TV Screen goes Black - Airplay and ATV3

Hey there,
I had been using airplay and had no issues at all. I have been trying to use it today and it won't work.
As soon as I turn AirPlay mirroring on my mac the tv screen goes black.
As a test I used airplay with my iphone and it worked.
Someone has posted a similar question but his solution did not work for me, I did restart both ATV and mac and still have the issue.
Could anybody help?

For me, Problem solved... sorta!

It appears that Parallels 7 is not compatible with Airplay Desktop Mirroring in ML
If you remove this file com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist
inside
/Library/LaunchDaemons
then reboot.
ATV3 now works again with Airplay Mirroring.
However, it breaks Parallels. And you simply cannot put the com.parallels.desktop.launchdaemon.plist file back inside /Library/LaunchDaemons. You need to re-install Parrallels. Could be a permissions thing, but I tried to repaire and follow Parallels instructions on how to start and stop the service.
I Hope this helps... If you don't use parallels, then it still could be something in the /Library/LaunchDaemons or /Library/LaucnhAgents directories

HT5457 I tried to update my iPhone 3gs over phone service and now it shows the apple logo like I just turned it on. Then the screen goes black. And it just keeps on repeating. So what do I do?

The Apple logo just flashes on and off and that keeps on repeating what do I do?

Plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

Ipod 4 screen goes black

Screen goes black randomly and then returns to the home screen on my iPod touch 4?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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 from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Quicksilver Screen goes black

Sometimes my screen goes black temporarily, and I found out my daughter says it happens to her all the time.
Tonight it just went out on me and the switch/light on the screen was blinking on and off. it was gone so long I went to shut it off at the tower and after holding the button it came on just in time to go to sleep.
any idears what's up with this?

If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
(username is your name or System Administrators name)
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.

HT201343 AirPlay Mirroring. The ATV3 screen goes black.

When my mid MBP 2011 connects via AirPlay Mirroring. Mountain Lion. The screen goes black. It has worked before. Now it doesn't. I checked firewall, graphics switching and rebooting all devices.
Streaming via iTunes works fine. ATV3 can access my MBP's library.
thanks!

I can not get my iPad to mirror with Apple TV. When I toggle to mirror the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. The iPad iso is up to date

I can not get my iPad to mirror on Apple TV. When I toggle the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. Have updated the iOS to latest settings and also updated the settings on the Apple TV

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Screen goes black and I get steady beeps

I have a 2004 HP Pavilion a600n, AMD processor with Window XP SP3 and 1 gb of ram. I have no viruses or spyware due to running McAfee, Malwarebytes, Spybot, Spyware Blaster, and Advanced System care.
My pc starts fine, but after about an hour, the screen goes black, and I get a series of steady beeps about a second long. There are no short, long beeps. Just steady short beeps and a black screen.
I am forced to shut down via the power button. When I try to restart, the beeping occurs again, and the monitor light remains orange.
I will let my pc sit for a day or two, and I can start it back up, the monitor light is green then, but after an hour, the whole process starts over.
I have no way of knowing if it's ram, video, or fans. My video is built into the motherboard.
I will run PC Doctor and clean the dust out of the fans, etc.
But I do not have a lot of money to just randomly go about replacing parts. Does anyone have any idea what is the most likely culprit?
Thank you in advance for any help.

If you have never done something like this before, maybe enlist a friend to help. I suggest you not remove the CPU heat sink if that chore is not a task done before, at least without a knowledgeable friend along.

Screen Goes Black and Hangs when browsing by Artist, Album, Song, etc.

I'm having a fairly huge issue with Front Row:
I can play video files (although their is a moment of hangtime between selecting a video and the video actually playing) and music files (if I choose the "Shuffle Songs" option), however, when I choose to browse my music by artists, albums, songs, genres, etc. my screen goes black and stays that way until I hit CMD+Q over and over until it finally quits. Furthermore, when I do play music via "Shuffle Songs" and quit out of Front Row, the music continues to play in the background and cannot be stopped, paused, etc.
Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this? I love Front Row and use it all the time and it would be a shame not to be able to anymore..
Thanks in advance,
Corey

I have a similar problem. When browsing music the screen goes to black or just freezes on whatever was beeing displayed for maybe 30 seconds to a minute before continuing. It happens quite often. I am running the latest version of Front Row on a brand new Mac Mini. I have a very large iTunes music folder (about 830 gigabytes of uncompressed AIFF files) running on an external FW800 drive. I tried repairing permissions and a number of Front Row and a few iTunes files appear in the list. However, when I run repair permissions again, the same files are still listed so obviously if they need to be repaired, it's not happening. I tried repairing the volume (no problems found) and repairing permissions from the Install disc but the result was identical.

Satellite L405D-11V - Freezes and screen goes black when watching video

Ok, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I have had a fault, basically, the computer would freeze at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still going, this could be on start-up, or a few hours into using the laptop, so I decided to ring up Toshiba's tech support and they arranged for my laptop to be collected and sent off for repairs.
I was able to track the repairs online through the tracking service, and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, it said that they ordered a part, it was in progress and the repairs were finished.
However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, everything is fine, I start using the laptop everything is fine, then I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so, I power off holding down the power button, hoping it was just a one off, I turn it back on, and load up the video again, it freezes and the screen goes black again, after working out that when ever I watch a video or play a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze like before the repairs. So there is still a fault, but im not sure what to do
Its still under warranty, I purchased the laptop from Comet, but I dont really want to send the laptop off for repairs again and to find it will come back with the same fault, is it worth sending it off again, perhaps seeing if comet will replace the laptop as its still under a year of buying the laptop, or is it just gonna be worth saving all the hassle and buying a new laptop? If this fault has happened to anyone else, I could sure use some help, and if someone could shed a little light as to what might be wrong?
Thanks

Hi buddy,
Did you change something on configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? Did you update a driver or something else?
What operating system you are using on your Satellite L405D?
To be honest its really hard to say why it happens because the technicians test everything to check if your notebook runs properly.
In my opinion you should try updating the display driver. Maybe its causing the issue
If not I would recommend installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings. These settings are pretested by Toshiba and should work.
If you still have the problem you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the repair online and according your posting everything worked well during repair so in my opinion it shouldnt be a problem to contact the guys exactly.
Explain your problem very detailed. I think everything can be clarified then. :)

N95 screen goes black when in between open and clo...

Just noticed today that the screen goes black when sliding open or closed. Screen comes back on when slider reaches open or closed. Is this like the blank screen fault that affected so many N80s ? I'm very disgusted that I have to pay to fix my 16month old (expensive) N95 for an ongoing issue with Nokia sliders that they HAVE NOT fixed in their design. Very poor support Nokia.

Scott your grieviences are justified... but there is always a solution to a problem...even if this is a strange problem to be handled in an off the routine way, be it so... once again best of luck! not blame nokia for anything...nokia rules as always and nokia's productions have become very slow now :-( i wish they could make trendy phones like sony, sleek and stylish with new features.in some ways, nokia gets a little boring with no new features.. i dont feel any differnce between the nokia n95 8gb, n96 and n85(which i currently own)!
Scott lets hope for the best :-)

Let's first try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

My ipod touch is flashing white on and off, I hold the buttons down, and the screen goes black- but the apple logo does not come on. What do I do?

So I have had this problem before, and know that you hold down the top Power button and the Home button, at the same time, for roughly 10 seconds, or until the apple logo comes on.
The problem is, when I press the buttons and the screen goes black, like it's supposed to before the logo pops up, the apple logo isn't appearing.
I was wondering if that's because my I pod touch was drained when I plugged it in to charge, and I tried to turn it on when it was still charging?
What can I do?

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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

IMac screen goes black after 1+ hours of use and we can't get out of this.

I have a mid-2007 iMac. When anyone is on the computer for approximately 1-1.5 hours, the screen goes black and we cannot get out of this. There are no time restrictions or power-saver settings on. Can anyone help me with this issue?

You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
