Any reason why my screen goes black
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I see it's a common problem and is probably a design flaw. To bad jobs died or it might have been a recall item.
It very well could be, but...
Have you blown the dust out lately?

Why My Screen goes BLACK after gaming????
*My Screen goes BLACK after gaming, or exiting Full Screen Mode*. The music keeps playing, but doesnt do anythin! It only shows the mouse pointer so i have to force shutdown. how can i see my desktop and windows??? And it isnt the batteries. Help me thks
I suspect that your game has a bug when switching between full-screen and window mode. When or if this happens again while you are still seeing the black screen press the following three keys: option, command, escape (hold down all three at the same time). You may or may not then see the "Force Quit" window. In any case, release the optioncommandescape key sequence and press the return key. This should quit the game and return you to your normal desktop. You may have to perform the "Force Quit" more than once, two or three times being the most I would expect (that is, if the first time doesn't work).

i have an ipod tough 3g and its like about 4 to 5 years old it works perfectly fine except the home button is abit messed up and the ipod sometimes crashes. but other than that everything is fine. so i was watching something on an app and then al of a sudden i dont see the video i can just hear it. i then think its just the app but when i go on youtube the same exact thing happens. you click to watch a video and you can hear it perfectly but you cant see anything. the screen is just black when u ONLY watch a video. this happened last night so yea.i really hope somebody can help me figure out how to fix this and whats wrongwith it:)
thanks for your time and help!
Noor .T.When it goes black do a very short press of the button on the right upper side of the phone and the screen will reappear. Make it a very short quick press.
OTOH, if you are using the speaker so you can watch the screen as you are talking when it goes dim touch the screen anywhere that it is blank and it will again go bright. On long calls you have to repeat this.
Many folks have had the same problem you described and what I have told you is the best and ONLY way around the screen going blank during a call.

New (3mo) macbook air screen goes black and sometimes won't come back on after I unplug it from the power cord. Any ideas why it is doing this? Sometimes I have to hold power button for 10 seconds for it to shut off then back on. Sometimes holding the power button for a second is enough for it to come back on.
I took it to the Genius Bar, and they identified it as a hardware issue. Just got it back today. Parts replaced were:
620-5629 Display Module — Symptom: Distored/blurred/focus video issue
605-3284 Top Case with Keyboard — Symptom: specific key(s) do not work
So far so good. I'd suggest taking it in and not trying to work around it — it's a rare hardware issue (given the number of threads about it) and should be replaced. -

My screen goes black and computer freezes. I know this is a software based problem. Any suggestions?
About a month ago I installed an Intego software package on my computer. After it was installed my computer began to randomly freeze. The freezing would start with the screen going black and then fans spinning up. Closing the screen didn't help. Only rebooting did. I took my Macbook to a repair service and they said that the hardware was perfectly fine. They recommended a full wipe and reinstall. I have since uninstalled Intego and for about a week my computer seemed fine. Since then, however it has started acting up again. I'm thinking about doing the wipe and reinstall of ML but am hesistant. Any suggestions what I can do to avoid that?
Hello nattygrimm,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
I recommend starting here:
The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Give the new user a name and short name.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
Work your way down the article as needed.
All the best,

I have a iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it
Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem. -
Macbook air Wi Fi and sound stops every time it goes to sleep. i have to restart it every time to use wifi and sounds. this started happening just after the latest upgrade to OS X. any reasons why its doing that and how to fix it.
Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X. -
Screen goes black for no reason
Hi first post, My iMac intel seems to shut down intermittently, when it happens the screen goes black but you can still hear the fans running the white light is not on and there is no response from the keys or mouse so I have to hold the power button to turn it off.
Then when I turn it back on again you hear the fans start up, the light stays on and the screen stays black and would stay like that for life if I left it.
If I start it up 2-3 min after I have shut it down, it starts fine and will be ok for 5 min and then process happens again.
This can happen alot and some times will happen after 5 days of being ok and working perfectly.
Very frustrating! anyone els with this problem?
iMac intel 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8)There have been similar reports. Usually they needed to take it for a repair that was covered under warranty.
I suggest you plan for the worst and back up everything of critical importance. Call Apple for support, but do be prepared to erase your hard drive and reinstall your OS. If the problem then persists before you add any additional software or connect any other hardware, you've proven it's some hardware issue and can have Apple immediately fix it under warranty with no other effort on your part. Best of luck.

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement. -
why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call
hi smalley3,
Welcome to the Forums.
The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

Is this an app bbbc? IF it is I would contact the app developer and see if they can resolve the issue for you.
