The dreaded "green screen"

This is really bizarre, and I'm very confused as to why this is happening. iChat is allowing audio to go through, but the built in iSight is not working. When I open Photo Booth, all I get is the green screen. I downloaded the update Apple suggested, and still, no luck. The weird thing is the camera works fine on Yahoo! Messenger for Mac...any suggestions?

Hi David,
If Jan's suggestions does not work they try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist in /Users/(your Account)/Library/Preferences and restarting ichat
Also check that System Preferences > Displays is set to Millions

Please answer once and for all the boot green screen

I have searched everywhere for an answer since my issue.
Relevant info:
iPhone 3GS.
iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (2012-09-12).
Doesn't matter what system I have since this is related to an iPhone device.
Fully charged battery before proceeding with the update.
Updated the iOS 5.1.1 of the iPhone to iOS 6.0 through required update recommendation of iTunes.
Never been abused, jailbroken, serviced or dropped. (never had issues until the update)
Once completed the updated process of iTunes and iPhone was done with the internal installation, the iPhone rebooted with a green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It loaded up to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
I pressed on the power button for 5 seconds and slide "slide to power off" and the iPhone turned off. I waited about 15 seconds and pressed on the power button to turn the iPhone back on, hoping no more green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" but returned to the original green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver".
Failed!
It still showed green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" and booted to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
Remedies tried after searching the internet:
Hard Restart/Reset.
DFU Mode. (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery Mode (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery from Backup is denied because previous version was iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes refuses the process so (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Left the iPhone at the Configure screen until battery drained and then plugged it back into the USB port of system until it charged long enough for the iPhone to boot yet again green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It booted to the iPhone Configure screen which is still the green screen/hue and I left it charging until battery icon top right showed full.
Now, can someone give a straight answer while staying on this topic about this issue, please?
*I can understand if the apple logo was green then it could be a screen issue but it is not the case.
All help is greatly appreciated even if you took the time to read all of this but did not answer.
Thank you!

I made a CF/Flex site based on the Flexstore sample app,
using a database instead of XML as the data source; in case you
want to see it:
http://www.timos.com/dg/flex/DilemmaGames.html
At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be
glad to make my project code available to you. Good luck.

After the dreaded balck screen w/ pwr symbol my user accout is gone but...

Wow I finally got to a block to type in! I have no idea if I am in the right place but here goes: I got the dreaded black screen with the white power button symbol. Started up from original system disk only to find that I was no longer around. "User" as I was known had disapperedalong with all of my files. However they still occupy the majority of my hard drive space. I cannot find any files which I had previous to the incident. My hard drive was giving me "out of space" messages prior to the event and I had thrown away some nonessential files etc. Also found permissions way out of whack and repaired all. HELP!

John,
Find your G4 laptop on the list at the newer hardware pages here and see if you get a response from more users. This area is for really old stuff!
Good luck,
Jim

BT Netprotect and the dreaded white screen

I see a lot of negatives on this site about BT Netprotect but it has always worked for me. My pc has a decent processor and memory bank so resources have not been a problem. So you can imagine my dismay when Netprotect would not load and simply presented the dreaded white screen. More dismay when I could not remove it using windows 7 or ccleaner. Tried all sorts including a big old swear at the inanimate object. Feeling better at having got my frustrations off my chest I decided that for whatever reason Netprotect had gone. In a moment of pure genius (blush) I decided to try and reinstall. I logged into my BT account and followed the links. Downloaded the files and watched with childlike smugness as McAfee deleted all the old files and reinstalled new ones. One check for updates and a full scan later and the smugness was at swmbo is gonna slap me levels. It was worth it, it worked. If you have the same problem it may work for you. Downsides, stupid program made me delete Spybot and Malwarebytes as "unsafe", now reinstalled and working fine. 'Ells bells, BT labs use Malwarebytes! Netprotect may not be perfect, is resource greedy and can frustrate you, but the white screen menace can be beaten.
Of course when I boot my pc tomorrow (okay today now), if I see a white screen and a McAfee logo, swmbo may yet see a grown man cry.....

Glad you got it sorted. Reinstalling often sorts out problem software, having said that I still wouldn't have BTNetprotect on my computer. I have never heard of any other antivirus giving any problems like the amount that BTNetprotect and McAfee does.

The best green screen work flow for FCPX

I over 300 clips done in green screen. Some clips are 10 seconds some are 5 min. I need to prep them for import into Motion 5 where they will be keyed and background graphics will be added.
The way im doing it now is dragging the chosen shots into one storyline then do one massive export of all the clips to one clip.
Does anybody have a better way of doing this?

Right now there is no roundtripping available for clips in FCPX --> Motion --> FCPX. Your only option is via your current method (export/reimport), or as James said, start your workflow inside Motion.
Use the Feedback page to enter the feature request to Apple (I've done this already myself).

The Dreaded Blank Screen

In Photo Booth, I'm getting the green screen that I've seen others post problems with. It's also not working in iChat or iMovie. I have a Macbook with the internal iSight camera.
Does anyone know of a way to fix this, and if I need a new internal camera, any idea on how much it's going to set me back?
Thanks.

The dreaded Restart Screen

My PB has gotten into the habit of requiring a restart every 30 minutes or so. I'll be working and the dreaded grey/black screen comes down saying that I need to restart my computer (the one with the power image). I've rebuilt the drive twice using Disk Warrior. I've also checked the computer several times using Disk Genius. They both keep telling me that there are no problems, but still the dreaded screen returns. I attempted to take my laptop to my local Apple store, but there was at least a 3 hour wait. Is there any advice you can offer?

Here is the last one before I turned it on to answer your question.

I have the dreaded blue screen need HELP????!

I was just downloading the updates and then the computer restarted and the screen is blue, mouse still works. I was looking at other articles for bluescreen but it was for an installation of Leopard problem. The program I have in my computer is 10.2.3.Somebody wrote to hold down control and s. it took me to single user type screen that looked like MSDOS. I put /sbin/fsck -fy which they stated to do. I pressed enter it said something but I forgot what. I restarted the computer and now when it is loading up it stops when it says waiting for application services. I think I dug myself in a bigger whole when I typed that stuff in the MSDOS type screen. SOMEBODY PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT OF THIS WHOLE?

The Dreaded White screen (display) issue

Hey guys,
I have the ol' white screen problem. I can mount, restore, and everything just fine but instead of showing menu's the screen shows a white screen.
I have tried all the 5 R's and even restoring again and again. From what i've read here (since my ipod is out of warranty) I'm pretty much screwed and will have to buy a new one. My question is if I wanted to replace the broken part myself, would this be the logic board?
All of this started because I dropped my ipod 2ft onto carpet at work
Thanks

They sell replacement parts, but not the logic board.

New twist on the dreaded white screen when renting movies

I have been hit with the nasty white screen after renting a movie. After reading the discussion forum, this is apparently a "personality" issue with ATV and Apple has not yet found a fix. However, after performing the "pull-the-plug" reboot, which in the past has corrected the problem, I now have a new problem. When the main menu appears after reboot, it is frozen and it does NOT respond to the remote. The only command it recognized was the menu + "-" reset command. When it resets and comes to the screen asking for restart, diagnostics, or factory reset choices, the remote works. But when you select restart and get back to the main menu, it freezes. (I ran diagnostics and ATV says it feels fine.) For some reason, a bug is preventing atv from recognizing any remote commands. Right now I am in the 24hr movie viewing window, and I will let that period elapse to see if the corrupted white screen rented movie just dies its deserving death and releases the main menu back to my command.
I guess my ultimate ploy would be factory reset, but then aren't I put back in the position of re-syncing my 6,000 songs, and photo library?
Anyone else have this glitch??

yes that's correct.

Any answer to the dreaded white screen?

Besides "send it back to apple"?
I'm a few months out of warranty. Everything works fine except the screen is bright white. I've searched but can't seem to find any solution other than send it back. Does anyone know what even causes this? Has anyone found a solution or sent it back to apple and found out what the problem is?

See this.
iPod 5th gen (with video) shows blank or white screen.
Worth a try even though it's not specifically for nanos.

When i delete a app i have had the dreaded black screen and i have to put my iphone 5 in dfu mode and restore it can anyone explain why this happens

when i delete a app my screen goes black and i have to put in dfu mode and restore it didnt happen till i upgraded software any reason for this

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Day 2 of the dreaded black screen

Hi Mods
I got to work this morning. and downlowed ituned to a pc at work win 8.

Ituned went a lot further and for the first time the screen image
looked stable .
Got past restoring iphone stage and then got a new type error

I seem tobe making some progress as I got the image of itunes up on the phone with the lead below
when i plug into itunes it goes straight into restire mode. It is very slow
is this normally a slow process

The dreaded white screen

just before, i was on my macbook, and noticed it was freezing up alot, i went to force quit some programmes and it froze totally on the force quit box, after waiting 5 minutes, i gave up and manually shut down the computer, when i went to turn it back on, the chime sounded but then stuck to a white screen
how do i resolve this as soon as possible?

Thank you! I've tried and tried to reset it but I never get the apple icon. I never thought to let the battery completely die. Hopefully that works.
I did notice tonight that it doesn't stay on very long after I disconnect from the computer USB. Does this sound like a larger problem? I'm trying to do what I can before I resort to shipping it in for service.
Thank you!
Tracey
