ITunes pulldown Menus blacked out and search no work
I am using the latest version itunes on my Windows 7 PCs. One PC is fine the other all the pulldown menus are solid black and the search field does not work. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes but the problem continues. How do I do a clean install of iTunes so it does not remember my old installation without reloading Windows 7?
I uninstalled again today, used a registry cleaner, and then reinstalled but the problem remains. I cannot click in the iTunes Store search box and search for anything and all my pull down menus are all blacked out.

How to fix my iphone screen because it blacked out and it still works
how can i fix my iphone screen .
It blacked out but my phone still work help!!!!Hi zhamond,
If your screen is black but the phone appears to still be responding, you may have inadvertently activated a feature known as Screen Curtains (part of the Accessibility functions). You may find the following information from the iOS manual helpful (pg 126):
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

If the phone isn't responding or simply won't turn on, then this article may be more useful:

I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails. My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy. I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval. Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again -
My screen had a black out and since then, my ipod touch is not getting started. it just shows ' connect ipod to itunes'. Even after doing that, my Itouch doesn't appear anywhere in Itunes. Help !! ??
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ok so before i went on a vacation, i switched off my iPad that's left with 24% battery.
2 days later, i switched it on and the screen just freezes. So i pressed the home and lock button together and reset it.
After this, for every min i used, the iPad just black out and restarted on its own.
It probably restarted for more than 100 times already and i can't restore it or whatever since its just keep disconnecting from my iTunes.
I shut it down, reset it, close all the apps, none help.
Does anybody know a solution to this?
Please help.
Thanks a millionTry and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad

3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune

When I load up some sites like Facebook with the desktop version so I can have all the options that the app and mobile site doesn't have Safari blacks out and takes me to my main front page on my iPhone 4S and it also happens when I'm using some apps. Why is this? I'm upto date with iOS 7.0.4. Is there a way to stop this happening? Clearing up etc?
ThanksI spoke to ipod tech support and was told "We do not support itunes. It is only a web based support" Which apparently does not exist.

I sent my friend a really long message of moons and spaces to **** her off for fun, and my messages froze, blacked out, and now they're blank and I can't click anything. I did it before on another day, and this never happened. Is this because the messages are still sending? Can I just backup and wipe my phone to fix it?
I need help ASAP I need my phone.Sounds as though the messages app has crashed. Follow the below steps:
1. Double tap the home button, locate the messages app in the screen that appears and swipe up to force close it (assuming you're running iOS 7 on your device).
2. If the above doesn't work, then press and hold both the lock (on/off) switch and the home button at the same time, until the display turns blank, and the apple logo appears. Once the logo appears, release the buttons and wait for your device to power back on.
If neither of the above work, you may well need to complete a restore on your phone via iTunes. -
This always happens to me but recently it's happens more and more. Sometimes When I use it to game or do work or skype it will eventually black out and forze. I always have to hold my power button down to force off my Macbook pro. What is the caused of the proble and will focing off my macbook constantly spoil my mac?
In very rare cases resetting SMC has solved this problem.

Screen blacking out and freezing when phone is charging
I have noticed sometimes my phone is blacking out and the only way to get the screen to come back up is to remove my battery. It happens about 2 or 3 times a day. Also, when charging my phone I will press an app or phone number and it goes to a completely different app or contact. Does anyone know how to fix this?
ive had an issue similar to this. my music worked for about a month then kept freezing on me. it wouldnt go back to the main screen or anything in the music player the screen just went black and my phone completely froze. however a hard reset worked for me. when you have an issue like this that can be resolved any other way this fixes it however i would use it as a last resort as a factory direct reset erases everything even backed up information on your sd card because everything is reset to the way when you first bought it out of the store. if you think this will work for you here is the quickest and easiet way i have found to do it:
turn droid 2 off
open keyboard and press x while holding the power button
device will power on
keep holding until a yello triangle appears
press the magnifying glass on your keyboard
use the volume button to select wipe data/ factory reset
use camera key to confirm
tap wipe data/factory reset
then ok
highlight reboot system now
then ok -
Firefox 4 blacks out and distorts sections of the screen if I scroll on a website, navigate the bookmarks, at the addons/extensions menu or sometimes just randomly. Occasionally this causes it to crash often with the rest of the computer (no crash report). The previous versions of firefox all ran fine.
I seem to have fixed this by setting layers.acceleration.disabled to true (In about:config). I assume this is something to do with graphics hardware acceleration but I am not sure what the wider consequences of changing this setting are. Nothing seems to be going wrong so far though.

Slide navigator in keynote blacked out and locked - how do I access it again?
Opened a presentation in keynote and have obviously tapped something as have locked the slide navigator bar on the left side somehow! It's currently blacked out and I can't access the slides or move it to access the key buttons underneath it so am stuck on the presentation I have open. Help!?
If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

My Macbook "blacks out" and then turns back on?
There are times when my MacBook will "turn off" or "black out" and then after a few seconds, it would just turn on again with all the applications I was opening opened up already. Please help? This has happened 3 times now. :/
Looks like you have a 2010 Macbook. Are you running 10..6 Snow Leopard? Things to check. Go to system preferences/energy saver/ schedule and make sure nothing is checked. Also uncheck put hard drive to sleep. Do a pram reset/Command/Option?P/R and hold power button down for three chimes. You could also reset SMC. Hold down the Command?Option?Shift while holding down the power button for about 10 second. You should be able to access the apple hardware test by starting up and holding down the D or Option D on startup. Run the test. If not and you have the install disks you can run it from there by inserting it and doing the same thing. Use disk utilities in the utilities folder to repair disk permissions and verify your hard drive. If it needs repair ,you'll need to use the install disk to do it under utilities at the top of the screen. If you have a newer operating system ,Then the only way to do this is through the restore partition by starting up and holding down the option or option r.You could look in your library system fold logs and see if you see anything under crach report that says thermal. Let me know.

My screen blacks out and computer starts up again due to an error. Anyone any suggestions what could case this?
Hello nattygrimm,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and found a great resource to try and fix the issue without having to re install the OS. It is an article called Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199.
I recommend starting here:
The first and easiest test to try is to see if the issue affects a different user account on your Mac. Each user account has customized preferences and other items stored in its home directory. You'll first need to create an additional user if one does not already exist (follow steps a-h below). Then, log out of the current user and test the issue in the new user account.
If this resolves the issue, there may be an issue with a file in the home directory of the original user account.
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Accounts (or choose Users if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Click "+" (or click New User if using Mac OS X v10.2 or earlier).
Give the new user a name and short name.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click the Password tab, and give the user a password.
Mac OS X v10.3 or earlier only: Click Security.
Select the checkbox for "Allow user to administer this computer". This makes the user account an administrator.
Click OK, or quit System Preferences.
Work your way down the article as needed.
All the best,
Sterling
