White screen after I upgraded to snow lepoard

I recently try to upgrade my Mac system to Snow Leopard. It showed up on my screen and began to upload. It restarted itself now it will not come off the white screen with the apple. Why is it doing this?

is there anything besides power, keyboard and mouse plugged in?  if so, remove all the other stuff.  if you're still hanging at the apple logo screen, put the SL DVD back in (if you ejected it) and restart the computer holding "C" to start form the install disc.  run disc utility  and see if it finds/fixes a problem.

  • [Solved] White screen after KDE 4.11.1 upgrade

    Hi!
    I updated the system going from KDE 4.11.0 to KDE 4.11.1. On reboot I got the correct loading of KDM, but upon arrival on the desktop the latter is presented fully white with big red button with an "X" in them. Thinking it was the configuration of kde, I deleted .kde4 with the effect that the next time I always white screen (that is only the red buttons have disappeared).
    I try to remove completely kde with:
    pacman -Rsnc kde
    and seeing that reinstalling I get the same result, I also tried to clean up the cache pacman packages listed by the command:
    ls kde*4.11.1*
    so I redownload and reinstalled with:
    pacman -Syu kde
    without solution. I also tried to do what is recommended in the wiki, that is in addition to eliminating .kde4, I run:
    $ rm ~/.config/Trolltech.conf
    $ kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
    without solution.
    Thinking then it might be the partition / almost full, I checked with:
    df
    but the partition is not filled even for half of the 30gb that is available.
    I checked some logs and these are the outputs:

    Thanks Thaodan! I deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and I solve the problem! I also restore .kde4_backup and at the moment have no issue.
    Small question: I noticed that there are also kdecache-kdm and kdecache-root. I should remove it or doesn't matter?
    Thanks for the help!
    THANKS, my White Screen was caused by a combination of issues but this solution worked for me.
    My Problem -
    I am not sure exactly what caused my white screen, I was playing around with /etc/profile & /etc/sudoers
    What I changed -
    sudoers - I added my user group to sudoers and allowed sudo to execute applications using xauth in home dir
    profile - changed umask to 133 ( I hate execute bit ) and default text editor to nano
    What Happened -
    Tried to reload via source but no changes where taking effect so I rebooted. 
    Upon reboot I could not login to KDE, it would keep looping back to the KDM after I entered by password for my user, however it would let me login as root ( after I enabled root login ).
    I figured this was a permission issue so I changed umask back to 022 in /etc/profile, I was then greeted with the White Screen after login.  I read numerous posts about how to fix this, most said to reinstall kde and delete /tmp, none of this worked.
    I deleted /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER and now I am back in business ( I had to re set the widgets, i.e. panel ).
    I was so excited that I had to write a post about it!
    Thanks again!

  • My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

    My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start 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 the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Mavericks white screen after login

    After upgrading to Mavericks my MacBook now goes to a white screen after login screen. Anybody having same issue? Any solutions?

    Reinstalling Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. 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, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks 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.

  • White screen after unlocking... now wh

    Hi.
    It seems that my creative zen gives me a white screen after unlocking while playing music.
    I tried cleaning up and reloading firmware but to no avail.
    I run firmware version: .2.0
    I also noticed that half of the times I switch on the device I get a 200% of brightness... if I switch off and on, brightness returns to normal.
    Is my device faulty? Should I return it for another? Should I wait for a firmware upgrade? What am I supposed to do now?

    I came back to say that the serial number of my product is : MAPF 260 747M 0996 7Z and was purchased only two days ago (not directly from creative.com).
    I' ve heard about people complaining that the White Screen issue is getting worse over the time. Should I, or shouldn't I ask for a replacement unit's
    ?please advise me.

  • Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

    Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
     What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
    Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
    I have tried these:
    1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
    2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
    Thoughts and suggestions?
    Solved!

  • IPod 4th Gen has white screen after replacement, and restore

    Okay. Here's the problem. A while ago, I dropped my iPod, and it's screen cracked. I've been living with it ever since perfectly, but just with a cracked screen. Now, I ordered a new screen, and I begin to replace it. I knew how, and like an easy job, I did it pretty quick compared to others. After both ribbon cables where in, I pressed the lock button, and my iPod had a white screen. I was a little worried about that, so, I tried to reattach the screen. Now it was just black, after even using the home and lock button restart method. Eventually I got it back up and to the white screen by draining the battery and recharging, and there I was again, stuck. I looked at some forums on the internet to try to see if anyone had my problem. After clicking on the first link, it turns out, alot of people had this problem as well as me. The solution they said was pressing the home button and lock button for about 10 or so seconds, and then it goes to the apple screen and is all better again. I tried it, and my home button broke. Great. So, now I had to use the little button that the home button was pressing down to try the solution. Tried it, and, nothing. Still the blank, plain, white screen. Looked some more and saw that pressing the home and lock buttons along with the volume up button worked for some people too. Tried it, worked just as good as the previous one. Nothing. I even tried some person's idea of doing home, then volume up, then lock, in different timed stages. Nothing. I also saw people begging for them not to restore their iPods and begging for a solution. I was fine with a restore, I just had games that I played on my iPhone as well. So, I went with it, and restored it, without any backups, just going to factory mode. Afterwards I heard my iPod make the iOS "plugged in" sound, and anxiously tried the lock button. Still had the white screen. STILL. Now, I'm here, begging for a solution like others, with an iPod that won't function properly. Can someone please help me?

    No nothing like that happened, I'm sure, but I actually spent the day looking for a fix. Luckily, I had the idea of taping the spring down because I though the screen didn't touch it. Turns out I was right, but however, I found out that the screen I ordered was broken in a way, because it still had the white screen after the taping. Just to make sure, I tried the other screen to clarify if the taping worked or not. I did the home and lock button restart, and up popped the apple logo. So, that means that the screen I got from the seller was either a rip-off, or was just broken somehow in process of making, or delivering in some matter. Unfortunately, I think I can't ship it back unless for alot of money because the person I got it from comes from China. I live in the USA. So that's gonna be a matter to work with myself. Thank you for trying to help.

Please Help

    Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
    For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

  • Menu will not loop and reverts to a white screen after 30 secs

    I'm using Encore CS4 to create a picture DVD (a la Ken Burns!). I used the generic Beach background under the travel tab for the menus because I thought it was fitting. Anyway the duration of the menu is 30 secs. I can not for the life of me figure out how to change the duration. The "loop forever" button is disabled when I click on the menu background. Even if I change the duration time it will always go to a white screen after 30 secs (the audio will continue to play however and the pictures I used for buttons are visible)
    Any suggestion or ideas on why this is happening? I checked and as far as I can see there are no overrides anywhere in my project. Everything I've found online stated to click the loop forever button...but that isn't an option.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Tye,
    One thing to think about, with regards to your Audio. You might want to make sure that you being with a fade-up and end with a fade-down. That way, should it loop, you do not get a noticeable cut in the Audio. Now, your user will probably have chosen a Button and activated it before, but should they have not, the music "appears" to flow. I normally use the same music for all Menus, and these little pieces contain a lot of repetition in them. That helps to create the appearance that its the same piece that plays THROUGH all Menus, when it's really just one separate piece for each. The pieces are such that you can jump into, or out of, each and one has to listen carefully to tell that it's not continuous. I keep dozens of these little pieces handy, or create new ones with the same characteristics, in SmartSound. You just have to choose the right compositions.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    How to permanently fix a 'White Screen" after resetting and restoring? 2nd generation ipod

    There are two different resets. The reset you did involved holding the sleep/wake & home button.
    The other reset will do exactly what it says. That reset is located in Settings - General - Reset.

    Because something is wrong.
    To fix, try the following in order, testing after each until one of these suggestions works:
    (1) Restart Mac.
    (2) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    (3) OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X
    (4) Apple - Support - MacBook - Contact Support

  • QuickTime stopped working after installing upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I am using a MacBook Pro and was running Mac OS X Leopard, and QuickTime worked perfectly. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard I can´t get QuickTime to work. When I try to reinstall QuickTime for Snow Leopard it tells me it is already installed.
    How will I get it to work again?

    but now I can not open QuickTime at all.
    I hate to ask, but what does this mean? Are you double-clicking or "drop" opening a movie and no player is opening? Are you simply clicking on the application icon and no player is opening but the application name does display in the top-left area of you monitor? Do you get a modal message saying something is wrong or saying the application quit unexpectedly while opening? Please try to be more specific regarding what is actually taking place as this may provide additional clues as to whether the problem is in the application, the operating system, 32-bit/64-bit mode switching/access problems, missing playback components for 32-bit routines, component list ordering conflicts, etc.
