Screen turns black while using safari

While in safari, the screen turns black & returns you back to home. Appears to only happen on larger sites with lots of data. Getting worst now. Almost happens everytime we're in safari(WIFI). All other apps work fine. I have an Ipad (1). Cleared history & did latest update. Still a BIG problem. Any other advise. Please advise.

If you have cleared the history, cookies and data, you have pretty much done all that you can. Other users are reporting this same "crashing" behavior with Safari.
The only other thing that I can think of that MAY be of some help is to quit apps that are running the background. Few apps really do run in the background, but it doesn't hurt to try this and see if it does any good.
To close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Some have suggested that if you are using iCloud - try turning off Bookmark syncing and that has helped somewhat.
Apple has announced an update to the iOS that is supposed to be released soon, hopefully they will address this issue in the update.

screen turns white while using my macbook

Does the situation change by changing the position of the screen?
Which model, year, size and OS are you running?

Screen turns black while I'm working

My screen turns black, almost like it's going to sleep right when I'm in the middle of typing, searching the web; basically doing anything active...
My screensaver and sleep settings are in the proper positions, so I don't think this should be happening...
hmmm....
any ideas?

Black screens are the curse of the iBooks. Search for "black screen" or screen flickering" to find many others with similar problems. There are a few possible causes, but the most common is probably the reed switch. This is the switch that puts your computer to sleep when you close the lid. Unfortunately, extremely delicate wires + a display hinge opening and closing all the time = crazy problems.
Signs you have a reed switch problem:
- your screen may flicker in brightness randomly.
- it goes black more often when the display angle or laptop is moved.
- after it goes black you can still faintly see the screen, or when you connect an external display it works fine.
- you can put the laptop to sleep and wake it to temporarily bring the display back to life.
To fix the reed switch problem:
- take it back to Apple if you're under warranty. If you can't get the problem to happen at the Genius Bar, tell them about the problems you've been having and insist that they fix it anyway. This is way too common a problem for them to blow you off easily.
- if you're not under warranty, you can pay Apple or some other Mac shop to fix it. I have no idea how much this costs, but probably at least a few hundred.
- if you're not under warranty and you're brave/poor enough that you want to fix it yourself it is possible (I just did it myself last week). While there's nothing about the repair that takes special knowledge, it is a very detailed and arduous process. There are dozens of screws and parts that need to be removed in a very specific sequence. It took me about 5 hours start to finish (though I also replaced the hard drive) and I ended up with a few "extra" pieces that didn't make it back in despite being very careful. On the plus side, the reed switch itself is only about $25 and is available from places like Smalldog.
If you do decide to fix it yourself, do youself a favor and download the guides from ifixit.com. If you google around, you can probably also find the actual Apple repair manual (which is even better), but ifixit.com has great screw guides to keep track of everything.
One last thing - I originally had the reed switch problem under warranty and Apple fixed it with no problem. Unfortunately, the reed switch problem came back in a couple of months - after the warranty expired. Just a word to the wise if you have this problem and you're considering whether to buy the extended AppleCare policy.

Screen turns black during use

Ok I had this problem before, took it to Apple..They fixed it. Now my computer it doing this again! I had a couple windows open, then all of a sudden my screen turns black. The keyboard light was still on though. So I think the computer may have gone into sleep mode?! Can someone comment on this? Then I pressed the power button to shut the computer off. I tried to restart it. I got to the login page, typed my password. Everything looked fine. Then I tried opening safari and the computer screen turned black again.

"Ok I had this problem before, took it to Apple..They fixed it. Now my computer it doing this again!"
Take MBP back to the repair shop & tell them it's still "broke." If the original repairs were done under warranty, I would call Apple Care first so that they can research your +original repair case number.+
Have you checked your Energy Saver settings?

Screen went black while using voiceover

I rebooted, but the screen fades out right away when it starts up so I can't enter my passcode or get into the settings to turn off voiceover! Help!

Hi GSC818,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It seems like you want to turn off VoiceOver on your iPhone, but can't because the screen goes black.
If you can't access your iPhone, try disabling voice over using this method on a computer with iTunes:
Managing Accessibility features using iTunes
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click > Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.
From:
Use Accessibility features in iOS - Apple Support
If your screen doesn't return to normal after turning off VoiceOver, see this article for some additional troubleshooting tips:

Jeremy

Screen turns black while playing App Store Games

i got a first generation Mac Pro and i usually run After Effects or Cinema 4D, but i decided to give the app store a try and run a game. i can play for about 5 minutes and then my screen goes black. i have no control other that turning my computer off with the power button, and when it has a black screen i can still hear the game sounds. also, my monitors shut off. i am running mac os 10.6.8(snow leopard). can someone please help me?

Try opening up the side cover and cleaning all dust for the interior. Especially from heatsinks and fans. It maybe that the Mac is overheating.
Go to the Mac App Store and look fora a temperature monitoring app to monitor temps and fan speeds. I use Macs Fan Control which is not in the Mac App.Store. When I got my 2013 Mac Pro none of the apps in the Mac App Store were compatible with the new Mac Pro

Sections of screen turn black after using LogMeIn

We had a customer call in yesterday and we used LogMeIn to help her out with her email. Today she called in again and we used LogMeIn again, but this time as soon as we connected some areas turned black. After the connection ended and she rebooted, there are still black areas.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y297/mstrswrd06/blackareas-1.png
(The exception is the parts bloched out with mosaics)
I can't figure out how to fix this. If it was Linux then I would try resetting the X Server settings or go through the window manager settings or reinstall the proprietary driver if one is used. But this is a Mac, so I don't know. Any suggestions?

Not to solve your issue directly, but have you considered using ScreenSharing? It's built it and works quite well.

Macbook air 13" screen goes black while using iTunes

I have an early 2014 13" Macbook Air with a 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, and I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. When I'm using iTunes, specifically when I'm watching a movie or TV show, the screen will randomly go black, but not like it turned off. The audio still works, but I can't see the cursor or anything. The only way I've been able to fix it is to completely turn it off (control+command+power) and turn it back on. It happens pretty often though, and as you can imagine, gets quite annoying. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

HT4061 I did install the OS7 on my Ipad yesterday, and right now, while browsing internet with safari, the screen turned black, and no way to return to normal

I am lost: I did install iOS7 a couple of days ago, and right now, while browsing internet with Safari, the screen turned black suddenly, and I can't reactivate it anyway (buttons death, screen death)

Thank you very much!
During the minutes needed looking for help, I decided to put the magnetic cover on the screen again, and I connected the iPad to the charger. Whe I did uncover the iPad now for a try with your tip (hold sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds), it came to life again.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Lorenzo

(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.

Ipad screen turned black in Safari.(only in Safari. other apps are working)

I was using Youtube through Safari. I clicked a video and made it full screen and then the screen turned black. It didn't show me the usual appearance of a video in Youtube.(the pause button, the progress of the video,etc) Although the games and the apps still work. I tried closing it first then opening it again. when i went back it still shows a black screen with the word Ipad and the time. Does anybody have ideas on how to put it back to its normal self? Please HELP!!!!

If this is happening using Safari it usually means that Safari has run out of internal Memory and crashes. One way to help Safari would be have as few tabs open as possible.
Note that the iPad 2 only has 512 MB of internal memory.
The later iPads have more:
iPad 3 - 1 GB
iPad 4 - 1 GB
iPad Air - 1 GB
iPad Air 2 - 2 GB

Im using my Ipad 2 and sometimes when I try to look a photo on facebook te screen turns black

Hey !
I was using my Ipad normally when I tried to look some photos on facebook and suddenly the screen turns black, but everything else works good, i just need to press "back button " and I can turn to Facebook and the screen looks normal.
I would really appreaciate if you can help me.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
