Intel Mac :: White Blinking Startup Screen?

Feb 10, 2012

When I shut down my iMac and restarted it gets past the apple logo then turns white and starts dimming and then getting brighter but will not go any further.  

I tried to reboot in safe mode and it done the same thing. I power cycled by unplugging the holding down the power button.

OS X :: Unable To Setup MBR / Black Screen With A Blinking White Underscore

Aug 12, 2009

I am running OSX 10.5.8. A little while ago I successfully Boot-Camped my hard drive and installed Windows 7, but i recently got a new hard drive. I copied over my OSX partition successfully, but didn't copy over the Windows partition. On my new drive I went through the boot camp assistant and created a partition and inserted the Windows 7 disc. But when it restarts, it just seems to hang there- it's just a black screen with a blinking white underscore(_).

I have been told that because I copied over my OSX partition it didn't set up the MBR on the new disk, is their any way to fix this? (besides doing a clean install of OSX)
Are there any software or guides available to help me fix this?

PowerPC :: Blinking Screen For Few Seconds And Then White And Vertical Grey Lines

Mar 25, 2009

The other day the screen started blinking randomly. It'll flicker for a few seconds and then go white with vertical grey lines for a few seconds. Then it will go back to normal. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to it. Sometimes it will go through that process for five minutes and then stop. Other times I can be working on it for hours and nothing will blink or act screwed up.

MacBook :: White Start Up Screen With Blinking Documents Folder Symbol With Question Mark

Apr 11, 2012

Just came back from the Genius Bar at Apple Amsterdam. Both iTunes and iPhoto had problems launching and libraries were not loading. Ruled out hardware problems so they tried installing OS Snow Leopard over my 10.5.8 in a way to keep my documents safe. All went well until halfway it said it couldn't install succesfully. Made a new appointment for in 3 days from now. They would then overwrite the current OS with the new one so i should go home and make sure to back up all my files in the meantime. Problem is that when i came home and started my laptop i got a blank/white screen with a blinking documents folder symbol with a question mark in it! Does anybody know what it means and will i be able to ever make a back up of my documents?

Intel Mac :: Initially Froze With A Blinking Question Mark Screen Then HDD Is Dead?

Apr 28, 2012

My iMac's HDD is fried. The computer just froze so I decided to reboot it and was presented with that lovely blinking question mark folder. I tried it again (and every time since) I get the good old apple logo on the grey screen with the spinning loading thing, but it never progresses past that.I threw in my old Leopard install disc and it asks me where I want to install Leopard, but the HDD option never appears, nor does it in Disk Utility. So what do I do now? It's Sunday where I am (Melbourne, Australia).I'm not too sure if it's still covered under the AppleCare Protection Plan. Should I take it to an Apple store? I remember when my mouse broke I tried taking it there and they told me to take it to some authorised repair place. I'm not too excited about hefting the iMac to the shops only be told they can't

Software :: Not Start Up And Blinking White Light

Jul 16, 2008

I'm a relatively new Mac user. In fact, I haven't had that much experience at all. I work in a donations store and today we got a donation of an iMac. I searched around a bit and I'm sure it's a G5 model. It looks like [URL]. It looks to be in great condition, no scratches, not even a fingerprint on the monitor.

However, when I turned it on, after plugging the power chord in, I started experiencing problems. The fans kicked on and I heard the chime (I assume that was a post?) but I was getting no video and the white LED on the front of the screen was flashing on and off. The exact pattern is strange - I don't think I've see it before. It flashes once, then stops, then flashes again, then stops. Over and over. No sequence. :| The computer did not come with a keyboard or a mouse. I was testing it to see if it actually worked, before I bought the keyboard and the mouse, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with that? I'm not really sure.

Software :: Unable To Boot After Changing Ram / Beeping Three Times And White Lid Blinking

Jun 12, 2009

I have my laptop which is Powerbook G5 version 10.3.9 Panther. For the last two months the PB didn't boot up and it was beeping three times and white lid blinking.After going through internet i notice the problem was RAM and i need to change it. I bought another RAM 1GB (the old one was 512MB) and inserted it in the lower RAM slot.

Thank GOD the mac boot up properly and everything was fine. I charged it to full capacity and shut it down.The next day i started my mac as usual but surprisingly it beeps three times and it didn't boot up again.I open the RAM cover tried to remove it and replaces it again but it didn't work out and i am totally devastated and i don't know what to do any more.The brand name of the RAM i used is TRANSCEND.

PowerPC :: G5 Won't Turn On ... Blinking Power Button / White Light Every 4 Seconds

Jul 21, 2009

I have a G5 dual 1.8 power PC...Bought some ram put it in & booted up. Then a red light came on the logic board behind the power button. The machine wouldn't turn on....I called apple care & we rearranged the ram, now the red light is gone but my system still won't boot up. The white power light blinks every few seconds... the apple store told me sorry can't help because your machine is vintage. Even if my logic board is fried is there a place to buy one on the cheap?

Intel Mac :: White Sun Stripes From The Top Of The Screen

May 10, 2012

I own a 3year old iMac 24" model 2008. On the top of the screen theres appeared some white "sun"-alike stripes.

I got the iMac from someone which unfortunately is a smoker, so the first thing i did was cleaning the glass, which did alot for the fuzzy smudges. But theres something wrong in the LCD screen itself. 

My observation are that its easier to see when theres backlight, so when the screen is black its almost not visible. 

I wonder if theres any chance that dust/smoke has got its way inside of the LCD even though the stripes look way too symmetric.

Intel Mac :: Blank (White ) Box Appeared On Screen

Apr 20, 2012

A small (about 1 inch square) blank, white box has appeared at top left-hand corner of my screen. Nothing seems to shift or remove it - cursor doesn't seem to recognise or register on it. I first noticed it soon after I'd had to re-start the Mac (it failed to 'fire up' as usual the other morning), but I can't remember exactly what I was doing when I first saw it.

Intel Mac :: Vertical Black And White Lines On Screen

Mar 5, 2012

Simply using my Imac for watching tv on the web, Hulu, and left to help my wife get groceries in the house. My wife checked her email and closed Safari.

I came back in roughly 10 minutes from when she shut down Safari to see a black screen with white pinstriping, and the mac being totally unresponsive. Shut down and rebooted, sent off the report to Apple, and am now here with seemingly no problems. 

Needless to say, as a photographer this computer is just about as important as my camera. Should I be worried? discovered the thread to this issue, which appears to be quite extensive.
