Black Pwr off/on Cancel/ Accept screen?

Turned my phone off and then back on this morning. After about 30 seconds on the home screen I got an all black screen with "Pwr off/on" at the top and cancel accept buttons on the bottom. I ignored and it went back to the home screen. Anyone seen this? What is it?

That message does come up sometimes - usually when you first activate the phone. I think it has something to do with registering itself to the network. That will also happen if AT&T makes a change to a tower and you're on it, the same message will pop up.
Funny enough, if you hit the Accept button, nothing happens. I expected the phone to restart on its own, but it didn't. I ended up just manually powering it off and back on again.

  • Message on iPhone 3GS screen  Pwr off/on;  Cancel / Accept

    I manage my business's AT&T account and iPhones. One of my users had his phone go off the 3G network sometime over the weekend. I called AT&T and had them re-send the signal to the phone. I shut the phone off, turned it back on and it seemed to be working fine - accepting email over 3G network, etc.
    About two minutes after it started working fine, the phone popped up a message with a black screen that said, simply, "Pwr off/on" At the bottom of the screen were the [red] and [green] Cancel or Accept options. I chose Accept and the phone remained powered on and working fine. I have never seen this message before (and have been working with iPhones since they first came out) and was curious if anyone else has seen the message and knows what it means and/or why I got it. Thanks!

    Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.

  • TA44551 Just recently my ipod nano's battery seemed to stop working? I plug it into a charger, the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What's going on? How can I fix it?

    Just recently my ipod nano 4th generation's battery seems to be messed up? I plug it into the charger and the ipod says it's charged, but when I take it off the charger, the screen goes black. What is going on and how can I fix it? I'm really sad because it happened so suddenly.

    Yes.  The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement.  This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

    You can Google "iPod battery replacement" for third party service centers.

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off. I recharged and reset. What else should I do?

    My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off.
    It disappears when turned on. It must mean something. I recharged and reset. What else, if anything, should I do?

    You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • My ipad gets a black bar over part of the screen then freezes up, please help

  • The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

    The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

    Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

  • How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11

    How do I get black side bars on a full screen photo in iPhoto 11. It was black in iPhoto 09 and now it's a murky grey. I'm not talking about events or photo view where it's in preferences only full screen photo. Thanks

    Go into iPhoto's Appearance preference pane and move the Background slider all the way to the left - black.

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.
