White screen but has good video

everytime that I try to watch a video with Quicktime all that I get is a white screen, but I can see the audio and duration bar. it used to work but does not anymore. i tried to get the help to fix it through Apple Care Protection Program (cost me 100 bucks) and they were no help all they did was send me a lame link that was pointless. HHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!! i have noticed that some of you all have had this problem i hate to say that I don't really understand all the things people have sugested to try.

Open the file with QuickTime Player.
Open the Movie Inspector window and note the video codec used in the file.
Do a Google search for that codec name and install the version appropriate for your machine.

.AVI file has white screen but does have sound...

I have an .AVI file someone sent me which by using QT Pro shows just a white screen but does have audio.
I have Perian installed and it didn't help with the white screen. I have opened it fine in VLC player, and a couple of other media players but my issue is that I want to import the AVI file into iMovie so I can make it into a DVD. However, if I import it into iMovie, it will be the same white screen with audio.
I have searched the web far and wide to find a solution and most are saying it could be only viewable in QT on a PC of all things.
Is there any components out there which will help me with this problem? Any other suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
RB

But when I selected the problematic AVI file it too appeared with a white screen w/sound in MPEG Streamclip. So I realized it wouldn't help me either.
A white screen usually means the selected video codec is not compatible with the actual file. Normally, I would run a conflict test. Based on your previous posts regarding the compression formats in use and the video codec attempting to perform video playback, my first guess would be that the Perian component is trying to decode a DivX (possibly v5) file. I would probably either temporarily remove the Perian component and see if the AVI file plays or remove and then replace the DivX component (if the latest one is already installed) and see if this changes the component access order so DivX is called for video playback. If you have an older DivX component installed, there may be a conflict issue. (Remember to close QT while removing/replacing components so the list will be re-initialized before making a playback test.) If all else fails, try posting a sample file so we can see if the problem can be duplicated on other systems/configurations.

My wifes Ipod Nano has blank white screen but still works

As the topic says, the nano has a blank white screen but still plays songs and works with iTunes. i have tried reseting it via holding menu and select for 10 seconds without success also i have tried holding select and play/pause after reseting (hard reset i guess) without any success.
I have tried restoring factory defaluts and loading different versions of iPod update without success.

Hi, I have a MacBook Pro. It is plugged in and charging but will not switch on. I try pushing ctrl, shift, alt and power together then release and press power again. The laptop goes to a white screen but switches off straight away. Any ideas?

Start up Disk full and MacBook Pro won't reboot. Only white screen but can sleep, restart, shut down.

Reboot into Safe Mode (hold the shift key down at the sound of the chime, release when the progress bar appears) Safe Mode will take longer to boot than normal.

White screen, but you could get the display via an external monitor.

Hi,
A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro(A1212) stopped displaying. It only showed a white screen, but you could get the display via an external monitor. A friend looked at it and we discovered a burnt Mosfet (SI3443DV) which was item Q9400 on the motherboard. He went and changed it but it only displayed for less than 5 minutes and it went back to the white screen. would you please advice on what to do since i am not in a financial position to take it for repairs at the apple store?
Joe

Forget it.
1: If it was tampered with, then it doesn't qualify for warranty or AppleCare.
2: Repairing it will incur a new expensive logicboard, because that's how they do things. Swap parts out.
3: No money, means no Mac.
Sorry. We don't do hardware repairs here.

I restored my ipod touch because it had a white screen but after it finished restoring the screen was still white what should i do?

Sounds like a hardware issue. Make an appointment at an Apple Store.

Help! I have a flickering white screen but I can still turn on my IPod Touch! It is a white flickering but the bottom half of the screen is unseeable. How do I fix it?

Try the follwing to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod has a white screen, but still works

I dropped my iPod, and i resseted it once, and i could hear the clicky noise the touch pad makes. so i mashed buttons and a song came on. It works, but the screens still white. I restored, still white. Tried the Disk Mode, but i can't see a **** thing. Help

Hello,
It sounds like iPod was damaged when you dropped it. The blank white screen is the most common side effect of damage by dropping. Unfortunately the only solutions are to either have it repaired or buy another one and keep it in a ruggedized case. XtremeMac makes the best ones.

White Screen When Streaming .MOV videos

Hey everyone -
Any thoughts as to why I'm seeing a white screen (no video) and audio when streaming a .mov file from a website?
The computer in question has Quicktime 7.7.2, plugin is enabled and is running Windows XP SP3.
I've tried removing and reinstalling Quicktime, upgrading to 7.7.3 and downgrading to 7.7.1 - no change.
The issue persists using Firefox, IE 8 and Chrome.
I can play the video fine on my MacBook Pro (running Lion) and on another Windows workstation - different PC model but everything else is the same.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be fabulous.
~Lyssa

Went through and disabled any plugins that could be grabbing it & no joy...I can get it working on another PC that is absolutely identical (same graphics card, software installs & network configuration). Most puzzling!
I think we'll just download the videos from this point forward and try the plugin periodically; eventually it'll start working again.
Thanks for your help!

My Itouch went white screen but when i reset it, it didnt change

It is still on the white screen even though i reset it.
And i cant erase everything because all the songs and stuff are from various computers. I think it is from pressure on it because it happened before, but not to this extreme, and i pressed on one side of it and it just fixed itself, but now it won't do anything. And when i did the usual unlocking procedure, the sliding across bottom of screen, and pressed where music would be and just randomly tapped it started to play music so i think there might be a wire or something disconnected but I'm not an expert so i wont jump to conclusions. But i really need help with this.

Can anyone help me? I have the same issue of the white screen.
My screen has gone completely white for no reason, i reset it pressing the home button and on power button at the same time, it worked great! for about 2 f**ing hours and then went completely white for good! im out of the warranty now so cant take it back. i have restored and deleted ALL of my software and started from fresh and guess what.... No change,
I am fed up with this s**t now, i am not the only person this has happened to, i know of friends who have the same problem over time and can do nothing.
I am in search of someone who knows what they are talking about and is not just going to tell me to press a bunch of buttons because that doesnt work!!
What is the point of spending so much money on a product that WILL inevitably F*k up. I am so dissapointed with this service and with apple because there is no contact or way of getting answers from any certified apple technicians.
So in a nutshell...
My screen has turned white for no reason.
I have reset it using home and power button.
I have done a system restore deleting everything.
I have not cracked the screen.
I have not applied pressure to it.
It has not been in contact with any fluids of any nature.
I have not dropped it, and it has always been in a case.
All i have done is use it.
HOW CAN YOU SELL A PRODUCT THAT WILL BREAK AND YOU CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!
THIS IS APPAULING BECAUSE I HAVE SAVED VITAL INFORMATION AND SPENT ALOT OF MONEY ON YOUR APPLICATIONS AND SONGS EXPECTING RELIABILITY AND QUALITY ALL ROUND!

IMac won't boot past white screen, now has partial pixelation?

I have just tried to restart my 2011 iMac and it has become stuck on the initial white screen (before the grey spinning gear) prior to the reboot it had being running fine for about 4 hours.
I initially thought that it may be trying to boot from the scratched PS2 game I had in the drive (was experimenting with PCSX2 before the reboot) I have tried every button combination I can find to eject the disk or boot into a different OS, I have also tried resetting the SMC and PRAM (I didn't get the 2nd beep) but to no avail. I have also taken out the extra 4gb of memory I installed to go back to the stock 4gb and swapped the stock 4gb for the new RAM but this hasn't helped either.
I have also noticed there is a small line of pixelation at the bottom of the screen, the high of it varies but it is usually around 4 pixels high, some of them are random colours but most of them are black, does this mean the graphics card has gone?

Reinstalling 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: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.

Frozen with white screen but unable to reload software

Please can someone help me as I'm about to throw my Blackberry out the window!!
Yesterday I downloaded the Facebook update which requested me to reboot, my blackberry was then stuck on the white screen all day yesterday. I have managed to attached my blackberry to my pc and remove some of the apps as I know the memory was low. When trying to install I'm getting these error messages: application loaded could not connect to your device. There might not be any software installed on the device (it says if your device is not working please click ignore to continue loading software, which I did). Then I get 'an error has occured while downloading software for your verify your internet connection.
After trying several times I clicked on the View Other Versions button and it says that 4.6.1.168 platform 4.2.0.94 is currently installed already and is there twice?
The phone screen shows error message 552 reload software.
Thank you

thanks for getting back to me.

There has to be something that i can download or something that makes this work... My FCE is HD compatible. If it won't work with my footage then what's the d* point?

I go to the BBC News website and it's a "white screen" but shows the correct URL. It ony happens on my PC. Help!

There is nothing wrong with the BBC News website, but just using my home PC I get a white screen where the webpage should be. Press F5 to refresh - nothing. Go to another website - fine. Go back to BBC News website - white screen.
I have checked add-ons etc, but nothing can be blocking just this one site on my PC as the URL still shows in the address bar.
It works okay on my laptop in the same room using the same wifi hub connection.
Help !

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
