N80i Startup White Screen

Hi, just got my N80i a few days ago. Just this morning when i went to turn it on, the screen went white and stayed white for quite some time. The word Nokia didnt appear so i assume it froze/hanged.
None of the buttons worked so i had to pull out the battery. I left the battery out for about 1 hour and tried again. It worked this time though.
Thing is i did try the 3 button reset thing, but it didnt seem to work as the phone didnt prompt me for anything.
Just wanted to know what is the cause of this white screen appearing on startup. How can i stop this from happening again.
Firmware is the :
v4.0632.0.38
13-10-2006
RM-92
Nokia N80 (530.01)
Thanks
Any help is much appreciated.

Firefox Long startup White screen 2-3 seconds.

I went on my computer today and it worked fine, but then I went away for a bit and firefox updated. Now with the new version it does this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojOE6kB9iCc
I reset my settings, I installed an older version (that video was older version) but then I ran firefox in safe mode and it boots instantly into firefox with no white screen and no menu bar issue like I have when it is not ran in safe mode. Now I looked in my addons and it says I have none installed. Do i have to delete my personal settings and loose all ym passwords or is their a way I can back everything up (i backed up bookmarks) but I want to delete everything from firefox on my computer and start fresh and I want a backup incase it goes wrong.
Can someone tell me how do i backup my personal settings like saved passwords and cookies?

Somehow i fixed it by reseting firefox which gives me a backup folder on my desktop. I completly uninstall firefox and remove settings, then install the latest version, and I replace my old profile and go into the .ini file and edit the new path.

ok someone please help me my mac mini wont go past the white apple start up screen i have tryed unplugging everything for 4 days that dident work i have tryed everthing i can think of and i really dont want to go get it fixed i dont have any money soo please help meee

Hi Spencer
This is the Safari forum for problems/questions specific to Apple's browser plus related Internet questions.
my mac mini wont go past the white apple start up screen
Usually this indicates a problem with the hard drive or logic board. Are you using an Intel or PPC machine?
Did you try starting up from your Installer DVD? If you can do that, perhaps HD file corruption is the problem. To check and possibly repair file errors boot from your Installer DVD holding down the C key after inserting the Disc/pressing the power button for a restart. After the Installer fully opens select Disk Utility from the Utility menu, highlight your HD, then select "repair disk". If errors appear, rerun until you get a clean pass.
I'm going to ask the Moderator to move this post to the MacMini Forum.

Nokia 6234 Startup White Screen Of Death

Hello,
I've been using the Nokia 6234 for quite a while but suddenly it stopped working. when I try to start the phone the screen flashes a couple of times and then it goes back to sleep. The battery icon is visible in the top-left corner. I cannot do anything after it starts. Most interesting is the fact that if i try using a different SIM (other than Vodafone) i get an error message and I'm asked to enter the restriction code . This part works excellent - i can write numbers without the phone shutting down or smth else.
Does anyone have any ideas about the problem?
I've tried entering reset codes - they don't work, Nokia PC Suite does not get in touch with the phone because it's shut down, i do not know anything else to try.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've seen this happen to the sister model, the 6233. The cause is usually corrupted firmware or by having several 1000's of messages in the inbox/sent items.
If it won't fully boot (to the main screen) with or without a sim then there is nothing that you can do yourself to fix it.
The only option is to take it to a nokia care point for repair.

MacAir over 45 Second white screen on startup

Prepared New MacAir (Lion), wiped all partition, install via DVD and install only Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise with no mac partiiton, on powring on get white screen after teh startup sound which stay for over 45 sec, but if I hold alt/option during startup, white screen stayes for 15-16 sec and get bootdevice menu, selecting the HDD to boot get windows login screen in 5-7 sec, which is way better then looking on white screen for over 45 sec, seems searching for boot drive or some like that, Any help will be appricated, Thanks

my question is not related to changing the screen or so, I am concern about the long delay before system boots up, it was not the issue with previous MacBook Air. not sure may be the new MBA is looging for wireless network as it have option to boot from wireless network, if so can we disable some how not to look for wireless network?

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

My PC won't startup normally or in safe mode . I have a white screen with a flashing folder icon which has a ? on it. How do I get it to start?

My PC will not start normally or in safe mode. I have tried several times in safe mode. All I have now is a white screen with a folder icon containing a ? questiomark. This icon is flashing. No cursor available.

The blinking question mark means the startup drive can't be found.
It could be that it has failed or needs major repair. Boot from the Snow Leopard DVD and run Disk Utility.

White Screen during Startup

Everything was working fine on the Mac until about an hour ago when I tried to install software updates and then the screen fades and a message pops up saying the computer needs to be restarted by holding down the power button.
After doing that, the computer is now stuck on a blank white screen every time it is restarted. FYI, there is no external hard drive connected to the computer. Here's what I have tried thus far to troubleshoot:
Completely disconnect from the electrical outlet and restart.
Restart with the OSX Install disc in (also tried this holding down "c", both times just goes straight to white screen and won't do anything else)
Tried resetting PRAM (it made the second chime but still wont go past the white screen)
Restart in single-user mode and safe mode (still just stuck on the white screen)
Tried restarting with any USB cables disconnected
Tried restarting with the Ethernet cord disconnected while holding down the D key per the instructions in the "Everything Mac" book (only thing connected was the keyboard + mouse)
NONE of this has worked or caused any different result, it's still just showing a blank white screen.
Can anyone suggest another possible solution or cause for this problem?
Thanks!

My iMac is brand new, barely 2 months old. I've been getting the white screen quite often at startup. The only way I can get past it is to hold down power and reboot. One thing I've noticed... I'm pretty sure it only happens when I have external drives connected. If I shut down with my hard drives mounted and restart, I tend to get a white screen. If I disconnect them, startup is perfectly fine. I'd hate to have to disconnect Time Machine every time I power down, though. What a pain. Just installed Snow Leopard; perhaps it will fix this (though it did not, sadly, fix the missing "new mail" sound, so who knows)?

IMac won't startup - freezes on either white screen or Apple symbol

Got my 24" 2.4GHz iMac on release last year, with Tiger. Installed Leopard on it on release day.
The problem I have is that ever since a botched Boot Camp installation I've had endless problems with certain applications hanging during their startup (notably Image Capture) or refusing to quit (notably iTunes). Force Quit doesn't resolve these issues. Restarting doesn't work because Force Quit can't quit them so I have to pull the plug or otherwise force a shutdown.
Upon restarting I either get the grey screen that instantly appears, or, if I've pulled the plug and left it for a few minutes I can get to the Apple symbol but no spinner or any further start up action. Occasionally I get lucky, get back up and running, and all is well until the next crash.
All this started happening when I decided to try installing Windows on Boot Camp again. I've had it on here a couple of times since Leopard was released but usually end up deleting it eventually because either the Windows installation gets bogged down or I get bored with it and never use it. Anyway, this time, using the same discs I've always used (and yes, it's SP2, so it should be fine and anyway it's worked at least twice before) when I got to the 'restart to continue installing Windows' bit, I got the white screen and nothing happened. After an hour or so of praying and restarting endlessly trying to get a response, I finally got it to recognise my OSX installation and was up and running again. The Boot Camp volume didn't appear to be there and Disk Utility revealed zero problems whatsoever. Everything looked fine until these recurring hangs, refusals to quit apps and screwed up start-ups.
Any ideas? I don't have the expensive Apple support, but it's less than a year old! Of course, I realise that this means nothing to Apple, who seem to think I should pay a premium in order to have my machine warrantied by them for more than 90 days. Grr...
If I get it up and running I'm thinking I should just wipe the ENTIRE system absolutely clean and re-install Leopard and then use my Time Machine backup to put all my data back on (pricelessly valuable as I use the machine to work on my photography with), but I'm concerned that if there's a flaw in the System somewhere, a corruption, that installing the Time Machine backup will just reintroduce the error. On the other hand, if it's a deeply embedded and invisinle partition corruption from the bad Boot Camp installation attempt, that should be fixed by wiping the entire drive to reinstall Leopard, right?
Any ideas? I'm absolutely sick to the back teeth of this now.
Many thanks,
Owen

But service support means dragging my iMac down to an Apple Store after making an appointment that's no doubt a couple of days away. Taking a 24" iMac on public transport in London isn't something I particularly want to do.
It did actually start up eventually. I left it sitting on the Apple logo and after a few minutes it restarted itself and all was fine, until a couple of days later when two apps failed to quit, and force quit wouldn't do anything. Neither would Terminal, or Activity Monitor (it was BBEdit and Photo Mechanic this time).
I was forced to pull the plug and since then nothing whatsoever will get it past the Apple logo. Tried popping the original Tiger DVD in and running the hardware diagnostic and it says everything is fine, but trying to restart from the Tiger DVD, or the Leopard DVD, or any other DVD that's bootable, or the hard drive, or an external hard drive - all of them result in hanging at the Apple screen. Tried safe mode, tried holding Alt to choose a startup drive, everything.
What the heck do I do now?!

White Screen of Death at Startup - Boot Camp Based Problem

I recently received my Intel-based 20" iMac yesterday and this morning I set it up and transfered all of my files from my old Windows XP computer successfully. I then played around with the iLife suite and a few other programs and decided I should probably run Boot Camp and set up Windows for a few Windows-based programs I need and some games that are Windows only.
I started to look up Boot Camp on the Apple website, then realized iMacs that came with Leapord pre-installed should already have Boot Camp on them. I searched in Spotlight for "Boot camp" and found the "Boot Camp Assistant." I thought that was close enough, so I started the application up.
First, it told me I needed to partition my hard drive and create a space for Windows. I figured I would have only a few esential programs on it, so I opted for a partion of about 10-12 GB if I remember correctly. The installer then told me to insert my Windows disc and I then put in my Windows XP SP1 installation CD. It read it, shutdown, then booted back up into what I recognized as the Windows setup screen.
It went through the normal setup steps, until it got to a point where it asked what partition I should install Windows on. There was only one partition listed, so obviously I chose that one, but what was weird was the partition said it was over 100,000 MB, which is not the 10 GB I told it to partition. I got scared when it told me it would have to format the partition since it wasn't suitable for a Windows installation yet. I figured it wouldn't hurt to recheck the amount I partitioned, so I quit out of the Windows installer.
Next, my Mac restarted and went to the infamous white screen of death.
I have tried basically every single way to fix this.
I tried:
Alt - Option - PR (Reset the PRam) And waited for both 2, 3, 4, and 5 dings
Alt
Option
Shift (Safe Mode)
Put in the Mac OS X disc and booted up holding:
D
C
None of these worked. Sorry if my key abbreviations are off, by the way, because I'm writing this on a Windows laptop and I haven't gotten the keys down for Macs yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Apple call support is curretly closed, at least in my timezone. I'll probably try calling them tomorrow, but mostly I'm afraid of having to get a whole new harddrive and/or iMac. I haven't backed up my data anywhere yet (this is just my first day with the Mac) so if I lose the data, there goes upwards of a few thousand dollars in music and other data expenses.
Thanks in advance for ideas, I'll try anything you throw at me now, as long it doesn't void the warranty or involve formatting my hard drive. (Though if you know a way to format my hard drive AND save my data, that would be even better)

All the data that you transfered to the iMac should still be on the PC which originally contained the content. Transferring to the Mac is in reality only copying.
A Boot Camp Windows installation requires Windows SP2 only;
To use Boot Camp, you need:
1. An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.
2. Mac OS X 10.5 or later
3. The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
4. At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
5. A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
  Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2. 
6. Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).
Just an idea for you. There is an entire Apple Discussion forum dedicated to Boot Camp and Windows.
Whereas, not everyone here with an Intel iMac has installed, tried to install or has experience with BC & Windows, everyone there has or at least has an interest. You may attract help more quickly there.
The Forums are at the bottom of the main Apple Discussions page under Windows Compatible Technology. Here is a link;

White screen on startup 2010 Macbook pro

The computer worked fine a couple of days ago, when the computer was given to me. I reformatted and reinstalled OS X through disk utility to remove all of the previous data. It worked fine up until I took it took school. When I took it out of my school bag, I thought that I had broken the LCD because of the plain white screen with nothing working; not even OS X Utilities would open. I have tried the suggestions on the apple page for "Gray screen appears during startup" but none of these do anything. I have tried everything that I can, I replaced the hard drive, tried to boot with recovery assistant thumb drive in, tried starting while holding Control R, tried holding Option key. The only things that these soloutions have gotten me is, the folder with a "?" and a cursor over the white.
I am running out of things to try here as, I do not have the CD's and I know nothing about Mac's. If anyone could help me get to the point where I could open Utilities I would be forever thankful.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

White Screen, Apple Logo, Spinner on startup after failed software update.

Hi, so my Macbook was performing poorly this morning and I decided I would try to install updates. The updates started normally, but around halfway through the bar stopped moving and the text underneath it said, "Running Installer Script." I left it alone for about three hours, came back, and saw that it was still doing the same thing. I decided it was time to try to reboot, and foolishly held the power button down for several seconds until it turned off. Upon turning it back on, I discovered that it would only go as far as the white screen with the apple logo and the thing spinning under it for about 20-30 seconds, then the screen will go black and it will try to start up again. I started it in verbose mode and it gives the following errors before crashing:
disk0s2 i/o error 0 [level 3] [readuid 0] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype io] [errno 5] [iotype read] [pblknum 233675120] [lblknum 540]
disk0s2 i/o error 0 [level 3] [readuid 0] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype io] [errno 5] [iotype read] [pblknum 233674536] [lblknum 467]

I haven't tried booting from the disk because my disk drive has been broken for a while and needs to be replaced. I assume this problem is my fault, but I would very much appreciate anyone's input on how to resolve it.

White Screen With Apple Symbol and Turning Gear Appears At Startup

I downloaded the most recent software update with Mac OS X 10.5.4, a security update, and some sort of Safari update (not so sure). After I restarted the computer after the update, everything was okay. A few minutes later, I decided to restart it while troubleshooting for a wireless internet problem in the house. As normal I heard the tone and saw the white screen with the Apple symbol on it and the turing gear, but my Mac did not log in and the gear kept on turning for about half an hour. Now, every time I hold down the power button in an attempt to fix it, it always does the same thing. I tried pressing different key combinations at the startup and the process in which I disconnected the AC adapter, took out the battery, held down the power button for 5 seconds, put the battery back in, and connected the AC adapter, and that didn't even work.

What a worse coincidence with out the 10.5.4 upgrade though. Exact same problem. Tried booting into single user mode No shell/command prompt, boot with Leopard DVD. DVD got stuck.
Was so ****** off. Its 1 am in the east coast and I have all my work stuff on the MB
Finally did the Zapping and it booted back. was sweating in a 65 F temperature. **** it.
Now Should I run verify disk or not?? What kind of impact does verify disk has?
It probably is disk intensive but it does not screw up right? Does it run fsck?
*That said, the whole problem came up when I used a flash drive from a windows PC to copy some files to my mac. I have done that innumerable number of times. Why would it freak out now?*
