Screen went almost completely black while using a app

I used a metronome app that is very good, but the screen went black, only the ipod bar at the top and volume working. Home button and sleep and turn off didn't work. It took a long hour before it got in sleep mode again, but when i slide to unlock, it went black again. Now didn't the volume button work, but the turn off button worked, but sleep didn't. And i held the button down until the power off came, but that froze when it came. So now the only thing that worked was the ipod bar. I had to wait until it got empty for battery. Any idea for what that could be causing this? BTW, writing this on the touch.

Most any factory authorized portable Apple repair facility (independent or AppleStore affiliate) should be
able to repair the defects in your machine after adequate and proper testing procedures are completed.
You can even send the machine away and have the repairs done, if there isn't someone locally available
to do this kind of work. I've sent machines (from AK) as far away as South Carolina for repair. And the
results were very good; and the machine was out of warranty. That was wegenermedia.com, but there
are others regionally situated and in other countries, too.
Good luck & happy computing!

IPad goes completely black while using it, comes back in a few seconds

iPad goes completely black while using it, comes back in a few seconds battery doesn't hold charge either

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe

My screen goes almost entirely black when in use. I can faintly see the items on the screen at the time of 'blackout'. I took it in and was told it was likely an LCD problem and it'd be a $260 fix.Days later it's working again, is it LCD or pinched cable?

As said. It's going almost completely black when in use and I need to know if this really is a $260 repair or just a simple pinched cable. Any help would be awesome.

Sounds like your phone was previously jailbroken.

HT202159 Problem with Update on It started, then the screen went white and the icons for the apps on the desktop were all blackened, 'waiting'. What now?

It showed a number of apps to be updated on my iPad, so I clicked 'update all' as usual. It started, then the screen went white. The icons for the apps on the desktop went black, as they do, with the first one half way around the little circle timer, and two marked 'waiting', with others not that far into the process. They all stopped. Now I can't stop the update process in the App Store, or use any of the apps. What do I do next? Help, please!

Hello there, Rev Susi.
From what I can gather you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
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.
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.
Quit all apps and restart. 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.

The cursor prompt is present. Tapping screen just brings up the option to: "Select Select All Paste." I have rebbooted with no change.

Ipod touch 4 gets hot while using some apps like angry birds?

Is it normal for the upper back of the ipod touch 4 to get hot while using some apps like angry birds? Is this a potential battery problem? It doesnt get hot while charging or playing songs... Just when using some game apps. I assume that it has something to do with battery drain, should I be concerned?

When the iPod is used heavily like for games it is norma for the iPod to get warm. Unless you hav short battery life I would not be concerned.

The app store keeps popping up (with an app to download) while using other apps. It is getting incredibly annoying. I am currently using the QR reader app. How do I get it to stop?

you can try a soft reset, or u can try to turn it off and then back on. Or take it to the apple store and see what they say about it. Hope this helps

There are instructions on this page for how to create an account without giving a credit card number : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - i.e. select a free app an create an account when 'buying' it (this only works for new accounts, not for updating an existing account)

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.

Screen went crazy, then black - now iBook won't boot up. Help?

So, my iBook has problems. therefore I have problems. I was spoiled and grew up using macs as well as having a computer obsessed father who kept everything running smoothly... unfortunately I never took the opportunity to learn from him. So now I'm lost.
Problem started yesterday, screen went all vertical lines and flickered on and off. Rebooted, got to the login screen, same thing again. Rebooted, chime and grey screen. Reset PRAM, same thing. Started up off install disc, alllllllmost started all the way up... then colored lines, black. Reset PMU, still black, no chime now, just fan/ optical drive noise. Got frustrated, left it alone for a while, tried again and it worked!
THEN this morning in the middle of chatting, colored lines and black. Rebooted, just chime. Reset PMU, rebooted, and it worked!
THEN this afternoon... colored lines/ black. repeated above steps, but no luck. Currently all I get is a black screen and fan noise, no chime.
My iBook was bought July 2005, so it's just over a year old.
I'm not a computer whiz at ALL... but from things I've read in these discussions it sounds like it could be a logic board issue?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... I'm a broke college student

So, I suppose you've checked the link on the support page
http://www.apple.com/support/ in the lower right where you
can key in the computer's serial number, to see if you have
any AppleCare original coverage left...? The deal there is
with the extended optional policy, you get Support by phone
as well as Service repairs, for a combined period of up to
three years, total; including the first year's coverage.
If it is the matter of a few days, you could spring for the call
to AppleCare (pay per incident, out of warranty) and see if
you can get your issue covered, even though you probably
have lapsed official coverage. Sometimes sales support is
a way to go; other times, if you can get an AppleCare super-
visor; if you can point (hindsight?) to an issue that may have
grown into this current failure, that you were unfamilar with,
that now shows as a probable hardware failure... they may
be able to have the computer checked over anyway.
Out of warranty repairs are often expensive on compact and
portable computers where the parts are very hard to get into.
To get the computer tested and so on would cost you money.
If it cannot be booted from the included Apple Hardware Test
on the included media disc, someone else will have to do it.
Can your parents help you get a refurbished iBook G4 1.33 12"
from the Certified page online? Then, get AppleCare w/ in 11 mo?
These are less expensive machines than the MacBook on budget
and are significant in value as Certified units direct from Apple.
PS: I've owned only a few newer Macs; the total however is a
bit over 100 of them. At one time, I had over 40 in a room and
all of them worked very well; I restored them, & gave them away.

My iPad 3 screen has gone completely black and does not respond

MY iPad 3 screen has gone completely blank (blacked out) and does not respond to either of the power buttons.
ANy suggestions?

If the battery is not flat, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
