  • How can i fix black screen imac27?

    hello
    please help me,
    my imac 27 display is dark after start up, i can hear sounds but dark display..
    this happend after shipping it.
    computer from america,and now i try to use it in europe..

    Hey there arpadm,
    It sounds like your screen is black, but you can otherwise tell the computer is on. I recommend these steps from the following article named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

    how to fix black screen. Phone still rings.

    Hello TaQuilla,
    If nothing ever shows on the screen when you start it, or anything you may need to reset the phone, or restore the software. Try this first:
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that does not get the screen going, then backup your device, and restore it.

  • HT4061 how to fix black screen on iphone 5

    how to fix black screen on iphone 5 , can someone answer me , please !?

    To solve most of iPhone os problems you can perform a soft reset which will not change anything inside the phone
    It'll simply remove the errors
    To do that
    1.Hold power button for 5 seconds
    2.without releasing power button press home button and keep both pressed till the apple logo comes up
    3.Now release both buttons
    Your phone has now been reset

  • HT3743 how do i fix the screen of death on my ipod.....please helpm asap..........my sister is going to kill me

    how do i fix the screen of death on my ipod

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do i stop black screen from media playback

    how do i stop black screen from media playback?

    You mean. as in when you put the phone on your face when you are talking?
    It goes dark so you will not open apps are press other controls while the phone is pressed to your face.
    Don't be rediculous.

  • Fixed black screen on boot, passwords not working now

    After fixing black screen on boot with the advice provided by the great community.  (Here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 9#p1501989 )
    I followed the method outlined in the post I reference.  Booting from live USB, mounting my root home and usr partitions, arch-chrooting into the root partition and then setting modeset=0 in radeon.conf and putting radeon in MODULES in mkinitcpio.conf then running mkinitcpio -p linux.  Afterwards I exited the chroot and unmounted all partitions.
    This fixed the blank screen, but all of my passwords are changed.  The root and my user account passwords don't work.  So again I booted into hot usb, mounted partitions, arch-chrooted in, and ran passwd to change root pw and then su to get to my user account to run sudo passwd.  After doing so, I exit the chroot and try to unmount the partitions.  I can unmount /dev/sda2 (home) but no sda1 (root) or sda3 (usr). It says: cannot umount /mnt/arch target is busy or cannot umount /mnt/arch/usr target is busy.  It suggest lsof(8) or fuser(1) but either I use them wrong or they don't help.  If I just reboot at this point my passwords still don't work.  Why can I not unmount usr or root partitions?  It says they're busy but ps -ax shows nothing.  Any ideas?  If more info is needed I will promptly supply it, I want to get my arch box up and running again asap
    Take care fellow archers

    Forgot to mention when I boot into Arch normally, it does systemd-fsck on all the partitions they all pass but after checking /dev/sda2 (home) it freezes.  The messages displayed are:
    running hook [udev]
    Triggering uevents
    performing  fsck on /dev/sda1 /dev/sda1 clean xxxx/xxxx files, xxxx/xxxx blocks
    mounting /dev/sda1 on real root
    running late hook [usr]
    mounting /dev/sda3 on /usr
    running cleanup hook [shutdown]
    running cleanup hook [udev]
    Welcome to Arch Linux!
    kvm: disabled by bios
    systemd-fsck[252]: /dev/sda2 clean, xxxx/xxxx files, xxxx/xxxx blocks
    and it freezes here if I switch TTY's none of my passwords work.
    Thanks in advance

  • How to fix black screen hard freeze MBP 2010?

    My 2010 MBP has a lock up issue, at random times the screen goes to black, if there was sound playing it gets stuck in a loop and the keyboard lights stay on.  Nothing works, and the only way out is to do a hard boot by pressing the power button.  This is random, at anytime doing anything, I could just have one safari window open or one firefox window open.  The only way that I can recreate the problem is by using iDVD, it will crash as soon as I have a movie ready and press the burn button.  Anyone have any ideas?  I have already tried resetting the SMC and nothing.  The problem will always comes back. Please someone help, I am falling behind at school because of this!  Thanks!

    Welcome to the crowd.  This problem is so wide spread, I am surprised that Apple can not fix this problem,
    or if they are please inform you tech support at your Apple stores. They seem to be clueless. 
    I have worked with Apple computers since 1985 and have never seen anything this bad.
    So I do not have any ideas of how you can fix this.  I am like you, I can't afford to take my computer in and leave it for several days.  So as you say, we live with it the best we can.  I have come to a point that I am saving
    my files every few minutes.  Really effects the creative part of what we do as a New Media development company.  I hope someone out there has cracked this problem.   I am going to call my Apple Care support today,
    and put the challenge out to them.  The key is to document this problem if you do have a warranty that is still in force and Apple Care.  Its hard to imagine that I have an old Macbook Pro that is more dependle than this 1 year old Macbook Pro.   I hope more people get on this issue and voice their concerns and solutions.
    Take care,

  • How to fix black screen on your iPod touch?

    My ipod touch, wont show anything. it just a black screen. I held the home button, and it tells me that i need to connect to the internet, but still have a black screen.
    the day before i notice my ipod went to a blue screen and then shut off.
    i tried reseting it on my intune, but it didnt do anything.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • How do i fix my screen?

    how do i fix my ipod touch 4 g ios  screen?

    I've been having problems with my Ipod fo rmonths now. It just stopped on day and isn't responsive. The screen is black and when I press the home/start buttons nothing happens. Only the Voice Over comes on and says 'Ipod Touch Image'. I don't know what's wrong.
    I tried updating the software and restoring. But the restoring doesn't work. I may just have to buy a new one, but didn't want to. Maybe I should call tech support as well.

  • Thunderbolt Firmware 1.1 will not update from 1.0.9 to fix Black screen problem

    Can't install the firmware 1.1 fix for black screen problem. I get the following:  Has anyone solved how to get around this?

    Restoring often solves these problems - sometimes requiring as a new phone. The settings a sometimes data get currupted during update. If you go back in the archives of this forum, you find the same problems reported after EVERY update since the original iPhone was released.
    Note that if you "modified", unlocked or hacked your phone in any way - a reason many stayed on 3.0.1 - updating USUALLY does theses things, if not completely bricking the phone.
