IPod Touch 5gen screen suddenly turned BLACK???? PLEASE HELP and give me a useful reply!

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME I'M FREAKING OUT.
Ok so I DO NOT HAVE WARRANTY ANYMORE. My ipod is over an year old.
Ok my ipod was working fine and I put it in my backpack and when I took it out 5mins later and tried to turn it on with the top button (since my home button DOES NOT WORK and is STUCK, idk how that happen either ugh) it would NOT turn on. My ipod was around 50% battery (plz do not say the battery indicator is unreliable because it was half charged). So I plug into my computer and itunes won't recognize it and I plug it to a wall charger and it wont turn on!!!!!!
Please give me a useful reply!

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

IPod touch 4g won't turn on, please help me

It all started when I powered down my ipod, as in holding down the power button and sliding the red bar. After I did that, my ipod touch refuses to make any noise or sign that it is still working. I tried holding down the home button and power button for up to a minute. Nothing. And I also plugged it into my computer to find that it wasn't recognizable by itunes. I feel that I've tried everything for this, and I really don't want my ipod to be done for. I don't care if I lose all my data, I just can't live without this device :(

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 another cable
- 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 iPod Touch 5 brightness suddenly turned dim but when I go to my brightness and wallpaper page in settings it is at the middle (Normal Brightness). Is this a bug in ios 6 or something?

If the reset does not work I would try the following before going to Apple
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Mac pro mid 2010 - screen suddenly turns black

hi everybody,
since today my Mac pro (snow leopard) does the following:
Sometimes the screen suddenly turns black. Only the Cursor can be seen (sometimes not even that).
When I reboot the system everything seems fine, but after a few minutes the same problem occurs.
Unfortunately I'm not able to copy the specifications of my system because the black screen is faster than I am after a reboot.
I would be glad if anybody knew what I can do about it.
Thanks guys! Chris

Safe Mode does the equivalent of a Disk Utility (Repair Disk) while it puts up that progress bar. It never get more than about 1/3 of the way across, even when everything is great. But if your drive is un-mountable after the repair cycle, your Mac cannot start up, and it will shut down.
NOT shutting down is a good sign.
Safe Mode should continue and load a minimal set of Apple-only Drivers. It does NOT load the graphics card Driver, which is why it can be useful to learn more about your graphics card.
If you are using your Boot SSD for everything, and are not using TRIM, your SSD may be clogging up with deleted data. There are several ways to eliminate or reduce the deleted data.
One way is to run any system, 10.6.8 or later, with TRIM Enabler installed, and run one pass of Disk Utility (Repair Disk) with TRIM active. This presents one additional line of output:
"Trimming unused blocks"
and pauses for up to a minute while the unused blocks are TRIMmed.
TRIM Enabler has become much more difficult to install on 10.9.5 and later, because it conflicts with the new Kernel-extension signing feature.
Edit> If you are really running 10.6.8, you can install TRIM Enabler in your active System. It is free, but be sure to get the correct version for your system. There is an advanced-features version also available for a modest charge.

Macbook screen suddenly turns black

Hi everybody.
I have a macbook pro since 20 months now.
I turn it off very rarely but, many times, I have had the problem that, after awaking it from sleep mode, the screen suddenly turns black and I have to turn the macbook down. This problem happens approximately 1 time every two months.
Here are my macbook details and the report of the problem. I hope you can help me.

I've just now today experienced this problem, I had purchased MacbookPro with Snow Leopard, then upgraded to Lion which was actually a disappointment. I tried to use the Apple Recover Lion and downloaded it to my external drive. Then, tried to use it -that's when the problem started I got the panic screen. This has not happened for several months since the Lion upgrade, and only happened when I tried to reinstall Lion. Now taking it back to the Mac dealer to figure out what is causing this new issue. I am writing this from my old HP laptop -which is running fine with Windows 7. Don't know if buying a Mac was a good idea. This seems to be a software issue with the downloaded recovery program, Apple should fix this asap not in 6 months, there are posts about this for a year now.

My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

HT1386 i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

Try:
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 screen suddenly turned black and wont start again

I was using my computer as usual when the screen suddenly turned off. It wont start again! I'm a musician and work with my computer!! Today I have a show and wont be able to use it!! I'm desperate Please, can anybody help!!
Thanks a lot!!!

It sounds like you had a hardware failure. You can try doing a SMC reset, read the instructions carefully though as they cover multiple models of Macs. If that doesn't help I think it's time to contact a AASP. The AASP site is for the US, you will need to find one in Brazil though.
Good luck!

IMac screen suddenly turns black

iMac screen suddenly turns black

Suddenly shuts down, after few moments can be started and used again like normal. Started occurring when mouse and key board batteries where low ? coincidence-- batteries now changed but still happened once.

Screen suddenly turns black!

I have an early 2006 Intel iMac 20 inch running 10.5.3. Once in a while when I'm working, the screen just turns black. No response. The fan is running, but no response whatsoever. I have to shut down and reboot. The last time, I saw some patches of colorful flickering and then it turned black.
For the past few months, I've also seen some segments of the screen very distorted, with strange geometric shapes with stretched text, which disappears when I select it and click again. I wonder if this is related.

Try resetting the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543?viewlocale=en_US
Also try resetting the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US
After resetting the PRAM go into your System Preferences and make sure your startup disk is chosen. http://ftp.georgetek.com/George/Startup%20Disk%2010.5.png
Install iStat Pro to check your internal temperatures and make sure your fans are working ok: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27037

Ipod touch is unresponsive!!! Please help!!!!

I was updating software for ipod touch 3G, it said there was an error and stopped the download. Now my ipod is frozen with an apple and a 'loading line" under it. I tried resetting but it wont work and it is not being recognized by my computer. i dont know what else to do!

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restoreo
Next see if DFU mode will make it visible in iTunes so yu can restore it.

5th generation iPod touch lock screen suddenly does not function/ or respond to touch?

     Recently, I was using my iPod touch to take a picture of the beach, while I was at the beach. It functioned perfectly well, but afterwards the lock screen did not respond to touch. It is 100% battery at the moment. Though my hands were just a tiny bit wet at the time, I do not believe the issue is hardware related. I also do not believe this is related to the fact that my hands were wet while using the device. This is because when I swipe down to open my notification on the lock screen, it responds to my touch. Although I cannot access any of the apps on notification center, and it will not respond when I click on notifications, the software does allow me to open notification center.
     I cannot slide to unlock my iPod touch, all of a sudden. Also, I cannot open the camera app via the lock screen either. When a friend texted me (through iMessage), a notification showed up on the lock screen. The only action the lock screen allows me to do is access the notification center.
     Also, when connected to my Mac and wall charger, it will charge. I am currently operating on iOS 7.1.1, so I have been due for a software update.
     Would updating through my iMac solve this problem? Also I plan on backing up all the data onto my computer (esp. photos). How should I solve this problem? If I were to upgrade to iOS 7.1.2 would it be helpful? I believe this is merely a software issue, not a hardware issue with the touch screen. I have had this iPod touch since February 2013 and it has a 32 GB capacity.
Thanks to everyone who answers
p.s. Has a similar issue like this ever occurred to anyone?
