How can dust get under the screen like this ?

I have a large piece of dust under my screen about an inch up and an inch from either side of the screen.
I use a cover on the rear of my phone, and have a zagg cover for the screen. How on earth can a speck get this far in ? I thought these were pretty much closed units.
Is this something Apple would exchange for ?

A forum search will reveal that several people have reported this and have gotten a replacement.
You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar and they will let you know if they can give a replacement.

How did dust get under the screen?

I bought a PB used about a month ago and it was in like new shape with the exception of one dead pixel that annoyed me. This is getting picky but now I noticed there is a piece of dust about an inch away from the dead pixel which really annoys me when I see those. I don't understand how a piece of dust got under the screen, I've had my ipod touch for over 2 years, in my lint filled pockets and it doesn't have any dust under the screen, just in the creases of where the glass ends. I've only had the PB a few weeks and when transporting it I have it in the cloth sleeve, and I clean it often, how could it have gotten in there, through the speaker grill? And could I use like an air compressor to blow it out or would that possible cause damage to it. I was going to buy the convertible case and a screen protector soon but still I don't see how that happens. Sorry for the dumb post but it is really annoying and I want to know if anyone else has had that happen or if it dust can be blown out.

Thats too bad. I dont get how its getting under there, Im thinking probably through the speaker grills but I'm not sure, the dead pixel was annoying enough but if any more dust gets under there its going to be really annoying to see all that on the screen. I dont know if the one already in there might move to the edge so its not as noticeable or if it might work its way out over time, if more get under there though Id say the best solution would be to take the glass off, if its even possible on the PB, I dont know that much about them, I heard the battery isnt removable but I think that means user removable meaning a PB dealer could open and replace it. If it can be opened without a professional without scratching anything then maybe just taking the glass off will work but I'd only do that as a last resort. I'm starting to get more and more disappointing with the PB the dust, the battery life isnt what I hoped for it to be, and there are very few good apps. Maybe when the ipad 3 comes out I can get a cheap ipad one to fill in for where the PB lacks

How does dust get in the screen anyway?

I have a few dust spects in the screen you don't usually notice. But I have when the comp is closed a gray piece of dust, a little bigger than a dust dot, like a bigger piece of dust. You can sometimes see it on a really light screen when the comp is on. How did it get in, and so far in the middle? Will dust fall down later? Because I dunno how the dust got to the middle...
Ugh it just bugs me! Dumb dust how did it get in the macbook pro screen! Had my mac for over 2 years.

Yeap. I have that same problem with my Zen Vision: M and my friend has the same problem with his iPod. Yes... It does get really freaking annoying. I just posted a thread about it because its really bugging the crap out of me... So I dont know any possible way to fix this, besides taking it apart.

I have Firefox 19 and the screens are narrow. How can I get full width screens, like I get in IE? Full Screen command only makes my screens taller, not wider.

I just got a new Dell Optiplex computer with Windows 7. I installed Firefox 19 on it. The web pages come up narrow, with borders on each side. So the content of the screen is smaller than what I've gotten in the past with Firefox 3.6 on my previous computer. I did the Full Screen command, and that only made the screen taller rather than giving me a full screen (such as I get with the same web pages in Internet Explorer). I've also tried enlarging the text, but that throws off the format of the web page so some parts of it overlap.
What can I do to get a full screen, including full width?
There is a box below this Details box called "Troubleshooting Information" which says I should click Allow and then click Install. Since I don't know what would be installed on my computer, I did not do it.

The Troubleshooting Information extension adds some useful information to your post, but in this case, I don't think it's really needed.
Zoom is your best bet. To make it work for you, I have two suggestions.
(1) Switch from "text only" zoom to "full page" zoom. This is proportional like in IE.
View menu > Zoom > ''uncheck'' Zoom Text Only
If you are using the compact menus with the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key to display the full classic menu bar.
(2) Install an extension that can default your view to a higher zoom level automatically to save time when visiting new sites. Here are two candidates:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/ Default FullZoom Level]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint]
With that combination, can you minimize your eyestrain? :-)

How can I get a cool intro like this one on my videos using iTunes?

hi George
thank you for helping.
I thought about the same idea >> to add fields and hide them and then show them one by one upon to user reuest , but I think that will solve just a part of the problem regarding the functionality ,,, while the formatting issue won't be solved ,,, I mean look at the form I linked to ,,, the table borders and final appearance remains the same even after adding a new row.
is it possible to do so if I used AcroForm and hide the fields ?
and how will I get the total of those variable number of rows after user finished adding rows ?
regarding the other thing you mentioned (pushing items down as new rows are added) ,,, I think I can avoid this by adding the table in a separate page ,,, because according to my business requirements ,,, rows that will be added won't exceed 30 maximum.
thank you for your time.

Is the 2G Touch prone to getting dust/lint under the screen?

I have a Contour Showcase, but it tends to get dust/lint beneath the plastic surrounding the edge of the screen; and the dock and headphone jacks are exposed. I keep the Touch in my pocket, so it collects lint. I get paranoid because I had a cellphone once that got so much lint under the screen I couldn't see anything. I tried using a Power Support screen protector, but it attracted even more lint and only covered the screen itself. Is the Touch likely to accumulate dust/lint under the screen?

It can. Mine has a lot of dust inside the unit that has settled on top of the LCD that got in through a gap between the screen and metal on the right hand side of the iPod (also called a light leak, as when it's used in the dark you can see light emitting through said gap).
Apple has refused to acknowledge the problem.

Apple ID. My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID. My apple ID is not an email address. How can I get past the set-up screen?

My newly updated iPad 2 wants an email for the apple ID. My apple ID is not an email address. How can I get past the set-up screen?
I can't change my Apple ID. It would mess all my stuff up.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hi Spookola,
I don't know how that could have happened. Go through the folders for the rolls and separate the 2005 rolls from the 2006 rolls, then import the 2006 rolls.

Unless it is a 3rd party cord, there is no cord that just goes from the phone to the wall. However, you will need a cord that connects to the computer and the phone. The device is in recovery mode and you will need to restore it. See this support document for the instructions. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
