I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a projector, which has a VGA cable. I bought a VGA to HDMI adapter, but whenever I hook it up, the screen on my macbook just goes black and I can't make it do anything else or even show up on the projector.

My laptop is still on; it just has a black screen that I can't get rid of without shutting down the computer by holding the power button.

Hey there lynmrigg,
It sounds like have an HDMI to VGA adapter connecting your MacBook Pro and your projector but the screen on your computer goes black and no image appears on the projector. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article to help resolve or isolate the issue here, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to press end the call

why does my iphone 3gs screen goes black after reaching another party and won't come back on to end the call

hi smalley3,
Welcome to the Forums.
The flickering issue maybe due to a bad LCD cable or in some cases, a faulty GPU (the GPU is integrated to the CPU, and the CPU is soldered to the motherboard).
If there's still no image on the screen even after connecting an external display then you likely have a bad GPU.
In this case, I recommend you contact support for service (and also to see if there's a consideration that can be done on the warranty repair).

The screen on my MacBook has been flickering and shaking up and down. It starts flickering, shaking, gets 'pixelated,' then eventually begins to fade to white and freezes. Restarting sometimes helps, but only temporarily. Why is this? How can I fix it?

The screen on my MacBook has just started flickering and shaking up and down while I am using it. The screen starts flickering, shaking, gets pixelated, begins to freeze, and eventually fades to white. Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?
It is a newer MacBook, just over 1 year. It is well cared for, hasn't been dropped, etc. I don't want to pay for expensive repairs for such a new computer, and I certainly can't afford a new one!
I've tried updating my system like the Support page suggested, but no improvement. The problem started just the other day, and is progressively getting worse.
.... as I typed this, it did it again. Only, this time it did not flicker and shake, but got 'pixelated' (pixels came up checkered-like darkened and lightened). It did this for about 2 minutes and then stopped after I did not touch the computer.... Now it is flickering... HELP!

it means that it is not a hardware issue. Other then that, Im not too sure. Sorry I can't help you any further, but Im sure others members of this forum will read your question and be able to help you. Good luck

Sometimes my screens zooms in and won't go back unless I restart

Sometimes for no reason my phone screen will zoom in to a very large size and won't go back down until I restart my phone?
Is there a button I'm pushing or something?

Settings > General > Accessibility and make sure Zoom is turned Off.

The only people that can help you are those at an Apple store.
Your Mac is broken and needs to be repaired. That is IF you get absolutely nothing on the screen after pressing the powwr button.

The screen on my iPod touch is white and won't turn off and on?

I was charging my iPod and forgot about it after a couple days and now my screen is white and won't turn on and off and I held hold button and button on screen for 10 seconds and it didn't do anything. HELP

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The screen of my Ipod touch is black and won't respond, how can I reset it?

I have an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I still have one of the older IOS updates, but I'm not exactly sure which one. I went to go turn my Ipod on because the screen was completely black, and nothing happened. So I then plugged it in thinking it was dead. So a while later I tried to turn it on again and still nothing. Is there anyway I can reset it to get back into it? Please help!!
Thanks ahead of time!

Why did the screen on my MacBook Pro turn black and ask me to hold down the power button to restart and then when I restarted it. ALL the work i had done was gone???

How do I get back what I lost. When I was forced to shut down my computer?

None of us knows why your screen turned black - it's the most serious form of crash, and yes, almost all the changes that you didn't save are lost.
An exception are the audio recordings - they should still sit in the project package of your song. Locate the project in the Finder, ctrl-click it and select "Show package content". The Media folder will contain all your recordings.

My MacBook suddenly shut down and won't turn back on - how do I get it to turn back on?

My MacBook suddenly shut down after freezing up and I cannot get it to turn back on again. I tried the suggestions in the manual and none of them worked to turn it back on. Is there something I am not doing correctly? The little green light on the charger connector is green but not as bright as normal, it was charged by over 70% before it shut down, so I do not think it is a battery problem. Is there anything I can do to turn it back on? Thank you for any help given, I really appreciate it.

If it won't bong, then try an SMC reset.

MacBook randomly shut down, and won't turn back on

First of all, hello. Secondly, I've got a problem with my MacBook: about half an hour ago, it randomly shut down and when I tried to turn it back on, it didn't. Instead, the backlight kept flickering at the tempo that something inside the computer was "clicking", and the longer I held the power button, the more "clicks" there were. Needless to say, I've tried charging the battery, resetting the SMC, and to no avail: I still can't power it up, even when I don't use my battery. Whether I use it or not, the MacBook still "clicks" during my pressing of the power button and stops "clicking" when I release it. My MacBook is a year old. Can someone help me out here?

Me too. Any resolution? I don't want to take it to my local apple place because they're retards, but according to the info on my warranty that's the only place available. Can't believe they don't have an RMA service direct to Cupertino, what a joke.

My iPod 5th Generation was working perfectly fine and within the next ten minutes, it had shut off and won't turn back on

I was using my iPod and it was working fine and then I locked it and it randomly shut off. This has happened to me in the past, and I would just do the home button and lock button to manually reset it. Unfortunately, my home button is now breaking. I tried connecting the USB to my computer and it won't connect that either. Any ideas on what to do? I'm almost always in a wi-fi zone so this is usually my main source of communication.

Turn on without Home/Power Button

Macbook keeps turning off and won't turn back on easily

My Mac keeps turning itself off randomly. This has been happening for a while now but it is far more frequent- perhaps once a day. It turns off during use and when I attempt to turn it back on it for some reason it makes a strange noise and wont turn on for a long time. I am unsure if this is because it needs to cool down first?
It is a Mac os x (10.6.8)13" if this helps?
If anyone knows how to fix this I would be truly grateful!!!

Try resetting the SMC. If that does not help, take it in for diagnosis. There "appears" to be a hardware problem, but it would need to be tested to determine the cause.
