Anyone else having this issue? Worked great in snow leopard. Updated to 10.7.1

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).

I accidentally put my itouch 4th generation in the washer, so i took my itouch apart and dried it but now the screen is black but my itouch still makes a sound when i plug it in. what should i do?

so i accidentally washed my itouch and i took it apart and dried it but now the screen is black, i restored it but it still doesn't work but it makes a sound when i plug it in like it normally would. please help me

Yu can try the suggestions here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Was the restore successful?
If so I conclude thay the washing damaged something and servie is required. Ormaybe you damaged something when you took it apart/put it back together.

When i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black

when i double click a photo in iphoto to edit, the screen goes black. I'm using 10.7.5 with iPhoto 9.4.2. Can anyone help?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

My touchscreen blacks out while on a call so I can't multitask. If I am on a call and a new call comes in, I can't see who is calling or even think of answering because the screen is blacked out.

Thank you so very much! My husband is in Afghanistan and calls at different times. If I am on a call and can't answer him it could be days before I hear from him again. I never thought to just restart my phone! Duh...this is my first smartphone so I am learning. All day people were calling while I was on the phone but I couldn't answer. Thank GOD none of the calls were my husband because it would break my heart if I missed his call. Thank you again and GOD bless you! Ashley Combahee

Your iPod has dropped into Recovery mode. You'll need to restore it via iTunes on your computer.

My iPhone 4 is on but the screen is black and won't connect to iTunes. What do I do?

My iPhone 4 is in very good condition. But this morning i was on my phone and it froze. So i just put it down and waited for it to go back to normal. A few minutes later the screen went completely black. I though it just turned off so i pressed the home button but nothing happened. It was at about 80% battery so i knew it didn't die, but i tried plugging it in to see what would happen. My phone made the sound that it usually makes when I plug it into a charger but still the screen was blank. I tired to plug my phone into my mac to restart it in iTunes but it never connected. It only connected to iPhoto. I've tried holding down the lock and home button until the apple logo came on the screen but it never did. I don't know what to do. I know I should take it into the apple store but I want to try to get it to work at home instead of having to go all the way out there. Please if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!

If you have attempted the reset, which is holding the home button and sleep/wake button, was it still connected to the computer? Have you tried to do that when not connected. You stated it never came on, how long did you hold the buttons together? If you cannot get it to connect to iTunes then you would not be able to restore the device. You can see if you can put the device into Recovery Mode by following the instructions in this support document. If that does not work, then you are correct, make an appointment at the Apple Store. If you can't update or restore your iOS device

I have a 20" imac.
The right 1/4 of the swcreen is black. It measures about 2 inches all the way down the screen virtically. A;so about an inch to the left of that ther is a vertical line all the way down. The other portion of the screen looks fine.

Any ideas?

Sometimes After straightening and cropping 1/2 or 3/4 of the displayed image (from a Nikon RAW image) is blacked out! I am using version 2.1 of aperture. Apparently the file is fine and is straightened and cropped (I can see the full picture cropped and straightened in the browser), but the display isn't working when I double-click to open that picture. Frustrating. Any ideas/fixes? I have 2GB of RAM so memory shouldn't be a problem.

I know that you know this but straitening and cropping are supposed to black out the parts of your image that are cut off by the very nature of those operations. Assuming you are not really asking "hey why do the straiten and crop tools work like they are supposed to", some screen shots of what you are talking about would help get your question answered properly.

Imac 27" when i try to watch a dvd on front row the screen goes black.

is this supposed to happen and it stays black and nothing pops up i waited for like a minute and nothing happened so i just quit out of front row.

No that shouldn't happen. Part of the problem may be that you are still running 10.6.2, you should run Software Update (is under the  in the upper left of your screen) and bring it up to 10.6.5. To update correctly do a backup first! I'm not kidding, backup first! To update quickly though use the Combo Updater located here. Also if you haven't you should run Repair Disk Permissions (Applications, Utilities, Disk Utility) and finally it probably would help you to do both a SMC and PRAM reset. Finally if you are in the habit of turning off the computer when you're done for the day you should leave it on 24/7 as Apple suggests in your owners manual, it only needs to sleep when inactive.
Directions for SMC & PRAM resets are:
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

When I close my Macbook Pro and re open it, the screen stays black, HELP.

The only way I can get it back is by holding down the power button and then it restarts and works fine!
Ever so annoying!! Also worrying! Thank you!

HT1430 my iphone 4s screen randomly went black and the phone still works like when i screenshot things etc, but the screen is black and i cant see aything.

I tried to hold the lock and home button together and nothing happened. I also got told taking the battery out may make it work, so i tried that too, but the screen is still staying black. What do i do?

Try and fix it yourself now. Since you opened it up to remove the battery, you have voided all possability of support from Apple. They will not even offer you an out of warranty replacement now.
Sorry, but other than looking at places like www.ifixit.com and trying to trouble shoot it yourself, you could take it to some shop (there are no Apple authorized iOS device repair centers) and pay to have them try and fix it. Or just buy yourself a new phone.

The screen to my iPhone 4 went completely black. Ive tried turning it on and off, plugging it in, restoring it from my iTunes but the screen stays black. It connects to iTunes and when i plug it in, it vibrates like I have a text.

Why does the screen turn black? I was using it normally and it all of a sudden faded to black and hasnt come back on since yesterday. You can see the back light but no image on the screen. Ive plugged it in and it vibrates that its connected but still the screen stays black. I left it alone while I slept and tried again in the morning but still nothing.

So weird mine is doing the same thing. I didnt drop it or anything. I was texting and it suddenly went white and then turned black. It says its plugged into itunes but the screen comntinues to stay black.

I can't log into my YouTube account and each time I try the screen turns black, says "connection not trusted" and doesn't allow me the option to add exception like it normally does when I recieve this message trying to log into a website.

I just got new ATT dsl internet service. Now, when I try and log into my YouTube account and numerous other websites, instead of logging me in, the screen turns black with a message displayed saying, "connection not trusted." On most sites, it will give me the option to either, "get me out of here" or "I understand the risks, allow exception." When I try logging into YouTube, the only option I have is; "get me out of here!"
