Brightness has gone on iphone
I have lost brightness adjustment - can hardly see screen. Have reset phone and looked at brightness settings
Just an update on what the problem was. The docking at the bottom of the iPhone 4s wasn't connecting properly which was causing the sound to not function properly externally.
The Genius showed me with a torch that it had gone green through wear and tear of docking inside and that sound would only work if 'mated' to the male connection. I'd had the phone 20 months since the 4s's launch. I didn't have an extended warranty but it wouldn't have been covered anyway. He offered me a new 4s for a substantially reduced price so I took him up on his offer.

Brightness controls gone mad with lastest -Syu
Hello.
I have an ASUS M51VA with an ATI HD3650.
Recently, when I updated my system it installed latest gnome and kernel packages.
After that I lost control of the brightness FN keys, which I previously used with the help of lapsus and worst of all, the brightness has gone crazy! It keeps blinking, slowly increasing or decreasing, then it stays stable for some time but then it get all crazy again.
Right now I can barely see what I'm typing, but when I started this post it was blinking.
Here's the pacman log:
http://www.pastebin.ca/1620546 (please consider the update at 13:XX, after that I tried other graphics drivers).My problems started when I restarted right after the update.
I'm afraid it might damage the backlighting system because it's always changing the brightness level.
This doesn't seem good for the eyes and less for the screen.
Does anyone at least can help me on how to make it brighter?
I used lapsus, but it's no longer working. I already tried changing lapsus settings through dbus, but with no luck.
$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness
levels: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
current: 1
It's always on 1, even when the screen is at the highest brightness level.
# xbacklight -inc 25%
No outputs have backlight property
# echo "10" > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
Does nothing.
Also tried to add "acpi_backlight=vendor" in the end of the kernel line, but didn't make any difference.
Here I have a small video capturing the center of the screen. That's not me playing with the controls or the camera ajusting to lightning conditions, it's the backlight goofing me around!!!

my iphone 4 screen has gone blank and its still on it vibrates when i put it on charge ive tried turning it off and the screen is still not showing anything please help
Hi Ellen,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Take care,

Both my iPad and iPhone have ios8
On either device in Calendars> edit >shared with> add person when I enter an email address and press add nothing happens - just goes back to edit screen and what I have entered has gone. No error message or any clue about why I cant share my calendar. Please help.UDPATE:
Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated. Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi). Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in iCloud. Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync. Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
BOTTOM LINE workaround:
1. Backup contacts
2. Delete contacts in iCloud
3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented. This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution. -

I am getting error (-1) while updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1. The phone has gone into a recovery mode. Restore fails every time at "restoring the firmware" stage. Striped bar remains for a long time, then shows "error (-1)" and the restore fails. I have been doing it for last 12 hours. Help!
Thanks for your reply Michalo. I am in India and here Apple care does not work on Sundays. I have been without my phone for the entire day. Perhaps tomorrow will bring some respite. There is not solution to "error (-1)" on any forum it seems. I found one forum which suggested use of Tiny Umbrella. Any idea about that?

My new macbook pro has gone black on me three days in a row. is this a chronic problem?
The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.Try a SMC reset:

Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
