I have a refurbished iPhone 5 (which I got less than a year ago) and the screen becomes unresponsive and there is a purplish haze that appears on the phone when I try to use it. Hasn't been dropped or cracked.. What could it be? help!!

I Have a refurbished iPhone 5 that is less than a year old (apple replaced my first one due to a battery fault) but this one has all of a sudden become unresponsive most times and a purple haze has come thru the background on the lCd. The cursor goes abit cranky sometimes too and jumps from Window to window?! It has never been dropped or screen has never been replaced either no exposure to water or sun. This happened after I upgraded to the new iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the update but I've never had good results from updating the iPhone anyway..
HELP?? I have an appt with Apple tomorrow but don't know if I can wait that long!!
THanks in advance.

    Hey there jjroca,
    It sounds like you are unable to make or recieve phone calls because the screen goes black. I would start by quitting all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would use the troubleshooting in the following article, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • HT4061 Device had been purchased in Hong Kong less than one year ago. May I get warranty service in London?

    Device had been purchased in Hong Kong less than one year ago. May I get warranty service in London? Actually i have problem of "Error 23" and didn't succeed to solve it.

    Warranty and support for the iPhone are provided only in the country in which the iPhone was officially sold. To get service for an iPhone purchased in Hong Kong, you'll have to take the iPhone back to HK or send it to someone you know there who can get it serviced and then ship it back to you.
    Regards.

    Hi, samer.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature.  Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

  • I got my ipod 5 less than a year ago, and yesterday the speakers stopped working. Will I get a new ipod for free?

    Yesterday, i plugged in headphones, and when i took them out, it said headphones were still in it when i tried to change the volume. Now it cannot play any volume, or take in any volume, unless you have headphones plugged in and the have a built in microphone. Since i got my ipod less than a year ago, will i get a new one for free?

    First
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.

  • Some times when I press the home button to read my finger the screen becomes black and it shows the Apple logo, this take a few seconds to get back the screen and this has been happening even 3 or 4 times in a row!   What should I do?

    What should I do?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

    Hello Sarika,
    I tried to do as suggested in your link, but I can’t open the programs anymore, so I can’t get to the possibility of deactivate!
    I did get the updates, but that’s all…
    Any other way of getting there?

  • I have an iphone 5 and the screen has been cracked. The phone was provided by my service provider less than a year ago. Will apple repair my screen?

    I got an iphone 5 a few months back (less than a year) when i signed up to a contract with vodafone. Since then the screen has cracked although the touch ability still works. Is this covered under the warranty and Apple will repair it, or if not how much will they charge to do so?

    If you're in the US, some Apple stores can replace the display for $149. If yours can't, you can get the phone replaced for $269.
    It is not covered under the warranty.

  • I have had an apple iPad 2 for less than a year and I have less than 2 pages of apps but when I look at the space meter the "other" section is taking up 6.7 Gb out of 16 Gb on it. I have researched this on the Internet and no one seems to know what it is.

    I have had an apple iPad 2 (16 Gb) for less than a year with less than two pages of apps, but when I look at the bar which tells you how much space you have used, it says I have 6.7 Gb worth of "other" space used. I am unable to download any apps on account of all the space used. I have researched this problem and I can't seem to find an explanation. If anyone knows the solution or has spoken to apple about this please help if you can. Thank you!

    The long and short of it is that you will probably have to restore your iPad. That giant "other" space is a sign of a corrupt file from a sync, I am pretty sure, but I am quite sure that the way to resolve it is to restore the iPad.
    You can search the discussion site for similar threads but I think you will find that a restore is the way to correct it. Read this one.

  • I bought my iphone less than a year ago and i cracked the screen. i replaced it and now my wifi signal is weak. what do i do?

    Please help, I have no idea how to fix it.

    The WiFi antenna connector to the Logic Board is the small pop top connector that is last in order of all the Flex ribbon cables of the iPhone 4S, when working on the iPhone it is top right. It also has the small pressure plate on top, this pressure plated is held down by a screw that threads into the top of the screw below (stand-off screw). Reconnect this pop top connector carefully and perfectly to the Logic Board, put the small cover plate back perfectly, and then the screw.

  • HT200261 I work in a school and manage over 50 iPads. I have a new MacBook and my "backup iPad" says it is supervised by another device. I still have the old MacBook. Is there a way to remove that supervision from the iPads and add it to the new one?

    I have two MacBooks. I have sole control over one of them. Our Tech Director wants me to control everything iPad in the school. I am trying to set up Apple Configurtator on the new Mac, transfer all the apps already downloaded, and everytime I plug my "backup" iPad into the new MacBook, it says, "This iPad is supervised by another computer and cannot be used with this computer.
