4s touchscreen slightly non-responsive and making "boxes" around any item i touch on the screen

Hello apple community,
I let my friend borrow my new iphone 4s for a second and when i got it back it had major screen issues.  For some reason when i use the touchscreen now it wont slide at all.  when i touch an app (or anywhere on the screen for that matter) a little box comes up around the app and i have to double click it to get it to open.  Other than that the phone still works fine, im guessing something is wrong with my settings??
PLEASE HELP!!!
thanks

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You could try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
    See if you are able to do a little hard drive maintenance to help things out.

  • How do I stop the firefox sidebar from flipping open and shut non-stop and driving me to almost smash my keyboard through the screen???

    I love firefox but the sidebar is a massive turn-off. It flips open and shut when your pointer inadvertently goes near the thing. If I had just started with firefox and had no history of it being brilliant (apart from insanely slow to open) I would never give it a second look. Dump the dumb sidebar thing or make it so you at least have to click it. As it is it's the single most annoying thing I've encountered in computers since I had windows Vista as an operating system - and we know how that story ended...yes in tears.
    Don't let that happen to firefox - it is too fantastic for a pathetic feature like this to unwind all the hard work of countless people around the world.
    If you cant piss it off for good at least make controlling it a primary informative guidline in Help.
    Seriously, it is worse than Vista and Millenium put together on the irritation index!! Only a true masochist (*ok, your average geek) would put up with it.
    There, that's better it's now off my chest. I need to take up Yoga.

    Sounds that you have installed an extension that has added that feature because Firefox doesn't do that by default.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Was updating my touch this morning when an error message occured, itunes became non responsive and was shut down.  My touch is locked in the itunes update mode and my computer no longer recognizes the touch.  How do I correct?

    During update, error occured and Itunes became non-responsive and shut down.  My Itouch is now locked in the itunes update screen and is no longer identified by my computer.  How do I fix this problem?

    Try this:
    DFU Mode / Unable to Update or Restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    DFU Mode
    Open iTunes and Connect the iPhone to your Mac
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time
    After 10 Seconds release the Sleep/Wake Button until iTunes tells you it has Detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode...
    The Phone Screen will remain Black... Now Restore.

  • My I pad is non responsive, and the screen is full of coloured stripes. How do I fix that?

    My brand new I pad 2 is non responsive and the screen is blac with horizontal coloured stripes.
    How do I fix that?

    You could try a reset : 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.
    If that doesn't work then other things to try are a restore via your computer's iTunes, and then reset back to factory defaults. If none of them work then you may need to contact Apple.

  • I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver and any other ones off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • I'm suddenly seeing 2-point black boxes around any desktop icon I highlight, and around various elements in any window I'm working in. I have a G5 PPC iMac running 10.4.11.  Neither restarting the machine nor running Mac Warrior has helped.

    Thanks! I often inadvertently turn on the voiceover when I use the wrong keys to send an element to the back in Quark. Funny, I turned off the voiceover on my own, but never noticed that the black boxes had gone away until I saw your post.

  • I have an iPod Touch 4G and i noticed soon after i bought it that the screen was slightly separated from the back metal plate on the top right corner...

    I have an iPod Touch 4G and i noticed soon after i bought it that the screen was slightly separated from the back metal plate on the top right corner, and I didn't have any problems up until a few days ago. The touch screen doesn't work properly in most places, and that is getting very annoying! So, my question is, can I get a replacement and if so which model would i get, the 4g or 5g?( I'm a little confused about which one I would get IF I were to get a replacement.) I would like an answer asap please!

    If under warranty and not abused Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one of the same mode.. Sorry, no upgrade.

  • No sound or Vibration for Incoming calls if phone is placed in pocket due to slight touch on the screen

    During incoming calls, a small touch on the screen will switch off the Sound and the vibration. This happens when the phone is placed inside the pant pockets. So i am missing many calls when i am travelling out. Any setting to remove this feature. 
    I tried using flip case but its spoiling the look of my Z10. So please help if there are any software setup 

    You can restore your phone to factory settings if you wish to see if it corrects your issue. Resetting to factory settings will wipe out all your data so you should save it first. To save all your stuff download and install BlackBerry Link on your computer from the link below. Resetting will not back-up the OS on your phone. Once you have downloaded and installed BlackBerry Link connect your phone to your computer and save your stuff. Once saved disconnect your phone from the computer.
    To reset your phone: tap the Settings App, scroll down and tap Security and Privacy, tap Security Wipe, tap the blank box and enter blackberry.
    Once Wiped reconnect your phone to your computer and install your stuff.

    Just a thought, but maybe consider returning the device.  Seems it might be a bit too complicated for you.

  • An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

    I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap.  If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there.  Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out.    But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
    Good luck!
