White screen from sleep after 3.1.2 update

I just updated my Ipod touch G2 to 3.1.2. It had worked flawless for over a year until now.
Immediately after the update this problem started.
When turning on from sleep mode the screen is white. If I “swipe” the white screen to access the desktop I hear the sound so I am sure it is working behind the white screen.
If I hold the power button to turn it off then restart it with the power button it starts with the normal desktop and everything works. I have hard booted many times and restored 3 times and this problem still exists.

With all my online resources used up with no success, I made an appointment with the closest Genius Bar at the Apple store.
I took the touch in powered off and asked the genius to turn it on, without telling him the problem other than "white screen". It powered up and he swiped the screen and the icons appeared as it should. He asked me what was the problem. I said to put it to sleep and then back on, he did and got the white screen and could not get rid of it without rebooting. After some research on his laptop and a bit of playing with the touch he said he would replace it FREE of charge even though it was out of warranty.
I brought the new touch home and connected it to ITunes on the same computer I used before and updated the software to 3.1.3 and added all my music and apps. It has worked fine since so I am sure the original touch had a problem that was not related to anything I did or a problem in my computer.
I applaud Apple "real" people for standing behind their product and replacing it. Unfortunately SHAME on their tech support for not offering any usefull help other than in the end after three different support people suggesting the genious bar.
Case closed!

  • Crashes after wake from Sleep after 10.8.1 update

    2.5 Ghz Mac Mini (mid 2011), 8 Gigs of RAM
    Since the day I upgraded to 10.8.1 I have had persistent crashes, 1 every 24 hours or so. It's always shortly after a wake from sleep. In all cases, it is impossible to switch to a random open application. But once I hit that application, no other application will respond to anything, including a Force Quit, or if it will force quit, it won't relaunch. A shut down will hang because an app refuses to quit. I can quit the Finder, but it won't relaunch. Have reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, zapped the PRAM, reset the SMC, checked and extensively tested the HD and RAM. Replaced RAM with original Apple RAM. Didn't help, so I swapped back to the RAM from Crucial. I can't think of anything else to try. Machine does not crash unless it has been asleep. Runs flawlessly when sleep is disabled. After a reboot (usually via a shut down via the power switch, start from scratch, check of the HD integrity, and then a clean restart) the machine will run fine, sleep and wake normally for about 24 hours. As near as I can tell from the logs, the hangs usually begin right after the Time Machine Backup after a wake from sleep finishes. If I don't allow the machine to sleep, there are no problems of any kind. Making me crazy. Did not occur under Lion or the .0 version of Mountain Lion. Is making me crazier than I normally am which is sorta serious.

    Any solutions to this problem?  I too have this kernel panic, however it only happens about once a week.  Always upon wake from sleep as you've indicated. 
    FYI I don't have intego software, or an APC installed.  Nor am I using filevault.
    This is on an up to date, MacBook Pro Retina.

  • IMac will not wake from sleep after 10.4.8 Update

    Recently after a couple of software updates my IMac goes to sleep and the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not wake it. The option for wake with Bluetooth is checked. I zapped the PRAM and also checked the HD, Nothing has changed. NOTE: No new software or hardware installs were done except for 10.4.8 update and the other mac software updates. This did not happen in prior versions of the OS on my iMac. Is this a new bug?
    iMac G5 1.8 (pre iSight)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Bluetooth, Wake from Sleep

    I've been dealing with this same issue, have tried everything, but to no avail. After MANY sessions on the phone with Apple tech support, as well as an Apple product specialist, I was advised to erase my computer and do a fresh install. I did an archive an install, which didn't help, but am not thrilled about the prospect of erasing everything and starting over. This problem started after the August 2006 round of updates. I feel it's bluetooth related, because I used a usb keyboard and mouse for a week as a test, with no problem. The funny thing is, I unchecked "allow bluetooth device to wake computer" thinking it might help, but the bluetooth devices continue to wake the computer anyway (except when it refuses to wake, of course!)

  • White screen of death after 3 mins of usage

    Hiyah, so my iphone got the so called "White screen of death" after 3 minutes of usage, i've tried restore and all of that but without success.
    What should i do?
    Send it in for repair? (seems really ridicilous if have to since it was bought the same day)
    or
    Take it back to the store where i bought it and ask for a new one?
    Thanks in advance, oh yeah.. i live in Sweden.

    Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
    1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
    If no change, continue:
    2. Restore your phone from your most recent backup, Note, however: if the problem is related to corrupt data in your phone's backup, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
    If no change, continue:
    3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
    If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store, as you most likely have a hardware problem. There are no more user troubleshooting steps available.

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

    I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
    Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
    PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.

  • Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update

    Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update.  My subversion access was also overwritten and no longer works.

    if that was a bug report, then Apple might or might not see it here.  There's a Provide Server Feedback in the menus of Server.app, if you'd like to let the Server.app folks know about the upgrade problems I've encountered.
    If you're looking for help resetting the web sites (I'm not clear if you're reporting a bug or looking for help with this), then check Server.app for where the files should be (the default location is under /Library/Server/Web/Data directory) and see where your current sites are stored in the file system, establish the Site via Server.app (usually with a directory under the  /Library/Server/Web/Data path) and move the contents over to the new location.
    As for the Outlook comment in your footer, Microsoft Outlook also generally needs to have the FQDN requirements removed in the SMTP HELO processing.  Outlook doesn't send that, and the default Postfix configuration will reject those connections as spam.  Here's a discussion of how to do this.  (I don't see a path to the HELO processing via sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix commands.)

  • My lock screen just shows a black background and a User Name/Password dialog after opening the screen from sleep. How do I get it back to where it blurs my desktop image with the dialog and my account image displayed?

    I'm not sure when it began, but now my Macbook Air only shows a black background and a User Name and Password dialog box when I wake it from sleep. It used to show my desktop background blurred with my user name and icon displayed with only a text field for entering my password. I'm currently using Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1) and all updates have been done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I know this isn't a real problem, just an annoyance since I couldn't find how to change it back in the System Preferences.

    I just have to point out that after looking at a related post (https://discussions.apple.com/message/22661092#22661092), it brought to memory that my issue most certainly began happening after I added some DoD certificates to the keychain. This obviously has something to do with it, but it still leaves me wondering what actually causes this to happen. :/

  • My elderly iMac (about six years old) won't wake from sleep after an electrical failure today, and starts up with a black screen.

    This Intel iMac is about six years old, has had the motherboard replaced by Apple.  Today we had an electrical failure, and it was asleep at the time.  It refused to wake from sleep, and it seems to start up, but the screen stays black.  I tried zapping the PRAM, shutting it down and turning off the surge protector, etc. . .  and still, nothing.  Any thoughts?

    If http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) does not work and you are comfortable working in the Terminal, try the following:
    Enter into the Terminal the following: sudo pmset autopoweroff 0 and sudo pmset standby 0
    If you like the hibernation, you can switch it back on by re-entering the commands with 1's instead of 0's. You can even change the amount of time by adjusting "autopoweroffdelay" and "standbydelay".

  • MBP 2010 13'' completely freezing when loading from sleep after battery drain

    Hi all,
    Ever since upgrading do Mountain Lion, everytime my MBP 2010 13'' goes to sleep after battery drainage, it freezes in the last "dash" of the waking up process. Furthermore I noticed that the background during wake up is not my dimmed desktop anymore as it used to be on Lion, it is the Apple logo on a white background (similar to Power up screen). I experience no other freezing stated by the community that are attributed to ML, iTunes or Safari, only this one when recovering from sleep. This last time I waited a couple of hours before power down, only resulting in abnormal heating. Already tried fully charge, fully recharge, reboot, cmd+opt+p+r, ... Anyone has this? Is it a known problem being somehow addressed by Apple? Thanks in advance!

    So can anyone tell me how can I open an issue on this for Apple? Thanks.

  • Display no longer wakes from sleep after latest updates

    G4 Quicksilver 933, nVidia Ti, 1.5GB, 20in Cinema Display
    I applied the latest updates that were pushed out recently (10.5.2 and the "Leopard Graphics Update") and now my Apple display will not properly come up when I wake the box from suspend.
    That is, it starts and runs fine, but if it goes into sleep, upon waking it will (sometimes) flash the contents of the desktop, and then go black. The litte green light is on. Happens from a logged in session, or from the main login screen.
    I have to hit the reset or power button (or login via SSH and issue a shutdown) to get it to work again.
    I only have a single monitor.
    I tried:
    o Powering the monitor off and on, both from the switch and by pulling the power cable
    o Pulling the DVI cable and reinserting it
    o Resetting NVRAM
    o Re-applying both the 10.5.2 combo installer and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 in order
    o Waving a magic wand... I mean, fixing permissions
    o Changing the display resolution a few times
    o Running fsck a few times (only because all these unclean shutdowns are making me nervous)
    o Hitting the "Detect Displays" button in the Displays Prefs panel...
    Aha! Hitting that button causes the display to flash and then go dark. I have to power cycle the unit to get the monitor to come up again.
    I do have the special build option of the faster video adapter which was available all those years ago. It's quaint now, sure, but it was a fast card back then.
    I'm stumped. It's surprising how something like this can turn a perfectly reasonable desktop into a boat anchor.

    This Discussion is marked as Answered, but with my apologies to the other respondents, it is NOT. There is a problem. The software/hardware do NOT work as they are supposed to. Apple needs to address this problem immediately. Mac Book Pro will not wake from sleep when connected to a Cinema Display 23". The problem lies in the most recent operating system updates. Before the update the products worked as advertised, since then they do not. Period.
    With all due respect, I am the one who posted this, and I marked it "answered." Yes, there very well may be a problem with the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (what a mouthful! I dub it "LGU v1.0" from this point on.), but this is so far only a hypothesis.
    I found an immediate workaround which suits my purpose. If this does not suit the purposes of completely foreign (to this discussion) symptoms related to Intel-based Apple laptops and external displays, then so be it. I recommend splitting off your own symptoms to a new thread.
    Certainly, my reading of the symptoms described after I posted mine mostly do not sound like what I ran into at all. For example, I never once said that my computer had problems waking from sleep. I said the /display/ had problems waking/starting up after sleep, and this is probably related to the "detect displays" mechanism that the OS uses to find attached displays when it comes out of suspend. Even if this is my misunderstanding it does not matter, since this is how it comes across to a reader. This may indicate that someone may want to clearly and carefully describe /exactly/ what they are seeing, and the steps they took in order to come to any conclusions they might have.
    This will help Apple, and it will certainly help others that search these threads with their own similar but different issues they need solved.
    If there is a common reproducible issue related to displays and the most recent update(s), then Apple already knows about it, or soon will. As far as my immediate needs are concerned, this is answered.

    I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner.

    Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
    Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
    My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
    My vote is that it's a bug.

  • Won't wake from sleep after listening to audiobook

    If my ipod goes to sleep after I've been listening to an audiobook, I can't wake it again, and have to restart it. It always works again fine after I restart it, until it goes to sleep again. I only have this problem if I've played an audiobook since the last time I restarted, even if I then played music tracks after the audiobook. If I restart it and only listen to music, it will wake up just fine every time. As far as I can tell from playing around with it, this only happens if it goes to sleep on it's own, not if I put it to sleep. Everything else works just fine, but it's really annoying to have to restart everytime I let it sleep during a book! Also, if I have to restart it, when I go back to my audiobook it will no longer remember the track position. But if I go play some music, let it go to sleep, wake it up, and then go back to the audiobook, it will remember the position again! I am totally stumped on this, I have never had anything this weird happen with my ipod, and I've had it for around 2 1/2 years. I have the latest version of iTunes and the lastest version of the ipod software.
