Wont show me the unlock screen???

I just receently undated my iphone and restored it although I lost all of my pictures and contacts. Now when I use the phone and it goes in lock after I'm not using it I cant get to see the unlock screen by pressing the home key. The screen just goes black and stays black. The only way I can get it to come back on it by pressing and holding the two buttons the one time for about 30 seconds. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Why is the unlock-screen of my iPad mini showing black or blue lines?

    3 days ago, i bought an iPad mini at the apple store. Everything is working perfectly, but ever since I first started it, I'm noticing some black or blue lines at the bottom of the screeen on the unlock screen. They disappear after one second.
    I already updated to the latest version, and I did a hard-reset, but this didn't help.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    HI i have the same issue with my ipad mini retina. it appeared too out of nowhere after  more than a month of using it.  my device wasn't dropped or exposed to any liquid substance. At first only a single line appeared and then it grew to this. How did you fix yours? did you return it?

  • My Aluminum iMac wont go to the login screen, just shows the Grey screen.

    I have had my iMac for a little longer than a year, and the warranty expired last month. When i turn it on, i get the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning gear, it wont go to the login screen. I have restarted it a few times, but nothing is working. A few weeks ago I had a similar problem where i could only log into my guest account and not the main account on the computer, i restored my system from time machine and it has worked fine until today. The hard drive has been making weird noises for quite some time now, but i havn't had other problems besides that. What should I do?

    I have done this many times, and it says that everything is fine. There is probably some hard drive problem from what i have heard, but i just restored the system from time machine again and everything is working...when I did this last time, within a week or two, it went back to the problem I had in my original question. I am thinking of reformatting the hard drive, and putting all of the files and programs that I need onto the external drive, so I can have a fresh start. Do you know if this might solve the problem? Are there any other options? Thanks

    Hello 3m4nz4,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support
    Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may occasionally stop responding to buttons, switches, or touchscreen input and may exhibit one or more of these symptoms:
    Does not return to the Home screen after you press the Home button
    Does not wake from sleep after you press the Sleep/Wake button
    Does not turn on (or power on) when you press any button
    Does not start up past Apple logo
    Appears frozen or unresponsive
    Is unable to "Slide to Unlock" or "Slide to Power Off"
    To troubleshoot these symptoms:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    Hi Apple user 789,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • How can I get the iPhone icon to show on the iTunes screen. I want to check some music for loading into the phone, can't locate the phone icon.

    I always have trouble moving music from my MacPro to my phone. The phone icon doesn't show on the iTunes screen where it's supposed to. I may be missing some setup step that makes the phone show there. Any clues?

    Plug the cable into the iPhone and into a USB port directly on your computer, not a USB hub. Also make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.

  • The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

  • My macbook pro wont get past the grey screen at startup. Help!!

    After doing a run of the mill software update on my macbook pro (running snow leopard) it froze during the "moving items into place" stage. I forced a shut down and now it wont get past the grey screen with apple logo and spinning wheel. I have tried booting from the original DVD but it still freezes. When I boot it in verbose mode it seems to stop at "jnl: unknown-dev: update_fs_block: error reading fs block # 3597880! (ret 5)", the Apple AHCD Disk Queue manager :: set power state is timing out and there is a disk I/O error. I have tried to reset the power manager (not sure if it worked or not) and I have also tried clearing the PRAM (again, not sure of that worked). When I try to look at the hard drive using target mode on my imac the hard drive doesn't come up but the DVD does. I'm concerned that my hard drive is fried. Any suggestions?

    It would help to state in your post which remedies you tried that didn't work.
    Start here >  OS X Lion: If you see a gray screen at startup
    If nothing there helped, try Starting up in Safe Mode
    Safe Mode deletes some system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple menu.
    If a Safe Mode boot didn't work, since your Mac has OS X v10.7 installed, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access OS X Recovery built in utilities. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Tip:  Hold down the Eject key while starting up your Mac to eject a disc.

  • HT3180 My Apple TV keeps showing on the TV screen a white cable coming from the Apple TV to ITunes. There is nothing at all coming from the Apple TV unit itself - no flashing light, nothing. We have connected to the Apple computer  - no success.

    My Apple TV has been working perfectly until last night. It now shows on the TV screen a white cable going from I Tunes to the back of the Apple TV. When we connected this to the computer using a micro cable the Apple TV isn't showing anywhere on the ITunes sight. When a search is done it doesn't come up at all. It's as if the Apple TV is dead. Not sure what to do as this was the last attempt at restoring its settings as per instructions.

    Did you follow the steps exactly? Removing all cables, then connecting via micro usb. If you have a 3rd gen device you need to connect the power following micro usb.

  • I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help
