IPhone, displays green/blue stripey screen and locks.

I have an original iPhone that has suddenly started to malfunction.
The phone seems fine but when it goes into standby mode it becomes unstable. If I receive a phone call, text or try to wake the phone it locks displaying a green/blue stripy screen.
This screen will stay on until/unless you reset the phone. After the boot sequence the phone has then lost it's setting such as date time etc. The big issue being that if the phone malfunctions in your pocket you do not know until the phone/screen is so hot it is almost burning your skin. This as you may expect is a massive drain on the battery life.
Is this a common problem and is there a way to fix the phone?

Sounds like a hardware problem, but have you tried a Restore? Else, since the Original iPhone was never officially available in Norway, you must have a hacked/jailbroken phone - Apple will not service it. If a Restore doesn't help, you'll need to buy a new phone.

Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Hard Reset: HOld the home button and the sleep/wake button of your iPhone for about 10 to 15 seconds at the same time. Holding down both buttons at the same time till you see the apple appear

Screen problems - black screen and lock-up (plus HDMI issues)

Hi, I'm not sure if these are related to the same fundamental issue, but they are both serious problems that need resolution.
I have a new mid-2012 MBPretina. I am on all the latest updates (10.8.2).
The first problem is the most recent, and the most serious problem. Since I updated the Java a couple of days ago I've been experiencing random black screens and lock-ups. Essentially, what happens is that sometimes when I perform an action (opening an app, clicking a link on a webpage, performing other kinds of in-app actions, etc.) the computer screen will go black. About half the time I can, through my own memory, try keyboard combinations to quit or force quit the most recently used app (the one where the action was just performed), and I will get some glimpse of the underlying apps, while the menubar and other areas will remain black until I move a window on top of the black space. Sometimes no key combinations work and I am forced to perform a hard restart with the power button. This is a serious issue, obviously, since I will lose current work/progress in my apps. I'm not sure if this is because of the new Java update, or has to do with something else, but it started happening shortly thereafter, over the last 2 days. I work most of my waking day on my laptop, and this "black screen of death" has happened about 5 or 6 times a day.
The second problem I have been experiencing since I starting using my MBPr with external HDMI displays in August/September. The problem is that I will plug the MBPr into an HDMI display, the screen will temporaliy go black, and then bring me to the login screen (as if it's crashing, albeit softly). This happens about 1 out of 4 times nowadays.
How can I fix these problems, especially the first?

UPDATE:
Clearly there's a problem because a third of the way through a clean reinstallation from scratch it black screened again. Hmmmm.
Now this is not good. Problem is I can't rule out potential updates from Apple that might have caused this either.
The search for solutions continues.

Copy displays in blue on screen

I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8. All my copy (all text) displays in blue on screen, when it's supposed to be black. When I send to printer however it prints correctly in black. Is there a reason whey this is happenening and is there a way to fix this problem? I have tried opening different pdfs from multiple sources so it's not just one pdf file that is doing this. This is happening to all the pdfs not just the one that I have created. When I open on a different computer or if I open the file in Acrobat Reader, copy is displayed in black like it should be. I am on a MAC running 10.6.8. Thx!

See if "Replace document colour" is selected under Accessibility Preferences.

My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging.

My iphone 4 has a black screen and gets warm when charging. also, the battery runs out unusually fast. I can still receive calls etc and can see a 'backlight' come on behind the black screen when buttons are pressed, but I can not see anything on the screen. I have tried restoring the phone from recovery mode in iTunes but this does not fix the problem. If it were the screen that needs replacing then would the phone get warm?
thanks for your help

Look in the dock and see if you can see any scaly blue-ish stuff. Look in the headphone jack under bright light - can you see anything pink?
Take it to an Apple store. They can help you with a repair. If you take it anywhere else, Apple will not repair your phone if anything goes wrong.

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

How can I set up Cinema Display as a main screen and leave my macbook pro as a second screen instead?

I learned that the Dock is positioned at the chosen edge of whatever Display is positioned farthest to that side. E.g. for the Dock to be positioned on the right side of the Cinema Display (instead of the right side of the MacBook), the Cinema Display must be oriented (by dragging) to the right of the MacBook monitor on the "Arrangement" tab of the Displays Preference Panel.

My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to backup to it. I haven't backed my old one up in over a year because the storage is full. How would I back it up to iCloud on a Dell or Toshiba computer?

Hi Linda Loo Loo,
If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

Have you synced this phone, with iTunes, while the passcode was enabled? If so, plug it in, iTunes running, & hit the Restore button on the Summary Pane. This will also erase the phone.
However, if you have not synced, while the passcode was enabled, you will not be able to do this without first enereting the passcode. If that's the case, try recovery mode:

Solution for a course going to a black screen and locking up after a while (20-30 slides for me)?

The LMS is Saba and I'm using Captivate 6. I am testing the course in production. The course goes to a black screen and locks up. The first time was at slide 28 of 55 which is a widget and the second time was at slide 20 of 55 which is a multiple choice test item. I'm not sure if the type of slide I'm trying to advance to matters but I want to give as much info as possible. The issue seems to be random since I was first able to get to slide 28.

With LMS issues you should always test the same project in SCORM Cloud before you blame the project. If SCORM Cloud shows the same issue, fine, blame the project. If SCORM Cloud has no issue with it, get in touch with the LMS vendor. It may be that they need to update some component of their SCORM Player software.

Is there a case on the iphone?
If so, then remove it and see if that solves it.
Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar.
