Ical inspector screen is black AND I can't import my ical info to Entourage

I currently have two problems with ical:
1. my inspector window is black. Except the headings such as "date" and "time" I can't see any of my imputed data unless I highlight it. I can still use ical perfectly fine. This problem is just annoying.
2. I want to try using Entourage (ical is really getting on my nerves and it doesn't have all the little things that would make my life easier). I tried importing the data but it didn't work.
Could anyone help me with these two problems.
Even though this isn't related to my problem, I am also wondering if anyone can recommend me a cheap but efficient and easy calender that I can use in place of ical in case it doesn't get fixed? Also, can anyone recommend me a project planning software, like Omnifocus, but cheaper?

Hi d,
The white status indicator light being on means you haven't shut down the MBP. Hold down the power button for 5-10 seconds until all activity stops. Wait 30 seconds or so and try booting.
If still no luck, try an SMCReset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed. So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

I have Iphone 5 and updated to IOS 8... I can not receive a call, the Screen become black and I can not answer the phone call

Hey there jjroca,
It sounds like you are unable to make or recieve phone calls because the screen goes black. I would start by quitting all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If that does not resolve the issue, I would use the troubleshooting in the following article, named:
iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

My screen is black and i can hear the sounds on my iphone 4s - what should i do.

I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
Hope this helps!

If you do decide to service your device, you’ll want to make sure all of the music and information is backed up. If you regularly sync your device with a computer, this music should be on the computer. If not, you can learn about what purchases you can transfer from the iPod to a computer:

Hello. I dropped my ipad first gen from my chair, about 2 feet above the floor. The screen went black and I can't turn it on again. I have tried holding both buttons down at the same time, but nothing happens. Any help?

You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back.

My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

The system requirements for CS6 (which can be found here: System requirements | After Effects) specify a screen resolution of at least 1280 x 900

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

About a week ago, water got into my headphone jack of my IPhone 4s and it was working fine for a few hours but all of a sudden the screen went black and I can't turn it back on. I put my phone in rice for a few days but the screen is still black.

However, I took some screenshots and when I went to upload the pictures to my Mac, the screenshots uploaded. So I believe my phone still is working but the screen is just not turning on. I tried holding down the home and top button for ten seconds, even longer, but nothing occurred. I am hoping to find a possible solution so I do not have to buy a new phone. Thank you!

The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.
