  • Since installing yosemite my computer/screen blacks out, but still running

    Since installing yosemite last week, my computer/screen blacks out, but still running. I have since rebooted everything, started from scratch and utilizing my external drive transferred all files/apps back. Did not help, in fact it is getting worse. Computer screen blacks out every 5 min or so and have to power up again. Also, continue to get Java message updates even after all have been updated over and over again. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Screen turns grey but can still see image

    Hi all,
    I don't really know how to explain this but recently I am getting this grey shading on my screen. I can still see the content if I tried to but it's really hard. At first I just wiggle my screen a bit or give it a tap around the screen then it will return back to normal. But the problem is getting worse and worse. Wiggling and tapping the screen doesn't really do the job anymore. I just got this new screen about a month ago under Apple's warranty. I'm thinking maybe when the technician installed the new screen, he didn't attach something secured enough and it has come lose.
    Anyone having similar problem or know what's going on? My warranty just expired 4 days ago.... Hope it's nothing major or I'm spending my own money :/
    Oh and I've been reading about snow leopard having screen issue.... not sure if this is related but I did upgrade to snow leopard.

    this sounds like the same problem i am having. for me, the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the screen will fade, like every other pixel is going white. then it will start turning grey. by the end its all dark shades of grey, but streaked vertically to match what's displaying on the upper part of the screen. the whole thing happens in a few seconds. the rest of my screen is fine. does this sound like your problem?
    if it helps, i bought the mac in 2007, and had to have the video card (i think) replaced because it had the problem of the screen staying black when opened from sleeping. if anyone has any advice, please let me (us) know. thanks

  • Screen is blacked out but calls and such still coming through...

    My screen is blacked out but I still hear texts, calls, alarms, etc coming through.  When I plug it in to my computer for a reset it doesn't identify the phone and there are no "portable devices" settings under "manage devices".  HELP please

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

    now you should see your phone should blacks out
    now again bring down your phone it should show the call screen (it should not blacks out) if this is happening then your phone is good
    if this is not the case then take to Apple store
    Hope your phone works ... njoy

    my iphone 5's screen blacks out every now and then. the phone is turned on but the screen is black and i can receive calls. what is wrong with my phone?

    I have to believe this has something to do with iOS 7 issues. I have taken my screen blacked out 5s twice to the Genius Bar and the found a bunch of system apps had crashed.  So if this is the case, is iOS7 the problem?

  • How to fix my iphone screen because it blacked out and it still works

    how can i fix my iphone screen .
    It blacked out but my phone still work help!!!!

    Hi zhamond,
    If your screen is black but the phone appears to still be responding, you may have inadvertently activated a feature known as Screen Curtains (part of the Accessibility functions). You may find the following information from the iOS manual helpful (pg 126):
    Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

  • My ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music

    my ipod screen blacked out and wont let me see anything but it will play music. how can i fix it or cani get a new one?

    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    If not under warranty, Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    A third-party place might be less expensive. Here is one. Google for more.

  • Screen blacks out after a few seconds and won't return to normal state.

    I have the 30 gig ipod photo that i got about a year and a half ago. Whenever I look at the screen to access music or anything, the screen blacks out like there's a screensaver or something and won't return back to normal. Even after I reset it, it stays normal for a few seconds and then blacks out again. The backlighting still works so it's just a bright black screen and I have function of the click wheel because it clicks everytime I move up or down. I already tried restoring it so I am all out of options. Anyone PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks
    Steve

    This happens rarely but consistently! I't seems to happen about 5% of the time waking from sleep. It MAY be more prone to happen if I had been moving with it in my bag, but it can happen at any waking time after any duration of sleep.

  • E6-00, Screen blacks out as soon as a call is rece...

    I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who has asked me to take a look at their E6-00 which has a problem that when a call is received the screen blacks out instantly and therefore she can't see the caller display.
    I've read elsewhere that it is an issue with the proximity sensor on the front of the device but nowhere states if there is a definitive fix for the problem.
    This did not happen prior to the phone being upgraded to Anna. I have since upgraded it again to Belle in the hope that this will remedy the issue but it's still happening.
    Can anyone advise if their are any OTA updates or downloads that will sort this out or is it just a "live with it" firmware flaw?

    Try do the soft reset (Restore Factory Settings in the Settings). If it still doesn't work well, try to do the hard reset. Before doing this, please create a backup as the hard reset will remove all your files.
    If the hard reset does not even help, you may have to take the phone to the nearest Nokia Care.
    Let me know if it works.
    If I have helped you in any way, give me a kudos!

  • Nokia 2610 Screen Blacks Out

    could someone please let me know how to stop my 2610 screen "going black" after about 25 seconds. It seems to be a sort of power / screen saver mode.

    I have the same problem and have set the both power saver and sleep mode off, but still the screen blacks out.
    Any real solution ?
    Thanks
    I think thats the power save mode which is a builtin feature of this phone, i have a nokia 2626 but it doesnt seem to have this. maybe if a firmware update can take care of this issue
    the conenctivity of 2610 is fine but 2626 isnt connecting either by Nokia pc suite or Mobimb 3.2

  • 14" iBook screen blacks out

    This is the third time it's done it today and the 5th time ever. My AppleCare ran out the middle of March, so I guess they are right on in determining when it's time to get a new computer.
    When it blacks out, it just goes immediately, no flickering, no warning whatsoever. I can still see the desktop underneath the black and I can still move the cursor. I don't know anything what the insides are like, but the apple light on the top of the case goes out when the screen blacks out.
    When I closed the top and opened it again, it brought the screen back up right away. But this last time, it took a few closing and openings to get it to come back up, making me think it's going to get worse.
    Last week was the first time it ever went black. I initially thought it was falling in to sleep mode and held down the power key to get it to reboot. I'm pretty sure sleep has nothing to do with it, but I set my display to not go to sleep at all today to find out. It's blacked out twice since.
    I don't use a screen saver, it's happened on battery and power adapter. Other people have mentioned the fan not running, I can't remember ever hearing my fan run or else it's just so quiet I can't tell the difference between it and the hard drive.
    My iBook is a late 2004 model 14" 1.33 and, I just upgraded to Tiger (coincidence?) There have been no other problems to speak of other than the keyboard losing letters, battery needing to be replaced and the usual airport glitches. It hasn't been dropped or spilled on. Any suggestions on how to fix this and what I might be looking at when/if taking apart the screen?

    It sounds like you might have a bad inverter cable, especially since it is affected by the position of the display. I think this is just a mechanical failure of the cable caused by many openings and closings of the display.
    You might check out the troubleshooting section of the ifixit site and read about the inverter cable and see if it sounds like what is happening to you. I gather it is a real job to replace it. Ifixit and Powerbookmedic would be two good resources:
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/
    Since the job is considered very difficult, I'm not sure there are any instructions on how to do this on these sites. But there is another manual that might be helpful:
    http://node123.cit.geneseo.edu/~stratton/ServiceManuals/
    This is just the index. You will have to find the one for your iBook. Powerbookmedic also has a good manual.
    It may also be possible to repair the cable, but I don't know. Spudnuty is the real expert here, and hopefully he will see this and be able to offer you more specific advice.
    Good luck!
