After I upgrade maverick my display will suddenly shut off but my sounds is still working. Need help on this? Thank you
Hello rodamitjr,
It sounds like your iMac display will turn off unexpectedly, but you can tell the computer is still on because you hear audio.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display. I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
You can find the full article here:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

After I install OS X Mavericks, My display will intermittent shut off. Do I need to update my video card?
Check your settings for display sleep in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
And be careful if you contemplate changing your video card- Mavericks may not be compatible with a different video card.
What Mac do you have? -
Recently while using my iMac the display will just cut off but the machine is still running and I have to press the power button to get the display to cut back on. What is causing this?
Look in System Preferences/Energy Saver.

HT1688 my phone was fully charged and suddenly shut off but wont turn back on
my phone was fully charged and suddenly shut down and wont turn back on
Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off issues found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

My ipad screen has gone blank, I was using it and suddenly blank screen. I have tried connecting to power point for charging but nothing. I hope that someone can advise me I would be most grateful
Connect it to the wall charger and wait about an hour.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
Frozen or unresponsive iPad

• Display remains black or blank

MBP will not shut down, also F keys etc. not working. Help?
Hello, must preface that I am not a very computer-savvy person, so please explain as if to a four-year old.
My MBP is about 4 years old, but has been working great all that time. Suddenly, a problem.
I realized that most of my F keys have ceased working, such as turning on the backlit keyboard, adjusting screen brightness, and adjusting volume. I thought a restart would fix it, but my machine will not restart or shut down. I click to request it, but nothing happens. I also try to view "about this mac" from the apple-icon menu (wanted to provide that info for this entry), but the spinning beach ball of doom appears for a moment, then vanishes, and the panel with the info does not open. Also, some of my hot corners have stopped working. Otherwise, it works fine. All my software works, and no sudden crashes.
I haven't installed any new software recently, or done anything out of the ordinary to the MBP, for a few months at least.
I haven't forcequitted the machine, tried to start in safe mode, or started while pushing command, R, P, option, or anything else. I did clear the caches and ran disk utility to repair permissions... then saw another post online saying I *shouldn't* do that stuff. Doh.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this? Obviously, the machine is out of warranty, I do have the disks that came with the machine, and I run time machine regularly...but I'd rather not have to do a fresh reinstall of everything, if it can be avoided.
Any help would be much appreciated."I haven't forcequitted the machine, tried to start in safe mode, or started while pushing command, R, P, option, or anything else."
do command-option-p-r
if that does't do it reset the smc.

The screen is not cracked, it just wont light up. Is there any way I can get it to come on? The nearest apple store is 3 hours away!
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -
after upgrading to os maverick iPhoto wants to upgrade it says..Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. What exactly will I lose, what will not be readable?
In the current version of iPhoto, nothing.
In previous versions of iPhoto, the ability to access any part of it.
Back it up before doing this.

Hi all,
I need help with my iphone4s.
When I turn on my iphone4s, the apple logo will show for a few seconds, and it will suddenly fade off to a blank screen, and not start up. It will then restart by itself, and the cycle repeats. Any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot this problem?
What seems to be the problem here?
thanks and regards

IBook will suddenly shut down and not turn back on
My iBook (apporx. 5 yrs. old) will suddenly shut down while I'm working and not back on. Most of the time after it's been turned off for days it won't turn back on, although it's plugged in and the battery is charged 100%. But on the occations it does power up, everything works properly. Could my battery be completly shot?
iBook Mac OS 9.0.xI too have that problem, but since apple replaced my battery for free, it still does that. I once heard that once your iBook reaches a certain temperature, it will just turn off the screen. usually when it happens to me, I just restart my machine the old way (control-apple-power), but it isn't so good either from what I understand! it is a bad way to work, but until apple fixes the bug, we'll just have to live!
(ps) is there any reason you still run os 9 (cause it is officially discontinued as of 2004)? you should be able to purchase mac OS X (10.2 or 10.3) from ebay or your local mac repair shop (we fix macs in palo alto, ca probably sells it still) I just wanted to inform you of this since you obviously had no idea! -
My Imac will suddenly turn off without warning and then take several hours before it will switch back on again. Can anyone advise?
I like that third tag...
There's really no telling what the problem might be - you may want to try running the Apple Hardware Test (if you can) to see if you've a hardware issue. If you can't even get to the AHT, you've no option but to take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine.
Sorry,

I have a similar problem, but after following your suggestion of deleting my iphone backup and then turning backup back on again, I needed to plug my phone into my computer to sync the backup. I re-tried to do an icloud backup and it again told me that "the last backup could not be completed"... since I had deleted the backup, it says the "Last backup: never". Ugh. I reconnected my iPhone 4S to my computer and iTunes so I could sync my phone and do a backup... it's still "waiting for sync to start"...
For your iCloud backup, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
If you turned iCloud backup off and try to sync to create a backup on your computer and got a "waiting for sync to start" error, it may be caused by a corrupt backup on your computer. You could try deleting your last backup by opeing iTunes and going to Preferences>Devices, clicking on your last backup and clicking Delete Backup. Then try again. -
iTunes will not shut off. Since I upgraded my software, itunes opens no matter what program I am trying to use. If I close it it automatically opens moments later and interferes with what I am working on. This is so annoying
This is probably occuring because your Mac is attempting to wirelessly sync with a device. Try unchecking the checkbox that reads "Open iTunes when device is connected" (this option can be found under the general page of iTunes when you have a device connected).
