  • After installing Yosemite my Imac just goes to a white screen and freezes, it has been there for almost 36 hours any ideas as to why it is taking so long?

    I have downloaded Yosemite from the App store and I attempted to upgrade from OS X 10.9.5. It is stuck on a white screen with a moveable mouse pointer but that is it. I can't get Command + L to work, so I can see any progress that is being made and I have tried to force boot it twice. Each time I force boot the machine I get a progress bar that goes about half way across and then just a blank white screen. I have read on some blogs that patience is the best procedure for this freeze but I have been waiting for almost 36 hours now and nothing is happening. One thing I want to mention is I have VMWare installed with a virtual machine of 300gigs, could this be the cause of the hangup? My 27inch IMAC is about 3 or 4 years old with a terabyte hard drive and 32gigs of ram. I have unplugged everything from the back except the network cable. Is about 36 hours reasonable for an upgrade? Is there a way to cut my losses and revert back to OS X 10.9.5?

    When you start your notebook press F8 to enter Advanced boot options.
    Is Repair my computer option available?
    If yes choose it and press ENTER. Follow the menu on the screen and when you will see System recovery options try to use System Restore option.
    Do you have some important data saved on your notebook?
    If not install OS again using HDD recovery option and after 2 hours you will have clean preinstalled OS and everything will be OK again.

  • White screen and freeze when trying to restart after downloading Mountain Lion 8.2 upgrade. Mac will not shutdown or restart without freezing on whitescreen.

    Downloaded Mountain Lion update 10.8.2 last night. All went well until the message after the download – restart your mac to install this update. The screen went white and the machine didn’t restart. After waiting for quite a while, I shutdown using the main power button. Restarted iMac later and it opened in 10.8.1 and the iTunes icon informed me that I had an upgrade to 10.8.2 that required me to restart the machine to install the upgrade. I did this and again, the screen went white and froze when trying to restart. Rebooted thinking I might be OK to run in 10.8.1 and ignoring the update but when I tried this the Mac worked fine but when I came to shut down I got the white screen freeze thing again. Does anyone have any easy-to-follow solutions for this or will I have to shut down using the main power button every day?
    Many thanks for any suggestions.

    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • White Screen after freezing! Help

    I just got a new ipod on boxing day and haven't used it very much. I was on Facebook tonight and it froze so I hit the sleep button and held it down, seeing if it would shut off. Instead of shutting off a white screen appeared. I looked up the solutions and tried them except for letting the battery die. My computer won't even recognize that something is plugged in when I tried to plug it in to hit restore (and I know it's not the cable because I tried it on my other ipod) My ipod is getting very hot as well, I took the cover off and turned on the fan to put it in a cool environment to see if that would help but I don't know how to fix this screen!
    HELP PLEASE!

  • White screen Mac freeze

    My MacBook pro has frozen. When I power-up I only get a white screen. It goes no further. Does anyone know what to do?

    Since you're running Lion, have you tried booting into the Recovery partition? Hold down the Command and R keys while booting. You should boot into the Recovery partition. Use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your hard drive. While you're there, you might as well repair permissions.
    It could be a problem with the boot sectors of your hard drive - if it is, this will either fix it or, at the least, diagnose the problem.

  • 20" Imac has white screen and freezes at start-up

    my 20" imac will not start....help...All I get is a white screen and tone at start-up then it stays white. I tried hooking up a bootable firewire drive and pressing the alt/option key at start up nothing. I also tried the command/option/p/r at start up, it will reboot to the same screen. I also tried running the hardware diagnostics at start-up...no response. Computer was purchased on Nov .4 2007, warrenty just expired.
    Help......Please....

    I had the exact same problem today. My iMac 20" (iMac 8,1) would't boot any more, staying stuck on a white screen immediately after the normal start-up chime. Nothing worked (no safe mode, no DVD boot, no disk selection icon when starting with alt pressed, no Apple hardware test, no parameter RAM reset, power management chip reset had no effect, no verbose mode, not even open firmware).
    I browsed the forums, but what I found didn't help, so I was about to stop trying and have it fixed by Apple. But my son told me he had noticed that after "a long time" (he's 4...), a folder with a flashing ? would appear. I figured that wouldn't happen in case of a severe hardware failure, so I tried one last thing: I hooked up an old PowerBook in target disk mode via Firewire and restarted the iMac. I tried several times (with and without alt pressed), but nothing happened (when pressing alt, a functional mouse pointer would appear, though).
    Then I restarted a last time and left the iMac sit there on its white screen for about 20 minutes... and that's when the miracle happened: it finally booted off the target-disk mode PowerBook's system!
    I ran Disk Utility, which saw the iMac internal HD as disk2s0 (or something like that), and launched the disk repair process. After about three error-ridden verify-repair cycles, the green ok message finally appeared and the volume mounted as if nothing had happened. I rebooted off the internal disk without a glitch, and I still have to find damaged or lost files.
    I guess I was lucky that my HD problem was benign enough to be cured by Disk Utility. But even if that had not been the case, at least I'd have known that the HD failed, and maybe I could have saved some files using recovery software. Whatever the case, if you've got an external bootable drive, it's definitely worth trying before handing your iMac over for (usually horribly expensive) repairs.
    Good luck!

  • White Screen when freezeing

    I was using iMovie when my Macboook air went to a white screen and the spining gear. If i closed the lid and opened it again i could sign in like normal then it take me right back to that screen. So I just let my Macbook die and when i restarted it it started up fine. Any idea why this happened?
    Brand new macbook air. I got it from Apple.com.
    Thanks

    That's nice, thanks for sharing.

  • 3 GS freezes to white screen occasionally after hitting home button.  Has anyone ever experienced this?

    Has anyone ever experienced a white screen that freezes then turns black after hitting the home button?

    I have had intermittent white screens for some time (as in three years). It happens when the phone "wakes up". I hae lost calls that I could not answer because the screen was white. It has come up white when I hit the home screen. Not always, but with random frequency. All I have to do it hit the power button (I do not have to power off, just hit the button) and  reopen the phone and it is gone. I know the phone is functioning under this screen, I just cannot do anything.
    My first 3GS had the problem so severly I called Apple. After two and a half hours of resets of various kinds, they decided the phone was bad and sent my a replacement. It was better, but it still has the issue. I have gotteb used to it and am waiting until I can get an upgrade to the phone in the hopes it takes care of it. In the meantime, I occasionally doa search here and un the intertubes to see if someone else has the issue and a solution.
    My suspicion has been that some app I downloaded causes it, but I have deleted apps and cannot get rid of the issue.

  • ITunes store won't load. The progress bar freezes at about 50% and I get nothing but a white screen.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 beta 7 but this issue has been happening since I was running 9.  One day I clicked on a link for an app I saw on techcrunch and it pulled up in iTunes as being in the UK store.  I clicked ok and my iTunes hasn't worked since.  I can log into my account but can't access anything in the store or Ping.  I've googled this issue and found some similar sounding stories but none of the solutions have worked.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled, turned of the itunes store in parental settings and checked "except for iTunes U", I've uninstalled apple aplication suport and installed safari and every other option I have found and nothing has worked.
    Sometimes if I let it sit long enough what looks like an unstyled version of the store comes up but is completely unusable.
    Just to be clear, this has been happening since before I was running any beta software or OS.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you gchin.
    I emailed apple support and they got back to me, I did what he said and it's fixed! SOLUTION found- see below.
    I said:
    "I can't access the iTunes Store. When I click on it the progress bar stops at 50% and I'm left with a blank white screen (no error msg). I have uninstalled and reinstalled, run the iTunes diagnostics (it said all was ok), gone through all of the online help material and I've tried turning off my firewall. Nothing works. I can't sync my iphone either (stops on verifying iPhone so I think it's getting stuck on trying to contact the store). Plzz help."

  • IMac freezing, white screen

    For the last week now, my iMac 24" has been freezing up while doing small tasks - emptying trash, moving things on the desk top, iTunes songs will stutter or pause for a long time during play, opening programs... I try CmdOptEsc to get to a force quit. I cannot get there. The computer will not respond with mouse clicks or keyboard input. The computer gets very warm during all this.
    I hold in the power button. It finally shuts down. When I go to start it back up, 3 times now, it has come up to a white screen (pre the apple logo showing up ...) but then does not continue to start up. I have to - again - do a hard shut down and restart. So far, upon the second try during these instances, it does start back up and loads everything.
    I am waiting to get my install discs (they were missing when I got the computer back in Feb). I read on here that I should do a repair from the discs. I will try that.
    Any other feedback would be greatly helpful. If I need to send this computer in - do I bring it back to the retailer I got from? Or do I need to send it back into Apple?

    Hold Shift Key upom booting, this might work and if you get in, copy your Users folders off to a storage drive as soon as possible.
    Reboot normally and see if that fixed your problem, look at Disk Utility > Repair
    If your good with fixing Mac's you likely can fix this issue yourself, but if not your going to have to take it in for data recovery/service/repair.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • TS1440 iMac freezes, no choice but to hard shutdown, turn back on, white screen with folder and question mark appears

    Hi,
    so my iMac (it's not the most recent iMac if it makes any difference, and I'm running mountain lion 10.8.3) often freezes and I do a hard shutdown as I cannot force quit the applications or click on the apple in the top left to shut it down. When I come to turn it back on, I'm greeted with a white screen, in the middle of which is the dreaded folder with the flashing question mark in it. I've noticed that just before a freeze occurs, it starts running slowly and if I try going onto Facebook for example, it says that it cannot connect to facebook.com despite the internet connection being fine as I can browse things on Google. I have also noticed that before a freeze, in Finder, in All My Files, no files show. I went through this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440 and the problem still persists. Sometimes it does load fine if I shut it down again but when I eventually open up safari, if I had been on youtube for example, it will reload the page from a few videos before and not the one I was on when it actually froze.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated,
    Thanks
    Side note: When it says I must choose a community in order to post this, it only gives me a choice of 3 which are Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, v10.5 Leopard, v10.6 Snow leopard, so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place - is there any way to get it moved to the correct place?

    Yes,easy fix but difficult to buy,think you can get them from the states (off the top of my head about £15).When you go to the apple store,tell yhem what you suspect and they will test if it is the cable or if its the hard drive,dosn't take that long and it's free.If you know what to do you can take the back off and with strong magnifying glass you might be able to see the fray look at the bend of the cable.

  • Curve 8520 keeps freezing and going to white screen

    I recently had my curve replaced after the trackpad stopped working. Now my new curve keeps freezing when I'm on the internet, the screen will get white lines across it which gradually get bigger until the whole screen is white. A reboot doesn't work unless the phone is plugged into the charger and the problem never happens when the phone is on charge.
    I've tried changing the browser settings so JavaScript isn't enabled, I've also reinstalled the software and finally decided to wipe my blackberry and restored it to the file i had saved from my old curve and I'm still getting the same problem.
    I'm not sure whether it's linked to the battery as it also happens when making a call if the battery is low and when I reboot my curve after it's gone to a white screen the battery has usually dropped a few bars (usually from full to 2 bars)
    If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

    Could someone please help me. I have a blackberry 8520 and I recently accidentally put ONLY the keypad in the water but luckily I read that you have to keep it in the sun for 24 hours and it worked, next my charger port broke of then I got it fixed but right after I got it fixed every time I fully charge my phone or it have 2 or more bars in like 10 or 7mins it freezes and their are these lines then it goes into a white screen. I took the battery and put the batter back in the phone worked fine but then the battery went from full to battery drained shutting down?!? What do I do??
