Screen turned 90 degrees - is it a virus?
Hello, suddenly my screen turned 90 degrees anti clockwise. it is very confusing, i am not sure if it is a virus. i was using a macromedia director at the time it changed. I also cannot do a system restore,( i have never tried before but it will not let me do it.) Help! What can i do ?

Hi
I dont think that its a virus.
This is a simply additional graphic card feature which allows rotating the display.
I dont know what notebook you have and what graphic card was installed on your computer but there must be a key combination which enables this function.
I think you have accidentally enabled this option.
On notebooks with an NVIDIA graphic card you should be able to use this combination:
Ctrl + Shift + R
try it

screen turns gray, nothing recovers it but turn off, back on, anything working on is lost
has happened a lot when leaving unattended (not put to sleep), come back to gray screen.
has happened playing game (not on internet) that have had for years, also has happened playing game on internet
has happened today, watching weather channel video
I have run every virus, malware, spyware, etc. scan, removed anything questionable
Windows Vista, 2 1/2 yrs old, just started acting up about 3 months ago, frequency increasing
note: I have suspected since I got this that it runs warmer than I thought it should, I keep it on desk on one of those little fan boards, always plugged in (due to lousy battery life, a common problem I read). No idea if this is really an issue. I am not a geek, but not totally ignorant about pcs.
Had other recent, hopefully unrelated problem - had pc password protected. Suddenly it said my password invalid. Toshiba tech wanted me to reload factory disc, not willing to do that, working with friend, we decided my keyboard was locked up, got to online keyboard from main screen ease of access, played with fn and various f keys, got in. Not sure how we got in, but I no longer password protect. (password same since Oct 07)xi-berger wrote:
@jck & @awaller well not literally every other time, it occurs randomly. sometimes I can work for like an hour or as long as I want and nothing happens, sometimes after 5 minutes *boom* the screen goes black, except of one column with random pixels, i tried to switch to a different console with ctrl+alt+(F1-F6) but it did not work...
do you know where I have to look for errors? I also tried to reinstall the drivers, but it did not help..
I see something like this on my T420 Thinkpad sometimes. It turns out the backlight is just going out. I'm reluctant to say it's a kernel issue and not hardware - I have vague memories of it happening on Windows 7 as well, but that was years ago ...
It happens on Arch and Debian definitely, and the following fix works on both for me:
Opening a terminal (which I have bound to a key) and running "xset dpms force off", then moving the mouse or something to wake the display again brings it back to light.
Try that the next time it happens and see if it helps. Will at least confirm whether it's the same issue as me or not. -

IMac's screen turns blank randomly
Hi,
My iMac's screen turns blank randomly a few times in the past three days. It works fine after I reboost it. But, I have been keeping losing the files I am working on. Any one know what's wrong with it? Woud it be virus or malware? My mac is on OS X 10.6.8. 2.8 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4 GB.
Thanks a lot!Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode
I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?
Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l...
If that does not help, try a factory reset:
1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

I was having some problems with my mac, safari and itunes was freezing alot. I have to force shutdown and when I tried to start up again i get to the login page, type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue for a few seconds and it goes back to the log in screen. What should I do?
Please Help!!Somewhat similar problem:
Put in the password, hit enter, the screen goes blue for half a second, then goes back to login screen and carries on logging in as usual. Drives me mad. It doesn't happen with a fresh Lion installation, nor if booted into safe mode. On the machine in question it also happens to new user accounts.
I've removed all login items, including Startup Items and Launch Demons (pun intended) and Agents, I've compared system login plists with a fresh Lion installation - can't see differences. I've removed Little Snitch and PeerGuardian (no more third party kexts).
@Carolyn: I've done disk maintenance with DiskUtility and fsck and even DiskWarrior, cleaned caches, etc. etc.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Sorry for trying to hijack the thread (as it's not about Lion), but it seemed dead anyway. -
When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login.
Iv tryed this numerious times still keeps going back to pasword. Can not get any further. Tried restart holding shift key.. still nothing. What do i do?Thank you for your help.
I couldnt get to the hard drive/ desktop. Soft login not even working. So i could not do any of that.
In the end i took it to Apple and its actually the hard drive on its way out. A common issue with that series of Mac. Funny seeing i dont use this mac much. However being 2.5 years old and out of warrently, Apple have recognise this issue with this series/ Model and installing a new hard drive at no cost.
Very luck and greatful. And not feeling so dumb that it was something i did or could troubleshoot myself.
Hope this helps others that it just might be your hard drive failing. -
Today I was doing my chemistry homework when all of a sudden my mid 2011 MacBook pro running Lion 10.7.4 started going very very VERY slowly to a point where it was unusable. I restarted my computer and went to type in my password. When I did this, the computer recognized the password and began to boot yet the pinwheel came on and the screen turned gray and went back to the account selection screen. It continues to do this everytime I enter my password and I can no longer access my account. How do I fix this.
You can take some of the steps here, #4, #5 or even trying a #18
Step by Step to fix your Mac
but I suspect your going to first have to create a data recovery drive
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
to get your data off the machine,
then do a #20 to eliminate the bad sectors as that's why your getting the "pinwheel" it's getting a delay reading from the drive, right when your trying to log in too, what a bad spot for it to happen.
Step by Step to fix your Mac -
Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?
Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
JanThat was easy. Thanks. Jan

Hi I am trying to connect my mba mid 2011 with an imac 27" 2011 with target display mode tdm. When I am using a thunderbolt cable nothing will work. When I use a minidisplay cable, both screens turn blue but eventually nothing happens. What is the problem
Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

I've had this setup for a while now.. A 12 inch PB with a CRT 17 inch monitor connected to the PB through the "mini dvi to vga" adapter..
Now this is the problem: since a few days the image on my external screen is green.. It's not totally green, i can see pictures and programs but it's like the color balance isn't right.
First I tried to change this through display calibration -> didnt help
Then i tried to manually adjust the color balance through the screen display settings -> didn't help..
So I thought my crt monitor was broken. But then I connected my PB to another external screen trough my "mini dvi to vga" adapter. And I had the same green screen. Then I knew it wasn't my crt monitor that was broken but it had something to do with my output signal..
Fortunately a friend of mine has a nice 20 inch tft display. I tested the connection again with the "mini dvi to vga" adapter and got the same green screen. But then I connected my PB to his 20 inch screen through a "mini dvi to dvi" adapter and the green was gone! So it couldn't be the output singal of my PB..
So i figured my "mini dvi to vga" adapter must not work properly somehow. I don't know how it could have broken. It happened just like that. I turned off my PB, and when I turned it back on the external screen turned green. I didn't do anything weird with it..
Could this be? That the adapter is broken? Or do you guys think there might be something wrong with the output signal after all?
Anyone encountered something similar?So I went to an apple store today, and explained them my problem. We tried a new "mini-dvi to vga" adapter but still the external screen was green!! Also, when using my adapter that I supposed was broken on another PB the output singal was perfect! So as it turns out, it's my PB thats not working properly..
The guys at the store said it must be somthing with the motherboard.. I just don't think I can miss my PB for more than a few days!! :P -
Hi, i've just updated my iphone 5s to ios7.1 two weeks ago, however, 4 days ago, my phone's screen turned blue then grey. I have tried restoring it through i tunes but itunes keep saying error 40. Can this still be fixed? or does it need a replacement?
Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

For the past month or more I've encountered what I consider to be quite a serios problem with my Macbook pro. The laptop suddenly freezes without warning, the screen turns black, while the hard drive apparently stals and the system no longer responds. The only way to resolve this issues is to restart the computer via a hard reset. After restarting, an error message box shows up asking me to report the error, which I've already done on numerous occassions. The problem occurs at a frequency of 1 every 2-3 days, sometimes more often than that. The error message that comes up is very complicated but contains some key words amongst which includes "kernel." This makes me believe that it's an issue with the video card, and was wondering how I can remediate this problem so as to get the normal function of my laptop back. If anyone can be of any help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Screen turns black suddenly, then re-emerges within a second
Hi,
here's a new strange issue with my new Asus Eee PC: Recently, and perhaps it's because some updated packages, the screen turns black totally without warning, and shows up again as if nothing has happened. That is, no matter what I currently do, at any time the screen turns completely black (not even dark or something like that) for just a second, and appears again simply. Nothing strange can be noticed, my session just continues as if this didn't happen.
I haven't had any success finding the triggers for that behaviour, it seems so accidentally ... be it browsing the web, right after session startup and everything else. What I've noticed though is that it happens only a single time within a session and both on battery and on power.
Graphic chip is an Intel Mobile 945 GME, and I'll add my xorg.conf as soon as I can. Strangely, there is no note in Xorg.0.log either.
What I'm currently doing now is checking whether this also happens in a GNOME session. Sounds strange, but the first time I've noticed this behaviour is with Openbox, and the last days I was using only Openbox. Still I don't know whether Openbox might cause this problem.
I'd be very glad if someone could give me some hints on tracking down this issue. Perhaps this also happens at someone else's machine.
Gratefully,
Leye

Last edited by Leye (2009-06-16 14:31:52)Good to know that there are other people with the same issue as well. As long as I use Openbox, I've deactivated gnome-power-manager, though I hope this will go away with new updates. In the meantime, deactivating gnome-power-manager is o.k.
I don't know though what you should do if you rely on the whole GNOME desktop. -
