The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?
The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
Is there a way to fix this?
If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
Thank you

ITunes freezes when I plug my iPod into my computer but no one else's
Hi everyone,
Hopefully someone can help me out here. About a couple weeks ago (around the time the latest version of iTunes came out), my iPod (at the time I believe it was a 120GB iPod Classic. I've since replaced it with a 160GB iPod Classic.) would freeze up iTunes when I would plug it in (also if I open "Computer" in Windows Vista, that also freezes up).
I've tried everything almost everything I've been able to find when Googling the subject: Restoring the iPod one of the few occasions I CAN get my computer to read it. I've replaced the iPod (120GB iPod Classic) with a brand new one (160GB iPod Classic). I've run Check Disk on both my computer AND my iPod. I've cleared out the temporary files on my computer. I've made sure that I have all of my updates for both Windows and iTunes. I've run virus scans, disk defragments, etc. The only thing I haven't done is re-format the iPod but since this is a BRAND NEW iPod, I didn't think it would be necessary.
I also notice that when I bought my new iPod, it worked fine until I turned my computer off then turned it on the next day and I started running into the same problems again. Also, I've recently discovered that my iPod works fine on another computer so I'm thinking that my iPod isn't the problem.
I'm trying to be as specific as possible here but if anyone needs any more details to help me out here, I'd more than happy to let you know.
Thank you.See Corrupt iPod classic.

I am a new ipod touch user; have gone through all the dowload/install stuff, plugged the device into my computer but ipod screen still shows plug in to tunes. I am totally computer useless - how can I get my ipod to work, please? Charles Jones.
You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X -

when i plug my ipod into my computer it no longer takes me to itunes. my ipod screen is a white blank and i can no longer listen to tunes i have downloaded.
at one point i received a message that said it was corruped.My ipod has a white screen.
This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen. What iPod model do you have?
When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
At one point i got a message that it was corupted.
Where and when did this message appear? -
Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer. The version installed on my ipod is 7.1.2(11D257).

When I plug my ipod into my computer the computer dosnt read it and I get a messege saying that the device is drawing to much power. How do I solve this problem???
I had the same problem with mine when I connect the ipod when it's full charged and turn on. The problem never happen when the ipod is charging or i'ts full charged and it's turn off. So just turn off your ipod down and connect to your mac again.

I've been deleting information I don't want in the "Sort..." fields (like getting rid of "Deluxe Edition" markers, etc.), but when I plug my iPod into my computer iTunes repopulates the fields I deleted. This only happens for a few artists, and it's the same artists every time this happens. How do I stop it from doing that? It makes it measurably harder for me to control the organization of my library.

When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge?
When you plug your ipad into your computer is it meant to charge ?
Not necessarily...
iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain." -
