IPad displays a black backlit screen after hitting home button to wake

When I press the home button to wake my iPad 2 up after the display goes to sleep I get a black screen with backlight and nothing else. My short term fix is just hitting the sleep wake button and it usually responds

Devinpz-
Check out Settings-Brightness & Wallpaper. Mine has Auto-Brightness set in the middle of its range. I have images set for both the Wake-up screen and the Home screen. If your Brightness is set too low or your Wake-up screen image is black, that might explain at least part of your problem.
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

3 GS freezes to white screen occasionally after hitting home button. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Has anyone ever experienced a white screen that freezes then turns black after hitting the home button?

I have had intermittent white screens for some time (as in three years). It happens when the phone "wakes up". I hae lost calls that I could not answer because the screen was white. It has come up white when I hit the home screen. Not always, but with random frequency. All I have to do it hit the power button (I do not have to power off, just hit the button) and reopen the phone and it is gone. I know the phone is functioning under this screen, I just cannot do anything.
My first 3GS had the problem so severly I called Apple. After two and a half hours of resets of various kinds, they decided the phone was bad and sent my a replacement. It was better, but it still has the issue. I have gotteb used to it and am waiting until I can get an upgrade to the phone in the hopes it takes care of it. In the meantime, I occasionally doa search here and un the intertubes to see if someone else has the issue and a solution.
My suspicion has been that some app I downloaded causes it, but I have deleted apps and cannot get rid of the issue.

White screen after pressing Home Button

Question here:
When my iPod is already turned on, but in sleep mode, I will press the Home button to use it, but when I do so, the screen comes on, but it is just white. Sometimes, after doing so, I see some black bars, like it's trying to show the lock screen, but then it goes into sleep mode again.
This has just started this week, which is, of course, the first week that it's been really cold here. Is my iPod just reacting to the cold air? I mainly use it inside at work and home, and it's not like either one of those places are igloos. I have noticed that if I keep in my pants pocket for a while, it will display correctly when coming out of sleep mode.
Any other ideas or suggestions appreciated. I don't really want to have keep it in my pocket all winter.

Try restoring it. If that does not work, you could have a battery or logic board acting up.

Hello senthil gp,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The connect to iTunes screen on the device means it is in recovery mode. Take a look at the following article for troubleshooting this issue:

Hi Vinayak,
Change the code

And it will work.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.

- 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.

You can refer to bug - 2418089. This was fixed in 9.0.2.3

NOTE - The difference is the value of 'p_name' attribute. If u see carefully it is 'searchresultpagesiteid'. The first time u run this the value is 'searchresultpageid'.

And when you held them neither the red Off slider nor the Apple logo appeared?
If not then your sleep button is broken, you will need to get it serviced.

HT201269 I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

This might be because that your game update or other software automatic update killed your contacts. You should make a frequency and regular backup for your iPhone so that all the data could be renewed to your backup data. Whenever you lost iPhone data, you have a choice to restore from iTunes. That is easy and free.
However, this is not the end of the world if you don't have any backup of your iPhone contacts, you can recover contacts with iPhone data recovery software, but that need you to pay for it. So making a backup is a good habit. Do you know how to use iPhone data recovery software to recover iPhone contacts without backup? If not, you can search in YouTube to get step-by-step guide to recover iPhone contacts from iPhone without backup. This is such an example: How to Recover iPhone Contacts - Step-by-step Guide.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
