Dead spots on touch screen, but only when using text or safari

For some reason my phone has dead spots, which CHANGE although one thing is consistent. I cannot press "send" on a message unless I am replying to a text straight away. I cannot initiate and then send.
What is stranger, is that if i pull up the SAME keyboard on the facebook app, it works perfectly.
So far i have tried recalibrating, resetting and restoring the phone to no effect. If has not been in water (unless splashed unbeknowns to me)
Has anyone had a similar issue and how did they fix it? My iphone is 3rd gen so no warranty but was in perfect working order until yesterday.

I can certainly understand your frustration. I have not heard of any other cellphone or PDA manufacturer that gives out free loaners while their equipment is being replaced. Although I have certainly heard about this practice in BMW and Mercedes dealerships, the cellphone/PDA industry is a little different.
I am surprised they had never heard of the problem, which probably means they have never visited this forum. I have read many posts regarding this problem, and if a reset/restore doesnt do the trick, it has always required repair or replacement.
Its the same with a Treo or a Motorola Q or a Blackberry. It is not reasonable to expect the manufacturer (Palm, Motorola, etc) to provide free loaners. The cost for this "free" service would inevitably have to be passed on to all buyers. I have a cheapy GSM phone in a drawer I use to stick my SIM card in when I don't want to use my iPhone, or in the event I have to send it in for repair. Having that alternative is my responsibility, not Apple's.
Now that I think of it, Palm doesnt even rent loaners. I would have been stuck with NOTHING had my Treo required service. At least Apple gives me a better choice.
That's another spin on it.

Burned Image on screen, but only when using Safari

I have a burned image on my IPhone's screen, but only when I use Safari. Additionally, when I open Safari's multiple window viewer feature, the image is there as well. The home screen and every other app is unaffected. Turning off and on the phone does nothing to fix the problem.
I know removing the casing and battery is an adventure, so I am trying to avoid it if I can.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this problem?
Thanks for the help.

Troubleshoot Safari extensions ..
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

How to change the color of text but only when that text is highlighted

I am NOT asking how to change the highlight color OR how to change the text color generally, but rather, how to change the text color as it shows onscreen while it is highlighted. Here's where I'm going:
Text is ordinarily black (assume) such as when the Finder is open or when viewing a list of all emails in an inbox.
Let's say I change the highlight color systemwide, in prefs > appearance > highlight color, to a custom color ("other") of black (for example).
In certain programs (mail, billings, iBank, addressbook, even the Finder), when I highlight a line of something, (like when I one-click on an email or a file name just to select it but not open it), the line will highlight in black, but the text of that line will automatically change to white so it can be seen.
However, when I highlight actual text (click and drag or double click), such as when editing a document in Pages and selecting a word, line, paragraph, editing an email, etc., the highlight is black, and the text remains black also, which means it cannot be seen (black on black).
So, how do I change it so that when I highlight the actual text the text color changes to white, then when it is de-selected, it goes back to black.
I'm not afraid to do a little terminal/command line, but only if it’s a little. Hope this gives enough detail.
Thanks.

You can use span HTML tag.
For example, if your label is "Product Name", and you want it to appear in red, you can type this:
Product NameHope it helps.

Why does my iMac screen flicker only when using Safari? It doesn't happen with Firefox.

Yesterday, I had an issue with OS X, causing my screen to go black upon waking up my pc. Come to find out through the Apple Forum, that when the OS X was originally installed, it was not a complete install. Once I received the fix solution, completing the OS X install, (10.9.3) everything was back to normal, so it seemed.
Now, when using Safari, the whole page flickers and so forth, including the address bar. I never had problems with the screen prior to this. Also, it doe not occur when using Firefox.
Is there a fix for this? or an adjustment that can be made. This never happened prior to the OS X install, which was about 2 months ago.

Screen keeps jumping up and down but only when using firefox-so not a hardware problem

The screen keeps jumping randomly up and down but nothing is being touched or pressed. The screens can be email, you tube, bank or general internet screens, or even trying to create this page

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

I have an iPhone 5 right now.. But the wifi does't say active all the time. It would be on for a while, then disconnect. My power button also doesn't work at times.Sometimes it wakes up the screen, but only when I press it on one side.

I was also wondering if I could take this to the apple store to get it fixed. If not get it replaced?

If you arrive without an appointment and all appointments that were available at that time and following that time are booked and there are no no-shows with any of the apointments, you will be out of luck. You might get lucky with no appointment scheduled at that time you arrive and there are no other walk-ins without an appointment in front of you, but best to schedule an appointment.

Firefox saves images to wrong location, but only when using "View Image"

For a while, I have had the problem above. I can save images just fine if I don't use the "view image" function first, with the images going to the intended folders.
Just to clarify, unlike some of similar problems I have seen described here, I am perfectly happy with Firefox remembering where I wish my pictures to go, on a site to site, or model to model (within the same site) basis.
The problem lies in that if I use the "view image" function, either in a new tab, or in the existing one, Firefox will often prompt me to save in a random folder where I have previously saved a picture. It will even suggest folders that I have not accessed for days.
Example:
I save image A to folder A, by right clicking the image and selecting "save image as".
I then (immediately after this), right click image A again, select "view image", then right click the resulting picture, and select "save image as". Now there is a fine chance that it want me to save the image to some other (previously used) image folder, even if I have not used the folder for a while, and even though I have just saved the same image to folder A.
This problem persists with multiple image file types, on multiple sites (I just tried it with someones avatar in this forum, and it wanted me to put it with my holiday pictures from 3 weeks ago).
I appreciate any assistance you can give - jinxie
FYI; If I "one-click" a file (like an mp4) to download it, it goes to my main / default download folder as normal.

This is because Firefox will track where you have saved images or other files from the website domain. Then whenever you select to save the file to your computer, Firefox will start the Save As wizard in the latest folder that you have used last time.
Here is an example: 
If you save an image from the domain <code>123.com</code> into the folder <code>123</code> it will save there. Then you save an image from the domain <code>456.com</code> to the folder <code>456</code>. Next you save a different image from the domain <code>123.com</code>. The save as wizard will assume that you want to save it with the other image from that domain and will automatically start in the <code>123</code> folder. 
This can make saving files faster and more organized, however not everyone wants this feature enabled.
To disable this feature you can do the following:
#Go to <code>about:config</code> in Firefox
#Locate the <code>browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite</code> string
#Change the value to <code>false</code>
This should fix the issue, but please report back if it doesn't.

Audio only when using iPad with Safari: can I view live streaming video via Safari?

I only get audio on streaming broadcasts when I click on the AirPlay Icon in the progress bar? Can anyone help me get the video to display as well?

Websites have to have content in compatible format AND also need to allow video streaming - if both conditions are not met then Airplay will often give sound only.
If iPad 2 try turning on full mirroring (Home button twice, swipe all way to right, Airplay and set Mirroring slider to on).

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush, but only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag).
Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
Any help would be great, Thanks

Dead pixel only when using Pages

One dead pixel. Always the same one, only when using Pages. Has anyone else seen this?
MacBook Air 11", 1.6 GHz Core i5 CPU, OS 10.8, Pages 4.2

This has been happening to me ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Certainly a software issue, I expected an update to iWork to resolve this after the release of 10.8 but it seems Apple have all but forgotten about their iWork suite...
Below are images of the effected area when a Pages window is selected and unselected.
OS X 10.8.2 - Pages 4.3 - Mid 2011 2.3 GHz Mac Mini - 23" Apple Cinema Display (Old Alu, not that it matters)

I have alway being using my iPhone 4 to watch my video/ mirroring by connected to TV (Sony) through 30-pin digital AV adapter, but after the upgrade of software to version 6.1.3 (10B329). During TV out, showing no display at screen but only the audio sound can be heard at background. Appreciated if there could be a update to fix this issue.
Thank you

Thanks you. Problem is solved. The cable wasn't plugged in properly.
In spite of video rendering smoothly, audio started coming only when I disconnected the cable and plugged it in hard.
Perhaps I was pampering my phone too much

Feature that locks touch screen but continues to display video?

Is there an existing feature or application that will lock the touch screen but still display a video? I would like for my daughter to watch a video on my iPhone but I want to disable the touch screen while she is watching it so she won't accidentally turn it off or change any settings (she's only a toddler). I can do this with my iPod nano by playing a video and then locking the iPod (sliding the lock switch on the bottom of the device). Does the iPhone 3G have anything like this?

I 100% agree with you. I have some Sesame street videos on there for my daughter but they don't really work because she is always touching the screen and stopping them. This would be a great feature to have, but unfortunately I don't believe this is possible.
