What is happening to my Mac.only blue screen appears

After I download the latest firmware and itune I'm getting this blue screen when i open my computer.anyone have the same problem?

Disconnect all wired peripherals, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
After logging in, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • Powers up, but only blue screen appears

    When I power up my laptop, it asks for my password and when I enter it all I get is a blank screen with the color of the Windows background. Won't show icons, won't do anything with ctrl+alt+del. Please help with any ideas as to what could work.

    What's your full model name-number and its part number? There's a Toshiba label on the bottom.
    What happens when you try to start in 'Safe Mode'?

    Starting in Safe Mode Windows 8+ (see option 3 at the bottom)
    Let us know. Good luck.

    If nothing else works, you might try this one. It has worked for many others ...
    Use iTunes to do a reset to factory default condition. Always be sure to do your backups before fiddling with your iPad. You might do both the iCloud and the iTunes backup, just to be sure!

    Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
    SOLVED:  IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
    I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
    Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
    THE FIX:  FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device.  Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
    To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now!  :-)
    Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

  • What would happen if my mac os hard drive failed

    so i have 2 hard drives
    1 for windows bootcamp and 1 for mac
    as it is now, i boot to the windows boot manager then choose my copy of windows.
    what would happen if my mac os hard drive failed right now?
    would the computer still boot and be unaffected unless i tried to boot to mac?

    failure is usually not dead. It can be a bad sector, but usually it is a directory issue or just the partition table (but which require either quick or long format)
    if you have a workstation, you should clone both operating systems; you should not put them on the same hard drive. And you just use the clone you made for each (Paragon Clone OS for Windows $19; Carbon Copy is sharefare for OS X)
    both of those allow booting off the new hard drive while you figure what you want to do or what happened.
    If you only have two hard drives use the other drive bays.
    Basically NOTHING happens if you pull one or the other.

  • After updating to 1.2 then restarted, I have seen only blue screen

    I have seen only blue screen after Apple logo startup, and now it is stuck like that. Nothing happen anymore. What a bad luck I am with this new iMac, I have to hand in my assignments in 2 days and I cannot even go to finder. If i can do that at least I will copy them to my old Powerbook. What the @#$%^&*( is happening with new iMac. I also have a bad experience with freezing problem many times a day, and I have made my mind to live with it until now. I cannot do anything unless typing a problem on my old lovely powerbook. Please help me, I need those assignments to submit to my professors.

    From the number of posts regarding the same issue with 1.2 and any ipod with a color display (both my ipod nano and video ipod crapped out), there is obviously a serious bug with this "upgrade."
    I agree we should give them a chance, but I find it unacceptable that after this amount of time that the Applecare support technicians, up to TIER 3, have never even heard of this issue. They wanted me to return my ipod(s) in for factory service even after I numerously reminded them that they both work perfectly once downgrading to 1.1.1!
    I am a long-time apple-geek, but this issue upsets me because it is so uncharacteristic of the standards of excellence Apple has always provided, and smacks of the pervasive frustration we all deal with when using Microsoft products.
    ......and it is especially frustrating that all of the purchases I excitedly bought once videos are now provided at 640x480 resolution are not playable with version 1.1.
    But with version 1.2, the higher resoultion videos are transferable to the ipod, but no videos are playable due to this firmware incompatibilty.
    Apple: do you read these discussion forums??

    What operating system version, and do you have any backups of your data off the machine? TimeMachine? Option Key bootable clones? Storage? DVD's?
    A reinstall of the operating system may be in order as a last resort, so if any of these steps on these links get you into the machine, make sure to backup your personal data (Music, Pictures, Documents, Movies) off the machine to a non-encrypted  powered external drive regular storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted too) and disconnect as soon as possible.
    Good Luck and report back all what you tried.
    Also report what change occured before this tragedy happened, was there a  Software Update? A EFI firmware update? Etc.

  • HT3680 my dart up disc is full, comp turns on but only blue screen comes up

    start up disc is full , comp turns on but only blue screen?

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
    If your computer did not come with Lion or later pre-installed then do the following:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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 the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    Disconnect all devices from your computer if you have not already done so.  Restart again.  If the problem has been resolved, you had a peripheral conflict.  You will then have to reconnect the devices one at time, restart,  to locate the culprit.
    Login Items is another culprit.  Check your login items.

    Delete/disable all you do not need or want.

  • Blue screen appears

    I've bought my S10e in April 2009. it worked properly until a month ago when i was browsing, this blue screen appears suddenly and Windows (XP SP3, home edition) restarts. It happens too fast that i cannot read the message. after logging in this message rises: the system has recovered from a serious error.... and i send the issue to Microsoft. I use Google Chrome as browser. I think when i'm online using WiFi, it happens. I uninstalled chrome but it happened again with Firefox when it tried to open a web page reporting the problem to Microsoft.
    I used the check disk tool in Windows but didn't help. I've two drives, Windows run on C: capacity=30 GB, free space=4 GB.
    I've run CCleaner to optimize registry before these blue screens.
    I also have Kaspersky Internet security installed on my netbook. it works fine.
    I've got all Microsoft updates.
    Is it the problem of bios? or what?
    please help me because i'm very dependent on my S10e.
    Thanks

  • Sometimes Blue screen appears on Satellite M70

    Hi there
    I must express my overwhelming frustration with my satellite M70 laptop as I have it for more than a year now(warranty expired) and almost from the get go it had a problem in wich a blue screen appeared and the pc reboots...from the error report it is a problem with the graphics card and/or display driver.
    I did take it to my local retailer for repair but the problem still remains(gone there 3 TIMES! each time waiting for more than a month for repair!and they did send it to toshiba service...)... as the problem doesnt happen *all the time* it seems they just didnt notice or something :(.
    I did update all the drivers but it had no effect on the problem...
    So now what?? Do I send it to repair and they finally replace the graphics card...but I pay??!!
    This is all very upsetting for me as you might imagine...
    And know its worse...it seems to be happening more and more...and many times the computer wont reboot after the bluescreen...it just stays black.
    Now almost every time i turn it on it wont boot...the fan will just work for a few seconds and thats it.
    Im almost certain the graphics card is defective...can I replace it at home? Argh this just feels wrong, the computer had this problem almost from the start and I sent it for repair...they just did not fix it...I shouldnt have to pay to fix it as I sent it for repair 3 times while it still had the warranty...
    Please reply I'm desesperate and have no idea what to do

    Hi Andrej and thanks for the reply
    But the thing is I have already done that countless times...and the problem is still there...same old same old :(
    I have tried seemingly everything...thats why I say its gotta be hardware :S
    Having this in mind Id like to know if there is anything I can do(concerning hardware) without resorting to Toshiba service
    Keep in mind that Im pretty sure it is the graphics card that is faulty(I dont know if its onboard or not)
    Also sometimes when I turn it on the graphics on my pc go weird like an abstract painting or something lol...thats another reason to think its the graphics card.
    So anyone can help me?
    Thanks in advance for your replies :D

  • Blue screen appears during start up

    Hi! My macbook before it bacame a blue screen, shows that the start up disk is almost full but i ignored it...and then suddenly it doesn't start up anymore and shows only blue screen with arrow...pls help! I don't know much about computers! :(

    Boot up in Safe Mode.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, you need to delete data in order to free up disk space, ie., photos, video, etc.
    When you are in Safe Mode, control click the MacintoshHD icon on the desktop then click Get Info. You'll see Capacity & Available.  You need at least 15% available disk space.
    Then click Restart from the Apple () menu.
