Hi, i've just updated my iphone 5s to ios7.1 two weeks ago, however, 4 days ago, my phone's screen turned blue then grey. I have tried restoring it through i tunes but itunes keep saying error 40. Can this still be fixed? or does it need a replacement?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Was the computer used to jailbreak a different iOS device? Are you trying to forcibly install a version of iOS other than the current version for your device? (4.2.1 for the 3G, 6.0.1 for the 4 and 4S, 6.0.2 for the 5).
Those are the only other reasons you would get that error other than an extremely rare hardware failure.

Forgot password.Tried to wipe by using Find my iPhone but won't connect to wifi even though it is turned on in the lock screen.Then tried to restore through iTunes but couldn't because Find my iPad on. Removed the iPad but iTunes still not working. Help!

My daughter stopped using her iPad when she got an iPhone for Christmas. It has been over one month and she has forgotten her passcode. I tried to wipe it via Find my iPhone but it won't connect to the wifi even though wifi is switched on on the lock screen. I then tried to restore it through iTunes but was unable to becuase Find my iPhine was switched on so I removed the iPad from the device list only to find that it didn't solve anything with the iTunes situation and it still won't connect to the wifi. I ahve tried turning wifi on and off, tried leaving the house and re-entering all to no avail. Is there any other way to restore the iPad????

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note: Data will be lost

My screen turned blue then shut off on it's own and will not come back on even after a recharge ??

My screen on my 4th generation ipod touch turned blue shut off automatically & wouldn't come back on,tried recharging over night no change?? Unable to fine my serial number because it will not turn on and back number is rubbed off?

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If not successful time for an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store.
To find SN see:
iPod: How to find the serial number
Also, if you go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and hover the mouse pointer over the iPod backup the SN will appear..
Also, if you go to iTunes>Help and click on About iTunes with the Control button pressed, the SN will scroll in the About iTunes panel.

My iphone 4s froze last night and won't do anything. I have iOS7, my power button is not working, so I can't reset my phone. I've tried to restore through iTunes, but it's telling me to turn off find my phone. I can't do that if my phone does nothing

I've tried all that I know how to do. My power button quit working awhile ago so I use the Assistive Touch to lock my screen. Once my phone froze, the screen went black. The only thing I can do now on my phone is hold down the home key and Siri will beep but she says "not taking requests at this time, try again later." I can't reset my phone without the power key or the Assistive Touch button. I've tried plugging into iTunes to restore the phone but I get an error message to first go to Settings in my phone and turn off "find my iPhone." I can't do that either as nothing will come up on my screen.

Make sure iTunes is up to date and try again.

I have a white screen on my ipod. i have tried pushing the two buttons at same time but it doesn't work. i tried restoring on itunes but can't because of the password on ipod

My ipod 4th gen. has a white screen. i have tried pushing the two buttons but it didn't work.    I have tried to restore on i tunes but because there is a pass code on the ipot, it won't let me. Any ideas?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Iphone 5 Screen turns blue then shuts off

My phone is only a month old and it randomly gets a blue screen and then restarts

Take it to an Apple store for diagnosis and likely replacement.

I have a 32in 1080p Sony Bravia. and a early 2009 iMac 20in. i bought a mini Dvi to HDMI adaptor. And i have the HDMI cable. but every time i connect my iMac with my Tv my iMac screen turns blue then back to the desktop.

i also click on detect displays and nothing happens.

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the TV hooked up to the MacBook and both screens working. Do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.

Try using this tool to search for apps which are compatible with older iPhones:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
I did a search for GPS and founds lots of compatible apps. You might try typing GPS -tomtom to eliminate the tomtom apps.
WhatApp isn't compatible with the older devices, but enter Texting in the search box to find many texting apps which should work.

When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login. What should I do?

I was having some problems with my mac, safari and itunes was freezing alot. I have to force shutdown and when I tried to start up again i get to the login page, type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue for a few seconds and it goes back to the log in screen. What should I do?
Please Help!!

Somewhat similar problem:
Put in the password, hit enter, the screen goes blue for half a second, then goes back to login screen and carries on logging in as usual. Drives me mad. It doesn't happen with a fresh Lion installation, nor if booted into safe mode. On the machine in question it also happens to new user accounts.
I've removed all login items, including Startup Items and Launch Demons (pun intended) and Agents, I've compared system login plists with a fresh Lion installation - can't see differences. I've removed Little Snitch and PeerGuardian (no more third party kexts).
@Carolyn: I've done disk maintenance with DiskUtility and fsck and even DiskWarrior, cleaned caches, etc. etc.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Sorry for trying to hijack the thread (as it's not about Lion), but it seemed dead anyway.

Iv tryed this numerious times still keeps going back to pasword. Can not get any further. Tried restart holding shift key.. still nothing. What do i do?

Thank you for your help.
I couldnt get to the hard drive/ desktop. Soft login not even working. So i could not do any of that.
In the end i took it to Apple and its actually the hard drive on its way out. A common issue with that series of Mac. Funny seeing i dont use this mac much. However being 2.5 years old and out of warrently, Apple have recognise this issue with this series/ Model and installing a new hard drive at no cost.
Very luck and greatful. And not feeling so dumb that it was something i did or could troubleshoot myself.
Hope this helps others that it just might be your hard drive failing.

I tried to update my ipod 4th gen. but when I came to see how much charge the screen was red and it wasnt charged and i cant use my ipod. the screen turned blue also one time, and now the apple logo comes up and its bright then dim and it stays there help

I tried to update my iPod 4th generation while it was charging and when I came back to check on it the screen was red and it wouldnt go off, and my ipod wasnt charging like it was supposed to. I found out how to get the color of the screen off but my ipod always has the low battery thing and when I charge it sometimes the screen turns blue or the apple logo comes up bright and then it gets dim and stays there. My ipod wont turn on, and I really want it to work again. Help me please! Also, I noticed my ipod battery hasnt been lasting long as it should efore this happened.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I was trying to update to iOS 6 then I thought it was done so i left the wifi but now my screen turns blue and i cant use it.

Hi clarity,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first try removing and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes by following the steps in this article:

If you continue to receive the error message when connecting your iPod, see this article for more troubleshooting tips:
