Post-wake blank screen with mouse.

After waking up my iMac, it sometimes gives me a blank (black) screen with only the mouse showing. I can move the mouse, and pressing escape makes the 'not allowed' noise. It's a model 7.1 iMac running on an Intel Core 2 Duo and OSX 10.5.8. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

What computer do you have? Check the label on the bottom for the model and part numbers.

  • New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

    I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
    I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
    I'm not sure what the problem could be...
    Here is my output from 'startx'

  • Satellite L300D boots into a blank screen with mouse cursor

    Hi,
    I have been asked by friends of mine to help them fix their L300D. Their son got to it and they are not sure what he did, but now when it loads into VIsta, all they get is a Black Screen with a mouse cursor in the middle. The cursor looks as if it is at a lower resolution than the normal display.
    I thought this would easily be fixed by running a restore, but it does the same thing when I load the restore function (via holding 0 on boot), and even the copy of Windows 7 I tried to install as well.
    I think it might be a hardware issue, but before getting them to contact Toshiba Service for a warranty repair, I thought I would post here and see if anyone has any suggestions on what it could be.

    Hello
    Well buddy, if the same issue appears if you load the restore function and also with Windows 7 I think its a hardware issue.
    You can try to load the default settings in BIOS Maybe it works.
    To be honest I think the best way is you contact the nearest authorized service provider. The technicians can check the notebook and exchange the hardware if there is a hardware problem.

  • Hp Pavilion 23 Blank Screen With Mouse Cursor After Hp Logo (Not Windows Logo)

    Hello my computer wont start up all i get is a black screen but i have a mouse cursor. after a little bit the computer will restart and do a automatic repair but nothing happens it just keeps on rebooting. i tired to do a bio update but it seems to not be working. there is no option in the bios to update or even in UEFI. i also did a harddrive test and got a Short DST Check fail (FAILURE ID: 909HVX-0007K0-WPU2XF-60WH03) but i still can get access to the harddrive using a Linux LiveUSB and all files are there. (Product Number Is : H5P60AAR#ABA)

    It is possible to receive a false DST check but not common.
    It doesn't mean your hard has failed but that it is in imminent danger of failing.
    You can try again but this time using the Extended DST test.
    But before doing anything I suggest you back up all your important data using that live Linux boot disk just in case.
    Every hard disk manufacturer has their own diagnostic boot cd/usb. Google it.
    You should create one and run it for your brand hard drive.
    You should be able to determine which brand you have from the BIOS/UEFI hardware tab.
    While your'e in there double check that your boot priority is set to hard drive first.
    Your other issue seems to be the dreaded 'Automatic Repair Loop' which could be caused by your possibly failing hard dirve. I would fully diagnose the hard drive first.
    Here's a link with several suggested fixes. Some of them require a Windows 8 boot disk, other do not.

  • HELP with Satellite Series - P305-S8837; displaying blank screen with cursor

    Help! I have a the P305-S8837 laptop in the Toshiba Satellite Series. I have had the laptop for several months now and it's been working fine until now. I was using it this morning (on the internet) and it started freezing up and so I hit Crtl + Alt + delete and selected the option to restart. It restarted and asked which mode I wanted to start it up in (safe mode, safe mode w/networking, etc.) and I selected the normal option. It started out fine - little windows logo came on with the sound and then went into the Welcome Windows Home Vista premium page (that's like bluish greenish) and then afterwards the screen just goes blank with the exception of the mouse cursor. I let it sit for about an hour and there was no change. I have tried pressing the Crtl + Alt + delete and that has had NO affect. So i manually turned it off and then back on using the power button and tried starting it up in Safe mode w/networking and then just safe mode - both are able to get to the welcome screen but after that it's just a blank screen with cursor and it says safe mode and stuff on the border. Crtl + Alt + delete does not work in the safe mode w/networking but in just the regular safe mode it will go to that same screen that is the welcome and ask if I want to lock the computer, change users, start task manager or restart / shut down. I have selected the restart option and nothing happens and then the Crtl + Alt + delete option no longer works. I have tried manually starting the laptop with the battery unattached and just using the AC Adapter and that has had no impact. I have tried just using the laptop's battery only with no AC Adapter and that has had no impact.
    As you can see, I am in desperate need of some assistance! Please tell me what to do!
    Thanks

    Turn the computer on and immediately press and hold the F8 key.
    On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Repair Your Computer.
    When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
    If that doesn't do the trick, go back to the System Recovery Options menu and do a System Restore.
    If that doesn't fix things either, go back to the System Recovery Options menu, choose Command Prompt, and follow the directions here

    After swapping out a failed raid5 drive this vm began displaying inpage operation error popups while checking folder permissions.  event viewer errors:

     The file system structure on the disk is corrupt and unusable. Please run the chkdsk utility on the volume C:.
    chkdsk /r run from the win2k8r2sp1 install dvd command line resulted in more corrections than i was able to screenshot:
    After this the server would only boot to black screen with mouse cursor.  same black screen result in safe mode or directory services restore mode.  sfc /scannow, startrep, and registry repair from the folder contents @ c:\windows\system32\config\regback
    have been attempted with no improvement.  I am still able to access the filesystem contents using the command line from the win2k8r2sp1 installation DVD -  user + registry files copied over to another drive without problem and i was able to load
    the registry hive on another system.  This server was doing dns, domain controller and certification authority but the only important item is getting the CA back somehow.  Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi,
    According the information you have provided, the file system is broken.
    After the repair, do chkdsk /r and sfc /scannow give any warning or error?
    If yes, it means that the file system and system file are not repaired. Please post the error or warning here. It may give some hints.
    Best Regards.

    If a reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    Not super happy for myself unfortunately! I'm having a problem with a Capture Image in WDS. I have a Sysprepped Dell 6440 running Windows 7 x64.I've created a Capture Image in WDS from a boot image with drivers injected and without drivers injected, but every time I boot from PXE, it gets to the windows loading screen, and then it just shows a blank screen with a cursor.I'm using Microsoft's OpenLicense ISO as a base for the boot.wimI can't find any solution that works. I've tried mounting and unmounting the WIM, restarting WDS, etc. This is getting really frustrating as I'm so close to having these images ready.The blank screen won't do anything, won't open a cmd with Shift+
    F10 or anything. I've also tried booting on a different machine and it does the same thing.Any suggestions are...

    You may get a reply here but it's best to post a question in the columns it naturally belongs to; in this case Dell forums.

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

    If there is no loading bar, it's usually a problem with a third party kext file in OS X itself.
    You can press the power button down to force a hardware shutdown, then reboot holding the shift key down on a wired or built in keyboard, this will disable them and you go around and update your third party software.
    Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
    Also take this time to backup your users files off the machine if possible.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Sometime that won't work and you need to do more

  • C655D 5210 tosiba black screen with mouse pointer

    I have only had this computer for 8 months. One day I turned it on, and windows kept restarting. After a few trouble shooting steps off the internet, I decided to reinstall windows 7 and lose my data and start all over. The first time it could not repair the computer and asked me to send the information to microsoft. Cannot boot in safe mode, I can get to the setup utility screen. This is a new Windows 7 cd. After several tries, it installed and said it had to restart, (this may happen several times) it only restarted once, then a black screen with a cursor. When I try to boot from the cd, the windows logo apppears, then a black screen with mouse pointer again. Toshiba is no help at all. This is my third Toshiba laptop. The first one did the same thing. But it was out of warranty, the amount they wanted to charge us, i just got another one. My mom's Toshiba just died with no real reason, the old one is in the garbage, and this one is only 8 months old. Toshiba would like us to send the computer in, pay for shipping, wait for 3 weeks, pay to ship it back to us, with a promise that it may not work.

  • Blank Screen with cursor after login Windows 7, Unable to start new tasks

    My problem is similar to the well know Windows 7 Black Screen as referenced by Prevx, though different. When I boot my Windows 7 computer, the login screen appears as always. Following entering the password for default user,
    the screen will give the impression of login, but the final result is a plain black screen with the cursor only. The black screen appears indefinitely and the Windows GUI never appears. The only available option from booting in normal mode with this is Ctrl-Alt-Del
    (Task Manager). From analyzing another computer with Windows 7 Professional, my Task Manager is missing the following user processes: dwm.exe, explorer.exe, and taskhost.exe. Additionally, it is missing the following system processes (possibly irrelevant):
    spoolsv.exe and wmiprvse.exe.
    When I attempt to start a new process using Windows Task Manager, an error message will appear saying “Windows Task Manager has stopped working” and forces you to close Windows Task Manager. This includes starting
    any process such as cmd or explorer.
    I attempted to boot into safe mode. 
    The result was the same as above. Then I attempted booting into safe mode with command prompt. This showed some hope. Following authentification from the login screen, the command prompt appears with the same blank screen with a cursor behind it. Initially
    I attempted to run msconfig.msc to run a clean startup. System Configuration Utilities opens briefly then displays the error same as above. “System Configuration Utility has stopped working” and again forces the program to close. Then I tried to
    open regedit. This works with no error messages! So I have access to the registry, but have no idea what I should modify to get my computer running normally.
    Things I have tried:
    1)   
    Restoring to last know good configuration. (No result)
    2)   
    Repairing Windows configuration. (No result)
    3)   
    Scanning the drive 3 separate times for viruses with both Avast and Symantec. (No viruses detected)
    4)   
    Repairing the REG_SZ value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell as proposed in
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprogeneral/thread/5b94b775-992e-4f48-b3ff-c89b3cf45e82
    5)   
    Executing Prevx’s fix file as proposed in
    http://www.prevx.com/blog/140/Black-Screen-woes-could-affect-millions-on-Windows--Vista-and-XP.html
    Any ideas are much appreciated.
