My Yahoo app has a grey screen overlay

Every now and then, my Yahoo mobile app on my iPhone 4S has a grey transparent overlay over my Inbox items. If I tap the menu item, the Inbox pane slides to the right and reveals a black screen with vague white outlines of the folder icons that I can't identify. Anyone else having this problem? I can't figure out how to stop it from happening, or how to go back to white, other than logging out and logging back in again.
I'm afraid of this happening to my other apps. Thanks for any thoughts.

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    With a corrupt disk, the install procedure is most likely going to fail.
    How old it the disk?
    You might be able to reformat it to fix the problem. Of course that means you lose all of your data.
    The other alternative is to get a new disk drive and put that in your Mac and install OS X
    Then put the old disk drive in an enclosure and see what can be recovered from it.

  • My MacBook has a grey screen with a folder and a question mark in the middle what does this mean?

    My MacBook has a grey screen with a folder and a question mark in the middle what does this mean?

    It means a valid system cannot be found. You need to reinstall OS X.
    If you have Snow Leopard:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    If you have Lion or later:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • My macbook pro has the grey screen of death.... i have tried a few things to get it re started.... it is not backed up and i really dont want to loose everything on it :(

    MacBook pro has grey screen of death, it all began when I tried to install something new last night like my laptop asked and when it went to restart, it went grey....
    tried start up in safe mode and nvram/pram
    on safe mode it said ' the volume macintosh hd could not be repaired '
    My MacBook has not been backed up and it would be heart breaking if I lost everything from it...
    can anybody help?!!!

    Be prepared for a broken heart...
    It's obvious that you need a new drive - when you purchase one you should also purchase a USB enclosure for your old drive and connect that drive to your machine to see if you can rescue any data from it. You may have to purchase a utility such as Data Rescue 3 or DiskWarrior (each $100) to facilitate restoring some of your data.
    And start a couple of backup schemes... when you can't afford to lose data, a couple of backup schemes can help.

  • MacBook Pro has a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.

    MacBook Pro has started to get a grey screen with circle and slash and will not start up or start into safe mode.  This happened once previously, however, it allowed a safe mode reboot and then worked for a week or so.  While utilzing the machine, it started with the spinning beach ball for about 5 minutes, went into a shut down mode and then rebooted and came back up with the grey screen with a circle and slash after a few minutes.  For the past three days it has been stuck and will not allow it to boot into safe mode.  Any idea or suggestions?

    Try starting the MBP with the OPTION key down.  If you see two HDD icons, select the recovery Icon.  From the 4 option menu, select Disk Utility.  Select Disk Utility>First Aid and run Verify and Repair. 
    If you cannot get into the recovery partition, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.

  • Photoshop CS6 CC liquify just has blank grey screen.

    hi i am currently on a trial for CS6 CC version on Windows 8 but every time i try to liquify an image all that happens is a blank grey screen. The weird thing is i can click and edit the area of the grey screen and if i click OK to finish the liquifying it has edited the image! Why can i not see my image whilst in the liquify screen? I've tried to change all the settings and stuff but still nothing?
    tom

    You have Show Image unchecked and Show Backdrop checked, but I suspect the problem is a stale video card driver. Make sure you have the latest driver by downloading it  directly  from the video card company website. As another test, if you press the Alt key  immeadiately  after starting Liquify, it will start in slow CPU mode which does not use the video card or its driver. If that works your driver is the problem.

  • My imac has a grey screen wont boot from hhd pls help

    hello,
    I have an imac from late 2008 with snow leopard. Late saturday evening 24 Mar I had powered
    down my imac then later turned it on. Now only a grey screen appears, nothing more. If I leave
    the imac on a folder with a question mark appears and blinks.
    I have tried the following to fix the problem and ALL HAVE FAILED:
    they are:
    1. resetting the pram. it doesnt work.
    2. booting from the installation cd. The imac doesn't even READ the cd, the screen remains grey and doesn't
    read the cd at all.
    3. booting in the safe mode. nothing happens, the screen remains grey.
    4. booting in apple hardware test mode: nothing happens screen remains grey.
    5. boot with option key pressed, so as to choose mac HD or my windows partition. nothing
    happens, the screen remains grey.
    All of these have failed to fix the problem.
    When I power on my imac I heard the chord, a slight spin of the HHD I'm sure that's what it is,
    and then nothing.grey screen.
    I have tried unpluggling the power cord for 15 seconds, reconnecting it, waitiing five seconds
    and then powering up the imac. it doesn't do any good.
    any help anyone can provide will be appreciated.
    do you think it is a hard drive error or failure? 
    why doesn't it read or boot from the instllation CD??  and yes I am using the correct disk.
    thanks folks for yr help and opinions.
    Alfonso

    Ok. so you stated the screen remains gray. Is it just plain gray? Does it have a folder with a question mark on it? Do you see the little pin wheel thingy?
    You also stated you can't boot from the install disc. Turn the machine on and put the disc in the drive. Shut the machine down by holding down the start button for five seconds or so and wait a further 20 seconds. Restart the machine and hold down the 'C' key before the chime and keep holding it down until the machine boots form the disc. It can take up to three minutes to boot from the disc. Once it has booted from the disc select the language and go to the Utilities menu at the top and run the disc repair utility.
    The hardware test is built in and should work regardless. Turn the machine on and hold down the 'D' key before the chime and keep holding it down until the hardware test starts.
    I fear you have not given enough time or used the correct procedure to do the tests you state you have done.

  • I-MAC has the grey screen on start up, then shuts down after trying to load (bar shows 30%).

    Shutdown my I-mac and next morning the grey screen appears with a loading bar which gets to 30% and then i-MAC shutsdown. Went into Utilities and it shows my files etc. but the verify and the repair disk have not corrected the issue(s).
    What else can I do before I take it to the apple support. I live in Brunei and past history suggests that the Apple Support will just erase everything on the drive and I will lose the lot. I just want the photos and my own CD loaded music.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    - 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.

  • IBook has a grey screen with HD in

    Hi,
    I recently bought an ibook off of ebay for a good price and all it needed was a $54 hard drive. So i went to Newegg - my favorite website for buying - and bought a Western Digital HD. I took the time to open (painfully) my ibook to put in the new hard drive and afterwords i assembled it enough so that I could test it (because i'm still waiting for a $2 replacement hinge). But when i put in my OEM OS Panther CD in, it just poewrs up the cd drive and then powers down, but doesn't power up again (as it usually would). The screen just remains grey with no marking on it.
    I think the problem is the hard drive i just put in because without the HD in, it will run from the CD fine - it brings up the apple logo and then i shutdown becauase theres no place to install to. But with the HD in, it won't read the install cd or a boot cd i borrowed from a friend (for testing purposes).
    I've tried holding down the -Option- key and it won't load like its supposed to do. There are only the two arrows.
    Is there anything I can to to the HD (like reformat for Macs or something) that will aid my problem??
    Please help me!

    Hi, Jack.
    There's no way to format the drive if you can't start up from the Install CD.
    What should happen with a new hard drive is that it should start up from the CD and allow you to select the hard drive to reformat it and install the OS.
    Is it possible that you have inadvertently disconnected (or neglected to reconnect) the optical drive? Could you have the jumper settings mixed up so that neither drive is recognized?

  • CC app has blank white screen, not downloading anything?

    I just download the CC app to my Windows 8 laptop.
    After going through all the steps, everything seemed fine.
    But then I went to download the Adobe Flash [The animation program] trial version from the site, and the CC app pops up from my desktop, but it's just a blank white box.
    On the main site it says:
    Flash Professional is downloading now...
    But NOTHING is showing any sign of it doing so on the site, downloads, or my computer.
    I've never used this site before, and don't ever recall downloading Flash at home, only in school.
    I search through my files/programs, and nothing related is there.
    I appreciate any help.

  • Disk repair and Apple Hardware Test says HD has no problem but grey screen still persists on MBP

    5 days ago while on vacation, my MBP just froze with the grey screen, apple logo and spinning gear.
    I performed all that was instructed on the following discussions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 
    except  Archive and Install installation of MAC OS X and Erase and Install  MAC OS X since I was able to save my files in  my husband's MBP via Firewire Target Disk Mode. At this point, I am still apprehensive in erasing my files and installing again the MAC OS X.
    When I did the Disk Repair under the Disk utilities, it says that my Mac Os X is ok.  (It also said ok when I did the fsck -fy when I till did not have my CD when I was on vacation)
    I also tried the Apple Hardware Test (AHT)   to further l test the hardware of my MBP and performed an extended checking and after an hour, its says that my HD has no problem.
    Yet, after all these, when I restart my computer, it still has the grey screen with apple logo and spinning wheel! 
    Can anyone tell me what else can I do??? Appreciate any help!

    I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free,  Leopard and Snow ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
    You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it. I use DiskWarrior for that instead.
    I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
    With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on PPC Macs but are on some Intel Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs, on the main drive, or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive.
    That's why I like clones better then Time Machine. You can just bootup on them and use your Mac.
    On the DiskWarrior thing, I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand. It has repaired every little and big issue I have ever had with my  three Macs.
    And I have had times when Disk Utility's Disk Repair says everything's fine but my system was still having issues. Disk Utility, in my experience, cannot be totally relied on to find and report all issues. It just isn't robust enough.
    I run DiskWarrior, it does find errors, repairs them and I'm back in business. I swear by it!
