Ipad screen goes black with white letters

what is the problem? start reading in book and screen suddenly go to black back ground and white letters

If you open an ibook and tap the AA button towards the top right of the screen what options do you have set ? You should get theme options : white (black text on white background), sepia (black on brown) and night (white on black) - and possibly an 'auto-night theme' option (that might not show on all ibooks) which will automatically change to white on black e.g.
If 'auto-night' is 'on' then turn it 'off'

My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up.

When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color. It was kind of acting up a last week or so. When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds. I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net. Any ideas? I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
can you check if the issue persists on external display?
also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

Hi there Bradvance! What is your suburb? I will try to find the nearest possible Apple Store. And have you tryed resetting it by doing this?
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
2. For about 10 seconds
3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
You are required to connect to your computer. Thanks!

When I first downloaded to 7.1, it made my keyboard black with white letters. Very distinct. Now, it's somehow back to white with black letters. How do I get my black keyboard with white letters back ? iPhone 5S

You changed the proper preference, but you don't need to relaunch iTunes. You do, however, need to click the blue OK button at the bottom right of the preferences window. The change will happen then.

Mp4 on ipad - screen goes black

Hi all,
I have some 'home movies' that i'd like on my ipad (wedding video - nothing sinister). It works in itunes, it works on my iphone but when i transfer it to the iPad and press play, the screen goes black and i can hear the sound, just not see the video. It also doesn't let me pause or show any of the usual icons that show when you touch the screen.
Do you think i need to do something difeent for the iPad than the iPhone?
The videos are .MP4
Video Codec - H.264
Thanks for any help!

What program did you use too get to the format you loaded in iTunes and what output did you specify? Also, what are some other specifics such as framerate and audio format. They have to meet:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

Since upgrade, my ipad screen goes black

Since upgrading my ipad2 to version 7.1 my screen goes screen goes black very often and I have to return to whatever I was doing and start over. Saw various online discussions and they advise restart or change settings and that doesn't help. PLEASE anyone.

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. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

1st gen ipad screen going black at random times.

Powers back on to the page I was just on. Have powered on and off completely and am using current OS. Any ideas?

The fact that the iPad will return to the app that were just using - after the screen goes black - is very odd to me. The apps aren't crashing or you would be returned to the home screen.
Have you tried a reset/reboot?
Reset/Reboot 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.

G550 screen goes black with no backlight

After 16 months of using, when I try to start my g550, the system seems to start up (all the noises and lights on the front side go on), but the monitor either remains black or lights up for a few seconds and then goes black, with no backlight.
Please help...

Hello ddominikaa and welcome to community,
Kindly remove the battery and disconnect the power adapter, press the power button for 10 seconds connect the power adapter and check if the display comes.
If the display does not come and laptop is in warranty then contact the support center and get the service case log.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Windows 8 in Boot Camp screen going black with computer still on.

I'm running an iMac 3.0ghz Core2 Duo 27" with 4gb of ram.
As the title says, I have Windows 8 installed on Boot Camp and just in the past week this has started happening and I can't figure it out.
A little while after running Windows (usually a game), the screen will go black, but I can still hear what's happening and can even continue typing and interacting. The problem is that I can't see anything. The only thing I can do is turn off the computer. I've found advice on how to fix this if it happens in the Mac OS, but it hasn't happened on the Mac side and all of the steps to take don't affect what is happening on the Windows side.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the display or the graphics card, but can't figure out why it only happens in Windows. I have everything up to date as far as I can tell, so I'm really lost.
While I am running MacOS 10.8.2, I never have problems. There is a bit of image persistence that I have and have been leaving the screen on a little longer than normal. That may affect this problem.

With Windows 8 you're pretty much on your own right now as Apple doesn't support it yet in Boot Camp. You're just going to have to be patient or revert back to Windows 7 which is supported. Sorry to be the bearer of bad new but that's how it is, if you need additional info please post in the Boot Camp forum, that's where most of the Boot Camp and MS Windows gurus hang out.

IPad screen goes black

I have a 3g 32gb 1st gen iPad and this has happened to me a couple times. I will be using an app or on the web in safari and then out of no where the screen will go black and the only way to get it to come back on again is to hold power and home for about 20 seconds till the apple logo appears and the iPad reboots. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix it? I have tried hard reboots, syncing, restoring and re-syncing, and the problem keeps comming back.

The pad is supposed to manage its own resources, but sometimes it gets overwhelmed when you are using apps that require a lot of memory. When it gets overwhelmed, it just freezes up. From time to time, double tap the home button, and fully shut down anything that shows up in the task bar. Sounds to me like you are just running short of memory. If you want to see the impact, download an app called monitor from the app store. When you run it one of the settings shows you how much free memory you have. If it is open, then doulbe tap the home button, and shut down the apps that are there. You will see the memory get freed, and get a feel for what is using your memory.

HT201412 My ipod screen is black with white and gray lines all over; i need help please!My ipod also won't respond to any button pressing and nothing shows/syncs on itunes

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.
