My iPad screen is extremely damaged, I need to wipe iPad clean but can't see the screen. Can I control iPad settings through my pc/iTunes?

You can try an alternative.
This is the quickest thing that came to mind, but if you want to wipe it with no care of the data on the device at all:
Place device in recovery mode (turn off device > hold home button + plug in to iTunes (WHILE HOLDING BUTTON)).
iTunes will give you an error saying it detected a device in recovery mode, you need to restore to use device. Restoring device is a factory reset. AKA a wipe of the device

There is no one from Apple here; we are fellow iPad user.
Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
Thanks in advance for your help!

With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

My iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen.

my iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen. What is going on?

Possibly backlight died, if you look at it closely in bright light can you see a "Shadow" of the screen image?
First, back up your phone

Then, restore the OS from scratch

If that doesn't work, you'll need to have the phone serviced

Thank you. I told it to the apple store in Southampton and they were fab. I was lucky and there was no water damage, the water indicators didn't change colour. It was just bad luck my screen failed at the same time as it got wet!! Screen changed and all is well. Thank you Genuis Tom and West Quay!!

You're going to need a new phone unless you are very lucky. Take it to an Apple Store.

Is this a movie from iTunes? If so is it a rental or one you've purchased?

My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything, I have a child that is very ill and I have to have access to a phone at all times can someone help me? It happened one other time when I plugged it in to my to listen to music. I know it is working it said something on voice control. I tried the press the circle button and the top button but the screen only turned white?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

Can't see the screen!!!!!!!!!!

When i'm in the sun i notice that the screen is really really reflecti've and i can't see the screen at all, not that it's broken or anything. Anywhoo anyway or trick to fix that because i wanna change tracks when i'm outside.

Which player do you have? Sometimes a screen protector can help if you feel the angle or reflection is not to your liking.

I can't see the AirPlay icon on my iPad 3

I have new iPad + new Apple TV.Both in one Wifi network. Option Airplay enabled on Apple TV,but I can't see the AirPlay icon on my iPad 3? Any ideas? Thanks for advice

Try reseting the iPad.
Sometimes that does the trick.
AirPlay icon should be beside the volume when double tapping home button then swiping to the right

My Computer is on BUT I can not see the screen to dark?

My computer is on and I can the my front screen. BUT it is too dark , so I can't see what to do. I was having trouble and I had to reset the PRAM. Is this why I can not see the screen. And how do I fix it?

I believe the keys on an imac are F11 and F12, for dark / bright respectively.
Try that, I think it'll work.
If not, then try out all the "F" keys, one of them will work.

I just broke my iPhone 5 and can't see the screen. I haven't backed up my iPhone to iCloud yet. Is there a way I can remotely back it up so I can restore my new phone (once I get it) faster?

If you plug your phone into your computer you can sync and backup so that when you get the new phone you can restore from a backup instead of setting it up as a new iphone

Download photos from old phone, but can't see the screen

Download photos from a LG Spectrum 2 that quit working, my contacts came over from whenever the last backup was, there were some of them missing as well. I can't see the screen on Spectrum 2, but the power button light is illuminated if plugged into a charger. My Spectrum 2 has an internal SD card, so not just as easy as obtaining from the SD card.

prweaver2,
I am sorry for the issues you are having. Without having access to the on screen prompts of the phone the media can not be transferred unless it was previously backed up somewhere such as the VZW Cloud or another 3rd party storage. If you would like you can try to gain access to the media by plugging the device into a computer and transfer the media however this many not be possible as you must enable USB Mass Storage on the device.

How can I reformat my hard drive on my MacBook Pro if I can't see the screen?

The graphics card connected to the logic board on my old MacBook Pro is broken. Due to this the screen does not come on. I intend to sell my MacBook for parts. Before doing this I need to wipe the Hard Drive. How can I do this without seeing the screen?

Thanks OGELTHORPE,
Unfortunately I would not know where to start disconnecting and fitting Hard Drives!
I did however manage to mount the old machine to my new MacBook. Then used the disk utility to earse the contents of the old drive.
Cheers
