Screen goes black occasionally when using

When I am using Ipad 2 The screen goes black, an apple soon appears, about 3 minutes ,
Later the slider appears and I can open. I have tried resetting , but it always returns,

What are you doing when you get the black screen? Any particular app or game or site? Any commonality with crashes can lead to an idea of what is messing with your device.

Cannot wake up after screen goes black occasionally since update to maverick

Cannot wake up after screen goes black occasionally since update to maverick. I have to wait a few mintues and press power button to restart. Any one has similar issue?

I've found the problem!!
Mavericks for some reason overheats the GPU.
I downloaded a free 3 day trial of Temperature Gauge Pro http://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/
It showed a GPU 0 diode temperature of 122 degrres C. I think that's about 250 degrees Farenhiet. Insanely hot. No wonder the poor thing was crapping out. TGP alows fan control and so I set them to maximum and watched the temp come down quickly.
After all these months of frustration it turned out to be a simple fix. So I bought the program for $10. Sure a lot cheaper than having the Apple Experts replace a GPU or CPU like some have sugested.
What I still can't figure out is why Apple won't fix the problem from thier end and just update the fan parameters on Mavericks.

IPhone 3GS works fine, unless I the screen goes black after no use. Then I'm stuck on the white screen until I reset the phone.

The title kind of sums it up. After having my 3GS for over a year without issue, it started acting up today. I had my phone on my desk at work, and had been checking my e-mail, news, and web intermittently throughout the morning. I set the phone down, in it's typical spot without issue. No dropping, no hits, no...nothing. Just set it on the desk and go about my work.
The next time I pick up the phone to use it, and hit the button, I'm greeted with an all-white screen. WTH? If I press and hold the home button the phone makes a "dunk" soud, like maybe I'm enabling the voice feature. Long story short, I can restart the phone, and reset the phone, and it's fine.
UNTIL the screen goes dark from inactivity. From that point on, it will ONLY come back in the full-white-screen mode UNTIL I reboot it again, in which case it's again functioning normally...UNTIL the screen goes black from inactivity. I can hear the phone make text-alert noises as texts come in, my e-mail continues to download regularly, etc. But it stays stuck in this white screen anytime the battery saver turns the screen black.
Any ideas on this?

So, I've received and installed a replacement digitizer screen / component. The good news is that the digitizer works just fine! Screen swipes, finger tracking, etc are all great.
The bad news...is that it didn't fix my white screen issue. Same symptoms...everything works fine at boot. As long as I keep the screen from going dark, everything continues to work fine (rapidly consuming battery, of course). If, at any time, the screen goes dark (get a call, accidentally press the top button to shut down the screen, etc), the screen will only come back on as a white screen.
All touch components are working fine at this time. I've grown to remember where the "power down" swipe is located, so I press and hold the power down button, then swipe where I know the "power down" swipe is located. Phone will shut down.
Restart the phone, and repeat the process. Anyone have any other ideas?

Screen goes dark (sleep) when using handset in phone mode

When I am talking on the phone and remove the phone to hang up the phone goes dark (into sleep mode?) Is anyone else having this issue, does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance for your help

I had that problem when using a case that covered the proximity sensor. I don't know if you're using a case or not, but taking off the case solved the problem right away.

When I call someone the screen goes black and when I won't to end the call but I can't use the screen? Help

Someone pleasee help me :)

You can't turn the sensor off or on.
First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. If thsi does not help, try to reset all settings in Settings/General/Reset -> reset all settings

My laptop screen goes black when i plug in an Hdmi cord

Initially I had both my tv and computer off. I connected the dvi to the tv and the hdmi to the laptop and turned them both on. I had no issue using my laptop as i tried to sync the computer to the TV. However i must have accidentally hit something in the graphics options as my laptop screen went black. I unplugged the hdmi cord from my laptop and the screen came back up. But now for some reason everytime i plug in the hdmi cord to the laptop the screen goes black. When i take it out it the screen comes back up. Did i change something that is causing this to happen? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have pretty much the same exact problem and setup as DaveA1. I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop C55T-A5123 which I just purchased a few months ago and when I connect my laptop to my SONY TV via the HDMI cable the screen on my laptop goes black and the TV says no signal. It was working just fine up until about a week ago when I was watching a movie through my VLC player and then the screen flickered a couple times then video went completely out and I've never been able to get it to come back even once.
Here's the specs on my laptop:

So far I have tried on two different TVs, swapped HDMI cables which work on my other HDMI devices, system restore and attempted to update various different drivers. I am curious to find out if Dave was able to find a solution to his problem.

HT1551 Screen goes black but sound continues when watching netflix on apple tv

Screen goes black intermittently when watching Netflix , sound remains. Broadband is strong , not sure what problem is

That will usually indicate a network issue. First try rebooting ATV and router.
Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network). If on wifi try ethernet. Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

Hi,
my macbook screen goes black at random points when I am using it. I know it is still running as music continues to play and I can vaguely make out the content of what is on the screen. Sometimes the screen will flicker between black and normal. Can I fix this?

Emily..
Could be the graphics card, run the Apple Hardware Test
If the hardware test doesn't reveal any problems, use Lion Recovery.

When using the move tool and or crop tool my whole screen goes black

When using the move tool and or crop tool my whole screen goes black and reappears when I go to another tool???

Hi 25Z4P,
Could you please take a screenshot of the problem you're encountering. I'm sure it is a black screen like you're describing, but it would be helpful to assess what is happening.
Thank you.

I have a iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

CS6 - Screen goes black when trying to crop & clone stamp screen goes polorized when using

I run Photoshop CS6 on a windows 7 machine. It has started having two problems:
First, when trying to crop, as soon as I release the mouse button after blocking the frame to crop, the screen goes black - No controls, no picture, nothing. I have to close Photoshop and restart to get back to the photo.
Second, when using clone stamp, as I click to clone the photo switches to odd colors (almost like it was polarized). The color returns to normal when I release the mouse button.
What is going on and what do I do?
Thank you,
Mike Modlin

Update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website, or disable GPU drawing in Photoshop if you cannot update the driver for some reason.

My iMac is less than one year old. Without warning, the screen suddenly goes black. It used to happen occasionally, but is now happening all the time without warning. What is Apple doing to correct the problem?

My iMac is less than one year old. Without warning, the screen suddenly goes black. It used to happen ocasionally, but now it happens all the time. Numerous people have posted about this issue. Why hasn't Apple solved the issue. For what I paid my computer, I expected more from the product than I have gotten. I was a PC person for years and most of my associates told me that I needed to get a mac...I am starting to regret having taken their advice.

Sorry you're having this problem.
A few years ago we had a similar issue on one of our machines, it was an early MacBook. Ended up being a cracked circuit connection on the motherboard. Changes in temperature caused the crack to expand and contract resulting in a shut-down followed by an automatic reboot. Sometimes over-and-over. I understood from AppleCare at the time that those symptoms could have also been any number of things including a intermittent issue with a powersupply.
If you take it back to the Apple Store at some point, I would ask them to have it run some CPU intensive tasks that closely resemble what you are doing when the screen goes black. It took us several try's to find the problem. Calling AppleCare each time to discuss it and troubleshoot before making the trips to the Apple Store really moved things along. In fact, it wasn't until the Apple Store had cracked the case from the inside that things kicked into a higher gear and AppleCare phone support sent out a pre-paid FedX package to send it to a refurbishing facility. Never a problem since and I know the people who have the machine today.
PS Can identify with the trip to the Apple Store, our closest one is in Knoxville, 2hrs from us.

Is this an app bbbc? IF it is I would contact the app developer and see if they can resolve the issue for you.
also take a look at the reviews and see if other users are having the same issue and see if they have a resolution.

Have a 3 yr old iMac the screen goes black when using it it will come back on when you move the mouse thanks for your help Dave

It's possible you've got a 'hot corner' set up. If you have and move the mouse to a certain corner of the screen it'll do as you describe. Have a look in System Preferences>Mission Control, bottom left of the window click on the 'Hot Corners' button and see if there is anything in there.

HT201335 when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue?

when using apple tv with my ipad, the mirroring function does not work, screen goes black, what is the issue? My son's Ipad(same as kind as mine) works ok with the apple tv but mine does not. Any suggestions?

Hello Nina Izurin,
While written for the iPhone, the troubleshooting below can help resolve issues with your iPad's camera, as well.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
