Macbook screen spontaniously went dark then bright and now its just very dark and flickering!?
The screen on my white Macbook 2010 has spontaniously dimmed dark and then back to bright then flickered back to dark. Now it just seems to be dark and constantly flickering to the point where i can hardly see anything and can use it at all??
please help
Hey did you get an answer yet because my Macbook is also having the same problem.
The screen just goes black when I either turn my computer on or let it Sleep or clamshell it. It turns on for a split second then goes black.

But that only covers for Macbook Pro. I took it to the store today and they confirmed it's only for Macbook Pro, although it's obviously the same problem.

my MacBook desktop wallpaper has dissapeared and now its just a blue screen? and my toolbar at the bottom of the screen has dissapeared as well. Please can someone help !!?
Try restarting your Mac.
If that doesn't help, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder (it has a small house icon) in the Sidebar on the left.
Now open the Library folder then the Prefernces folder.
Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac one more time. -
ive just updated my ipod touch 4th gen, but the bat went flat now its just a white screen and when i plug it into my laptop nothing happenes
Hello,
This will fix your problem!
To put the device in DFU mode,
1. Connect the device to iTunes
2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
That should get you back on your way.

i erased my ipod in the setting because i wanted to restore my ipod and someone told me to delete it so i did and now its just a black screen and when i put it my pc it doesntt show up what do i do plz help
Connect the iPod to a charging source and then try the will not turn on topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
If you have a 2G iPod and did not have the iPod connected to a charging source it is likely that the battery fully drained before the erase was complete since it can take hours to do the delete. -
got big problem with my iphone4 , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..
How do you know its charging very very slowly? Is the screen back on?
Once a month you should charge your phone to 100% then drain it, then charge it back up to 100%.
Just leave the phone in and do what is said above.
How long do you think it will take to charge to 100%? -

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod 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.

Hi. I'm having quite an issue here. My macbook screen is only lid when i boot and when i adjust the brightness of the screen (going all the way down and up from there). either way it goes black again after a few seconds. External monitor works though.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
LasseI buy the dirty theory as well. plug and unplug a whole bunch of times - you may be able to dislodge whatever is causing the issue. Also - make sure the plug is fully seated - (some of the pad jacks are vert tight, and you really have to work them in). I gather you are out of warrenty? Blow in the hole.
last resotr - take a toothpick, dip the end in fingernail polish, get rid of the xs, then very very gently, insert the pick and try to rub the contacts. very gently as you do not want to bend them. -
Macbook screen randomly turns blue, then restarts
This has happened twice and it is frustrating. I'll be working away as usual, then my Macbook's screen suddenly turns blue (like the start-up blue before your desktop loads) and then it behaves just as if it restarted. The first time Firefox didn't remember any tabs, but the second time it did.
I have done a little research and saw that people are saying it has something to do with Rosetta apps. Anyone have a solution apart from saving my work frequently?Welcome to Apple Discussions!
That is odd behavior, and I'm not sure what would cause it. You might try a PRAM reset and see if that helps:

My I phone is literally dead. I tried upgarding the software yestreday, it refused saying there was an error, I was given an option to restore it, it has failed. Now there is no old software as well as the new software. Its showing a plug and an Itunes signal on top. Thats all that it has. I will be very grateful to receive any form of help out there.
The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

I put my iphone 5 on charge and now its just a blue screen!
I've tried holding the off + home button at the same time! NOTHING. I've tried plugging in to the computer but it doesnt recognize it? Its been like this 5 hours! Should I take it to verzon or what!
Hold sleep/wake button (also the on/off button) + Home button for AT LEAST 30 seconds. If you've held them for at least 30 seconds and nothing happens, go to the Apple Store or call Apple as suggested.

My ipad 2 crashed last night and now its just turning on and off in a cycle
My ipad 2 crashed last night due to the battery being low and when i plugged it in, it showed thae apple logo and turned back on. Then it flashes to my homescreen for under a second and then just turns right back off again! I have tried rebooting it by holding down the home and lock screen at the same time but it just powers on and does the exact same thing again. It has been doing the same thing the whole night so I dont know what to do? Oh and when I plug it into iTunes, iTunes just tells me theres an error and the iPad wasnt synced, im really worried now so i need help Thanks
Hello francesca62,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article has some troubleshooting steps for you to go through, specifically steps 5-7. Even though the title says it's for iPhone, the same information applies to your iPad.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
