  • When I went to adjust the brightness on my phone, the screen went black.  I have tried everything...resetting, turning off/on, charging, and restoring.  I can see the "unlock" page and the "passcode" page, but when I enter the passcode, it goes dark again

    When I went to adjust the brightness on my iphone, the screen went black. I have tried everything I can think of and have read online to try....resetting the phone, turning it off/on, charging the phone, and restoring the phone.  I can see the "slide to unlock" page and the "enter passcode" page.  When I enter the passcode, the screen goes dark again.  I can't even answer calls.  What should I do now?

    If no change after restoring the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

    I've had the same problem, and sorted it using this:
    Run the Boot Camp Assistant in OS X as normal and create a partition when asked, then insert your Windows 7 disc to reboot and begin the process proper.
    Windows 7 requires the NTFS file system, so once in the installer just select your new partition (labelled BOOTCAMP), click on Drive options (Advanced) and choose to format it. Then select the newly formatted partition and continue.
    Windows 7 will begin installing, and once it gets almost to the bottom of its checklist, it’ll try to reboot. Now, if you leave it here, you’ll get so far and see the black screen. Any further attempts to reboot will bring you to the same dead end.
    Instead, restart and press a key to boot from the Windows 7 disc when prompted.
    Rather than running the installation again, choose the little option at the bottom to Repair your computer. Decline any suggestions that pop up until you see a list of options with Command Prompt at the bottom. Choose that option.
    At the Command Prompt, type DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS to delete the default ATI driver, then close the window and reboot.
    This time, Windows should successfully initialise a more appropriate display driver, allowing you into the desktop. From here insert your OS X disc to install the relevant hardware drivers as you normally would, then run Windows update to clear up any leftovers.

  • When i try to wake my macbook after sleep the keypad lights up but the screen stays black. I have to switch off and restart. How do I fix this?

    After my Macbook goes into sleep mode it sometimes won't wake. The keypad lights up but the screen stays black. This problem has only occured after updating to OSX 10.7.2.
    All I can do is switch off and restart. Then any programs I have not 'quit' all open.

    OK, I have a fix. 
    After spending about an hour online with Apple Care without success, I did a reinstall of the Lion OS. It fixed the problem.  I was concerned that I would lose data or settings, but the reinstall was seemless and everything was the way it was before the reinstall except that the "black screen on wake" problem was fixed.
    I started the reinstall before I went to bed and it was waiting for me the next morning.
    Here is a link to the page on how to do the reinstall:

    Hope this helps.

  • I was setting up an iCloud account.  I set it up and the wanted to delete it.  When I did that, I inadvertently deleted all my contacts off my iPhone.  I don't think there was any backup.  How do I get my contacts back?

    Hi.  I was setting up an iCloud account on my son's iPhone.  We set up the account, but then decided to delete it.  When we did, we accidentally deleted all the contacts from his iPhone.  There was no backup done yet.  I tried backing up his contacts in verizon backup, but that didn't work.  Can anyone help p,was.  He lost hundreds of contacts

    If you deleted the account by going to Settings>icloud, scrolled to bottom of page and tapped Delete Account, then all you have to do is go to the same page an sign in using the same ID; be sure Contacts is turned on.

  • The movie I bought didn't download, but my money was still taken. How do I get my money or movie?

    The movie I bought didn't download, but my money was still taken. What do I do to get my movie to show, or to get my money back?

    Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
    Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • Just downloaded an update on my macbook and now the screen is black

    just downloaded an update on my macbook pro through the app store (March 20, 2015) and now I cant get into my computer. It will start and turn off but the screen is black. It flashes a white screen briefly and I can see a download bar but I cannot control anything because then the screen goes black. I have tried several suggestions to fix this that I have found online, but it doesn't work. My mac has the most current operating system.

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet

  • Encore WT8-A starts to turn on but then the screen goes black!?

    This began nearly a week ago, I had just installed a few apps and my battery died. When I tried to turn the tablet back on it showed a dark blue or even greyish screen. I waited over night and tried turning it out again...this time it began to start, showing the Toshiba start up screen, but then the screen went black.
    I have tried to hold the power button, does not work. It will only partially work while on the charger, nothing happens unless it is plugged in.
    I did do a Google search and found out that this could be a Bitlocker problem so I tried once again after waiting a few days, I was able to get to a screen allowing me o input a recovery key. The recovery key worked and then I was sent to a page saying that my PC started wrong, restart. When I allow it to do so the process starts all over again...
    This tablet is only about 6 months old and I just started using it regularly a few months ago. It hasn't been damaged and I am certain there is no virus because I have software that I run weekly. I am clueless as to what to do to make this work. Has anyone else experienced this problem, if so how was it resolved?

    It seems that a few months ago Toshiba started shipping devices with Bitlocker enabled (one I bought a year ago did not have, one I bought in November did. I turned it off and decrypted the drive immediately.This seems to be an industry problem and not just Toshiba. "Someone" made a firmware revision that turned it back on since other Tablets have reported the same problem.
    I have seen reports of three stages of Bitlocker:
    1) Not encrypted - no key
    2) Encrypted using a personal key (may be stored in your Microsoft account and recovered from there - is about 25 digits)
    3) Encrypted but Bitlocker turned off. Key stored on hard drive and "decrypted on the fly". I suspect this is the problem and happens if Bitlocker is turned off but the drive is not decrypted (takes several minutes). If something happens to "lose" the key then there is a problem. I suspect the key is stored in the firmware (BIOS) and an update may wipe it..
    What I would do for any tab is two things:
    1) Open diskmgmt.msc and see if any drive mentions Bitlocker
    2) Go to "Search" and enter "drive encryption". See what it says
    If either mentions Bitlocker or "drive is encrypted" then I would go to Control Panel>Security>Bitlocker and decrypt the drive (not just turn off). If you need disk encryption then make sure you keep a copy of the key offline.
    If that does not work or it is locked already then a full recovery with reformat may be needed.

  • I have thumbnails in my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black

    I have thumbnails on my iPhoto library but when I click on them the screen is black.  I have had my computer in 2-3 times for this issue and the library is corrupt, or so I was told.  This doesn't make sense since the photos are obviously in my library some where.  Any thoughts what is going on?

    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
