White screen freeze problem

Hi,
I recently had some problems with my macbookpro 13inch
When my external monitor is connected to my macbookpro it will sometimes after a while suddenly switch to a white screen (macbook itself + external monitor) after this i can't do anything else but reboot my laptop and loose all of my progress i had made on some projects.
a different problem is that on websites it sometimes just randomly starts selecting text and i can do nothing about it.
does anyone know what to do with these problems? a little help would be usefull.
i hope this thread is in the right place i'm new here, didn't find a more appropriate folder.
grtz
wouter

Goglangigo,
Many thanks for the response.
Indeed, at Channels, alpha is ticked.
However the sub-menu is in grey or inactive, inaccessible mode, so I can't change it to RGB... can't think why it is inactive.
I'm certain I didn't have this problem a couple of days ago and am also certain that I didn't go to that part of the View menu.
So, I guess I must have tripped another choice elsewhere. Inadvertently.
I've gone through other projects and the problem is the same.
Any other answers?
Thanks again.

Photoshop CS3 white screen / freeze

had CS3 for over a year or so(legit on work computer) and this just started happening this week. at start up and/or after a few minutes in photoshop CS3 it freezes, goes to white screen and hangs and becomes useless. it starts off lagging like if i turn layers on and off takes a moment to change, if i mask something marquee slowly moves or stops moving altogether, flip between different workspaces, open and close files large and small, any of those it freezes and dies having to force it to close. i have photoshop CS2 also installed and it runs fine. everything else CS3 works (illustrator, acrobat etc.)
things ive tried:
1. reinstalling: ver10 of disk does this as well as 10.1 update
2. delete preferences: from docs and settings as well as thru Photoshop
3. cache purge
4. yelling
5. change scratch disk: i have 3 internal drives
6. memory test
7. turn anti virus on and off
8. change page filing size
help anyone?

I'd remove them. if they're critical, only put them back when you need them in another app, or get a font manager.
photoshop is very persnickety about fonts and will have problems with a font that's not exactly right, where another app might overlook an internal font error. my guess is there IS something funny about those fonts, but the other apps ignore the parts that are "broken".

Satellite A60 - White Screen Freeze on Boot up

Hi
My laptop Satellite A60-106 has developed some problem on boot up. It just freezes onto a white screen on boot up before I see any graphics. It looks as though it can access the DVD/CD drive but any attempt to boot up with a recovery disc fails in the same white screen and it freezes. I have tried the manufacturers advice as powering up with the F12 key pressed and another suggestion on the
CD to hold the C key down whilst turning on the power brings the same result.
Nothing but the white screen. I have tried F8 to see if I can get into safe mode but it won't move on past the initial clunking of the drives and then silence. I can't think of any way to get this to allow me to move on. I am sure you can though? I would be happy to format and reload but if I can't access the drive then how can I do that?
I wanted to increase the RAM but all of the suggestions in the hand book do not relate to the layout of my laptop. The small access window on the bottom of the laptop will not allow enough access to the RAM? Poking about around the RAM might have induced this white screen lock out?
Thanks
Charlie

Hello Charlie
To be honest you have serious problem and I really do not believe you can solve it alone. It is not easy to say for sure why white display occurs at the boot up. In my opinion there can be several reasons responsible for this.
- Display (display cable, LCD electronic)
- as far as I know white screen occurs if FL inverter makes background light but there is no display signal it can be some defect on mainboard and there is no video signal
The best thing you can do is to contact authorized service provider. Let them check your notebook. They have special tools and there is no problem to find out why this happen.

Z10 unlock screen freeze problem OS 10.2.1

When i open up my phone and try to enter my password the screen freezes. I updated to 10.2.1 and pretty much the only thing i did was switch my password to picture password and a couple days later this problem happened. I can swipe up on the screen and it shows me the picture password but i cant move it its just frozen. When i do a battery remove reset it will let me into the phone but i cant open any apps or read any messages, it lets me into the hub but i cant open anything i also cant access the hub tabs, although it will let me swipe and look at all of my apps. Its almost like there is a hardcore amount of processing going on in the background and its just bogged down! the worst part is now that im in the phone and i go and press the top button to lock the phone the screen freezes again when i try to get back in! very frustrating I have all of my contacts and emails that are unaccessible now! I am wondering maybe this is like a bug or something that other people are experiencing with the new OS or there is like some simple fix. Otherwise the OS seems stable and has alot of cool new features. Thanks in advance for any help

I have done a hard reset, took out the battery restarted it and it lets me into the phone, but then i get another problem: I cant open any apps or go into one part of the hub, I can see the unopened messages( ie title line and who its from) but i cannot open them or open the menu in the hub, although i can swipe through the apps but can only look at them (not open them). I have also tried soft reset, restart and just hitting the power button a bunch of time

White Screen Freeze

Hello.
At the moment I have a huge problem with my Intel iMac in the fact that it will not load from the main white start up screen.
I get the start up sound, then just a plain blank white screen.
Before this happened I was setting up Boot Camp, it resarted in Windows Install, but I cancelled the install and resarted the iMac, and the problem started then.
I have tryed pressing C at start up and get the folder with question mark showing up on the screen, but when I insert my original Tiger discs nothing happens.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks, Tom.

Hi Tom
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Insert the Install Disk 1 and restart holding the Option key, then select the Install Disk to Startup from! Once booted select Disk Utility from the menu bar and check to see if the (Partition & Format) for the OS X on the HD are there and OK. If you see the OS X on Macintosh HD, select and repair it. If not then go back to the Install Option Install panel and do an Erase and Clean Install. When Installing Tiger both Disk are required and you will also need to install the second disk when prompted to do so.

QuickTime White screen / Freeze only on .wmv saved as .mov

I had a normal habit of downloading .wmv files, playing them and then saving them as .mov files using QuickTime Pro. Since the QuickTime 7.1.6 release I have been doing the same practice without any problems. I still download (.wmv), play and save as .mov files. Works fine... Recently I went back to play one of my pre-QT 7.1.6 .mov files and all that I got was a white screen, no audio and after the timeline moved for a few seconds, QuickTime froze. Had to force quit. Nothing else has changed except for applying the update and now none of my pre-QT 7.1.6 files that I had saved in this manner will play. Any ideas...
G4 dual 1.25 mirrored Mac OS X (10.4.9)

A few suggestions:
KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it (maybe open a GarageBand document) and then quit out of the application.
Make sure you have the latest version of Flip4Mac.

Satellite P100 (PSPA6A) - White screen, freezes then restarts by itself

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P100(PSPA6A) and am running Windows XP on it. Over the past month, I have had a problem with my computer where the screen turns white, it then freezes and restarts by itself.
I have taken it to a computer store to get it checked out but they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I have tried to find if any programs are the source of this problem but I have not been able to find any. My computer can be on for 10hrs before this problem occurs and it can be on for about 5mins before this probelm occurs. It can also happen during the windows loading screen before it reaches the welcome screen. If this helps, there is a slight delay from when the screen turns white and when it freezes (I have music playing in the background on several occasions where the music was still playing for a few seconds while the screen was white, and then it froze and restarted).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi!
Did you already check the RAM by yourself using Memtest86 as Boarder suggested? I mean Memtest86 is really great for testing the RAM and if there is a problem, Memtest86 should find it.
Furthermore I would recommend checking the HDD. Therefore you can use Drive Fitness Test and Google is your friend to find it.
This program is also freeware.
In worst case you should go to an authorized service provider. Maybe its a problem of the mainboard or CPU and this can be checked from a notebook technician.

Lumia 620 screen freezing problem

i have a lumia 620 and i update it through the phone settings OTA, after restart the screen remains freeze at the start lockscreen nothing works exept side buttons.. and thats not all before 620 i had a 520 wich is a **bleep** piece, same problems with screen
A honest question to nokia : Guys what sort of "error" is that ? What's wrong with you guys ? I switched from iphone 4 wich worked perfectly fine in 3 years after tons of updates..to this lumia 620, I NEVER EVER GONNA BUY ANOTHER NOKIA PRODUCT

We understand your sentiments, xtrad3. Let us further isolate the issue.
When you say 'software update', are you referring to Lumia Black? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far? Have you tried to reboot the Lumia 620 by pressing and holding the volume down and power keys until it vibrates and restarts?
If the screen works after rebooting, try to verify if the software is fully updated. If it's the Lumia Black software that you just downloaded, check if it shows up under Settings > Extras + Info. Try also to check if all system apps are updated. You can scan the app codes shown at this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.
By the way, if you still have your Lumia 520 and had the issue with it after a software update as well, you may try the same troubleshooting steps given above. We'd appreciate it if you'll update us with the outcome.

IPad mini home screen freeze problem

I have a problem with my ipad mini. Sometimes when I close my apps with the four-finger gesture it just freezes during the transition and doesn't respond completely, even when I press and hold the power to turn off. But the home button works for Siri but she doesn't do much, she can't open apps or turn my ipad off. I can also take screen shots but my screen remains frozen on that transition. It eventually runs bettery flat and turns off automatically and when I charge it and switch it on, it works normally. It's happened about 3 times now and I'm not sure if its a hardware or software problem. I'm on iOS 7.0.4

Shaky screen freeze problem

It starts with a little jitter and shaky screen with everthing starting to blur...Then the screen starts to darken a bit and sometimes a vertical and plaid lines appear over the entire screen...Then it freezes and a box appears that says I must restart my computer....I will restart and sometimes immediately and sometimes it takes a few minutes when the above happens again...I can never run more than a few minutes before I get the jitter and shakes and freeze...I tried booting off the install disk and run a hardware test but before the test completes I freeze. Anyone recognize this? Thanks...

Battery screen freeze problem

Hello, I'm using blackberry 8700c. The screen just shows battery with red cross line image. Even though I pressed a power button or tried to reset with alt+cap+del, the false screen is still there. Is there anyone would have any suggestion for this problem?
Thanks so much.

Try taking the battery out for 1 minute then putting it back in to see if the device reboots (may take 1-3 mins)

Help! iPod Nano Screen Freeze Problem!

Hello,
I purchased my iPod Nano 4GB about a month and a half ago. A couple of minutes ago when I plugged it into my iMac the screen just froze.
I've tried plugging it back in, turning it off, and everything. Nothing works! The screen stays lighted with one of my songs paused on the screen, even though the light is supposed to turn off in five seconds.
Help me please!
Thanks!

I just found the solution to the problem!
Connect the iPod to a computer. Switch the "Hold" button to the right, and then back to the left.
Next, press and hold the "Menu" and Center buttons at the same time for six seconds.
This should reset the iPod.
It cured my frozen screen.
Thanks for everyone's help! I think I'm going to buy the extended Apple warranty now, just in case.
