Ipad A1396 16gb ...screen black but "dinging" away so alive. had slight tumble from bed any ideas what i should do

hello...can anyone advise me. I have an ipad2 16gb A1396
the screen is black but its "dinging " so must be alive. had a slight tumble of bed last night think may have knocked slightly of nearby laptop. ipad ab0ut
18 months old. many thanks

try a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting and the screen may come back.
Anecdotally, people have said they can turn their iPad over and give it a few smacks to knock whatever you jarred loose back into place. Obviously, you do this at your own risk because you could very well make things worse.

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode shift CMD V the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this?

My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start. Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this? Thanks Eamonn

Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail. I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present". Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility. The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution? I fear I am fast running out of options.

My iPhone 3G will not turn on, but iTunes recognizes it to sync. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? This was a sudden occurance-phone worked without issue before.

This afternoon I was used my iPhone 3G. I then put it aside (it was left on) for about an hour. When I went to use it again, nothing happens. The home button will not call up the lock screen. The lock button will not turn the phone on, off, or lock it. When I plug it into iTunes, it recognizes it to sync. Also if someone tries to call me it will ring on their end, but nothing on my end.
The iPhone is over two years old (purchased in April 2009), so it is out of warranty. Also, everything is up to date on the iPhone.
Does anyone have any idea what the issue might be?
Thank you in advance.
Shannon

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Reset the SMC:

If that doesn't get it charging again, see this article:

If you have access to another AC adapter, see whether that one works better.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

My iPad and iPod touch won't play the music I choose. Has anyone any idea what the problem could be?

Hi,
Since the IOS 5.0 update my iPad 2 and iPod touch (3e generation) won't play the music I choose. I choose a song from Michael Jackson for example and it's going to play something completely different. The images has changed aswel, so it is a bit strange.
I treind to sincronise them again, but this doesn't change a thing. Has anyone any idea what could be the problem and how to solve it?
Kind Regards,
Ward

So just in case anyone else ever runs into this...
I solved the issue and it was that between the plug of the new earbuds being slightly thicker than the Apple earpods, and the width of the case that I was using for my iPod, there wasn't a connection being made to activate the remote function.
I took off the case and now the earbuds work exactly as they should!

Make iMac Screen black but computer still on

Hello,
I am trying to make it look like my computer is off for about a week, but it is still really on. It is hard to explain why I need to do so. If I made a solid black image fullscreen for about a week, will that damage the screen? Is there another way to make it so my screen is black but the computer is still on? Thank you for any advice!

Hello Bluebird,
See if it's related to this...
It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x
The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...

"Why 2012 iMac/2012 Mac Mini won't Wake After Hours of Sleep (Hibernates/Powers Off)")
The sleepimage file still reappears even if never slept. Delete it (hibernate off, etc) - within minutes its back.

Hi krishna706,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is working but the screen is dark, try these steps next:
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
Try to restore your phone and set it up as new.

Iphone 5 got wet last week. Been in rice until today. It turned on and worked fine, I could see a water spot in the middle but still worked fine, 3 hours in it shut off to black screen with apple logo. Any ideas what to do?

Iphone 5 got wet last week. Been in rice until today. It turned on and worked fine, I could see a water spot in the middle but still worked fine, 3 hours in it shut down to the black screen with apple logo. Screen stays up for 10 seconds ago and then goes black and then black screen with apple logo comes back. Any ideas what to do?

At this point it's likely that the iPhone has suffered damage and you'll have to take or send it to Apple for replacement. If you have AppleCare+ coverage on the iPhone, the cost will be US $49. Otherwise the cost will be US $229.
Regards.

Screen black but phone appears to work

screen black but phone appears to work

Is it always black, or only when you are on a call? If it is only on a call remove your case and screen protector (if any), as one of them is blocking the proximity sensor. If it is black all the time you probably have a hardware issue, but you can try rebooting - hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. If nothing at all happens after 30 seconds of holding your phone is broken.

IF you know that, try restart your iPhone if it doesnt work try restoring your device. If it doesnt work again, you have hardware problem. Try changing your screen.
