HT1338 Help my screen won't work!

I just updated my MacBook Mountain Lion software to the newest setting. But when it finished downloading my computer screen will not turn back on! Please help? I've tried plugging it in and turning it off and on but niether methods have worked.

Did the trick! Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!! I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen. This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store. Many thanks.

Help. Screen won't work while charging directly through a wall socket

I need help. 3 months ago I bought an iPod Touch 5th Generation and was surprised it didn't have an adapter with it. So I've been charging through my pc since. Yesterday I bought a 10W USB Adapter and tried it out. It was charging but the thing is, when I started using the iPod while it was charging, the screen isn't that sensitive anymore. It would click on itself, sometimes it won't even work. I don't know what I should do. I spent a lot on this adapter I don't want it to be a waste. And also, would it be okay if I keep using this adapter, even if it means I can't use my ipod while charging, would it have any effect on my ipod in the long run? thanks so much guys in advance for your replies. Much appreciated.

IPod screen won't work?

Seems like you have a bad connection or you broke a conductor in a ribbon cable. Or maybe a bad digitizer. ir logic board.

Satellite A300 - screen won't work sometimes

Ok so first of all I want to start by telling you that I am a complete noob when it comes to computers, and also my native language is not english, but i'll try my best to make you understand my problem.
Sometimes, when I try to turn on my laptop, the screen won't work. I hear the fan running, those little lights on the keyboard light up, but the screen just remains black...this happened for like 3 days until today, I got home and it magically worked. This same thing happened like a month ago...what is going on? :s

On this virtual way it is not easy to offer exact diagnostic.
What we can do here is nothing but speculation about possible reasons.
A300 is not the newest model so there can be some problem with connection between mainboard and the display.
Next time when this happen, try to move display or press gently the notebook below the display just to see if this will help or not.
At the end I must say that only service can help you with this. With other words they can disassemble the notebook and check the display cable.

HT201406 IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even powe

IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

I drop my iPod on the floor and now I only can use the home and power button and the screen won't work

Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...
Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement.

Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes.
- If itunes does not see the iPod, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restire it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Help please - GB won't work - Midi driver conflict with Snow Leopard

I use Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro. Ever since I upgraded to this version GarageBand won't work. When I try to launch it I get 3 or 4 pop up screens saying GB has detected software midi conflicts please update your midi drivers. If I click through these and wait for 3 or 4 minutes, GB does open but it takes ages to change anything and it shows there is no Core Audio. It also won't 'Play' an already recorded track and there is no sound for anything.   I have several plugins Including Line 6 Podfarm, and the midi drivers for Melodyne and record through an old Tascam US122 with midi.
One driver for the Podfarm was automatically put in an incompatibel Software folder when I upgraded. I put this file in Trash and updated my Podfarm drivers but it's made no difference.
In GB Preferences it shows the Tascam US122 as my recording/playback and my midi device, but also 'no midi device detected' even though it is connected.   There are no driver updates for this old Tascam model.
Everything still works perfectly in Melodyne. How can I find out which driver(s) are involved in the conflict for GB? I have no guarantee that even if I buy a new Tascam interface, or any other brand, that GB will work, even then.
Is there a way to identify which driver, or drivers, are the problem? Surely that is not beyond what a MacBook Pro can do?

I should have mentioned I use GarageBand 2009. I've read other posts all over the web where people have trouble with this Tascam US122 but with the older Leopard versions. I had no problem with ordinary Leopard 10.5.6 - it's only since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and it's only in GB.
I've tried a powered hub which has helped others, but doesn't help with my problem.
I reallly only want to know which driver/drivers are the problem.
Then I can work out a solution, even if it means buying a new interface. So long as I can't identify what the problem is, I'm not prepared to buy new equipment that might make no difference at all.

My iPad screen won't work

I have an iPad 2 and recently it has stopped working all of a sudden. When i press the power button on my iPad, it turns on but it is just a blank screen and when i turn it off it flashes white. Sometimes when i turn it on my wallpaper flashes on the screen for a split second but goes right back to the blank screen so i know that the screen isn't broken. I have tried charging it, holding down the power button to shut it down completely and I've tried holding down both the power button and the home button, nothing works. When i try to sync it to iTunes it asks me to type my passcode in on the iPad but i can't because it won't work.
Any ideas?

Hello Nathan_J_M,
Thank you for choosing Apple Support Communities. i am very pleased to help you.
Reset to factory settings via recovery mode
So, what you'll have to do is enter recovery mode and fully reset your iPad. Yes, you will lose all your data, but it's better than buying an iPad and wasting a hog lots of money pit. If you have a backup, it will be great.
Entering recovery mode:
Force your iPad to shut down. Press and hold on both power button and home button at the same time until your iPad turns off. Now, follow my steps:
•1: Get your PC/Mac ready
•2: On that PC/Mac, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes
•3: Connect the large end of the charger in the computer, but not the small end. (Connect this end to the computer:)
•4: Open iTunes on your PC/Mac
•5: Now that you're on iTunes, get the small side of the cable (the one to connect to the iPad with) and get ready
•6: Press the home button on your iPad, while your pressing the home button, plug in the other small part of the iPad quickly to your iPad. Keep pressing the home button to your iPad until you see this:
You are now in recovery mode. Restore your iDevice to factory settings. If you have a backup, restore your iPad from that backup or you'll lose everything on that device. Sadly, if you don't have a backup, everything will be gone, that includes photos, apps, contacts, etc.

Regards,
Ab
