Can the Touch Screen on iPhone be Disabled while Playing Video?
My 16-month old son loves watching Sesame Street on my iPhone 3GS while we travel. Problem is, he keeps touching the screen and inadvertently stopping the video or exiting from the iPod application.
Is there a way to disable the touch screen while watching video so that the only way of re-activating is by pressing the home button? Thanks.
No, there is not. You can send feedback to Apple - http://apple.com/feedback

Can the touch screen on an iPhone 4S be recalibrated?
I have an iPhone 4S that the calibration is off. If I touch the the icon for the keypad on the phone, it tries to acces voice mail, etc. Is there a routine where the touchscreen can be recalibrated?
Apple devices are designed to be calibration-free. There is no way to do this.

The power button on my nano appears to be jammed. I didn't notice until I tried to check the distance on my pedometer while on a walk, because the music was playing fine. I just couldn't wake the touch screen to do anything. It plays fine. Anyone know how to fix this?
You'll need to get it serviced.

Touch screen on iPhone 5 is going crazy when i'm typing and using my apps
is anyone having issues with the sensitivity of the touch screen on iphone 5? Mine is going crazy!
Just had exactly the same problem and the stress it caused!
My phone was calling people, deleting emails and then locking me out because the screen wouldn't respond properly when i tried to put my passcode in...
Thank you so much for this info.. i rebooted with the power and home button, gave the screen a good wipe with a lint free cloth and crossed my fingers..
So far, so good. I may even be able to cancel my genius bar appointment for Sunday.
Thanks again! -
My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

My iphone 5 fell down from the table and now I can't touch screen or do anything with it anymore. I send it to Istudio in Thailand and they said it is non authorized so they will not fix for me. I search google and they said that my LCD has problem but people in here said the chip inside my phone have problem??? Please tell me what I need to do. And if I have to change the new, how can I know it is new or fake? Could you give me the price of it please? I'm not Thai people. I study in here so I dont know where to fix it. Please recommend me any truthly store in there if you know. Thank you so much!!!
You will need to wait for Apple to rectify the issue. Do not make changes at your end.

the screen on my iPhone is frozen and I can access apps through Siri. The touch screen works within the apps but not in the home screen. What do I do?
Have you tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?

My iphone 4s fell from the bed and the front screen glass got cracked but the touch screen is working fine, so can i replace just that screen glass?? If not what am i to do ? And how much it might cost me for that repairing??
I don't know. You'll have to ask.
FYI, if the phone was not originally sold in India, it can not be serviced in India. You will have to take it back to the country where it originated. -
How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.
Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

Iphone screen is black but the touch screen works and everything else, I just can't see anything on the screen . I tried resetting it but that did nothing.
You held down the home & power buttons until the Apple logo appeared? This could take as long as 30 seconds or more.

how do i stop my iphone 4 from doing random commands while talking on calls via the touch screen? Can i lock the screen while talking?
The iPhone has a proximity sensor located on the top of the phone near the earphone speaker that is supposed to automatically turn off the screen when it is close to your face while on a call, to prevent that very thing from happening. If your phone isn't doing that, try cleaning your screen. Also, if you put a screen protector on your phone made for a different model it may lack the cut-out that is supposed to keep it from blocking the sensor. Try removing your screen protector to see if that helps. If it does, get another screen protector.

There is no way to make a backup of your iPod.

i have a apple iphone 3g and my touch screen doesnt work i tried to back it up to my itunes but its telling me unlock it i need my contacts off it like asap help
If the touch screen physically doesn't work, it's too late to back it up. You should have been syncing your contacts with something... a cloud service or contact manager on a PC. If you were not, then I'm afraid you're going to lose them.
