Blank screen on Apple Cinema HD 30"

Am trying to install SL on latest model of Mac mini running an Apple Cinema HD 30" display. At start of install SL indicated 45 min. install, soon after the horizontal install bar indicated 1 hr 6 min install time. After returning to Mac mini after 45 minutes Cinema display is black and pressing on space bar or mouse does not wake the display. Without any display information I am completely clueless as to whether SL install is in progress completed or ???? Started from Mac OS X 10.5.8. Any suggestions appreciated

In continuing my research on this topic, I found this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5198
Short version, the 23" Cinema HD is among one of several older "vintage" Apple displays that are no longer supported under Mavericks. No brightness control, and it's likely to not work reliably at all. I can't say why I was able to use it for as long as I did with no problems. I take all this to mean that the display itself works fine, but not with my new MBP Retina.
Though a tempting excuse to spend another grand on a 27" Apple Thunderbolt display, I opted for a $250 HDMI monitor from Fry's instead.

    You repeat yourself frequently frequently.  Perhaps your iPhone is not charged.

  • This morning phone had blank screen and apple logo only  had to do a soft reset

    His morning my iPhone 4S had a blank screen with the apple logo and was beeping.  could not turn it off or on.  Pressed the on/off and other button on lower front and did a reset.  Now it cannot connect to my PC.  PC  cannot find the driver for my iPhone.

    Hello there linda,
    It sounds like you are not able to turn on your phone after your phone was behaving unexpectedly. I recommend resetting the phone in the same manner you had tried before, but rather than pressing them and letting them go, hold them down as outlined in the following article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists, I would next recommend putting the device into recovery mode, and then restoring the device with iTunes on your computer:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If you are not able to do so and continue to get an error about the driver, you should uninstall and then reinstall iTunes on your PC with either of these articles depending on your version of Windows:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows XP
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Blank screen on Apple tv with Keynote slideshow

    Today I couldn't get to play my presentation in slideshow mode neither on Keynote nor on PowerPoint app From my iPad Air through Apple TV. Slides are visible until you switch to slideshow. Then everything disappears and you see just a black screen. The only solution I could find was play through OneDrive in the browser. You get it on a smaller scale but at least I could use all the animations.
    Any ideas?

    I Had a similar experience, powerpoint app, keynote, imovie all blank when presenting. Even though ATV and ipad had latest updates.Did a hard reset, hold home button and off button down until you see a black screen and apple logo, of my ipad and all fine now.

  • I reset settings. Now has blank screen with Apple . How do I get to load?

    I Hit reset setting on mini iPad to see if would help programs from going out. Now. all I have is a black screen with Apple  showing with white line below it. Doesn't like trying to open. haven't got it to do updates either. Can anyone advise me on how to get to get ipad restarted again?

    Try this. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Blank screen flashing apple logo

    My iPhone 5 suddenly no repsonse but blank scree. Flashing apple logo when plug in power.

    If still problem see the remainit actions of:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • Blank Screen With Apple Logo Problem

    While watching a movie  (.AVI, ~400MB, Normal Resolution) with OPlayer,
    i got a black screen with the apple logo.
    I pressed the round button on my ipad2 several times.
    After 30-40 second i saw my "desktop" (not to the oplayer).
    This happened 2 times.
    Any idea????
    Thanks.

    Try restarting your device or do a hard reset ie hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears — a restart is always the first option if anything goes wrong.

  • Apple logo, blank screen loop

    My phone is in an endless loop where it shows the apple logo then blank screen then apple logo, blank screen. I can only do this with it on the charger, it is a brick without it being on the charger. I am able to go into recovery mode but it has been awhile since I've backed up my phone, any ideas?

    Reinstall Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Running an Alarm app (now removed) when I noticed my phone alternating between a blank screen & my passcode screen. Powering off and the hard shutdown did not resolve problem. Plugged in headset, phone works normal. Remove headset problem returns.

    iPhone 4 - - I was trying out the Alarm 4 free app.  I set the alarm for 2 minutes into the future for a test.  After one minute my phone naturally went to auto-lock and into sleep mode.  At approximately the time the alarm should have activated I noticed my iPhone 4 alternating between a blank screen with the apple logo to the passcode screen.  The passcode screen is only visible for a short moment so I am unable to attempt to input my passcode.
    I tride a normal shutdown and the "hard" shutdown.  The shutdowns work OK but when the phone comes back up it returns to the blank screen with apple logo & passcode screen loop.
    The interesting part - - I plugged in a headset and the phone works normal!  Unplug the headset and the phone returns to the "loop".
    BTW - yes I did remove the Alarm 4 application!
    I also turned off the auto-lock feature.  With the auto-lock off the phone loops between the blank w/apple logo screen and my home/slide-to-unlock page.
    So - - - as long as I leave the headset plugged in the phone works normal.  If I remove the headset my phone reverts back to the "loop".
    Any ideas?

    As a matter of fact I DID get my phone to work.  "Google" the term "recovery mode for iphones".
    You'll find lots of hits.
    Here is an example -
    http://www.tipb.com/2009/01/29/iphone-101-put-iphone-recovery-mode/
    There are a few different explanations throughout the Google-world.  Some are better explained than others.
    Bottomline - it worked!!!!
    Be advised the Recovery Mode is truly a last ditch effort.  In essence you will completely wipe your phone of everything and "recover" it to straight-out-of-the-box.  Be warned!
    Good luck!
