Screen remaining blank after reopening lid (after 10.5.2 update)

Hello
after (successfully) updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 several relevant problems appeared.
One is that closing the lid while the computer is on, and then reopening it later, the screen remains blank instead of coming to life. It is possible that the computer itself went to sleep and does not return, but the only way to get back is to press the on button for a few seconds to turn it off the hard way.
The other problem is described in a separated post. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Marinho.

me too, and I'm about to go nuts. There are tons of people having this issue, I fixed it temporarily by changing my hibernate mode (from 3 to 0) using terminal, everything worked great until the last update, now it's acting up again. Now, if I close my lid, and unplug something, or plug something, it gives me the startup sound (sounds like something moving) and won't come back if I open the lid.
There has got to be a solution. APPLE, FIX THIS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

  • Mail screen remains blank

    I received mail regarding New Year Wish. There were numbers of recipients in CC. I just clicked reply to all and trouble started. Now I am unable to see mail. It is up dating and showing the numbers of new mail, but when open it, the screen remains blank, nothing appears and after few seconds it closes itself. I tried reboot, switch off, deleting mail account and creating again, all the possible solutions, but issue is not resolved.

    Hey 9909904332,
    If you are having an issue with the Mail application on your iPhone being unable to launch, and you have already tried restarting the iPhone, your next step is going to be to back up any data on your iPhone and then erase the iPhone and restore it as a new device. See this article for how to -

    If your MBP is under warranty, bring it to an Apple store and have the technicians fix it.  If not, try the steps in this support article:

  • TS3297 After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    I have the same problem and have been fighting with it for several days. I think the last thing that I did before this happened was to let Quicktime update itself. When I open itunes and click on store, the connecting bar gets halfway and then stops. That leaves me with the white store page, if I leave it alone for a bit, I see words as in names of singers and but no pictures.
    I have ran the diagnostics and see no problems at all, no event logs in windows, no errors at all. I've un-installed itunes and re-installed but no change. I'm using Norton 360 from comcast. I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Also, the help in itunes doesn't display.
    I put in a ticket with apple and the response I got back basically told me to do what I've already done. I created a new user and have the same issue.
    Any help at all will be very much appreciated. I think this started August. 8, 2011.
    thanks so much for reading

  • IPhone 4 wont start. Screen remains blank and buttons are unresponsive unless its connected to mains or PC, when an Apple LOGO appears. Only on mains displays IOS 6, update, connect to iTunes. On connecting to PC just displays apple logo on and off.

    Header 1
    Header 2
    iPhone 4 screen remains blank and only the apple logo appears on and off when connected to mains or PC. Only on mains occasionaly proceeds to display IOS 6 logo and a slide sign to start recovery which proceeds to an instruction to connect to iTunes. Hwever, as soon as disconnected from mains (in order to connect to the PC) screen goes totally blank again. On connecting to PC the Apple LOGO starts appearing intermittently but does not proceed to display IOS 6 LOGO. I have recharged overnight and followed resetting instructions as per the iPhone support page. Any suggestions (short of taking it to a service centre) ?

    did you get any help regarding the problem?? because even i have the same problem!!! guess it all started after updating to iOs 6

    In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".  Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

    Do just that. Connect it iTunes and restore it as it appears there is a software issue with the device.

  • Screen remains blank after call/voicemail

    Like it should, my iPhone screen goes blank when I am speaking on the phone and when I am listening to a voicemail. However, about 75% of the time, my screen does not reappear after the phone call has been completed or after listening to a voicemail. Multiple taps on the screen nor pressing the "home" button return the screen. Instead, I have to push the button on top of the iPhone multiple times to return to the screen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey talanz,
    Do you have a protective case on the iPhone? If so, it may be covering the proximity sensor. Trying removing the case. http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/index.html#sensor
    You can also try to reset or restore the iPhone.

  • IPad mini screen remains blank.

    Hi,
    I have had my mini for about a year now and just ran into a problem where an app I was using started to freeze. Closed the app and deleted it. My mini started acting weird then out of no where the screen went blank as if it died. I charged it, I even have sound when I connect it to the power cord, even sound when receiving FaceTime calls but have to answer on my iPhone to view anything. I've tried resetting it by holding the buttons but nothing seems to work.
    Please help

    This is absolutely not related to any website you visited or to a virus. (There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad that has not been jailbroken.)
    What it honestly sounds like is a hardware problem. You need to contact Apple for assistance. If the device is less than a year old, it's within the original warranty period. If you got AppleCare, it should still be covered by that.

  • TS1702 My app store does not load the featured apps, also in charts. Everytime i open the app store, the screen remains blank. Im using ipad3, ios6.

    My app store does not load the featured apps. The screen remains empty everytime I open it.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Screen remains blank after waking

    I have a Z10 that is unresponsive after waking up sometimes. As far as I know, there are no background apps running to cause this issue. There is a similar known issue reported here but pressing/holding the power button does not offer any options, and the device just reboots. I have restored the device to factory defaults to see if this issue can be resolved this way. However, this is the second device that we have had an issue with. The user is synced with an Exchange server if that makes any difference. I have also disabled the swipe to unlock feature which did not fix the problem either.
    Is this a known issue among users? Are there any steps to resolve this issue without having to reformat the device each time it comes up?

  • My 6th generation nano is unresponsive.  Its fully charged but screen remains blank

    Had nano for less than a year.  Last week I tried to turn it on but the screen flickered and went out.  Since then, the nano has been unresponsive, even after restoring and charging the battery numerous times.

    This same thing happened to me recently.  I had to reset it, by pressing the middle button and the play/pause button at the same time.  This can be tricky to do, so try it a couple of times to make sure you are pressing it correctly. Hope that works for you, I was relieved when it worked for me.
    Good luck,
