  • TS3274 My ipad display will not function, the screen will not display anything when turned on, you can see that the screen lights up but it is completely black

    The screen on my iPad will not display, the screen lightens up when powered on but the screen stays black, any fix for this that I can do at home?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I don't know why the screen is at full brightness when it starts up?

    I have noticed this issue after the installation of Mountain Lion to my concerns, and is a bit confusing to see that. It seems like I'm the only one that has that issue. My brightness is set at the lowest level, but the display at startup (when the Apple Logo is there) is at maximum brightness. But halfway through startup, before the user screen comes up (grey background); the displays returns to its set brightness. I'm seeking for a quick answer to determine if this is an issue. I'm running on Mountain Lion (10.8.1), and I never expected this. I did have at least 5 third-party applications downloaded from the Mac App Store, and I suppose that's the reason. I have a 13" MacBook Pro, with a native resolution of 1280x800.

    sorry it hasn't been a week, it has been about 2 months. The product tag is incorrect.

    Try resetting your phone, hold the home and sleep/wake button down until the apple symbol comes up, then release. If that doesnt work, you may have damaged your phone and need to take it to an apple genius bar.

  • I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

  • Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

  • I want the screen to look as it was turned off

    During some seconds, I'd like to have a black similar to the one when the TV screen is turned off. I tryed with a generated black, but there's still too much light in the screen and it doesn't look like the TV is turned off. Any clues on which parameters should I change to get this effect?

    I don't think you can convince someone their t.v. is off, when it is not. I'm not sure about LCDs or Plasmas, just the old picture-tube t.v.s. Sure, you may be able to project an "off" black, but there's the sound of the electricity running through the t.v., as well as the glow- you can just sense it is on. Also, when a t.v. is off (and I'm not near one now, but going by memory) it is not black. Usually they're more of a grey/black, sometimes with some brown or green mixed in. In other words, the other guys here can probably help you with a good black, but as far as the overall effect, that's very tough to pull off. The fuzz/snow was a good suggestion, or maybe use an effect of the picture turning off (ie, flashing down to a single point on the screen that fades away- like when one turns off some t.v.s) and then use the color the other people here suggest.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years) and the screens has gone black and wont turn on.  Phone is charged. We have tried force quit- home screen and top button. help pls

    We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years). The screen has gone black and wont turn on.  Phone was charged. I have tried force quit- home screen and top button. iTunes is not recognizing phone when I plug into computer.  help pls

    FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

  • I can no longer see my pictures.....the screen is white boxes but when I click on the box an exclamation point pops up. Please Help!!!!

    I can no longer see my pictures.....the screen is white boxes but when I click on the box an exclamation point pops up. Please Help!!!!

    The exclamation point occurs when iPhoto breaks/loses the file path to the original file.  So try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot AND
    the option to rebuild the small thumbnails. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours there is nothing just a waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are response so i do need your help plz

    hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours waiting (as known it takes a 1 to 2 minutes maximum) there is nothing just a blank screen and a running waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are responsed so i do need your help plz & thanks in advance..

    Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

    Hey Destiny24
    Check out the iPhone Hardware troubleshooting guide in the Display section. It has a section for not having any backlight. If you cannot get it resolved, there are some links towards the bottom of the article for further options when it cannot be resolved.

    I was typing an email to friend. I put the ipad down to answer the door and came back a few minutes later and the screen had gone blank and when I tried to get the message that I was typing back I could not find it.  The message contained a lot of text and pictures.  How can I find it? I have looked in drafts.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Why the screen flickers and moves from one app to another by itself without being touch?

    Why the screen flickers and moves from one app to another by itself without being touch?

    Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I am currently using an ipod touch 3. When i record in voice memos with the apple earphones(with an inbuilt mic) i can see on the screen that its recording; but when i hear it, its just a long beep. Need some help!

    I am currently using an ipod touch 3. When i record in voice memos with the apple earphones(with an inbuilt mic) i can see on the screen that its recording;
    but when i hear it, its just a long beep. Need some help!

    Does the mic work for other apps like Voice Control?

    Have you tried it with another mic?
    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.
    - Reset all settings

    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
