My screen shut off but my iPhone is still on. What can I do?????????

Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

After I upgrade maverick my display will suddenly shut off but my sounds is still working. Need help on this? Thank you

Hello rodamitjr,
It sounds like your iMac display will turn off unexpectedly, but you can tell the computer is still on because you hear audio.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays. This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display. I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me for the issue you described:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.

I want to print a downloaded samsung microwave oven manual.

I have just become a adobe subscriber for one year at euro 24,95 however this does not help me at all....what to do now ?
plse advise
i need your help please !!!!!!
i just paid 24,95 euro to get my downloaded samsung manual printed !
But this does not help
i still cannot pringt

First, I suggest that you cancel your ExportPDF subscription since you do not need it.
You can cancel a subscription within the first 30 days of purchase and get a full refund. To cancel a paid subscription, sign in to your My Adobe account and select the subscription you want to cancel. Under Subscription Info, turn the Auto-renewal setting to ‘Off’. You can continue to use the online service until the end of the billing cycle.
If the Samsung manual is in PDF format (I assume that it is), you should be able to open it in, and print it from, the (free) Adobe Reader, which you can download here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/
I don't know what you meant by, "the 3.0."

My iphone 5 was recently stolen. I had the service shut off, but I don't know how to remotely wipe out my data from my phone! Please help!!

YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that.

Hi my friend gave me his iphone 1 today and its stuck at the apple boot logo. Some times it automatically shuts off but about a second later is comes back on. The home button and the power button seem to not be responsive. Thanks for the help.

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

Problem: Screen Shuts Off For No Reason

I have the new iPhone 3G.
My screen shuts off (the screen turns black, but the phone is still on...like if you shut the monitor off on a desktop PC while the tower is still on) randomly which requires me to do a hard reset (holding the sleep button at the top of the phone and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears).
This happens without warning when I do the following:
1. During a call, when I need to use the keypad, put a call on hold, activate speakerphone, etc. the screen will stay black and will not turn on when I touch it. This means I can't even end a call unless the caller hangs up. It is clear that the phone is still on (I can hear the caller at the other end), but I cannot use the screen at all. The screen comes back on when I put the phone back up to my ear, but then when I pull it away to touch the screen it goes black again.
2. After I complete a call, the screen will shut off before I can press the "end call" button. Even after the call is terminated from the other end, I cannot make the screen come back on.
3. After the screen automatically goes to sleep (goes black), I cannot make it come back on.
In all 3 of these instances, I use a hard reset to make the screen come back on. In the first instance that I listed, I have to do a hard reset during the call in order to disconnect the call and get the screen to come back on.
These problems do not happen during/after every single call. For example, sometimes it will be after one call, other times it will be after five calls. It happens without warning and without reason. It is very inconvenient because I am resetting my phone several times a day. When I call customer service lines (for any company), I can't use the keypad to do things such as "Press 1 for English" without doing a hard reset in the middle of the call and calling back several times until it works.
I would really appreciate it if you could offer some advice on how to fix this problem.
Thank you.

I had the same problem, and a very helpful person in another thread suggested I try removing the phone from the case, as it's probably blocking the little sensor next to the earpiece. When it's close to your head, the display shuts off (because, naturally, you're not using the screen). When you take it away, the screen should pop up. If that sensor is blocked, the thing thinks it's still next to your head.
I'm going to experiment without the case for a few days. if it's fixed, great. If it's not, I'm taking the stupid thing back to the Apple Store. We'll see.
Course, if you don't have a case... I'd say either attempt to erase and restore it from within iTunes or get on the horn with Apple support.

Freezing when screen shuts off

When my macbook has its screen shut off, I am unable to turn it back on. It isn't in sleep mode. When I press a button or anything, the screen stays black. Closing the cover when it's like this doesn't put it to sleep. It usually happens when I have a Firefox or Chrome window open. How can I fix this?

My issue is resolved. Turns out I had a defective unit. Swapped it out last night, and it's working fine now. Got the yellow box this time. First one had the black slip cover.
The swap was a bit of a hassle. I had purchased from an Absolute Wireless store in Garner, NC. That's a third party reseller. They made me drive across town to a Sprint service center to have a technician "certify" the defect before they would replace it. And of course, the service center couldn't do the replacement, so I had to drive back across town to point of purchase after they certified it. Best of all, the "certification" process involved me explaining the problem to the technician for about a minute, her agreeing with me that it was a malfunction, and her writing her employee ID on the back of a business card for me to take back to the first store. She didn't even turn the phone on herself. She pretty much said the guy at Absolute Wireless was being a **bleep** in sending me to her in the first place b/c we could have just done this over the phone. PITA. But whatever, I guess that's what I get for not buying directly from Sprint.

Need to shut off Find My iPhone!

I am using my old iPhone 4 for music and am having a lot of error messages pop up every 5 seconds or less. I have found I need to shut off Find My iPhone to fix this, but the old (wrong) email is entered and none of my passwords accepted. Any ideas on how to shut it off?

FW 31.0.017 problem - Screen shut-off

I have a very irritating problem after the up-grade to 31.0.017.
Closing the slide of my N95 causes a momentary 45 degree scew of the display and then the screen shuts off completely. The phone is still on and recieves calls etc. but the display remains off. Opening the slide (in either dirrection) switches the screen back on again after a short delay.
I have tried numerous resets (hard and soft) and reinsalations (NSU) but no joy!
The old question arises - is there a way to reinstal 30.0.015?
My advice right now is don't update yet if you have an old N95 RM-159 (0534841)!
Anyone experienced the same - any solutions???

Out of curiousity... is the phone being de-branded? De-branding the phone might caused the bugs since HW not supported by FW...
