TS3274 My ipad2 is not responding..I want to restart it but i can get nothing but a black screen with only the apple logo and a small gear icon. It occasionally beeps but no other response. Any ideas as to what may be wrong and what I can do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPad fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipad has black screen with white bar

My ipad2's screen has gone blank. after leaving it uncharged for a good 18 hours. I switched it on to see a blank, black sceen with a white bar moving downwards accross the screen this fades to black.
I have tried charging it for a good 7 hours as I thought maybe the battery has run down and caused this.
I have also tried resetting by pressing the on/off and home button together for 10-15 secs but no luck.
My ipad still synches to my imac okay. I have restored it to factory settings. This didn't help the problem either.
This actually happened when first took the brand new ipad out of the box and tried turning it on for the first time. But it revived itsself after synching to my imac and being on charge for a few minutes. The support technition I spoke to at the time didnt really know why it did this but suggested it was a very low batterry issue. Although I am inclined to think its something else, now its happened again and charging does not seem to work.
Has anyone had the same problem? If so what did you do? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be gratefully recieved.
Thanks
P.S. I am running iOS 4.3.3 on my ipad. However its not an available option in the OS dropdown for this discussion. hmmm!

I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything. I thought I was doomed. I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now. I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR AND when using it to open sites in safari I have no issue until I go to a link page that is a pdf file or I am trying to save the screen info as a pdf. I only get a black screen with no data, cannot find solution in help menu

HAVE NEW 13.3 MAC AIR (previously, still have 13.3 MCbook pro which works captures what I am looking for an answer to)
when i open sites in safari the page opens fine if it is not a pdf based page.
Once i open a site that has a link to another page that is a pdf based page the page comes up as a black screen with no info showing
If I open a site that gices me an open to save a file to a word, excel type document or a pdf , everything works fine until I try to save the information to a PDF and again the screen goes black
I have tried the safari help site but to no avail, does anyone have a solution to thid problem. (I do have the abode ofr mac program loaded)

If you delete all the Adobe Reader stuff it will probably fix this. For almost everything, the Apple pdf handling works better.

Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Desktop stuck at black screen with cursor in normal mode but boots fine in safe mode after updates.

After running some updates the other night my laptop stopped loading the desktop and just gets stuck at a black screen with a cursor after I log in to the user account. The only thing I can do from there is do ctrl+alt+delete, then log off or restart.
I can't open up task manager. I tried creating another account in safe mode thinking there was an issue with the account but I still have the same issue. In event viewer I have two warnings one is
event 6000 winlogon, The winlogon notification subscriber <GP Client> was unable to handle the notification event
and event 4006, winlogon The windows logon process has failed to spawn a user application. Application name. Command line parameters: C:\Windows\system32\userinint.exe.
As well as error event id 1003, CertificateServicesClient Certificate Services Client failed to invoke the Providers in response to event 512. Error code 2147956401
and error 1001, certificate services client. certificate services client failed to load provider pautoenr.dll. error code 14001. I checked the registry and the path points to the right directory for userinit. I have tried running
System Repair but no errors were found, and I ran sfc /scannow and no errors were found either. The computer did not have System Restore enabled and I do not want to restore to factory settings. I also ran registry mechanic and it found no errors. Any suggestions
besides restoring to factory settings?

Black screen with underscore after updating ubuntu on Lenovo G560

hello everybody, I'm new here. I looked for this problem online during the past few days but I haven't found a solution. I have a Lenovo G560 and I divided my hard drive into two partition, I installed Ubuntu on C:\ and Windows on D:\ and I haven't had any problem, but after updating ubuntu to version 14 my computer couldn't boot anymore. the bios loads and I see the Lenovo icon but then I just get a black screen with an underscore (not a blinking underscore), I tried booting from a bootable USB stick but the same thing happened (I put it as the first device to boot from in BIOS settings). can anyone please tell me what are my other options ? what should I try now ? thanks in advance and have a good day !

Hi s, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Try this:
Hold down the Option+Command (Apple)PR keys, boot/restart your MBP while continuing to hold down those four keys, and after you hear the startup chime for the second time, release the keys. That should reset your PRAM and resolve the issue.
If the issue persists, while you're booted into Open Firmware, just after the prompt, type in:
reset-nvram
then press return, then type in:
reset-all
and press return. This should restart your MBP and it should go back to starting normally.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

When i try to turn ipod touch on it stays on the black screen with the apple and nothing else happens. whats wrong?

okay so just as i was typing this the problem resolved itself, but when i went to charge my ipod i noticed ot stayed on the black screen with the apple for a good 10 minutes, so i pressed buttons furiously (!!) and the screen went white and then back on to the screen with apple again. this contiinued for a good 4 tries then eventually went on to my lock screen (which is the very beautiful dom howard not that you know who that is and i dont even know any of you so i dont know why im typing all of this out but i really enjoy typing it's an incredibly exciting past time of mine but unfortunately i havent used capital letters) just wondering if it will happen again

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Windows Server 2008 black screen with mouse *PLEASE HELP*

Hello fellow techs,
I have been tearing my hair out for the past 12hrs on this issue.
About 3 weeks ago, one of our clients reported that they were experiencing
issues on the network so one of the staff went into the server room and noticed
the screen was black with only the cursor. As they couldn't reboot, they
decided to hold the power button to power it off. When they powered it back
up, it went passed the windows loading
splash screen, and again the screen is black with
the mouse pointer in the center of the screen.
I am diagnosing the server and find that at the black screen, I’m able to move
the cursor and beyond that nothing happened. I started in safe mode with the
exact same results.
I have been trying many different solutions from posts that I have found in
Google but no change.
From other machines you can type \\servername in
the run box and see the shared folders, as well as ping it.
This is a very urgent request as I need to have the Server back up and running
by tomorrow.
I am quiet willing to pay for phone support with anyone that can assist as soon
as possible. I am happy to transfer founds via Paypal.<o:p></o:p>
PLEASE HELP!

Hi,
I agree with sm, you should give us more details. Also you should use sfc /scannow
command to scans the integrity of all protected system files and repairs files with problems when possible. For more details, please refer to the following article.
Sfc
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff950779.aspx
Before going further, would you please let me know whether there were any changes on the affected server? Has windows update or any new device been added? Please also check your shadow copies.
The Windows Server black screen may be caused by them.
In addition, there are similar questions, please refer to.

C655D 5210 tosiba black screen with mouse pointer

I have only had this computer for 8 months. One day I turned it on, and windows kept restarting. After a few trouble shooting steps off the internet, I decided to reinstall windows 7 and lose my data and start all over. The first time it could not repair the computer and asked me to send the information to microsoft. Cannot boot in safe mode, I can get to the setup utility screen. This is a new Windows 7 cd. After several tries, it installed and said it had to restart, (this may happen several times) it only restarted once, then a black screen with a cursor. When I try to boot from the cd, the windows logo apppears, then a black screen with mouse pointer again. Toshiba is no help at all. This is my third Toshiba laptop. The first one did the same thing. But it was out of warranty, the amount they wanted to charge us, i just got another one. My mom's Toshiba just died with no real reason, the old one is in the garbage, and this one is only 8 months old. Toshiba would like us to send the computer in, pay for shipping, wait for 3 weeks, pay to ship it back to us, with a promise that it may not work.
Please help

ok, so I think I have foud a solution that works for me.
I created this file and added the following lines
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
I have shutdown 3 times and it has booted to the desktop everytime. When I remove this file and go back to sna it reproduces the error of the black screen.

Pavillion dv7 new hard drive goes to black screen with cursor

A couple weeks ago my computer suddenly started going realy slow so I rebooted, and it wouldnt boot. Just gave me an error in the upper left corner (I dont remember the exact message). Anyway I took it to a family fried who fixes computers he said the hard drive probably had a bad boot sector. We couldnt boot to it, but he could read from it by plugging it into his own computer like an external.
Anyway we got the new hard drive in (upgraded from 320g to 500g) as well as the old one with the intention of making it a slave drive. I tried putting in a windows 7 install disk (originally had vista), when I turn it on first I see the hp splash screen, then it says "windows is loading files" and goes to a "windows is starting" splash screen. After that its just a black screen with an arrow cursor and doesnt appear to be doing anything else.
Any idea what the problem might be? Is it just trying to install to the wrong drive? Or could something more serious be wrong like the processor or motherboard that would mean the whole thing is trash now?
