought in 2009. I was working on a project when my imac froze. I turned it off and turned it back off but then it showed a screen the color of sky blue. I left it on the whole day then turned it off for the whole night. Once I turned it back on it showed a screen with a file sign and a blinking question mark.
    Please help me

    Sounds like a hardware problem, run Apple Hardware Test (Google it) in Extended Mode at least 2-3 times in succession. If you get any error codes you have confirmed its hardware which means there is nothing we can do to help on a user forum. It would mean a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.

  • Why is Encore 6.0 giving me the "blue screen of death" when I try to create a menu?

    When I purchased my student edition 6.0 (which I love by the way), Encore did not have any of the libraries loaded up on it. After reading some discussions, I downloaded the missing folders.
    Now, when I try to create a menu, my computer shuts down and gives me "the blue screen of death" as they call it (a blue screen with white writting, counting up to 100%, and saying Windows is preparing to crash...or something about the hard drive crashing....I can't remember because it goes off the screen so quickly).
    I've done this several times - my computer only does this when I try to create a menu in encore, and not in any other part of encore. It hasn't happened in any of the other programs either (Premiere Pro and Audition are the only other programs I have used so far), or any other times I have my laptop.
    Because of this, I am not too concerned since it seems Encore is the problem. However, I do not want any other problems to escalade from this either.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can someone please help me? I'm working on my Senior Thesis (a video) this year, and I really really cannot afford to have my computer crash on me.
    Please and thank you,
    Meghin

  • What is nipalk.sys and why does it give me the Blue Screen of Death?

    Recently I purchased a 6211 USB data acquistion unit.  Everything worked fine until one day Windows Explorer crashed (we all know how rare that kind of event is...).  When I re-booted, I got the Blue Screen of Death, with a message about nipalk.sys being the culprit.  I booted in Safe Mode and re-named this file, and then was able to boot normally and re-install the driver software for the 6211, and everything was fine...for about a week, when Windows Explorer did it again (Oops!). 
    Does anyone know:
        1.  Which exact part of the install supplies nipalk.sys?  It is a huge install with multiple parts accross 2 CDs.  I could save a lot of time if I could restrict the install to just repairing the damage.
        2.  Can I just make a copy of nipalk.sys and tuck it away in some corner of my hard drive to use as a replacement when this happens?
        3.  I'm guessing that nipalk.sys is used by the little system tray icon that watches out for DAQ devices to be plugged into my USB.  Is this guess correct?  Can I turn this feature off for the 99% of the time I'm not using my laptop for data acquisition?  Will that protect me against the gorking of nipalk.sys when Explorer goes down?
        4.  What is this driver doing that its file disk becomes corrupted during a Windows Explorer crash?

    Paul-
    OK.  When I can afford the time, I will try removing all NI software and re-installing.  I have LabVIEW 8.0, DAQmx (of course), NI Vision development, and IMAQ. 
    I also had LabVIEW 7.1 on my machine because it was too much trouble to
    remove it when I upgraded to 8.0  I have since removed 7.1, but I think there are still a lot of older versions of the "extras" that came along with it still lurking on my hard drive....
    I was hoping for some guidance for a short-term "work around:"
    1.  If I just re-install DAQmx, can I make a copy of nipalk.sys and store it somewhere as a back-up to avoid the painfully long 2 CD re-install of DAQmx?
    2.  If the answer to 1 is "no", then exactly what part of DAQmx installs nipalk.sys?  It is a multi-part install, and if I know which part is responsible for nipalk.sys, I can repair just that and save a lot of time.
    To answer your questions about version:  I'm not sure.  I don't have convenient access to the disks at the moment, but they came with my 6211, which I ordered in May of 2007.  I would be tempted to call it "the latest", but DAQmx seems to get updated quite frequently, so let's just call it a "recent" version.
    Thanks,

  • ITunes and the blue screen of death.

    Over about the past week now iTunes has been giving me this error when I try to disconnect/eject my iPod from with in iTunes.
    +"The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."+
    It also will not allow me to eject it from the Safely Remove Hardware function on the task bar.
    When I then try to close down iTunes it gives me the blue screen of death. I have the error code which corresponds with it, and the code is one which mentions Removable Media Devices as the reason for the error.
    I've read a bit about this, and tried a few things. But to no avail.
    I'm going to move all the files off of my iPod and reset the iPod itself when I get home.
    Short of that, is there anything else which may fix this problem?
    Thank You

    One thing to check is if you have any new or previously updated anti virus software.
    It could be trying to scan the ipod while itunes is trying to sync to it.

  • I have a new iPhone 4 and every time I plug it into my laptop I get the "blue screen of death", it didn't do this the first time because I downloaded all my music from iTunes but ever since it has done this.  Anybody have any insight?

    I have an iPhone 4 and downloaded all my iTunes music to it.  Now when I connect it to my laptop I automatically get the "blue screen of death", does anyone have any insight into this problem?

    This will happen if you have photos in your camera roll and an out-of-date scanner or webcam driver. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502

  • 10.5 Install Brings the Blue Screen of Death

    Hi,
    I could really use some help. I just tried to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5. I'm on a power pc mac (12" G4) with 1.67 GHz. Here's a rundown of what I've done so far.
    1. Upgraded from 10.5 disc - went all the way through, but upon restart, i got the blue screen of death. I could see and move the cursor but nothing else.
    2. Manually shut down. Restarted with installation disc and ran disk utility - no disk errors or permissions errors.
    3. Restarted again with internal drive as startup disk. Again, blue screen of death.
    4. Tried to reset pram (reset-nvram and reset-all). Again, blue screen of death.
    5. Went back to install disc and re-installed 10.5. Again, went through successfully. Upon restart, yet again the blue screen of death. This time, the cursor is the colored spinning wheel. I've let it go overnight in case in needed a little time and it's still there.
    PLEASE HELP! I've backed up everything, but there are a handful of files I neglected to backup. Not life-changing, but would be good to salvage.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
    J-

    I did, but didn't find this until today.

    I had already given up on a straight upgrade and instead went for the archive and install option which has worked without a hitch. All is well. Has even resolved my synching woes with my treo. Note that you should make sure you have enough drive space since I'm now down to a paltry 3GB when I once had about 12GB.

  • Blue Screen Of Death on iPhone plugin: NOT caused by Logitech or HP

    Hi,
    Like many posters who have posted throughout 2009, my Windows XP computer crashes consistently every time I plug in my new iPhone. I am currently totally unable to use iTunes to connect to the iPhone.
    I have spent more than 8 hours trying ALL the causes listed on Apple's website. It is NOT those. I do not have a Logitech Camera or an HP Scanner or anything else listed there. Below you can see a complete list of what I have and what I have tried.
    It is very clear from other posts that Apple's usbaapl.sys driver still has bugs/conflicts that Apple has not yet identified. Let's get to work figuring out what the problem is!
    I would appreciate any suggestions or pointers from other members, but please do review the details below before you post.
    I am technical and would be happy to provide further info or try suggested registry changes, drivers, etc.
    Details:
    Every time I plug in my iPhone 3G, my Windows XP Desktop computer Blue-Screens in the Apple-provided usbaapl.sys driver (which is installed by the iTunes Apple Mobile Device Support installer component) within seconds, whilst Windows Plug and Play is loading the "Apple Mobile Devices" driver. Windows plug-and-play never makes it to the "imaging device" device. It crashes within 0-5 seconds of plugging in the device.
    The same iPhone can successfully work with iTunes on my friend's Windows XP system, so the problem is not with my iPhone; it is with the Apple iTunes software.
    There is some problem with interaction between iTunes on my Windows XP computer and my iPhone.
    I have iTunes 8.2.1.6 with Windows XP sp3.
    I have already tried ALL of the suggestions at:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2280
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502
    In particular
    - I do not have a Logitech camera, either built-in or plug-in.
    - I unplugged AND uninstalled all the drivers for
    - my printer (which is a Canon i560)
    - my scanner (which is Canon CanoScan LIDE 25)
    - my USB hub/card reader (IOGEAR GUH284R)
    - my webcam (Creative Webcam Pro)
    - I actually unplugged ALL USB devices first, including the mouse and the USB hub, rebooted, and it still blue-screens when plugging in the iPhone directly to the computer's USB port.
    - I used to have an HP PrecisionScan Pro, and so I also uninstalled all drivers for all old hardware (not just the HP scanner), and rebooted. Still blue-screens when plugging in the iPhone.
    - I have tried all USB ports of the computer, including directly plugging into them without any USB hub. Still blue-screens.
    - I completely uninstalled iTunes, QuickTime, and Apple Mobile Device Support, rebooted, verified that usbaaap.sys was gone from system32/drivers, then reinstalled iTunes 8.2.1.6 -- still blue-screens
    - When I re-installed iTunes, I had disabled my computer's firewall and anti-virus as an Apple tech had suggested, but this didn't help -- still blue-screens.
    - I also tried the hack, suggested on the internet, of installing Apple Mobile Device Support from iTunes 7.7.1 on top of iTunes/QuickTime version 8.2.1.6. I verified that I was in fact getting a different usbaapl.sys but -- still blue screens.
    - I verified that if I delete the usbaapl.sys driver, plugging in the iPhone does not blue-screen (though of course I cannot use it either). The blue screen of death that appears also contains the word usbaapl.sys. The crash is definitely in that driver. I understand that Apple and Logitech say the "real problem" is in another driver, but as mentioned above, I have eliminated everything on the list in Apple's support suggestion, and I still blue-screen. I even blue-screen with Apple's version 7.7.1 usbaapl.sys driver.
    - I verified that my PC has the latest chipset drivers and USB 2.0 drivers. My PC has a 2.8 GHz P4 processor with an ABIT BD7II-RAID motherboard. It has an Intel 845E chipset with Intel 82801DB (ICH4) I/O USB controller. I have never had any other problems like this with any other USB device on this computer. My problem is unique to iPhone.
    - I saw on the internet that in 2007 there was an iTunes blue-screen crash that resulted if the iPhone had any Photos on it. So I deleted all the photos on my iPhone. Still blue-screens.

    lsemprini wrote:
    Yes, as mentioned in the OP, it says usbaapl.sys on the blue screen, and removing the driver avoids the bluescreen (but of course also prevents the iPhone from working with iTunes). Interestingly, when removing the usbaapl.sys driver, the imaging side of the device actually works with my computer (i.e., I can get the Photos stored, which comes via an alternate driver interface). The problem is REALLY isolated just to the Apple iTunes interlink code in usbaapl.sys.
    I'd like to emphasize and clarify this point a little more as I think it may be the key symptom for separating my problem (and that of other posters, I'd imagine) from the "standard Logitech conflict" problem:
    With the bug I am reporting, I plug in the iPhone, and Windows pops up a plug-and-play bubble for "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver," which is usbaapl.sys (you can verify this with 100% certainty by searching for usbaapl in regedit). The blue screen occurs for me during this phase (sometimes an instant after the bubble pops up)!
    If I disable usbaapl.sys by removing the driver, Windows gets past "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" (happily failing to report any error even though it has not loaded the driver, sigh) and goes on to an "imaging" device (I think it might have said "iPhone camera" or "Imaging Device;" I can check again if it's important), which succeeds to load, and I can access pictures stored on the iPhone using the standard Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard tool, which I think uses the WIA API.
    So my bug differs from the "standard Logitech conflict" in that it has NO relation to whether or not I have Photos on the iPhone, and if I disable the buggy usbaapl.sys driver, I AM able to access photos on the PC.
    In most of the bug reports I saw for the "standard Logitech conflict" problem, users only experienced crashes when the camera had one or more Photos on it, and it appears (though other bug reports are not clear) that the system crashes just after Windows attempts to load the "imaging" driver for the iPhone. My guess is that those users got through "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" with no problem and crashed on the "imaging" driver.
    Can someone at apple please post an engineering bug on this issue?
    That way we can get a list of technical questions from the engineers that need answering so that we can really stomp this bug for good. I can also volunteer to try out debugging versions of the drivers and collect log files, if needed. I am a systems software engr with Windoze experience so I can probably help expedite the debugging process.
    I want to get this fixed and I'm sure many posters do also!

  • 10.6.2 Died - Blue screen of death for Snow Leopard?

    OK. I upgraded Tiger via the SL Boxed Set yesterday. The install went pretty flawless - no hiccups or issues at all. It is a clean install. I had cloned Tiger to an external USB drive - that's why I'm able to type this message now. I upgraded to 10.6.2 this morning and still everything seemed fine.
    I had the migration pretty much complete. I was getting used to some of the new features, I had moved/installed everything, etc. I have played games, used mail, internet, photo software, etc. with no problems. Today while using the computer, I noticed I would attempt to start a program, but the icon would just bounce in the dock and would not open. The programs that were already open were working fine - Safari, Apple Mail, and Google SketchUp. So, I finished up what I was doing and restarted my computer. That restart was the last time I ever saw the 10.6.2 desktop.
    Upon reboot, I get the Apple logo with gray screen, then the blue screen, then it freezes. I disconnected all connected devices (USB/Firewire, etc.) and unplugged for 30 minutes - no luck. Booted from the SL CD and ran Disk Utility. Disk Utility found no errors and said all was great! I verified the disk and repaired it even though it said it didn't need it. Still no luck. Just the blue screen of death.
    Any ideas where to go from here? I can boot via my USB external drive with 10.4.11, but that doesn't really correlate to my problem. I REALLY don't want to have to reinstall everything all over again - it took me ALL DAY to get it all moved over and I still have some to do. Thanks for any tips or tricks.

    I suppose the new install just wrote over all the files, and it appears to have left all of my settings in tact. Now, if I just knew which one or few files was the problem, I'd be really satisfied.
    It might help to understand that the procedure affects primarily OS files, for instance by replacing the existing copies of the binaries the OS contains with fresh ones from the installer disc. It does not affect user created files & settings at all, except possibly for some system-wide settings that might have become corrupt. It won't affect third party items either, except that it may move a few of them known to be incompatible with Snow Leopard in a root level "Incompatible Software" folder, as explained in Mac OS X v10.6: About incompatible software.
    So, the most likely cause of your problem was a damaged or missing OS domain file that the installer replaced. How the file got damaged or which one(s) were involved is hard to say. Some third party software can do this, especially hacks & so-called system enhancements that ignore Apple's Developer Guidelines for appropriate entry points into the OS. Improper shutdown, like from a sudden loss of power, can sometimes do it. User error may be involved, especially if you use the Terminal to modify system files & settings or otherwise make changes to the root level folders normally managed by the OS (/System, /Library, & the ones not normally visible from the Finder).

  • 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.

  • When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

    The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

  • When I clicked on Firefox, the update bar started but when it stopped Firfox would not open. The blue screen of death popped up and said something about a new installation. We restarted the computer and now Firefox will not open. Help!

    When I clicked to open Firefox the update bar appeared and an update loaded. Usually when this happens Firefox will open up when the update is finished. This time it did not open. when I clicked on the icon again the blue screen opened and said something about a new installation and if this was the first time you have seen this screen restart your computer and try again. I restarted the computer and when I clicked on the Firefox icon the "hour glass" would appear like it was trying to open but it never would open. I don't know what else to do.

    I turned on the laptop and it would only show the blue screen for a second and then cut off. I tried F7, F8, F9, F10, F11 and nothing seems to work. I tried starting it in the last good sector. I tried fixing it and nothing seems to work.
    The blue screen also says - disable memory option (caching/shadowing).
    I bought this latptop with the original Vista OS but I later received the Window 7 upgrade through HP. This laptop did not come with recovery CDs.
