Main screen going out

Does anyone have a constant problem with the main screen going out during usage or calls?? If so how do you fix it ?

During calls it is designed to go off. Otherwise you'd be pushing buttons with your face.
You can also adjust the screen timeout in the settings menu.

Please check your Firefox Installation's version. (can be found by clicking the main menu, either clicking or hovering over the help button, and then clicking about firefox in the sub menu). depending on how long ago you set up sync you may still be using the older sync version. firefox 29 introduced a new (and might i add far less tedious) sync version. see [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync|this Mozilla support article]] for information on upgrading your sync to the new version.

The screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?

when I start the server, the screen goes out of sync, how can I fix this?. The server has no video card.

What do you mean by 'out of sync'?
Try running the 'kickstart' using Send UNIX Command or while logged in to that server (ssh etc):
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent -menu -console
You might also want to trash /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist from the server..

Screen goes out when cover opened

I have a white Macbook. When I open the cover the screen goes out unless it is held at a certain angle.

It's one of four things and the liklihood in this order:
1) Inverter Cable
2) Inverter
3) Screen
4) Logic Boarad
If you're Macbooks under warranty take it to an Apple Certified Technician (Apple Store) and have them take a look at it. If not, and you can't afford to repair it, you're welcome to take a gander at repairing those parts. If you have the time, and can figure it out, try opening up the chasis reconnecting to cables to the monitor, as on some laptops they're taped on and eventually come lose.
This will likely void any active warranty.

Detailed Account of iPhone 4 not turning on after screen goes out.

Hello,
This is my first iPhone and in the last week it has been annoying. I have been a Mac person for 11 years and this phone is awesome but this problem I am having is not. It started about a week after I had the phone (I have had the phone almost a month now), it seems that when the screen goes blank from inactivity the phone will not come on after pushing the power or home buttons. This requires a hard restart and the phone will come back on. The first time it happened it was a single incident so i Dismissed it all together, but this week it has been happening to me again except this time i did a little more troubleshooting and research on the issue, I do not have in apple store in my location and it was hard enough trying to get the phone and i really do not want to send this back to wait for another phone for two weeks, but unfortunately i will have to.
Monday I was bored at work and did my usual browse threw the app store purchased a flashlight app for the LED flash on the camera , all seemed well throughout the day. the next morning on the problem started over again. everytime the screen would go blank from inactivity i would have to hard restart the phone. now keep in mind this will only do this from inactivity, if I am playing music in the background and the phone goes off it will still come back on, no problem. So i did some googling and came across a few people having the same issue but no one really giving any details. i went home for lunch and got the new 4.0.2 update hoping this would work, nada.... seemed the only way to remedy the situation was to restore phone to factory settings. I did this tuesday afternoon and all was fine until today , thursday, I received updates for a few apps today (predators, facebook and retina wallpapers hd) now the same problem is happening again.
This has to be a software issue, it would be awesome if anyone else having the same problem can comment on their issue and try to give as much detail (time, dates, apps, updates) as possible. I have owned three apple machines over the last 11 years, I am a die hard apple guy thru and thru from the age of 13 and wouldn't have it any other way, but it would seem apple should have tested this phone out a little more thoroughly. If i had an applestore in key west i would be more than happy to deal with them over there but I am on an island 120 miles away from the nearest walmart so I am sorta screwed. It would be awesome if an apple tech or moderator could reply so I at least know you guys have a detailed account of what is going on, also please feel free to contact me via email.

I have been trying for the last half an hour to recreate the problem with out the case on and i cant recreate the issue. the phone is coming up fine, i have restarted the phone twice to see if the problem would come up after a restart and no go.
I just got off the phone with katy at otterbox and she is telling that they have not had any issues with the case but i have explained to her my whole issue and that i have trouble shooted the issue without the case on the phone itself and i cannot get it to happen again.
i currently have it in the case and am going to try and recreate the issue again. if the issue comes back up i wont hard restart it on the spot i will take the phone out of the case and then try the home button. if the phone works, its the case, if it doesnt work it has to be the phone.
now my thinking is that this occurred after a software update, I am wondering if the software that I have on the phone might be taking the overheating temperature threshold up. as in before i installed the software the phone would go out at so&so degrees then after i installed the software it takes it up to so & so degrees and the otterbox is making it just warm enough to turn the phone off.
another quick note that i am wondering about...
this monday i had the phone syncing to my itunes and during the syncing i has an update on facebook and out of habbit i immediately go to check it, so i cut off the syncing as this was going on. i dont think that would effect the phone now since i have gone thru a software update and a system restore since then.
as of writing this post i have been testing the phone with the case on and now the issue is not happening. i will be holding off on sending the phone and will continue to try and troubleshoot the issue, i now have a belief that it could actually be the otterbox that is doing this but i am not sure. i will try and keep this updated as i am telling both companies i have started this tread and that they should make reference of this in the notes

My ipod nano will turn on and play but the viewing screen will not come on and I cannot access the information to select different playing options. It glows white background light then goes dark for the entire time I am using it. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem. Someone here told me to make sure my earbuds were in securely. Push until they click in place. It solved the problem. The music still plays even though the screen goes to sleep. Hope this helps.

LED screen goes out when in use

Lately, my ibook screen suddenly goes dark while in use. It seems to be random, not linked to any certain behavior.
Anyone else having this problem?

Hi, Erin.
Does adjusting the angle, opening it or closing it a bit, make a difference?
You could try resetting the PMU. The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the backlight, so resetting it may help.
Please let us know how things go for you.

Screen goes out sometimes for no apparent reason

Sometimes when I open my MacBook when it is in sleep mode, it comes on but the screen is dark. If I look at it from the side I can barely see my screensaver picture and desktop items. It seems like it's working normally, but I can't see anything. The brightness key (F2) doesn't do anything. I have to turn it off and on again.
This is annoying, but it's also a problem because of something else I want to ask about. I have a huge music library, which I keep on an external hard drive that I normally leave connected to the computer. If I have this screen problem, when I turn it off and on, it tells me I didn't disconnect the hard drive properly. (I can't eject it if I can't see the screen.) Once that happens, it seems like the only way I can get the hard drive to work again is to connect it to a PC -- NOT a Mac. We have a Mac desktop in the house, but it still shows it as unusable if I connect it to that Mac. But if I take it into work and connect it to a PC, it's fine and then it will work again on the Mac. This is frustrating as I need to do this about once a month for one reason or another. Is there any easier way to get the external hard drive working? Thanks for answering either of these questions.

If you cant use the F2 button, I'd suggest trying your very best to look at the screen from an angle, go into system preferences, (preferably from your dock as its a bigger icon to click) and you can adjust the brightness from there, this will save you from having to turn your MacBook off and on again and prevents corruption of your external drive.
System Preferences > Hardware Section > Displays > Brightness Bar
I'd suggest calling apple, best to be the nearest store to you.
Hope this helps, regards.

HT4623 I have an older IPAD and it is no longer allowing me to see general settings, it flicks out of programs and goes back to the main screen. Is it time to throw it away?

My iPad is going back to the main screen with many of my applications. I have several desk tops, laptop and a Nook Color and none of them have any problems, so it is not my internet. Any idea how to fix the iPad or should I just toss it?

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

My iPad 1 is turning off an app and going back to the main screen at odd times. I've already updated it... to no avail. Do I need to reset it to factory defaults and reload everything?

It turns off many apps at random times.
Plus, it won't let me go to the next level of Plants and Zombies! I've played the same level about 15 times... it goes all the way through the level and then cuts out when it is giving me extra points for my lawn mowers. Then it goes to the main screen... then when I go back into the game... I'm at the beginning of the level all over again!
No fun!

I'm unsure what you mean but "factory reset" but first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

On my ipad and iphone email when I reply to all it goes to main screen. It lets me reply to all from a PC. Does anyone know why?

On my ipad and iphone email when I reply to all it goes to main screen. It lets me reply to all from a PC. Does anyone know why?

I actually figured this out. One of the people I work with has an Android phone. My ipad and iphone will not let me respond to his email when sent from his phone. Don't know why but that is what is going on. I am going to experiment and see if I can find anyone else with an android that I can't respond to.

How do I stop my iPad from blanking out returning to main screen?

How do I stop my iPad from going out and retiring to the main screen?

I just posted this same thing in another thread. Try the first tip and then try the reset. If that doesn't work, then close all apps - the last tip. If none of these work for you, a restore of your device may be in order. Hopefully one of these will work.
Try downloading another app - any free app will do. That seems to reset something and it may work for you. If not, try all of the steps below.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Need multiple 'MAIL' Icons. Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain

Have two mail accounts and i want to keep them separate but want to EASILY switch back and forth from the main screen instead of going through, Settings, Mail, and selecting account. Major pain the butt. This has been a request from Apple users for many years. it's great you can now combine all emails into one, but some people want them kept separate and have separate icons on the main page. They could easily do this by having one "MAIL" account as white and another red. Or put MAIL 1 and MAIL 2. Or an actual label that the mail accounts are called on the ICONS!!
Help!

...I could switch back and forth between accounts while in the mailbox, with one button. I think that is what you are referring to? Whoever said it's just a simple switching - you obviously haven't had the pleasure of using an Android device. It's not that quick to go back and forth - definitely not efficient...
Not that it matters a lot, Android vs iPhone interface is largely a matter of personal preference and what you know... I'm not sure which one you're saying is not efficient...
In any event...
I currently have two email accounts setup. My iPhone main page Mailbox settings reads:
Mailboxes
Inboxes
All Inboxes
Gmail
[email protected]
Accounts
Gmail
[email protected]
I wish there an efficient way to move back and forth while in the "Inbox" between accounts. Also, Why does one gmail account show as "Gmail" and another as the actually address?
The names are based on the names you gave the accounts when you set them up.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the account you want to re-name. Go to the "Description" field and put in what ever you want.
Second, there is no way to quickly choose a bunch of emails to delete. I have to manually go into each one and move it to the Trash folder.
If you tap the edit button in the upper right while in mail, you can select multiple items to move, delete or mark (flag).
I don't want any of the condescending remarks, that I've read here and in other forums. I'm honestly looking for a solution, which I think you are too! One thing I realized is that iPhone users in these forums are really defensive and quick to say "that's how it is, live with it, if you don't like it go away" Um...the only thing that tells me is you are pretty bitter and have kept telling yourself that, to force yourself to like your device. I prefer to express my issues, and find solutions. There is ALWAYS a solution...
I think what you will find is that many people here, myself included, tend to get a bit short with people who start off with attacks or whining about how something has been asked for for years and should be easy, rant about things that have already been beaten to death multiple times in the forums, talk about how much better Android or BB are at something (really... if it's that much better, why did they buy an iPhone to begin with?), etc., or continue to ask questions that could easily be answered with a simple search, or even just by looking back at the last dozen posts to the forum, half of which probably asked the EXACT SAME question.
I don't think any of us go out of our way to be rude or uncivil. That said, attacking the people who are attempting to help you is much more likely to generate a response of 'if you don't like it, go away', than it is to generate something that will be truly helpful.
