Help! Screen keeps flipping out!

My screen keeps flipping out and scrolling by itself or clicking on things while I'm trying to scroll. It also spazzes out when I zoom. This has been happening for about a week every now and then. I try turning off my phone and turning it back on but it doesn't help sometimes. What do I do?

Hello Paulinaav,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.
I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing and any other steps you may have taken):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My screen keeps cutting out

My screen keeps cutting out and is very temperamental with at what angle the screen has to be at??

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Iphone screen keeps timing out while watching videos

HHow do I keep my iPhones screen from timing out when watching videos. I never had this problem until recently

try check your video player's settings. if that dosen't help, the worst thing you could do is to change auto-lock to "never" in phone's settings -> general.

What should I do if my iPhone 4S screen is flipping out and going grey than coming back and I have to restart it 3 times before it comes back to work? I can barely put pressure on the screen.

My iPhone 4S flips out when I put pressure on any part of the phone and turns colors and then goes gray with white lines both horizontally and vertically. How do I fix this and how much is it going to cost?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset

Backing up, Updating and Restoring

If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

TS4088 Screen keeps blacking out Macbook pro 13'

Just got this little macbook this week and the screen keeps shutting down after a while (not sure how long exactly but usually around 30mins). I changed the settings to make sure it doesn't sleep ever yet after 30mins or so screen goes black and i have to close the screen and open it again and type my password and stuff. Anyone know why this is happening? I heard of this happening to other people with the macbook pro 15 but mine is the 13 and same thing seems to be happening.

Have you tried resetting the SMU?
Have you tried resetting the PRAM?

Docking Station Screen keeps blacking out

So up until now, I've had no problem with the screen showing Time/charging status/Temperature when I dock the phone. But yesterday the screen blacked out (okay, dark grayed out) and I don't know how to keep it from doing that...any hints? Thanks

Okay...never mind. New to this forum, and didn't bother to check the "solutions" list. Found my answer there (brightness icon--that I couldn't see cause the screen was VERY gray). Hope everyones questions are as easy to answer as mine was!!

Screen keeps blanking out

I have been experiencing a problem with my screen completely going blank of its own accord. I can still very faintly see the screen when it does this and the computer responds normally to commands. Using the brightness control button makes no difference (although I can faintly see the control responding on the). Putting hte computer to sleep and then waking it up sometimes helps, but only for a short period.
There are a few factors that seem to influence when this happens.
- if I plug anything into the USB port, it is guaranteed to dim
- The problem has only been occuring since I bought a new battery last week
- It doesn't happen when I have the computer plugged into the mains, only when I am running from the battery
Any ideas of what is causing this?

Might be your inverter board. Read this post:

Since loading Firefox 4, screen keeps blacking out entirely or in sections. Scrolling will get it back or cause it to black out. Very unhappy. How can this be fixed?

Screen blacks out randomly and sometime periodically every few seconds.

21.5 mid-2011 iMac screen keeps glitching out and then eventually goes black.

At the end of August 2011 I purchased a 21.5-inch iMac and just last week (8 or so months later) the screen started to glitch everywhere and then eventually turned black. It has been happening quite regularly and has become quite an issue. Before then it had been running perfectly, and we had had no problems at all. However when the screen goes black (as if it was asleep) you could still hear things playing in the background (such as the noise that the volume key makes when you press it on the keyboard). We have eliminated all possible interference problems (turned off: wifi, phone's, TV, lamps and even the fish pump) and have also had it tested by license technicians for software and hardware issues (which came back clean). So then they replaced the screen thinking that was the only other possibility, and when we brought it back home it started to do it again. I have no idea anymore and I was hoping that someone could tell me what might be going on, otherwise I will get it replaced under extend Apple Care warranty.
Thank you and the main specs are below:
2.7Ghz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor
4GB Ram
1TB hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory

Help Screen keeps on closing

Periodically the screen just closes like 2 sliding doors coming together. The computer is still operating but just a blank screen. Sometimes the screen will flicker first before closing. The screen comes back by itself after about 10 mins. sometimes longer. This is very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Hello and welcome.
It may be worth reading the following postings by Allan Jones from over in the eMac section as your problem could be hardware.

Macbook help - power keeps cutting out for no reason - please help

my macbook will sometimes just randomly turn off even though i have full power or enough power to run.
if i try to turn it back on it will just go off again unless i let it 'rest' for a bit, maybe five minutes.
then it will just work again and i'll eventually enounter this problem again from an hour to two days later
at the moment it's annoying as the worst that has happened is my work not being saved (word recovers the document anyway) and this happening multiple times when i was trying to import a cd.
although just annoying, i fear it could lead to something worst.
please help

Since you are having random shutdowns, and you mention that you have to wait awhile to turn it back on, I suspect that the computer is overheating and shutting itself off. The computer is then waiting until it cools down enough to allow you to turn it back on.
This was a fairly common issue when the macbooks were first released. Apple released a firmware update that resolves this. The firmware update improves the computers internal monitoring system so that the fans kick on earlier and prevent your computer from getting to the point where it shuts down due to thermal issues.
As previous posters have already suggested, go to the apple icon in the upper left hand corner of your screen and select "software update." Install any firmware updates that appear. Please note that the firmware update may not appear in this list of updates if your operating system is not 10.4.6 or higher.

My screen keeps fliping upside down , even though I have not turned the i pad

My screen keeps "flipping" upside down even though I have not turned the I pad

bmwdr -
I have reported this problem from the beginning of the MBP release back in February.
They have not solved it during any of my repairs.
I have found the following helps, but does not solve:
1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the magsafe power adapter
2. Resetting your PMU
3. Locking your Energy settings by clicking the lock in the lower left hand corner
It seems to be a software bug that is somehow potentially related to the screen saver. When you shut your screen saver off... it sometimes disappears.
