Black lock screen

Just bought two new iPod Touches - one works fine and the other continuously has a black lock screen (and by default settings screen appears a lot darker).
Have tried reset all content and settings from within the iPod and a restore (to 4.3.3) via iTunes and still black lock screen.
Anyone have any ideas?
Cheers - Simon

just to clarify, I'd appreciate any info on how I can get the computer to start displaying my background photo on the lock screen again.

  • Black lock screen background

    I recently installed CAC root certificates on my mac to enable my smart card to work with .mil websites. Since then, my mavericks lock screen no longer displays my background wallpaper, just a black screen with the username and password prompt.

  • GNOME 3.2.2 black lock screen

    Ok I'm on a fully upgraded Gnome 3.2.2 arch system.
    If I lock the screen and walk away then come back I don't get the login prompt with my profile pic coming up anymore.
    The screen is blank most the time, sometimes it comes up with the time on the top of the screen, but still no login prompt. It would otherwise usually be there, say if I lock the screen, then immediately move the mouse.
    Could it have to do with the auto sleep time? It still doesn't work properley, it's driving me nuts, when it happens I've got to put my password in like 5 times and hope that it will work blindly

    Here's the card:

  • How to remove the animation on the black lock screen?

    A friend installed a little app/widget without my permission that plays an animation when the screen is off. Of course, it is hard to see, but I'd like to know where I can delete it.

  • Lock Screen Wallpaper black only

    I looked for an answer here sorry if I missed it.
    I have a new phone (no desire to jailbreak). I found that once I changed the lock screen (very first one with slide lever), it never displayed anything but black after that. I restored the phone to factory new phone (without my photos or settings). The raindrops wallpaper came back to the lock screen. Like new!!
    So I synched only a half dozen wallpapers and set one, lock screen goes black. I set wallpaper manually back to raindrops and remove my downloaded wallpapers. Rebooted phone...still no change and black lock screen back, raindrops displays in thumbnail but (first) lockscreen is black.
    What is it about changing the lockscreen that is making it black only from then on.

    Thank you for posting this. I thought I was going nuts.
    I had my iPhone plugged in to charge in my car,
    and could see only the black background in lock-
    screen. Unplugged it and photo reappeared!

  • My iphone 4s' screen is black, but it's still on and charging. I broke my lock screen button so I am unable to turn it off using the home button and lock button. Is there any other way my phone can restart or turn off ? Is my phone broken for sure?

    Most intelligent people would not store such sensitive data on a device that could so easily be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Even if they chose to do so, they would use the device as designed and regularly sync and backup that device as described in the User's Guide.
    Have you done so?  If you have, all of the data is either in iCloud or iTunes on your computer.  Replace the device and restore the new iDevice with the backup of the old one.

  • When i press the on/off my ipod show me the lock screen only half second and goes black.

    When i press the on/off my ipod show me the lock screen only half second and goes black.
    I try again and works normally. Sometimes do that.
    What Happens?

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will belost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Black bar on bottom of iPhone 5 lock screen

    There is a black bar at the bottom of my iphone 5 lock screen, is this supposed to be there? Is enyone else having this problem?  The top image is what shows
    when I set the lock screen picture, and the bottom is what the actual lock screen looks like.  Is there any way to fix this?

    nevermind, im just dumb, for some reason the wallpaper would move up from where i originally had it selected, moving the image down lower on the choose wallpaper screen fixed it.

  • Okay my phone was working just fine and I locked it and went to unlock it and now it just sits on the black screen it wont even show the lock screen I dont know what to do but I am very careful with my phone anyone know how to fix it? Plz and thank you!

    Okay my phone was working just fine and I went to unlock it and it wont show the lock screen it just remains black please if anyone can help me fix it it will be much appreciated, I am very careful with my phone so I dont know why its acting like this.

    I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and  friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

  • HT1430: ipad goes black after lock screen

    When the ipad goes on the lock screen and i slide to unlock it, the whole screen goes black and will only display the time, battery and signal sign, i pressed the home button but it just gets rid ov the things that were being displayed the only way i can make this go away is if i lock my screen  and sliding the unlock button again. Is there something wrong with my ipad or is it a programme ??

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

    Please suggest a solution or @Apple please get a software release which can remove this bug .

    We aren't Apple, just users like you. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
