Iphone 3gs shows white screen for a second and reboots.

While I play games, watch videos or do anything, the iphone displays a totally white screen for less than a second and then it reboots. After this it starts normally and then this all happens again after about 10-20 mins.
Plz give me any suggestions to fix it. What is the problem? any hardware prob??

Hello, noyz23il.
I would agree that this is a unique issue. I have attached an article that goes over basic troubleshooting that may help. In this article, see the sections referring to display, camera and blank white screen. If this does not resolve the issue, please see the last section regarding "issue not resolved".

IMac 27" 3.06ghz white screen for 40 seconds on start up before grey apple

when i start up my iMac 27" 3.06GHZ i get a white screen for 40 seconds before the grey apple appears and it boots up.
If anyone else is experiencing this or has a solution it would be great if you could reply.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, i have recently bought a new imac 27" i7, i don't have any problems with white screens when starting up, the imac runs great, however when i try playing any games thats when the problems start. i installed X-plane it first worked without any problems but not in full resolution, i upgraded the resolution to the maximum imac resolution and from that moment every time i start the game the screen turns white you can hear the imac starting the game and even for a while sound appears, but then after 30 seconds the programs fails and you get a typical apple message.
i have also tried installing need for speed, here i didn't change anything to the graphics however the problem occurred straight away. white screen then the sound of the games menu and crash. did anyone else have this problem? is there a solution to this? i would like to apologize if this matter has been discussed in earlier forums. However i hope there is someone whom is able to give me a helping hand here. Whats wrong???? thanks ruben

I put my iPod charging, but it wont charge. The Apple logo appears on the screen for five seconds and then it goes off again. Afterwards, it does it again and again and again. I can leave it 1 hour or day charging and it will be doing this the whole time.

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 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why do my raw images (fr Nikon d800e) show up bright for 1 second and then darken in Aperture?

I'm new to this site so I apologize for the long question. When I import raw files from my Nikon D800e into Aperture (3.2.3), they show up bright for one second and then darken slightly. Is this normal? It didn't happen with raw files from my Nikon D300. I have to adjust the brightness and exposure to make them bright again. thanks, Mike

One of the changes in Aperture 3 as it has evolved, is to first use the Preview generated by the camera. It waits to generate its own Preview until you actually click to display that one image. Until then the thumbnails are based upon the camera provided JPEG Preview.
In earlier versions, you never saw that, but only the initial Preview generated in Aperture. It is not because of the different camera.
Btw, if you are using 10.8.2, why have you not updated to Aperture 3.4.3?

ITunes shows white screen for iPhone, allows eject only

Recently restored my phone to factory settings. Connected to iTunes. iTunes shows the device and allows to eject, however to the right there is only a white page. Already tried the following:
reboot of both devices
reinstall itunes
connect device to different computer (same white screen)
reset all content and settings on iphone
I'm running out of ideas. The phone works fine - but I can't sync or restore anything! The only option when I click on the iphone icon in the sidebar is...eject!
Screenshot attached. Strange that the same screen shows up on 2 macbook pro's!

I have the exact same problem. I've restored multiple times on two different computers without any luck. This seems to be a brand new issue happening today as I have found multiple threads about this issue...

Iphone 3g shows Apple screen for a few seconds then shuts down

Hey everyone, I've searched all over for a fix for this, but can't seem to find anyone who has had this problem answered. I was away for a while and didn't use my phone, when I got home today it froze up two or three times, so I put it into recovery mode and went through the normal steps of restoring from my last backup no problem. The phone seemed to backup fine and got was syncing my music/photos/etc. and I decided to go for a run. I came back 45 minutes later and it was shut down and not doing anything. When I went to restart it the black and white Apple logo screen popped up like normal for about 15-20 seconds then it shut down. It continues to do this no matter what I try. The only issue I can think of is that the battery was really low when I plugged it in for the restore, but it made it to the sync portion without a problem, so I'd assume it should have been charging.
I've gone through all the recovery/restore steps I can find on the net. I've tried removing itunes from my computer and reloading it, both just with the application only and then all the correlating files. I've tried restarting about 15 times, plugging into different USB ports and even using my brother's powerbook to restore it. When I plug it in it recognizes that it's plugged in and the boot screen comes up, but it shuts down before it's recognized by itunes.
Has anyone had this problem and overcome it? Does anyone have any input other then referring me to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 or trying to put it into DFU? It's out of warranty and if at all possible I'd rather not buy a new one. Thanks in advance for your help.

I guess, putting it in recovery mode and restoring it "as new phone" is your only chance if you can make it. Restoring from a backup may copy corrupt files back to your phone, causing this problem.

IPhone 3GS shows blank screen after OS5 installation

Hello,
After the installation of the new OS 5 on my 3 GS everything seems to work fine. I am just facing the following problem:
- When I turn on the iPhone i often see a blank, white screen. The touchpad is not responding. I have to press the ON/OFF button a few times to get the "normal" unlock screen.
- The same behaviour happend when I received a call. I just saw a white sceen and was not able to awnser the call (no button available).
Has anyone had the same problem?
Regards,
Tobias

If basic troubleshooting fails to resolve, it's time for a trip to the Genius bar.

When my phone turns on it goes to the normal screen for 1 second and then it gets very large so you can only see a few icons

When I turn my iphone on, the usual main icon screen shows for about a second and then it blows up so you can only see a few icons at a time. How do you turn this off?

Your phone might be on Zoom somehow, try just the simple "gestures" fix
Double tap with 3 fingers on the screen, then drag down. That should at least zoom out. If that does not work, try scrolling through the screen, but using 3 fingers instead of 1.
From there you should be able to access Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom>OFF
Hope this helps

Iphone 3GS frozen on screen with itunes logo and USB cable

*** am i ment to do, restarting dont help!
im on vista 64bit.

I restarted my iphone and when it booted back up i received a loud pining sound with a message stating please give me back my iphone. it popped up for a second and went away.

I just restarted my iphone because of lag and when it popped back up there was a loud pinging sound with a message that appeared that stated give me back my iphone. It went away after a few seconds and the sound stopped. I restarted 4 times since then to see if it happened again but it never occured.
After doing a bit of looking around online i noticed that messages like these appear through the find my iphone app. I bought the phone new a year ago from my provider and broke it right out of the box and everything so i know didnt buy a stolen phone or anything.
Help or adice on the issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I thought about maybe i was somehow messing around in icloud but i dont quite recall doing that but with new toys you never know what you may press. I just wanted to see if there was some sort of glitch going around perhaps.
I've changed my passwords for all my accts to be on the safe side as it is looking like there is no glitch that may cause this.
it's beginning to look more and more like it was caused by a person.
thanks a bunch.
