Yosemite update crashes all systems. Black blank screen.

Updating to Yosemite is a nightmare. Now, all I get is a black, blank screen. Apple updates are destructive.

Hi @Ersatz ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Pavilion
Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. .
Here is a document on overheating that might help both issues of black screen and overheating.
Here is a document on computer will not start.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices before starting troubleshooting.
With the inverter it is the easiest part to replace and the least expensive.

Big Black Blank Screen Sharing on Snow Leopard

I have upgraded all three systems in the house to Snow Leopard (MBP, MP, iMac). I have always been able to use screen sharing between them. I've checked the System Preferences for Screen Sharing.
I can connect (clicking "Share Screen" from Finder), but I get a black/blank screen. Moving the mouse in the screen does not move it on the other system. Doesn't look like any possibility of sharing screens...
Any idea what to do to fix this? When I next travel this is going to be a really big deal! Thoughts?

Here's what I see in Console:

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.

Doesnt boot Black/Blank screen when a cd-rom is connected - MSI x58 Platinum

i7 920
MSI x58 Platinum *latest bios, updated it after experiencing this issue*
Corsair 3x2gb TR3X6G1600C8
OCZ OCZ700MXSP 700W SLI/CrossFire Active PFC
geforce 280gtx
Windows 7 64bit
This is a build working perfectly for over a year.. well one day my mom turned off the computer when I got home it wouldn't boot I disconnected/reseated everything and was able to figure out if I didn't have my dvd drive hooked up it will boot perfectly fine. I should note that the drive shows up fine in the bios and that with a pata hard drive it will load windows fine.
I've tried 2 pata drives and 1 sata drive all working/tested in other machines .. and it stops at the same exact spot every time right after the bios and before the Windows logo would normally pop up it will just sit on a black/blank screen forever. I have never heard of a issue like this where it wasnt the ide channel going bad or the drive itself but since a harddrive on the ide channel works i assume its good.
I didnt know if i should post this in the windows 7 64bit forum or this but im leaning towards motherboard as the issue because it still freezes at same exact spot even with no hard drives connected , so I couldnt boot anything from the dvd-drive. I'm also thinking its the mobo because i had it repaired a year ago, see my old thread here
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127312.msg958264#msg958264
Any idea's or suggestion please let me know.

A PSU acting up can cause some strange things to happen. Have you confirmed that the DVD drive is working correctly?

Is the DVD drive enabled in the boot sequence?

Boot With V-COM System Commander & Blank Screen

I have V-Com System Commander ver 7 installed on my computer for multi boot start ups. With my previous Nvidia video card I had an active visual System Commander screen at boot up where I made my choice of OS’s for the boot. After installing the MSI G4 Ti4200-TD-8X64 I get a black/blank screen with a “out of range” message. The System Commander has loaded (but screen is black) and I have to guess as to where to place the mouse to get the OS to continue to boot.
Can you help me with this problem.
If I reinstall the previous Nvidia video card I get the visual screen back. So I feel that the MSI G4 Ti4200-TD-8X64 is not setup correctly for my computer.
Thanks, [email protected]

Deathstalker,
System Commander is a OS dual/multi boot software app. I currently boot to either WIN93SE or XP. The screen is only black/blank during the boot sequence, but that is when System Commander gives you the option of OS's to boot with. If I am lucky enuf to guess and 'click' on where the radio button is for either WIN95 or XP, the appropriate OS boots and all is well. As stated B/4 I only get the "out of range" statement at this time. I have tried refresh rates from 60 to 85 with no luck.
Thanks for the interest.

Update notification shows there are updates but when I click on the update option it shows a blank screen

The update option on the app store shows a notification that I have 'n' numbers of updates but when I click on the update option it only shows a blank screen. Even after updating the apps individually from the purchased option, the update option still shows a blank screen instead of "All you applications are up to date". Please help.

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. According to Fly150in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

Black/blank Screen when connected remotely

Zenworks 10.3.3
I've only come across one other post on this forum concerning this issue. Sometimes when we're remotely connecting to an XP workstation all that appears is a black/blank screen. The management and remote machines are MS Win XP Pro SP3, pretty well up to date with security patches and all. On the remote computer, the screen saver at logon is disabled, desktop screen saver is disabled, the NIC is allowed to bring the device out of standby, standby is enabled and hibernation is disabled. If you send it the reboot command, more often then not, you can catch it back at the login screen and go about your business.
Might Zen 11sp1 fix this?

Is anyone at the Device to see what state it is in when this happens?

Abdussalam.A,
you mentioned that Terminal does not work at all for your MacBook Pro. What currently happens when you run Terminal? In what way does it not work?

13" MBP died. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights are visible. Any ideas??

My friends MBP died the other night. He put it on sleep mode one night and the following morning, and when he went to turn it on the following morning it would't. Only a black blank screen and blinking lights. There is no sound or anything. BTW it is a mid-2010 MBP, no added hardware, everything stock. It wasn't custom configured, and I believe he upgraded to Lion earlier this year. I read somewhere that depending how quickly the lights are blinking could indicate a specific problem. Is this true? He is planning on taking it an Apple store, but figured we would try here first since it is a bit of a drive, and the warranty has expired. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are just trying to get an idea of what we are dealing with. Thank you!

Looks like hardware problem.
Apple can fix it. Take it to Apple as soon as possible.

Black blank screen appears when unlocking iOS screen

Hi!
I am developing and Adobe Air application for iOS. I have the following issue. If I have my app open and lock my iPad and then unlock my device, I see a black blank screen instead of my application contents. In order to make the app work again, I need to press the home button, and press the app icon again. Then the application appears fine from the point I had left it before locking the device.
Any suggestions on how to fix this issue? I use Adobe Air for iOS 3.8
Thanks a lot.

I was able to fix it:
I tried this ANE http://forum.starling-framework.org/topic/ane-fix-for-blackblank-screen-bug-when-returning -to-air-android-apps
After some testing I noticed, that the mentioned manifest-flag "<containsVideo>true</containsVideo>" does the job for me on his own...

BLACK/BLANK Screen K9A Platinum

i built my computer a few months ago, never had any problems with it until recently. I ordered a Noctua NH-U12F heat sink to instll onto my cpu, after i installed the heat sink my computer won't work. whenever i turn on my computer i just get a blank screen, nothing works now. i don't know what to do. i have not been able to get into windows or bios, a black/blank screen appears. here are my specs.
K9A platinum
amd x2 2.4ghz
diamond max 1950XTX
4gb pc6400 corsair xms2
antec 500w psu
antec p180 case
if anyone has any suggestions or solutions please respond.
thanks

Yes and be careful when you do that. You probably pulled it out of the socket when you removed the old heatsink. So, some pins may be bent or even broken off. When you remove heatsink, move it a bit over the cpu - don't lift it, just turn it gently, move it gently up and down utnil you feel that the thermal gel does not hold the cpu anymore.
Also, be sure to clean the cpu top (old greace should be removed) and be sure to apply new thermal greace (not too much - the drop should have the size of a pin's head).
