What to do if my IPAD screen keeps going off

Hi,
Hoping someone has the answer to this. Apologies if it is a frequent question.
I'm not incredibly technical but have had an Ipad for about six months.
I've had a continual problem with the screen going off when i'm in the middle of using it. I know it's the screen because any audio continues. The problem is getting worse and now sometimes the screen does not come back on even if I close the case cover and reopen it. The screen remains blank. I then have to leave it for ages and it will then work.
On most occasions it does not immediately go blank but rather flickers then goes off.
Thanks

It shouldn't be doing that. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

When using Maps as GPS, screen keeps going off - iPhone 3G

When I use maps as a gps, how do I stop the screen from going off?

But, that makes the auto-lock feature be turned off for all usages. What about if you only want the screen to stay on while you're using Maps? I have to turn off the auto-lock every time and then go back and turn it back on? It seems like this should be a setting in the Maps app instead of having to change the master settings.

Why does my Ipad screen keep freezing even after rebooting

My ipad screen keeps freezing and remains stuck. So in the last hour this has happened 3 times after hard "reboots". Can someone explain whats going on? Uwas not downloading anything ..only looking at Facebook.

Hello, Nina1711.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test the responsiveness of the iPad after processing these steps. If the issue persists, check to make sure you have space available on the iPad in Settings/General/About. If there is no space available you may want to remove unwanted Apps or media as this can cause the unit to become unresponsive. If these steps have been processed with the issue persisting, you will need to restore the device. Make sure to backup the device prior to restoring.

Give this a Try:

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me mad having to put my pass code in all the time and the screen keeps going blank :( HELP!

My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

I've run into the issue and it seems to be related to an app not fully supporting the iOS you're on, the reboot doesn't usually solve it.
I've solved it in the following manner(s):
1) Backup the device to iCloud, then erase the iPad (Content and Network Settings).
2) Setup the iPad and choose to restore from iTunes/iCloud Backup (wherever you backed it up)
3) Perform any software updates
I have not tried simply performing the software updates (which may fix it, but if it doesn't you won't be able to perform the above steps).
Enjoy.

I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
That being said, try to reset the device:
*Device reset*
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

My curve 8900 screen keep going white

in need of some help my curve screen keeps going white after turning it on sum time it come on ok for about 10mins then it locksup and go white again will try any thing to sort it

curtismartin50,
We from what you have described there seems to be an issue with the software on the phone or the phone itself. You can try to address the software by following these steps below:
1) Have you performed a hard reset, by pulling the battery out and waiting 2-3 minutes before rebooting when you place the battery back in?
2) You may want to try upgrading the device software by downloading BlackBerry Device Software fro blackberry.com
3) Have you performed a full "Wipe" on your BlackBerry Smartphone, you can do this by going to "Options" > "Security Options" > "General Settings" and press your Menu Key to choose "Wipe Handheld"
Note that this will delete all data on your device and restore the unit back to factory defualts!
Hope this helps

IPhone screen keeps going blank

My iPhone screen keeps going blank. If I reset the phone, it comes back on but after a while, it goes blank again. I don't know what to do?

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

MacBook Pro screen keeps going odd colours

My Mid 2009 MBP's screen keeps going a single colour full screen. It has happened several times. I have attached an image to show what happens.
I have tried to replecate it, but the first time it happened I was tying. The second time (turned grey) I moved the MacBook and the third time (burnt orange) I moved the display. I have since tried shaking the laptop, and moving the screen, but nothing.
Is this a common thing?

I don't know how much you're willing to spend to get a 'like-new' notebook, but you may want to take the machine into one of your local Apple Stores and ask about Apple's flat rate repair pricing. I don't know that it's available worldwide, but at least it's worth asking about.

Lenovo z50 screen keeps going black

I've had it for around 6 months with no problems, then in the last 48 hours, the screen keeps going black when I'm using it. It happens every 20-30 minutes. If I close the laptop lid and open it again, it works fine until the problem comes up again. I've tried downloading updates and placing a fan by it, but it keeps happening. Any ideas?

I dropped my ipod in coke. The screen keeps going black. Is there anything i can do?

i dropped my ipod in coke. The screen keeps going black. Is there anything i can do?

Your iPod is toast. No amount of dry rice is gonna help.
"Coke" and other carbonated drinks are acidic (carbonic acid), not to mention loaded with sugars and other nastiness.
The acid will "eat" metals, like the lead and tin in solder, most liquids will wreak havoc with the LCD display, and since "Coke" and its cousins are acidic, they are also good electrolytes and will conduct electricity.
You can try filing a claim against your home owner's insurace, but barring that, you're out of luck.

Wht does my computer screen keeps going dark?

Why does my computer screen keep going dark?

Good. This means that, in your existing account, a setting is bad or .plist file is corrupt. As identifying the rascal may take time, my suggestion is to move data to the new account, must be with administrative privileges. As the contents of each account is unavailable to the other, there are two methods:
- if you have a backup on an external disk, as you should (if not, consider this seriously, do not count on good behavior of hard disks), make a last backup on the existing account, and restore in the other account; when ready, delete the old (buggy) account
- if not, save your settings unto a flash drive; this is a limited backup just to avoid putting back settings for Mail etc. I am satisfied with iBackup (grapefruit.ch), but there are other backup utilitites, Time Machine, for example; TM does not allow limited backup, it works if you have a large external disk. If backup disk is not available, move files to shared folder, which is visibile from both accounts, and from there to the new account.
May seem difficult, in fact it is not. You must just move data from one account to another. Now, take care to new apps you install or new functions you activate. When you notice something strange, that may be the cause of this behavior.
