Help, my macbook screen has turned white after I turned the laptop on?

Hello furniture103
Start with the article below to troubleshoot the issue of just a grey screen. See if you can reset the NVRAM and boot to Safe Mode. Let me know how far you get to further assist you in getting your MacBook to start working again.

  • Most of my icons have turned white after I upgraded the operating system

    All of the links on my ipad have turned white after I upgraded to 8.1.2. Is there a way of fixing this?

    Try restore from iTunes or iCloud backup.

  • My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

    I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
    I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
    What is wrong and what should I do?

    Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
    The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
    Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.

    FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

  • My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
    My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable
    - 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.

  • Menus that animate turn white after 15 seconds

    I've spent some time trying to resolve this issue with animated menus that turn white after so many seconds.  I'm on a Vista, Core 2 Quad, Gateway, 4 gigs of ram; and it's doing well with CS4, but this issue has me stumped.  Static menus are working fine.  I even tried rendering the animated menus also, but didn't help.
    Does anyone have a simple answer to this?
    Thank you,
    LB47

    Hi Hunt,
    After I wrote you this morning, I tried again to work with the Animated Film Menu.  I was able to eliminate the white problem by making the audio track playing the same length as the Film Menu Animation which was 16 sec.
    The original problem was that I was using the full length music track from that video clip.  Instead I exported it to the 16 sec. length of the Film Menu Animation.  Afterwards I did render it, and that went quickly.
    Now that was working as programmed in the Preview Mode; however, after I made the DVD, it only played once and after the 16 sec interval - it totally stopped and went out of DVD play mode.
    In another test before letting the DVD play thru the 16 sec interval, I checked the links and they all work fine, each one bringing me back to the menu and each time the animation played with music in the background fine. But after that interval, it stopped playing and jumped out of the DVD mode again, showing me the DVD Machines Icon which happens to be Panasonic. I tried this twice by making 2 DVD's.
    That’s the latest update for now,
    ...hope this helps to eventually resolve this problem.

  • My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

    My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. If you have the newer ipad just swipe up on the home screen and the shrotcuts will come up and there will be a symbol for screen rotation lock (make sure its off)
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Hi Guys this morning I turn on my macbook pro 13 retina and light white smoke came off, the laptop have only 2 weeks brand new.

    Hi World just this morning I turn on my brand new macbook pro 13 just 2 weeks old and slight white smoke came off the laptop.
    Any help!!!!
    Thanks.

    Make srue you have got a backup of your files and take it to an Apple Retail Store or reseller.
    The MacBook has failed. As your MacBook is in warranty, you will probably receive a new one instead of getting it repaired
