Try smc and pram reset.
See if you can boot in safe mode.
See if you can boot from your lion recovery partition to use Disk Utility to repair/verify your drive (not repair permissions).

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not help, try to connect in recovery mode, described here: iOS: Unable to restore

Computer wakes from sleep but screen remains black even after restart

So, I installed SL yesterday and everything seemed fine. Last night, I closed my computer's monitor (putting it to sleep) for the night. This morning, when I opened it, the screen was black. I could not see anything, so I just restarted the computer.
On restart, the screen remained black.
After some experimentation, I realized that the computer was actually running, but I just couldn't see anything. So, I typed my password - screen was still black.
I then pressed the power button and enter - shutting down the computer properly.
After it shut down, I turned it on and the screen came on as normal...
What's going on here?
I checked some other threads and there was some potential issue with the iphoto screensaver, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.
Any thoughts on how to fix this or prevent it form happening in the future?

I just had a similar thing occur. After resetting the pram the screen came back on.
I had noticed some problems with the hot corners for sleep mode earlier so I have deactivated them now to see if this was the problem. The only other thing I can think of is the recent Java update. I installed it right before the problem occurred.

My iphone 4S vibrates and pings but screen remains black. Happens about every 30 min :(

Iphone 4s will vibrate and ping at the same time. Happens about every 30 min. The screen remains black. No one at Apple can help. My daughter has the same apps and her 3GS does not do this. I bought 3 other 4S at the same time last month and theirs does not do this either.

Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 and if that doesn't work, then make an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple store to have the hardware checked.

I am having start up problems with my touchsmart 300, the pc powers up but screen remains black

I tried disconnecting all cables including power cable and holding power button for 30 secs and then restarting but the problem persists. The fan starts up but the screen does not and the pc makes no beeps. Any advice on how to get it going?

Hello Ric66: What's is holding start button 30 sec stuff. Stop doing that does nothing but destroys computer. It is not a diesel truck. Just turn on computer press and hold f8 key. Now you are in save mode move your arrow keys select save mode with networking. Now open up HP Assisant click maintain then click on tune up and check mark everything and enabled microsoft defragmeter and run it. I had you open it in safe mode with networking in case you needed futher assistant. Perform this task it is not a bad Ideal to scan your computer for malware and viruses. Now llet tune complete close all open windows and restart computer. If for some unkown reason the computer does not start up normal. Then press F8 again safe mode this time you are going to perform a back date recovery open up recovery choose restore to earlier point of time. Yes there is a short waiting period between Windows 7 and logon screen with black screen it is normal. That your start up is corrupted and defragmeter will take care of it. That is why you should scheduled PC tune ups.

IPad works, but display remains black! Fixed now.

Hi, this isn't a question but a maybe solution in case anyone else is experiencing this issue I just experienced.
The iPad worked but the display showed nothing. The backlight came on and if I took a screenshot it would momentarily show what was onscreen. Tried to fix it with the usual methods - Reset. Restore. DFU mode. Restore again. No luck. Eventually I just slapped it hard on the back and it worked

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. If you try ALL these steps and your phone still doesn't function properly, you'll need to bring it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

IPOD touch Screen is blacked out. I charges and itunes recognizes it, only the screen remains black. Is there any way to fix this Problem. I have the latest software update and I restored it several times, but screen remains blacked out.

My IPOD touch 4th gen screen does not display. The software seems to be working and itunes recognizes the device. I have restored it and reset the IPOD several times but the screen is still black. What can I do to fix it? your help is very much appreciated. I do not have access to an apple store since I am stationed in Afghanistan.

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

IMac 24 inch screen remains black

Hi,
iMac starts up in normal way but screen remains black. When I do Screen Sharing from my MacBook Pro I see there's nothing wrong with the iMac ... on my MacBook Pro the normal screen from my iMac is shown.
Please some help?
Many thanks,
Johan

Hi guys,
got the same problem. I've even talked to apple's 2nd level support about it.
made pictures for them and so on. Now the important questions!!!
Are you guys smokers ? I bet you are
Apple's 2nd level support told me that this is caused by smoking infront of the imac.
And their solution to this problem (at least here in germany) is to get it cleaned and tell you to stop smoking in front of it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because there are not enough complains about this problem from customers !!
I'm soooo **** !
Please everyone let apple know (call them) that this is a big big problem and they should redesign the iMac's (if it is a design flaw).Or give everyone that has this problem a new one, that doesn't have this problem.
Smokers unit !

HT201412 My ipad screen remains black and show a persistent apple logo.

My ipad screen remains black and show a persistent apple logo. Sometimes it turn on and off automatically every 5minutes. I have already restored iOS software for 3 or 4 times. I have also seen with the apple genius supporter. The problem still remain the same. Does anybody have any suggestion beyond that? I dont know how many people are experiencing the same problems. Why dont apple solve this issue seriously? My rating to apple would become dramatically decreased to zero. I have decided not to buy apple product anymore.

We are not Apple here .. you should bring your concerns to their attention.

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

My iphone 4 fell in the toilet 4 days ago and it's been drying in rice since. now when i plug it in, the screen remains black but it will vibrate. is this a good sign or is all hope lost for getting it to work again?

My iphone 4 fell in the toilet 4 days ago and has been drying in rice ever since. I tried plugging it in today and the screen remained black but it did vibrate when i switched it to vibrate. Is that a good sign? Or should I just give up hope already?

well good sign or good sign maybe a strong word
it mean that not all of the device have been damaged by the fluid
but it does not really mean that the screen will ever work again
when drying in rice make sure you don't
1 conceal it so the vapor can't escape or it will not dry enough
2 make sure to leave in on a heating source like a heated floor or radiator to speed up the proccess of the vaporising

My iPod touch won't turn on. I have tried plugging it in to charge, but and the screen remains black. I have tried restarting/resetting it to no avail. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
