your image was an ISO burned to DVD or USB but not at slowest burn speed (a must!).
Otherwise... not sure as your description of your iMac and Windows lacks anymore details.

Installation on Macbook with black screen problems

Hi, Having a hard time installing BootCamp on a Macbook 2007 model..
It would go to the point when it is restarting from the XP disk to install and show a black screen.
I have tried everything I have read.
remove battery.
reset pram
do disk utilities off of Leopard Disk...
The machine is running 10.5.6
But the kicker is that it would install Vista fine from two different installation cd's but I have tried XP SP2 from at least four different cd's and would have the problem.
Anyone have any idea why it would install Vista (both home and business edition) fine but not XP SP2?
thanks
rsp

I'm dealing with this problem for a week now. Fact is, I could when I got my Mac do the partition using Boot Camp and install Vista. But last week I got an error message that windows can't find the ntoskrnl.exe (or that's defect). I couldn't start windows from the CD, I couldn't start it from another windows CD, nothing worked. Since I didn't have that many data on windows I decided to delete the partition and start from scratch using Boot camp. So far I tried to reboot probably 100 times trying out everything I found on all forums.
Using Disk Utility to check HD, run repairs, even erased everything on the new boot camp partition. That all works fine. But as soon as I restart from the CD to start the Windows installer I get a black screen.
Unplugging power cords for 30 seconds: no success
Holding down ALT/Option key: no success
taking the battery out: no success
running the FreeDos: no success (didn't start running the CD)
The solutions 1 and 2 suggested by LukeD: no success.
I'm pretty upset and lost right now. I do need a windows for running a learning software that wouldn't work on Mac. Now I'm trying to fix my Mac and I'm not able to learn anything at all.
Any suggestions?

Upon Bootcamp Installation Computer Boots to Black Screen

Hello,
I have just created a Windows 7 installation USB device. After the Bootcamp Utility partitions my HD for Windows the Macbook Pro reboots and goes to a black screen where it stays indefinitely. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Here is what I have tried so far:
-Manually choose the Bootcamp Partition to be the startup device (the drive is not an option when holding the "Option" key upon reboot)
-Used BootCHAMP to force it to boot into either the Partition or the USB device (both just went to black screen)
Also note:
-The Bootcamp Partition is visible in both finder and Disk Utility.

Edit: After some searching. I believe this is a graphics driver error. Anyone know how to solve an issue like that?

MacBook with Black Screen

I have a MacBook 2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo which I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. Within a day, I experienced the Black Screen. The MacBook is still funtioning as it is fully visible through Screen Sharing on my iMac.
I have reverted my software back to Snow Leopard Version 10.6.3 to see if this would resolve the issue.
Help!

Anyone know how to fix this issue?

If you had a Kernel Panic when you navigated to /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports you would have seen a folder for KP's. You didn't see one therefore no KP which means something else is going on.
If you want to do an erase and install it's not very difficult however before you do make sure you have a viable backup. My recommendation is either a Time Machine backup or even better create a bootable clone using Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner. IMHO it's wise to have redundant backups in the event one fails. Personally I use TM and SD on two separate external HD's.
To answer your question yes you can erase and install from teh orginal OS X Install DVD that came with your computer. If your machine orignally shipped with 10.5.x (Leopard) that is definetley the correct DVD to use. How you do is fairly simple:
With the DVD in the SuperDrive re-boot, when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option key and choose the DVD.
Choose the language then select the Utilities menu and open Disk Utility. In DU select the HD on the left then select the Erase tab, make sure the Format says "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then click Erase. This will totally wipe everything off your HD!!!!
Next exit Disk Utility and continue with the Install and as mentioned in my first post use the Setup Assistant guide to help you install and restore your data from the backup.
Assuming you don't have a hardware issue your system should work OK. If you still have a black screen you probably have a hardware issue and should take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP to have it professionally diagnosed.

I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
I hope I helped
thanks

Hello Bluebird,
See if it's related to this...
It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x
The 2012 macs (and later apparently) (also later OSX versions on earlier Macs can do it also), not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...

The sleepimage file still reappears even if never slept. Delete it (hibernate off, etc) - within minutes its back.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
What do I do??? Please help.

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

Ipod touch 4G stuck on swirling motion with black screen

So I jailbroke my ipod with absinthe a few days ago and everything has been working fine but today i used an app i downloaded from cydia (cant remember the name) and it started to respring and went on for a long time so restared my ipod and everything but it still came back to the same screen of a swirling motion with black screen after passing the apple logo. I tried restoring the ipod on itunes but an error keeps occuring and it wont allow me to restore. Itunes wont read my ipod either. My ipod will not allow me to do anything. What should I do?

Go elsewhere. Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty. It also means that you will not get any help from Apple, including from this Apple forum.

Iphone 4s. Phone dies with black screen intermittently. In spite of reboot attempts it wont come back for 10-15 minutes later with reboot. About three times in the last two weeks since IOS6 upgrade. One time the phone felt pretty warm.

Iphone 4s. My phone dies with Black Screen intermittently. It will stay dead in spite of hard reboot requests for 10-15 minutes. Then it will come back. The battery is plenty charged. This has happened about 3 times since upgrade to IOS6.

You're in luck! Your phone is still covered by the one year Apple warrenty. I would visit your local Apple retail store, or contact Apple over the phone. They should be able to help you out best!

Bootup with Black Screen and No Light from Keyboard

I did an update on my Mac tonight and it rebooted. My MacBook Air is set up reboot from bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional. There was the blinking cursor and then the Microsoft loading up green horizontal progress bar. Then the ready to use music was played but the whole screen went out with keyboard having no light. It seems that windows was booted up all right but there is a problem with the screen driver or something. How can I fix this?
I had this problem before when Windows 7 on bootcamp did a recent update about a week ago. The screen went dark - same problem. I went into Mac side to run my latest Parallel version. It booted up Windows & fine but the wimdows was not recognized as genuine. I called Microsoft and got the key to re-actuvate Windows fine with driver updates. Then when I rebooted from bootcamp, Winodws 7 came on all right like I had before windows update.
Now I cannot resolve the second time with black screen as the windows 7 was genuine when I open windows 7 with Parallel on Mac side. I do not know how to fix it now. Please advise and help.

Hey Rollino,
Sounds like you're in the "firmware trap" There were a lot a sites about this but this appears to have most of the info/procedures:
http://www.macintouch.com/panfirmware.html
The main trick is to use an external monitor and reinstall the firmware altho' some of the other tricks might help.
BTW Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Good luck.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
