Updated to IOS 7.1 & gets "white screen of death"

Recently, I've updated my iOS to 7.1. Few hours later white lines appeared on the screen until it eventually covered up the whole screen.
I've never experienced having this white screen before so I don't know how to deal with this. Hopefully, someone can help me out on this.
Also, when I tried to hold the home button, I can still hear Siri. I don't know if that bit of info helped but oh well

Do a sync and backup first.

I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve. First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up. I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner. The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:

Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections. If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.

OOB White Screen Of Death: Silverlight Installation required after each reboot.

Hi,
we are getting White Screen Of Death on few user's machine for last few months and a number of users is getting added from last month for the same issue. Earlier we were using the CleanSilverlight from the following site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2608523.
Now we have the following issue that requires immediate fix:
Whenever we apply CleanSilverlight then my OOB starts working fine but it start displaying same white screen after few days without any action (Installation/Uninstallation)
Whenever the system reboots then we need to apply CleanSilverlight and install the Silverlight once again on user's machine to work with OOB. It seems rebooting interferes with OOB application.
Both of these issues are very frequent from last one month. I don't know if any update to windows/browser is the root cause for the issue.
One the system is having the following configuration to run OOB:
OS name and version: Windows 7 32-bit
Browser name & version: IE 8 & Google Chrome 38.0.2125.111 m
Silverlight version: 5.1.30514.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards, Maddy

Hi,
Clean the corrupted Silverlight installation and reinstall the Silverlight should fix the issue:
As mentioned above it does fix the issue but sometimes its not permanent solution, It just pop up once again.
I don't understand why should we downgrade the version of the Silverlight. Its working fine after applying CleanSilverlight
and reinstalling Silverlight.
There must be something that's corrupting it. vize Antivirus, any new update etc.
Also I would like to know why the Silverlight is getting corrupted at all. Why do we need to apply CleanSilverlight?
Still looking for a proper solution.
Regards,
Maddy

IPhone white screen of death: Anyone else?

To All,
Since the iPhone 3.0 software update I have been experiencing the white screen of death (basically the screen turns completely white but the phone still works fine in the background. You just can't see anything) on my iPhone 3g. You can reset the phone and it will come back just fine but a minute or two later the white screen will appear again. After a few minutes of resetting or leaving it alone it will go away.
I would like to know if anyone else having this problem since the 3.0 release. Did you experience this problem before the 3.0 release? Also, does it happen when your battery is around 50% and then stops when your battery is at 20%. Just wondering if the battery is starting to fail and this is causing something in the iphone to freak out and pop the white screen.

That happened to me once and the only was is to fix it is to use recovery mode.
1. Connect your USB cable to your computer but NOT your iPhone.
2. Turn your phone off.
3. When your phone is off, press the home button and connect your iPhone to your computer.
4. Your iPhone will turn on and keep pressing to the home button. iTunes logo will appear on your screen.
5. You can start your restoration progress.
Hope this helps. Thats is how I saved my phone. It also seems to me that the phone you are using right now may had been jailbroken and stopped working.

App getting the "white screen of death" since iOS 8.2 update

Hello!
Been playing an app called Solstice Arena since it came out. Now suddenly the game morphs into the "white screen of death" every time I hit the login button.
I tried all the usual things, turning the phone on/off, reinstalling the app, all to no avail.
Never had this problem before downloading iOS 8.2.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here is a pic:

White Screen of death caused during update of IOS 8.3

My Girlfriend was updating her iPhone 5 to iOS 8.3, A message came in during and she clicked on it. This in turn caused the phone to with to the white screen of death with the apple logo and upload bar paused. We've tried the usual hard re-set, also plugged into iTunes for a factory restore but then it asks for you to click allow on the phone. We can't do this because we can't see anything other than the apple logo.
Every now and then the screen flashes and shows you the home page. and using siri we managed to make a call.
Any help or advise would be great.
Very strange
Thanks
Jamie

DId she bother reading the message that appeared?
That is not a "White Screen of death". That is the reboot screen which the phone does while updating. You should have left it alone. Put the phone in Recovery mode and Restore it in iTunes.

After updating my iOS the display goes white after I end a call or if I get a missed call?

Did you reset your phone like this: Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If that didn't help I suggest having a technician examine your phone. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Why can i not update my apps on a ipad3, only get white screen

3 days ago, my IPad3 said I had a update, but when I hit the update button went to a blank white screen. Now i have 10, same problem.

Apple servers seem to be having a meltdown over the past few days. We just have to be patient.
However, you can still update using itunes then sync to the device. I'm doing that as I type.

Since updating the software on my iPhone 3gs it has developed the so called "white screen of death". The phone has not been dropped or damaged in anyway, the problem only developed after software upgrade. Rung apple and they were less than helpful

since updating my iphone 3gs software it has developed the so called "white screen of death" this happened immediately after software install. It has never been dropped or damaged. I have tried the solution which seems to pop up most of holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds but this hasnt helped at all. Tried ringing apple, who were less than helpful and disinterested as the phone is out of warranty. I am hoping there is a solution which doesnt mean shelling out for a new phone! any ideas?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

New OS update = white screen of death.... can't even open in safe mode

my computer automatically did the OS update today (Jan 31). CRAP. Now I get to 30% on the update bar and it stops. goes to the white screen of death. same thing happened last time I updated (which is why i never wanted to upgrade again).
i WANT to boot in safe mode, but it won't let me. it goes right to the gray screen with the black apple and progress bar until it locks up as a white screen. seems like I've tried every shift+whatever combo, but noting forces it to stop. Any ideas on how to FORCE it to safe mode BEFORE the software tires to update?

I wasn't prepared to pay either so bit the bullet and used the code on the website.
The problem is caused by Apple changing the rules about drivers loaded on boot (kext or kernel extensions). If it finds an unsigned one (as the Trim enabler is) then it won't allow the driver to load, causing the system to hang at the "unavailable" sign.
I appreciate your reticence to use what seems like untested code – I too was wary, but my [albeit very basic] knowledge of programming led me to believe it would be ok. I can confirm it worked perfectly on my machine and allowed the machine to boot normally, but you will have to make the decision for yourself whether or not to try it. I've now uninstalled Trim enabler so that any future OS updates won't affect me.
Might you also be able to restore from a Time Machine backup?
Hope that helps.

How do I get rid of the white screen of death? :(

Hi!
How do i get rid of the white screen of death?
(iPod Touch Gen 2), I don't want to get a new iPod and I heard you can fix it without going to an apple store, are there any solutions..? (:
Please help!! Thank you!!

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 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.

You cant get the files from a dead iPod, however, I managed to solve this problem with my friend's iPod, by putting it into disk mode. Have a read

Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get several bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around within the bands, then the white screen of death and nothing... This happens intermittently and usually restarts OK. Happened again three days ago and wouldn't restart for two days (again the bands/pixels etc) but now operating fine? Any ideas whats wrong with my iMac and what the solution may be? Also gets very hot from time to time, particularly if I'm playing music/watching youtube/movies for extended periods. Mac is 3.5 years old, running OS X 10.6.8, processor 3.4 GHz i7 memory 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing. Use 2nd link if not near an Apple Store or aren’t in the US.
