I have a white screen and blinking world?

I have a white screen and a blinking world .HELP!

Somehow a network disc has gotten selected as your startup disk. Hold the option key at start up and you should be presented with the boot screen, choose your internal hdd and once it starts go into preferences>startup disk and set the internal as your start up drive.

    Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • HT1414 I have a white screen and have done a restore twice any suggestions

    I have a white screen and have done a restore twice any suggestions?

    If restoring as new (without using a backup) didn't help, the phone has a major hardware failure.  Take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

    i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?

    Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

    - Try a reet:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
    - If the screen is still white, let the battery fully drain and charge for an hour.
    - If still white screen it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    - If not, the try the reset and connect to iTunes and restore.  Also try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • I have a new Iphone 4 and tried iCloud syncing.    I now have a white screen and cannot turn the phone off.   i did not download iTunes so I cannot perform a restore facility through iTunes.    What can I do please?

    I have upgraded from a 3gs and first backed up by 3gs through iCloud.     I then logged on to iCloud on my new device and it synced my contacts.   I entered my email addresses and then tried to download some of my App purchases.      The screen then went white and I cannot now shut down the phone although I am hearing new emails coming through.     I think I should have downloaded iTunes first but didn't which means iTunes does not recognise the phone and I cannot therefore restored to factory settings to start again.     Help please.

    Has the phone been unlocked officially? Has the phone been jailbroken in the past? If yes, these could be reasons for the behavior of the phone.

    Hi, I have an iMac which I just booted up and have a white screen with a blue folder with a question mark blinking on and off. Any help would be appreciated. Tommy

    That means your iMac could not find a system to use for startup.  That may mean the internal hard drive has become faulty, or the hard drive mechanism is fine, but the startup volume ("Macintosh HD" unless you renamed it) may have some type of data corruption that makes it unbootable.
    First, you should try resetting PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    and if that does not help, use this procedure to reset SMC (power management).  If your iMac is from 2008, this is the procedure for Intel (not PowerPC) Macs.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    (This forum category is for "iMac (PPC)," so if this iMac is older (with a PowerPC processor), please post back.)
    Disconnect all peripheral devices.  When you connect it back to power, if you have been using a power strip of some type, try connecting it directly to a wall outlet, by itself (at least initially).  Start up with nothing but the power cord connected, then add only standard mouse and keyboard.  If it works, run it that way for a while. 
    If PRAM and SMC reset have no effect, you should insert your Mac OS X installation disc (for the currently installed system) in the optical drive, and restart with the C key held down.  This should get you to the Installer screen, where you can run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 
    In Disk Utility, does the internal hard drive appear in the sidebar?  If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab.  Use Repair Disk.  If an error is found, note if Disk Utility was able to fix it or not.
    You can then quit Disk Utility and attempt to restart normally.

  • My apple TV displays an apple screen, and blinking white LED, only LED responds to remote inputs.  I reset with remote ...same result....Any ideas?

    My apple TV displays an apple screen, and blinking white LED, only LED responds to remote inputs.  I reset with remote ...same result....Any ideas?

    If they are the instructions I think you might have seen, they are for the Apple TV 2.
    Unfortunately I think your Apple TV may have failed.
    You might try removing ALL the cables for a while and trying again, but I think you may be out of luck.

  • Hp pavilion g4 1104dx display white screen and caps lock blink twice

    Hi i recently used my hp laptop screen to test another laptop acer aspire 5517. After the test i reconnected back the cable only to power it on a white screen appeared with caps lock blink twice. I thought the problem might be screen shot so i decided to connect to external monitor but still no signal on external monitor even after pressing fn+f4. What might be the problem thanks.

    Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I understand you are having an issue with your Notebook. You had stated that you receive a White Screen and the Caps Lock are blinking twice. Please be very careful when it comes to blink patterns as sometimes there can be a pause between the blinking.   Before you start troubleshooting, please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. Here is the first document I found called Performing a Hard Reset or Forced Reset. If that does not work, please follow Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8). The last document I have for you that may help is called Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps. Please follow these provided troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went. Thank you! Have a great day!
