  • Random screen blackout 2009 24 inch Cinema Display... HELP.

    Random screen blackouts with 24 inch Cinema Display (purchased 2009). Never used with anything but same Macbook Pro (2009). No hardware changes on MBP. Just started June 6, 2012. Super annoying. Anyone else having this issue? Recommendations?

    Hello, Ertjie.
    The link titled Download the 24-inch LED Cinema Display Update from the kb/TS4045 article worked for me when I tried it today.  Click the "Download" link I post here or try the one in the kb article again.  Perhaps it will work for you now?
    However, I note that the kb article expressly states that this firmware update: 
    ...is only intended for use with and will only install on the Apple 24-inch LED Cinema Display while the display is connected to a Thunderbolt-enabled Mac. (EZ Jim emphasis added)
    If your Mac is really using Mac OS X (10.6.8)  as shown in your initial topic posting, your Mac may not be Thunderbolt-enabled.   If so, contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider for help.

  • TS1702 I purchased an app and got a 'waiting' message on my itouch screen.  What does this mean?

    I purchased an app and got a 'waiting' messae on the itouch screen.  What does this mean?

    You have a router that assigns IP addresses in sequential order. 
    Always turn your devices on in the exact same order and you will avoid the message.
    It is not a serious problem.
    If your router supports DHCP reservations based on MAC address of the devices that will resolve the problem.

  • HT201210 My itouch screen froze showing "plug to itunes" after trying to update to iOS6. Is there any ways to export all the pictures from it before restoring?

    My itouch screen froze showing "plug to itunes" after trying to update to iOS6. It still can be turned on and off. But the screen froze showing that message. I perhaps need to restore it. But is there any ways to export all the pictures from it before restoring?

    Only if y can get the iPod out of recovery mode with the program. Otherwise you will have to restore via iTunes which erases the iPod.

  • After iOS 7.0.2 update: Freeze on lock screen, blackout & unresponsive for 5 min then the phone restarts itself

    Happened after iOS 7.0.2 update a few times (2x this morning): Freeze on lock screen, "blackout:" unresponsive to any buttons pressing, after 3-5 minutes the phone restarts itself and works again... (1) May I ask what can I do? I am trying to reset it and recovering the data from backup. (2) Can a virus cause this problem?

    To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

    If it does not charge normally after that, you'll have to get it serviced, the problem might be hardware related.

  • Itouch screen

    Is the Apple Itouch screen impervious to scratches? What is it made of. I am really worried of it scratching. I am thinking of getting the Invisible shield for it but I am wondering if the responsiveness of the touching the device will be still be the same?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
    ...B

    No need to worry. The touche's screen is hard as steel. Here is a scratch test that shows the firmness of the Touche's screen:

    However, I do advise you to get the Invisible Shield. Because:
    1. There are no fingerprints when using it (w/o it you WILL notice fingerprints)
    2. The ipod's back is very easily scratched.
    Have fun

  • Screen blackout running Windows 7 in Bootcamp

    I've just upgraded to the latest Lion on my iMac 8,1 and the latest version of Bootcamp running Windows 7. Now I get random screen blackouts, which require a complete shutoff of the machine. I suspect it might be related to the new NVIDIA driver. Any thoughts?

    I have a similar issue which first occurred today.  I was using Windows, and had been logged in for several days, when suddenly a relatively small blue box appeared in an otherwise black screen.  I didn't have time to read what appeared in it.  I started up in Windows afterward and the start up process seemed normal, i.e., all was visible in the OS and I could enter my password.  But, presumably after accepting the password, I only received a black screen.  This continued until I used the power button.  After briefly pressing the power button, I could see the mouse pointer and a spinning icon and the computer would then shutdown.  I hadn't been installing or updating any software in Mac OS or Windows before this incident.

  • Itouch screen problems in Iphone

    My iphone fall down, and my itouch screeen doesn´t work any more. I can receive phone calls but the screen doesn´t respond. I already tried to reset it, but it dind´t work. the itouch screen it`s locked. Could you please help me?. THe warranty covers this kinds of problems?. Thanks.

    I would suggest sending it to a third-party repair (Google iPhone screen repair) source that fixes iPhones. That will not be covered by warranty even if the phone is unlocked.

  • ITouch Screen Not Responsive

    My iTouch Screen won't unlock when I try to slide the bottom of the screen. Tried all the restore options and erasing content. Not sure what else to do or what the problem is as to why it is not responsive. Help, please

    Brought it in to the Genius Bar. She tried reloading software and few other obvious things that we did as well. She determined that since there was no clear user damage and water damage she replaced it with a new one.

  • Preventing iTouch screen from turning off during enhanced audio book play

    I have created an enhanced audio book (.m4a format) using GarageBand. When playing this file back on an iTouch the screen automatically turns off approximately every minute. Touching the screen will turn it back on, but I would prefer that the user not have to repeatedly touch the screen during playback.
    Is there a setting of ID tag that I need to change to prevent the iTouch screen from automatically turning off?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I had my iTouch autolock set to 1 minute, which appears to be what was causing the problem. Changing it to "never" has resolved the issue.
    Thanks!

    To all concern,    
         My iphone4S suddenly became totally screen blackout,I try to call it from my other mobile its still ringing at the vibration still working how can I fix it,please help me Apple Communities

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, connect in recovery mode to your computer and restore, explained here:
