  • How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    How do you fix an ipod that has a black screen and it turns on but when it turns on the screen gets a lighter black but you still can't see the apps or anything?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod has a black screen and  will not turn on how can i fix it

    I have tried everything that i can to get my ipod to turn on.  It has a black screen and hasnt done anything atleast 2 weeks.  Please help.

    1. Can you get it to light up doing a hard reset and holding the buttons down for at least a minute?
    2. Is it charged up?
    3. Is the USB power cable good?
    4. Can you get iTunes to recognize using recovery or DFU mode?

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPodin recovery mode use this prgram.

    - 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.

    My ipad has a black screen and the apple logo and won't do anything else. I have tried to reset to no avail.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

    My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?  It is charged.

    If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
    Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    If you replaced the Ram in your machine at any time, you may not have been aware of the fact that Apple computers have always been a little picky when it comes to 3rd party Ram.  Apple computers have always run very well on 2 different brands.

    The only difference I am aware of is that Crucial offers a download and will tell you exactly what Ram your computer is capable of using and the prices that are available.

  • My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

    My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast.  I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
    thanks for your help

    Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
    Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.
