Only white screen visible upon start up - normal hard drive sound.

I tried to connect to a montor with a DVI connector but it's not getting a signal. Is there a quick fix? (School project today!!)

it's not getting a signal.

... must list your display, or it cannot automatically set the resolution and draw a picture on it.
If your MacBook uses Mini DisplayPort, the most common issue is that the plug is not completely inserted in the jack. You must push the plug until essentially ALL of the metal part disappears inside the jack.

    Reboot into Safe Mode (hold the shift key down at the sound of the chime, release when the progress bar appears) Safe Mode will take longer to boot than normal.

  • PowerBook 15in 1.67GHz Aluminum showing only white screen.

    Hi, My PowerBook 15-inch 1.67GHz froze when I left it for a half an houre while charging, then it does not start up at all while the screen stays blank dead white after it's first normal chime. If I insert a CD/DVD, it will not respond, all functions have gone completely dead.This happend while I was in France, there, the electricity current drops (lights go dimm) if another appliance is swithced-on. I am wondering if the surge burnt someting in the PB? BTW, the PB never had any problem. Should I change the logic board or could I change the graphic card? Can you help?? Many thanks
    PowerBook G4 15in Aluminium.   Mac OS X (10.4)   showing white screen only.

    Hi Looule,
    That is funny, all day yesterday I was trying to reset the PRAM after a tip-off on the net, and managed to get it working, but to my surprise it kept on going to the same old mood as a complete white screen and coming back to normal after resetting, finally can't get it to work any more, however, one time when it was working, I tried to insert the Tiger DVD for installation but it would not let me to push the DVD in (dead). Could it be the internal battery? Don't want to spend money if not sure. Many thanks

  • Iphone 3gs not getting on only white screen is seen, iphone 3gs not getting on only white screen is seen

    my iphone 3gs is showing only white screen. Continuous pressing of home button only voice control is enabled. Nothing except white screen is visible.Please guide it to recover.

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds oh holding both buttons. If still problem. Try DFU Mode Restore. DFU Mode. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode can be difficult to enter sometimes, just keep trying. DFU Mode is a black, blank screen with iTunes saying Recovery Mode.

  • Video preview not working, I can see only white screen.

    Hello, I have been using Adobe Premiere on my Vista64 for a while, but few days ago I started having problems with previewing video. I can see only white screen, which doesnt react on anything I do in premiere (trying to preview movie, add grids etc.) I tried to reinstall many times but only thing I managed after one reinstall was that it started showing me what is on the timeline when I clicked on a timeline, but when I wanted to play preview it was frozen and then it turned white again. Since that it is still white.
    Playback in other adobe programs (such as After Effects) works fine on my computer.
    Would you please help me to find out what causes this problem and how to fix it? (I doubt it is codecs because it worked fine before and then it suddenly stopped working without any change in codecs...)

    It may or may not be possible to verify the usage of such a technology device. And where did you get the idea that it costs $10 to manufacture and sell an iPad? I think the parts cost alone was $260, not counting manufacturing, shipping, storage, retail space, salespersons, helpdesk support, all the other overhead costs, etc. etc.
    With so many people out there trying to scam the system, it will be an uphill battle to try to convince anyone that you bought it and didn't open the box for 14 months.  That's very unusual.
    At some point, the store you bought something from (in this case it was Apple) has to say no.  What if it had been unopened for 2 years, or five years, or 20 years? This is what the warranty period is all about. It starts on the day you buy it and ends at the end of the warranty period, regardless of usage.
    I am sympathetic to your plight but if you are able to get a new iPad (refurbished would be more likely), it will be through the kindness of Apple going above and beyond.  If you do not get one, it is not Apple's fault you waited this long and there is no requirement for them to replace it.

    I show warning message:
    Warning: Application has not specifiad its permission requirements in application.xml
    NOTE:The AIR SDK no longer support packaging android application for use with the shared Runtime
    The application has been packaged with a capture Runtime
    But when I start my HelloWord-application on Android-device - I see only white screen.
    Whats wrong?

    Okay. I've found an answer:
    yes, you can and have to add these icons via the descriptor file, since flash wont let you. But before you do that, go into the "Air publish" settings in flash. Here, right on page 1, there is the "include files" section. Add your icon pngs there. Hit OK and exit these settings. Now open the descriptor with an editor outside of flash and write in the files like I posted above. Close. Save. Make it write protected. No go to flash and publish.

  • Design Studio 1.3 applications shows only white screen on Mobile BI App (iPad)

    Hello Design Studio friends,
    after upgrading or BI platform (4.1) Design Studio Add-On from version 1.2 to 1.3 we could no errors, everything works fine. But now we have the issue, that all of our Design Studio Applications do not work on iPad.
    All mobile Applications are listed correctly in the overview in the Mobile BI App. But after starting one application the loading screen is running and after loading only a white screen is displayed. No data, no components, no variables screen etc.
    Do you have any idea about the reason of our problem?
    Here some additonal information, what we have done:
    After upgrade we restartet the BIP and checked that all services are running.
    We saved new Design Studio 1.3 Applications on BIP.
    We run the Design Studio Applications local (everything works) over BIP on Desktop clients (everything workds), via Mobile BI App (iPad iOS7, newest iOS Version and newest App version) (only white screens are shown).
    We deleted all metadata on iPad and reconnected to our BIP.
    Our DataSources, integrated in the Design Studio 1.3 applications, are based on SAP BW Queries of a BW 7.4 system.
    Many thanks for help and your support.
    Kind regards
    Patrick

  • IMac wont boot up, only white screen, advice needed.

    Hi,
    my 2008 iMac 24" got the spinning beach ball, it was spinning for 5 minutes or more, so I held down the power button and did a force quit, now when I turn on the machine I hear the chime , but I only get a blank white screen, Ive tried starting up with the Shift key pressed, also tried starting up with Command + V pressed and Option + Command + P + R keys pressed, but still the white screen, can somebody suggest something I can do to resolve this....thanks

    Can you start the Mac from the Install DVD? If you can, go to Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu and check if the HDD shows in the left column. If it is not there it is damaged in some fashion. If the iMac is under warranty call Apple Care and arrange for warranty repair or replacement (Apple's choice.)

    In the middel of updateing my IPod the connectione stopd and since then the device is not working. only white screen no connectivity to win or to the Appstore

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I record a quicktime screen recording directly to an external hard drive?

    I want to record a screen recording directly to an external hard drive (or flash drive/SD card) and I've heard that doing so will improve system performance by reducing the workload somehow. I'm not entirely sure.
    Is that true, will it work, and how do I do it?
    Help would be much appreciated!

    I think USB is much slower than your internal HDD connection and you might start losing frames. The system itself will do the same job... the only where performance may increase are the actions where you need to read/write from/to the disk i.e. open an app or save file.

    Sounds like a permissions problem ie read only.
    If running repair permissions from your DiskUtility.app does not sort it,
    Someone should jump in here with erudite and concise fix.
