Has "cracked screen" issue been resolved in gen 2?

i have a 1st gen ipod nano 4gb. i got it last december 2005, and recently it started freezing now and then...that stopped on its own, but one day i looked and the screen was black/rainbowy, with an LCD crack on it. still plays, but operates more like an overpriced ipod shuffle with no viewable information. after doing some reading, i've discovered that the unprovoked LCD cracked screen is not uncommon, and that apple will not fix it, and the price of getting it fixed other places is almost as much as a new ipod.
so my question is, if i'm gonna drop the dough on a replacement 2nd gen, what are the odds my screen will crack for an unknown reason again? has apple addressed this issue in the 2nd gen?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
Given that Apple's instructions to it's service providers is to replace these screens (read this and the linked to articles) I'd guess the 2G Nanos would be more robust in this respect. I guess we'll have to wait and see if there are many reports of broken screens. I haven't seen any complaints on the various Apple site's I visit so far so it all looks good.

  • Has the sound issue been resolved?

    I have been using iTunes 6.03 and Quicktime 7.03 for a while now, since last time (in Feb) when i upgraded all my MOV stop having any sort of sound. Has the new update to 7.04 solve the problem?
      Windows XP  

    This method with F8 will not work on your old notebook model. at this time Toshiba notebooks were delivered with recovery discs only and HDD recovery option was not available.
    If you don't have original recovery disc you must make clean OS installation.
    As far as I know all stuff for WXP you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Your old notebook model you can find in ARCHIVE (product type). Your model is PSA30E.
    At this time your notebook was delivered with SP1 and with Realtek Audio Driver V5.10.00.5210. exactly this driver you can find on Toshiba download page. To be honest I don't know if this will work with SP2 or SP3 but you can try to find newer version for Realtek ALC202 sound card.
    Thats all I can say about it.
    One more thing: you can also download Installation Instructions document. So please do this and install all stuff following this installations order. It is very important.

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

    Hello.
    I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
    Has this issue been resolved?
    CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
    Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A follow up to the above.
    There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
    C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
    For those of you who may have this situation.
    Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):

  • Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?

    Have the Adobe Muse CC (2014) licensing issues been resolved?
    I am patiently waiting for some word on whether I can go ahead a install the new version of Muse CC (2014) software on my systems without running into the quagmire that so many are experiencing.  I simply can't afford to run the risk that I will be stuck with a "trial version" for the next 30 days without some assurance from Adobe that they will be able to solve the problems in that time frame. It would be nice if adobe would send out an email that explains the situation to all of it's users so we know what's going on and when the issue is resolved. Collectively we all pay a lot money for these "updates", so I don't think it's to much to ask.
    Kind Regards,
    wrgould
    PS: Please reference this forum discussion - Muse CC 2014 wants Serial Number, though i pay monthly for muse

  • How can I get apple to warranty my iPod touch 4th gen? It has always had issues and seems to be a lost cause. Will not connect to wi-fi. It also has cracked screen, but that is not the issue.

    It has a cracked screen also but that is not the issue. I am willing to live with the screen

    Unfortunately, ANY signs of 'neglect or damage' automatically become the cause of any issues you're having. As in it doesn't matter if your screen was flickering before it was dropped, when they see the dent or cracked screen, that screen flicker was caused by the drop. Because they  have no way to know if you are telling the truth (it's nothing personal, they just literally dont' know) so any signs of damage become the reason for your issue. The only way out of that is if you had taken in your iPad and, even if you didn't get it replaced, an apple employee can have documented that yes, that issue existed before the drop.
    It's not fun, I know, but that's just how it is. Any signs of 'neglect or damage' and that 'neglect or damage' is the cause of your issues.

  • How much do apple(UK) charge to replace a cracked screen on an ipad 4th gen?

    My son accidentally dropped our ipad 4th gen retina display on the kitchen tiles and the screen glass has shattered in the top right corner and there are 2 large cracks across the screen which end at the home button. The ipad is still in full working order apart from the cracked screen (I am using it now) I have booked to take it into apple next week and it is still under warranty. Just wondered if anybody has any idea on how much they will charge for the repair? Thanks

    Accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty. Here in the UK the cost for replacing the iPad 4 (it's not repaired) is £249 (from here, add £7.44 if shipping is required).

  • Palm TX replacement unit has white screen issues even after hard reset

    I hope somebody can help me find a solution.
       I was a happy Palm OS user since the early days of Palm III.  After a Palm III and a V, had a Sony Clie that lasted a long time, but finally pooped out, went to a Z22 and broke the screen, then almost but not quite a year ago (in warranty, supposedly), purchased a Palm TX.  Worked great for a while but ended up with a unit I couldn't turn on or off because the power switch had died.  Worked around that by keeping the sync cord in and powering on by pushing the button and then canceling.  Finally sent it in for in-warranty repair.  Got back a new-to-me unit.  
       This worked fine for almost a month, then it started (with no new software or usage patterns) to have blank screen issues.  To solve this I have tried many things.  Soft resets, hard resets, leaving it to fully run out its battery for weeks at a time.  Nothing works; it continues to go blank on me.  In addition, the sound is strange and screechy when it beeps (e.g. accepting time zone after reset).  I bought the TX in the US when I was home for a visit last July, but am living in the Netherlands currently.
       I contacted the Palm repair center in the UK that replaced my original unit; they said would pass on word of my troubles to Palm and Palm should contact me, otherwise to e-mail them.  They haven't.  I can't find an e-mail address for to explain all of this to anyone with any power to help me.  I have tried to use the Palm support website to solve this problem, but neither the original serial number or the serial number of the replacement unit I have now is showing up as eligible for warranty repair.  I have tried to call the US Palm support number (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/47005_en.html#howservice), but I get "calling is temporarily unavailable."  When I click "here" when asked "If you wish to query the warranty status of your handheld, or would prefer to arrange a repair through our Technical Support service, click here" (https://www.euroservice.palm.com/repair_entry/NLD/EE) I end up on a page that says simply "Please Enter the Source Url."  I am hesitant to supply credit card information for an issue that, if it can't be covered under warranty (which I think it should be, since I'm still within the original 12 month warranty period), I may well abandon.
        I am very frustrated in trying to get this fixed.  I am disappointed in the dwindling support for a PDA (that is not a phone) with Palm OS.  Since I am living (though not comfortably or well) without my calendar, address book, alarm, reader, dbs, cookbook, checklist, etc., I am seriously considering leaving the Palm OS.  My preference is to get this fixed, and my idea nearly a year ago was to ride the Palm OS until it disappeared completely (subsumed into phones anyway), but my problems have discouraged me to the point that I am wondering if this is my end.
       Does anyone have a suggestion?
    Post relates to: Palm TX
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks for your help!
    I don't know how to tell for certain if this is a US or a UK device, but it looks identical to the one I bought in a store in Seattle, and the first five and the last two num/letters of the serial number are identical.  I do know that when I sent it in originally for the power button failure, that the Palm repair center understood that it was a Palm purchased in the States.  Their description of the goods received is "Palm TX , US and ML" so it seems apparent that they knew it was a US device and rather than refusing to repair it, they had me send it to them.  And when my repair was returned, the repair details list "unit exchange" and type of unit is again listed as Palm TX US & ML.
    Well, regardless, I appreciate your pointing me in the right directions to someone who can help me.
    Ironically, I am no longer having the same issues with the Palm.  The latest round of letting the power run out after a hard reset and sit for a few weeks seems to have "fixed" it.  At least, I have been trying to break it (by using it) without success.  Recharged it, synced it, checked and sent mail with it, used all the programs I used to, and I haven't had a white screen in the past few days.  Hope my luck continues, but I don't trust it.  All hail frequent syncing.
    Thanks again.

  • S-L-O-O-O-W!!!! Has this issue been resolved? Spinning Beachball every time I change anything!

    Hi all - I have the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014 (6733 Build). It is frustratingly slow. I searched and found a lot of discussions on this, tried some recommendations, but have not found a resolution to this problem - and I need to get this working ASAP because I am spending way too much time waiting and waiting and waiting. I even started a new site, with only one html page. Something as simple as applying an h1 tag and then changing the text attributes: Color - wait, wait, wait (spinning beachball), wait, wait . . . changed. Then change size -  wait, wait, wait (spinning beachball), wait, wait . . . changed. Change Font - wait, wait, wait (spinning beachball), wait, wait . . . changed. I am sure you get the point. This is a totally unacceptable way to work! The same thing is happening on both my desktop computer and my laptop. Any advice would really be appreciated.

    FOLLOW UP: I must say that Adobe Support handled this issue extremely well - thank you Preran and Sonam for you assistance! They tried to contact me the day after my post, but I wasn't available - we set up an appointment for today and she called right on time. We did troubleshooting for about an hour and discovered that it was a font issue. I use a font utility that had some kind of conflict with my system fonts. Once it was resolved, Dreamweaver is quite speedy now. My advice for anyone having this issue would be to turn off all non-system fonts and see if that helps. Keep up the great work and support Adobe . . . this user absolutely appreciates it!

  • Has gamma export issue been solved? Or is there a work-around?is there

    Hi there,
    I've been web searching, but not found any successful answer to the problem of light Quicktime exports... i.e. when I export my sequence and then look at the resulting QT file everything has gone milky.... all too light...
    Apparently this is an internal problem with the conversion to QT
    My flow is this:
    Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.8 which is running FCP6
    Exporting footage sequence from the timeline directly to a QT file.
    I use QT conversion.
    .h264 codec
    Data rate is restricted to 5000 so that it's ready for Vimeo - this auto sets it to high quality
    1280x720 HD 16:9 frame
    Is there a solution to this?
    I have seen various suggestions of things, but nothing seems concrete or very sure.....
    Will using sequence settings to render in RGB / YUV or YUV high quality make any difference to things? How do I know which of these to use?
    Many thanks for your help,
    Dan

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the swift response!
    Wow, there's definitely a good improvement in colour matching with the 'enable fcs color compatability' option ticked so many thanks for that...
    But, there still seems to be a major discrpency between what I am watching from my rendered timeline and the export version.....
    Any other ideas?
    I just did a few tests including another suggestion I saw of using an adjustment of the Coloursync and switched it from photos to gfx, but that made no discernable differnce to the export..
    I do find the issue is more notoiceable if I have done any colour adjustment using the inbuilt FCP effects options such as the 3 way correcter...
    Thanks for your help,
    Dan

  • How long has the lines issue been around?

    Just curious. I just got my new powerbook and I am fairly upset at the presence of these lines. Is this something that apple has known about for months or is this a new issue all together? Basically, i just want to know how long everyone has been waiting for an announcment on this issue.

    Well, a more precise answer is :
    PB15"HiRes release : Oct. 19th
    First post on horizontal lines : Oct 25th.
