I have a 4th Gen. nano.  The screen is constantly disappearing.  It looks like a film behind the glass screen.  As it deteriorates, I can read less and less on the screen.  What is that called and can it be repaired?

I have a 4th generation nano.  The black screen behind the glass screen seems to be cracked and constantly disappearing.  It started in the corner and is working its way across the top of the screen.  The titles will disappear soon.  What do I need to have reapaired?

With the external screen connected and turned on, open the Displays pane in System Preferences. On the screen containing your menu bar, you should now see a Displays preference dialog box with an "Arrangement" tab in it. Click the Arrangement tab. Uncheck the box for "Mirror Displays," or make sure it is already unchecked. In the image within the preferences dialog box you should see two adjoining blue rectangles representing your two screens. A white bar on one representes the menu bar and indicates that that is the primary display. The larger rectangle represents your TV screen. If it's on the right side of the smaller rectangle representing your MBP's screen, then dragging a window off the right side of the built-in screen will move the window onto the TV.
Now open any application window — a web browser window, for example — and drag it by its title bar to move it off the edge of your built-in screen onto the TV screen. Got that? You can do the same thing with any other window, including a DVD Player or VLC window containing a movie that you want to watch.
Things to note: In this dual-display mode, which is called Extended Desktop mode, the menu bar and Dock will always appear on only one of the screens, and you can choose which one they appear on by dragging the white bar representing the menu bar from one rectangle to the other in the System Prefs > Displays > Arrangement tab. You can also set the resolutions of the two screens independently of each other. The highest available resolution on each screen will always provide the sharpest image.

  • Left Headphone not working, Right works fine. (4th Gen Nano)

    Hi there. I have a 4th Gen Nano. The right headphone plays, the left does not. I have tried other headphones in this device, but it still doesn't play, I have tried all the headphones in other i-pods and they work fine, so it is not the headphones. Do I have a setting messed up somewhere? I have also reset the ipod twice now. Thanks.

    You have a defective headphone jack, either send it in for service or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store.

    Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:

    It's a really bad idea to post your iPhone's serial number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
    Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts. As you have apparently already created three accounts (or if it's a used phone the previous owner did) you cannot create any more one it. This is tied to the hardware, not the account, and there is no way round it.
    You can create a new iCloud account on another iOS device or on a Mac, and then you will be able to sign into that on your iPhone.

  • I ask the third time: How can I enlarge the menue symbols and the text of the menue in Photoshop CS6 vers.13 so that I can read them??? My laptop has Win 8.1 and a screen resolution of 3840x2160

    It is unbelievable that such an expensive software does not provide a proper lay out wit a high screen resolution!
    It is also unbelivable that it is not possible to get a qualified employee of ADOBE on the phone in Germany.

    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
    If it's a charge though your iTunes Store account, it should be reflected in your Purchase History:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly or your credit card number has been stolen and used by someone else in another iTunes Store account rather than an unauthorized purchase through your account. In either case it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

    There are many ways and applications that you can use to build a web site. Which will be best for you will depend on the site you want to build and your level of expertise. Many experienced web developers just use a text editor, often one with specialized features for web programming (BBEdit, for example), but there are programs that can offer additional help, up to and including "drag and drop". Without knowing more about your needs, it's difficult to offer specific advice, but here are some possibilities:
    iWeb - came with your Mac. Easy to build but rather limiting in what you can do.
    RapidWeaver - more flexible and capable than iWeb but harder to use; sort of an "inbetweener" application
    Dreamweaver - powerful but expensive and a steep learning curve
    There are of course a number of other options. If you can provide more detail about what you wish to build and your level of experience, someone can probably make more targeted recommendations.
    Regards.

  • My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture? I must have pressed a button without noticing it. What does that mean, and how can I get them back to normal?

    My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture? I must have pressed a button without noticing it. What does that mean, and how can I get them back to normal?

    My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture?
    Ana Candano, what is your Aperture version? Earlier Aperture versions - until Aperture 3.2.4 had colored icons, Aperture 3.3 and later are gray in gray. Do you have two versions of Aperture installed?
    When you post back, list your version of MacOS X and the versions of any Aperture.app you can find with Spotlight on your Mac.
    Frank, the thread you pointed to, was a different question, but probably is related. It would be good to know how it has been resolved.

  • I have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

    i have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

    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 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.  It could take well over an hour!  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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
