Glass cracked, huge stripes on screen, and ghost clicks? HELP!

So a while back, my glass cracked. I thought, well no big deal, I'll get it fixed sometime soon. I don't get it fixed, and around May 25th or something, I take a nap and when I wake up, it has these weird lines going down it. And it's also doing ghost clicks AKA clicking stuff I'm not asking it to and I'm getting REALLY frustrated with it. I just eventually let it go and use my iPad for everything, and now I realize, I have some REALLY important stuff on that phone, and I'm gonna need it back. So I turn it on today, and it looks even worse than I left it. The line across the screen is a HUGE chunk of the screen now, and the ghost clicks have gotten worse. Now on the day I discovered this problem, I backed up my phone, so I haven't lost pictures or anything, and that's great. But there is some app data that is really crucial to me, and I'm really gonna need it. Is there any way I can transfer the app data, and not get a new phone? Because I really don't want that. If I update it, will it do anything? I don't wanna restore it either, so please help? Yeah, this was a long story, I know.

So do iCloud backups save app data? I didn't know that, so I'll try that out, but before I do, is there anyway I can do that from a computer? The ghost clicks are driving me crazy, so I can't even get into my phone, but are backups from iTunes iCloud backups? Because that's what I did, or are those a completely different thing? I'm just so new to this thing, and to be honest, I'm kind of confused myself

Hello,
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

Please report all temps.
Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.

In an album, many pictures would show on the screen and double clicking one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger photo shows and along the bottom severa smaller ones. Options which used to be at the top right of screen no longer show. Whel

In Aperture album about 16 photos would show on screen and double clicking on one would enlarge it for adjustments. Now one larger image shows with about 7 photos at bottom. Options for controlling this no longer appear at top right. How do I correct this?

Do you mean the "View" controls are missing in your Toolbar?
To add these controls back to the Toolbar, use the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar". Drag the View Controls back to the Toolbar.

It cost a lot of money huh?
it really depends on what exactly the problem is. take is to an Apple Store or AASP and have them look at it
But what have I done to get this problem? I don't understand.
You may not have done anything. Parts can go bad on their own.

Stripes on screen and problems starting up

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro which I keep thinking I need to upgrade. It's fine when it is up and running, but when I put it into Sleep, it can take a huge amount of time to come out of sleep mode - like 15 minutes sometimes. This was worse when the battery ran down, provided that I kept it charged it was OK. But recently I have been unable to get the computer to come out of sleep - it's completely dead with a black screen when I open the lid. The only way to get it to wake is to hold down the power button, then do a reboot. This then leads to a stripey pink and grey screen, pixellated, I have to login and several times get a grey screen and nothing happening after 10 minutes. So I keep rebooting and eventually I get a normal boot up.
I was thinking that the computer was dead, maybe a main board failure, time for an upgrade. But then I switched off Safari and Excel, and since I have done that the computer seems to be working fine - comes straight out of sleep with no problems. So I am wondering if this could just be a problem with Safari and / or Excel.
One other thing to mention, I took the machine into an Apple Store about 2 months ago and then ran a full diagnostic test on it and said it had no problems. And I live in Dominican Republic, where there aren't any Apple Stores, so it is had to take it in for repair. I am running Mavericks 10.9.2, I haven't yet upgraded to 10.9.3.

A very similar problem came up with a few users about three months ago relative to iMacs. Turned out in their cases to be bad graphics modules in their iMacs, not same year or model so it was not a common cause failure. They had vertical lines, some yellow, some pink, some blue...and startup problems.
Try visiting the Apple store genius bar and have the techs run their diagnostics to check out the system.

I cracked my iphone 4s screen and now it won't turn on

So I dropped my iphone 4s and cracked it and then I picked it up and now it won't turn on. I've tried plugging it into my wall, computer, etc. I don't know what to do, so what should I do? also will i be able to access my photos again because my photos aren't backed up or anything? also i would like to access my notes again? I'm so confused and don'please help!

Sounds to me like your phone is broken as well. Without a backup you've likely lost your data. You could try taking it into an Apple store or contact them and see if they have any way recovering your data. Likely not but worth a try.

Ipod touch keeps giving me a blue screen and wont work, HELP!!!

So earlier today my ipod gave me a notification that a new ios software update was avaliable so i began the update. But during the update, i got impatient (like i always am -_-) and i decided to turn my ipod completely off by holding down the top and home buttons at the same time like an idiot........HUGE MISTAKE!! Now everytime i try and turn it on, all it does is show the logo and then it goes to a blue screen and the bluescreen fades out to white and stays that way. Each time i try and turn it off it keeps repeating this process. How can i fix this?? Will my ipod be like this forever? HELP :'(

HI.. i have the same issue... any help !!!!!!

Grey screen and weird click

please can some one help, my macbook just hangs on its grey screen and has this weird click coming from the hard drive area, it just randomly happened, please can anyone offer me any assistance as i'm unable to get to an apple store! i telephoned apple but found them a little unhelpful! i tried rebooting from the install disk and nothing happens, just grey!
if this cant be fixed would i still be able to access my hardrive from another mac using a firewire cable??

Well if you hear a "clic" noise coming from the hard drive ares you could have a problem with the hard drive, when you insert the installation disc do you press letter "C" to boot from the cd?? conecting te hard drive to an other computer maybe will help you to recover all your data but not to fix it. How ever if you dont know how to fix it i will recomend you to take it to a store or techical support to get it fixed, or calling apple if you still have the warranty.

Macbook start-up but stays on white screen and then clicking noice

I was working on my macbook and suddenly it just became incredibly slow and then it was non-responsive. So I shut it off, and when I turned it back on, it was just a white screen, with the clicking noice in the bottom right corner and then a question mark symbol came up in the middle of the screen and now I can't access any of my important files that I need, Someone help please!!

If you have another computer and a FireWire cable you can try booting this computer into Target Disk Mode by holding the T key at bootup, and then attach the computer to another one via the FireWire cable. This should allow the second computer to see your computer's drive as an external disk.
Alternatively you can try booting up off the Leopard DVD and see if you can access the drive from the Disk Utility software on the DVD. This will be available in the "Utilities" menu after you select your language. From here you can try running a drive repair and hope you can at least get it to be readable.
Unfortunately beyond this, and without any other drive utility software, there's not much you can do without taking it to a technician who can hopefully remove the drive and read data off of it with special hardware. When drives go bad they tend to just stop working altogether.

Qosmio g35 and Ghost 2003 - Help Help!

Hello,
I'm seeking help with my Qosmio G35AV600 (Part PQG30V00p006). I’ve had it for quite a while and it has performed well. It has suffered a fair amount of bit-rot and I'm considering giving it a high colonic with the system restore disk. Before I do this, I want to back up the primary drive. I have both a Toshiba brand USB floppy drive AND a Toshiba brand USB DVD drive. I have Norton Ghost 2003 and a generic external USB drive enclosure and 720gb drive.
Try as I might, I cannot get Ghost to see the USB hard drive, no matter how I start the machine. (I've tried the duze, other USB drivers etc.) I KNOW that this can be done. I am stumped.
If some kind soul out there with first hand knowledge and experience could give me a step-by-step on how to accomplish this I would be eternally grateful.
(I will be cross-posting this same message about a Portege elsewhere.)
Yours truly,
Rob

We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years) and the screens has gone black and wont turn on. Phone is charged. We have tried force quit- home screen and top button. help pls

We have iPhone 4 and I plugged phone into after market hardwired plug in car (that we have used successfully for two years). The screen has gone black and wont turn on. Phone was charged. I have tried force quit- home screen and top button. iTunes is not recognizing phone when I plug into computer. help pls

FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

I cracked my iPod touch screen and I want to know if Apple will fix the screen or just swap my ipod for a different one?

I cracked my iPod screen today, and I want to get it fixed, but I don't know if the Apple store will do it for free. I've only had it for 6 months and I'm worried that it's going to cost me more money to fix it then if I got a new iPod. It's an iPod touch 4th generation 16GB. If anyone knows the approximate price to fix it, i'd appreciate it!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. They do not fix yours.

Two crashes: one OS crash with gray screen and loading bar- help? (Stuck overseas, so you guys are it!)

Hey everyone.
When firefox crashed last night, I figured it was just firefox being difficult, but when while using firefox my entire computer crashed this afternoon and rebooted with a gray screen, the spinny wait symbol, and a loading bar, I started to get concerned. After looking through console, I'm not sure what's caused it to crash like this so I'm hoping one of you bright people here can tell me what exactly happened. I'm running a mac book pro with 10.6.8, have no real addons on firefox aside from adblock plus, divx, memory restart, a french dictionary, and a skin I've been using forever and have also spoken to the developer in the past about. I'm also using Firefox 17.0.1. After trying to google some of the more unfamiliar/suspicious lines (mostly relating to launch agents), I typed into terminal the command to list all launch agents and received 3 replies naming adobe, divx, and google. I used terminal to delete them all just for safe measure (plus the adobe update window has been irritating me to no end so maybe it'll go away now, haha). I did three things when I tried to boot up again after the crash and the weird launch screen with loading bar came up: 1) I held down the power button again because a) the screen was weirding me out and b) I thought it got hung up again (bar seemed to stall for an unusually long time), 2) I tried to boot again and when the same gray screen came back I just figured I had no choice and had to sit through it. 3) when the bar was at about half way I pulled out my ethernet cord for safe measure in case something shady was going on. These three things are also reflected in the log below.
I currently live overseas and the nearest Apple store is over two hours away with no guarantee of a native english speaker working, so if anyone can let me know what caused the crash and if there's anything I can do about it, I would be extremely grateful. The following is my current console log in its entirety from today, including my attempted system update to see if that would improve things (which also resulted in a gray screen with loading bar later), and a really weird bit at the end that is also confusing (but possibly caused by me tinkering in terminal- not sure).
NAME is replacing my HD name, and my screen name here (caithris) has replaced my computer user name. NUMBER has replaced anything that looks like a serial number of some kind.
Thanks so much ahead of time-- please let me know if there's anything else I can share.

Thanks again- I mean it. It's lousy being stuck away from home when crazy thing happen to your main line of communication!

The gray screen with loading bar issue is a at boot fsck (file system check) that has discovered something wrong with your boot drive/partition and was attempting to fix it.
OS X is booting but can't complete, so that means your hard drive is good, just likely has been either subjected to shock which damaged data on the platters, or bad sectors (the drive is dying if after fixing it, problems occurs again), or something messed something up in the file structure.
Firefox is currently at 19.02, so it appears your background auto-update has not been occurring, which makes me suspect the machine's data is broken in some manner or you have malware on the machine blocking the updates.
Your problems are multiple, in your case I advise a complete erase and install.
1: If you have a backup of your user data on a external storage drive (not TimeMachine as it might be corrupted and compromised with malware it's just going to restore back) then your good, else you have to do this.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Copy your data to a blank plain jane external storage drive as you want no executable files on it when you connect to the cleaned machine later.
2: Once your data is safely copied (copy visible files manually and what you know is good, not folders that can contain invisible malware programs!) then disconnect the drive(s)
3: Next assume all writeable media is contaminated with malware and treat as so. Even if you erased it.
4: Stick in your 10.6 install disk and reboot holding the c or option key down. You want Disk Utility and you want to select the ENTIRE internal drive and MUST USE the Security Option > Zero All Data (unless your in the military then use 7x erase, do not use 35x as it will take weeks and is unnecessary)
The Zero/7x erase will do two things, do a low level format and erradicate everything (including hidden stuff and deleted files) also will map off any failing sectors on the hard drive.
5: Follow the procedure here to install 10.6
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
6: Reboot the machine twice, then once you set up the machine (using a alias of course and not allowing registration), use a secured network and IMMEDIATLY Software update to 10.6.8, if you can download the 10.6.8 Combo update on another secure machine to a (new) USB thumb drive and install it on the clean Mac, do that instead.
WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Still run Software update afterwards as Apple might not have fully updated the combo update yet.
7: Once you machine is secure, download the free ClamXav and run a scan on the external storage drive with just your files, perhaps one or more PDF's or other files are not what they seem to be.
8: Make sure to install fresh copies of software from original sources and not from rewriteable media, update them to be current. Malware can be hidden in copies of programs.
9: Trash all your rewritable media, or use a Linux PC or Linux Mint in a virtual machine (VirtualBox) on another computer like Windows to scrub and reformat all the rewritable media before attaching them to the clean Mac. You have to make sure it's getting the entire media.
10: Once your machine is set back up, then make clones and time and date them.
Most commonly used backup methods
If your still having problems with the machine, it's likley a failing hard drive and you will have to replace it and repeat the steps above pretty much.
Really it's best to replace the drive in the interest of security.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
For performance of Snow Leopard, check out this tip
For Snow Leopard Speed Freaks
Your overseas, if your in a foriegn country you have to assume FinSpy is being installed on your machine (uses a older iTunes verison "update" to get on) or there is other tricks via the ISP to install something on your machine. So mix things up and don't stick any old USB you see laying around into your Mac.

24" iMac starts with a strange screen and freezes. HELP!

My iMac froze and I restarted it. Now when I start it got weirdturquoise stuff on each side of the screen. It does show the apple logoand the loading thingy but after that they disappear it freezes againand nothing happens.
Also tried booting from DVD and this is what happens
I have no idea whats going on.. Could it be the video card?
Any idea?
Many thanks in advance.
ps. I got the last white 24" iMac (early 2007) also got a Wacom Cintiq attached into it.

Your machine is suffering from a Kernel Panic. Many KP's are RAM related however they can also be caused by software or other hardware therefore they can be tricky to track down. RAM issues can be:
1. Incorrect RAM, have you recently upgraded?
2. Failed RAM, yes RAM can and does fail
3. RAM that isn't well seated.
All of the above take some methodical testing but are simple to track down. I would strongly recommend you begin studying:
Kernel Panics, Mac OS X 10.6 Help: If “You need to restart your computer” appears, Tutorial: Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panics. If you cannot figure it out you need to take the machine into an AASP or Apple Store immediately. If you can get the machine to boot navigate to:
/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports locate the latest KP and post the complete crash log on these forums and we may be able to assist you.

Glass cracked, huge stripes on screen, and ghost clicks? HELP!
