That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

    Sorry, if I sound silly on this next question, or string of questions, but:
    What does EFI stand for?
    Is it an acronym for something?
    I thought that my MacPro is 64bit? Well that is as far as I remember the salesman telling me, back when I did the B.T.O spec.
    I am running 64bit apps [in full 64bit mode] as far as I understand. Like the CS suiite.
    If I look at "About Photoshop…" it says — Version 12.1 x64
    Doesn't that mean that it is running 64bit apps?
    Or are you saysing that the "entire operating system" / "bios" or whatever it is called in Mac language, is not actually capable of running as 64bit?
    I need to find my box, that came with the MacPro, ans just have a look at the info that is detailed on it. As as far as I can remember there was even a big "64bit" flashy thing, somewhere on the outside of the box.
    But in the meantime, if you can perhaps help with the earlier questions.
    And perhaps one more …
    Where woudl I find the info / persons that I could investigate that "Hack", as I may need to investigate that a little. If anything just to be better informed, for the future. At the end of the day, if I have to scrub the entire Mac to the beginging, and reload everything, so be it, at least it will be a learning curve in the process.
    I have all the legal software installers etc, so all that it will cost me is time, if it does "kill" the operating system …

    Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
    I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

  • HT2729 Purchased HD movie on ITune and tried to watch it on my TV using my IPAd Mini as the source and got flashing white images and then finally a motive that it could be watched using the TV aas a monitor.  Why? How do I avoid this problem?

    Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not.  Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph.  A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device.  Why?  How do I avoid this going forward?

    I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store.  The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

  • I'm using an ipad mini and facebook won't update. What's wrong with it?

    I'm using an ipad mini and it won't update facebook. There's no other updates to do with it and I can download apps. I've had the ipad since about the end of august sometime.
    Thank you

    There are a number of other posts about not being able to download the update to the Facebook app, and I also can't download it (on my iPad nor my computer's iTunes) - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix

  • HT3606 I have 10.5.8 software and aparently i need 10.7 or late to use my ipad mini what software can i download to bring it up to date and where from?

    i am having problems with the software updates on my pc, i have 10.5.8 currently and need 10.7 or later to be able to download newest itunes then i can finally use my ipad mini with the pc, how do i know which update will work i have tried numerous different updates to no prevail they all keep coming up with messages saying i need to download 10.6.8 or later.
    please help dont mind paying just need to know which one will work with my pc.
    many thanks

    First question is will your Mac run 10.7
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously
    If it will you must upgrade to 10.6 by purchasing the Snow Leopard install DVD from Apple.
