HT1414 My iPAD frequently opens with a white screen. After as many as 10 attempts to turn it on it functions normally.

When I turn on my iPAD it oftens opens with a plain white screen. It starts normally but sometimes after as many as 10 attempts.

Have you try a reset?
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • IPad mail opens with blank white screen and then closes since returning from overseas. Worked fine up until then.

    Since returning from overseas my iPad mail does not work. Selecting mail opens a blank white screen which stays open for a short time then closes. No functionality is available during this time. Doing the normal reboots etc does not resolve the problem.

    Have you tried to go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and removing then re-adding the account info?

  • Met with a white screen after installing Snow Leopard on Macbook (mid 2007)

    After installing Snow Leopard on my Mid 2007 mac book pro I was prompted to restart. I restarted and the computer turned on but only got as far as a white screen that stays white with no further activity for an indefinite amount of time. I've restarted the computer a few times with the same results. How do I fix this and get past the white screen?!

    Try booting into "verbose mode".  That will cause a series of messages to appear on the screen during the boot process.  When that stalls (presuming it does so), write down the last few messages and post them as a reply.
    You might also try running the diagnostics that came with that Mac.  Depending on the model, you can boot with the "system restore disc" in the machine with the "D" key held down to run those.  Run the diagnostics several times.

  • My ipod is stuck on a white screen after i tried to update IOS and turns on and off by itself :/

    ok so last night im textin my sis with this app and i thought she was done texting me so i decided to update my ipod to IOS 6 and it took FOREVER just to download it idk why but anyways it said i needed a power source or a battery level over 50% so i just charged it with my wire nd wall charger. but the thing is about the wire is tht it teeds to have a problem charging it has to be in ceartain postions or shape for it to charge so when i plugged it in it had the charging icon at the top so i clicked install nd when i clicked install it said verifying update or something like that but after a couple seconds when i clicked it my sis sent me a text and i acciedently clicked lauched but eventually it shutdown to countine the update. so i waited for about 5 mins or less and i find that the little bar at the bottom froze so i shut the ipod off using the home and the power button. but then when i pressed then power button to turn it back on it showed me the apple logo then the screen dims just a little bit then the screen goes to a light blue and im like ***? so i shut if off again the same way i did the first but this time it turned on by itself and repeated the cycle untill i shut it off. so when ever i shut it off, i turns on BY ITSELF shows the logo for like 5 sec dims, then goes to a blue screen. but i tried repeating the cycle this one time nd at first it faded to white. then again i tried this time it when to blue then it changed to black very qucikly. but now i just left it on a white screen because it was the most common color of frozzen screens when i looked at gogle for answers. and now im soo ****** cuz i had just deleted alot of pics and some apps for the IOS 6 update -___-

    You may have to do the following
    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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • [Solved] White screen after KDE 4.11.1 upgrade

    Hi!
    I updated the system going from KDE 4.11.0 to KDE 4.11.1. On reboot I got the correct loading of KDM, but upon arrival on the desktop the latter is presented fully white with big red button with an "X" in them. Thinking it was the configuration of kde, I deleted .kde4 with the effect that the next time I always white screen (that is only the red buttons have disappeared).
    I try to remove completely kde with:
    pacman -Rsnc kde
    and seeing that reinstalling I get the same result, I also tried to clean up the cache pacman packages listed by the command:
    ls kde*4.11.1*
    so I redownload and reinstalled with:
    pacman -Syu kde
    without solution. I also tried to do what is recommended in the wiki, that is in addition to eliminating .kde4, I run:
    $ rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
    $ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
    without solution.
    Thinking then it might be the partition / almost full, I checked with:
    df
    but the partition is not filled even for half of the 30gb that is available.
    I checked some logs and these are the outputs:

    Thanks Thaodan! I deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and I solve the problem! I also restore .kde4_backup and at the moment have no issue.
    Small question: I noticed that there are also kdecache-kdm and kdecache-root. I should remove it or doesn't matter?
    Thanks for the help!
    THANKS, my White Screen was caused by a combination of issues but this solution worked for me.
    My Problem -
    I am not sure exactly what caused my white screen, I was playing around with /etc/profile & /etc/sudoers
    What I changed -
    sudoers - I added my user group to sudoers and allowed sudo to execute applications using xauth in home dir
    profile - changed umask to 133 ( I hate execute bit ) and default text editor to nano
    What Happened -
    Tried to reload via source but no changes where taking effect so I rebooted. 
    Upon reboot I could not login to KDE, it would keep looping back to the KDM after I entered by password for my user, however it would let me login as root ( after I enabled root login ).
    I figured this was a permission issue so I changed umask back to 022 in /etc/profile, I was then greeted with the White Screen after login.  I read numerous posts about how to fix this, most said to reinstall kde and delete /tmp, none of this worked.
    I deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and now I am back in business ( I had to re set the widgets, i.e. panel ).
    I was so excited that I had to write a post about it!
    Thanks again!

  • My iPad is frozen with a white rotating circle in the center. How do make the circle stop rotating?

    My iPad is frozen with a white rotating circle in the center.  How do I unfreeze it?

    OK if I understand whats going on.
    You have to restore your ipad.
    If you backed it up prior to this problem you may not loose everything.
    I can tell you how to restore it.
    Hold the on/off button and the home button at the same time until the device turns off.
    Once the device has turned off without letting go of the home button release the power button and keep holding until the connect to itunes logo appears.
    It should be rather obvious now that you have to connect your iPad to the computer.
    iTunes on your computer should open automatically if it doesn't open it.
    on the side bar of iTunes your ipad should appear.
    Click on it.
    Then in the centre of the window there should be a restore and/or  restore and update button.
    Click restore.
    the rest of the instructions should appear on the screen.
    Assuming the restore was successful.
    Leave the iPad plugged in and If you backed up the iPad before it stopped working then you should see a restore from back up there if not you may have to start from scratch.

  • My IPad Air is frozen with a white screen and Apple Logo on it.

    My Ipad Air is frozen with the white screen and apple logo.  I've tried resetting it several times and that doesn't help.  I tried connecting to ITunes, but it isn't recognizing the device. 
    The battery is fully charged, at least for now, so I am not sure what else to try.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • Can anyone help me with a white screen on boot, chime and unresponsive keyboard

    As stated in the title it boots up with a white screen and it chimes but i cant use any of the commands to get into the recovery or even boot from a cd or usb drive. I've taken out the hdd and put it back it and it doesnt seem to be the problem. Is there anyone who can tell me exactly whats wrong with it?

    http://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1286
    If I know the exact model, then I can tell if  that came originally with Snow Leopard, we can install Linux.
    Would it be possible for me to format the mac hdd from my pc?
    Not with Windows, Linux might, but it would be a difficult.
    Mac's as you know have EFI, which is loaded from a hidden partition on the boot drive.
    Only OS X, their install disks (and 10.7+ Recovery HD parititon) can format the drive properly for a Mac to use, as they install EFI which the hardware requires for the at boot keys to be able to select Linux and install rEFIt in EFI firmware.
    If your Mac meets 10.6 qualifications, then the 10.6 install disk can be ordered, the instruction for creating a dual boot system with Linux Mint.
    Of course there is a problem, if the machine is too new, then hardware drivers to work with Linux might not have been circulating to use.
    Apple doesn't supply the hardware drivers for Linux or anyone, so it takes hackers to get them and they have to have Mac's. (they rather use generic PC's)
    Older Mac's pre-2011 I know where the drivers are at, on Ubuntu's site (Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu) however I don't know if latest versions of Ubuntu/Mint work with those drivers, I'll asume they do.
    Hardware drivers are important because the machine won't work well without them, like no Wifi, video screen options etc. one just gets the bare minimal use.
    Interest in running Linux on Mac's died when Apple released OS X 10.7, as the Recovery HD partition created a obstacle and Apple seems to be heading towards a closed system like on iPads and iPhones.
    Linux needs open hardware like generic PC's, and the trend from Microsoft is like Apple, closing up hardware from anything but Windows running.
    If you haven't installed Linux on a generic PC, I suggest you try that first as on Mac's it's the most difficult.

  • My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

    My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.

    My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.
