My screen freezes and begins turning white.

Can anyone help?

Try a PRAM reset:
Power off and shut down, power back on, hold the keys, option, command, P, R, before the grey screen or start up chime. (you did not tag your OSX) Continue to hold these keys untill you heat the start up chime 2 times then release.
You can also try a PRAM reset:
Power down, power up holding the left shift, control, option keys till the gear stops spinning.
Hope this helps.

My daughters Macbook's (3 years old) computer screen sometimes will waver and freeze and then turn white if not moved around. She was told that the replacement part would cost $600. Do you know what's going on, and what is the replacement part?

Satellite M30 - Screen freezes and then goes white

Hello,
After searching with M30-241 and finding nothing, I'm trying this way. My Notebook is 2,5 years old has been repaired once because of the white screen and now it's doing it again. When playing a game like snooker 2003 the screen freezes you can hear the sound going on and then the screen starts getting transparent until it is completely white.
I have to press the power bitten and shut down the system but it only happens by gaming. Word, excel, PowerPoint, films no problem.
Thanks for your help

Hi Anton,
This situation is usually caused by the Graphics/CPU chip getting too hot. I suggest you try cleaning out the ventilation grilles of your notebook and also make sure that there is no obstruction to the free flow of air through the cooling heat-sink.

Screen Freezes and then goes white

Hi. I'm new to this forum, and this question may already been posted.
Recently when I am watching shows online, my screen will all of a sudden freeze and then start to fade to a grey and then to a white. After a couple moments it usually fixes itself, but in some cases I've had to manually shut it down.
It is starting to do it more frequently (maybe once a day). I've never had the problem before and I've been watching shows online for over a year now. I'm just wondering if there may be something wrong that can be fixed or done.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
I'm using the Macbook with the aluminum casing.
One more question, sorry..... Is it normal for the case to get warm, almost too warm?
Thanks again!

mine does this too, I bought my macbook in currys and I went there yesterday to hopefully get my macbook fixed under a year warranty. I took pictures while my mac was freezing and showed it to them so they performed some tests about graphics I think, then the only thing they said was the heat is the problem nothing else. I've got a transparent case for my mac, they told me to get rid of it and so I did but when I got home and used it for about 30 minutes, the screen freezes again and goes to white. What do I do now? Help please.

Screen freeze and fades to white

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S. Recently it's been kind of warm and muggy in my area so I attributed my phone acting weird to getting a little warm.
The issue I'm having is that for the last couple days my phone would randomly restart itself. That in itself was weird, but it worked fine after the restart, and it felt warm so I figured it was a little hot. I'd stop using it and let it cool down before using it again.
This morning when I woke up, my phone was on. I was using it to check tweets, etc, and it restarted again. It felt warm, so after it reset itself, I went into the brightness controls and went to turn them way down and the control slider had ZERO effect on the brightness of the display. This worried me so I performed a hard reset (holding the home and power buttons) thinking it was just a glitch.
After that hard reset, the apple logo appeared, and then a horizontal line appeared (which was not the standard Apple Loading Bar that appears when you're installing an update or something) then white noise dots showed up, then the screen faded from black, to green, to white, all while keeping the apple logo visibile in varying degrees until everythingn is totally white.
The display itself flickers rapidly, not on and off, but between extremes of dimness. Only noticeable around the edges of the sceen though.
The phone never vibrates, or makes any noises during this process, although it IS able to be hard reset again from that All White Screen.
On one occasion the phone made it past the All White Screen and I decided to perform a restore on it, however restore didnt even proceed 10% before iTunes had an error saying that my iphone could not be restored (an unknown error occurred). Now the phone seems to be stuck in recovery mode. This makes me very sad, and any advice offered would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I would take it into an Apple Retail store and have them look at it. Also, they would be able to tell you if you are within 1st year of harware warranty too.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

If you just got it back and it isn't fixed or something else is wrong with it take it back and have them do the repair correctly.

In Firefox 4, how do I change the order of plugins on the Add-ons Plugins manager page (I turn Shockwave Flash on only to see videos - having it off prevents screen freezing - and so I want it stay at the top of the list)?

Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.

Is that all the information available? Nothing else happens? Sound or icons or anything? Try starting up while holding CMD V down and take pictures of the screen and upload them here

Screen freezes and goes white and whiter but works when moved?

okay so my macbook had this issue with the screen where it will freeze and slowly turn brighter with horizontal distortion. when i tilt the screen back or forward it will flick for a few seconds then work normally.
it started about a month ago and it's gradually getting worse and worse. now i actually have to 'stretch' the screen far back to see whats going on.
i believe that it could be a connection issue between the monitor and the logic board but wont take it to a macstore just yet because i still want to find a way to fix it myself.
another thing is- i've been reading some posts and im not the only user with this problem! i've found a good dozen of people with this same problem(occured between 12~18 months after the purchase) and it seems most of them, including myself, was too cheap to get apple care and has expired warranty.
so please! if you know a way to fix this problem at home please please let me know!
if you have this problem and your warranty expired and live in melbourne, we should visit a macstore and convince(or force) them to fix our macbooks free of charge

Hey Friends,
I have the same problem, it's not as bad as yours seems but its very annoying. It only happens when i use my skype and for a short while after, it doesn't seem like it really effects my computer other wise but it just worries me because I can't afford to pay for software problems and this is the second time my macbook has had a problem. >:( If you find a solution let me know please.

Screen on ipod touch freezes and then goes white.

Screen on ipod touch freezes and then goes white. Ihave restarted it and restored it but it didn't work. Anyone know what is wrong with it and how it can be fixed?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

IPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update

iPhone 6 screen freezes and can't find wifi after iOS 8.0.2 update. Have to do a hard reboot. I am Extremely disappointed and lost ALL trust in Apples Quality Assurance. From now on I'll wait a week before I update.

Hey there Shortos,
It sounds like your phone touchscreen is not consistently working for you after updating to iOS 8. I can see how that would be pretty frustrating. It sounds to me like this could be a software issue or an issue with the screen itself. I would start with the troubleshooting in the following article to help troubleshoot the screen itself:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If that does not resolve the issue, I would next quit all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
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 restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

My iPad screen freezes and will not switch off for at least 5 mins?

my ipad screen freezes and will not turn off or function for at lease 5 mins then just closes down

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

My screen freezes and begins turning white.
