hi.

its beggining to irritate me BIG TIME.
please help me.

Hello Kundai67,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone only had a blank screen. I recommend following steps 3-6 below:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Is it a common occurance for an iPad 4th gen to just blank out and stop working? The screen shows nothing at all, no sounds but it registers on my computer when connected.

Is it a common occurance for an iPad 4th gen to just blank out and stop working? The screen shows nothing at all, no sounds but it registers on my computer when connected.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

Is It Possible to Blank Out the iMac Screen While Mirroring?

I have my iMac hooked up to a Sony Bravia HDTV and would like to know... I am mirroring the displays so whatever shows up on my iMac shows up on my Sony TV, can I black out the screen on the iMac so I can only see the images on the Sony TV? Or do I have to set it up so the Sony TV acts like a 2nd monitor and I have to drag stuff onto the screen?

Can you just switch off the mac screen with the brightness key (top row, 2nd from left)? That's what I do when having my macbook hooked up to an external display - which is most of the time.
You probably looking for something more 'automatic' - as windows would do when using an external display. Not sure if it can be done with mac.

Tungsten e _ just blanked out

..My Tungsten e has a recent battery replacement and check-up through PDASmart...but I let it sit in my purse for a week or so (probably two) w/out charging it. Its now deader than a door nail. I've tried charging it directly w/ the wall charger for a day; and also w/ the USB cable subsequently. Tried the soft start pin in the back. Nothing.
Do any of you have any idea at all what is happening? This happened once before after PDASmart installed the battery but when I sent it back to them they reported that they had no trouble at all turning it on. So, I am perplexed. The device is 'old' as these things go but PDASmart did do a check up just a year ago.
Hmm. whatever you can offer - including if I should just suck it up and buy another but...I LOVE all my settings and various apps and cringe thinking of resetting them.
Best regards and thanks

Some web pages start to load then just "blank out"

When I go to some of the www.foxnews.com articles/web pages, the pages starts to load, then blinks, and starts to load again then goes blank. I went to the Actions window on the top most menu bar and saw that this is the last thing loaded. So I am guessing that the last thing shown as being loaded is causing the page to go blank. Any ideas as to why this is happening? I have updated both flash and shockwave players to the newest version. All Apple software is up to date.
-Apple //GS
PS: here is an example of what is loaded when the page goes blank.

AND here is what is should be:

I got this shorter version by stopping the "reload" before it started.

Okay, a guess...

10.4.7 blanked out my ibook screen .. suggestions?

I downloaded the combo update, mounted, installed, optimized and went to restart. Never finished the restart. Now I get the start tone but the ibook G4 screen is black. I was able to connect to my mac mini via target mode and can see the hard drive and the ibook displays the firewire symbol. However, I can't get any screen to display when trying to start up. Any suggestions?
G4 ibook 1.33mHz with 1.5 mb ram
Thanks,

Surprise! I removed the 1GB chip and my ibook came back to life, but so slowly!
I have a new chip so I'll try again. Looks like the upgrade to 10.4.7 worked, but what a challenge.
Thanks for your help.

HELP! My itunes library just blanked out

Yesterday, I was looking at my itunes and searching for some new songs, all of a sudden the whole thing blanked. My whole library is gone. Help, what do I do? I am not very computer savvy.

If your iPod wasn't connected at the time, maybe you could use this: http://www.freedvdripper.net/how-to-transfer-music-from-ipod-to-another-ipod.htm l ,and do the iPod to iTunes thing. I haven't done it so I don't know if it works, but I was searching for a solution to my problem and I found that link. May help.

Macbookpro screen blanks out momentarily?

My macbook pro screen momentarily blanks out, then comes back on. It happens very quickly, if you blink, you could miss it. It is almost like it is "catching up". This happens even on the home screen, when nothing is running, so the system is not being tasked. The system responds normally, no sluggishness or anything, the screen just blanks out, then everything is up and running as if nothing ever happened. It is unpredictable, meaning it does not occur "every three minutes, five minutes, etc". I can say it happens probably once every ten minutes, but not on a regular, predictable pattern.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello E_Motuliki
If you can, try and put your iPhone into recovery mode and then use iTunes to restore it to see if it resolves all the issues that you are seeing with the service as well as the powering off.

Iphoto blanks out when editing

Another proof of why I have fear of Apple updates. On iPhoto, when editing a picture with Enhance feature it just blanks out (or blacks out) after using it, not for all pictures but most. Very frustrating. Any ideas out there? Thanks F

What does that have to do with your fear of updates?
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Safari keeps blanking out and phone returns to the desktop

hello...this problem just started over the weekend...
i keep losing my safari...it just blanks out and goes back to the desktop. i have to tap safari again, and the website reloads...
it happens most when i'm scrolling/flicking up or down on the page...
any info would be apreciated...thx

buj,
Try doing a hard reset of the phone and see if the issue continues:
Hard Reset: Hold Down the Home and Sleep button until you get a apple logo on the screen.
If the issue continues with safari on the iPhone, then you will need to restore the software on the phone.

Music Videos are blanking out

Hi Everyone,
I buy a lot of music videos from Itunes...and lately they have been blanking out on my screen. The music keeps playing, but the screen flicks all white, or goes black. If I move my mouse it comes on, but sometimes blanks again right after. I don't think it's a screen saver issue as it happens very quickly. Any thoughts or help is gratefully received.

my suggestion would be to re download the specific videos that this is happening to. As well make sure you have the latest version of itunes and quicktime. Maybe this will work. Give it a shot. hope all goes well.

Mail app is blank. I can not see any thing but a blank page with blue lined format. It does not shut down either. It just blinks out after a few seconds and the icon is there alone on my home screen then everything goes black and my home screen comes

MY Mail app does not respond in anyway to anything. The icon shows I have over 300 emails but I have no access to them. When I tap on the Mail icon a blank white page comes up with the blue format lines. No emails, no inbox, nothing, not a single letter of the alphabet is there. Within a few seconds it blinks out and I see the icon and my home screen. Soon it just blinks out to black. I am left with the icon at the bottom center of the screen. I have no way to shut it down. I have no access to the emails (300) in my inbox. All that is happening is my memory is getting filled up with emails. I would appreciate any solution to this problem barring deleting my email set up in settings.
if I have to resort to that I will, in the meantime I am hoping for a different resolution. Thanks everyone, you are all amazing and greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Diane.

Hey There Diane,
If I'm understanding your situation, you've got an iPad running iOS 6.1.3 and the Mail app is not working. I understand you don't want to remove and re-add your email account.
The first thing I would suggest is to make sure your iPad is backed up to iCloud or iTunes.
Do you have an iMAP or a POP email account? When you go online to your email service provider's website, are you able to access the 300 emails in your inbox?
Since the Mail app is part of your iOS operating system, upgrading that software to the latest version, which is 8.1.3 may resolve this issue.

If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Which camera are the camera raw files from?
After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
or
Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 32 bit)
replacing the existing camera raw 8bi?
