Iphone/ipod touch black negative screen issue

Not interested in bringing up opinions of if there is or is not an issue, my question is.....
Those of you that felt there was an issue, did you take it to a genius bar, or send it back to apple for repair/replacement?
If you did, was it exchanged, or were you told that it wasnt an issue that was covered.
I feel my phone has the problem and Im just wondering if its worth pursuing or not.

I went into the apple store with a friend today and compared about 10 Iphones/touches using the lagom.nl small screen tests. They all look the same as my 38 week iphone. I compared 26,28,32,34 week iphones and they all looked the same as mine and the one at the bottom of:

I cannot find 1 Iphone or touch in the store that looks like the top image in the above link.
My coworker has a 32 week old and it is identical to mine.

  • IPod Touch Fifth Generation Screen Issue.

    I've had my iPod for about a year and never had any problems. Tonight I went to watch some videos as I normally do. While watching one of the videos the screen became unresponsive. It still played but it wouldn't rotate or recognize swipes. Hitting the home button took me to the menu but I still couldn't swipe through my app's. Turning it off resets the screen but for maybe a couple minutes. I was able to get to Vine and then little and big black bars faded in on the top and the screen went blue. When it turned back on it worked for 5 minutes then the colors got all distorted, it zoomed in on the menu, and more little bars faded in and out. Now the screen won't turn on. The top half of the iPod is starring to get hot, almost to hot to touch. The iPod has never overheated, froze from the cold, never been wet, dropped, or anything. It's spent it's life laying on my bed connected to the charger or around the house. Anything I can do myself or have someone else do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. From the hotness, a hardware problem is likely.

    Hello, miller.lala78.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your daughter's iPod touch will not respond.  I would start with going through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

    A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
    Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
    http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
    Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
    The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

    Greetings Tom;
    I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed!  I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators.  I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
    Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager?  Hopefully this is available to you in the UK.  We'll keep in touch.  All the best...

  • 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.

    Apple wil exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99.

    For how see:

    That is about the same price as a third-party place like this one.

  • IPod Touch Home WiFi Connectivity Issue

    Hi,
    I didn't know my Linksys WRT546 password when our new iPod Touch wanted it for Internet connectivity. I changed the Linksys password and now cannot get the "iTouch" to ask for the wireless router's password again after it finds the encrypted home network. I just get a screen wanting all types of IP connectivity info. Did we hit a wrong key? How can we get the iTouch to recognize the home network and ask for just the password to gain connectivity since it already recognizes the wireless network? Many thanks for suggestions.

    yes... it is 3.1 Apple has had problems since 3.0 and are either unable or unwilling to fix the problem - and they are aware of it. Unless your device came from the factory with 3.0/3.1 do not expect it to work.
    I can assure you Apple is aware of it and there isn't really anything to fix. FYI, new iPods still do not come with 3.1 firmware.
    There was some super secret major change that older devices can't handle. You still have to go through the process of documenting things so the will give you a new one. I am doing that now. I had to force roll back from 3.0 to 2.x in order to get my wifi to work again and had to 'allow' the apple tech to force me to 3.1 and make notes on my account so when I got home tonight and it was HALF the capability and range as on 2.x - I can make ANOTHER trip back to the store to get a new device. Welcome to Apple, powered by the same work/design ethic that brought you Microsoft Vista.
    Yes, another conspiracy has been hatched. All hardware evolves over time. There are always ongoing upgrades to any electronic device that is made in as high of numbers as iPhones/iPod touches are. Your WiFi has half the range? What about your router - what is it, when was it made, when was the last time you updated its firmware?
    Please, this is not an opinion forum but a help forum. If you have something to add to help someone with an iPod touch problem, please do so.

  • Interactive QuickTime on iPhone/iPod Touch

    Hi All
    I am a relative newbie. I have created an interactive quicktime mov using Keynote. Works fine on screen and on web. Can't get it play on an iPhone/ iPod Touch. Is there any special quicktime settings I should be using? All help gratefully received.
    cheers
    Greg

    Thanks for suggestion. I am puzzles though. Qt is such a powerful medium. Apple has enabled some of the text tracks within QT to play closed captions on iTunes / iPhone. That is great. How / when do the other tracks get enabled so we can use the full power?

    Clearly, it's not inexpensive.  You might wish to try a few things yourself.
    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
