HT5781 screen turns white while using macbook

screen turns white while using my macbook

Does the situation change by changing the position of the screen?
Which model, year, size and OS are you running?

  • Screen turns black while using safari

    While in safari, the screen turns black & returns you back to home. Appears to only happen on larger sites with lots of data.  Getting worst now. Almost happens everytime we're in safari(WIFI). All other apps work fine. I have an Ipad (1). Cleared history & did latest update. Still a BIG problem. Any other advise. Please advise.

    If you have cleared the history, cookies and data, you have pretty much done all that you can. Other users are reporting this same "crashing" behavior with Safari.
    The only other thing that I can think of that MAY be of some help is to quit apps that are running the background. Few apps really do run in the background, but it doesn't hurt to try this and see if it does any good.
    To close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Some have suggested that if you are using iCloud - try turning off Bookmark syncing and that has helped somewhat.
    Apple has announced an update to the iOS that is supposed to be released soon, hopefully they will address this issue in the update.

  • Ipod screen gone white after using 2006 updater!

    hi...my 5th generation video ipod has just had an update and the screen froze after i removed it... the screen then instead of resulting in the apple logo turned white and it is stuck like that. When i try again to restart it only turns black for a while makes a few beep noises and then the screen turns white again .... HELP!

    Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod.
    If the reset previously mentioned doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode, and use the updater to restore the iPod.
    With your iPod not connected to the computer, reset it for about 5 seconds.
    Then press and hold the select and the play/pause buttons for another 5 seconds or so. Then it should be in disk mode.
    Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure).
    That should cure the issue.
    If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

  • Hi, I accidentally spilled water on my Mac Air on the very right side of the keyboard. After a few minutes, the screen turned white and a gray folder with a question mark came up and kept flashing. THEN IT DIED HELP.

    After the screen turned white and the folder popped up, it just kept flashing. After a few minutes the screen just turned white completely and I could hear the noise of the drive. It just sat there still with the noise for a good few hours until the battery died and then my mac just shut down completely. I tried to see if the computer could charge, and it does charge. I just can not turn the computer on no matter what. It is dead. It might be the logic board or the drive...I'm hoping it won't cost me a new computer because I just got this 5 months ago....

    Do not attempt to charge as that will only make the damage worse.  You need to take the MacBook Air to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check and see what repair work is necessary.  It only takes a very small amount of liquid to cause short circuits and damage.

  • IPhone keeps returning to DFU Mode, Screen turns white then yellow when restoring

    I recently got a iPhone 3GS, I didnt jailbreak or anything. I was planning to restore and update to 6.1.3. After the restore it went directly to DFU Mode and wont exit. When I restored again, the screen turned white, when the itunes said preparing to restore,  the screen turned yellow and restore proccess wont continue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    I have the same problem. An iPhone 4S, 6 months old, stuck in DFU mode, black screen and iTunes can't restore (error 1600). Tried reloading iTunes, tried 3 different computers (Win 7, Vista, OSX) all report the same problem.
    This phone has never been jailbroken (don't need that in Oz because my carrier doesn't lock their phones). It still had the original iOS that it came with from Apple.
    Like migsiliciousI read lots of post about using jailbreak software to kick the phone out of restore mode without installing a custom OS, but I'm not going to try that as the phone is still under warranty. If there is no simple solution to the 1600 error, then I'm going to have to travel 40km to the nearest Apple Store and see what they can do.

  • When I select view Apple ID the screen turns white

    I'm trying to change my credit card info in my phone so I go to iTunes and app settings and then select Apple ID and view Apple ID then the screen turns white and it stays like that. How can I fix this?

    Hey there Vicky,
    It sounds like your account info screen is not loading correctly on your iPhone 5s when you try to edit your billing. I would start by signing out of the iTunes & App Stores in your settings first. Then quit all the running apps on the device with this:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into your account and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • I tried turning my Ipod on and the screen turned white...

    I tried turning on my used ipod and the screen turns white. I have no idea why or how to fix it. When I googled how the solution only turned it black for a few seconds. Please help!
    (P.S. I might have the operating system wrong since it was my grandfather's ipod and he never told me.)

    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.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I Have Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower Pc..THE SCREEN TURNS WHITE & FREEZES after 8 -Minutes of usage

    I have an HP Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower PC.
    I cant use in recent times, about two weeks now. The screen turns white and freezes after about 8-10 minutes of been in use. when this happens, the FAN spins at extraordinary fast speed and this will continue for as long as possible until i have to press and hold the power button to off it.
    I have changed processor, powerpack, cooling fan, memory and hard disks but the problem persists.
    This PC is an i5- 3.10ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd, ...windows 7 professional 64 bits.
    I need urgent help. Technical advice. What could be the course of this and what do i need to DO?

    Start the PC in 'safe mode' and check in device manager for new graphics drivers, it sound like you drivers are either out of date or corrupted, the screen going white and computer responding is a symptom of this.
    safe mode uses VGA drivers and these should not freeze giving you ample time to complete these steps.

  • Screen turns white when someone calls

    My iPhone screen turns white occasionally when I turn the phone on--not a big deal becaus I just turn it off and on again using the power button BUT sometimes someone calls and the screen turns white! There is no possibility to answer because the screen goes white immediately and so I miss the call! To make matters worse I don't have caller ID and so I don't know whose call I missed.
    Is this software or hardware? How to fix!!!

    Apple said they would replace it--but it seems when they replace your phone you DON'T get a NEW one!! They use refurbished ones from the factory that have been rejected initially and then they get "refurbished" and pushed out. . .that kinda *****! I am almost tempted to keep the one I have and get caller ID so I can just figure out who called when the screen goes white and i can just call them back.

  • Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool

    Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).

    Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
    The lasso tool should then work normally.

  • My screen reduces brightness while using apple tv, any suggestions?

    My screen reduces brightness while using my apple tv - any suggestions?

    Does it just look darker all the time or does the brightness change over time?
    If it just looks darker, check Settings>Video and if set to RGB Low try RGB High or YCrCb.
    I was watching a digital copy of final Harry Potter last night that came bundled with the Blu Ray - could not believe how dark the film was - I used to routinely use RGB Low on AppleTV1, and such settings options have only just appeared on AppleTV2.  I could see hardly any shadow detail on RGB Low, much improved on RGB High.
