So upon startup my MacBook screen is white with some verticals stripes - has it gone bellyul? Or is it retrievable?

It's possible that your display or graphic card is damaged. If these vertical stripes appears during all the time the MacBook is turned on, it's hardware-related, so take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller

Do you have your install discs handy? If so, insert Install Disc 1 and hold down the C key. From the "File" Menu choose *Disk Utility* (Not 100% certain on the menu name, but if you don't see it under "File" check the other menus--it's there). Highlight your hard drive's icon (xx.x Fujitsu, for example) and click the "repair disk" button.
Also check the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status; this info is in the lower-right corner of the Disk Utility window.

Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Part of my screen is white with lines?

My computer was fine a couple of days ago. I had not used it for a few days, and when i powered it up just now, a small portion of the screen is white with a few lines. It annoyingly covers a part of my screen and i hate it. I have already tried restarting my laptop many times. Help! Here is a picture of it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w8tzp70rbzp5eap/2014-11-28%2014.28.50.jpg?dl=0

That is going to require a new screen to fix. Looks like maybe it is a dv6000? If not, please give us the full model number of the laptop. Screens now cost under $75 and are fairly easy to fix.

Qosmio F10-121 while startup screen becomes striped with big purples stripes

Hi !
I suddenly had a problem with my Qosmio. Perhaps someone could help me.
When I turn on my computer, the Qosmio logo appears (sound ok) and then, Windows logo. But here comes the problem, my screen becomes striped with big purples stripes. I can't do anything, it's totally unreadable... Windows can't be loaded, the Qosmio bips and reboot.
When I plug an external screen, it's the same thing.
I tried to use the restoration DVD, but for the instant, it changes nothing.
I see 2 issues:
- A video card problem (but Qosmio logo appears, and restoration DVDs menus are normal
- A big HDD failure (when I plug the internal Qosmio's dd on my other computer, it's very, very slow, and suddenly, HDD disappears)
So, if you have advices...
Thank you very much for your answers, and don't look at the mistakes.
Eric

I reply myself to complete informations.
I can't run the computer in qosmio mode. If my memory is good, I had only to use the tv little grey key when off. If i use the key, the computer shut on, but nothing on screen, caps lock is on.
Other anormality: I wanted to use Kaella fro linux to see if the video card was ok, but I can't boot on the cd, even pressing C key at startup...
I think he is dead. But I bought it only 2 years ago...
Thank's.

Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing

Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing

The normal suggestions.
Close the app,off fully. Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
Then reboot the pad and try the spp again. If same issue, delete the app, then reload it. ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy. If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update. I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad. Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game?

My screen get white with horizontal lines

Hello,
I have an Ibook G3; I bought it in october 2002 in France. A fiew days ago, I took it with me to school, and there all of a sudden the whole screen was white, with many horizontal lines. The system was not responding anymore. But after that, it worked fine again. It happens now more often. I don't know if it's worth to repair, since I don't have any warranty anymore. What could the problem be?
Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you may be having logic board problems. Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
If you are past the three-year time limit, ask to speak to Customer Relations and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
Good luck!

I can't get my computer to boot up. The screen is white with a file folder and then at ? in the middle

The screen is white with a file folder and then at ? in the middle

Before declaring that the disk is dead (which is a common cause for what you are seeing), try the steps outlined in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
This article also has some troubleshooting steps you can try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1417
If you don't have your original system disks, you can boot into single user mode folloing these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1492
and then following the directions for running the fsck command in the second article I list above.
I would try these things before giving up and assuming that the disk is dead. The flashing question mark indicates that a valid boot disk cannot be found. One cause for this is that the disk has experienced hardware failure. However another cause could be that the system and boot files on that disk are somehow damaged (perhaps from a power surge or an improper shutdown of the computer) and in some cases the above repair steps can restore them to working condition.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

When we execute transcation selection-screen should come with some values

hi gurus,
My requirement is whenever user executes a particular transaction,
selection screen should appear with some values by default.
can you suggest me in solving this problem.
its urgent.
thanks,
Bhanu.R

Hi,
for that do like:
A transaction with a variant can have its own transaction code, which you can then use to execute the transaction with the appropriate variant.
To create a variant transaction, proceed as follows:
Choose Goto ® Create vari. trans. from the initial transaction variant maintenance screen.
Enter a transaction name and corresponding short text. Transaction type Variant transaction is already set. The following screen already contains default values for the name of the calling transaction, the variant name, and the client-specific or cross-client variant checkbox.
Save your entries.
Example:
Variant ABC has been defined for transaction Z000. We now want to create the variant transaction ZVAR.
Name of the new transaction: ZVAR
Name of the calling transaction: Z000
Name of the variant: ABC
Transaction ZVAR starts transaction Z000 with variant ABC.
If the variant specified for a variant transaction does not exist (in the current client), then the calling transaction will be started without variant.
Regards,
Renjith Michael.
