Misty screen and blurry camera ?

Okay so my new iPhone 4S I got for Christmas was working fine until yesterday when the screen looks like it has a misty effect on it. It's really weird. And also because of the misty effect the back camera has gone all blurry. I have cleaned it many of times but it is still blurry the front face camera works perfectly. I have dropped it once or left it in the shower . I just turned it of over night and in the morning when I turned it on it looked like it had a effect ?? when there is a icon this is a outline of lines from the icon the the edge of the screen. Lucky I have a ipad so I can use this instead what should I do to get it fixed ??!!!❓❓❗️❗️

Hi Elschapmanx,
I'm sorry to hear your iPhone 4S is not working great as it should. I have done a bit of research, and I would like to suggest you to do a backup of all your data (e.g. contacts, calendars, email, etc.) using iTunes and then perform a fresh installation of the iOS.
It might sound a bit drastic, but it is better to make sure this issue is not associated to a software failure, so if after the clean installation and before restoring your personal data the problem persists we can see what we can do.
Cheers,
Miguel

Shattered Screen and Broken Camera Worth Repairing?

I've had my original iPhone since the week of it's release and never had a problem with it until I dropped it down the stairs of my house last year.
When it finally came to rest at the bottom of the stairs it suffered a shattered screen and broken camera.
Everything else has worked perfectly fine and I've been able to continue using it despite it's shattered screen while I've looked for a job.
With a new job and some cash in my wallet I'm looking to fix this phone disaster.
Now while I know purchasing a 3G phone for $99 is cheaper than having my 2G repaired, I just can't seem to want to part with my AT&T plan.
I have such a great deal going being under a family plan that if I change to the 3G my bill monthly will close to double.
Over time I'll save more money just repairing it than purchasing the 3G for $99 and getting ripped off with AT&T's plan for it.
My question is does Apple still do repairs on their original phones?
Or would I have to go about finding the parts and repairing it myself?

You could also look at second-hand original phones on eBay or somesuch.
There are also third-party services--google "iphone repair" or something.
Also, are you sure about the plan? AT&T currently does not give discounts on multiple data plans within a family--did they with the original iPhone? The difference for data and 200 texts with a 3G/3GS should be $15/month (plus tax).
Also, I would not buy the 3G, if you do go that route. You'll get much more for your $35/month by spending a bit more upfront on the 3GS, especially since you seem to be a person who is happy to keep a phone for a long time.

Blue/Green Screen And Multiple Cameras?

Next week a number of us are demonstrating Blue/Green Screen filming and editing to members of our video club who are not familiar with the technique.
Originally the person who thought up the idea intended to have 3 groups of people filming a 2 minute script on a "station platform" a la "Brief Encounter".
So far, so good, but then the creator of the idea suggested we should shoot each scene with 2 or 3 cameras to make it look more professional.
I don't like complications when the aim is to demonstrate a technique, but somebody has suggested there will be a further drawback.
When we cut from one camera to another during editing, the angle of the "actors" will alter but the background will not!
This will create the equivalent of a jump-cut.
Has anyone done such a shoot, experienced this problem or found a (reasonably simple) solution?
My idea of a solution is to have one camera in a fixed position! But, then, I am lazy.

Hi Ian
You know me and my speculations (what You got without enough Know-How)
But I would try to first apply Green-screen effect to one Camera angle
at a time. Then I can get another background for Camera two etc.
Then save these as QT full quality .mov (or rather back to Camera and new tape
feel much safer this way) and re-import then and now prepare
for multi angle cutting. (By putting one Camera on each track. Minimizing size
to 25% and locate each to one separate corner)
Now playback and I will in Canvas see all Cameras in each corner and can by using
transparicy adjuts which one to be seen.
Then as a last action - upscale all to 100%
Done
But as You see this is me just speculating. I fell for FC-Pro and the MultiCam
function here. It's fantastic.

New uniboyd 15'' screen and blurry text?

I'm coming from an October 15'' unibody macbook pro and I just bought the newer 15'' Macbook Pro with the upgraded screen. (9CA3). While the colors, black level, and viewing angles are definitely better on this screen. I notice that the text looks noticeably blurry to me. As if the sharpness is off on this one. My older 15'' didn't exhibit this issue. I'm wondering if it's just the new screen or a defect. Does anyone else notice a lack of text sharpness on the new screens? (Note: I've messed with font smoothing/appearance settings to no avail)

I am also having a similar problem. I bought a new 13 inch Macbook Pro this week and it turns out that the text looks noticeably blurry as compared to text on my old white plastic Macbook. I was wondering if it is just the new screen or a defect with mine one only.

Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

Bad luck. Take ti back.

I too had the same vertical white line in the centre of the screen last night after having my iPhone 5 up and running for 10 days. I managed to turn it off by holding the buttons in and it came up with the iTunes screen....2 hours later it came good?

I was talking outside on my iPhone 5 in a fairly humid environment (The Pilbara in January, 2014) then when the call was finished I hung up (as I was walking back inside to the air-conditioning) this white vertical line appeared in the centre of the screen and wouldn't go away. I couldn't use it NOR could I accept calls. (I called my number from my other phone). I eventually managed to turn it off after removing the protective casing (Otter Box) and then it came up with the white cord / iTunes screen........I left it for a while...it turned back on BUT is still had a flickering screen.......I re-charged it and I have backed it up this morning (at work) on iTunes and it seems to be working 'fine.' All I can say is 'DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY PHONE IF YOU HAVE ONE!' I haven't had an OUNCE of trouble with it and have owned it for at least 3 years. The iPhone has been up and 'running' since the 6th of January, 2014. This happened on the 15th of January, 2014.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

My Screen Is Blurry, Pixilated and Won't Respond To Touch In Lower Left Corner

I noticed it was sitting in some serious condensation from my icy drink earlier but it was the backside. First the lower left corner started acting strangely and wouldn't respond to touch. The screen looks blurry like I'm seeing double and then it gets slightly pixilated. It hasn't been updated yet to iOS 7.1.2 though. Wondering if I should power down and put it in the rice for 24 hours. I pulled the sim card out and checked the white to see if it turned red. It didn't, but my last phone was water damaged and it also stayed white.

Has anyone experienced anything like this from just condensation? I'm rice-bagging it for 48 hours just in case. I couldn't find anything like this online.

Screen is blurry and angled

hi,
i m a mac user and suddenly i can t get firefox to work properly. the screen is all "funny" (it would be best if i could send you a screen shot), angled and blurry.
I have re downloaded and reinstalled firefox but the issue persists. any other software and browser work fine so the problem is definitely with firefox.
thank you in advance for your help

Screen is blurry and shaking.

I always turn my iPhone off every night. And this morning my iPhone 4s screen is blurry and kind of shaking. What am I suppose to do? because I never dropped my phone or get any waters to it.Also my signal bar and the battery bar is kind of cut into half and I don't know why. IOS is 7.1. Thanks

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Since updating my phone to the new iOS 7 latest update my rear camera only shows a black screen and my touch no longer works?

does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried the restarting my phone and closing down the camera app but it still doesn't work

Hi MLucas22,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend this article for troubleshooting your touchscreen:

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Cheers,
- Ari

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

I got to that page but clicking on the Subscribe Free had no effect.
Nothing showed in the Podcasts nor the iTunes U.
In fact I also subscribed to Stanford's lectures and despite actually managing to DL them there is still no subscription in iTunes U, just the Intro to Computer Science belatedly.

I'd like to attach the screen grab of the out of order and randomly DLed selection of Harvard's course, but the forum won't let me attach it even though it is only 456k. Correction, close post and retry and now it lets me. NB how intermittent the DLs are and in no particular order.

HT201210 Screen is red and blurry any suggestions

My ipad screen is red and blurry. Not yet a year old. Any suggestions on what might b wrong or how to fix the problem?

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options
