Screen turns white and freezes when I click on a link
also freezes when I click on the screen or try to use the right slide bar. Also getting firefox is not responding.
First, make sure that Firefox is set as the default browser. Ref: [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]] and [[Setting Firefox as the default browser does not work]]. If links in Outlook Express that should open Firefox freeze the entire computer, you could try temporarily setting Internet Explorer (or another browser) as the default (see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser#Using_Set_Program_Access_and_Defaults for one way to do that).
If clicking links in Outlook Express still freezes the computer, you should seek help in a Windows XP forum or an Outlook Express forum ... for example, I found these with a google search:
*http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-networking/outlook-express-6-causing-computer-to-freeze/75fb3e15-0934-4fb9-888b-3d82d6c7ae10

Screen turns dark and freezes, when refreshing deletes written txt
Firefox should be more compatible without blaming others.
While writing this same note, or an email or text, suddenly the screen turns dark and freezes, impeding to edit or recover the work. When clicking Control Shift R , screen/server refreshes and work lost.
Kindly assist and solve this issue. I uninstall and reinstall with no avail, problem persists.It's disturbing that you get ads just starting up the browser. Where did you download Firefox from? Unfortunately there are some unauthorized modified versions promoted in search engine results...
Some things to check:
# Home page -- [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
# Extensions (more detail below)
# Malware -- [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
# Program shortcut (more detail below)
'''''Extensions'''''
Add-ons, and particularly extensions, can override your settings in Firefox's normal dialogs. Use the Add-ons page to review and disable or remove ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
'''''Program Shortcut'''''
Not sure exactly how you do this on Windows 8.1, but on earlier versions:
right-click the shortcut you use to start Firefox > Properties > Shortcut tab
Check the "Target" line and make sure there is no URL at the end. By default, the target ends with
firefox.exe"
with no URL after it. -
my screen turns white and my functions lag on me for instence i try going to my ipod and it turns on but then turns right off going back to main screen. when i click on my settings it takes forever to open up, if opening at all.

If this does not resolve the problem you have a hardware problem. -
My son's ipod touch is not charging because the screen turns white and it freezes up. Trying to reset it and figure out the problem but don't kno what to do.
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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can no longer see my pictures.....the screen is white boxes but when I click on the box an exclamation point pops up. Please Help!!!!
The exclamation point occurs when iPhoto breaks/loses the file path to the original file. So try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot AND
the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

After the screen turned white and the folder popped up, it just kept flashing. After a few minutes the screen just turned white completely and I could hear the noise of the drive. It just sat there still with the noise for a good few hours until the battery died and then my mac just shut down completely. I tried to see if the computer could charge, and it does charge. I just can not turn the computer on no matter what. It is dead. It might be the logic board or the drive...I'm hoping it won't cost me a new computer because I just got this 5 months ago....
Do not attempt to charge as that will only make the damage worse. You need to take the MacBook Air to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians check and see what repair work is necessary. It only takes a very small amount of liquid to cause short circuits and damage.

why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.
Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input. -

I am trying to INSTALL the free trials of AI and PS when I click on the link to install it goes to another page says installing but nothing is happening. I have the FREE TRIAL Creative Cloud Membership.
I am getting very frustrated with this. When I try to install the Creative Cloud thing it asks me to pay even though it says try for free.Hi Mirrormonolith,
Please try the following steps assuming its a MAC:
1) Open Activity monitor and Force quit Adobe CEF Helper, Creative cloud, Adobe IPC Broker & Crash Deamon if available.
2) Try to open, if doesn't work then go to Applications>> Adobe Creative cloud>> Right click>> Get Info>> Click on the Add sign>> Select the user you are logged in>> Give Read and write access.
3) If that doesn't work then enable the root user and launch to update there, check this link on how to enable/sign in to root user Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
Please let me know of that worked.

Every once in a while my macbook pro just randomly instantaneously freezes and the screen turns gray and it has only done it while connected to a high res 22'' Dell external monitor (so far). Usually when this happens I'm listening to music and I noticed my music continues to play but the keyboard is totally unresponsive forcing me to manually press the start button until the computer force shut's down. Luckily I havnt lost anything yet but I hate having to restart my macbook pro that way...just want to know if its a glitch in the software or if I have a more serious hardware problem. This problem has occured maybe 4 times since I got my macbook last summer 2010 so its not too bad, im just worried cause these computers aint cheap.
Duquan,
Macs can be picky about the RAM which they use; the “Your computer restarted because of a problem” message typically indicates a RAM problem. Since you have a Mid 2009 model, it should have 1066 MHz RAM installed rather than 1333 MHz RAM. If your RAM was mislabeled, then that might cast some doubt upon the quality control which that RAM manufacturer uses. My suggestion would be to purchase 1066 MHz RAM from a reputable manufacturer. -
My ipod screen turned white. i had read online that if i hold the power buton and the home button that it would turn off. It turned off but wouldnt turn back on. I had left the ipod on the charger all night and tryed this morning. nothing would happen. but when i checked it this afternoon the battery was dead. when ever i turn it on the password screen fades to white. what do i do. My warrenty just ended a week ago.

IPhone keeps returning to DFU Mode, Screen turns white then yellow when restoring
I recently got a iPhone 3GS, I didnt jailbreak or anything. I was planning to restore and update to 6.1.3. After the restore it went directly to DFU Mode and wont exit. When I restored again, the screen turned white, when the itunes said preparing to restore, the screen turned yellow and restore proccess wont continue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
I have the same problem. An iPhone 4S, 6 months old, stuck in DFU mode, black screen and iTunes can't restore (error 1600). Tried reloading iTunes, tried 3 different computers (Win 7, Vista, OSX) all report the same problem.
This phone has never been jailbroken (don't need that in Oz because my carrier doesn't lock their phones). It still had the original iOS that it came with from Apple.
Like migsiliciousI read lots of post about using jailbreak software to kick the phone out of restore mode without installing a custom OS, but I'm not going to try that as the phone is still under warranty. If there is no simple solution to the 1600 error, then I'm going to have to travel 40km to the nearest Apple Store and see what they can do. -
On iPhone 4, the screen goes dark and freezes when I start Safari
All of a sudden, today I can't access the internet via Safari on my Verizon iPhone 4. If I click on a link in an email or start Safari, the screen goes dark and freezes. What's up with this and what the fix?
Hi
Try holding sleep/wake + power button for 10 seconds, until you see the Apple Logo.
See how that goes.

My iPod screen turned white and won't respond to anything I do.?
I set it on the couch and picked it up and the screen turned white. I tried to reset it (holding the home and on/off button for 15 seconds) and that did nothing. So then I charged it for an hour and reset it again and that did nothing. What do I do? By the way I have the 4th Generation 32GB iPod Touch. I don't know my IOS though, I know I updated it a couple months ago to and IOS 6 it had other numbers too but I forgot.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
