White Screen of Nothing

I've been noticing lately that occassionally when I open an application.  I end up with a white screen and nothing else.  It is not consistent.  Last night I attempted to access my SplashID program, it started OK, showed the login screen, I entered my password and then instead of a  listing of my passwords, all I got was a white screen.   I waited to see if it would paint the screen, but the Pre timed out before it did anything.  This morning I accessed the program with no problem.  However, I then tried to access my FlightView program, and it gave me the white screen.  I closed the program, re-opened it, and now I see the program.  Do other folks have this happening?  Is this a memory issue?  I would hope not the system reports that I have 6.9 GB available.  Any one have an idea, what is going on?  Thanks

1) Don't confuse memory with storage space. The Sprint Pre has 256mb system memory and 8gb storage space (The Verizon Pre has 512mb system memory and 16gb of storage but the principle is the same). One has no bearing on the other.
2) Have you tried rebooting your phone lately? Just hold down the Option + Sym + R keys all at the same time just like you would for Windows <Ctrl> <Alt> <Del>.  The Option key is orange on a Sprint Pre, white/silver/grey for Sprint Pixi, and white/silver/grey for all Palm phones from Verizon, et al. Wait for the phone to reboot. See if that helps the situation.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • I have had my ipod touch for almost 2 years. When i turn ipod on it just has a white screen! nothing will show. i have restored it. i have tried everything help!

    Ny ipod touch will not do anything. it just has a white screen on it. plz help!

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the article again.
    - If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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

  • Creative Cloud is a blank white screen, can't download any apps, how do I fix?

    Hello all,
    PLEASE HELP!!
    I downloaded Ai as a trial version, then purchased CS6 on a 12 month.
    Now I'm trying to download other apps (tried Photoshop, Flash and Premiere Pro), however when I click 'download' to try and get the other apps Creative Cloud pops up and it's a blank white screen.
    Nothing happens, anthing to click NOTHING.
    I've tried shutting the computer down, reinstalling Creative Cloud. Even tried downloading the above programs as trial versions (to start with) but CC just keeps popping up with a blank white screen.
    How do I fix, or better still just get the apps I'm after?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Community!
    Rename the opm.db file.
    Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
    Navigate to the OOBE folder.

  • White Screen of Death Questions [PLEASE HELP!]

    If someone actually cares about my issue, they will read all of the following. Let's see how many of you are out here and how many just want to answer simple short questions for reputation.
    Okay, so I've ran into my first ever iPod Touch issue. I've never owned an iPhone, but I have had an iPod in the past and know a bit about them. I'm going to be 100% honest and I need a serious answer because I'm upset and angry. If anyone can be bothered to read the following, THANK YOU. If anyone could help me out in any way by giving me suggestions/tips and/or a solution, THANK YOU. But anything that can help is appreciated.
    I had my board shorts on when this ocurred. I went to the toilet, doing my own business. I had my iPod Touch in my bank pocket which went to about half way down my thigh. The iPod Touch at the time was facing away from my thigh. Pulling down my pants, the iPod Touch hit the tiled floor. It hardly even hit the floor, all I heard was a little click and I realised it was my iPod. It was flat at the time, I picked it up and pressed the Home button immediately to ensure it was okay. It sort of lit up like a white background, but had a very low opacity. Since it was flat, I assumed it was normal.
    Putting my iPod on charge right after my toilet break, I waited and waited for it to charge quickly enough for me to see the screen as I was a little worried not having seen that faded screen before. When the Apple logo was to appear, it gave me a lit up white screen. I was so confused as there were no marks AT ALL on my screen or any other part of the iPod.
    NOTE: My iPod is still under warranty.
    Did my research and came to the conclusion that it was the infamous 'White Screen of Death'. Where do I go from here? I have no clue!
    I have important information such as a To Do list and my Contacts within the iPod. I NEED to retrieve this information. Is there any way I can do this?
    I can still use the iPod, as if the screen were showing. Sounds are working, but there is just a blank, lit up white screen. Sometimes when I hold the Home button, On/Off button & the Volume Up buttoon all at the same time for ~10-20 seconds, the Apple logo comes up as if the screen was all fixed. 5 Seconds later, it goes all funny as if there were faded white lines and a faded white background but still being able to see the logo/screen. When the iPod loads, it just goes back to the lit up white screen.
    Here's another odd thing to this, when I leave my iPod Touch sitting in a spot remotely, without touching it for a few hours, when I come back to it and hit the Home button, the iPod will begin to work fine as if nothing ever happened. No white screen, no nothing, just simply use it as I wish. I can even sometimes lock it, and then unclock it again with it still showing perfectly. However, when I tend to click the On/Off button after this happens, or if I just continue to use it for ~1 minute, it will eventually do the same as the above paragraph in second last sentence.
    This may be important:
    The iPod charges fine.
    The iPod can be used with my computer and iTunes fine.
    To sum it all up, everything can be done, including using the iPod, but with a lit up white screen.
    Here are some questions I have for you guys:
    Will Apple cover this in my warranty?
    If they won't, what should I do?
    How much would a replacement screen cost?
    Should I attempty to open my iPod if they do not cover it by warranty? (I have not attempted as I don't want to void anything).
    What could be the cause and why?
    How can I retrieve that important information? (Contacts & To Do List)
    Have you got any suggestions/tips for me?
    I need this resolved guys. I'm very upset and angry over the whole situation. If a little thump on the tiles like that (it's not like I dropped it or anything) can damage the screen that much, then this devices from Apple can't be very reliable. All I'm asking for is some genuine service/help to resolve my issue. If this can be done, I will be one VERY happy person.

    Will Apple cover this in my warranty?
    As stated above it is not covered by the warranty as it will be deemed accidental damage.  You can try explaining what happened to somebody at the Genius Bar and they may cut you some slack and replace it at no cost.  They might not though as Apple has started to really come down hard on eliminating replacing accidentally damaged iPods at no cost.
    If they won't, what should I do?
    Again, bring it into them anyways and explain what happened.  You have nothing to lose either way.  Otherwise, you really only have 2 other options.  Send it to a third party service center to have them take a look at it and possibly repair the iPod, or do some studying online and learn how to open up the device yourself and take a look.  There are some excellent step-by-step repair guides at http://www.ifixit.com/.
    How much would a replacement screen cost?
    This depends on where or how you have it repaired.  Here is Apple's repair pricing guide.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Third party repair centers will cost less and they'll actually swap out the bad part rather than just replace the entire iPod as Apple does.
    Should I attempty to open my iPod if they do not cover it by warranty? (I have not attempted as I don't want to void anything).
    If you have a warranty on it still, I wouldn't quite yet.  Take it to your local Apple store as explained above.  Otherwise, I would only if you feel comfortable working with small electronics and consider yourself handy with them. 
    What could be the cause and why?
    As stated already, it could be a damaged or loose LCD ribbon cable or the LCD screen itself is damaged.  As to what exact component, there is no way to tell.
    How can I retrieve that important information? (Contacts & To Do List)
    Make a backup of the device in iTunes before taking or sending it in for service or before you decide to open it up (if you do happen to go that route).  See here what is included in the backup of the device.
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    If you get a new or replacement device you can restore it from that backup.
    Have you got any suggestions/tips for me?
    As I have already stated numerous times, try taking it into your local Apple Store and see if there is anything can do for you such as swap it out.  Remember that they are not obligated to do so since the damage is technically accidental.  Be kind and polite when explaning what happened. You never know what could happen!
