IMac G5 screen stopped working!!

My screen on my iMac G% s not working. The computer is fine as I can hear music on iTunes play and control it using the keyboard to skip tracks etc.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the latest software update I downloaded. Iy hasn't worked since.
What can I do?
I am going to take it to the local Apple shop and see what they say. Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Do you mean you cannot see your desktop?

Why did my brand new Ipod 5g 32gb touch screen stop working?

So I got this ipod from the Genius Shop for about a month. A few days ago when IOS 7.1 came out, I updated it. However, the ipod seems to lag a little. Today, I was charging my ipod and for some reason, when I turn it on, the touch screen stop working (the ipod is in perfect condition). The home button, volume button and the on/off button all works fine except for the touch screen. I want to restore everything on my computer, but I can't get pass the lock screen (the touch screen seems to stop working). I just can't do anything on this ipod anymore beside turning it on and off. I can't even power it off because the touch screen is no longer touchable. So how can I restore everything, or do something about this ipod to work again. Can I still take this back to the Genius Shop and get another one without additonal charge?

If the reset does not work try the remaining items of:
- 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.

HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it. Today, May 4th, I go to school with a perfectly working iPod. On my way home, kept safe in my pocket all day, the touch screen stopped working, and restarting it didn't fix it. It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

yes i have the same problem. But also other then the fact that the touch screen doesnt register it is really dark, like there is no light bulb

Why did my touch screen stop working?

Very upset my touch screen stopped working on phone new years eve. What could be wrong??

flakris,
Oh no! This is not what we like to hear. I want to make sure that we are able to get your phone back up and running. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage to the device? Can you try to press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until the device powers off then release (approximately 10 seconds). Please keep us posted.

Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
* Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
* Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
* Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
* In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
* Two-button shutdown and restart
* Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
* Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting. So far i am on my 8th reboot. In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work. This time... who knows.
Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
Thanks for posting this issue. More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

My iPod touch screen stopped working, how do i fix it?

My iPod(4th generation) touch screen stopped working. Okay so it was fine earlier, my home button does not work so i have been using the assistive button for months, and until earlier today it got stuck, i tried to power it off but it doesn't let me slide to power it off, and it doesn't let me press anything on the assistive menu either, and i'm currently waiting for my ipod to die but it's taking forever since it's battery lasts forever! is there any other solutions you can give me?
and i was wondering if my ipod has life insurance with apple so if something is wrong with the screen, can i take it for a new one? (my ipod is in very good conditions, not cracked or scratched, just the home button is an issue)
thanks!

Try restoring via iTunes. If necessary. try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore:

Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

Certain part of screen stopped working

So one night I was texting and a certain part of the screen stopped working. The only way I can describe the part of the screen is by saying it is if you look at the regular texting screen, from the top of the spacebar and up to the top of the texting letters does not work on the ENTIRE iPhone. I can't call people by entering numbers. But I can answer phone calls, set alarms, but its the certain area on the phone that does not work. What do I do to fix this? Do I need a new phone?

First, do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide (bookmarked in iPhone Safari): Restart phone, reset phone, restore in iTunes using a backup, restore as a new iPhone. See this support article:

My iPod Touch 3G screen stopped working.

A few days ago, my iPod Touch screen stopped working. I tried restoring it afterwards and it worked for about a day. After that the screen became unresponsive again. I did this again to see if it would make a difference but the same thing happened; it workes for a day and became unresponsive yet again afterwards.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
FIXED THE PROBLEM! I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

I have a problem in iPhone . When you receive a contact and press the key at the top to cancel the contact screen stopped working .ataml times after the last restart device

Since restarting did not help, reset your iPhone, see: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that still does not solve it, check, if the contact you are trying to add is problematic. Try to save a different contact. Does that work?
If not, reinstall the Contacts app. This is only possible by restoring your iPhone, unfortunately.

My iPad 2'screen stopped working!!!!!

HI,
My iPad 2' screen stopped working.it's under manufacturing warranty.Am i eligible for a replacement?
By the way I dont have the bill with me ,will the serial number be enough?
Oxana

I just ran into the same thing. Screen just stopped accepting any kind of tap or slide input upon taking it out of the case. I even tried staring at it really hard.
This happens to be on an iPad 2 that was already replaced once -- because it just stopped working at all.
Note: I BABY my iPad. It has NOT come into contact with water. It has NOT been dropped. It has NOT been through extreme temperature changes.
So. While I did the reset thing even before coming to this post, and that worked fine, it doesn't instill me with confidence. And it doesn't answer the question: "WHY?" Windows PC users are used to doing the three-finger-salute. I was used to removing the battery from my BlackBerry once a day. I'm not in the habit of any such thing with an Apple product -- particularly a brand new one.
What gives, Apple?

TS3274 My Ipad 2 screen stopped working his morning. I've rebooted it. No joy. I've restored it. No better. What next? Who do I take it to?

My Ipad 2 screen stopped working his morning. I've rebooted it. No joy. I've restored it. No better. What next? Who do I take it to or what else can anyone suggest please......

If you have reset to Factory Default and it still doesn't work; bring it to an authorized Apple Sevice Center.

My iPhone5 lock screen stops working sometimes

My iPhone5 lock screen stops working sometimes.I have to restart the phone every time I encounter this problem. Sometime even when phone is locked and there's incoming call I couldn't answer simply because the touch stops working. This frequency of occurrence is increasing now.
Is this some kind of software issue because I noticed this after updating to 7.0.2 iOS ?

Because something is wrong with your iphone.
Try the basics from the manual: restart, reset, restore.
If these fail, it is likely a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the genius bar.
