Try a reset. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button + Home button for around 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let me know if this helps.

  • IPhone 5c's screen has gone black and will not come on.  When I plug it in it buzzes every 2 seconds.

    My iPhone 5c screen has gone completely black, i can't turn it on at all. I can't even reset the phone. However when i plug it into my laptop every couple of seconds it buzzes.
    Is there any way i can fix this? Or will i have to go into the Apple store and request for a new phone. I also haven't had the phone for a year yet

  • PB suddenly crashes! Black screen. Wont turn back on. Can anyone HELP ???

    Hello everyone!
    My 16months old 12" PowerBook suddenly crashed last time when I was working with it. I didnt do anything particularly challenging. The PB didn't get extremely slow or anything. All of a sudden it just turned down within a second. and the display went black. By the way, it was not running on battery but over power cord.
    Then right away after crashing there was this weird high-pitched sound coming from the backside of the PB. When I tried to turn it back on the sound muted, still the PB wouldn't go back on.
    It felt as if it wast all the way shut down, and not really on either.
    I tried the key combination shiftoption+applepower button (or whatever it was) to restart it, but it didnt work.
    so I took off the power adapter cord, and took out the battery.
    After putting the battery back in i was able to turn the PB back on.
    All this happened 3 times now.
    very weird and very frightening!! Does anyone have a clue?? Can anyone help???
    PLEEEASE!!
    thanx.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   1.33 GHz, 512 MB, Mini-DVI

    That's not much to go on, but here are a couple of guesses that may lead you in the right direction:
    1) The high pitched noise could have been a fan dying, followed by the CPU overheating and the system shutting itself off to prevent damage. If you left it sitting for a couple of hours and it rebooted okay (or started to), and then crashed again shortly thereafter then it's probably a fan.
    2) If now the system sounds and feels like it's booting up normally, but with nothing on the screen at all, the lamp (not sure what the technical term is) for the LCD could have gone bad. This happened to me a while back. If you have an external monitor available, try plugging it in and see if the machine comes up on that display.
    Either way you're almost certainly going to want to take it in to be serviced. Best of luck!

  • My iphoto library folder with files of my pictures is missing from the pictures folder, only the application icon remains.  I have read through similar discussions but have not managed to fix the problem with the recommended solutions.  Can anyone help?

    I have a Macbook Pro with iphoto '08 running on Mac OS X version 10.5.8.  I used to be able to go to my pictures folder on my HD and access my pictures via that iphoto library folder.  There used to be a small arrow next to the iphoto icon with all the albums then listed within the folder (to the right).  That arrow is now gone and all I have is the iphoto application icon which just reopens iphoto when I click on it, but I want to be able to access the data files.  Somehow I do have files btwn 2008 and 2009 but it hasn't created these since then...Could someone please help me to restore this ability?  I have read other similar posts but they seem to be related to lost data all together and I do luckily have all my pictures in iphoto still. I just can't access them in the pictures folder which means I can't access them on my external hard drive.  I am now out of start up disc space somehow so I figured I had to delete some albums (I have 12,090 pictures) and do have them backed up but want to make sure I can go back for them when I need them.  I did export all the pictures to a folder on the hard drive but it is all 12,090 in one long list with only numbers as names and not in any order, this will be a nightmare to access later!  Please help!  Thank you!

    You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
    That indicates that that is your library.  Put it in your Pictures folder if it already isn't there and make sure it's named "iPhoto Library".  It should look like this:
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select that library to open.  If you get that same message close iPhoto and try the following;
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ 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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • What can i use for adobe flash player i cant do my face book and i cant see some movies either can anyone help me please as i am new to this thanks

    Hi can any one please help me.... I cant do my face book or watch some movies. My ipad2 needs adobe flash player and it wont allow that application to be downloaded has any one got any suggestions please. Please help me as im a newbie at this thanks..

    There is no flash player for iPad and likely wont be in the near future. Some people use Skyfire and other apps as ways to view flash on a remote server, but reviews are mixed.
    Facebook works fine on the iPad browser, but you can also use dedicated apps. Games such as Farmville are also available in app forms, as is YouTube. What movie sites are you trying to view?

  • My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

    My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

    If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
    I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

  • HT1212 I'm trying to backup my iPhone and restore it because the screen has gone black.  It won't allow me to do anything without putting in the passcode.  I can't put in the passcode because the screen is black.

    Try rebooting it (hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds). If the display doesn't come back to life, you're out of luck. You're supposed to back it up before it fails. It's too late to do so after the fact.

  • My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!
