  • Ipod touch screen is dimmed and won't brighten

    i turned my ipod touch on one day and it was fine then the next thing i knew was the screen dimmed like it does before it goes into it's lock mode, but when i push the menu or power button the screen stays dimmed and i have tried several things to brighten the screen but nothing works. can anyone help me with this problem because i can't use my ipod touch anymore now?

    - Double tap the screen with three fingers and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off Zoom and Voice over too if you want.
    - Alternately, you can connect to your syncing computer and go to the Summary pane.  Click on Configure Universal Acess and turn off Zoom and Voice Over (if you wish).

  • I went to use my laptop and the screen is dark and won't light up. Help

    I was having problems with my laptop this morning trying to get it to work. I had to shut the lid and open it, then try and locate the shut down menu. Close the lid again and the open it to click on the shut down option. Close and open again, then click yes to shut down. Then I started it back up again and has worked fine all day, stopped so I could go and run an errand for a couple of hours. Came back to use the computer again and now it won't light up at all.
    The keyboard is lit up, the apple icon on the lid is NOT lit up. I can sort of see stuff on the screen but it is so dark I can't tell what is what. Is there anything that I can do or do I need to take it in to get fixed?
    Please help and thanks a bunch.

  • Accessing the internet, I can google and get search results but the screen stays dark and doesn't load, accessing the internet, I can google and get search results but the screen stays dark and doesn't load

    what is the problem when the screen goes dark and you cant' access the search items, also i find it strange that I can access you tube but can't access internet thru safari??

    Couple of things you could try : clearing your Safari cache (Settings > Safari > Clear Cache and also try Clear History). You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT201406 When I open a web page the screen gets dark and not responding

    Screen ges dark and non- responding can't get out of it frozen

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari via the taskbar and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on

    I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off.  It is very, very frustrating.  The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly.  I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues.  They tell me to do different things that never help.  We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues.  Help!  It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract.  Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

    I have done that several times.  In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly.  I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time.  It never does.  After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying.  I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not.  I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine.  I know I got a bad phone.  Verizon just does not listen.  It is a bad phone.  I just want a new phone that works properly.  Is that too much to ask?  I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one.  Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this?  It shouldn't be this difficult!  Help please!!!

  • On iPhone 4, the screen goes dark and freezes when I start Safari

    All of a sudden, today I can't access the internet via Safari on my Verizon iPhone 4. If I click on a link in an email or start Safari, the screen goes dark and freezes. What's up with this and what the fix?

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

  • My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

    My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • My screen goes dark and a message says I need to shut down.  What does this mean for my computer?

  • Screen turns dark and freezes, when refreshing deletes written txt

    Firefox should be more compatible without blaming others.
    While writing this same note, or an email or text, suddenly the screen turns dark and freezes, impeding to edit or recover the work. When clicking Control Shift R , screen/server refreshes and work lost.
    Kindly assist and solve this issue. I uninstall and reinstall with no avail, problem persists.

    It's disturbing that you get ads just starting up the browser. Where did you download Firefox from? Unfortunately there are some unauthorized modified versions promoted in search engine results...
    Some things to check:
    # Home page -- [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    # Extensions (more detail below)
    # Malware -- [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    # Program shortcut (more detail below)
    '''''Extensions'''''
    Add-ons, and particularly extensions, can override your settings in Firefox's normal dialogs. Use the Add-ons page to review and disable or remove ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the add-ons page and click the link as the last step.
    '''''Program Shortcut'''''
    Not sure exactly how you do this on Windows 8.1, but on earlier versions:
    right-click the shortcut you use to start Firefox > Properties > Shortcut tab
    Check the "Target" line and make sure there is no URL at the end. By default, the target ends with
    firefox.exe"
    with no URL after it.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Ifou don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
