Why does app go black and screen goes back to main menu?

Restore re-installs the iPad's operating system. You can first try Restoring it with a back up which will return your iPad back to it's previous settings. If this doesn't fix it you will have to start fresh and Restore it as a new iPad. Just remember the back up file does not contain media files synced from a computer. Camera Roll photos are in the back up however I would get a more permanent back up of it's photos on a computer before Restoring.

Iphone crashes and goes back to main menu

my iphone has begun crashing when i play music and then try to go to the phone or safari apps. the whole phone doesn't crash but the music stops abruptly and it goes to the main menu instead of where i want it to go. i've seen a few other posters with this problem but wanted to let others know that it's not so isolated an incident.

If resetting and power cycling the iphone does not resolve the issue, you might want to restore the iphone.
Here is a link to an article on the Apple support site the will help in restoring the iphone.

I had a download on my angry birds game and now it does not work just turns screen black and then goes back to normal

my angry birds showed an update so i did, when it finished i cannot play it now, when try to play the welcome screen comes up and then after a few seconds turns black and then the phone returns to normal

I suggest taking it back to Best Buy. Once it has been opened, Apple will not handle the phone. Best Buy or another 3rd party are your only choices. Best Buy probably made an error when replacing the screen. Understand they are not an authorized Apple Service Center.

Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

Why does playback stop when my screen goes to sleep?

Hi guys,
I have a mid-2010 MBP with MAC OS X 10.7.3 and itunes10.5.3 (3).
I've started to get this strange issue. When monitor goes to sleep, itunes playback stops.
I tray to change enervy saver option and I did this,
- computer sleep after 3h
- monitor sleep after one minute.
- itunes plays music
After one minute, monitor goes to sleep and so does itunes, why this is happening to me ?!?!?
This thing makes me crasy, since with other program playback (see VLC) I don't get this.
Please somebody help me in undestanding and solving this!!!
Thanks
Riccardo

The problem is that in lion "monitor sleep" means HDMI sleep too. So when you're listening to music with HDMI when your monitor goes to sleep, so it does your HDMI and audio through it!!
That's really non sense

What should I do if my music won't play? When I press it it shows the song and then goes back to the menu.

Please help.

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

Hi, I have an iphone4 and all of a sudden none of the apps (except the ones that came with the phone) will open. The screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Sorry for double post, doesnt seem to be an edit option, this also works both ways.

You know how you download apps, well let's say you have two devices and get an app on one and it goes to the other, how do you remove it from doing that?

why does my facebook, safari and mypad app close out all of a sudden constantly

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appear. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My apps on my iPod 4th generation keep closing out on me, why does it do that, and how can I stop it?

The above comment is not helpful to me, and I'm also guessing many people, but who knows. I've seen the same recommendation in many, many threads on this same topic, but only once have I seen that the resolution solved the problem for anyone, unless those people didn't follow up. Anyway,I found the below comment which made sense and may be the source of the issue. Too many apps running in the background - turn them off or simply do a hard reset to kill them all at once.

Apparently, ios closes apps it can't (or thinks it can't) run because of too few RAM available. Double-press the home button and close any still running apps in the background. There are apps that serve to clear up some of your RAM. You will need to do this every once in a while, though.
Clearing disk space will also help - remove any files you don't need/use and try to keep a clean disc in overall.

The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.
