Water damaged white/dark grey screen
I have an iPod nano 4th gen. and its taken quite a bit of damage. Its screen is now white and fades to dark grey and I cant see much, but it would still play my music, videos, etc. It also has a slightly splotchy screen, which is most likely water damage. It was working fine before I had dropped it and left it outside for a couple hours. I tried resetting it to factory settings, and it didn't do anything. Is there any way I can fix this? Its an older ipod, about 7 years, way out of the warranty. Id prefer not to buy a new one, so any help will be appreciated.
Sorry, there's nothing can be done.
Your nano is corroding slowly but surely.

Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

My ipad 3 stuck with a dark grey screen
Firstly hello fellow members,
This is my first time on here and unfortunately its with a problem .
My ipad 3 is stuck with a dark grey screen which looks like 6 equally spaced horizontal lines/bands.
Ive tried holding the buttons down for a reset & restoring in itunes but nether worked and just goes back to the grey screen.
Any help would be great.Welcome and sorry to hear about your iPad.
I agree with Ralph. If you restored, rebooted.... there is nothing more to try. Take it to an Apple Store and let them have a look. -
I have Preview as my default pdf reader. Every time I download a pdf file, I get a dark grey screen. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I also installed Adobe Reader because an ebook I downloaded wouldn't open without it.
I then chose Adobe Reader as my default. When I later uninstalled it using the Trash Me app-which usually clears everything out-I couldn't get Preview back as the default.
I went to the "Library/Internet plug-ins" path and trashed the two Adobe Reader plug ins that were there. I used Secure Empty Trash, and then shut down completely and did not check the box to reopen any windows. Then I restarted the Mac.
I not only shut down Safari, I closed all applications and shut down the Mac completely being sure to uncheck the "relaunch with windows open" button. When I turned the Mac back on, I opened Safari and went to an online PDF that I had been trying to open previously to test the app. It opened this PDF using Preview and showed it in Safari.
I then tested using a PDF from my files and it opened in Preview.
Quit Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy / paste: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go then move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari to test. -
Install fail - dark grey screen
I just downloaded Mavericks and did a restart when prompted. After the restart the Apple logo appeared and then the spinning wheel. After about 15 more seconds the Mac goes pretty much quiet and the screen becomes dark grey.
After a forced restart it's the same and also if I try to start with the recovery disc.
I have a dead computer in front of me and any help is appreciated.Ok, hopefully I have solved this myself.
My computer is connected to my TV as second screen. The TV was turned off, but probably suddenly was assigned as my primary screen. As I restarted I looked at my darkened computer monitor while the update was going on on the TV that was turned off.
I disconnected my tv and I now have the update window running. Hopefully I didn't screw anything up by several force restarts. -
Dark Grey screen telling me to restart
I saw a similar post, but the resolution referred to the G5, not the Intel IMac. I use my imac pretty hard, i use it for work. Every other day, i get this grey screen telling me to restart. (this is my first mac) when i restart, i do repair disk. Seems ok for about 48 hours. I usually have many programs open> entourage, dreamweaver, photoshop, parellels, itunes, neooffice, firefox.
thanks for any help
Imac Duo 2GB Mac OS X (10.4.7)i found the panic log. Maybe someone can try to interpret it for me. I notice the last thing says netblockade4 (this was something that i installed, and thought i removed) are there system files hidden?

Flash installer has a blank dark grey screen
I am trying to install Flash player in Firefox (latest version) and windows 8 OS (rather unimpressed with it but...). The program downloads fine. It prompts me to run it and that goes fine. It asks for permission to make changes. I grant it. The it starts but all I see is a an empty gray box. No writing, no status bar, simply a dark grey/black box with a blue frame. It never does install and work.
I have read through the installation troubleshooting guide and tried some of the suggestions for windows but it was no help. What should I try next?
PS This is not an easy forum system to use or get help on. None of the communities seem like logical places to post this question.I'm having the same problem J_george and have been for months. I've also done a post requesting help, I will let you know if I hear anything.
Thanks -
My 6 turned off with a full charge and will. It turn back on. Have tried resetting, flipping mute switch and all recommended Apple suggestions. It very briefly flashes the Apple logo and then nothing. There is a slight color change of the screen, but no suggestion of working. Tried recharging, Nothing.

ALso, I can't get into the phone to get a serial number so can't chat with Apple about this problem.
You can find the serial number of the device in multiple places:
A) Engraved on the back of the device is the IMEI number. That corresponds directly to the Serial Number.
B) On the box it came in.
C) If you made a backup to iTunes previously, you can find the serial number in the Preferences window, under Devices.

Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
It would help a lot if you could update your profile to indicate exactly which G5 you have and what OS you are running. Generally these problems are caused by RAM, but it could also be something else. If you could provide more system information it would be helpful.
Try running the Apple Hardware Test that came with your system and see if it reports any problems.
Is the RAM original or have you added some? Have you performed any system updates or added any new hardware or software recently?
Luck-

Can anyone help please? My daughter dropped her ipon touch 4g into water which resulted in it being ruined. We bought her a new one three days ago and she has just dropped it and cracked the screen!!!
Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
Thanks in advanceYour very best option would be to take it to an apple store and exchange it for an alike model which can be a refurbished, or new unit. The repair/exchange price is about 99USD. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

SMC Grey Screen- No Progress bar
I just got my Randomly Shutting Down white MacBook back from Apple after 3 weeks+ in the shop and when I installed the SMC update there was no status bar when the computer came on. I heard the fan, but now it is just a dark grey screen.
Arg what ever happened to macs JUST WORKING?
This is anything but.
Help!I finally after about 20 minutes held down the restart button and now it just goes right to the grey screen with nothing else. no system folder question mark nothing. Great. It was working for about 5 minutes. I updated and now I am back to a non working laptop.

my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?
iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
