24" LED Display won't light but other functions all work

My 24" LED Display suddenly won't light (it flashes the desktop once in a while). The sound, the USB ports, and the Magsafe power all work. It's just the display that isn't functioning. 1) Is there a fix? 2) Will Apple take on the repair for the $400 fixed repair fee? Thanks

I have the same display and mine burned out on the same day as yours. I wonder if our displays were made at the same time and the backlights are all reaching EOL. It is somewhere over four years old (discontinued in 2010); one year after support runs out if it is tied to a computer purchased with Apple Care (I did this for my Airport Time Capsule). I used my display a lot as I work from home. It never occurred to me the backlight would burn out.
My question specifically is the cost of replacing the backlights. How much is it? Is it worth it? The current Dell Ultra Sharp 24" monitor is about $500 and is better resolution and color. If I could afford it, I would buy the Retina iMac, just for the display, although the computer is pretty hot too;-).

    You need to go to the App stores and find compatible apps. iOS device do not natively have to ability to transfer info to a computer via BT to a computer.
    With iOS 8 you can use AirDrop

  • HT204368 after downloading ios7, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car)- but other programs (pandora) work just fine

    After downloading ios 7.02, iTunes no longer works through my blue tooth (car), but other music apps work fine.  iTunes and iTunes radio work fine though headset and on speaker, but won't work through bluetooth.
    Anything that can be changed in 'settings' or with my iTunes so I can use it through my blue tooth?

    Hi, milljam7. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Sometimes closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device can resolve the issue.

  • No animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta - no fix

    As of yesterday no animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta today, but this did not fix the problem.
    this problem started yesterday; before then there was no problem.
    I have updated everything I can find, and ran a system restore and disc clean.
    The problem still persists. What am I missing here?

    This happened to me too. This problem started suddenly with no changes made on my part. I had 11.2 Flash version with Firefox 13. I tried updating to the new Firefox, same problem, then updated to Flash 11.3. I even uninstalled RealPlayer.
    I read a solution on another forum and it was as easy as clearing my cache. Everything works fine now (even after reinstalling RealPlayer and allowing the download button function).

  • After upgrading to maverick; help & other functions not working

    After upgrading to maverick; help and other functions not working?

    Sometimes just closing and reopening the Help window will clear up the problem. If it doesn't, log out or restart the computer and try again. Otherwise, you may need to delete the Help cache.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. Help pages will be slow to load at first.
    If that doesn't work, the problem may be caused by network conditions. It may go away by itself, though I can't say how long you should wait.
       A persistent failure to load help data has been reported as an issue with satellite networks. Test on a different network, if possible. I've also seen at least one report that Photo Stream in iCloud can mysteriously interfere with Help. I'm not sure whether that's true, but try disabling Photo Stream, if applicable.*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • My apple Tv will not airplay, this is the 3rd one i have exchanged and my devices airplay just fine elsewhere, could there be a problem with the wifi even though all of the other functions are working fine?

    Hello there, AntRambo.
    The following Knowledge Base articles may provides some steps to go over for troubleshooting your issue:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    And also the following:
    iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
    Particularly but not exclusively of note:
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Ensure that you have followed the steps in using AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring.
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon  , try one of the following steps:
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay.
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices. Some content requires an Internet connection to authorize content playback. AirPlay capabilities may be limited if your network is not connected to the Internet.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • HT4623 i have 4s and the operating system is iOS 5.1.1  got the update message of iOS 6. if update the iOS 6, other functions will work unchanging?

    I have apple 4s and the operating system is iOS 5.1.1  got the update message of iOS 6. if update the iOS 6, other functions will work unchanging?

    What other functions?
    There have been some wifi related issues reported with the 4S being updated to IOS 6. There is no turning back once you update so keep that in mind.
    I recommend updating via iTunes so that you make a backup of all your data. You may want to make an iCloud backup as well.
    Other than that, I don't understand what other functions you are concerned about?

  • AX green light, but airtune does not work

    I just bought an AX. The main purpose is to use airtune and to share printer at home, and to bring it to create wireless network when I am on business trip.
    When I first set up the AX, or later do a reset, the setup program can find AX. I use airport admin utility to set up the following:
    Airport tab:
    Wireless model: join an existing wireless network (wireless client)
    Wireless network: I choose the current wireless network I have at home.
    Internet tab:
    Configure: Using DHCP
    I clicked 'Update' button. The status light became green, but airtune does not work. I did not see the button show on iTune for me to choose the speaker. I went back to Airport Admin Utility, but could not find AX at all.
    I googled for possible solution, and saw concern regarding DHCP, so I tried:
    Internet tab:
    Configure: Manually
    IP address: 192.168.0.30. My wireless router assigns IP from 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.33
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router address: 192.168.0.1
    DNS server: 192.168.0.1
    After updating the information to AX, I have still the same issue: green light, but no airtune, Airport Admin Utility cannot find the AX.
    My wireless is a gigabyte. Please help. Thanks.

    Sadly I can't help, but i can confirm: I am having the same problem. AirTunes was working fine, up until I went away for a month -- have just returned, and now am getting the same problem with TWO Airport Express units, which makes me think it is some kind of software update issue?
    Will keep looking into it, and will let you know if I find anything.

  • Updated firefox, now I am unable to connect to the internet via mozilla but other browsers still work

    When mozilla asked my for an update several months ago I chose to skip the install and wait. Did the install soon after and firefox stopped working even though my connection to the internet is fine. I uninstalled mozilla firefox, used another browser to access the mozilla website to reinstall firefox. This fixed my problem and firefox was working again, until another update came along. This time attempting to uninstall and reinstall did nothing. Once again I am left using another browser to use the support forum and firefox is not working. Please help!!

    That is an indication that a firewall is blocking the new version of Firefox. For details see [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]].

  • The video files from Colin Smith's Adobe Speedgrade tutorial are solid green but other video files work.

    Howdy,
    I downloaded the project files for Colin Smith's Speedgrade tutorial but all the video files show as solid green and have a frame rate of 0.01 to 0.00 from within premiere Pro CC14 but they play fine on VLC player.  I tried to download and unzipped the files multiple times with the same result.  Other MP4 content works fine on the Premiere Pro timeline.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I suggest you to post this issue on the Premiere Forum, I am afraid we can't really help on this one.
    Thanks,

  • 8703e- display is blank white while phone functions are working.

    Hi,
    I get this strange problem on my 8703e handset. The screen goes plain white (no hourgalss)....while other phone fucnctions work normally (i.e. i can pick calls by pressing green button, or hear messages delivering, can see LED notificationsI but I dont see anything on the display becouse it is simple white screen....
    After few hours this problem automaticall goes....and then return back suddenly after some days (I dont know why)
    One more Important thing -  before this screen goes blank, the keypads become non responsive, phone just don't respond so to make it responsive I have to do a battery pull (to hard restart) and then it starts but only with a blank white screen.
    Does anybody have any idea about this problem or its solution ? Has anybody encountered this problem before ?
    I shall highly appreciate ur views and suggestions
    Thanks
    -jai.

    I'm not suggesting an on-device WIPE...I agree that's not useful. Rather, both JL_CMDER and BBSAK can conduct a full wipe of the PROM areas and reload the OS totally clean...that's the process I'm recommending.
    Also, be very careful with restoring the IPD...since it was taken while the device was active on BES, a full restore will also include the IT Policy. You don't want that on board anymore. You may have to "resettofactory" again to remove it if you did a full restore.
    Indeed, in this condition, I'd suggest not doing a restore at all. Just load a totally clean OS (wipe first with BBSAK or JL_CMDER) load and see how it goes. Also be sure to check for a newer OS level, even if from another carrier (just delete VENDOR.XML after installing the OS package to the PC).
    You also should avoid the Desktop Software for all of this (save for restoring). Rather, use the LOADER.EXE component of the OS package installed to the PC. Be sure to restrict any and all data, add-on, or other non-core components as it processes.
    Good luck!
