White screen and nothing else

I installed mountain lion, after I decided to update iPhoto and iWork, during updating I got message that finder doesn't work properly and my Mac quit to do anything, I decided to reload, after that I was stocked in the entrance white screen, with no any option to improve the situation. Is there anybody who can tell what's wrong with that OS? And what should I do?

Try resetting the PRAM by restarting your computer while simultaneously holding down the Command-Option-P-R keys until the computer restarts a second time.
Hope this helps

Macbook White Screen (and nothing else happens after that)

Hi All,
I have a problem with my wife's macbook (which is exactly 13 months old, Aargh!)
She was having some problem with slow apps etc, so decided to restart, the restart didnt go through so she tried holding down the power button to force shut down.
When she tried to restart it several seconds later, it chimes but it gets stuck on a white/grey screen with nothing on it, not even the Apple logo. Something started whirring louder and louder for the first 2 minutes and it stayed that way for at least 10 minutes++. Note that it shuts off immediately as soon as I push the power button down.
I have tried all the startup key combinations listed on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1533?viewlocale=en_US
But other than the Firewire logo showing up when I pressed T down at startup nothing else works, the actual Firewire target disk function didnt work when hooked up to another mac.
I have also tried taking off the battery/AC adapter and holding down the power button method to no avail.
The Macbook itself was bought in the US, but we are now in Europe so the startup CDs are not around, or at least not yet . I doubt it will do miracles anyway...
I know I'd probably have to take it in to an Apple Store to see whats up, but I thought I'd share it here first.
Let me know if anyone have similar experiences..
Cheers.

Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
Quit

Sounds like your iPod is in restore mode. Connect it to iTunes. iTunes will pop a little message up saying that your iPod is in restore mode and asking you if you want to restore it, click yes. Your iPod will restore to factory settings and you will be given the chance to restore from a backup. You can do this or set it up as a new iPod.
Here is Apple's page on restoring your iPod.

PSE 6 Blank welcome screen and nothing else

Started suddenly, no issues previously. Installed on an iMac running 10.5.8. Blank welcome screen and nothing else. Tried reinstalling... nothing is working.... help!

What happens if you turn off your internet and then start pse 6?
There has been a rash of posts over in the photoshop forum about photoshop cs3 doing something similar, so i wonder if it's related
since pse 6 is based on the cs3 code.
If it's the same thing, then that might be the registration screen your seeing (or not seeing because it's blank)
If you start pse 6 up without the internet on and it's the registration screen you see, press Never Register and that should hopefully resolve the issue.

Try resetting the device by pressing the Home and Sleep/Wake button for several seconds, the device should then boot up.

Iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done

iphone 4s will not turn on, you can not restore with itunes. What to do? Phone lit white screen and nothing can be done?

Reboot computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, all iPhone 4S have full Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

When i turn on pc i get a grey screen and nothing else

i have a hp pavilion dv 6 3143cl . when i turn the pc on . i get a message saying the battery is low - primary internal batter 601 . and after that i get a grey screen and nothing else happens . i have been getting the low battery response for a while but i always use the power cord and it has always logged in but now nothing but the grey screen . is the grey screen because of the low battery even though its plugged in ? help please marcus68

Remove the battery and AC plug. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Now hook up just the AC plug and try to turn on. Also try connecting an external monitor and see if it will display there and report back.

Try a Safe Mode boot ...
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, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

I have an 6 year old mac mini having issues. I can turn it on, get the apple logo and blue screen and nothing else.....help!!

i have an 6 year old mac mini with issues that started two weeks ago. I can turn it on , get blue screen and turning circle and nothing else......help !

Hi,
Have you tried some of these? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1533
The first things I would try would be to press shift during start up, this will boot into safe mode.
I think you'll need to purchase a copy of Snow Leopard to re-install the OS.
There's another couple of suggestions here; http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417 where you can boot into single user mode and look at repairing disk permissions if that's the problem.
I would hope that if you could boot into safe mode or single user mode, then that may automatically rectify your current issue. If not, then I'm pretty certain that a fresh install will be the ultimate answer.

ITunes opens to a white screen and nothing more

Hi all,
I updated to the latest iTunes 11.whatever and my iTunes just will not open despite my trying all the suggestions in help articles by Apple: opening in Safety mode, restarting computer, reinstalling iTunes, updating Windows, deleting Security software. etc. etc. Suggestions? I've never had problems like this before. I'm on an Acer Aspire laptop running windows 7.

I've been having the same issue. Updated to the latest iTunes and the first thing that happens is it displays "Checking iTunes Libary" for about 5 minutes. When iTunes finally opens, all I get is a white screen with my cursor displaying the spinning blue donut indicitive of waiting for the program. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes as well as completely uninstalling all the Apple software on my computer and reinstalling iTunes. I've never had this problem before and at this point I'm considering switching to different software if I can't get this resolved. I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Samsung laptop that is only around 3 months old.

I have an iPod Touch 4g. White screen and nothing is working or helping. Please HELP!!

I was using Safari and the page froze. Then the screen went white. I've tried holding the power and home screen button down for over 30 seconds- no change. I've held down the power, home screen, and volume up buttons at the same time for over 40 second- no change. I've tried doing those with it connected to iMac and iTunes doesn't recognize it. The iPod was to be used at Birthday party tomorrow so PLEASE HELP ME!

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Love my new ipad. But after upgrading to ios7 Safari became dodgy. Now it is frozen in a white screen and nothing will free it. Everything else on the ipad works fine. I deleted data, history, cookies, etc. Same problem. No change after power down.

Everything worked fine on my new ipad. After I upgraded to ios7 it still worked fine even if it looked very different. But Safari started acting strangely (it is starting the same thing on my iPhone 4s, too). Finally, it froze in state with no URL, no keyboard will come up, I can get Safari to close and start, but not actually function. I went into settings and deleted all the cookies, data, history, and so forth. Same state. I powered down the iPad and restarted. Same state. I tried a trick were I held down the button to bring up the power down stripe and then holding down the home button. Same state.
What can I do? Can I delete Safari and re-install it somehow? Should I take it to an Apple store?

If powering down with hard reset (press and hold two buttons Power and home) will not give positive results follow that article
