IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.
I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

I have iPhone 5 and the touch screen doesn't work
I have iphone 5 and the touch screen doesn't work,i want to restart it but my touch screen is not working. I read lots of reviews and support from online all in vain. Please help me fix the problem.
<Re-Titled By Host>Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.
No data is loss doing a reset. -
I updated my iPhone 5 yesterday to iOS 8.1.3, now the touch screen isn't responding, keeps opening aps and then get stuck. Can't hang up after making a call. Can't close messages. Have I done something wrong?

How can I back up an iphone when I haven't set the phone up for back ups & the touch screen doesn't work? The phone can receive calls (not answer) & the pictures & messages can be seen but the touch screen doesn't work to unlock the phone or select anything. We want to save/transfer pictures, contacts, and music to the replacement phone.
Try backing it up to your computer with iTunes. Connect it to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of the phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer you apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.

My iPhone 4S seems to be in visual impaired mode, and the touch screen no longer works. I have tried rebooting the phone without success. How can I get back to normal mode?
I solved my own problem by clicking the home button 3 times.

I can't open apps on my iPhone. The touch screen doesn't work. I have restored it already but it still won't work. What can I do.
If the touch screen is not having any response then you probably have a hardware failure. Take your phone to an Apple Store or authorised service provider to have it checked.

hi i had my ipad mini on the windowsill and the touch screen is not working or the button on the screen and the screen is coming away is there anything i can do will apple take it back

Depends on the damage. The battery came loose in my iPhone. When Apple opened the phone to redo the glue they discovered the speakers were also loose. Apple replaced the phone.
If the glue was properly bonded or had some other flaw Apple will replace the device if the device is still under warranty. -

I restored my ipod touch, and now the touch screen refuses to work
my ipod touch recently said it needed activation, although I've been using it for 18 months now. When I connected to Itunes, it said it could not read the contents of the Ipod, although it did read the model number and other details. It said to restore it to the factory settings, which I did. after restore, the touch screen refused to work. after 24, it began working, but then said it needed activation again. Hook up to Itunes, same song and dance. It is frozen again. Has anyone else had t
You should take it to the nearest apple store to let them restore it and activate it. iTunes wouldn't dare restore my ipod touch everytime i tried to restore always an error. So the next day i took it to apple and they fixed it.

I was walking to my garage when my iPhone slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. I looked at it and saw strange almost-transparent lines on my lock screen. I tried to unlock my phone, but it wouldn’t let me do anything. It was almost as the touch screen wasn’t working. I turned it off and plugged in my phone to the charger and it started up automatically, but it still looked the same and wouldn’t work. I think that my iPhone 5 might be broken? Please help!

When my iphone 5C is charging the touch screen doesn´t work
how Can I receive support on this issue? I´m From Argentina and if I have to send the iphone to a technical support I must plan it. The touch screen starts to open lot of apps and I can´t use it, even when I writting it works with problems
if apps are opening on their own you have a problem with your phone, most likely the digitizer is sensing its being touched.

As i had said, I have an Apple Powerbook G4, and my monitor doesn't function. I have an external display Monitor, however it's stuck in extended screen mode. How do I get it to mirror or duplicate the display without use of the on-board? Is there a Fn key combo i'm missing or is the issue more serious then i realize? any and all help and hints would be greatly apprichiated, thanks in advance.
-Powerbook UserThe PowerBooks have an F-key that toggles mirrored and extended mode. My PB is loaned out right now but I think it was f7. The keycap has an icon on two overlapping rectangles, as I recall.
EDIT: Yes! Found a pdf of the PB manual it shows F7 is the toggle: -
