Help! Light gray magnified apple logo then goes black and dies.

Hi,
Whenever I start up my macbook pro a lighter than usual gray screen pops up with a magnified apple logo and spinning wheel, it then proceeds to go to a black screen and stays there. I tried starting it up in single user mode and running fsck but that didn't do anything it failed to notice that there was a problem. I then tried running disk aide from my start up disk but it failed to find anything wrong with my computer. I replaced my hard drive with a new one and retried all of those things and still the gray screen would appear. I also ran disk utility and and verified and repaired disk permissions and nothing worked. In addition to that i tried resetting my ram. I have no clue how to fix this I've searched all over the web but can't find anything. I desperately need my computer for school.
Thanks
Dave

I just replaced my ipod touch 4th generation screen and I went to go turn it on and it flashes the apple symbol then goes black and does the same thing over and over.

I do not knw why it does this?

Oh ur in the boot loop! You have to restore I believe. Was ur device jailbroken? Because you would have to completely reset it.

Computer boots with Apple logo then goes black

So my MacBook Pro boots up withe the Apple logo then goes black as if the it is set on the lowest dim setting, you can just barely make out the icons on the screen so it is booting into the log on screen. I tried brightness, I tried holding down shift, you get a flash of blue then goes black. I tried the startup disk it starts up and goes black, you can just make out the outline of the language selection on the startup disk.
Any suggestions.

1. Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down apple/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.
2. Boot holding down Apple/S and don't let go until you see scrolling text.
When that stops and you see a root#: prompt enter
fsck -fy
Let it run through all the checks and repairs.
If it fails first time, at any time, or finds and fixes a fault - run the command again and keep doing so (some fixes can take several passes) until it says "Appears to be OK" then enter
reboot

Refurbished iPod touch 3rd gen won't start. Just got it today to replace my broken one. It freezes at the screen with the apple logo, then flashes off and tries to restart again. Help!

I have tried holding the power home button but all that does is turn it off. When I try to start it again it goes into the same loop.

Hp w2338h monitor stays on for about a sec then goes black and will not come back on

When I turn my computor on the monitor will only stay on for about a sec and then goes black. I can turn monitor off and on and it does the same thing. A new motherboard and been installed and computer works well with other monitors. Was using upgraded video card which has been removed and using orginal video card that came with computer. The monitor started acting up and before new board installed and would come on when monitor was turned off and then on. Now it just stays black after being rebooted or turned on. Can anyone help or have any ideas what could be the problem?

Hi charlezr,
I see that your monitor goes blank after you start up the computer, and I would be happy to assist you! To begin, I will need to ask you a few questions:
What is the Product and Model Number of your desktop computer and monitor?
What version of Windows do you have installed on your computer?
Is this an on-going, or recent issue?
In the meantime, I recommend following this document on when the Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer. This should help you determine if the blank screen is being caused by the computer hardware, the video signal to the monitor, or the monitor itself.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

When I shut the lid to my computer and then open it again the screen comes on and then goes black and I have to press random keys to make it show again. Does anyone know why this is happening?

When I close my lid to make the computer sleep and I open it back up again when I am ready to use it the screen turns on and then turns black. I have to press random keys to make the screen show again. Any help is greatly appreciated!

First, before you sleep your MBP, make sure you either scroll down the Apple menu to sleep your machine, or do it even more easily by pressing CMD-OPTION - DiskDrive (upper right hand corner of your keyboard). I wouldn't just close your machine to let it sleep.
It's hard to know exactly what's happening, but here are a few pointers.
1. Go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and make sure you've set a sleep time of more than two or three minutes. Your machine may be trying to sleep too early. In the same preferences, set Computer Sleep to more than ten minutes, to make sure you don't get an unintentional sleep.
2. Take a look for third-party applications you might have installed.
Post here with your results!

When I boot up my iPhone 4S it shows the Apple icon then goes black for over 30 seconds.

Why does my iPhone 4S, when I turn it on in the morning and it shows the Apple icon, turns complete black for over 30 seconds before I can swipe and log in? This started happening when I upgraded to iOS8

Hi Haleynichole_99!

My imac starts with a white screen, then goes black and a small white line just blinks in the top left corner of the screen?

My imac starts with a white screen, then goes to black with a small white line blinking in the top left corner of the screen. Any ideas? Thanks.

Try starting your iMac with the original DVD that came with the machine then launch disk utility to repair your hard drive.

My iPad mini has recently begun to restart itself at random intervals, like on the lock screen or while in YouTube. Before it reboots itself a few faded lines jut across he screen, then it goes black, and the apple logo appears, and it resets. Help?

It is severely frustrating

Hello, Crazyrz1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps to go through when experiencing this issue. These steps are labeled for the iPhone, but they will apply to your iPad as well.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
If the issue persists, see the section labeled Issue not resolved.

PowerMac wont start up - Gets to Apple screen then goes black

Recently my 2.5Ghz DP PowerMac G5 has been behaving badly and now it appears to have died!
On startup it gets to the grey background with the Apple then nothing. No spinning gear and no Hard Drive activity from the Mac. After switching off and trying again not even the Apple screen comes up I just get a black screen. If I leave it a while then try again I get the Apple screen again but nothing else.
Tried starting up in 'Safe Mode' with shift pressed but using wireless keyboard and mouse wasn't sure if keyboard is recognised until Mac has fully booted. Tried switching to conventinal wired keyboard and mouse but still nothing - it's as if the keyboard isn't being found as the light on the Caps lock doesn't work while attemping a boot up. Does it matter where the keyboard is plugged in? Mac or monitor?
I can only think to take it in to Apple for repair but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very grateful!

Hi-
The 2.5GHz machine is liquid cooled.
Open up the tower, and look for signs of leakage:

HT1688 My iphone 5 screen is flickering then going black and becoming unresponsive.

I just bought this phone, it is up to date on software AND it has had a waterproof lifeproof case on it since day one. When the battery is low the screen flickers uncontrollably and fades to black or white, there are a bunch of sideways lines on it. This phone has NOT been dropped or gotten wet.

Was this phone ever jalbroken?
If restoring as new, without using a backup, didn't help, there is certainly a hardware problem that only replacement can fix. Your warranty is void unless you return to the USA. Short of that, finding a local independent iPhone repair center would be your only option
