HT2490 How do I make the top tab bar stay on the screen all the time

How do I make the top bar stay on the screen all the time?

"Top tab bar"?
The top of the screen is where the applications menus appear on the left and system icons (time, volume. etc) appear on the right side.
This entire area is "covered over" when you enter into "Full Screen" mode. You can expose it while still in full screen by moving your cursor over the area.

I need a filter/layer app to dim my screen beyond the standard settings on my iPad 3, similar to the many apps in the Android app store that can dim the screen all the way to pitch black.

I would gladly pay for such an app but it does not exist as far as I can see. This renders my iPad useless to me in anything else but daylight since my eyes are very sensitive at the moment. Any suggestions on what to do? I've been thinking of putting something physical in front of the screen like a flash filter but haven't tried this out yet.

Saw this on another forum. Haven't tried it.
Settings App -> General –> Accessibility –> Triple-click Home -> “Toggle White on Black.”
Even though you can't reduce the illumination of the lights in the iPad further without a jailbreak, you can use this system setting to increase the amount of light that gets blocked in many cases by triple clicking the home button.
Another possibility. You gould get two polaroid plastic sheets and overlay them. When you rotate the sheets, you can vary the transmission all the way to dark. This works just like camera polarizing filters.
Send feedback to Apple. Since it can be done via jailbreak, Apple should be able to provide more adjustment.

My new Ipod Nano has only 14.88GB and not 16GB as promised. Why?

I just bought an Ipod Nano 16GB. I registered it at I-tunes and to my big surprise I realized it only has a capacity of 14.88GB and not 16GB. It is such a difference that it really counts, so I am a bit frustrated.
I have contacted Apple by E-mail, but they keep referring me to another department by saying it is not under their jurisdiction. It is as if they want to silence the matter.
Can anybody explain to me if anything is wrong with my Nano16GB and if so what I shall do next?
Thank you,
Posten

This is perfectly normal, some of the listed capacity is used for formatting and other functions including the iPod's operating software. You'll see the same thing if you connect any flash memory stick. For instance my 8GB USB memory stick is reported as 7.45 GB. The same thing happens with hard drives. With hard drives, there's a difference between how manufacturers calculate capacity and how the operating system calculates it. You'll see an example of that if you look at the size reported for your own computer hard drive. My 300 GB hard drive is reported as 279.36 for instance.: How much content will fit on my iPod?

1st Gen iPod Nano Will Only Let Me Add One Song At A Time!

Hi. I've got a 1st Gen Nano that has worked fine until recently. Last night, I decided that I wanted to reorganize my library and cleared all the songs off my iPod. I normally maintain my library manually, and have more songs than I do space (I have 4GB), so I wanted to pick and choose the songs I put back on.
I highlighted multiple songs and dragged them over to my iPod, but after three or four, they suddenly stopped transferring. I tried this over and over but the same thing kept happening. Then I tried to automatically sync it just to see what happened and, again, after just a few songs, it simply stopped. (Note that it never froze up or anything.) I shut down, rebooted my laptop and tried yet again -- same thing. I even restored my iPod to factory settings and THAT didn't help.
Apparently, I can only add songs one at a time now -- and I don't get why. I'm wondering if it could be the USB cord? I feel like that could be the issue, yet I wonder if a damaged USB cord would allow any transfers at all...
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
-Heather

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try a reset...

Also, does it work right in iTunes? Are all the songs checked?

My iPod nano 6th gen is not recognised by my computer or itunes, but still charges?

My laptop recently came back from repairs and wiped everything off of it, so I have had to reinstall everything again. The only way I have got my music is on my ipod, so I cant lose any of the music stored on the ipod.
I have tried everything to connect it to my laptop, but it just wont connect.
I have followed all instructions from other people who have had the same problem, but nothing works. I have tried uninstalling itunes, where I delete everything and reinstall it. I have tried uninstalling all my usb ports and reinstalling them. I have tried to download apple usb driver, but it didn't work. I have reset my ipod many times - but nothing works! My computer just wont show my ipod, but it still charges it.

And you have a tried a different USB cable to verify that the current cable is not faulty or damaged? If so, that points to a hardware issue with the Nano, likely its dock connector port. Look for signs of damaged/bent/corroded pins or debris that could be blocking a proper connection.

IPod 4th gen's screen was glitching, now the screen is half white, but still works.

Hello everybody! I couldn't find the solution to my problem anywhere on Google so here I am and I really, really hope you guys can help me.
My iPod 4th gen has been acting up lately. Last night, the screen kept flickering and glitching. This happened the first week I got my iPod, but it stopped after a bit and it never happened again until now. I thought this glitching would stop after a bit, but this morning, I still found my iPod in the same state (if not, worse).
I think the problem is yesterday I plugged my iPod into my laptop and none of the USB ports could pick up my iPod so I plugged it into my ancient computer to see if there was something wrong with my cord, but my computer was able to pick up my iPod and so I left it there to charge. I also downloaded the latest version of iTunes onto that computer because the iTunes on that one was really old. After, I plugged it back into my laptop and it worked again. What I'm thinking is that maybe the computer did something faulty to my iPod and messed it up. I think that's what happened the first time also when my brother used my old iPod nano charger (had it for five years) to use it to charge my iTouch.
Anyways, my iPod now has a white screen in the middle and I can't see anything at the bottom, but the first half of the screen is still visible. Also, my iPod still works. I can click on apps, view photos, listen to music perfectly, it's just the screen is all messed up and everything is just super bright.
I've tried resetting it by holding onto the home and the on/off button but it doesn't do anything. I was hoping I wouldn't have to restore my iPod, but it looks like I have to maybe? Do you think I should let my battery completely drain and then plug into my laptop or something? Any suggestions besides dropping by the Apple store to check it?
Thank you in advance.

I would restore the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.
If still have the problem then you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Error Message stays on the screen all the time

This message stays on my screen almost all the time. At the bottom it says "Press center to dismiss" but I have to press over and over multiple times to make it go away and then it usually comes right back anyway. The error message says "Firewire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided." I don't have any other problems. It seems to be a bogus message and I can't get rid of it.

I have a Ipod nano with only 128 songs (6mb) with no videos or anything but 128 songs..the ipod summary says i have 3.02GB of "other"...what is this "other" stuff and how can i get rid of it so i can have more songs on my ipod?!

..

The Other section on your iPod consists of a number of different things, including album artwork, your iPod's software, files you may be storing externally on it, games, and a few other things. However, it can usually include corrupt files from failed sync operations with iTunes. Usually the Other section should only be a small fraction of what's stored on your iPod, usually less than 1 GB.
So it sounds like your iPod may be corrupt, in which case you'll need to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.
