  • Ipod touch 4 has a black screen with white and green lines across it and wont turn off

    My sons ipod touch has a black screen with sometimes white lines and then flashes to colored lines. Also when i try to turn it off it turns right back on and has the apple symbol but then goes back to black screen with lines. what to do?

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Black screen with white line after dropping

    MY husband dropped his iPhone and now it has a black screen with a white line from top to bottom. The phone can take calls but the screen never changes. Is this a screen problem that would be fixed if we replace it or is it something internal? He can press buttons but it only does the emergency call and then you can hear a bunch of buttons being pressed even though he isn't touching the screen. Any help would be great!!

    You obviously broke the screen when the phone was dropped.  Apple doesn't repair the screen on an iPhone 4; it will replace the phone for $149.

  • Unable to restore iTouch, stuck on black screen with white apple

    Hello to any and all that can offer me assistance:
    I have an iPod Touch.  I have restored it more than once.  It will show the screen with the USB cord and the iTunes logo. After the restoration process the computer screen will say that the restoration was completed and my iTouch will turn back on to be recognized by iTunes in 10 seconds.  That never happens.  Instead I get the black screen with the white apple.  It will stay on then flick off after about 20 seconds repeatedly.
    I have tried uninstalling all Apple files and re-downlading them.  I have tried letting it die then charging it.  I was getting error 1611 so I disabled my security software and did the restore again. I have deleted and readded the file in the folder for iPod software updates.  I have held the shift key when pressing restore in iTunes and selected the newly downloaded iOS/firmware.  I unplugged it from the front USB port on my tower to a slot on the back.  I unplugged and restarted my pc with nothing plugged into the USB ports other than the iTouch cord, my mouse and keyboard.
    All have failed.  Once - out of no where - I thought that I had gotten lucky because it was back to factory defaults.  I added my apps and music to it.  Once I unplugged it from my PC within minutes it died and started doing the flicker on and off again.
    What else can I try? I am frustrated and running out of ways to google and review other discussions on the Apple site on how to repair it. I don't know what generation it is.  I've owned it for maybe 2 years.  It's a 32g iTouch.
    Please help if you can! :-)
    Thx,
    HunyB

    Are you referring to when i hold down the circle button until it restarts? I've tried that.  I always get back to the screen with the USB cord pointing toward the iTunes logo.  While still holding the button i plug it in to the USB cord.  I do the restoration....it shows a little icon that are small lines like sunrays that light up like it;s about to restart.....then it gots back to the flickering. ;-(

  • Black screen with white line

    I have a late 2009 Macbook.  Ocasionally when i open it up, i get a black screen with a bright white line at the bottom of the monitor.  Rebooting and closing the laptop doesn't change anything.  I can connect it to an external display and the display appears pefectly on the other screen, while the mac remains black with a white line at the bottom.  If i take off the bottom cover plate, and touch a new random things, the screen will return to normal, but flicker initially. This has now happened 3 times, and i can't seem to make any sense of it.  After reading online i can't see to find any problems on this MC207ll/a macbook.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Itunes 7.0.1.8 / xp --- momentary black screen w/white lines at startup

    I upgraded to itunes 7.0.1.8 about a week ago. It's been fine, except now when I start up itunes a black screen with white lines flashes momentarily, then everything reverts back to normal. I'm pretty sure it just started happening in the last couple days. Also, I just noticed that it only seems to happen when itunes starts up maximized. Otherwise, it's fine. The only thing out of the ordinary that I've done recently is to run an old DOS game that I never ran before. I guess I'm concerned that maybe the game may have done something to cause this. Anyone else out there getting the black screen with white lines at start up?
    Thanks.

    UPDATE/EDIT FROM PREVIOUS POST:
    Ok. The new 7.0.18 does repair the volume slider audio issue. HOWEVER, Simply installing the new update (at least for me) did **NOT** fix the problem. After posting my previous post, I tried to remove Quicktime and iTunes completely and try reinstalling.
    It turns out that when I uninstalled Quicktime from Add/Remove Programs, it didn't remove all the Quicktime files and it was not reinstalling Quicktime afterwards!!
    I only noticed when I downloaded the standalone version of Quicktime and tried running it and it said a "newer version" was on my computer, though it did not show up on my Add/Remove Programs file listing.
    So I looked in the usual places and found that I had a Quicktime folder remaining in the Program Files folder and one in the C:\Windows\system32 folder. I also had to manually remove the following files from the C:\Windows\system32 folder:
    Quicktime.qts, QuickTimeMusicalInstruments.qtx, the Quicktime.Resources folder, QuicktimeVR.qtx and the QuickTimeVR.Resources folder.
    The main problem is that iTunes didn't let me know there was an issue with the QuickTime installation. It just wouldn't run iTunes. There should have been a notification.
    Anyway, after all this, I reinstalled iTunes fresh and checked the volume slider and LO' And Behold! The volume slider issue was repaired.
    However, there is a LOT of skipping occurring that never happened before. Not sure what's up with that. CPU usage stays low and then I get a few skips per minute...UNACCEPTABLE!!! That didn't happen before and that issue will still need to be fixed. Until then, back to WinAmp. Thx a LOT Apple...you *#^@ing hosers!

  • Ipad  has black screen with white bar

    My ipad2's screen has gone blank. after leaving it uncharged for a good 18 hours. I switched it on to see a blank, black sceen with a white bar moving downwards accross the screen this fades to black.
    I have tried charging it for a good 7 hours as I thought maybe the battery has run down and caused this.
    I have also tried resetting by pressing the on/off and home button together for 10-15 secs but no luck.
    My ipad still synches to my imac okay. I have restored it to factory settings. This didn't help the problem either.
    This actually happened when first took the brand new ipad out of the box and tried turning it on for the first time. But it revived itsself after synching to my imac and being on charge for a few minutes. The support technition I spoke to  at the time didnt really know why it did this but suggested it was a very low batterry issue. Although I am inclined to think its something else, now its happened again and charging does not seem to work.
    Has anyone had the same problem? If so what did you do? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be gratefully recieved.
    Thanks
    P.S. I am running iOS 4.3.3 on my ipad. However its not an available option in the OS dropdown for this discussion. hmmm!

    I Don't know if this will work for anyone else but just FYI - after loading 8.1 on my iPad it froze for several hours on the black screen with white Apple and progress bar underneath. It would not do anything.  I thought I was doomed.  I accidentay left it sitting overnight without plugging it Back into the charger. I meant to but got sidetracked and thought it was plugged in. During the night the battery was totally drained so this morning my iPad was dead. I plugged it into the charger and after a few minutes the battery icon came up showing it was charging. I gave it about 30 minutes and then turned it on and the new operating system came up. It looks like it might be ok now.  I can't say I recommend this, but it worked for me.

  • 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!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

  • Black screen with white apple logo won't go away! Help please.

    Last night I turned theipod completeley off and restarted it. The black screen with the white apple logo came on and hasn't went of since.
    I've tried everything I could find in the forums and on the support page.
    iTunes will not recognize my ipod which has continously tried to start up again every 5 minutes.
    I don't know what more to do, ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dana

    I did try that. When I do that the red slider bar to turn the ipod off doesn't come up.
    Its still trying to reset itself but won't go any farther than the black screen with white apple.
    Thanks

  • Black screen with white writing on boot - then nothing...

    Ok, this is a long story, but here's the abridged version;
    I have a mac mini - the old PPC version. It has just come back from being repaired - replacement logic board. However, repaired it is not. Every time i try to start it up, I get a brief white screen with grey apple logo as normal, and then a black screen with white writing on. The writing is exactly the same text as you can see in the console system log. It gets about a page-full through this, and then goes completely black. No video at all.
    However, the machine is still working in there - I know this because I'm typing on it now via VNC. It is perfectly happy and all. It just does this weirdness start up and then no video.
    My question is twofold:
    1. The company that repaired it claims that it booted fine before they gave it back to me; however, it hasn't since I've had it back. Could the boot behaviour be some kind of diagnostic thing they left on my machine, or a mode they left it in. If so, how do I get rid of it?
    2. Failing this, does it sound like my vidoe card packed up maybe?
    Thoughts, solutions, etc., most welcome!

    Have you
    tried to simply do a clean install of Mac OS X and
    your other software? I normally find that this fixes
    90%+ of all unexplained software related issues.
    I could, but (a) I'm not convinced it's not related to the replacement logic board and thus a hardware issue, and (b) I can't see to do a clean install because it has no video signal

  • Black MacBook with white cables?

    Sorry if this has been answered before, but I am really curious if apple has an explanation as to why they shipped the Black MacBooks with white cables and a white remote.
    I find this annoying.

    you serious man? you're quote their 80s models as an
    rebuttal? sorry, the recent motiff for apples has
    been white (their laptops/ipods/imacs)
    I can't help it if "always" to you only means the last seven or so years. My last powerbook was grey.
    if you think the choice to include a white powercord
    was a deliberate aesthetic choice (and not a matter
    Snip
    I was just asking. If I had an idea why then I wouldn't have posted the question.
    basically to me this is such an asenine aspect to
    worry about that its ability to "annoy you" just
    perplexes me
    Uh, I'm really unconcerned with what perplexes you. I am perplexed as to why they would ship a black computer with a different color accessories. If price actually IS the reason for this and not just a guess on your part then answer the question. If you don't know then don't answer it.
    Now you are beginning to annoy me.
