White screen of death after installing Macfuse

I had a well running MacPro hexa 3.2 (upgraded from a quad 2.6G hz) under ML and since I needed to backup some files from an ext3 drive I looked up how to mount them.
The proposed solution was to install both OSXFuse and Fuse-ext2, which I did. I could access the file through a recovery utility, but it did not mount; since the guide suggested to restart in this case,
I did. And it started showing the white screen, not responding to startup DVDs, disconnecting, all possible known key combinations.
Unfortunately I don't have a boot USB key, but given the boot DVD does not work Indoubt it could help.
Any known solution?
Thanks in advance
Maurizio

Thanks, this worked. I knew this and I had connected to the front connectors, the back ones instead worked.
I booted in safe mode, and then I could reboot normally and it worked, but now the ext3 drive does not mount anyway. I find some folders with the name of the drive but there's a No access sign and they are given as 0 MB.
So, good I still have my machine working, but no ext3 backup yet. TO stay on the safe side now, I'm trying to see if I can find a Win XP driver on an old PC I don't care too much about...

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.

White Screen of Death (after restoring)

Guys, I've been dealing with the White Screen of Death, but it was always solved by turning it off/on, or restarting it.
The white screen used to happen when leaving my iPod for 3 days without using it.
However this time, 4 days passed without touching it, and I can't make it work.
I tried restoring it from a recent backup without success.
What could I do?
Is it hardware or software problem?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Stuck on white screen during reboot after installing Snow Leopard

I had no problem with installation, but am stuck on the white screen during automatic reboot. I manually ejected the disc hoping that would help. I am not sure how to get past this white screen of death. I tried to reset the PRAM but nothing I do will get me past the white screen.

I am having this problem right now. It just goes to white screen during the installation right after rebooting. Just before rebooting it tells me to be 'ready' with the second disc, but then reboots and goes to white screen with apple logo and spinning gears....am I supposed to be putting the second disc in at this stage? Shouldn't it be prompting me to do something? Did either of you figure a way around this? Any help much appreciated.

Blue screen of death after installing Boot Camp on Windows 7

Hello and thanks for the help!
Brnad new user to Boot Camp here. After a new install of Windows 7, I install Boot Camp but then when rebooting Windows I get the blue screen of death. When letting Windows attempt a repair, it fails and I am forced to Recover Windows 7 to a state before I installed Boot Camp.
Help!?

Solution for this problem is simple. You have to apply Mac Book Air SMC Update 1.7 which you can do from Mac OS X with Software Update or you can download required update manually from Apple support site. If you don't use BootCamp and have installed Windows without it, you will have to boot Mac OS X from external drive just to apply required update. After you applied SMC update, you can boot to Windows and apply BootCamp update 3.2 and 3.3.
There is a known problem with Mac Book Air EFI Update 2.3, which you won't be able to apply and it will show in Software Update every time you check for updates. There is no solution for it yet.
You get BSOD if you have BootCamp 3.1 and Windows 7 SP1 installed and you have commited Windows update which will break applemtp.sys as your SMC firmware is too old. It applies to Windows 7 32 bit and 64 bit versions in BootCamp or native install.

Stuck on White screen and pinwheel after installing Leopard

Tried to install Leopard last night, everything appeared to go fine. But this morning when I woke up the screen was stuck on a white screen with apple in the middle and the grey wheel below it (yes it is moving) so I think the cd just wont finish running. Problem is can not get the disc to eject or the computer to do anything. Have tried everything I could fine on website including turning off and unplugging for 30 minutes but when turn back on still get the same screen. Help, Im new to Mac and very frustrated. Thanks

When you turn on the computer, hold down the mouse button. The disk should eject.
Did you notice if the disk passed the selfcheck.
Leaving an optical drive running actively overnight is not a good idea.
During any install, it is always best to babysit it. That way you can quickly spot anything unusual and take care of it immediately. You can also see the progress and read any information screen that pops up.
After you remove the DVD, the system may still not boot for other reasons, but if you have problems, restart it and hold down the shift key to enter the safe mode and see if it boots.

I have a white screen at startup after installing Yosemite. Help!

imac 2011 goes to white screen and black cursor during startup

Hello Hackdog1,
It sounds like you are unable to boot your Mac after updating to Yosemite I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve the issue:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
Start with these steps, and work your way down the rest of the article if needed:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Note: "Peripheral devices" refers to external devices other than what came with your Mac, such as hard drives, printers, or hubs that you connect via a USB or FireWire cable.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Disconnect all peripheral devices such as external hard drives or printers (leave only the display, a keyboard, and mouse connected).
Disconnect any Ethernet cables.
Start up your Mac.
If you can start up this way, one or more of your peripheral devices (or installed software related to the device) is probably causing the gray screen issue. Connect one device, then restart your Mac to test for the issue. Repeat the process until you locate the device at issue. Make sure the device is powered if it needs to be to operate correctly. Check with the manufacturer of the device for support or possible software driver or firmware updates that may be available for the device. Try a different cable with the device if possible (such as a different USB or FireWire cable).
Note: If you have multiple peripheral devices and the issue only occurs when they are all connected, but not when each device is the only peripheral connected, see the Additional Information section below.
If you are using a desktop Mac with a third-party keyboard and/or mouse device, and the issue still occurs, try starting up with an Apple keyboard and mouse connected instead. Try starting with no keyboard and mouse connected, then connect them after start up. Also, try a different USB port on your Mac.
If the gray screen issue persists with no devices connected, go to the next section (with the peripherals still disconnected).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

White screen of death after using with car charger

I plugged my iphone into a brand new belkin car charger and it instantly caused the screen to go white. I unplugged it immediately and then reset it.
The next day I charged it and it booted up ok, but would not acquire the cell network and then would not respond to touch.
I then rebooted again and rather than getting pure white screen, I got lines of different colour vertically up and down the screen. Eventually it then created a white screen again. Everytime I reset or touched any button, the same sequence would occur - flicker of coloured lines on the screen and then fill out to a white screen. Plugging it into a mac made no difference, it was not recognised by the computer.
It is now completely bricked and does not respond to anything.
Anyone seen anything similar ?

Yes!!! After the 1.1.1 update, I had the exact same thing happen with my Belkin Auto Kit. A real bummer, because until I updated, I was happy as a clam listening to music in my car off my iPhone.
Anyway, I had the same thing happen- white screen with flashing colored lines and then a whole bunch of problems. Eventually, my iPhone became completely unresponsive. An Apple Genius took one look at it and gave me a new phone.

Blue Screen Of Death after installing Ovi/PC Suite...

Windows Vista, 32-bit, Home Premium, Service Pack 2
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic
Problem: BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) occurs constantly.
I think the problem is the phone drivers (via cable). The program itself shouldn't be it.
I made a system recovery, which worked. And my computer was restored. But when I tried once again the same problem occurred.
So my question is: How can I use the phone with the computer without getting the BSOD?
Thank you

I have posed the question in the Customer Care Center Europe
The automatic answer was (translated from german):
Thanks for your question. The Customer Care will contact you in 48h. This was on the 12.01.11.
Since then no answer.
Hey customers, we should stop buying Nokia phones, because they ignore our problems.

Gray screen of death after installing 10.4.11 upgrade

I installed the recommended update 10.4.11 on my PowerMac G3 and restarted. I can't get past the gray Apple screen and spinning circle. Same thing happened yesterday with my iBook G4, but I was able to get started after resetting the PRAM and restarting in Safe Mode about 20 times. I was finally able to re-install the update. But today I can't even start the G3 in Safe mode.
Any suggestions?

I experienced something similar. Installation failed and when trying to reboot my computer got stuck on the gray screen.

BeJeweled and White Screen of Death

Does anyone know if the game Bejeweled creates a software conflict with OS 5. The wife gets a white screen of death after 5 or 10 minutes playing and I have to hook it up to the desltop software to get rid of it as removing the battery doesnt resolve it. All that does is start a reboot and then right back to a WSOD. The phone is a Curve 8520.

Got my own answer. I had downloaded and installed the one from Rogers so I deleted that and got the one off app world and it's working fine.

Since updating the software on my iPhone 3gs it has developed the so called "white screen of death". The phone has not been dropped or damaged in anyway, the problem only developed after software upgrade. Rung apple and they were less than helpful

since updating my iphone 3gs software it has developed the so called "white screen of death" this happened immediately after software install. It has never been dropped or damaged. I have tried the solution which seems to pop up most of holding down the power button and the home button for 10 seconds but this hasnt helped at all. Tried ringing apple, who were less than helpful and disinterested as the phone is out of warranty. I am hoping there is a solution which doesnt mean shelling out for a new phone! any ideas?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

OOB White Screen Of Death: Silverlight Installation required after each reboot.

Hi,
we are getting White Screen Of Death on few user's machine for last few months and a number of users is getting added from last month for the same issue. Earlier we were using the CleanSilverlight from the following site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2608523.
Now we have the following issue that requires immediate fix:
Whenever we apply CleanSilverlight then my OOB starts working fine but it start displaying same white screen after few days without any action (Installation/Uninstallation)
Whenever the system reboots then we need to apply CleanSilverlight and install the Silverlight once again on user's machine to work with OOB. It seems rebooting interferes with OOB application.
Both of these issues are very frequent from last one month. I don't know if any update to windows/browser is the root cause for the issue.
One the system is having the following configuration to run OOB:
OS name and version: Windows 7 32-bit
Browser name & version: IE 8 & Google Chrome 38.0.2125.111 m
Silverlight version: 5.1.30514.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Regards, Maddy

Hi,
Clean the corrupted Silverlight installation and reinstall the Silverlight should fix the issue:
As mentioned above it does fix the issue but sometimes its not permanent solution, It just pop up once again.
I don't understand why should we downgrade the version of the Silverlight. Its working fine after applying CleanSilverlight
and reinstalling Silverlight.
There must be something that's corrupting it. vize Antivirus, any new update etc.
Also I would like to know why the Silverlight is getting corrupted at all. Why do we need to apply CleanSilverlight?
Still looking for a proper solution.
Regards,
Maddy

Installed Lion then white screen of death

Hello I just installed Lion based on an email that said I had to switch for the migration from Mobile Me to ICloud. As soon as it downloaded, there was a problem. A screen came up that said, problem loading restart to try again. I did and now I have the white screen of death with a flashing apple, file with a question mark and the no symbol, I.e. circle with a line through it. I've shut down at least twice but when I restart all I get is the white screen and flashing symbols. Everything is backed up via my time machine but this is crazy. Pls help. Thank you. T

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Imac crashes after 3 weeks!!!! White screen of death-- Hard Drive died!??

Good day fellow Apple-minded,
bought my missus a 27" Imac with a 1TB hard drive in the mighty United of States,just the other day.
I have become quite an Apple fan recently........mainly based on the high reliability compared to the products from Bill Gates and his henchmen.
HOWEVER, I was less impressed when the white "screen of death" appeared the other day while trying to boot up. It was night, so I spent a good few hours in this forum, trying to look for a solution.........before finally surrendering to bed.
The next morning to the Mac-doctor and he confirmed--> the Hard Drive--> R.I.P.
After 3 weeks only!!
Luckily it will be changed under warranty etc, but still--> my question is: how common is this for the Imac?????
FYI: I flew the Imac out of the States, checking it in at the airline desk--> booboo??
Thanks,
MXP 150 Patriot

IMO, mere coincidence. Mechanical and electrical things break. When, no one knows. For HDs, normally within the first couple of months and then years later at their end of life. Since it's being replace under warranty, don't worry.
