HT6114 Since updating my mbp it has started freezing on a bright blue screen with verticle lines.

Hello, II have just used teh software update and it updated my macbook pro - I think I am now using Maverik, 0SX 10.9.2
My computer keeps crashing with a bright blue screen and verticle lines. One time it crashed so it looked like my desktop was a split screen. I reboot and it starts up OK but then it happens again. I have run disc utility which says I there are no problems. Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks

Might be a hardware issue.  (graphics card)

  • Installed Safari 4 beta, now start up is stuck at blue screen with pinwheel

    I reset PRAM and did fsck.
    I don't have the original install disks to do any disk utility or even archive and install. Is there a way to get a copy of an install disk that will work? I was working with Tiger before, can I just go buy Leopard and do an archive and install or do I need the original one? Any help?
    O yea, I can't do safe mode because I've been pressing shift when it starts and it doesn't change anything. Is there any other way to boot into safe mode, like doing it from the command line or something?

    You can try the methods described in this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    Your profile says iMac G5, so you should be able to run Leopard. You do not have to install the original system first. An +Archive and Install+ is a good way to do the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. However, if the volume has a disk directory (or other data corruption) error, you should resolve it before doing a major upgrade (or anything where a lot of new files are written to the volume).
    If you contact Apple, you may be able to get a replacement disc for the one that came with your iMac model.
    Do you have an external drive to which you can back up your current startup volume? It may have a startup problem, but it is probably still accessible, if you start up from another system on another volume.

  • Our IPAD was dropped and now has a blue screen with little line pattern on the very left side (like a margin) - any chance for it's recovery?

    Any solutions for this? Won't turn off - letting the battery die at this point to see if a restart will help. Any ways to save at this point? Thanks in advance for any tips or help!

    Nevermind!!! We figured out how to fix it! Home button + OFF button for 30 seconds - restarted and we are down to 8 lives!!! YAY!

  • HT6001 my mac has started freezing and suddenly shutting down on me it seems as if every process has slowed down since downloading this last update of 11.1.4, any solutions? Because it shut down in the middle of a test twice now, saying keyboard issue.

    What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

  • SDK Trunk. Update my local copy has started asking for username/password

    SDK Trunk. Update my local copy has started asking for username/password
    these has been happening on and off for a few days now.
    when i click update on my local copy of the sdk ready to do my morning build I've started to be asked for a username and password. I do have a username and password for sandbox and patching etc but entering this has no effect.
    are there times of day when the trunk is locked or something like that? This is not happening all the time but it is several times a day.
    has anyone any idea why this is happening
    Ive don e all the usual things, clean my local version, grabbed a totally new version etc
    im on windows using TortoiseSVN(which is always using a current build)
    cheers
    g

    Ive had this same issue on and off across all the open source svn
    im yet to find any pattern apart from the fact that the auth error only ever shows the root of the svn request.
    Ie http://opensource.adobe.com/svn/opensource/
    Now im not sure if thats just the way the reporting ui works of if it indicates that somewhere in the update it starts to trigger the url rot and thats where the auth request gets triggered. This may be total nonsense. Just a thought.

  • Since yesterday my iphone 4 has started to freeze intermittently when unlocking.  When it happens nothing happens (left it for an hour last night) until I reset the phone, but it's done it 5 times today. Never had this prob before.   Any thoughts?

    I had the same problem (freezing iphone when trying to unlock) today.
    1) I made a backup of my iphone using itunes.
    2) Went to my service provider and made a sim swap. So, I think there was a problem with the nano simcard.
    Problem solved.

  • MBP stuck on blue screen with spinning loading icon during update to 10.6.7

    I have a mid-2010 model Macbook Pro 13inch, 2.4ghz/4gb ram
    I've been scouring apple forums and even reddit and my googlefu has yielded no such luck. Basically, System Update has been yelling at me for a few weeks now to upgrade to 10.6.7 (among other updates) and I've been putting it off and putting it off, with the intention of eventually doing the update, but I just kept forgetting.
    Finally tonight, I remembered, and decided to open System Update, and do all the recommended updates that it was asking me to do. So, without thinking twice (I've never had an issue with this before) I clicked download and install, and away it went, downloading like usual and then rebooting.
    Thing is, it's been stuck at this blue screen with the spinning spiral coming up on 5 hours now. I know the 10.6.7 update was close to 400mb, but I've never had anything like this happen before.
    My hard drive had more than 150 gigs free on it last time I checked, and it's been running absolutely flawless up until now.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Is it supposed to take so long? What do I do?
    I've been contemplating shutting it down by holding the power button, but since it's a OS update I'm afraid the drive will be corrupted, and unfortunately I don't have a current backup of the drive either... Help

    I left my macbook plugged in over night, we're now going on 14 hours of this blue screen with the spinning wheel/symbol. Anyone?

  • Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    Since july 2 I have Acrobat Pro (the paid version). But every time I start the program I get the screen with: this is a trial version. You have X days left, etc. I find that quite annoying.

    This is not just annoying, it is wrong, because at the end of the trial it will stop completely. You must resolve it before then.
    So, did you do anything to license the trial version? It needs to be told that you have purchased, or it will stop working at the end of the trial.

  • My MacBook Pro will not start. When I started it goes to a gray screen with the Apple logo and has the spinning dial. When I started in safe mode it will not start. In safe mode it as an error message that says MacBook Launch_msg():Socket is not connected

    If running 10.7 or later hold down Command-R at Startup.
    This should invoke recovery Mode.
    Choose Disk Utility.
    Select your Hard drive. Inspect the SMART Status in the lower right of the window for "Verified".
    Select the Mac OS X Volume (originally Macintosh HD) click (Repair Disk)
    If errors, run again until it comes clean or gets stuck.

  • Encore CS5 has started freezing on "Preparing project for build..." in disk burn attempt

    After routinely burning DVDs with Encore CS5, the program has started freezing after I choose my settings and click "BUILD" on a window that reads, "Preparing project for build..."
    I checked for solutions online and read about problems with Quicktime versions after 7.5.5.  So I uninstalled Quicktime and installed the 7.5.5 version.  Still had problem.
    I reinstalled Encore.  Still had problem.
    Further research suggested I install the Roxio patch
    PX Engine 4.18.16a   I installed the patch.  Still had problem.
    I reinstalled the latest version of Quicktime v 7.7.4  Still had problem
    On my desktop computer, I'm running
    Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
    Intel i7 CPU  930 @ 2.80Ghz 2.80Ghz
    24 GB RAM
    nvidia Quadro GX 4800
    Raid config on my data drives
    Luckily, I also have Encore loaded as a part of the CS5 suite on a laptop computer, so I transfered the project files to the laptop, which burned the program without a problem.  This tells me the problem is with the program on my desktop and now with the project files.
    LAPTOP:
    Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit
    Intel i7 CPU  2620M  @  2.70 Ghz  2.70 Ghz
    4 GB RAM
    nvidia NVS 4200M
    I'd appreciate any suggestions about how to get my desktop to again burn DVDs in encore.
    Message was edited by: Dan 101 Just realized that when I reinstalled Encore, I got a message that instructed me to shut down two processes. One was related to Encore, the other was something like dynamiclink.exe. I couldn't find any such process running when I checked the Task Manager, so I couldn't shut it down before I continued with the installation.  Could this be related to the issue?

    I am not using any quicktime files.  I started with 1920 x 1080p avi files to build a number of Permiere projects (one for each chapter of a 50 minute DVD, then converted these segments into H.264 files, (with an .mp4 extension) and built a master Premiere project.  I used H.264 files because it seemed the best option to keep the quality as high as possible before converting to m2v files.  Then I converted the master Premiere project into  m2v and wav files which are being used by Encore.  Should I convert the individual projects into another format (rather than H.264) to build the master project?  Does Encore look at the files converted to m2v from  mp4 as Quicktime files?  Could I avoid this by converting to Microsoft AVI or Uncompressed Microsoft AVI to buld my master project?  I didn't built the entire project into one master premiere project from the start because I was concerned it would be too complex with all the elements and tracks.
    Now I can work with Encore and burn files, but the Encore program routinely freezes after I burn a disk.  The Quicktime thing is a puzzle, especially because I stopped getting the freeze when attempting to burn disks after I reinstalled Quicktime 7.6.5. I was trying a number of things and kept a log.  Now I'm trying to figure out why the program freezes after a disk has burned. I turned off Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Center, and Windows Media Player, rebooted and turned the features on again, but that didn't seem to have an impact.  Also, when I attempt to make changes to a subtitle track, I see the changes in the subtitle track, but they don't appear in the burned disk -- unless I delete a subtitle and recreate it.
    Does the Roxio PX engine have any bearing on this?

  • Problem with iOS 8 in ipad air since update, "blue screen with restart"

    Problem with iOS 8 in ipad air since update, "blue screen with restart"

  • Erm...An exclamation mark '!' has started to appear on my AE screen - Why?

    Erm...An exclamation mark '!' has started to appear on my AE screen - Why?
    It doesn't seem to be affecting anything and I can't seem to find anyone else on the web who has the same issues, the only thing I'm hazarding a guess at is that it is something to do with Open GL, as its in the same colour/font + drop shadow as the open GL font is. Beyond that I'm stumped.
    Anyone any ideas?

    There's a weird glitch that causes some script panels to appear at the minimum size (which looks an awful lot like an exclamation point).
    Scripts like BG Renderer need to be installed in the ScriptUI Panels folder and run from the Window menu as described here: http://aescripts.com/faq/how-to-install-and-run-scripts/
    Once it's installed and run this way, you should avoid the issue you are experiencing.

  • Satellite A65 won't start and I get only blue screen!

    When I start my satellite A65 a blue screen comes up saying "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer"
    it says to check if I have adequate disk space or to either disable or update the driver if a driver was mentioned in the stop message... or to check bios updates...
    I can type out everything it says if I need to, but that the jist
    Does this sound familiar to anybody?
    It might be because I didn't update enough when it told me to.
    It won't start, not even on safe mode, and it won't let me restore, which I would be perfectly willing to do at this point.
    help, please

    Hi
    Usually the Blue screen of death happens due to the serious software problem or due to the hardware malfunction.
    In your case it sounds more like something wrong with the hardware. Why, because you are not able to restore the notebook from the delivered Toshiba recovery CD!
    What to do buddy? I think the notebook must be checked.
    Try to contact an ASP in your country and ask for the further handling!
    Good luck

    See Here for
    Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart..  Reset..  Restore...
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

    Hello. When I connect my imac Start, as usual, comes the start signal and then the white screen with the load signal then nothing happens. What could be the problem?

    Presuming you get the chime, most of your Mac hardware is working and has passed the first part of the power-on self-test.
    If the screen comes on, basic graphics is working.
    The dark gray Apple is not present inside the Mac -- it must be loaded from a boot device. If the dark gray Apple appears, at least one of your boot devices has some capabilities. The flower petal/gear moves while Darwin is initializing and loading. If it stops immediately, something is terribly wrong.
    When the screen turns blue, Mac OS X has loaded and your graphics card transitions to Interrupt-driven operation. LoginWindow task draws the login screen, and Mac OS X is ready for login.
    What could be the problem depends on where in the process it stops, and whether the power light is blinking.
