APPS SHUTTING DOWN, BLACKS OUT, RECENTLY FELL AND HAS THE SCREEN UNEVEN
i got my g4 a year ago. recently i dropped it as i tripped on the stairs and now the screen is a tiny bit uneven with the keyboard area. also, i was told m startup disc was nearly full so i deleted many items or apps i didn't think i needed. anyways, it has recently been shuting down apps such as iphoto, aim is a big one, and many more. just last night i had finished working on a paper and went downstairs to eat. when i came back my screen was black and would not move. not one button would work-the audio acknowledging a button was pressed didnt even beep. i tried to press the power button multiple times but it did not work.
i decided to leave it over night in hopes that it would reset itself or something. it did not. i had to restart it which is terrible for me since i did not have the chance to save my paper.
why is all of this happening? is there anyway possible to get my paper back?
a little more info:
i never shut it off-always just put it to sleep
i use appleworks for my papers
apple has done NOTHING to help me with my probs whenever i send them "what i was doing when the problem occured"
what is the best way to deal with this?
g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)
it just sorta started working again

However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it

when i charge my ipod it turns on to the apple sign then shuts down again wont turn on and has no battery i tried getting a new cable but it still didnt work i also tried to push the home button and power off button and still didnt work also out of warrenty
When you plug it in to iTunes does it show up under devices? Try restoring it. That's the best thing you can do if you're out of warrenty

my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?
I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

hi there every one i have a iphone 5s i have drop in bath 16 time got it to work evry time at work monday on a diger fell out off pocket and smashed the screen i had passworld on it i need to do back up on itunes but i cannot because password needed
It sounds like it is too late to back up. Did you not think of that the first 16 times? It is probably no good anyway due to corrosion from the water all those times. Buy a new phone.
Cheers

My blackberry torch 9800 fell and now the screen is black. It fell again and came back on, now the screen turned red, then it went black and it is not coming on at all. please help!
Hey mirs81,
From your description the BlackBerry smartphone was damaged when it was dropped, I would suggest contacting your point of sale for warranty and repair options.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks.

Nothing I do will bring the screen back. Phone had around 30% charge and I'm charging it now but still nothing.
I've tried all the available buttons. It won't even show it turning on or off. There's a small hole in the side.... should I try putting a paperclip in there to reset it or is that not what it's for?
My husband just sent me a message and it hasn't come through.
Please help!the small hole in the side is the sim card. Don't touch it
Hold the home button, the round one on the bottom and the on/off one , on the top, together. Hold them till you see the apple logo. Let it reset. -
Please help me! I just want to know what can i do to make it work again, do I have to take it to an Apple store or something? btw i bought it like two years ago, so my guarantee is not valid anymore.

My Ipod Touch have a black screen when an app shut down and I can not shut down the Ipod. The screen is still black and I did the press two buttons solution and it doesn't work. What I have to do now?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes." -
Trying to start iCloud on iPad and app shuts down
I just finished installing ios5 on iPad and I launched the ICloud section in Settings. After entering Apple ID and password, the app shuts down. Any ideas on the solution to this problem.
ThanksRestart the iPad and then try again.
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.
If that doesn't work, quit Settings and all other apps, restart and try again.
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. -
Bug Report iOS 7 iTunes. Since it is repeatable on 3 iPhones and 4 iPads here, I'm sure others are experiencing the same thing. Apple, might want to take a peek at this. When a tv show or movie is deleted from Videos, the Videos app shuts down instead of returning to video playlist.
Restarting videos works and looks like video is getting deleted.
Just a bug reportYou might want to report that to Apple instead of to the other users in this forum.
