I can hear sound but cannot see anything on my iphone

I was deleting apps so I had enough room to run the new update, and the screen just shut off. I can hear when I get phone calls, texts, etc. but cannot see anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Lorie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  If folks are reporting that they can't hear you when on calls, I would try the steps in this article:

  • Blank white screen - can hear it but cannot see it!

    hi wondered if anyone can help I have had my iphone for 4 weeks and when the battery went dead i had plugged it in to re-charge. On doing so the phone has just frozen ona white screen. I have tried turning it on and off and i can hear when messages arrive but i can see nothing.
    it has frozen, help!!! thanks katy

    Katy,
    That happened to my iPhone once. It seems that a connector had come loose. No amount of resets or restores would help. It required a trip to my local Apple Retail Store where they replaced the screen and had me on my way in 10 minutes at no charge.

  • Can hear video but cannot see it?  How do I resolve this?

    Why can't I watch certain videos on my laptop?  I can see thse on my iPad just fine. 
    This is one of the videos I cannot watch on my Laptop:
    http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/obama-mandela-cold-open/n44342/

    Well, since the iPad doesn't use Flash (it's incompatible with iOS), the video is probably HTML5... or you're using SkyFire on the iPad, and it uses "Server side" rendering fo Flash content if the video ISN'T HMTL5.
    Usually, video problems are caused by outdated or corrupted video drivers. Check them and update if necessary: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

  • I can hear sound, but no pictures, on some news internet locations.

    Greetings to all, I have a Windows 7 64--bit laptop. I can hear sound but no pictures. Why is that ? Thank you. Ldxrunner.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Greeting Hiro, I can hear sound at http://news.yahoo.com/video/ecuador-volcano-erupts-045906534.html. At first, I see a black square, then I see bluish circle, followed by musical notes.Then the screen stays black. I see a black square and then after the video ends, I see in the upper left corner of the black square, a replay icon. I have VLC  version 2.0.3. I tried to see if I have Windows Media Player in Programs and Features and I do  not see it listed. I have Windows Media Center. Thank you for your response. Ldxrunner.

    Press and hold the home and power button together for about ten seconds, wait, then press the power button for about 2 seconds, or until it turns on.

I was able to get window open from the help "window" and open sites from there just not from new: window tab or bookmarks those stay invisible? I tried the help suggestions, safemode,etc.

    Hi CMorenoOT,
    This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. You'll want to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information.

    Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
    - Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
    - Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

  • HT204291 I can hear sound, but no video

    I just hooked up my Apple TV - I have an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to do mirroring and I can hear sound, but no video.  Any suggestions?

    It Depends on the app you are trying to airplay. Most apps do not allow content to airplay with video and will disable the video so all you will hear is the audio. If the app you are using does not have a built in airplay function and you have to use the iphone to make it work than most likley that is the case as I described above.
    It has to do with copyright protection and what the app is allowing apple to do.

  • TS4185 i can see and hear them, they can hear me, but not see me, why?

    I can see and hear them, they can hear me, but not see me on facetime, why?

    Ok,
    So when you look at your Preview it is Black indicating a camera is there and selected as no camera would not show a video icon and if from the Preferences would be a grey background and a no camera message.
    I see this is a iMac. Any chance it is a G5 one ?
    If so go to System preferences > Displays and make sure it is set to Millions. (Change it and change it back to be sure)

  • Hİ My ipad's screen is black. When it  take charge, I can hear sound but still black. I press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds but this doesn't work. Screen still black! PLS HELP ME!


    My ipad's screen is black. When it  take charge, I can hear sound but still black. I press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds but this doesn't work. Screen still black! PLS HELP ME!

    How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
    If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    Just FYI, diesel, per an agreement between Verizon and the FCC which allowed Verizon to buy additional spectrum, all Verizon-model iPhone 5, 5C and 5S models are already unlocked.
