- 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 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.

  • Ipad screen goes black with white letters

    what is the problem? start reading in book and screen suddenly go to black back ground and white letters

    If you open an ibook and tap the AA button towards the top right of the screen what options do you have set ? You should get theme options : white (black text on white background), sepia (black on brown) and night (white on black) - and possibly an 'auto-night theme' option (that might not show on all ibooks) which will automatically change to white on black e.g.
    If 'auto-night' is 'on' then turn it 'off'

  • My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up.

    When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color.  It was kind of acting up a last week or so.  When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds.  I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net.  Any ideas?  I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

    could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
    can you check if the issue persists on external display?
    also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

  • My ipod looks empty but the memory is full of all my songs! HELP PLEASE

    when I turn on my nano.. it's empty! So I plugged it into my USB port and it connects to my iTunes, and the screen is completely empty from all my songs! iPod seems totally blank. The only thing is I still have 3.33GB of space taken up.
    So now I can't put all my songs on.. I can't delete the ones there cause there appears to be none! ahhh
    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them.
    You should restore the iPod and then reload the songs from iTunes.

  • I tried to open my iPod but it's stuck at the Apple sign!! I need help, please :(

    HELP! I opened my iPod and it had the usual Apple sign. A few minutes later, it was still there. After about ten minutes, it went all white, then black, and then the Apple sign came back. Since then, it has done it a few times again, like a cycle. Please help me get it fixed because I really need it. Thanks to whoever helps me (:

  • Everytime my ipod updates it starts all over...help please

    everytime i plug in my ipod it erases all the songs and starts updating fresh...what do i need to do so it only updates new songs added to my library?

    I would try using the ipod updater to restore the ipod and then try reloading the songs onto it. Something like this is usually a glitch in the os on the ipod not telling itunes that it is already on the hard drive. This should fix your issue.

  • Blue screen of death for Mac? Unique situation here... need help please!

    Hi,
    I've been a Mac User for about 2 years and I'm here because my iMac just crapped out last night for some reason. I apologize for making a new topic because someone might have had the same situation somewhere but I searched for about an hour and couldn't find anything that fell under the same circumstances as my problem. I'll try to use as much details as possible.
    Okay, I was downloading programs, not Shapeshifter or anything funny, (a to-do list and a network security program to be exact) and then the network security program, Little Snitch, said I had to restart after installing. Big whoop, I thought. Then, this little pop-up came up and said, "Before restarting the computer... updating cache". I can't remember exact wording but it said something about updating cache upon restart. I think this is the clincher, but I tried booting in safe mode and my computer won't make that noise so I don't know when to hold Shift? Why won't it make the noise? Well, upon installing Leopard, sometimes my sound/volume icon will disappear. I have to restart like five times before it starts to show up sometimes and my sound won't work. So, I'm guessing safe mode isn't an option unless there's some other way to do it.
    Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:
    http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0384un3.jpg
    I restarted 3 times and it was just coming up as a mouse pointer but this morning it's doing this. I had cleanly installed Leopard two months ago and never had any problems so again, it's not Leopard to my knowledge and it's not ShapeShifter or any program like that because I know there's a guide about fixing a problem with ShapeShifter.
    I read the article that's always recommend after INSTALLING Leopard, but I've had 2 months of grace period before this happened. When I get home, I'm going to try Option C but I would like to hear anybody else's suggestions.
    What can I do, fellas? Thanks in advance.

    Okay, solved this problem. Evidently, one of the programs I downloaded was bundled with ApplicationEnhancer. It has to be one of the following:
    LittleSnitch - most likely
    2Remember
    ButtonDesign
    WireTapPro
    I corrected it by following Option C of this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306857
    Which reads:
    1. Start up in single-user mode by holding Command-S after restarting the computer. Note that single-user mode always uses the US English keyboard layout.
    2. Type these commands, each on a single line followed by Return:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
    reboot
    Thanks, everyone! Happy 2008!

  • Why is the toolbar in safari now black with white text after upgrading ipad 2 to ios7?

    My (retired) mum downloaded ios7 onto her ipad 2 yesterday but is now complaining that when she launchez Safari and uses google, the toolbar at the top of the screen is black with white text. She remembers something popping up during upgrade in the left of her screen about Privacy (?) which she clicked. Is there any way to return the tool/menu bar to its standard white with black text? Thanks.

    Tap the blue + sign in the upper right part of the toolbar. That will open a new tab with Favorites on the screen, if she has favorites in Safari. In the lower left corner she will see the word Private. Tap that to return to normal viewing mode again.

    The following is how to do a proper reset of an iDevice:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
