White Screen won't go away after restart

I have a 3G iphone and just yesterday it went to a completely white screen. Tried to restart multiple times and seems to go through the process as phone vibrates upon restart, but still only see white. I tried resetting factory defaults from itunes and still no luck. Any other suggestions?

Same problem here ...

Need Help - ipod video in trouble - white screen won't go away - help??

White Scree appears and won't go away. Can someone help?

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

Screen won't come on after restart I must let it cool down at least 30 mins

Anytime I restart my MBP I have to wait till it cools down or the screen will remain blank. I am not sure if this is a safety precaution or just a faulty logic board. All my firmware and software is updated. I read about the thermal paste and switching the RAM chips. Switching the RAM chips works sometimes. However, with a computer as "prestigious" as the MBP, i shouldn't have to have a little phillips head on me every time I want to restart my computer. As far as the thermal paste goes, has anyone tried cleaning theres? I would like to hear someones testimony before I start dissecting mine. I know this has been a problem with allot of MBP I am curious to see if someone has found a simpler solution.

I have the exact same problem, I have to let the computer sit for a long period of time before trying to turn it on. If not, i get a solid black screen, with the front light on, and the noise from the hard disk. Any suggestions? I don't have any additional RAM installed.

What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one

What should i do if my ipod touch 4 gen. has a white screen and it goes away rarely. Should i return it and get a new one?

If the problem persits after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem. In that case an appointment at the Genius Bar of an apple store or returing it to Apple is in order.

I don't understand why recently with the new "pages" my computer stops responding. When I go to fix some grammar all of a sudden the little colored circle begins to appear and won't go away I restart my computer.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

Have the PRAM battery looked at. It may be all that is needed.

BLUE SCREEN WON"T GO AWAY ON STARTUP

When I turn on my iMac, the blue screen won't go away so I can't enter my login. Does anybody knows what's happening? What can I do to fix it?

Uninstall Windows.
Seriously though, how long has it been on? I had the blue screen take 30 minutes once. Usually when it doesn't happen quick" though, I just force it to power off then back on. So far, that always works. Can't comment about whether I'm doing any damage though (though I've been doing it with PC's for over a decade )

Do Not Disconnect screen won't go away

Yeah basically, whenever my iPod is connected to my computer the "Do Not Disconnect" screen won't go away, even though nothing is being sent out iTunes to my iPod video. I've even tried reseting my iPod and I added all my music back on it but it still displays this screen. There isn't even the swirling icon in the top left corner. This only seems to happen when iTunes is running. As soon as I hit the eject button in iTunes it goes back to the normal screen. It's been doing this for like 3 hours now. Help?

If disk mode is enabled the do-not-disconnect will not go away and you must eject manually.
Turn off disk mode and it will only say do-not-disconnect only when the iPod is actively synching.

Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine. Any suggestions?

Acrobat Pro for Mac won't start, even after restarting the machine. Any suggestions?

Hi Patrick,
Can you please mention the version of Adobe Acrobat that you are using and on what OS version. Also mention whether this problem has started recently and was running fine earlier or is it a fresh install and has never worked for you.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the product after you started facing this issue.

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 & won't boot after Time Machine restore 10.8.2

Hello,
I know someone posted a similar issue but that it was related to a hardware failure. Mine was not a hardware failure.
Just wanted to give an FYI to anyone who may run into this issue. I recently restored my Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup (10.8.2)
and I was getting a blank white screen at startup where the spinning line "|" would appear and then go away, and then come back, and then disappear... Over and over. Booting into single user mode resulted in the same issue.
I ended up re-installing Mountain Lion over itself and my machine booted sucessfully. Did all the software updates and I'm back at 10.8.2 again.
This is just an FYI, something for you to try if you get the same error, hope this helps someone.

Startup command-s and at the prompt type reboot
Then press return.

Circle with a slash that goes away after restart?

Hello there!
I have an old mid-2007 imac 24 7.1 Few weeks ago i installed an SSD drive inside and OS Mavericks.
Everything is/was fine but recently i'm getting this circle with a slash. I've read that its an os files problem that people can bypass by going into safe mode and totally remedied by reinstall. However in my case right after I restart my computer, everything is back to normal, except for a small, almost unnoticeable delay during start up (loading under apple on startup white screen)
Any idea what is it and is it anything concerning?

Startup in OS X Recovery, go to Disk Utility and Repair your Startup Volume.

Sudden White Screen - Won't Recover

My iMac G4 hadn't given me a lick of trouble until last night. I left it on, as I usually do, while I was gone for about 45 minutes. When I got back, the screen was white. Restarting it didn't help. Unplugging it and starting it didn't help. When I restart it, I get the start up sounds, but just a white screen. Any help or suggestions for my monitor? It's about 4 years old now...
Thanks
Meg

Hi there...
I'm not sure which reset may affect displays in the iMacG4 computer; in
that some may help if there is no hardware defect, just a minor logic issue
and not a component failure.
Have you tried on startup to reset the PRAM? That is a handful, since the
power button is on the back of the computer and you need to hold 4 buttons
down on the keyboard simultaneously just after the startup tone sounds;
and then keep holding them until you hear two more startup tones. The 4
buttons are Opt + Apple + R + P.
My computer had an odd video issue after installing the recent security
update; but only in open application windows. I tried several things to
hope to be rid of it; now it looks OK. My AppleCare goes until September.
I am not sure if something as drastic as "Resetting the PMU" would help
resolve this kind of issue. If you have the original video VGA adapter
and a 17" or so VGA (cathode ray tube model) computer display, you
could attach an external display to see if the video card is working that
far; and may be able to see other control panels; and further troubleshoot.
Usually if something such as the clock battery goes dead, you could still
get a computer to work; the date and time could be way off (unless it is
able to reset them automatically by the Apple Time Server online) and
a few other clues would normally be present. Some models may have
a display issue if the 3.6v lithium battery on the board goes dead. But
it should not wink out the display while you are using it, or while it is
powered-up. There are a few occasions where a issue may develop
in one of these, when it may have tried to sleep, but for whatever reason
the display does not go out. I am not sure if that's anything to do with
the symptoms you've experienced; but things can happen.
At some point, it may be necessary to contact a local authorized service
provider and see if they have a qualified product specialist or (?) some
person capable of further troubleshooting; and get an estimate. They
may just try to throw parts at it, if they can't diagnose the true issues.
If so, you may have to rethink what to do next; perhaps find an honest
shop that is an Apple Specialist in the first place, with a reputation.
Wish I could be of more help; and I hope some keyboard or PMU reset
can help wake up your semi-comatose iMacG4 so the LCD works again.

White screen during booting up then after few seconds turned off

Hi All, Please help me out. I uninstall itunes in my MBP using one application called AppZapper. I then wanted to restart the MBP but the computer unable to restart to the OS. It just shows a white screen with an Apple logo and progressing icon, then after few seconds it shut down by itself. I am so sad. Please help me. Thanks

II'm having the same problem, except I've not installed anything new.
AS soon soon as I power on my MacBook Pro ( running OS Maverick ) it boots up for two minutes and powers itself off suddenly. All I see is the white screen with the Apple logo and a bar underneath indicating the upload progress.
