THE screen light of my I phone 3Gs is not on...it always off from past few days

Hey Arun1205,
That definitely sounds frustrating. We'll need to isolate this issue to figure out if it is indeed hardware:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
- Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
- Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
- While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
- If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • 5.0 update loads whether I want it to or not, and afterwards is open, but does not appear open on the screen, so I have to uninstall Firefox and reinstall 4.o, which works for a few days until the 5.0 update loads by itself, and I repeat the process.

    After Firefox automatically updates to 5.0, I cannot open Firefox from the desktop icon, because it's apparently already open, yet I don't see it, and can't find it! It has effectively rendered the internet unusable for me until I uninstall Firefox, and then reinstall 4.0 without the update 5.0. This only lasts a few days before it automatically updates again.
    A backup question is, in the event you have no idea what's going on, is how do I prevent 5.0 from automatically installing itself?

    First of all, are you aware that Spry is a dead technology and the code you're wrestling with is over 7 years old and will not work with mobile touchscreen devices (essential in today's web world)?
    Even though it's included in older versions of Dreamweaver, Adobe formally abandoned Spry last year
    http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l'
    Point being, few people will advise you to continue along this Spry path.
    You're better off investing your energy in a modern up-to-date menu system.

    I have upgraded itunes on m computer to 10.5. When I connected my iphone to the computer I was told that ios 5 is ready to be downloaded, and that I should back  up my iphone before doing the download. I did. Now I want to get my iphone back on and it just can't . The screen lights up, i select language and network but it tells me that my phone cannot be activated because the activation service is temporarily unavailable. what do i do?

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • When I press to the left of the home button, the screen lights up

    When I press to the left of my home button, the screen lights up as if I were pressing the actual button. This causes Siri to pop up randomly all the time and my phone keeps accidently taking screen shots. Should I take it in?

    I was a little confused when I first read this, but I think I understand what you mean now. The bottom left part of the glass on the front of the iPhone, by the home button, can cause it to act like you're pressing the home button. I do not experience this issue on my iPhone 5. This is probably a small defect in your iPhone. It isn't major, though, I'm  sure if you visit the Genius Bar in your nearest Apple Store, you can get advice from the experts on what to do.

  • My macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again

    my macbook 3.1 screen goes dark after a period of use; but if i readjust the screen (close it to about a 30 degree angle) the screen light is on again.  i don't have an external monitor, so i just deal with it.  i'm about done dealing with it and am wondering if anyone else had/has this problem, and how did you solve it?

    You have a hardware problem. It needs to be fixed.
    Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the MacBook in to an Apple retail store or service provider to ask for an estimate.

  • The screen light on my nokia 5800 doesn't go out w...

    Hi all, I am having a nightmare with my phone. I don't recall making any changes to the settings, but when I use the slider button on the side of the phone to lock the phone, the screen light doesn't go out as it has done previously? The result of this is that my battery life if almost half what it was.
    Can anyone help me please, I have looked in every setting known to me and consulted the manual but still no solution.
    Thanks is advance guys

    i dont understand why there are so many issues  with peoples 5800
    i have none....ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!!
    i know youve said youve done nothing with the settings but can you try
    settings.....phone.....phone management....auto keyguard....change that to 1 min
    (01:00) or just make sure it isnt some bizarre number......
    also try to see if you have a correct setting in "light time-out"
    settings.......phone....display........light time-out
    make sure no bizzare number is there either.......
    hope this helps

    Hi, raneth's boyfriend!
    Unfortunately, iTunes was told to restore all data from an old backup onto the new phone, and that cannot be undone.
    However, prior to this, iTunes 10 would have also asked to make a backup of the phone before doing the restore.  If the user elects to say "yes" to perform the backup, then iTunes would have backed up the phone before erasing it.
    Hopefully, that backup will still be available in iTunes, and if so, it would be backed up under the new phone's name prior to it being erased and restored (if the name of the new phone is different to the name of the old phone).
    To check if iTunes has a backup of the phone prior to the restore, look in the Devices category in iTunes Preferences.  All backups made are timestamped and are identified with the iPhone's name at the time of the backup.  Look for:
    • a backup of the phone using the new phone's name prior to the erase and restore, or
    • a backup with the same date and time as that when the phone was erased and restored (not the date and time AFTER when the phone was erased and restored!).  This may be the case if the new and old phones have the same name.
    If a backup is available, you can erase and restore again using that backup. The phone will be restored with what would hopefully be the original image of the new phone.
    If no backup was made prior to erasing and restoring the phone initially, then there is no way to
    undo it, meaning your phone's original data has been lost.

    It sounds as if you have Voiceover activated. You should be able to turn it off by triple tapping the Home button.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • My ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink

    my ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink, thank you

    First, make sure that it's fully charged.
    Then, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
