IPad 1 Wifi / 3G Display sometimes goes dark but iPad is still seen by iTunes
Display sometimes goes dark but iPad still works and is still seen by iTunes. It can sometimes be fixed by rapidly hitting the power button and holding the home button.
Holding the home button and then pressing the power button ALWAYS takes a screenshot and I can hear the screenshot sound.
The screenshot it takes when dark 99% of the time is of the lock screen, but sometimes it takes a screenshot of a blank screen. Perhaps that is after the screen sleeps.
The problem is very intermittent; sometimes the display will work for weeks, sometimes for minutes. Started doing this out of the blue, no drops or bumps before it started.
Seems like possibly a connector or voltage issue?
I would say power button, but the power button ALWAYS works for screenshots.
Any ideas? Right now the display is not working and I'm having problems getting it back on.
I have tried opening the iPad and do not see anything out of the ordinary.
Any inexpensive recommended vendors that can repair this if a solution is not forthcoming?
the iPad doesn't have the feature to turn off 3G service and is searching for STRICTLY 3G coverages.
We need to ASK Apple to add this as a feature to ANY 3G iPads!!

Hello @DesCherryBomb,
I understand that you are having issues with your HP 2310m monitor going blank and/or flickering. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

I have an app idea project going on but I have no access to itunes connect so I can send my idea to the app developers and see what their opinion is about it.Do you know any other ways that can help me promote my idea so it can be further developed?
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -

My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.
Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
Long shot but...
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

Mac Safari can't display ikea website properly but iPad Safari can
Anyone noticed this? I was browsing Ikea website on my Mac mini today, and realize the color and buy online option for the furniture can't de displayed on the Mac Safari, but my iPad Safari can display these options without any problem. I thought it's the Mac Safari, so I switched to Firefox, still, no color and buy online options...

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account, or is system-wide. Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select “Help” from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Any application you run will behave as if you were running it for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
As Guest, launch Safari and test. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. -
When I power up my Imac, I see the white screen and the apple icon. After a few seconds the screen goes dark. I am able to still see the mouse arrow as I move it around. But nothing else. What is the problem and how do I recover?
Try this from another user:
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). -

Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?
And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

Hp envy m6 screen goes black but computer is still running
My grandson has a HP Envy M6 laptop, every so often the screen on his laptop goes black but the computer is still running. If he is watching a DVD on the TV via hdmi cable the movie still plays on the tv but the screen on the laptop is still black. Sometimes it will come back up, other times he has to turn it off and restart. Please, somebody give me an answer because my grandson is in college and if I can't get this fixed, he is expecting Grandma to buy him a new laptop.
Well, I went back and reread your links and realized that the second one was to update the bios. Since I know that my grandson might not even know what the bios is much less how to update it or know that it needs to be updated. So I updated the bios and although I hesitate to say that fixed the problem since it has only been a couple of house, I haven't had the screen cut out on me since I did the update.

I couldn't download the new software onto my iPad or iphone because I didn't have enough storage. I paid the $20 for additional storage. Both devices are showing 15 GB of storage but both are still saying that I don't have enough storage available for the new download (3.3 GB req'd) What else can I do?
Delete some apps or stuff off your devices. The 'not enough storage' doesn't refer to iCloud space but space on your device.
If you have a bunch of downloaded music from iTunes, delete it to make room, you can always redownload it after the update. If you have movies, I'd go for them first since video takes up tons more room than audio (delete less movies is the same space as lots of music)
If you have apps you don't use, you can delete those, as long as you don't mind losing any data associated with them. -
