IPad connects and shows a black screen

I have an iPad 2 and when it connects to the Apple TV using Airplay shows a Black screen. The Apple TV and the iPad are connected to the same WiFi. I can successfully connect from another iPad. I suspect I have a setting wrong somewhere.

A hard reset fixed the screen issue. The Apple Support Tech said, that the iPad may have been holding information from a previous Airplay log in and because mirroring to this was not turned off, it may have held some information that was blocking the new mirroring session.

  • The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.

    The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.  When I open the app the screen is just blank. As it is a default app I can't delete and reinstall. Anybody else experience this?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    Help, I just gave iTunes the assignment to update my iPhone5 to iOS7 and now it gives an unknown error (6). The iPhone is still hooked to my laptop, and shows the black screen and bright Apple with the horizontal bar, telling it's in the middle of something. What should I do?

    DFU mode? How do I do that? So far the only thing I can do is hold down both buttons to power it on and nothing is on the screen and it wont reconize on my computer....

    Try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • IPad freeze up and appear to be dead and only show a black screen

    My iPad2 freeze up and appear to be dead and only show a black screen, why is it so?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. It happens occasionally judging by the posts on here, but only once so far to me.

  • My ipod is showing a black screen, but will charge and make the notification noises. Any ideas on how to fix it

    My Ipod touch is just showing a black screen, it still charges and the notifictions still go off because I can hear them. It wont turn onto the lock screen it just stays black. I tryed letting the battery run down and left it for like 24 hours but nothing changed

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo

    My ipod only shows a black screen and an apple logo. It wont connect to iTunes, and charging doen't work. HELP PLEASE!

    Try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the screen goes dark for a moment, then the Apple boot logo should reappear. If it doesn't work, it's broken, take it to the Apple store or another authorized repair service.

  • My ipad is frozen with a black screen with a picture of a cord leading to the itunes logo.i tried to shut it down and the app;e icon comes out but again the cord leading to the itunes icon keeps on coming out. what should i do ?

    I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.

    Hi 22chill,
    I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

  • When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'.  Not sure how to fix this.

    When I turn on my iMac, it shows a black screen and says 'No bootable device - enter boot cd and press any key'.
    I'm not sure what to do, I did not recieve a cd with my mac to boot it up (I ordered it online).
    Also I can't find my harware serial number (I've tried many times to input what I thought it may be from my receipt).  I saw that I need this number to contact apple support, my 90 day complimentary support is still valid so I wish to contact them.
    I don't know much about apple products as this is my first apple computer so any information is helpful.

    Hold down the Alt/Option-key at startup of your iMac to get the Boot Selection screen.
    From that choose to boot into OSX.
    Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and reset your OSX to be the default.
    The new iMacs have OSX 10.7 Lion preinstalled and don't come with any CD/DVD anymore.
    Instead OSX Lion includes a new feature called "Lion Recovery".
