My phone suddenly went dark. But is still operational???

I was using my iphone as per regular and for reasons unknown the display shutoff and hard reseting it dosen't do a thing. The weird part is that it's still operational as my ringtone goes off when people call me. I'm trying to restore it from itunes but it prompts me to turn off findmyiphone via my iphone. That is not possible as the entire display is black. Help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Yourmaingotoguy,
Turning off Find My iPhone can also be achieved via iCloud.com, as detailed in the article linked below.

My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

HT4061 my screen went black but it still makes sounds?

my phone out of no where the screen went black yet I still hear text notifications

Hi there SofiVelez,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

I deregistered my phone number from imessage but am still not receiving texts on my android phone

I went the the deregistration process. This improved the annoyance but is still not fully resolved. I still am not getting texts in certain group message settings. The problem seems to be in group texts where everyone else is using imessage except me.

Hello Laurie33,
This can be accomplished by deactivating iMessage.
To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support.

MacBook Pro's dispaly suddenly went dark, why?

While I was doing research online, my MacBook Pro's screen suddenly went and stayed dark. There was no warning, no previous sign of trouble. The computer was plugged into to its AC power supply. I turned it off with the power button, waited a minute then turned it on again, the familiar chime signifying a healthy Mac sounded, but the display remained dark. I shut it down again, the restarted using the key combination for resetting the P RAM (command/option/p/r) the P RAM was reset several times (all with familiar healthy Mac chime) but the display remained dark. What's going on. Later I will attempt to start from a DiskWarrior DVD to help determine whether this is a software or hardware problem. (If the disk starts normally and the screen lights up that would indicate a software issue, if not then it would suggest a hardware problem. I would be most appreciative any insight or help. Thanks in advance

As the screen is dark all the time, I would say it is a hardware issue (it happens when OS X is not loaded too), probably referred to the display. However, I would recommend you to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller for a diagnose in order to know what it is failing in your MacBook Pro.

Why my phone suddenly went off?

my phone suddenly turned off and i cant turn it on now. can suggest me any tips?

Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.

Okay my Macbook Pro computer screen suddenly went black but it came back on once I clicked a key what does this mean?

I need some assistance I just bout a refurbished Macbook Pro 17 inch and i have had it for roughly 2 weeks. My computer screen suddenly went black and comes back on after I press a key. What is the matter I need help cause im starting to get upset

Hi,
is it possible that while working in photoshop, you accidentally hit this key-command?
Control+shift+eject
This instantly darkens your screen to black. When you hit any key, the screen comes back, the behaviour you describe.
(It's a handy thing when your boss comes in and you don't want him to see your "confidential information".)
Maybe there a key command in photoshop you used and you missed a key?
(Or something was pressing on the right top corner of your keyboard (the eject key) en you pressed ctrl-shift to execute some other keycommand)

Screen went black, but it still vibrates and sound.

I dropped my iphone 4, it automatically went black and I thought it turned off, but I pressed the lock button and it sounded like I locked it, if I press the screen I can hear the sound of buttons when you enter your passcode and all. But the screen is black.
I tried holding both buttons to reset it, but wont work at all.

You display has been nudged out of place or broken. You need service on the phone.

IPad suddenly went dark...

I was using my iPad and turned it off and put it in the case. A moment later, I retrieved iPad from its case and it is not responding. I have tried a hard reset, pressing the home key, attempted to sync it to my computer. it is not responding at all, to anything. the screen is dark. my computer is not recognizing it at all. I've had this iPad for 1 month, maybe. Any suggestions?

when I initially turned it off, I merely turned off the screen. I didn't fully shut the iPad off using the off button or the red slider. Technically, it should be on "stand by", right? I looked at the manual. Thank you for directing me to page 170. I pressed the "off" button and the "home" key simultaneously, and it rebooted, and is now syncing to the computer. I'm not really sure what happened there, but everything appears to be working fine, now. thank you.

HT3302 My phone got water damaged but it still functions well the speaker though did get damage unable to hear while placing a call. Is it fixible? i havent purchased the apple care warranty.

How much is the cost for repairing a device with water damage but has no apple care insurance.

deggie wrote:
For clarification Apple will do an out-of-warranty replacement for water damage regardless of the damage. If a truck runs over it and it is in many pieces in a bag they may not replace it.
deggie, sorry to disagree, but I've had Apple Stores tell me (as well as Apple's Repair Depot) that if the water damage has gotten too severe (such as causing excessive corrosion inside the device), they may opt not to allow the OOW replacement. It's always at Apple's final discretion whether or not a device is or is not BER (Beyond Economical Repair). Basically, if there's not enough worth to salvage from the device to make it worth Apple's time, they can refuse the OOW replacement.
It's wiser to prepare for the worst and then be delighted when the reality is better.

Horizontal flickering, screen goes black -but apps still operational?

I've gone through 10+ pages of postings in the iBook G4 display forum, and I can't find any problems that are exactly like mine...
Yesterday, the screen suddenly started getting noisy horizontal lines and flickering. But the applications remained operational the whole time. I closed them out one by one, and eventually the screen went black. Even then, iTunes continued to play - but I had to reboot.
Now it's happened several times since then. The time from flicker to black is shortening. Generally rebooting is no problem, but a couple of times it took about 15 min. before it would restart.
It's also not continuous. Right now I've been on the computer for an hour without incident, but I feel like I'm pressing my luck.
Currently I'm traveling in Thailand, heading to India next. There is an authorized service provider here in Chiang Mai, but I'd like to have an idea of what I might be looking at before I go in. I have about five days before I leave the country.
I still have 1.5 years on my warranty, but being overseas and trying to get this repaired is going to suck...
I'm freelancing while here, and this problem threatens my ability to work.
Any ideas? Is this a display issue or something else?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am having this same issue as well. The mac boots
fine, then the screen flickers and sometimes goes
grey. some times it comes up, sometimes it goes to a
grey screen. Most of the time I get the flickering
lines across the screen.
Help would be awesome!!
This morning I took the laptop to the authorized support center here in Chiang Mai, and within just a couple of hours they had an answer - a problem with the logic board. Good news - the replacement is covered by the warranty!
So you should take yours in ASAP -

A forwarding email address was deleted but is still operating?!

Until end of May this year I had 2 independent email addresses in use for @mac.com (access through iCloud) to forward messages to. One of these addresses had to be eliminated for practical purposes by 30th of May, but mail keeps being returned with error messages by postmasters and mailer daemons etc. referring to that account.
I cannot seem to stop mac.com to ignore that one obsolete address which, in fact, does not exist anymore (called "illegal" by some non-delivery notifications).
What on earth can I do to stop the usage of a no longer existant account??

Thank you! So far so good, I am aware that my previous setup was most likely done in MobileMe and I do remember that I "conveniently" ignored all the reminders that were being sent to make adjustments for the iCloud takeover ... it just didn't seem to apply to me; erroneous assumption as it turns out.
In the Mail preferences on the iCloud website I had entered two aliases for my mac account and added one additional outside mail account. I could not find any provision to actually forward to this address. If I did not eliminate the forwarding to the now "ghost" account, this apparently is still being used - and, as you already know, I want to desperately get rid of. I do not have AppleCare.
If I wish to go to http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
not having a contractI with AppleCare, will they still be able and willing to help? I cannot say that I am a great expert and feel a bit lost in my predicament.
Well, I guess I'll go the the cloud contact and see what I am told. I hope I only have to get back with you to let you have the 10 points ...

What should i do if my screen on my iphone 4 went black but my phone is still on and i cant reset it because my top power button has been jammed in for a while now?

what can i do? My iphone 4 screen went black but its still on. I know how to reset it but my top power button has been jammed in for months now. So does anyone know what i can do to try and get my screen back?

Bring your phone to Apple for evaluation and replacement. It's broken. There's no magic we can provide you.

IPad 1 Wifi / 3G Display sometimes goes dark but iPad is still seen by iTunes

Display sometimes goes dark but iPad still works and is still seen by iTunes. It can sometimes be fixed by rapidly hitting the power button and holding the home button.
Holding the home button and then pressing the power button ALWAYS takes a screenshot and I can hear the screenshot sound.
The screenshot it takes when dark 99% of the time is of the lock screen, but sometimes it takes a screenshot of a blank screen. Perhaps that is after the screen sleeps.
The problem is very intermittent; sometimes the display will work for weeks, sometimes for minutes. Started doing this out of the blue, no drops or bumps before it started.
Seems like possibly a connector or voltage issue?
I would say power button, but the power button ALWAYS works for screenshots.
Any ideas? Right now the display is not working and I'm having problems getting it back on.
I have tried opening the iPad and do not see anything out of the ordinary.
Any inexpensive recommended vendors that can repair this if a solution is not forthcoming?

the iPad doesn't have the feature to turn off 3G service and is searching for STRICTLY 3G coverages.
We need to ASK Apple to add this as a feature to ANY 3G iPads!!
