Ipad screen turned black in Safari.(only in Safari. other apps are working)

I was using Youtube through Safari. I clicked a video and made it full screen and then the screen turned black. It didn't show me the usual appearance of a video in Youtube.(the pause button, the progress of the video,etc) Although the games and the apps still work. I tried closing it first then opening it again. when i went back it still shows a black screen with the word Ipad and the time. Does anybody have ideas on how to put it back to its normal self? Please HELP!!!!

If this is happening using Safari it usually means that Safari has run out of internal Memory and crashes. One way to help Safari would be have as few tabs open as possible.
Note that the iPad 2 only has 512 MB of internal memory.
The later iPads have more:
iPad 3 - 1 GB
iPad 4 - 1 GB
iPad Air - 1 GB
iPad Air 2 - 2 GB

    I think i have a good solution to this for you guys..all of the hard reset and other magic tricks dont work for me and I dread doing the restore from itunes, so i sat and think and then solved it. so simple.
    Try using the universal search and type in the name for any video title in your library on the IPAD. Go play that file. FYI, The universal search is found when you swipe leftwards on the homescreen and finally come to the text box.
    Cheers..

  • The gmail stopped working in the ipad; when i touch the screen nothing happens, other apps are working

    THe gmail stopped working; when i touch the screen nothing happens, cannot use any funtion with gmail, but other apps work normally

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset
    If it is the gmail app you are using, you might also try deleting and reinstalling it. If you are using the built in iOS mail app, you can try deleting and re-adding the gmail account.

  • Since safari 5.1.2 other apps not working :(

    Hola!
    Since I ran the safari 5.1.2 update, my internet has been sluggish, Chrome crashes on launch, Firefox bounces twice in the dock then nothing & Unison screams at me that it can't access the cache folder.
    After I first installed it I was asked for my user name & password on every finder action which I found suspicious but a reboot fixed that.
    I've AppDeleted Chrome & Firefox twice & reinstalled both twice to no avail.
    Same with unison.
    I've run Disk Utiltiy in both normal & recovery mode.
    I've Time Machined chrome & firefox back in.
    I've run MacPilot & thrown pretty much every available maintenance script at it.
    I've even disabled all my fonts as they can be little monkeys at times.
    One thing that struck me as odd was when the Safari updater ran it said something like (& I'm really paraphrasing here as I took little notice at the time)  'altering permissions & optimising system for installation'
    Or something.
    Liek I say, didn't pay much attantion other than "Hmm, not seen it say that before"
    Anyone else having similar issues?
    Oh, before anyone asks, I  need all browsers for testing websites, plus I also use a separate browser for the kids to Moshi Monster etc on
    Thanks!

  • I uptaded to the last version (4.3.5) and my apps don´t work anymore. Is it a bug? Apple should odo something because I lost all the progress I had in games and, basically, only 3 or 4 apps are working.

    I think Apple should do something, because I lost progress of one year and a half after purchasing iPhone. What kind of software stability is this when you lose perfomance when it was supposed to be the opposite?!
    Looking forward to solving this problem.

    Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.
    Also, you should be regularly syncing and backing up your iPhone so if you do have a problem, you can restore with your backup.  The iPhone is a computer and computers have been know to fail from time to time.  No device is perfect.

  • HT4061 I did install the OS7 on my Ipad yesterday, and right now, while browsing internet with safari, the screen turned black, and no way to return to normal

    I am lost: I did install iOS7 a couple of days ago, and right now, while browsing internet with Safari, the screen turned black suddenly, and I can't reactivate it anyway (buttons death, screen death)

    Thank you very much!
    During the minutes needed  looking for help, I decided to put the magnetic cover on the screen again, and I connected the iPad to the charger. Whe I did uncover the iPad now for a try with your tip (hold sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds), it came to life again.
    Thank you.
    Best regards,

  • Screen turns black while using safari

    While in safari, the screen turns black & returns you back to home. Appears to only happen on larger sites with lots of data.  Getting worst now. Almost happens everytime we're in safari(WIFI). All other apps work fine. I have an Ipad (1). Cleared history & did latest update. Still a BIG problem. Any other advise. Please advise.

    If you have cleared the history, cookies and data, you have pretty much done all that you can. Other users are reporting this same "crashing" behavior with Safari.
    The only other thing that I can think of that MAY be of some help is to quit apps that are running the background. Few apps really do run in the background, but it doesn't hurt to try this and see if it does any good.
    To close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Some have suggested that if you are using iCloud - try turning off Bookmark syncing and that has helped somewhat.
    Apple has announced an update to the iOS that is supposed to be released soon, hopefully they will address this issue in the update.

  • (Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to turn to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

    (Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the on/off switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to return to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

    Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
    If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
    If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
    In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
    Re zooming -
    If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
    If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.

  • My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

    You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.

  • Im using my Ipad 2 and sometimes when I try to look a photo on facebook te screen turns black

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
