Safari-Two Finger Swipe = White Screen

I was under the impression that the latest updateto Safari was supposed to fix this issue. But whenever I browse this forum and two finger swipe to go back in safari I get a white screen that lasts anywhere between 5-8 seconds while the page reloads. Any fix for this?

Go to System Prefernces and Trackpad or Mouse, depending on which you are using, and see that the gestures you want to use are all checked.

Safari launches to blank white screen them locks

When I launch Safari, it opens up to a blank white screen. No matter what URL I input, The page doesn't load and the viewer window stays blank and white. No error messages or anything! Any ideas?

Hi Glenn,
Check to see if you have a recent crash report logged to this file:
Hard drive > Users > Your Username > Library > Logs > CrashReporter > Safari.crash.log
Each report in there will start with a timestamp so find the most recent one and post it here please. The most recent one should be at the end of that file.

Solaris Newbie: Install hangs @ White Screen

I am trying to install Solaris 9 on my x86 box. The configuration is a 1.2 GHz AMD chip, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB master, 40 GB Slave, DVDROM 2ndary mastar, ZIP 2ndary slave. The 80 has a Linux setup, the 40 has a big partition that has about 1 gb of swap space and the rest blank. I want to keep the 80 primary, 40 slave, remove the swap and chaos from the 40 gig, and put Solaris on it. I can set my bios to boot from the secondary drive, so that isn't a problem. The thing is when I try to install after I select the CD as the kernel source it goes to a white screen and hangs there. Any help would be appricated immensely. (or emensely?) Tch. Thanks in advance,
the8088er

NB: If you change the X86 disk configuration as suggested, than:
set the harddisk jumper to "master" and
set the DVDROM disk jumper to "slave".
How the jumpers should be set is most often printed on the labels of the disk or on the metal near the jumperblock (for CD drives). Most often you find: ma, sl & cs (cable select)
If you can't find it there than one should look into the drive manual on on the vendor web-site.
Also, especially with older bioses, one has to reconfigure the bios to reflect the new situation.
If, with newer bioses the isa setting is set to auto-configure, than the new cofiguration will be accepted without intervention.
If, for some reason, the change result in malfunction e.g. hang during disk selection
than recheck settings (jumper & bios) or revert back to old configuration.
PS: This information might be overcomplete, but I don't want you to and up with a black screen instead of a white one.
Good luck,
Eric.

Browsers(Safari, FireFox, IE) show blank screen

Folks,
It would be great if you can help solve this problem.
I am using a 12" PowerBook running OSX 10.3.9, and using Safari to login to a web page for the pass month without any problems. However, since yesterday Safari shows a blank white screen after I have signed in. I have tried using the Admin account and my personal account with Safari, FireFox, and IE to access to that page, and they all produced blank white screens as well. I have installed Flash media player version 9 a few days ago, but am not sure if that was the culprit.
I went to a Mac store and was able to login using all the Macs that I have tried, so the problem shouldn't be on the web site.
The following is the source file when the blank page was shown:

Obviously I don't have copies of your external JavaScript or VB scripts, so if the problem lies in those files, then the following may not apply.
When I tried to load your source code in Safari v2.0.3, it reported:
TypeError - Object (result of expression MM_FlashUserDemurred) does not allow calls.
Generally what this means is that the object/function MM_FlashUserDemurred cannot be found.
Double check those script files to ensure that the function is in one of them. If it is in some other external script file, then you may need to add a link to load that file too.
Who knows? Perhaps flash was already pre-configured on those Macs at the mac Store and such a function is preloaded.
Best of luck,

Recently when clicking on Safari, it refused to open saying there were some components damaged. It was suggested I backup, remove OSX and reinstall. Now all I get is white screen and apple logo when starting. What to do?l

I Have an iMac desktop purchased in 2010 with OS X 6.1.6 and Snow Leapard. Recently after starting up, I was not able to open Safari. I checked for updates and all was well. I tried again and got a message saying Safari could not be opened because some components were damaged. After using Disk utilities to try and repair, it was suggested I uninstall OS X and reinstall from the disk. I did not at the time because I wanted to backup some info to a USB drive. But now when I startup all I get is the white screen and Apple logo and the loading symbol. What happened and How can Imfix it? I am not very tech savvy and don't know where to turn!

When I open safari I get a blank white screen.

When I open safari I get a blank white screen. When I open top sites, and choose google, the screen is still blank, with the search bar at the top a quarter full. If it does open, it suddenly becomes unresponsive and returns to that blank, white screen. I'v tried everything I can think of, but nothing works.
On a side note, everything from mail to iphoto to word works - just not safari. I'm using a mid-11 iMac 21.5"i5 running on mountain lion.
Also did I post this in the right place? I'm new to this.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
 ▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Quit Safari again. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. If there's a subfolder with the name "com.apple.Safari", delete it, even if it's empty. Quit Terminal. Close the folder. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Internet Plug-Ins
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

White screen of death - iMac OSX Lion

I upgraded my 2007 iMac to Lion and after a few days of perfect running the think locked up. When I forced the power off and back on it seemed to be booting fine (chimes, apple logo, disk spinning up and I could hear the drive head seeking) but then it froze up in the "White Screen of death" (WSOD). It was complete lockd up again, and nothing would bring it back. I had to reboot again. And again. Everytime it seems to be ok, but then locks up after it the screen goes white. . I did command option , p r keys with three chimes. I have unplugged it and let it sit. I disconnected all periferals. I reset the SMC. I booted into Single User mode and used unix commands to check the HD. No errors found. I disconnected my wireless Time Capsule.
Note that it appears to be booting fine at first with the useaul Apple Logo. And when I boot into the Single User mode all the text indicates no faults. The display and HD appear fine.
I inserted my original OSX Leopard disk and and tried to boot from it, using the "C" boot process and the Option boot method to manuualy select the DVD. No good. It just went into the WSOD again.
I have no idea what to try next!

RATS!
After ersing (and zeroing) out the HD nothing changed. I still could not completely boot up the install disk. I tried the original Leopard disk, and the Apple Lion USB thumbdrive. Both started the boot process, and gave me the grey Apple logo. But then after a minute or two jumped into the White Screen of Death.
I then replace both RAM chips. No change.
Now I have a brick. A very large and heavy brick.
But the computer will woerk as Target Disk Mode, and it actually goes through a normal boot cycle. That is, I can go into the Single Ud=ser mode and all UNIX command work fine.
Does anyone have any additional ideas of what can cause this?

White screen after logging in on OSX 10.9.2

This morning an application on my Macbook Pro kept prompting for a folder after giving a write permission error. I closed the program and tried to restart it with no luck. I then restarted and after selecting my user and entering my password, all I get is a white screen with an arrow cursor. If I hit the power button, I get a prompt to Restart, Sleep, Cancel or Shut Down. That's all the response I can get no matter which user I log in.
Sorry, I'm not that familiar with what specific model I have. Its a 15 inch Model 1286 with a 2010 copyright. OS is Mavericks which I've kept updated, so its likely 10.9.2. It originally came with 320GB drive as I recall which I replaced with a 750GB about the time when I put OSX 10.9 on it.
Fortunately I backed up with Time Machine just yesterday. Any help before I spend the next day reinstalling and recovering?

BozBrak,
you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Are you able to get past the white screen now?

Blackberry 8520 curve hangs, suddenly white screen comes and the only solution is to re-insert battery with power source on?

My Blackberry 8520 curve suddenly hangs giving a white screen and when i restart it - the screen remains white. After i put it into charge - then only a successful start is done. So the only solution as of now i have - is whenever my blackberry hangs - i need to remove the battery - insert it again - and immediately put it into charging via USB/Electric-Power. Even if i re-insert the battery - the white screen comes - unless and until i put it into charging Earlier i was guessing - my battery was weak - but no such problem. pls advise.

White screen of Death. Reinstalled OSX Maverick but data is missing. HELP!

Help! i had a white screen of death on my iMac. Did a check via disk utility and the hard drive seems to be fine. I have partioned the hard drive into two volumes previously.
However, when I tried to reinstall OSX Maverick on the first partition, where it was originally installed, it was pointed out as being full and I was forced to reinstall it on the second partition. No problem with that.
However, when I start up the iMac, there are no files to be found. And this is really very upsetting to me as they contain memories of my family which I really treasure.
Am I doing anything wrong? When I go in to the set up utility and try to select partition 1, it will still give me the white screen of death and that the disk is full
Kindly advise if there is anyway for me to "force" install it on partiton 1 and regain access to my files.

If you reinstalled onto the second partition and used the same username/password combo for your admin user account, then you can boot into the voluime, open up the original volume, and drag your data from it to the same places on the second volume. To reinstall, you need to remove stuff from the full volume.

White Screen on Safari Startup

My proble started with the latest update to Safari. I get a white screen when I open Safari with "Go to this address" in the address bar. I have gone to Safari preferences and reset my homepage several times with no positive results. I even tried to upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion which didn't correct the problem. What next?

Hey Soonerfan591,
I just started getting the same thing yesterday. I'm not sure why. I have OS X 10.7 Lion but I downloaded that like a week ago. I'm searching now to see what may be the issue but it's annoying.
It does not do it all the time either. It will work for a while like normal and then the white screen starts showing up. But, in just a little reseach it looks like it's happening enough that there are many hits for this problem.

Mac hangs at white screen with spinning with loading wheel while shutting down.

I've had a problem with my computer recently that really bugs me, because I been needing to install os x updates, but when i try to shut my computer down, it hangs at a white screen with the grey loading wheel forever until I forcibly shut it down. This has been bugging me a lot, and when I try other peoples' solutions, (e.g. resetting NVRAM, uninstalling apps), I can't figure out what apps to uninstall, and resetting the NVRAM is no luck. I have a console log of the shutdown here:

Just installed OSX Lion - now Safari is constantly hanging up....

I have in the last few days decided to install OSX Lion for my iMac. Now I'm having a consistent issue with Safari (and Firefox) hanging up - I have to keep re-starting my iMac - anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone with a possible solution?
Many thanks,
Garry

Check whether there is a crash report:
Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it to post it here!
