    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipad screen goes black with white letters

    what is the problem? start reading in book and screen suddenly go to black back ground and white letters

    If you open an ibook and tap the AA button towards the top right of the screen what options do you have set ? You should get theme options : white (black text on white background), sepia (black on brown) and night (white on black) - and possibly an 'auto-night theme' option (that might not show on all ibooks) which will automatically change to white on black e.g.
    If 'auto-night' is 'on' then turn it 'off'

  • My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up.

    When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color.  It was kind of acting up a last week or so.  When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds.  I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net.  Any ideas?  I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

    could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
    can you check if the issue persists on external display?
    also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

    Hi,
    Have you installed programs or moved any documents? If this is a brand new computer a Recovery might be the easiest solution.

  • Why is the toolbar in safari now black with white text after upgrading ipad 2 to ios7?

    My (retired) mum downloaded ios7 onto her ipad 2 yesterday but is now complaining that when she launchez Safari and uses google, the toolbar at the top of the screen is black with white text. She remembers something popping up during upgrade in the left of her screen about Privacy (?) which she clicked. Is there any way to return the tool/menu bar to its standard white with black text? Thanks.

    Tap the blue + sign in the upper right part of the toolbar. That will open a new tab with Favorites on the screen, if she has favorites in Safari. In the lower left corner she will see the word Private. Tap that to return to normal viewing mode again.

    Now that you mentioned it, that might be the source of the problem. Something was definitely wrong with my graphics card before the incident happened. You mean that particular batch of graphics cards had some inherent issues, right? I went to the genius bar, and the 'genius' there, without trying to diagnose the problem properly, just adviced me to buy a new mbp! He said Apple will no longer try to fix or touch macs older than 5 yrs. Mine is 5.5 yrs old...

  • What does it mean when my Ipod Touch (3rd gen.) screen is black with a loading circle?

    My 3rd generation Ipod Touch is currently broken, I'm not sure. The screen is black with a loading circle that has been loading since yesterday. The device won't shut off nor has it run out of battery yet. Any clues?

    have u tried restarting it yet? hold both home and power button for at least ten seconds... or it could be just in the process of shutting down (not going to sleep mode but actually turning off) and is taking a while to process everything???

    The following is how to do a proper reset of an iDevice:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Weird parts of screen and icons turning black with white bands?

    So I've been getting these weird flashes on my screen, mostly when using the internet, but also sometimes icons appear similar to the flashes as pictured below... it should be the calculator app icon but instead it's black with white streaks.
    Or here's the link for a better view:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4ldthLn49zAmGLhSypdgog?feat=directlink
    I see it mostly when loading a page on the internet... for a split second the whole frame turns black with white horizontal streaks. I tried to get a screen capture of it but it happens too fast. The whole monitor doesn't turn black, just the window I'm using.
    I did a little research and think it might be screen artifacts and maybe my graphics card is going bad... but can someone confirm or deny this? Does it sound like something else? It seems to be getting worse... so I want to get it taken care of.
    Any help would be great.
    Here's my graphics card info... *i think*
    GeForce FX 5200:
    Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 64 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0321
    Revision ID: 0x00a2
    ROM Revision: 2060

    Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test.
    It sounds like the Video card, but you might also Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

  • 4s screen went black with the apple logo when i opened a text?

    went to open a text last night and then the screen went black with the Apple logo, but within seconds the main screen came back and the phone worked normally. Do i have a problem? It's only 4 months old so i hope its not on its way out already.
    Any help would be appricated.

    Reset your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up, you wont lose anything. If it continues to do it after that, then do a restore of your phone in itunes.

    A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
    On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
    Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China
