It doesn't sound like yeast- it sounds like an infection. I wouldn't bottle it, because it could keep going and cause bottles to explode.

Top up the cider, and see what happens. That's all I can suggest at this point.
 
i bottled it up 5 days ago now and has no signs of any white stuff. all looks good and is now clearing in the garage.
all is welll!
