About the "magic" mint-green borders on iPhones, iPads ...

Just recently I found my golden iPhone 5S to show strange green borders on display.
I called Apple, reported the problem and they sent me a new unit for 29€.
Some time later I won an iPod Touch 5G on Ebay. Told to be in a fine condition. It had a dent. But what was a real problem for me: Green borders. The same borders I knew from my iPhone 5S.
As the iPod was still under EU warranty (up to 2 years) I gave it to a Re-Seller workshop who reported the flaw and sent a claim to Apple. But Apple refuses to solve the problem. Apple says, the dent would be a clue against the suspicion the green borders had made an appearance before the device shipped.
There are 3 very clear hints that the borders had been caused by a lack that existed before the unit was sold:
1) My iPhone 5S
2) Reports of other users with the same problem.
3) It is absolutely impossible to explain who anyone would be able to cause such a flaw.
I don´t see why Apple is stealing itself away with some strange explanation.
What do you think ? Am I right or wrong ? Same problem anywhere else ?

Well. This is not caused by any app nor is it a software fault in general. But someone told me, that the owner could have let change the screen after the damage that caused the dent. Anyway, this problem exists. The question is how many units are affected and why this is. However. Cheers.

  • How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    How do I add music to the cloud from PC to my iPhone, iPad, and Apple tv?

    icloud does not handle music, except for letting you download music you previously bought at the iTunes store.  For music, get it into iTunes on your PC, then connect your devices to the PC and using iTunes to sync it to them.  Not sure about Apple TV.  I think that might require buying a subscription to iTunes Match.

  • Lion mountain newest update :I loos the internet connection, but the network shows connected. And IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. Only the MacBook Pro , which worked perfectly before with Lion unless I updated to Mountain. I have tried everything.

    I have a MacBook Pro, Early 2011, 2 GHz Intel Core i7 which I udated some days ago with Lion Mountain 10.8.2. Before it worked just perfect. Now, since the update,  I loos the internet connection after a wile, (at the beginning every 20 sec, now up to 4 hours) even that the sign of the WiFi network connection shows to be perfectly connected.
    My other divices like IPhone, IPad stay connected and work. The rooter is new and cannot be the problem. I tried nearly everything I found on the bloggs, but nothing helped actually. It must be a softwear problem on Lion Mountain, what can I do?
    Thanks for any help

    I FINALLY SOLVED THIS ISSUE!!!!
    New routers have "mixed" modes for your network; this means that it will automatically choose the best option between wireless-B, wireless-G and wireless-N network modes. I used to experience this issue using the 2.4 GHz. mixed mode wireless network.
    Thankfully, my router can create 2 networks: a 2.4 GHz. network and a 5 GHz. network.
    When I randomly changed this value to "use only wireless-B and wireless-G" trying to fix an issue with a wi-fi expander, the iMac wi-fi  issue dissapeared! I tried it with wireless-N only, but it didn't work.
    So, finally, I have a 2.4 GHz network with only wireless-B and wireless-G modes which works PERFECT with the iMac, and a 5 GHz. network with a mixed* wireless mode for everything else mode.
    *PD: by "mixed" mode it means that the router will automatically choose between B, G and N network modes as it fits better.

  • Whats the best way to connect multiple iphones, ipads, ipods with multiple accounts to one mac

    I have iPhone 5s, ipad 4th gen ipod classic and mac mini on one itunes account with iphone 4s with ipad 1st gen on another account (wife's account) and also want to be able to add to this in the future. I want to connect through the mac mini and be able to use music movies calanders reminders etc through all our i's, whats the simplest and best way to go about this, before i start down the wrong road.

    Ok, here is the link to the original thread.  The key, for him, was that all of the pads used the same apple id, and needed to be set up identically.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15456170#15456170
    The other trick they use for distributing materials for whatever class was using the pads, was to create an e mail account that they all had acees to.  The documents, pdf, or whatever, would be e mailed to the account.  Each kid accesses and downloads the email.  Does whatever they are supposed to do, and e mails the done result back to the mailbox.     Easy for the teacher and the kids.

  • HT204053 Can my children and I use the same apple ID with different iPhone iPad and iPod ?

    I am having trouble with my new iPhone 5 address book and some updates on the apps store
    There's some old apple ID that is showing up. I don't even remember this email address
    What can I do to adjust all this
    Thanks

    You can certainly use the same ID for an itunes store account to share purchased items.  However for icloud, it's designed so that each account pertains to one user for each of his/her devices.  The main purpose of icloud is syncing and backups of iOS devices.  Do you really want to have the same email account, same contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc?  Usually a couple needs to have separate icloud accounts.  They can share calenders if they want.
    The danger of two users using one account is if one user edits or deletes (on purpose or accidentally) data, that will propagate to the other user's devices.

  • No Scrolling on the Magic Mouse 10.5.8

    I have installed my new magic mouse and have 10.5.8. All functions work except for the scroll feature. I ran all software updates but this is not working. The video about the magic mouse leads me to believe that I have to have Snow Leopard. Is this true? When I go to system preferences and click on Mouse, I can only adjust the tracking and clicking speeds, no options for the scroll feature. I'm sure there is an easy solution for this one.......

    This thread should help. Note the link at the top for the Magic Mouse software is incorrect you need to go here

  • Is the Magic Trackpad designed upside down?

    It would have seemed like a better idea to keep the pad as low as possible. Why is it better to have my wrist turned upwards? On a keyboard I can almost understand, when you need to reach a top level letter, it would reduce arm movement. But the trackpad just doesn't make sense to me.

    If you're worried about the Magic Trackpad slant angle, there is a hidden default that lets you invert it automatically:
    http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20101029060726179
    Enter this command in terminal (will prompt for root password), then restart your Mac or reconnect the Magic Trackpad:
    sudo defaults write com.apple.MultitouchSupport ForceAutoOrientation YES
    Now place the Magic Trackpad in desired orientation on your desk and drop all 5 fingers on it (outstretched towards the edges not scrunched up).
    The coordinates of the trackpad automatically flip so all cursor and gesture motions match the new hand orientation.
    This trick is particularly helpful to maintain a straight wrist if your desk height is relatively low. If your hand is too large for palms to rest comfortably on the battery hump, you may want to place a ~1/2" thick palm rest behind the battery hump. You'll have to click the button with forward fingers, or use tap click and 3-finger drag.

  • Number of Parts of the Magic Mouse

    A friend of mine is writing his PHD-thesis about functional integration. He is looking for information about the magic mouse:
    Out of how many mechanically single (unmountable) parts is it built? (Has anyone opened/repaired it yet and counted the pieces?)
    Can someone provide that number or where can I get such information?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hello selle,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Perhaps this article may be of a assistance? Otherwise, there isn't too much else out there yet regarding such information.

    Hi, CrystalLuna.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    It would need a little clarification on this issue to provide a better answer.  However, if your device will not turn on or is unresponsive, take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below.  
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    If your device will power on but the display is blank, Screen Curtain may be enabled.  Take a look at the steps in the article below to disable this feature.  
    Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

  • Why are my ITunes playlists on my iPhone, iPad and Mac not the same?

    I don't understand the ITunes.  I have an Iphone, Ipad and new Mac Probook with Retina Display.  When I add songs to ITunes my playlists do not synchronize.  I have to manually delete the playlist on my Mac, create new ones, then synch with USB to each device.  Isn't there an easier way to manage the playlists?

    You can't drag and drop content onto smart playlists, only regular ones.

  • What to do about the Pinterest bug and Apple products?

    There is a bug within Pinterest which disables ones ability to use the touch copy feature on Apple iPhone, iPad and iTouch.  I have contacted Pinterest so many times they will no longer except my email.  I would like to bring this to the attention of apple because I would think this problem Pinterest is in no hurry to fix  would worry Apple.  I would like to add there is nowhere on the web which disables the ability to touch copy except on Pinterest.

    Why do you think this is a bug? Maybe it is a feature purposefully put in place by Pinterest to prevent stealing of people's copyrighted image?
    Apple wouldn't reprogram Safari to overide code in third-party websites.

  • How do I combine a purchased bonus track album and the same, regular album on my iPhone?

    I recently purchashed the several songs from the "bonus track version" of Cat Power's new album, and then used "complete my album" in iTunes to purchase the rest of the album.  However, when I view the album on my iphone, two versions appear of the same album: (1) the bonus track version with some songs and (2) the rest of the purchased songs as the regular album.  How can I combine these two so I can just listen to the album straight through??

    I had the exact same problem even after I ensured all of the album "Info" data were identical.  iTunes and my iPod Classic treated all songs as ONE album.  But my iPhone and iPad treated the songs as TWO albums.
    To fix, I had to completely change the album name and sync my iPhone/iPad.  For example, I changed the album name as follows:
         "Battle Born (Deluxe Edition)" > "Battle Born". 
    Note that when I changed the album name in iTunes like this:  
         "Battle Born (Deluxe Edition)" > "Battle Born" >  "Battle Born (Deluxe Edition)"
    ... and then sync'd, there was no change on my iPhone/iPad.
    I think the key is changing the name so that it differs from what the iPhone/iPad has.  Maybe the indexes aren't rebuilt?  Who knows.
    If you want to revert back to the original album name, you must change the name in iTunes and sync again.
    Hope this works for you.
