The screen on my touch is completely black and no matter what i do it stays that way but it will still sync everytime i plug it in. Thoughts?

The backlight still works though...

Try hthe following:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore the iPOd from backup via iTunes
- Restre the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem. then it is very likely due to a hrdware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in ordert o confirm and outline your options.

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 iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted

I pulled down the notification center, tapped the "tap to tweet" and my phone was jammed. It stayed that way for a minute then restart itself. Is there any way to fix it or at least give me an explanation

Hi Abbie. You have every reason to be upset. These issues normally happen in our country. You can send them an email regarding your concern here:

Regarding your battery, you can probably reset the SMC and see if that improves your battery life. Here are the steps.

Hello, I have iPhone 5 have been using it since July 2013 and suddenly today the screen went black.

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

My iPod Touch Is Completely Black Or Shut Off What Do I Do To Get It Back On?

Well I left The Room For A Sec And When I Cam Back it Was Completly Black Or turned Off Or Somthing Like That Iv Tryed Charging It And Holding Buttons And Also When I Plugged It Into My Lab Top iTunes Didnt Reconize It And Iv Tryed Callin Tech Support But Sense Its A Holiday No One I There!!! Has Any One Else's iPod Touch Done This To them If So What Did You Do To Get If Working Again??

First, you might consider posting in the correct forum. This is the iPhone forum.
Have you held the home button and on/off button down together until the apple logo appears (this can take upwards of 30 seconds)? This is often the first step in getting a stuck iOS device to work.

The screen of my macbook pro remains black and blank. I need help

My computer screens fails to come on at start up. It just stays black and blank. I have tried a couple of reboot sessions but all to no avail. Can anyone out there help me please.

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.

My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off. I recharged and reset. What else should I do?

My iPod Nano 2nd gen. has a black caterpillar-like shape on the screen when turned off.
It disappears when turned on. It must mean something. I recharged and reset. What else, if anything, should I do?

You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

The screen on my iPhone 5 when black and is unresponsive.

While updating an app on my iPhone 5 the screen froze and then went black. Now I have a black screen that is unresponsive. I can hear the phone ringing when someone calls but cannot answer it, and cannot do any type of search. What's wrong with my phone? Any idea?

Hello Mayagüez,
I would be concerned too if my iPhone screen was black. I recommend following steps 2-6 below:
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Ipod touch 2nd generation, won't charge but it will still sync with itunes

Everything works except it wont charge. it has the 'done charging symbol' in the battery except its pretty much dead. i know its not a bad usb port or anything because you can still put songs on it and stuff. now it just keeps switching from charging to done charging and i have no idea what's wrong with it. help please?

I would do a restore and see if the problem corrects itself. You might also want to try a wall charger.
Since you posted on the Apple side of the forum, I'm going to assume you have some type of Apple computer. Don't plug your touch into the keyboard USB port (it won't charge) and a restart will re-intialize your USB ports. I would try those steps as well.
If you continue to have problems, it is time for a repair or battery replacement.

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.

The screen on my touch is completely black and no matter what i do it stays that way but it will still sync everytime i plug it in. Thoughts?
