Screen turns black and when I touch it, it comes back to normal

It happens all the time. My macbook's screen starts pixeling until it turns black. It comes back to normal when I touch the screen. Sometimes it happens so often that I have to touch the screen all the time. How can I solve this problem ???

By bringing it to an Apple store or an AASP.

However, from your discription, I suspect that something is broken. Maybe a dead battery. In that case. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say.

Your iPod has dropped into Recovery mode. You'll need to restore it via iTunes on your computer.

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

Try reset
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If no joy, restore backup using iTunes.
Finally last attempt, rsetore as new and sync content back manually.

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

The camera screen turning black and locking up.

I see a lot of people having issues with the camera screen turning black and having to restart phone to fix it. I have the 6 plus and the screen turns black and locks when taking a second picture on the txt screen. I have replaced the phone and the new one does the same thing. I went to the Verizon store and they just scratched their heads. I have reset the old phone 3 times and restored from my back up which did not help. I put my sim card in new phone and restored it and it had the same problem. I thought my back up was the problem so I restored the new phone to new again without using my backup and it worked. After a few hours of turning off and on every setting I use and many many many factory resets I found the problem. Whenever the option for "speak screen" is turned on it causes the camera software to glitch and freeze after one picture is taken. I have verified it on 3 different Iphone 6 Plus.

Screen turned black and makes some sort of an alarm sound

Does anyone knows a solutions for this: my intel iMac was on all afternoon till suddenly the screen turns black and it starts making some sort of an alarm sound "tuut tuuut". I tried restarting but nothing changes. I tried restarting from the installation Disc with C-key but no result. As a matter of fact i can't even get the disc out of my iMac anymore. Thanx

That sounds like hardware problems, I suggest you call your local Apple Store to my an appointment for them to check it out for you.

(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to turn to normal is to close the window and start all over again?

Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
Re zooming -
If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.

My iPod Touch 4th Gen Camera's screen turns black and nothing is visible, but on FaceTime, camera does work.Help?

When I open up the camera app on iPod Touch 4th Gen, the screen stays black and you are not able to take a picture/video. On the other hand when i'm FaceTiming someone, the front and back camera works fine. I went to the genius bar at the apple store and they restored my iPod and the camera was still not working but FaceTime still is working fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this might be happening or how I could get my iPod working like normal?

Why does my screen turns black and I have to reset the phone to make it work?

My phone is fully charged when suddenly the screen turns black it doesnt matter if I push the buttons the screen still is black, I have to reset the phone to make it work. When the screen is black and if you call you can hear is ringing but my phone does not sound.
I had a bad experience with this phone, to tell you the truth I dont even want it anymore, I have other apple products and they are excellent and had worked fine but the iphone is a dissapointment to me.

Go to an Apple store.
