White sceen with blue dots and an apple logo

Hi. I have a iMac and when starting it up I get a white sceen with blue dots and an apple logo. Is my computer totally broken?

  • When start IMac screen is white with no spiral and no apple logo

    Why is my  Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 IMac screen all white when I turn it on?  There is no spiral and no Apple logo and the desktop does not appear.  The screen is just white.
    Prior to this, we had a wind storm in our area with some power glitches today.  After one of them, the dock items disappeared and just the wallpaper was there. The colored spinner began going around when I clicked on the mouse but nothing was happening.   I unplugged it to try to reset it, but now the screen comes up all white, there's no apple logo that appears at start up and that's it.  Now what should I do?

  • HT4623 Tried updating to IOS 7.  Now my phone is stuck on a white screen with two dots and two dashes.

    Tried updating my iPhone 4S with IOS 7.  It is now frozen on a white screen with two black dots and two black dashes.  It will flip to another screen once in a while that says "Slide to setup."  But when I do, it goes back to the screen with the dots and dashes.

    What happened with your phone? I'm experiencing the same problems at the moment.

  • I get a white screen with blue streaks?  Keep turning on and off until it disappears.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But wont work anywhere now

    After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works.  Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support.  Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car.  But won't work anywhere now.  I tried re-setting but has not worked.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

    It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
    Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:

  • Some incoming messages have a blue dot and i cannt delete them

    i have about 12  incoming messages that  have a blue dot and i cannot delete them
    the message is from "no subject" and it says no content
    when i click edit i dont get a white dot that i can mark to delete
    help

    Reset your phone--hold the home button and on/off switch for about 15 to 20 seconds, past the prompt to turn off and release when you see the Apple logo.
    If this doesn't solve your problem, delete your email account.  Reset your phone as above, then reinput your email account.

  • On my MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks.

    On my new MacBook Pro when I am connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable, Facebook pictures do not load. They show up as white boxes with blue question marks. This also happens on a website editor. But, when I am connected to the internet via Wifi, everything load properly. This is my work computer, so I have to be able to connect through the Ethernet cable to access everything. Please help me!

    I mostly use Safari. But I also tried it on Firefox, Mozilla, and Camino. Mac OS X. It's my work computer, so I've only tried it at the office. I have to be connected through the Ethernet cable to access my files and email on the server.

  • HT201412 My I phone five isn't responding and when I turn it on, I get a white screen with black lines and I can't get into my phone. What is happening?

    My iPhone five decided to go crazy and give me a white screen with black stripes and I can't get into my phone. I can only use Siri! What's happening?

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • Red circle with blue dot next to a mail message, red circle with blue dot next to a mail message

    Received a mail message on my iPhone and next toit there is a red circle with a blue dot inside it. Normal messages have a solid blue dot when unread. What does the red circle with blue dot mean?

    I would agree with Barney if the question had been an e-mail in the inbox but in the sent folder I still wonder why the blue dot. I also had this happen for the first time today 6/27/13. I resent both figuring it might mean the mail had not been sent properly.
    No, it means unread, had you opened the mail in the sent folder the blue dot would have gone away.

  • White screen with a folder and a question mark in the Folder

    Hi,
    My daughter's Desktop Mac Pro won't reboot. On reboot, it shows a white screen with a folder and a question mark within, It just stays there and nothing happens. Is this a problem with a dead hard drive, dead processor, faulty USB connection, problem with airport.? We need advise and help, please!

    Hi, Anonymoustache, thanks for responding.
    Yes, I think it is "a flashing question mark". If it is flashing, you think it is a hardware problem like a dead hard drive? I had a flashing question mark with my Power book G4 and Apple replaced a dead hard drive.
    Thanks Hatter, I will convey your response to my daughter and see if it will help.

    I pod touch 5th generation was working fine (Not sure what the last ios i downloaded was it should be ios 8 or higher). The battery died so i charged it. Now that it is charged when i hold the power button the screen turns dark blue as if it's powering on and the apple logo is about to appear but it never does nor do any other type of images on the screen. If i hold the home button Siri will say "Siri is not available please connect to internet" but there is still no image on the screen. I've tried holding down the home and power button it restart it but doing this just gave me the same results. How do i fix this problem? What's wrong with my i pod?

  • White screen with a folder and a '?' ...

    Hi
    I bought my iMac in 2008 and it has work fine and remained just as fast as it was when i bought it unitill last night. I went to watch a film and it failed to load up quicktime and then froze. I turned it off then back on and was given a white screen with a folder and a question mark inside it. At this point i turned it back off again and left it. I found out that this screen is refered to as 'The Screen Of Death' and usually indicates that the Hard Drive is dead.
    Once i had left the iMac for about 10/15 minuets i switched it back on. It loaded my Mac but very slow. Everything is still there but continues to be slow and will crash completely if i open any programme.
    In other cases that i have read the posters say that they cannont get the mac to boot at all once they have seen the white screen. I was wondering if what has happened to me is something different or may just be the fact that its a run up to the inevitable.
    Any information on the matter would be great.
    Thank You

    Hi Brettus and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    This would be a good time for a backup if you can do so.
    You could try to boot from the install disk that came with your iMac, startup holding the C key until after the tone. Then choose the language, go to utilities, first aid, disk utility and run repair disk. See if that finds damage to the file systems.
    If it comes back ok, reboot normally on the hard drive and then run dis utility from the hard drive and repair permissions.
    If you are unable to startup or have more problems, you probably have a failed or failing hard drive.

  • How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

    How do you copy, for example I work with blue prints and I want to copy a section and copy into another new page?

    Forgot to add that it would be an adjustment layer with some kind of mask on it already. The mask is uncentered when copy and pasted which throws it off.
    I guess the same question would go towards doing the same for an object. How to copy and paste it over to a new doc, keeping its position within the document? is this possible?
