White Screen on Safari Startup

My proble started with the latest update to Safari. I get a white screen when I open Safari with "Go to this address" in the address bar. I have gone to Safari preferences and reset my homepage several times with no positive results.  I even tried to upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion which didn't correct the problem. What next?

Hey Soonerfan591,
I just started getting the same thing yesterday.  I'm not sure why.  I have OS X 10.7 Lion but I downloaded that like a week ago.  I'm searching now to see what may be the issue but it's annoying. 
It does not do it all the time either.  It will work for a while like normal and then the white screen starts showing up. But, in just a little reseach it looks like it's happening enough that there are many hits for this problem.

  • White screen directly at startup

    When I turn on my laptop, directly after the start tone, comes a blank white screen. What should I do?
    Tried booting:
    Safe mode
    Recovery drive
    Install disc
    HOW TO FIX?

    Thanks Carolyn.
    tried the lion recovery at startup, but didn't get the OSX Utilities window as described via your llink. got back to re-installing OSX i.e "choose language" instead. restarted again and got back to my desktop after 30 sec delay.

  • Mail application cancels shutdown-white screen on computer startup

    When clicking a dock icon, it continues to bounce and will not open.  Then when I try to shutdown computer, I get the message that mail is stopping the computer from shutdown and needs to be force quit.  When I do this, the screen goes white for 15 minutes before it will shutdown. When I restart it, I get the white screen forever and must use the power button to turn it off and unplug it for 20 seconds and all is fine.  Doesn't happen everyday.  Not sure if it is related, but at times a screen keeps moving an inch or so from left to right again and again.  Must keep clicking the mouse to get it to stop.  imac, 2 years old, Mountain Lion

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • TS3274 ipad with white screen only after startup

    Just downloaded/installed the latest ios for my iPad and will turn on but stop at a "white scren".  It is "stuck" at a white screen with no other functionality ???

    Tom-
    Try resetting (rebooting) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow if it appears.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

    my question is not related to changing the screen or so, I am concern about the long delay before system boots up, it was not the issue with previous MacBook Air. not sure may be the new MBA is looging for wireless network as it have option to boot from wireless network, if so can we disable some how not to look for wireless network?

  • N80i Startup White Screen

    Hi, just got my N80i a few days ago. Just this morning when i went to turn it on, the screen went white and stayed white for quite some time. The word Nokia didnt appear so i assume it froze/hanged.
    None of the buttons worked so i had to pull out the battery. I left the battery out for about 1 hour and tried again. It worked this time though.
    Thing is i did try the 3 button reset thing, but it didnt seem to work as the phone didnt prompt me for anything.
    Just wanted to know what is the cause of this white screen appearing on startup. How can i stop this from happening again.
    Firmware is the :
    v4.0632.0.38
    13-10-2006
    RM-92
    Nokia N80 (530.01)
    Thanks
    Any help is much appreciated.
    -----SPACE FOR RENT-----

    Well, i had to send mine back. been about a week and a bit now. Should have it back in a few days though as the dealer said. He said that nokia would give me a new one. But i have a feeling its the same old one i sent off, but with another re-installed firmware or something. meh as long as it works im happy.

  • White Screen on Satellite A665-S6086

    I bought this laptop about a year ago.  About a month ago, the laptop screen started turning white for no reason, randomly. It could be in the middle of the laptop being used or at boot.
    Does anyone know what problem this is? Is this the driver, or the display chip itself?  How do I fix this problem?
    What so disappointing is how this happens while the laptop is still fairly new and not abused at all?  I did a search and found out there are other people having the same issue.  Is this a product quality issue?
    I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars sending it in to Toshiba repair center for repair, the warranty just expired a couple months ago.  I'd rather go buy another laptop, and I'm sure not to buy another Toshiba again.
    YQuy

    I had the same problem IN November 2011.  Toshiba had me reset to factory settings refusing to repair until December. I got it back right before the warranty expired.  They repaired video wire.  Two weeks after warranty was up it started again.  Now the computer is just about useless.  It is more whitescreen than functioning.  Any videos white screen it.  Startup, shut down, random. 
    I too must now either pay for something they supposedly fixed or buy a new computer which to me will also NOT be a Toshiba.

  • Macbook Pro white screen on RESTART only

    I have MBP Early 2011 model i7 with dedicated graphics.
    I had been running OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard until last week, which I know is completely outdated but I was forced to keep it due to FCP7 compatibility.
    Anyway, finally I installed Yosemite (fresh install) and all worked out okay. But whenever I restart the machine it will hang on white screen after the apple logo appears. Then when I shut it down by holding down the power button and start from shut off, it boots fine. It only happens when I "Restart". Shut down and start is okay. Then I thought it might be a problem with Yosemite so I then wiped out the machine again and installed Mavericks, but same problem. Then I went back even further and installed Mountain Lion, but same restart problem.
    Thinking this is hard drive issue since it still have the stock 500GB drive, I went and bought Samsung 850 Evo SSD 250GB and reloaded Mavericks, but it's giving me the same issue. I tried zapping the PRAM and SMC reset, ran Disk Utility repair, hardware diagnostics, pretty much everything and turned out fine.
    What could be the issue? Memory? GPU? Everything except the new SSD is stock Apple including the memory.
    Again, to summarize the issue, I only get white screen after the startup Apple logo disappears when I RESTART, but it boots up fine when I shut down and start. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks. I'd already tried everything to no avail.
    No peripherals connected, and it was a completely fresh install of OSX Mavericks from App Store.
    I believe this is hardware related issue but how do I find out without taking to the Genius bar?

  • Recently when clicking on Safari, it refused to open saying there were some components damaged. It was suggested I backup, remove OSX and reinstall. Now all I get is white screen and apple logo when starting. What to do?l

    I Have an iMac desktop purchased in 2010 with OS X 6.1.6 and Snow Leapard. Recently after starting up, I was not able to open Safari. I checked for updates and all was well. I tried again and got a message saying Safari could not be opened because some components were damaged. After using Disk utilities to try and repair, it was suggested I uninstall OS X and reinstall from the disk. I did not at the time because I wanted to backup some info to a USB drive. But now when I startup all I get is the white screen and Apple logo and the loading symbol. What happened and How can Imfix it? I am not very tech savvy and don't know where to turn!

    Hi nancy mfromamity harbor,
    Welcome to the Support Communities! It sounds like reinstalling the Snow Leopard operating system is your next step.  This should not affect the documents and data that you currently have on your iMac. I'll include the information to show you how below.
    Mac OS X 10.6: Reinstalling Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH6606
    Under some circumstances, you may need to reinstall Mac OS X. You can reinstall Mac OS X while keeping your files and user settings intact.
    Note:To reinstall Mac OS X from another computer on your network, see:
    Using another computer’s DVD or CD drive 
    To reinstall Mac OS X:
    Insert the Mac OS X installation disc and double-click the Install Mac OS X icon.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current Mac OS X disk (in most cases, it will be the only one available).
    If you want to control which parts of Mac OS X are installed, click Customize, and then select the parts you want to install.
    To start the installation, click Install.
    If you purchased a standalone version of Mac OS X, these installation instructions are in a PDF file located on the Mac OS X installation disc.
    If you need to reinstall the version of Mac OS X that was on your computer when you purchased it, or if you need to restore all the software on your computer (including Apple software, third-party applications, and other printer drivers), refer to the documentation that came with your computer.
    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X and you’ve been using Time Machine to back up your applications, files, and user settings, you can easily restore this information from your Time Machine backup disk after you’ve reinstalled Mac OS X.

  • White Screen, Apple Logo, Spinner on startup after failed software update.

    Hi, so my Macbook was performing poorly this morning and I decided I would try to install updates. The updates started normally, but around halfway through the bar stopped moving and the text underneath it said, "Running Installer Script." I left it alone for about three hours, came back, and saw that it was still doing the same thing. I decided it was time to try to reboot, and foolishly held the power button down for several seconds until it turned off. Upon turning it back on, I discovered that it would only go as far as the white screen with the apple logo and the thing spinning under it for about 20-30 seconds, then the screen will go black and it will try to start up again. I started it in verbose mode and it gives the following errors before crashing:
    disk0s2 i/o error 0 [level 3] [readuid 0] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype io] [errno 5] [iotype read] [pblknum 233675120] [lblknum 540]
    disk0s2 i/o error 0 [level 3] [readuid 0] [facility com.apple.system.fs] [errtype io] [errno 5] [iotype read] [pblknum 233674536] [lblknum 467]

    I haven't tried booting from the disk because my disk drive has been broken for a while and needs to be replaced. I assume this problem is my fault, but I would very much appreciate anyone's input on how to resolve it.
