Save the MacBook Pro - white screen of death

My macbook pro starts, I get the ringtone to start and then the white screen of death that led to the computer to activate the walk and walk. I bring in my computer for repairs, but I am not able to save anything as none of the start up works. I can not access the disk utility, I tried! I wonder if anyone has experienced this or has any suggestions on what to do before going for repairs.

  • Scratches on the Macbook pro retina screen.

    Hello

    I bought a Macbook pro 13 "in may 2015 Retina. In the last six months, I've noticed there are scratches that are developed not the screen. I do not use a cleaning on the screen lotion and dust with the brush dusting given to me by the retailer. He started with the corner of screens and finally spread on the screen.

    As such, there is no difference in the resolution of the screen, but I was wondering if the surface of the screen will crumble over time. Please let me know the solution for the same thing.

  • MacBook pro white screen A1502

    I have macboook pro a1502. When I start the computer, I have white screen... And I expect in 5 minutes, the light of the LCD is on... But the screen remains white. I try to press the power button / stop + ctrl + opt + r + p no effect. I don't know how to try again. In my city no call center and I don't know where to fix my mac. I have in the West of Padang, sumatra Indonesia... Sorry my English so bad... Thank you

    Your Mac can do the simplest thing is to start with the down Option. This code here everything in ROM, and if you get the chime, your processor and a bit or RAM work as well.

    Startup option (also known as the name of the Boot Manager) draws a blank screen, then during several minutes, adds an icon for each potentially bootable Volume. If your drives are always answers and seem to be bootable, you should get two icons, one for Macintosh HD and one for recovery. If you have a heating engineer/DVD in the drive, which must also be indicated.

  • How to save the MacBook Pro Photo library

    I am eager to help a friend to back up its Photo library of his MacBook Pro on a USB key. The Mac will be erased once the process is complete. Can someone give me a step by step guide how to keep safe all the photos of his library is supported if she can transfer it to a new Mac?

    One option would be to use the Google Photos. You can download the Google Photos to your MacBook Pro and iPhone app, and it backs up all the photos. Don't have free unlimited storage so no need to worry about losing all of them.

    See photos.google.com for more information.

  • White screen of death. MacBook Pro. Help, please!

    Hello! I desperately need your help.

    So I was with my mac, all normal until one day it freezes and I m to force close.

    Unfortunately when I tried to turn it back on, it's just stuck in the white screen of death. Most of the time, is just white screen without logo or an image folder or anything like that.

    I know that my computer is alive because sometimes (not often), the apple logo and I m able to try reinstalling OS X (but then it crashes again), but most of the time is just a white screen. I tried most of the entries and they don't do the trick (Cmmd + R, shift, etc.) Most of them Don t work and Don t anything, except for the PRAM zapping entry that is Cmmd + Option + R + P, but after resetting, it still shows just the white of the screen most of the time.)

    Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you very much.

    If you can get to single user. Order S at startup, you can use the command fsck - fy, then click on enter. If return it Mac or (your user name) change of command run again until it come back OK.  You are unable to recover, R command? or safe mode, the SHIFT key down?  If you get something different during race one user post. You have a time machine backup or whatever it is?

  • First white screen of death, now black screen on the internal, external screen works

    Hello

    a few months before I could not suddenly start my macbook more. He had the white screen of death and absolute no functionality in addition to its departure.

    A few days ago I got the macbook, open/close a couple of times so that it is operated and suddenly the keyboard LED lit and the screen

    turned black. I realized that he really started and connected to the external monitor. everything works fine now in addition to the internal display.

    I run Apple Hardware Test mode clamshell, but extensive testing even said that there is no material errors.

    can I conclude that my screen is not faulty? I thought it of the graphics chip, but wouldn't the AHT it detects then?

    Another thing to mention is that the battery should be changed (warning hint)

    I tried PRAM - & resetting the SMC without success.

    MacBookPro 13 "A1278 mid-2012.

    I would really appreciate any kind of advice.

    Thanks in advance

  • Just as a reference: how to FIX the annoying 'White Screen Of Death"with Silverlight and"Access denied"error with computer management.

    Well, I just hope that someone who has met these two mistakes will find my dose. It might save a lot of pointless research on the net.

    SYMPTOMS:
    -When you try to open a Silverlight application in your browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), your browser displays only a white area. When you right click on the white area, you can click on the Silverlight properties.
    -If you try to start "Computer management" by clicking on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage', you get the following error: 'access denied '.

    CAUSE:
    The following errors are usually the result of a bad environment variable. In this case the "windir" environment variable does not work correctly. You can try running the management of the computer to start > run and entering:
    %windir%\system32\mmc.exe/s %windir%\system32\compmgmt.msc

    Notice the between the characters of percentage windir environment variable. If you run the above code, you will probably get an error saying that MMC cannot open the file. Look closely at the path, it's back!
    You will probably find any % somewhere.

    What actually happened here is the variable windir made reference to another variable: systemroot
    Why this creates problems, I'm not sure. Also, I don't understand what made then variable windir change.

    SOLUTION:
    -From your desktop or Explorer: right-click on "My computer" and select "Properties".
    -Click on the "Advanced" tab and then click "Environment Variables".

    http://pcauthorities.com/images/advanced-system-properties-XP.jpg

    -Did the windir variable. Together to "C:\Windows" do not think that it is already set to "C:\Windows", because windows then tells you. Double-click it to know for sure.

    http://www.adminxp.com/windowsvista/envvariabl.PNG

    -See, I told you! Change this to "C:\Windows".

  • Variation on the white screen of death - Sansa Fuze.

    I get the white screen of death, but my problem is unique in this sense: I can turn on my rocket, browse my menu and enter in the subsections of the menu, for example, Mian Menu > settings > Panel configuration, but when I click on an option, say, format, white screen, reboots of my rocket, and the screen is frozen on the logo screen.  Help, please

    Sounds beyond any help that is initiated by the user (reset, format, firmware, re - install, etc..). I would like to, or send it back if you are in the window to return to your dealer. If this is not the case, call SanDisk directly to a likely RMA replacement if it is less than 1 year old.

  • What is the macbook pro last?

    Hello, I am a student and I bought my first Macbook Pro 3 weeks.

    I love it and was not able to get my hands on it since!

    So today when I came home and was about to check my e-mail, it happened suddenly empty!

    Black! I tried to reboot several times with different combinations, but not of chance that he will not go beyond the login screen.

    I got help from Apple and could activate in Safeboot but always lights in normal mode.

    I'm really upset because I was SO careful with her. He did not leave my room, I have same press as light as possible and put my mousepad touch click so I don't have to support as much...

    As I said though, I used it a lot, a lot of videos, making notes, websites, etc. etc. I don't turn a lot of nights and close the form.

    Y at - it advice or habits that I could make to my macbook it's bad for her?

    And how much time the macbook pro durent usually? I have 13 inch Retina display with mid-range ram and processor, so it was not the cheapest, it was one of the more expensive down 13 inches.

    I'm so afraid now because I'm a student and the death of my macbook on me in the future near or frequently (I only had it for 3 weeks) he's going to make things really difficult. So according to the pleading of your experience, I hope to upgrade to Apple Care or what not. They give you a replacement if it should be fixed?

    I was hoping that it will last at least 5 years, would be a great expectation?

    Thanks in advance for your advice!

    My Blackberry Bold 9700 had the white screen of death and will seek to revive, but while loading could fail and then repeat it, I then he backed up using the Blackberry Desktop Software and tried to do the reset of the system using this...

    3. After the configuration of the aircraft has been recovered, you will be on the device Application selection page.  You can scroll through the list for all desired applications are selected.  You can also deselect all applications that you do not use to save space.  Click Next.
    4. On the next page, click on the Advanced button.  Check the two checkboxes (delete all application data and delete all currently installed applications) are checked.  Click Next.

    Help, please

    It could be at this stage.  I'm leaning more towards the software side.  Can you take the device to the store and reload the software?  If we give them problems, then the material may be failing.

  • Change of keyboard USB external Apple connected to the Macbook Pro

    Dear ladies and gentlemen,

    I need your help. I have a MacBook Pro running the last Sierra 17 "MacOS. I bought a 27 "Thunderbolt display and wanted to use a full external keyboard USB Apple (with the help of the digital keys). I have connected to the screen "USB port, closed down the internal screen MacBook... magic happened... keyboard poped office to the top of the screen external AND external full resolution was working properly..." Unfortunately only for 1-2 minutes, then the layout changed back irreversible in a layout resembling the layout if I would press "alt". Only way I could "resolve" to disconnect the keyboard USB plug and then plug again... but after 1-2 minutes did the same thing...

    I tried to plug the USB plug into the MacBook Pro directly, but the same thing happened...

    I am so unhappy that I can't use correctly the full length external Apple keyboard, large... Any hint/resolution?

    Thank you for your help in advance,

  • iMac 8.1 White Screen of Death

    Before I launch into history, here are some of the relevant features of my computer. I have an iMac 8.1 (2008 model) with a processor clocked at 2.66 DC2, 2 GB of RAM and a hard disk of 1 TB with three partitions. The main (about 640 GB) ran 10.11, the second a (32) snow leopard and the rest it has been implemented with Windows 7. This configuration worked well enough (if a little cludgily) for some time, but the other day, things came to a head.

    It has a bit of history history, please bear with me.

    Monday, after the computer has been awkwardly slow with no application, I thought to reinstall El Capitan to see if that would help. After the installation failed, I ran disk utility on the main partition to see what he would say. After a brief inspection, he said that it was a problem he couldn't solve, recommended making sure that my data has been backed up and clear. The Snow Leopard partition, however, seemed fine. Somewhere along the line I also gave Techtool Pro 8 a spin; It seems to indicate that most of the things associated with non-partition were very well, but found that the hard drive (in general) has failed to test temperature.

    In any case, I boot in Snow Leopard, I guess to see if the old version of disk utility would have a bit more luck (this may sound stupid, but I confess I have a lingering distrust of the latest iteration of this software). As expected, he did not progress. I even ran DiskWarrior 4, and he says that the partition was shot. Somewhere along the way, I had disassembled the main partition for a reason, and after not being able to get him back for some time (and getting only ReadOnly when she didn't come back), I myself resigned and the likelihood that the partition was shot. We ran by Best Buy and picked up a 1 TB external drive (which I never had before, as stupid as it sounds; "I guess I never realized to cheap ways they had obtained). I spend a night using carbon copy to backup my important data and when I'm done moving things on the next day morning, delete this partition. So far so good. I reinstall El Capitan without any hitch and spend a day or two, transfer of information on the 'new '. I also make sure to configure the new disk as a time Machine, get all my data saved on it.

    Things seem to be fine, and I'm starting to get back to my daily routine. However, this morning, after the connection and use it for a little while, the entire screen changes abruptly a very light grey/white color and no unresponsive. I understand that nothing is happening, stop and restart the power. The screen remains white. The slider appears, but nothing big happens else. At some point (I'm afraid I don't remember if it's on this first boot or one of the few later), a folder with a flashing question mark appears (this never appeared, however, on one or two startups). I try different things: reset PRAM (which at least brought the sound chime, who had kept silent, back), reset the SMC and boot into safe mode, a disc hard my choice with the Option key pressed, or since the Snow Leopard DVD. When he answered the optionkey down initially, it would shoot the cursor and screen as if he was going to offer me different drives, but nothing ever came, not even the external drive. After further start attempts, he stopped to show anything, even the cursor.

    I have the external drive disconnected right now. When you start the computer, a white screen comes up and then nothing else seems to happen, no matter what key combos are pressed.

    It was for some time ago, but I thought it would be useful to mention that we sometimes have blackouts here. After such an event, old computer power supply burned and had to be replaced. Since that time, however, everything seemed to work pretty well.

    I looked around, discussions and others to try to see if I could find a similar experience, but as it is I'm quite puzzled. The only thing I have not tried is opened and unplug the hard drive as suggested by an intern, to see if she might try to find other media to boot from.

    I thought I would ask here to see if he has any advice this community had to offer before doing something drastic. Thanks for reading and your review.

    If you have the original install disc provided with the computer, run Apple Hardware Test Mode Extended 2 - 3 times back to back. If errors appear when you have confirmed a significant hardware problem the computer has to go repair. The reason to run AHT in Extended Mode what is complete, but it can miss errors during the first and even the second pass.

    However my guess is have some other hardware problem and you really takes them to a CENTER in your area to be diagnosed professionally.
