Safari on iPhone 5S stops playback once screen goes dark

This is very annoying. Any time I try to play a track form a website the playback stops when I go to a different app or when screen goes dark or when I lock the screen. I have tried reseting all settings etc etc. Nothing seem to cure this. Is this a known bug? Anyone else has this problem? The same happens if I play an embeded track via Facebook, which basically launches safari and starts playback. Once the screen is dark the playback stops.

Hi
Try holding sleep/wake + power button for 10 seconds, until you see the Apple Logo.
See how that goes.

Rental movie on i pad stops playing, then screen goes dark. any solution?

rental movie on i pad stops playing, then screen goes dark. any solution?

Quit the video app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the video app icon to close it. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try the app again and see if the movie is there and will play.
If that didn't work - Search for the movie. From the home screen swipe to the right and the Spotlight Search feature will appear. Type the name of the movie in the field at the top, if the movie shows up in the search, tap on the icon and hopefully it will begin to play. Let it play for a few minutes then tap Done. Return to the video app and see if it is in there now.
If that doesn't help - reset the iPad - hold down on the sleep andhomee buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad restart and try the video again.

Audiobook stops playing when screen goes dark

When I'm listening to an audiobook on my iPhone4, the sound fades when the screensaver goes dark. I don't recall this being an issue before, but suddenly the only way I can keep the book playing is to keep the screen saver active. I'm using the OverDrive Media app from my local library, and I can't find any settings that have changed. Any suggestions?

Go to your PC's settings and turn off sleeping, or put a longer time before it goes to sleep.

Screen Goes Dark During iPhone Sync

This sounds strange and I can't seem to find a logical explanation for this. I noticed that I went I plug my iPhone via USB for iTunes to automatically synch, within seconds the screen goes dark. What I have been doing lately is to rest the phone on top of the MacBook Pro, just left of the trackpad. I have also noticed that if I just place the iPhone elsewhere, rather than laying directly on the MacBook Pro, the problem doesn't happen.

That's where the magnetic sensor for the lid is located. It causes the computer to think that it is closed! Now, an iPhone doesn't have a magnet, except in the speaker, so maybe that's what happens. Our your case has a magnet.
I hope this answers your question.

TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

IPhone 3GS screen goes dark...no apparent fix for it

My iPhone 3GS has started having a problem where the screen goes dark. The phone is still active and if you have the right light and strain real hard you can barely see the icons. I have tried everything I know to fix this but nothing works. One thing that did work for about a day was a Reset All Settings, from the General Settings menu. Previous to doing that, I have tried: 1) turn it on and off, 2)hard reset, 3)restore from iTunes. None of these worked for more than a few minutes. I did restore firwmare from the computer but I have not tried putting the iPhone into DFU mode...is there a difference?
Any ideas appreciated.

All iPhones require a SIM for updating/activating.
The SIM does not need to be active, simply insert a SIM card and activate the device. Borrow a SIM from a friend if necessary.

Several times over the last few days while on safari my iPad spontaneously shuts off screen goes dark then goes to home screen what's going on and how do I fix it when I look at settings diagnostics it says that there is low memory ?

Safari crashes several times while on pinterest, screen goes black then goes to home screen when I start safari again it keeps doing the same thing. I checked the diagnostics page and there are several references stating low memory yet when I check the memory on the iPad there is plenty of memory help please

The memory that is low is the processor memory, not the overall storage space. Next time, before you go to that site, double tap the home button to see the task bar. You will see the list of apps siting in the recently used list. Most of them are not doing anything, but some of them are using up memory. Touch and hold any one of them until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.
Do that every so often to help the pad use it's memory wisely.
Some apps, and browser pages use a lot of memory, and do not give it back easily, causing what sis happening to you.
You can also get a similar result by rebooting. Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.

Itunes stops playing and the screen goes dark

Hi, I have macbook pro 13" and had never experienced this until yesterday and today. The itunes stops playing music, the screen goes dark and it's still charging. Has anyone experienced it?

Boot from you install disc, run Disk Utility. The startup disk may need repairing.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Computer screen goes dark (stops)after latest update.

After my latest update,computer crashes,screen goes dark,using wireless mouse;difficult to restart.
Is it 6.3 or the mouse?

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
Then, download the 10.6.3 Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
You can install it right over what you already have.

How can I stop screen going dark when playing movies with night sceans?

When viewing a NetFlix movie, during night sceans, the screen goes dark.

You don't.
Usually only the free apps do this, paid versions do away with the ads.

MacBook Air Boots to OS, then screen goes dark.

I have recently been working on an older style (A1304) MacBook Air with the 128GB SSD. I've been working on Mac's for years, and have worked on hundreds, but this is the first time I've ever come across this particular issue.
Liquid damaged MacBook Air. Keyboard and Trackpad mainly took the brunt of the spill. Popped off the keys, cleaned it all up. Button for the trackpad no longer works, but everything else does. Entire computer was disassembled, no other liquid was found.
MacBook Air boots up normally, and I was using it for a few hours to make sure everything was working fine. Left it to charge. Came back two hours later, and the screen was dark (but the image was still visible, as if the backlight was not on). Could see the mouse pointer moving, but backlight won't come back on. Turned off computer, turned it back on. Backlight works just fine, and it boots to the OS. Within 10 seconds of booting to OS, the screen goes dark (screen goes completely black with no image). Couple seconds later, light on the front starts to "breathe" indicating it's sleeping. Wake it back up, and image appears on the screen, but no backlight. Then it "goes to sleep" again.
Boot computer to a Flash Drive with Snow Leopard Installer and once the blue screen comes on as if the installer is just about to pop up, it "goes to sleep" immediaetly. Though, the backlight and computer will stay on in the Apple Hardware Test for as long as I want. (ran it several times, "no trouble found". Also reset the PRAM, nothing helps.
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this. Completely baffled on whether it's a software or hardware (or combination of the both) issue I'm having.

The keyboard and trackpad reside on top of the motherboard and all the components of the computer. The keyboard and trackpad are not liquid proof. It is VERY likely that the liquid made its way to the motherboard and has affected those components. If EVER there is liquid spilled on a computer, the last thing you want to do is A. Turn it on to make sure it is working.. and B. Plug it in and charge it. Do the EXACT opposite. Unplug and turn off all power, and, if possible, remove the battery from it. The liquid itself doesnt do the damage...the damage is done when the liquid comes in contact with the circuits and shorts out the contacts and components. You could try to connect to an external monitor, if you have the means to do so, to see if it makes a difference, but it probably will not. I seems that the motherboard is not functioning correctly.

6288 - screen goes dark after 15 seconds

Hi
Have just purchased a 6288. Screen goes dark after 10 - 15 seconds if you don't touch the keypad - very annoying if reading a message. Have turned Power saver and sleep mode off, but screen still goes dark. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
Thanks

Yes it is quite annoying. The screen saver time out does little to remedy this. A way around it that I use is to reassign the navikeys. you can dictate what each button does :go to menu > settings > my shortcuts > navigation key. my up goes to contacts, left goes to new message, right goes to music player and down does nothing. so every time the screen goes black, I just hit the down key to turn it back on.
