IPhone Gen 1 - Bottom Multi-Touch non-responsive

My phone is out of warranty as of July 2nd, 2008. Google this issue about the bottom half of the iHone not working and this is a KNOWN MANUFACTURE defect but Apple wants $199 to replace with like model of Gen 1 iPhone.
If I want to spend the same money I can get the 3G but I have to extend my contract for a KNOWN MANUFACTURE defect.
Does anyone work at apple that could please help me replace my first gen iphone with another first gen. iphone.
- Life long Apple User

I just had the same problem with a non-responsive bootom portion of the screen on my 1st generation. Apple knows that it is a screen defect yet to all of us first buyers and believers in Aplle service, they just want to sell us a new iphone. I had gone into the store after being told tha it was a know defect to Apple the day before to purchase a new 3G iphone for my girlfriend and replace my 1st generation phone...but am told that to since my phone was purchased in July of 2007, known defect or not, it will not be replaced and to repair it is the same price as the new 3G!!! so much for believing in Apple service, especailly when I see that others below have had their phone replaced "no questions asked"!!! If anyone hears of replacement or Apple standing up to the service standards, please let me know.

Ipod touch non responsive

One day after work i went to listen to my ipod and it wouldnt do anything but showed the battery was dead. so i plugged it in but it would not power up but just kept showing the red low battery. My computer does not recognize it and it is completely functionless, im not sure what i should do with it

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 5 slide screen non responsive

It happened again!!! The iPhone 5 slide screen function is non responsive. Last time i waited for the battery to run down (luckily is was almost dead) for me to restart it and it was responsive again. How do i restart this device if i can't use the shut down slide option? Please help.

hello Neville,
It sounds like you want to know how to restart the phone if you cannot Slide to Power off when prompted. You can reset the device with this process if that happens again:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Can the Genius Bar cable to my iPhone 5S to enter my passcode on a broken, non-responsive touch screen? I need to back up the 5S before replacing it under AppleCare

Can the Genius Bar cable my 5S to their computer or separate keyboard to enter my passcode on a broken, non-responsive touchscreen? I need to get past the passcode to either transfer my data and pics to a new 5S or my PC computer (that the 5S has never been synced with.

Are you serious... only bluetooth keyboards? Even if the keyboard has the lightning connector? This supposedly works on the iPhone: http://store.griffintechnology.com/wired-keyboard-for-ios-devices

Non-responsive touch at far right of iPhone5 screen

Hello,
I've now received a second brand new iPhone5 that continues to show the same problem. Even a recent visit to an Apple Store left the staff baffled and unable (or unprepared/disinterested) to answer. The issue relates to the iPhone5's inability to respond to touch at the very far right edge of the screen.    The rest of the screen is fine...just the far right.
The problem is highlighted when attempting to use the vertical alphabetic index that sits on the far right when attempting to quickly select a 'contact' or a 'music track'.   The problem is particularly annoying with the intermittent response to the letter 'P' on the pop up QWERTY keyboard which will only response if I jab it several times or touch slightly to the left of the letter.   The best Apple staff could offer is that the iPhone5 has a longer screen and that this has strectched the content more towards the centre and away from the right edge. I know that you, like me, can see that this is nonsense.
I've just replaced an iPhone 3GS for the iPhone5 and the earlier model had no problem. Apple have suggested that I just need to click a little further to the left of the 'letter' for it to work, i.e. don't bother touching the letter direct?? Seems a lame excuse to me. I've checked this with a few friends with new iPhones who have never had an iPhone before and they thought this was 'normal'.
Of course I have performed 2 factory resets via iTunes and 4 master resets on the handset to no avail.
So before I attempt to a third replacement phone from Orange I thought I'd ask my wise friends on this community for their view. I'd therefore be grateful to know if you have experienced similar problems with iPhone5 or whether you consider the poor touch responsive to be 'normal' and that I'm just being fussy.
Thanks in anticipation.
Steve
p.s. Isn't it shameful that Apple Stores are not yet selling iPhone5 cases, cables and lightning connectors? My local Store at Westfield, Stratford, London could only apologise profusely and confess to feeling more than embarrassed.

This is not expected behavior for the device. I've just tried it on mine and as long as you touch some part of the key you should have the device react appropriately. Even slightly touching the right edge of the "P" key box should result in the appropriate action.
It is highly unusual to have two phones that are experiencing the same issue and in most cases many people would suggest an issue with the operator or the environment that it's being used in, so be prepared if you take the phone in for another Genius Bar session.
In your case however, you seem pretty competent! Yay! and you've had experience with an iPhone before so you know how it should function.
I'd first offer that it's a possible software issue which is being carried over from your original device through a backup, but you have already done a factory restore with setup as a new device which would eliminate that possiblity.
Double check to make sure the original plastic cover has been removed (you'd be suprised at how many people leave this on). If you have a screen protector, try removing it and seeing if the phone functions any better as these can affect the touch response of the screen.
If it continues at this point..... I'd think it'd be reasonable to say there is a hardware problem with your phone.
Apple's own support document states this:
"Tip: To isolate an issue related to a portion of the Multi-Touch display, follow these steps:
Open the Maps application and double-tap each corner, then the center, to verify that it zooms in to each section.
If a specific area is affected in another application, note the location and try to verify touch functionality for that location in the Maps application.
On iPhone and iPod touch, you can also use Calculator:
Open the calculator app to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the device to change to the scientific calculator and press the buttons in the left or right two rows."

Use this information to demonstrate the issue to the Apple Retail Employees what troubleshooting steps you have followed and how Apple's Support document sugguests you should proceed.
I hope this helps.
EDIT: It should also be noted that none of the iPhone's have an "edge to edge" screen so there is a tiny bit of bezel at the left and right side of the screen.

Ipod touch 4th display problem - Non-responsive

Good afternoon.
iPod touch 4th Gen is non-responsive to the screen. Will display "slide to unlock" but is unresponsive to touch. Screen also has vertical and horizontal lines which appear all the way across the screen. Interestingly the siri will come on if you push the button. In other words siri works, the display shows full charge and directional arrow. It would appear that the screen is non-responsive and displaying these lines but the underlying operations are fine. Siri will answer a question. Of course I've reset and also restored everything to factory settings and latest software updates. I don't have any software on the iPod that wasn't from the iTunes store. BTW, there's been no trauma to the screen or case. I'm beyond 90 days from purchase, but under one year of ownership.
Any ideas? Thank you.

If you restored as new and the problem persists then you have a hardware problem. If you have had it for less than a year it is in warranty so take it to an Apple Store and have the iPod replaced.

I have a 4th Gen Itouch non-responsive - says product has been replaced?

I'm stationed here in S. Korea - I purchased the phone on a military installation. I have had the Itouch for about 2 months then it just shut off randomly one day. Non-responsive, will not charge.. I've tried everything from different cables, hard reset, will not recognize on itunes at all. no water damage. I entered in my serial # and it says the product has been replaced? It has not been replaced.
How can I find out more information about this?

An iPod will not pair to a computer via BT. The iPod doe not have the necessary profile to support that. Sorry. Also see the following:

Multi-Touch Gestures disabled on 1st gen iPad in iOS 5?

Apple, please fix this!!! This is absurd! Why on earth would you handicap 1st gen ipad owners? There is no hardware limitation with the 1st gen, so why remove this from iOS 5 for ipad1? As a developer who used xCode I enabled the new multi-touch gestures on my iPad and they were a great addition, and now to read that under iOS 5 they are no supported on first gen ipad is simply beyond me. Outrageously stupid. I already installed iOS 5 on my iPad. So I am simply out of luck????

Please fix this Apple! I have been using them for a while and going back to not having them on my iPad 1 is VERY frustrating!
Productivity levels decrease while using the iPad in the "old school" way clicking the home button all the time to switch through apps. If gestures are to be non existent in iPad 1 I think it would be good to know the technical reasoning behind this. Also, the online documentation should be reviewed and promote this as part of iPad 2 and above, not iPads as described in:
http://www.apple.com/ios/features.html
"iOS 5 includes a few new moves and shortcuts to help you get around even quicker on your iPad: Using four or five fingers, swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar, pinch to return to the Home screen, and swipe left or right to switch between apps."
Thanks and looking forward to a fix

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch have at the same time?

How many Multi-Touch points can an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad have at the same time?
I am curious as IIRC (but forgot where the article is on the Internet),
if a touch surface is wanted to be able to detect more than 1 touch point at the same time,
then that touch surface needs adding 1 more conductive(?) layer.
(e.g. 2 points -> 2 layers, and so on)
So I wonder how many these layers are on the iPhone / iPod touch / iPad or even the trackpad on every MacBook (Pro).
(correct me if I'm wrong)
Just curious, thanks in advance!

I believe it can only support 2. This article explains how the touch screen works but doesn't explicitly say how many points is supports.

Hi jaredfox06,
If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
Try these steps first
Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
If you don't, try these steps:
Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.
