My MacBook air's screen has gone black, how can I fix or reset it?
MY macbook airs screen has gone black and won't come back on. The keyboard still lights up. When I turn it off and back on it makes the start up sound, but not a thing comes up on the screen. No idea what else to do. Please help.
Try the fn key (bottom right) and the F2 key (top left) together and step up the brightness.

I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?
I Just purchased a used MacBook Air but it has no OS, how can I re-load the OS?
It depends on which operating system was on it when it was released. Older MBAs need disks or a special thumb drive to boot for OS recovery.
Let’s assume it is new enough that it has a recovery partition built in. You can try this and see if it works and if it doesn’t work then it is old enough to need he aforementioned recovery media.
It is simple. First you format the system disk and then you install OS X.
You will need to be in an area with a good wireless Internet signal.
Boot in Recovery Mode:
Power it on and when you hear the bong hold down the Command and R keys simultaneously.
Format the system disk:
> Disk Utility
> Select your system drive.
> Partition
> Partition Layout: 1 Partiton
> Options...
> GUID Partition Table
> OK
> Name: Macintosh HD
> Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
> Apply
> Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility
Install OS X:
> Click on Install OS X and follow the instructions. -

My iTunes has gone transparent - how can I fix it?
When I load up iTunes I can see all of words but no background, its impossible to use! Please help.Glad to hear you got things working again, Claire.
I had an IT friend of mine come over and it turns out it was the firewall, it wouldn't let iTunes have access to certain things so he granted it permission and it was instantly fixed.
Thank you kindly for reporting back about your resolution. Apologies for the nosy question, but which make of firewall are you using? (Although I've seen firewall permissions implicated in other iTunes problems, I hadn't seen one associated with a "transparent" iTunes before ... so I was thinking it might be worth checking on the possibility with other folks reporting a transparent iTunes where the DirectX and/or video drivers don't seem to be involved.) -

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. -
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...

My ipad 2 screen has gone black
My ipad 2 screen has gone black. The only thing that shows is the circular processing icon. I have tried turning it off and on and it won't even do that. Any ideas? Thank you!
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

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.
