My iPad 2 screen goes blank then goes to home screen on it's own. How do I fix it?

My iPad 2 screen goes blank then goes to the home screen on its own. Any application I was using is closed when the home screen reappears. How do I fix this?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

HT203433 My ipod will not open PDF files. I can't access any that are saved because when I click on it an icon appears like it is trying to load, but then a black screen appears and then back to home screen. Help???

I need help understanding why my ibooks app won't run. I have crochet patterns stored that I cannot view .
Please help?

I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

Several times over the last few days while on safari my iPad spontaneously shuts off screen goes dark then goes to home screen what's going on and how do I fix it when I look at settings diagnostics it says that there is low memory ?

Safari crashes several times while on pinterest, screen goes black then goes to home screen when I start safari again it keeps doing the same thing. I checked the diagnostics page and there are several references stating low memory yet when I check the memory on the iPad there is plenty of memory help please

The memory that is low is the processor memory, not the overall storage space. Next time, before you go to that site, double tap the home button to see the task bar. You will see the list of apps siting in the recently used list. Most of them are not doing anything, but some of them are using up memory. Touch and hold any one of them until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.
Do that every so often to help the pad use it's memory wisely.
Some apps, and browser pages use a lot of memory, and do not give it back easily, causing what sis happening to you.
You can also get a similar result by rebooting. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.

My i pod 4th keeps going to the turning on screen then in goes blank then flashed white and it keeps doing that can someone help me please

my i pod 4th keeps going to the turning on screen then in goes blank then flashed white and it keeps doing that can someone help me please
does any one have any idea what i should do it has been jailbroken for 3 months now i downloaded android lock and it started doing this

That happens sometimnes with jailbreaking.
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

Occasionally my screen goes blank, then stripes show up and the computer reboots, is this OK?

Occasionally my MacBook Pro screen goes blank, then a stripes screen appears followed by the computer rebooting. Is this normal?

Does not sound like any kind of normal that I know of.
Sounds like a GPU issue.
Did you run the Apple Hardware Test AHT http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509

Apps still frozen after reset when you touch the app the screen flashes and then goes back to selection screen

Help

Try another Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.]

The screen on my Macbook goes blank, if I tilt the screen it returns. Problem getting worse.

The screen on my Macbook goes blank, if I tilt the screen it returns. Problem getting worse. Should I take it to the apple store and see if they can replace the screen? is it expensive to replace the backlight/invertor?

This sounds to me like a fairly common Inverter Fault.
It is not the screen that needs replacing by the sounds of it,
It sounds like either the inverter board or the inverter cable needs replacing.
My understanding is that inverter / inverter cable repairs aren't too expensive, but not too cheap!
Obviously your best way to find out how much it would cost to be repaired would be to take it in to an Apple Store, as I have never had to have one replaced myself, but the information I'm providing, is based on what I've read elsewhere.
How old is the MacBook?
Thanks,
Ollie.

HT201272 insalled tap pet hotel it half loads then goes straight back to the home screen can any body help

can anyone help my daughter downloaded and installed tap pet hotel it half loads then goes straight back to the home screen.

Thanks for your thorough post. I too need to use BTMM on almost a daily basis for my job, and it has fallen short countlness times. I too have taken great pains to check all of the typical trouble shooting steps within iCloud and in the Apple keychain on each Mac etc, but after the latest rounds of system updates from Apple a few weeks ago to Mountain Lion, BTMM on one of my Macs is completely broken and unusable. I would concur that if you need remote access for "real" mission critical use, just bite the bullet and pay for a service like LogMeIn. You won't regret it and you will get real software support.

My sons ipod shows the apple sign and then occasionaaly a white screen appears and then goes back to the apple symbol.. He cant get it to turn on

my sons ipod shows the apple sign and then occasionaly a white screen appears and then goes back to the apple symbol.. He cant get it to turn on.. He has tried charging it.He also held down the sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time to reset it. we need help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?
