Screen is dark even on the lightest setting.

Any suggestions

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
If these don't work try a "restore as new" using iTunes.
If none of these work you may have a hardware problem. If so, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store for an evaluation.

I do not receive notifications for my email account even though the email setting in Notifications is turned on. How can I fix this?

In iOS 5 I do not receive notifications for my email account even though the email setting in Notifications is turned on. I do receive other notifications. Does anyone have any suggestion on what is wrong or how I should correct it? Thanks.

Hey M0904,
I found the following information regarding troubleshooting notifications, I'd run through them and see if they resolve the issue:
iOS: Understanding Notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you are not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app at least once to begin receiving notifications.
If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.
Have a good one,
David

See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
If you carefully follow all of the instructions in this tip and none of them restore WiFi then your radio chip has failed and you need to get the phone replaced by Apple.

TS3694 Trying to update iPhone 5 to latest OS. Now the screen is dark except for the iTunes icon and an icon showing the charger cable pointing to the icon. Bricked out at that point.

Tried to update iPhone 5 to latest OS. When I looked at the phone a while later, the screen was dark except for the iTunes icon in the middle of the screen and another icon showing the charger cable and an arrow point to the iTunes icon. Now I'm bricked out of the phone. When I hold down the power button after the screen goes completely dark, the Apple logo appears, then the iTunes icon I described.

Hi Aphthonius,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you only see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your iPhone, this means that the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. The information and steps in this article can help further:

I have Lion, and I can't see my unread messages count in the dock, even after the preferences set up. I find the Lion Mail too complicated. Leopard was much easier and more simple to use. I only have one account& don't need all the rest. any suggestions

It's so frustrating, I got my Mac Book 5 days ago and I'm already having a discussion in the forum.
Thank you so much for your prompt replies.
It's past midnight here so I'd better get some rest...
Good night captfred!

HT5622 When setting up an apple ID for a child in family sharing, the verification questions appear in French, even though the iPhone setting is in English...

Possible bug? Setting up apple id for child, under icloud, family sharing, and the 3 questions come up in Frnech, even though the phone is set to English and the remainder of screens have all been in English,
Is this a bug or is there a way to display the questions in English please,
thanks

I agree.
I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
running out of options it seems.
Any idea on the best solution?
Thank you!

TV screen is blank even though the apple tv is installed correctly

I sucessfully installed my new apple tv 2 with my television yesterday, then took it to another home where I want to use it and it will not work, tv screen is blank even though it is plugged in correctly etc

Did you verify the input? Is it an HDTV capable of 720P?

My ipod was opening an app, and stuck - now have blank screen, i cannot even turn the ipod off - it is not responding?! now what???

I was opening up an app, and the ipod changed to a black screen, with a line of white on the bottom. It is backlit. It is also 'stuck' like this. It will not respond to pressing any buttons - it won't even turn off!!! What really *****, is that it's only 2mths old!! (8GB touch)
HHEEELLLPPPP!!!!!!!!!

Thankyou ckuan - but the laptop that this particular iPod is attached to - is currently in the fix it shop after being stood on!!
After much frustration, the battery finally died - I left it to recharge for 20hrs, and it now works fine - thanks for your quick responses!

HT201412 Ipad 1 screen gone dark what is the solution?

Screen problem - dark patches at the bottom, overall brightness reduced

I bought my MacBook in September 2008 and about 11 months later some dark patches (rather like large thumb-prints) started to appear at the bottom of the screen. The overall brightness of the screen has reduced as well. The patches are more noticable when turning it on in the morning (i.e. when it's been off all night for 10-12 hours), and they fade slightly after a few minutes. The brightness of the screen however, does not improve. It's not ridiculously dark, but the difference is still notable, and when compared with another, one can clearly see mine is a lot darker.
I took it back to the retailer (while within warranty) and their repair company do not think there is anything wrong with it. I know the basics about computer hardware, and my guess is that the backlight has malfunctioned.
Does anyone disagree? If so, what do you think the problem is? I'm not interested in fixing anything myself as that would involve me forking out. Plus I want to get as much out of the retailer as I can for messing me around for over four months!
Cheers,
Ben.

I know this is a bit late but when you say you took it back to the retailer are you referring to and Apple retail store or a third party reseller? If it's still under warranty take it to an authorized service provider.

My MacBook screen is dark blue with the ball of doom what do I do.

I was using my MacBook Pro 4GB RAM using 10.5.7 (OSX) and it suddenly froze. Scared, I force shut it down by pressing the button in the top right corner of the lower part of the MacBook Pro. It did not seem to be doing anything so I closed the screen. A few minutes later I opened it back up and the screen turned a light blue then dark blue. There was also the loading ball of doom. I could not move the loading ball. Whenever I try to close the screen the light on the side of the Mac facing towards you is off. But when the dark blue screen is on its off as well. I am really confused I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

You pay Apple for a non-warranty replacement.

How do i get rid of voiceover on my ipod nano? i am stuck on the 'playing album' screen and cant even change the playlist.

I accidentally got my ipod stuck on voiceover and i can't get it off. The usual 'slide to left to go back' no longer applies and i am stuck on a dreadful playlist! in my instruction book it says 'flick to slide screen', what is this supposed to mean? I would be grateful for any help as my ipod is only a year old...

Connect to iTunes. On summary screen for ipod, hit the "Configure Universal Access" button. Make sure none of the checkboxes are checked in the dialog box that comes up. Click apply, then sync and voiceover should be off.

I can't print artical in 'two-sided', even when the printer setting is right/

I've found there would be the option 'two-sided' in page setup. But there is only one option: 'one-sided' for me. The printer's setting is correct, and I can print 'pdf' files in 2-sided. I don't know how to set. How can I recall the '2-sided' right when I printed?
Now, the alternative solution is that I print the web article into pdf file. Consequently, I can use the adobe to print on the paper in 2-sided format.

Who can help me?

Okay my phone was working just fine and I locked it and went to unlock it and now it just sits on the black screen it wont even show the lock screen I dont know what to do but I am very careful with my phone anyone know how to fix it? Plz and thank you!

Okay my phone was working just fine and I went to unlock it and it wont show the lock screen it just remains black please if anyone can help me fix it it will be much appreciated, I am very careful with my phone so I dont know why its acting like this.

I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.
