I have a blank screen.
The original hard drive failed and I had it replaced by an apple certified tech last week. He also installed OS 10.4. The machine worked fine for a few days. But now, when I press the power button the startup sound chimes but still have a blank screen with no icons or desktop image. I can insert a music CD and then play it with itunes but I can't see anything. The screen lights up but it does display anything. What can I do?
Use the keyboard brightness controls to see if that will solve it. You may have to press the fn key also depending on how it is setup in System Preferences.
I had this problem on an older Mac once and took a long time to figure it out. Good Luck

While updating ipod touch we now have a blank screen. I have updated itunes but am unable to sync because the ipod does not show under devices. I have tried shuttng down and restarting but only have a blank screen or ap0ple logo. Sometimes the screen shows connect to itunes but that has been it.
I have the same problem, after upgrading my itouch to iOS6, it doesNOT respond to anything, apple logo stays on the screen all the time and does NOTHING! restore does not work either.... i hope we can get an answer from someone soon... apple support did not have an asnwer.

I clicked on something by mistake and now have a white blank screen.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars" -
Hate new up-date. Have read and agreed to I-tunes agreement at least 5 times and nothing. I go to I-tunes and nothing but a blank screen. Don't really understand icloud.
Hey ProblemsI4,
First, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

How do I get my apps to download I have a blank screen
How do I get my apps to download I have a blank screen
Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. -
I cannot repair or reset because it has a blank screen
Plug it into the charger for at least 30 minutes.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

I tried to power off my ipod touch. The screen showed the "slide to power off" button and "cancel". I slid the power off. Since then(30 minutes) I've had a blank screen with the loading symbol on it(moving loading symbol). What do I do?
Try a hard reset,

I have a blank screen when I run a test.
I recently downloaded the trial version of Flash Pro CC. This was in the past few days so I have the newest version. I'm running Mac Yosemite (10.10). Whenever I run a test I'm given nothing but a blank white screen. Debug isn't available as an option (I think because it's a trial) and the play button won't allow interactions if I'm not mistaken. I really don't want to export every time I need to test a project. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a million.
Normally Adobe software is fully functional whether it is a trial or not... though I cannot say if they have changed that with the CC version(s).

Why does Creative Cloud have a blank screen while I'm installing photoshop?
So, I've been trying to install photoshop and creative cloud is completely blank. The site says it's installing but I'm not sure if that's really the case? Also, how do I fix the fact that Creative Cloud is blank? Is it permanent? I haven't taken any steps because I don't know what I'm doing at the moment.
