  • IPOD touch Screen is blacked out. I charges and itunes recognizes it, only the screen remains black. Is there any way to fix this Problem. I have the latest software update and I restored it several times, but screen remains blacked out.

    My IPOD touch 4th gen screen does not display.  The software seems to be working and itunes recognizes the device.  I have restored it and reset the IPOD several times but the screen is still black.  What can I do to fix it? your help is very much appreciated. I do not have access to an apple store since I am stationed in Afghanistan. 

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

  • Laptop starts up but screen is black(does​n't happen all the time) PLEASE HELP

    I own a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5966. It's 4 years old and for the most part I haven't had any problems up until recently. The first problem was it started to say "battery not detected" and saying my battery was in poor health and to replace it. Well I did replace it but it still continues to say not detected, but that is the least of my worries. I will say my AC adapter isn't the original as I had to replace that about 2 years ago.
    One day while using my laptop, the screen just went completely black. I turned it off and tried to turn it on and nothing. Looked up some stuff on Google which said to clean out the dust, which I did. I also took the battery out and held down the power for 60 seconds. Well after doing that it seemed to work fine until the screen went black again. I did it again and it seemed to work. But sometimes when I turn the computer off, and try to turn it on, I can here it come on but screen stays black. If I wait a while it will work though.
    Well it keeps doing this on and off. Other issues I have had is 2 times a blue screen came up. Once it was too quick to read but another I did have a chance to read it and it said something about "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH." Also about 2-3 time I've gotten a screen that said "Interactive Services Detection- The program is no longer requesting attention...." while online but I can always hit "return now" and everything is good. And then recently when I went to turn my laptop on a screen came up saying "Windows loading screen" but it froze up and never loaded anything so I had to hit the power button to restart.
    I know it's not good to hit the power button to restart but it's the only way I can get it to turn off because whenever the screen is black or on the blue screen, the keyboard doesn't work at all. I would like to mention sometimes I have to restart because the keyboard will freeze up and nothing will work. The keyboard is brand new, I just recently replaced it but I know I installed it correctly. Everything else is also correctly in place as well.
    I've ran anti-virus and malware scanners both in safe mode and not. Everything says it's good and shows no viruses or anything. I also did a memory diagnostics and it too came back good. I didn once mess with the toshiba diagnostics and it said my harddrive failed but I read on Google that the Toshiba diagnostics tool isn't reliable and many get a harddrive failure when it's not the case.
    I would really like to know what could be wrong with my laptop. I haven't took it anywhere to be looked at because I don't want to pay $50 to find out it will cost $300 to fix. I'd much rather see if I can find out what's wrong online before having to take it anywhere.

    I have a L675d-s7100 that lost a harddrive. Since it crashed I had no restore. So blew 40 bucks on disc from toshiba.
    New Drive installed. disc get here. reset to day via disc. Started up ran good for about 3 days. BLUE screen.... reboot all was good. Then it started to happen more often..  Now about a Month later. The display will just go black. you have to let it set hours with battery out and power cord off. reboot all is good. NOW display won't come on. hit power it clicks and fan comes on and nothing.  Hooked up to ext  did the FN F5 and still nothing. I put the olg drive back in. it would at least light the screen. Nothing..  Anybody have any ideas???
    Thanks all...

    In the future if you could, just start your own thread just to make things easier to keep track of.  If you did and didn't get a reply (wait at least a few days), then you can bump so it goes back to the top.  OK, sermon over
    When you get a blue screen, what was the error message.  One of the first things I do when I get a computer is go into the settings and disable the restart on system failure so it doesn't go into a boot loop and I can read the error message.  I don't know why that is set that way on default.
    If you hooked up the computer to an external display and still not getting anything, then it suggests its not a bad display. 
    Can you get into the bios?  Can you access the recovery partition?  If you have another working computer available, can you connect your new and/or old drive and do a diagnostics on to see if there are any errors?  Besides the new hard drive, have you done anything else to the computer like upgrade ram, etc?  You can also try and reseat the ram. 
    If you can get to the recovery partition, you can try a system repair.  Of course this will only work if the problem is software.  If it is a hardware issue, you have to try and isolate it (i.e., drive, ram, battery, etc.).

  • My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black.

    My macbook pro will turn on but screen stays black. There is no sound on start up and keys dont light up. I have done all the resets:
    I disconnected the computer from the power cord, and from all other cables.
    I held down the power button for several seconds to turn off the computer.
    I let it sit 5 minutes.
    I restarted the laptop while holding down the Shift key and nothing happened.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379The only thing I haven’t tried is “floating” the computer. I’m not ready to heat it up to the melting point.
    I need lots of help!!! any ideas? Its a MacBook Pro 15” or 17.5” about 5 years old. Its about 2 updates behind (OS: Snow Leopard)

    Zane W is giving you good advice.  Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have them examine it for free.  You then will know what the issues are and then can make informed decisions.
    Ciao.

  • Imac turns on but screen stays black ?

    imac turns on but screen stays black ? i can hear it operating ...

    Hope this helps:
    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a

    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • I work on a mac but occasionally I have to work on a PC.  Can I connect my PC to my mac so I don't have to use 2 different monitors

    I work on a mac but occasionally I have to work on a PC.  Can I connect my PC to my mac so I don't have to use 2 different monitors?

    Put the monitor on a KVM.  Might be able to do a wired mouse and keyboard as well.  KVM = keyboard, video, monitor switch.
    Connect the common monitor to the KVM out and each machine's video to KVM's in.  Then you switch the monitor so it is connected to the machine you want to currently use.
    The tricky part is finding an appropriate KVM to handle the video connections for the two machines and monitor.  No guarantees there.  Many current KVM's have USB connections so there is less potential hastle with mice and keboards.  But monitors use dvi, (mini-)displayport, vga, and hdmi.  And you may need adapters/converters.  So finding a appropriate KVM may be the hard part.
