HT1414 Screen is black, but phone is on.  Restore did not work.

Help!    After downloading io7 the screen on my phone goes black even though it is still on and I can hear messages coming in.    I did a system restore on it, but that has not resolved the problem.  

    FrustratedwApple we'll get you back up and running! Are there any changes when the device is connected to the charger? What type of reset did you try?

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

  • HT1766 I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work

    I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!!  HELP!  iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

    If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
    I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

    Greetings jupiejupie,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPad is sporadically becoming unresponsive and the screen is turning black. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the suggested steps in the attached article.

  • Help! Dropped phone, screen is black but phone still works...

    I dropped my iPhone 4S today and the screen went black (thankfully it didn't shatter), but the phone still works perfectly fine. I can still touch it and everything; unfortunately I obviously can't see what I'm doing because it's black. Another problem is that my lock button has been broken/jammed for a while, so I can't try to reset it with holding the home button and lock button, which I've heard could work.
    Is there something I can do myself? Or should I just bring it to an Apple store? Even then, can they fix it or is my phone done for good?

  • JDEVELOPER 9i 903 TURNED OUT BLACK, ONLY BUTTONS ON TOP THAT DID NOT WORK.

    I am using Windows 2000. One day I opened JDeveloper 9i 903 it was totally gray, no Navigator, no files opened, and when I tried to opened some it did not react.
    The problem occured from one day to another. Only thing that had happened(but that had happened before also) was that the local oc4j was killed (not nicely stopped) because it "hanged" because of an error in an web-application(but the web-application worked!)
    I have now reinstalled it, and now it is not gray, but when opening a workspace I got the "thinking" cursor, and it does not react on anything.
    I thought that the workspace/project was corrupt so I opened JDeveloper again and tried to make a new workspace, I can add a project to it, but I can not add JAVAfiles to the project, and it is inpossible to save the workspace, so then I can not close the Jdeveloper, and I have to kill it!
    What can I do?

    What can I do? What JDK are you running? Are you using the JDK that was packaged with JDeveloper? When you reinstalled it, did you delete the old version first?

  • Screen is black but phone still working

    my iphone 4s has a black screen but is still working

    Can the problem be fixed? Yeah. Put phone in trash, purchase replacement.
    Can the phone be fixed? Only until it has been opened and components checked for water damage so the extent of the same is ascertained. However, since such damage is not covered by warranty, Apple will probably offer a replacement since they do not repair them. At cost.
    Good luck at the Store.
    When the problem gets fixed, you may consider that a waterproof case is cheaper than what this incident cost you.

  • Screen is black, but phone still works

    I was opening up an app and then the screen of my phone went dark. I let it be for about 30 minutes then went to go plug it into the charger to see if that would help. I then found out that Siri was still working and it would vibrate as soon as I put it in the charger. Someone please help me because I do not know what to do to fix this problem!!

    Reset the phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for up to 1 minute, releasing when the Apple logo appears.

  • Second s5 update has made wifi and data run simutaniously, being charged for data only way to turn off Data is to go to settings. I had same issue with my other phone. Recieved two replacement phones the SIM card did not work on replacements took phone ba

    Wifi and Data running simultaneously. Data was being charged to my account even though I was on WIFI. No one can fix the issue. I have wasted 8 hours of my life and went and returned my phone and got a new one yet after the last update I now have WIFI and Data showing that they are running simultaneously.  I have looked at numerous message boards and turned off Caller ID don't have Volte on my phone but do get an error with Visual Voice Mail. I don't want any of these services, you are not helping your customers Verizon or Samsung with forcing us to update. I tried not to update my NEW phone that I had to get from Costco because of this exact same stupid issue happen on my last one. But every time I said NO to update the next time I did anything on the phone the UPDATE would pop up again. I would say NO it would come back. I was doing a text and it came up and I hit update not wanting to and then my phone began updating on a low battery. I had to rush to put on charge and then my WIFI and Data came back on together with arrows on all going up and down. I HATE the lack of support I get from SAMSUNG and VERIZON... Verizon washes their hands and say these are not Updates even though these are the features we have on all our phones like Visual Voice Mail and Volte...

    I did look at the Settings/Cellular to check the applications.  This is one of the steps I did with the person from Verizon who was an "iPhone Specialist".  And he didn't see anything unusual.  And I can honestly tell you they have very minimal number of apps on their phones.
    When I went to the Apple Store the first time with this problem, they had me update the phones iOS systems to see if this would correct the problem.  They were each running older versions but different versions.  One son had one update to do and the other had a couple of updates needed.  So, the problem started before they were updated and they weren't even on the same update.  And nothing changed after we did the updates.
    I didn't reboot the router and modem, because I'm not having any other issues with my phone, my husband's phone, our iPad, xbox, PS3, or laptops.  Would the wifi only affect their phones?

  • Itouch is locked. screen unresponsive. Restore did not work (x4).  Any suggestions?

    restored over 4 times.  nothing seems to work.  itouch screen locked up. voice over command is on. device is ready to configure, but i can not use screen.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • ICloud Keychain - Dont have access to Phone Number for restoration is not working

    Hi Guys,
    i tried to enable iCloud Keychain feature, when i toggled to switch it on/off.
    in one of the steps, the verification code would be sent to the mentioned Mobile Number.
    when you select dont have access to the number, it has to connect to Apple Support site to verify the identity of the user.
    But i got an error message that Page Not Found.
    Let me know if somebody else is getting the same error.
    Thanks.

  • HT1414 my ipad shut off while using my battery is charged and i did itunes restore did not work what now

    itunes restore did not work what do i do now

    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
