My iMac screen went black and now I can't get it to turn back on
I turned my computer on this morning and everything was fine, but then my screen suddenly went black. Naturally, I looked over all the forums I could but realised mine was a unique case... Upon pressing the start up button, I heard no noise (my computer wasn't on mute) and shining a light on the black screen did not show me anything on the screen was still there.
I think it might be dead for good, but in case it isn't I would be open to hearing what anyone has to say!
Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

I have an iPad 3 model A1416 16GB. It is about 1 1/2 years old. When I opened it today the screen for my password came up and then before I could enter it the screen went blank. I can not get it to do anything now. It had about 24% of charge left. I plugged it into the charger and still nothing. What do I do? How do I get it to work?
Try the following:
1. Reset
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
2. Restore:

iPad 1st gen..help-clicked on an app and the screen went blank and now it won't' do anything-can't turn it off and it's getting hot. How do I remove the battery.
You cannot remove the battery on the iPad. If it is getting very hot, unplug it from power, if it's plugged in and set it down somewhere to let it cool off. Set it on something that cannot catch fire - as bizarre as that sounds. Set it on something that will not burn.
After it has cooled off, then try to restart it. If it will not start, try a reset.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I tried to plug it into itunes and an error message comes up and says it can't read the ipad.
How did you get yours to work?

any suggestions on how I can fix this
This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

I installed ios7 on my iPad 2 yesterday, this morning it wouldn't open the weather channel app. I thought maybe I should power it down. When I held down on the power button the screen went black and now it won't do anything. What do I do now?
Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button -
I charged my phone and now I can't get it to turn on again. What do I do? I can't find a solution here. All I get are error messages.
Try pulling the battery for 10 minutes and putting it back in. Try pressing and holding the power button for a while 15-30 seconds to see if it will respond. Did anything happen to it, drop, submersion, etc. Was it functioning before you charged, When did it last work. Are you sure it charged up and the charger is working.
