Apple TV Screensaver goes black

Screensaver has been working fine, displaying photo's whilst playing music.
But now after a few minutes the photo's stop appearing and the TV screen goes black.
I have restarted the Apple TV, from settings.
I have selected all the photo's in my library; about 1,100 photo's. I appreciate the Apple TV's cache cannot hold all of these and will only display a selection.
I have also rebooted the Apple TV.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

Computer boots with Apple logo then goes black

So my MacBook Pro boots up withe the Apple logo then goes black as if the it is set on the lowest dim setting, you can just barely make out the icons on the screen so it is booting into the log on screen. I tried brightness, I tried holding down shift, you get a flash of blue then goes black. I tried the startup disk it starts up and goes black, you can just make out the outline of the language selection on the startup disk.
Any suggestions.

1. Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down apple/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
2. Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
fsck -fy
Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
reboot

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When I boot up my iPhone 4S it shows the Apple icon then goes black for over 30 seconds.

Why does my iPhone 4S, when I turn it on in the morning and it shows the Apple icon, turns complete black for over 30 seconds before I can swipe and log in? This started happening when I upgraded to iOS8

Need help with Apple Display 20" going black

There support and mac comrades,
I was wondering if anyone has this following problem and had it fixed.
I am currently using double 20" Apple display on a Mac Pro, and suddenly one of the screen start to turn black and get back to normal after few seconds. A week later, the screen goes totally black and won't turn on anymore. However, after shutting down the computer and removing and re-pluging all cables, the screen comes back alive for couple hours. In the beginning I taught that it was the cables so I swap the cable of the two screens around but the same screen is having the same problem. Then I start to think that it is because of the graphic cards, so I tried on another Power G5 and same problem occur after couple hours.
Now I know, that this screen is defect and not caused by cables or graphic cards, is there any troubleshooting for this kind of problem?
Please help!
Sincerly,
Jean

The display is brighter in the upper half then the lower one.
This indicates the lower back light is out, or a component called an inverter has failed, or a connector to these things has failed, and the short/short/long flashing power button is a signal telling you that. There is no way to stop the flashing unless you fix the failed component.
I do not recommend attempting fixing this problem yourself. Inverters can have relatively high voltage and could be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Apple TV 2 Goes Black for a Second, Every 10 Seconds

My problem started when the power went out for about 20 minutes:
- When I turn my TV on, my screen looks fine and I can navigate around
- 10 seconds after I turn my TV on the screen will go to black for about a second then come back
- 10 seconds later, it will go black again for about a second then come back
- 10 seconds later... same thing, and so on, and so on
- I've tried different HDMI cables, but that doesn't fix the problem
- I've tried different resolutions, but that doesn't fix the problem
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.

Help! Light gray magnified apple logo then goes black and dies.

Hi,
Whenever I start up my macbook pro a lighter than usual gray screen pops up with a magnified apple logo and spinning wheel, it then proceeds to go to a black screen and stays there. I tried starting it up in single user mode and running fsck but that didn't do anything it failed to notice that there was a problem. I then tried running disk aide from my start up disk but it failed to find anything wrong with my computer. I replaced my hard drive with a new one and retried all of those things and still the gray screen would appear. I also ran disk utility and and verified and repaired disk permissions and nothing worked. In addition to that i tried resetting my ram. I have no clue how to fix this I've searched all over the web but can't find anything. I desperately need my computer for school.
Thanks
Dave

PowerMac wont start up - Gets to Apple screen then goes black

Recently my 2.5Ghz DP PowerMac G5 has been behaving badly and now it appears to have died!
On startup it gets to the grey background with the Apple then nothing. No spinning gear and no Hard Drive activity from the Mac. After switching off and trying again not even the Apple screen comes up I just get a black screen. If I leave it a while then try again I get the Apple screen again but nothing else.
Tried starting up in 'Safe Mode' with shift pressed but using wireless keyboard and mouse wasn't sure if keyboard is recognised until Mac has fully booted. Tried switching to conventinal wired keyboard and mouse but still nothing - it's as if the keyboard isn't being found as the light on the Caps lock doesn't work while attemping a boot up. Does it matter where the keyboard is plugged in? Mac or monitor?
I can only think to take it in to Apple for repair but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very grateful!

Hi-
The 2.5GHz machine is liquid cooled.
Open up the tower, and look for signs of leakage:

I just replaced my ipod touch 4th generation screen and I went to go turn it on and it flashes the apple symbol then goes black and does the same thing over and over.

Oh ur in the boot loop! You have to restore I believe. Was ur device jailbroken? Because you would have to completely reset it.

Monitor goes black after apple logo startup

My family gave me a macbook pro 15 inch laptop. they bought it back in aug 2007. Everything has worked fine they told me until my sister had gotten into a small fender bender. But it was enough to send the laptop flying into some stuff in the back of the car, and dent the bottom of it. the problem is that the lap top starts up with gray screen and apple logo, then goes black, but the computer is still running. Also, if i hook it up to a external monitor, it works perfectly, as in it shows up on the external monitor. the dent is located on the botoom right hand corner if your looking at the computer head on. Also the computer gets hotter than usual. Any ideas on how to fix it? I'm a PC guy usually but would like to delve into macs also, so i would like to get this working. I'm running lepoard snow. Thats all i really know about it, any suggestions? I took it into the apple store and they said the logic board could be shorting out because of the aluminum hitting the logic board where the dent is. but if that was true, why would i get a display in the first place? any ideas.
Thank you for suggesting anyting, because it would help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are a couple of sites with teardown instructions:
http://www.ifixit.com/
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/
Both of these sites also have some troubleshooting tips.
If it were mine, I'd take it apart and straighten out the bent metal. Also check the internal cable connections--it's possible the flex cables to the display may need to be reseated. The connections to an external display are different from the connections to the built in display, so the external could work even if the internal one did not.
It actually sounds like it survived the crash pretty well since it still boots up and runs. The shock may have dislodged some cables, and you need to check and see if the fans are working. You can download a widget from the Apple site called "iStatPro" which will display fan speeds and temperatures.
Did you get the system discs? If so, you may be able to boot to the Apple Hardware Test. If you can, run the extended version and see if you get any error codes. Not sure if you can run it using an external monitor, but it may be worth a try.
Post back if you have any questions. Good luck!

Everytime I Click On An App the Screen Goes Black then to the Menu

Everytime that I click on an app (except the preset ones from apple), the screen goes black (or to the initial start up screen for that app) and then goes to the main menu. HELP!
PS:
I've tried restoring it, AND removing all apps and putting certain ones back on. Neither worked.

My ipod touch is flashing white on and off, I hold the buttons down, and the screen goes black- but the apple logo does not come on. What do I do?

So I have had this problem before, and know that you hold down the top Power button and the Home button, at the same time, for roughly 10 seconds, or until the apple logo comes on.
The problem is, when I press the buttons and the screen goes black, like it's supposed to before the logo pops up, the apple logo isn't appearing.
I was wondering if that's because my I pod touch was drained when I plugged it in to charge, and I tried to turn it on when it was still charging?
What can I do?

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!
