Acts like it has a screen saver on it

Hi folks. We have an iPod touch - not latest generation. We can't see the screen. It behaves as if there is a screen saver on it - varying shades of purple vertical lines that fade in and out. I have restored the software twice but to no avail. If I slide my finger across the bottom, it sounds like it is waking up, but I still can't see any icons. It has not been dropped or gotten wet. iTunes behaves as if everything is functioning normally.
Any suggestions? I am attaching a photo. Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I would like to make a screen saver in java.

I would like to make a screen saver in java. But i do not find in the appropriate documentation classes.
Can you help me.
My screen saver may ask a password when the user want to exit it.

https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/incubator/screensaver/
"The SaverBeans Screensaver SDK (Early Access) is a Java screensaver development kit, enabling developers to create cross-platform screensavers. The developer writes a set of Java classes along with an XML description of the screensaver settings, and uses the tools in this development kit to produce a screensaver for any Java-supported OS. The resulting screensavers behave just like a native screensaver (i.e. with preview capabilities and control over settings)."
This was found as the first result of a simple google search. You should try it sometime.

My 3rd generation ipod touch is acting like it has a ghost. when it is sitting there the screen flips between pages, letters and commands are input on their own.

All of a sudden, my iPod Touch has developed a mind of its own. When it is on, but I am not actively manipulating it, it acts like I have swiped the screen or entered characters on the keyboard, or activated an app. It is as if the screen is picking up capacitive input but my fingers aren't touching it. It happens in all apps or just on the home screen, whether I'm holding the iPod or it is just sitting on a table. I have turned it off, restored the software, but the problem seems to be getting worse.

I use my Ipod Touch all the time for work I am a struggling truck driver and Thursday 4-28-11 my ipod started doing this I cant even listen to music on it I am 8 hours from an Apple store so that is not an option for me its like its going in to apps and has actually sent emails it types and just does what it wants to do my wife bought this for me as a gift last FEb(2/2010) so it is not even under warranty anymore I don't know what to do i have tried restoreing it 2 or 3 times if anyone can please help me

Apple TV: Music Visualizer (Like iTunes) or Alternative Screen Saver?

Hello, I am wondering if there is any way to get a "Visualizer" for my Apple TV, like iTunes has that is basically a screen saver that wavers with the pitch and beat of the music. Similar to those on Windows Media Player, xBox 360, PS3, etc... Or is there at least a way to get/buy an alternative "Screen Saver" besides the floating pictures?
If not, that is a serious design flaw that someone should have thought about before release. I mean, come on, a unit that is designed to be hooked up to your TV and play music? You need to have something visual and floating pictures are not only boring but borderline annoying. I have to believe it is an easy fix with a software update; I mean, everyone else has managed to incorporate one into their products as I mentioned above and **** iTunes even has its own Visualizer, and in my humble opinion, rivals only windows media player in top quality. There has to be a way to at least stream it like AirTunes streams the music iTunes is playing to the Apple TV that plays it out the speakers it is hooked up to; with G protocol you could easily add a video stream that would stream the iTunes visualizer to the Apple TV and display it on the TV.
Anyway, just thoughts, if anyone cares, not really upset with the product, in fact, I love it so much I'm thinking of proposing to it soon (it has no idea). I just REALLY wish I could throw up a sick Visualizer on my Samsung 60" 240hz LED TV to go along with my music...SOS! Help!
Thank you.

no - the "visualiser" is not an option on the appletv.
you only have the screensaver options.

How do I get my photos to present like the Apple TV screen saver presents its photos?

I would like to have my Ipad picture albums present on my Apple TV like the factory screen saver pictures that the Apple TV presents. Any ideas how to do that?

You need to go into the settings and set the screensaver to show your photos. Make sure you have shared photos via iTunes (File - home sharing - choose photos to share). iTunes needs to be up and running so it can cache the photos on ATV flash drive. FYI: It only uses a small portion (typically around 100)

Help: my iMac suddenly has a screen saver that i don't recognize, and processing has slowed to a crawl...

When I try to awaken the computer, the screen saver (a changing series of neon-colored rings and dots) does not immediately disappear. It can take a full minute for it to go through different displays before it goes away and is replaced by my desktop. And even after I get my desktop back, it takes forever for applications to launch, and even to type simple words into the google search bar. I type, and then have to wait for the words to appear. Is the appearance of the screen saver and the slow processing a coincidence? If not, what can I do to remove the screen saver (and solve the problem)?

How large is you HD and how much space do you have left?

Why has my screen saver stopped working

I am new to Mac....2 days ago my computer would show a variety of screen savers when the comp was not in use. Now it goes onto hibernation mode only. I have to push the power button to wake it up. I went into system pref and made sure that the setting were on random and i tested it... but it still will not show the screen saver. Can someone tell me how to get this back?

Make sure your Screen Saver settings are not in conflict with the Energy Saver settings in System Preferences. If you put your display to sleep before the screen saver, you're never going to see it.

Treo 700w constantly acting like it has a dead battery

I'll start by saying I hope this is the right place for this. Anyway to the problem, I bought a refurbished treo 700w about 3-4 weeks ago. It worked great for about a week, then it would start to freeze often which could be cured by pressing the reset button. Then that would no longer fix the problem and I would have to take the battery out and put it back in and then it would work normally. Well after a couple days of that, I would have to remove and replace the battery several times before the phone would turn on and work normally. Then one day, nothing would turn it on. So I took the battery out and left it out for a few hours and then left it on the charger the rest of the day, (even though it had been on the charger all night). Finally, the next day it would turn back on after taking the battery out again. Well, the next day I picked up a cradle hoping a upgrade to the OS would fix the problems I was having. I upgraded the OS and the phone was working perfectly, It no longer froze every time I took it off the charger. It just worked like I had expected it to from the beginning. Then last night I came home put the phone on the cradle to charge, and now this morning it is acting like the battery is dead again, It won't respond to anything, the reset button does nothing, taking the battery out does nothing, so it is back on the charger again, hoping I can somehow get it to turn on in a few hours. so anybody out there have any ideas?

Does the battery indicator show that it is low? If it shows good battery life remaining, it is not the battery.
Look on the Treo for the software version to see if you need the current update of the ROM software.

Iphone acts like im touching the screen when im not

my phone wont unlock and i can only get it to slide about 1/4 of the way across the unlock bar and if i do get it to unlock it types in a random pass code and locks me out and if i manage to get past both of these it sometimes will open up apps and messages and it always types in the bottom row of the keyboard and tries to copy and paste random stuff. i recently had my screen replaced and im wondering if that has anything to do it but im also wondering if it might bw an iOS problem because ive read on here that some other peoples phones are acting weird and a few of my friends are..

do a reset
hold home /sleep buttons UNTIL Apple logo appears , ignore red off slider .
If the screen was replaced by a " Phoneshop " rather than Apple then take it back they have screwwed up your iPhone and now the warranty is void and Apple will not ever provide service or help with that device

Officejet 8100 acts like it has a sleep mode, but I can't find any controls for that.

It will work correctly one day, but then when I try to use it the following day, nothing works, the power button fades in and out, but does nothing. If I unplug the printer and plug it back in, it will work. How do I fix it so it stays online all the time?

Security problem: Waking from screen saver botched in 10.5.5

When using my MBP, I like to have my screen saver as simple computer lock in that it requires a password to wake the computer from sleep or screen saver (option in the Security system preference pane).
Since the update to 10.5.5, my computer just wakes from sleep or when in screen saver mode, without demanding a password to be entered, even though the option is checked in the pane. I did an immediate SMC reset after the installation because the fans were acting oddly, and a PRAM zap just now to see if it'd do any good with this problem.
Has anyone experienced something similar?

I had this happen a few times back when I was running Tiger. I was able to fix it by going to Homefolder/Library/Preferences/ByHost and deleting all of the com.apple.screensaver.xxxxxxx plist files, and then logging out/in.

Acts like it has a screen saver on it
