Dropped ipad. Now the screen is fuzzy but apps etc can be opened but are in decipherable

Dropped ipad 2 Now screen is all fuzzy but apps can be vaguely seen and can be open but nothing is decipherable.

There are a couple of long threads here regarding doing the slap but as far as I know this is only works when you get a red background or large red line on the screen. It is due to a loose connection and you have to be cautious after that but reading the threads it actually works and I've not seen any posts where it has broken again.
For the OP it is worth the shot but don't have high hopes. Tim's advice to get it serviced is best in your case. Unless you left out the red background.

Now the Apple logo is gone .How do i open or unlock my ipad?the screen is black now

Is the iPad password protected? If not, and in the absence of more information, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

Dropped imac now the screen is jerky

Somehow my iMac fell over face first onto my desk and cracked the display. It seemed to be working fine, I ordered a new screen and replaced it very easily. But now, a few weeks later, the display is starting to get jerky and will go black. I do not know anything about hardware etc... but does this sound like a video card issue? And if so, can that be replaced by me? It's a 2011. I'd like to try to fix it myself because changing the display was so easy and only cost me 70 bucks vs the 400 or so that Apple would have charged.

You may be lucky and it is just a cable or a socketed item that is loose, you will need to take it to pieces again and check all internal connections.
Hope you get it sorted out.

Since downloading the latest version of iTunes, now the screen on my pc shows 'synch in progress' nonstop but my iPod Touch and iPod Classic don't reflect the synch.

Since upgrading to latest iTunes, iTunes constantly shows synching to my iPods but nothing is being reflected on my iPod Touch or iPod Classic...

Hi murr18140,

I have a problem since installing ios6 when backing up to a laptop I got a message stating there was not enough room on the c: drive, the iTunes bar indicated that apps, etc were using space, but the yellow 'others' category was eating up all the space

I'm running out of space on the bar that shows the usage split (how many gb's for apps photos, music etc) the yellow 'others' category seems to be taking up all the available space. This is happening after updating to ios6. I don't seem to be able to get the backup on my laptop to complete successfully. I'm also unable to get Music to work on the phone. The picture of the cloud appears on screen, sometimes the blue bar appears, but after a while it bombs out and nothing else happens. Any ideas?

It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

TS4002 I subscribed to serveral communities for email. I have over a thousand emails, now the mail box in icloud says I can't open my mail account. I have ML . I have been deleting little by little, can I delete it all?

I have tried deleteing all the mail, by selecting all to erase. I have done 5 at a time, 10 at a time by zooming out. Now I can not get into the mail box. I was sent a message saying I am not able to acess my mail. It is a me.com acct. I have 40gb of storage. Any suggestions of how to get rid of this mail? I don't want to give up my email address. Thanks. I did manage to stop all communty email and notifications. So no more email is coming. Again, thanks to anyone who can help me! Since I homeshare, I am sure all my other computers look the same! LOL.. I have only myself to blame, I guess. Linda

An Alias would be an email address that is delivered to a different account's inbox.
For instance if you have [email protected] and have [email protected] Then [email protected] would be an alias if mails from that address arrive at the icloud address.
If you want to add a completely different account, with a spearate inbox, like an account in hotmail and one in say yahoo mail. Then as has been pointed out, you need to go into the Settings Icon, Tap on Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then on add account. The iPad has several services preconfigured, you can tap on one of those from the list to setup an email for that service. Such as Hotmail, Gmail etc...
Or you can tap on other to add a personal pop3 or imap type email like from your office, or your school.

It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped. Replace it.

IPhone screen is dark. I can receive calls but can't make them because I can't see the numbers on the screen. Is there anything I can do about that?d

My phone got damp. It wouldn't work for about a week. Now the screen is completely dark, altho I can receive calls. I just can't make a call because I can't see the numbers. Anything I can do about that? Is this a simple repair?

Yup, it sounds like your iPhone needs to be sent in for service.

Baby dropped ipad n now the screen is green? what does tht mean??

my kid dropped ipad and now the screen is green, like the home screen...i tried to turn it off then on, and the green came on, so now i can see the apps but the green hues are still there?

Try resetting the device ( hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears). If that does not help, it is damaged. Take it in for diagnosis.
