Ipod screen goes blank after ios 5 update

I've been having this issue since the ios 5 update, but it seems that sometimes when I use my ipod on my ipad I hit either playlist, artist, or ect and my screen goes all black. A temp fix is powering the ipad off and on agian. I thought that with the release of the update to ios5 would fix it, but I'm still having the issue.

Hello Apple,
I have iPhone 5s and when I updated iOS 8 on my phone, I am getting same issue "blank screen" and when after few days when iOS 8.0.2 launch I again updated new version but still facing same issue.

IPhone 4 screen goes blank after lock screen

My iPhones screen works perfectly on the lock screen but as soon as i enter the passcode it goes blank.
Its still fully functional in terms of recieving calls, vibrating, screenshotting etc. but what could i do to fix it.
I've already tried reseting the settings by holding the home and sleep button at the same time.
What else can I do?

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. What do you mean by "screenshotting"? How can you tell anything is working if the screen goes blank after you enter the passcode?
If a reset didn't fix it, try a restore. If that doesn't fix it, restore it as a new device.

What kind of iMac do you have? A PowerPC G3, G4, G5, or an Intel-based iMac? What OS are you using? OS 9, OS 10.2.x Jaguar, 10.3.x Panther, 10.4.x Tiger, 10.5.x Leopard, 10.6.x Snow Leopard, 10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain?
This particular forum is for older PowerPC G3, G4, G5 iMacs running OS 10.5.8 or older. If your iMac was made after 2006, then you have an Intel-based iMac.
That being said, here are a few tips to try:
Option 1
Restart the computer while holding down the Option key. This will tell the computer to look for bootable drives. If it finds your normal startup disk, select let, then click the right pointing arrow to boot up the computer. Now open up System Preferences> System> and select your normal Startup OS as the default startup disk.
Option 2
Reset your PRAM. Press and hold down the Command Option P R keys while starting your computer. You will hear the startup chime. continue holding down those keys until you hear the startup chime a second time. Release the keys. If the computer restarts, you will need to reset your Date and Time. It might be time to replace your PRAM battery.
Option 3
Reset the SMC by removing all cables (USB, Firewire, Ethernet, Modem, Power cord) from the back of your computer. Let it sit for one minute. Press and hold the power on button on the back of the iMac while plugging in the power cord. Release the power on button. Count to five, the press the power on button again.
Option 4
Place your original, came with the iMac when purchased install disk, into the slot on the iMac, press and hold the C key while pressing the power on button on the back of the computer. (If you have upgraded your OS from when you purchased your iMac, example your iMac came with OS 10.3 installed, and you're now using OS 10.5, then use the OS 10.5 Retail Install disk that you had used to upgrade your OS instead of the original, came with the iMac disk.)
Continue holding the C key until you see the OS starting to load. DO NOT do an OS installation. At the top Menu bar, select Utilities or Utility, and pull down to Disk Utility. On the left side of the window that opens,select your normal OS drive. Click First Aid at the top middle of the window if it isn't already selected. Click Repair Disk from the lower right area of the window. When that is done, click Repair Permissions to the left of the Repair Disk button you clicked earlier.
When that is done, quit Disk Utility. From the top Menu bar (I think its under Utilities) select the Start Up Manager, and choose your normal boot volume as the startup disk. Restart the computer. If successful, and you've rebooted from your normal startup disk, eject the install DVD/CD, and you're good to go.
Good luck.

Screen goes blank after 10 secs when i access hotmail

my screen has been going blank after 19 secs when I open Hotmail or the farmville game. The audio however is fine but the screen turns blank (grey).
This problem started after I downloaded IOS 5 for my iPad on the imac and then synchronised my itunes from iMac to iPad. I alsoactivated i Cloud.

Yeah, I think it must just be an insanely infrequent occurrence, since no one on here has replied in a couple days besides you. I know the screen is supposed to stay on the entire time that there is an incoming call from the lock screen now, since I had a chance to ask a few friends that just got iphones as well. I'm thinking a restore would fix the problem, although I think I'm just going to wait until there is an update, which I would assume would be soon, before I do the restore, since its just an annoyance and not a problem.

Screen goes blank after a few mins, no matter what I do

I have a slight problem: I ran an update, which brought me a brand-new shiny kernel and a brand-new shiny xorg-server. It took me a few days until I bothered to reboot my computer and after that things got hairy.
After a few minutes, screen goes blank.
I set a screensaver of my Gnome desktop to 2 hours, no effect.
Power manager sliders have exactly to positions: 2 hours 1 minute and never, neither one has any effect on this.
I said 'xset dpms force on', no effect.
Even when I try to watch a movie with mplayer, screen still goes blank after a few minutes (usually mplayer inhibits this kind of stuff).
Now, I find it really hard to believe that this could be any hardware issue, after all, if video card or display would be faulty, I would probably either get a picture on the screen or don't get a picture on the screen, not some unwanted screen suspend every few minutes.
So I have to assume it's a software thing. Kernel doesn't seem very likely to be the guilty one, so I guess it is that steaming pile of crap we know as xorg-server, which got upgrade from 1.6.1 to 1.6.1.901 (sounds like wannabe-1.6.2), to be take the blame here.
There is no 1.6.1 package in the cache or in any repos I checked, so hard to downgrade. Of course I could hack some pkgbuild from AUR and install that, but somebody told me that I would probably also have to compile drivers against that so if that's correct (is it?), then I would consider that as a last option.
Any ideas?

Satellite A100: Screen goes blank after a while of no action and can't be reactivated

Hi all
I am after a bit of advise/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on for an extended period with no keyboard input (like burning dvds), the screen goes blank. It doesn't matter which keys I press I can't make it come back on. The only way out of it that I have found is to restart the machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Gary

Hi,
normally this means the machine is in standby mode (power LED is blinking orange). To reactivate you have to push the power button. Then it should bring back all opened windows as before going into standby.
You can deactivate standby function in the power management. (Start -> control panel -> power management)

Home screen goes blank after making calls with OS 4.0 (3G)

Since the OS 4.0 update, my home screen keeps going blank (black) after making/receiving a phone call. I have to turn the iPhone off and back on again to gets the Apps back up on screen.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have had a similar problem. After I make a call, the screen goes black and a random keyboard comes up and does nothing. I have to wait for a while untill it works again

IPod screen goes blank and flashes - help!

I recently got this ipod from the Apple store because my previous one broke. They gave me the ipod and right when I plugged it in, the screen turned an offwhite color, made a quiet buzzing sound and flashed. After a week of this it mysteriously started working so I didn't put much thought into it, I was just happy my iPod worked. Then after a month or two, it randomly started doing the same thing. No matter if I plug it in or not, the screen flashes a blank off white page. It's extremely frustrating. Since the Apple store is far away I didn't get to take my ipod in until a few days ago and when they plugged it in, guess what? It worked. The guy said the battery was just low. So I brought my iPod home and when I'm not using it, I have it plugged into my wall charger. This morning, I woke up and the screen was blank again! I don't know what could of caused this. Apple won't fix it so maybe you can help?

It is also possible that your iPod has entered one of its "Sleep" modes. When it hasn't been used in a while, it goes through a couple of stages of this to preserve the battery's charge.
Try pressing the iPod's center button to wake it from sleep.
If this fails, start with a reset of the iPod (hold Menu & center buttons) and work your way through the rest of the 5 R's.

IPod screen goes blank!

After my iPod got wet, I let it dry for a week, tried most of the five R's (the ones that would be appropriate for an iPod with a screen that wont turn on) and plugged it in to my iHome. It turned on, but (not-yay) after I unplugged it the screen went blank. I mean, I was pushed into the pool! Shouldn't that be covered in the warranty? People have dropped things like a cell phone into water and got a new one back free of charge. I would try sending mine in, but if I have to pay the idiotic diagnostic fee of $100 even if I dont get it fixed forget it!

Tommy,
See if you can put your iPod into disk mode...
Putting iPod in Disk Mode
Then try restoring...
Restore the iPod
Also, try letting it charge.
Finally, why should Apple have to pay if your friend broke your iPod by pushing you into the pool? Make him pay for a new iPod.
These people also fix iPods..

Ipod screen gone white after using 2006 updater!

hi...my 5th generation video ipod has just had an update and the screen froze after i removed it... the screen then instead of resulting in the apple logo turned white and it is stuck like that. When i try again to restart it only turns black for a while makes a few beep noises and then the screen turns white again .... HELP!

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod.
If the reset previously mentioned doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode, and use the updater to restore the iPod.
With your iPod not connected to the computer, reset it for about 5 seconds.
Then press and hold the select and the play/pause buttons for another 5 seconds or so. Then it should be in disk mode.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure).
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

Screen goes blank after windows boots up.

i just updated my graphics driver through HP SUPPORT ASSISTANT when suddenly my laptop went blank and restarted on its own and after the windows logo i got a blank screen but the process is running in the background,just the display is gone.i rebooted in safe mode and disabled my graphics driver Radeon HD 6490M and it booted normally but with a lower resolution.i am not sure what the problem is.
my laptop model is HP PAVILION dv6-6119tx
This question was solved.
View Solution.

yes the issue is solved.just boot into safe mode and disable the ATI graphics driver.then boot the into normal WINDOWS.the screen resolution will be low and now UNINSTALL INTEL graphics driver.then restart your system.now when you boot into WINDOWS,the INTEL driver will get installed automatically.if you are connected to the internet,the driver will be downloaded from WINDOWS UPDATE.so you need to skip that step.and the driver will get installed from existing folders.after it gets installed reboot your system.and it should work fine

[Solved] Screen goes blank after ten minutes

When I let my Asus EEEPC (1005HAB) idle on battery (especially if I'm watching something with VLC), after ten minutes the screen turns off. I can move the mouse or press a key to bring it back, but that gets to be annoying when I'm engrossed in a movie. I'm assuming this has something to do with a screensaver or power management setting. Correct?
I'm running Mate 1.8.1. The power management is set to put the display to sleep after 1 hour. And running pacman -Q mate-screensaver returns package not found. I have looked through the dconf settings, but haven't been able to find the correct setting to change (if its even in there).

IPod touch 4G slow after iOS 5 update, especially Wi-Fi

After I upgraded to iOS 5, the entire iPod, everything on it, became super slow. I can't even check my mail anymore because it takes like 30 minutes to fetch new mail. Safari is slow too. Do you think it has something to do with the router? All the laptops that are using the same router are still running fast though. I hate iOS 5! Help!

Those crash maybe is about the new iOS4.3.5 , i also meet the same problem just like you
The whole device became very lag , even worse i can't open some app cause crashed.
What i done is connect to iTunes with my iPod gen4 and iOS4.3.5 in Windows 7 ,and restore it .
First you have to enter the "DFU mode" , shut down your iPod 1st and hold the power button and home button and the same time, and then release the power button after 4 second with holding the home button another 10 second , your device may enter the DFU mode
Second , open your iTunes , select "Restore" .
After i restore my iPod then everything is fine again , try on yours =]
