IPad Display gets black and won't turn on again

Hello,
the display of my iPad sometimes abruptly turns black as I would put it in Sleep Mode. Although there isn't anything displayed I know that my iPad is still working (from e.g. game music etc.). When I try to reset it (pressing Sleep and Home Button for 10 sec) the Apple logo appeares but it is only visible when I put light directly on it (e.g. sitting with the sun in the back shining on my iPad, hard to explain). However after waiting for some hours (sometimes more than a day) I can wake it up as nothing would have happened.

That sounds like a hardware problem and I would suggest that you take it to an Apple Store and have the iPad evaluated. It sounds like the screen is going bad and I don't think that restoring the device would do any good - since that would be a software fix.

My ipad just switched off and won't turn on again ?

My ipad just switched off and won't turn on again?

Have you tried forcing a reboot? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see a silver apple it's rebooting.

Just been watching netflix and my ipad mini switched off and won't turn on again no matter what i do. any ideas?

I have tried pressing both the home button and the power button and nothing happens at all. When I plug it into the mains nothing happens and the same with connecting to my computer. the battery was at around 60% a few minutes before it died so i have no clue as to what has happened :/

1. Reset iPad (ignore)
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air

Macbook Pro suddenly shuts off. screen goes black and won't turn off till after a few hours.

Hi everyone!
So I've had this problem from my macbook since months ago. It sometimes just shuts off by itself, the screen turning black and won't turn on until like after a few hours (sometimes a day, but sometimes you could also immediately open it just like that.)
When it shuts off and you plug the adapter it is still charging, the lights on the side of the macbook book still lights up just fine if you press the button on the side. the only problem is that it wont open until after a few minutes, hours or days (very unpredictable) (also tapping the macbook helps, I dont know if it "really" helps or not, but it works sometimes.) But when it open it will be working fine until another couple of weeks or 3 or a month (again unpredictable)
I dont know what's wrong with my laptop, please help me. It would be greatly appreciated! thank you so much in advance!

Hold the power button down for 10+ seconds. Then bring the MBP to an Apple store for an evaluation.
Ciao.

If the reset doesn't work, you may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

My Ipod touch went black and won't turn on

My Ipod touch went black and won't turn on

Try:
- 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 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.

My iPhone screen went black and won't turn back on.

Yesterday, my iPhone 4S screen went black and won't turn back on. So I tried just letting charge but after an hour nothing happened, so then I switched out the chargers and made sure the outlet I was using worked. But it still was black. Then I did a little research and I tried to put it into DFU mode but my power button has been broken for a few months now, so that didn;t work either. Then I tried restoring it, but my computer didn't recognize it!!! So then over night I let it rest with no power source connected to it. This morning I plugged it back into a power source and it showed the charging icon. I'm pretty that means it's still running, but I'm not an expert. PLEASE HELP!

If you have got a different USB Sync cable try to charge your iPhone with that as there are possibilities that your current USB cable or Power Adapter is not Charging your iPhone. If it still doesn't work make an appointment to Nearest Apple Genius Bar

What do I do if my iPhone 3GS just went black and won't turn back on or anything?

it has the latest update and everything.
i was snapchatting my friends, hit the home button and the whole phone went black and won't turn back on

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 10 seconds. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger and Reset, this can sometimes take about 20 seconds while on charger.

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again.What should i do?

My iPhone 4 shut down and won't turn on again. I tried charging it and do it again...When i charge it , it opens the " Connect to iTunes" , when i switch to the computer to connect it , it doesn't work... It starts to the apple screen , and then just shuts down again. I tried holding the home and sleep/wake button at the same time..I tried everything. What should i do?

Your iPhone is going back and forth between recovery mode and powering on which is really strange.
Have you tried a hardware reset while its connected to your computer? This will force it back into recovery mode so that you can restore it. If restoring and setting up as new doesn't help, go ahead and take it to an Apple Store for a replacement

My phone overheated and won't turn on again

I had my phone on charger when I went to bed and once I woke up i unlocked it to check the battery status, everything was cool so I swiped to unlock and it turned off due to high temperature. I waited for few minutes but it won't turn on again, charging it again didn't help, the reset button, I tried lots of stuff, some info would be nice.

Seems to work, it's on now, but it took me almost a whole day to get it running, had some charging issues, i couldn't tell if it was charging or not, seems to be fine now, not sure if I should be worried or something..
Thanks anyways though, at least I can use it again

My iPhone 4s turns off and won't turn on again without doing the on and home key. Only a month or 2 old. Why?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

IMac screen is black and won't turn on

I got a 27" iMac (intel) a couple months ago (mid-year 2010) and sometimes the screen won't start up after it goes to sleep. Most of the time, I will leave the computer and the screensaver will start then the display will turn off and go black. When I return and hit a button on the bluetooth keyboard or move the Magic Mouse around, the computer will come out of sleep, display will turn on, and everything works the way it's supposed to. However, every now and then, the screen will go to sleep (turn black) and it won't turn back on when I hit the keyboard and move the mouse. I can just barely hear the fan still working, so I know the computer is on but asleep. Even when I hit the power button or hold it nothing happens, it won't even restart. I have to physically unplug the power cord and replug it back in then hit the power button to get the computer to start up again. I have moved the computer around to different outlets and even tried it at a different house, but this issue still occurs. Am I doing something wrong with the Energy Saver settings or is there just something wrong with my computer?
Thanks!

Hi, I hope you find this information useful:
A few years ago, we purchased iMac 27" 11,3 (Mid-2010) (with i7 2.93Ghz, ATI 5750 1GB VidRam, etc.) for our offices and software development team. They were originally shipped with Snow Leopard and worked as expected and without any problems. However, a year later, we upgraded to Lion and all of machines immediately exhibited the same problem: the screen would go to sleep by itself and would require a hard reboot or sleep on/off. (Only the screen was asleep and the rest of the iMac continued to function; this was confirmed by screen sharing to the machine.)
Due to the severity and impact on our business, we immediately contacted Apple and their genius bar staff in New York/SoHo. They were unable to determine the root cause, so they replaced all of the logic boards, video cards, and screens, and got us back online asap. This resolved the problem, but we were curious to know why. After days of rigorous testing, we concluded that the issue is caused by a bug in MacOS. Specifically, faulty Kext files (Kernel Extension files extend the functionality of the MacOS Kernel) for the ATI drivers. So, why did the replacing the hardware work? We think that the Kext files that were released and distributed with Lion (and later MacOS versions) correctly supported the newer hardware revision of the replacement components, but not the older ones.
If you're experiencing this problem, short of replacing the components or waiting (for another 3+ years) for Apple to hopefully fix their OS software, you can lessen the effects and be able to recover faster by doing the following: (Please bear in mind that these are not permanent fixes.)
Turn on "Hot Corners" and assign one corner to "Put Display To Sleep". When your screen goes to sleep, move your mouse (which still works) to that assigned screen corner for a second, then move it again. This will wake your screen. You may have to do this a couple of times, but it's much faster than a hard reboot or a sleep on/off for your iMac.
Turn the brightness of your screen to a low setting (10%-15% of the total brightness).
Turn on screen sharing, so you have a last resort method of accessing the machine.
If you're not convinced that it's a MacOS software problem, then do what we did and see for yourself; install Windows 7, Windows 8, or Linux via Bootcamp or as the only OS on the iMac. Those operating systems and drivers worked flawlessly for us; the bug does not occur and the screen does not go to sleep, but if you dual boot and switch back to MacOS, the bug reappears because the iMac is loading faulty Apple MacOS software.
Good luck!

My iPad Mini is frozen and won't turn on.

My iPad mini was frozen in an app. I rebooted by pressing the home button and sleep button at the same time. However, it won't turn on. It is stuck in the power up screen, with the apple. It won't go past this. Please help.
Thanks...
