    This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

  • My brand new IPhone has a line down the screen.

    Nothing has happened to it, I was just using it set it down, picked it back up a few minutes later and boom this line is there?? It also affects the use of the phone. I don't get what could be wrong?

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons for about 10 seconds until iPhone begins to restart itself, ignore the "slide to power off", let the iPhone restart itself. See if better, if still problem, Restore the iPhone with current iTunes on your computer. See if fixed. If still problem make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

    I need to change the home folder name. I just bought this mac today and my cousin put his name in because he had to back up his phone while we were still at the store so he could get a new phone and now my brand new imac says his name in the home folder. This is very frustrating. I would not have let him put his name in there if I didn't think you could change it. Someone please help!

    My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Itunes won't sync to my brand new ipod classic.  It says "The Ipod cannot be synced because it cannot be found.

    I have been onto Apple by phone, and into the Apple store where both of them recomended that it gets replaced.  I did, got a brand new ipod classic, and i still have the same problem.
    I have attempted to restore, but it won't let me for the same reason.
    On a couple of occations it starts to sync!!  however it goes through practicly the whole syncing process (12,000 songs, heaps of videos) and then just freezes up! The little rainbow orb spins forever until i have to force quit.
    I have had my old ipod and my partners ipod regestered and used on the one itunes with no complications whatsoever, our old ipods sync perfectly with no problems at all.
    very frustrated.
    Is it my Ipod Box?
    Or is it Itunes?
    or does it not like me having more than two ipods registered?
    with the last new ipod which was replaced and the current new ipod that's a total of 4 ipods regestered on the one itunes
    My partner has a Dell Laptop with Microsoft.  I downloaded Itunes on there, ripped one cd, formatted the current new ipod, and it synced the one cd i ripped with no trouble at all.
    Has anyone else had the same problem with their Ipod Classic?
    Mick

    Is iTunes up to date (10.7)?  Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB or using a different USB cable?
    I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread to check your Hard Drive's health.  He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • IPhone 5 has vertical lines on the screen. Help !

    Hey a few days ago. I left my phone on a table faced down in a small puddle of bubble mix. ugh.
    Everything works the sound, touch screen, camera. No glitches. But my phone is discolored & has vertical lines.
    I was wondering of If should just get a new screen or if there's a better way ??

    Try backing up the phone and then do a restore, when you restore set it up as new to see if it still persists if it does you''ll probably need a repair.

  • Brand new iPod touch restarts itself all the time

    Hello, my dad just came home from Japan, with a brand new iPod touch.
    I managed to register it in iTunes, but when i updated the firmware i got an error message. I tried again and i think that i succeed. Then i started to sync music and the rest of the stuff. The syncing stopped after a minute, and when i tried to navigate on my iPod i realised that the touch screen didn't respond. So after several attempts, i made a hard reset.
    But now, the iPod touch restarts itself. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen turns off in a dramatical way, and then the Apple logo comes up again. If i hard reset my device again, the process continous.
    I sometimes the iPod shows the "charge battery" screen, and then I can charge the battery. BUT after 5 minutes, the iPod touch starts restarting itself again. :S
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Extremely strange.

    I suspect you have a hardware problem. Probably a non-functioning battery (over or under) and causing a hardware reset. Bring it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • Qosmio G10 has vertical lines on the display

    I've got a G10 which I've been using quite happily for the last 15 months since I bought it.
    However, it's now got 4 vertical lines on the display, 2 purple (magenta?), 1 yellow and 1 cyan. Other than these lines there are no other problems, it's never crashed or anything like that.
    The lines are always there, they never change in any way and are always in the same place. They appear on the display at very first powerup, before the Qosmio logo comes on.
    They didn't all appear at the same time, they have all appeared individually over the last two months. I did see the last one disappear briefly, then stay on.
    I'm assuming my display is slowly dying, which I would assume to be an expensive item.
    Any advice thrown my way would be much appreciated!
    I took a picture of the screen which you can find at:

    Note: picture was taken with Media Player fullscreen on a black image, just to show up the lines clearly)

    Hi
    I would suggest connecting an external display to check if it's a graphic card or a display problem. If this lines appears also on the external display so there could be also something wrong with the graphic card.
    If these lines don't appear on the external monitor so only the notebook display has a malfunction.
    However, this doesn't change anything on your situation. I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for solving this issue.

  • Brand new iPod touch will not connect to home wifi

    Monday I got a brand new iPod 4 to replace my previous one, as the home button had failed unexpectedly. The new iPod is working fine, running the latest iOS but when I try to connect our secure home wifi, it won't accept the password. We have reset the password and I've reset network settings. I'm so frustrated, because everything else connects to the wifi BUT my iPod will not take our correct password. What can I do? Should I take it back to Apple? I'm already annoyed by having to get a new iPod. The last one connected just fine but now this one won't.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. done
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod will not got past the home screen

    Help please!!!! When I turn my ipod on, (with a full charge and fresh restore and update) it will not go past the home screen (music, setting, ect). The hold button is off. The click wheel will move the selector up and down, but I can't go any further than that.

    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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose your "stuff" with Recovery Mode.

  • Intel iMac (Early 2008) Has vertical lines on the screen and doesn't boot.

    My iMac froze up tonight, and upon restarting it there are a number of yellow vertical line segments throughout the display, and it will not boot completely into the OS. The spinning segment just stops and the computer does nothing. I inserted my Leopard disc to run a hardware test but holding D during bootup does nothing, even though I can hear the disc spin up.

    Any Thoughts?

    I've had this same exact issue and have had to have the graphics card replace (nvidia 8800gs).
    It seems these graphics cards are defective in some way.
    Unfortunately my iMac is out of warranty and I must pay 3500dkk ( 500usd ) for repair.
    I'm very disappointed as to the reliability of these iMacs as I've only had it for 2 years my old iMac g4 1ghz has performed better than this and is actually what I'm using until my so called new iMac is back from repairs

  • IPhoto book has vertical lines down the pages

    I am ready to send my 54 page photo book to Apple.  However, in going through it one more time, there are vertical lines --1 -2 per page on about half of the pages.  They have not been there before.  They are white or colored.  Some go through all the page vertically and some are only 1/2 the distance.  Most of the pages effected are the left or the even number ones, but that is not always the case.  I shut down IPhoto to see if that would work.  Last night support here told me to rebuild the library which I did--that was to take care of the constantly spinning color wheel.  What can I do about this new problem.  I am so excited about the book and want to send it to print, but fear that these lines will show up.

    Thanks Larry,
    YOu have been spot on this week with my 2 questions.  The preview seems to be fine, so guess I can proceed. The lines are gone in the preview.
    There is also another glitch, however.  In my map page, I have identified the cities.  Most of them are there, but some--only the red dots are there and when I click on the red dot, the name shows, then when I click outside the book, the dot stays, and the name goes away.  There seems to be plenty of room for the name.  I thought it might be OK in the preview, since the lines went away, but there are still a couple that don't show.
