Multi-touch and Multi-screen

I just saw the presentations of the PDC2008 (via the net since I couldn't make it to the PDC).
It's nice to see that we can add multi-touch functionality to a native, unmanaged application, just handling WM_TOUCH, similar to WM_MOUSE events at this moment.
However, with more and more people using multiple screens attached to their PC (especially our development department, were multiple screens are handy for debugging), how are the multiple screens going to work in combination with multi-touch.
I cannot drag my finger fluently from 1 screen to another without lifting my finger, so how is this going to work?
Anyone an idea?
Patje

Hi Patje.
From the OS perspective, while we are not prioritizing multi-touch capability across multiple monitors, there are some scenarios that should work just fine right now:
One multi-touch monitor and one regular monitorconfigured together.
Two multi-touch monitors (but not with simultaneous input)
Unfortunately, at this time you would need to use your mouse to drag from one monitor across to another. If you had two multi-touch monitors you could drag an object so that it straddles both monitors and then pick it up again on the other monitor. Unfortunately, there's just no way to bridge that physical space between the monitors in a fluid fashion at this time.
Thanks so much for the question. It's interesting to think about this.
Sincerely,
Eliot - MSFT

The other day I dropped my ipod touch and the screen cracked and my warranty is up how do I get it fixed. Do I buy a screen and bring it to Apple to repair od do I have to repair it. Please help me

Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". Some places also will sell parts and instructions for doing the repair yourself, but the connectors and parts are delicate and it's easy to cause further damage, so attempt this only if you are confident in your skills.

I have the 2nd generation ipod touch and my screen went black and wont do anything what could be wrong?

Have you try to:
> Charge your iPod?
> Plug it to your computer?
> Hold the Power button to turn on?
If so and none work, you may need to replace your battery.
iPod Owners
Your one-year warranty includes replacement coverage for a defective battery. You can extend your coverage to two years from the date of your iPod purchase with the AppleCare Protection Pan for iPod. During the plan’s coverage period, Apple will replace the battery if it drops below 50% of its original capacity. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers a battery replacement for $49 (iPod shuffle), $59 (iPod nano and classic), $79 (iPod touch) plus $6.95 shipping, subject to local tax. Apple disposes of your battery in an environmentally friendly manner.

NOTE: If you do get the battery replaced yourself, becareful when removing the screen because there is a special cable connecting to the iPod itself and the screen and its very fragile. If that break, then you also need to replace the screen as well.

My daughter tried to open a game on her Ipod touch and the screen went white and I can't get it to do ANYTHING...I've tried holding the sleep/wake button and it does NOTHING, still only a white screen.

My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???

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 that doesn't work, try a Restore:
From iTunes, select the iPad 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.
There's more that you can do. Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
By the way, I always allow "push." That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it. However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing.

I dropped my iPod touch and the screen cracked. Can I get it repaired?

Today I dropped my iPod. Then realized the screen cracked. So. Is there any way to get it repaired or back? my mom didn't pay the insurance and she bought my iPod touch (the new one with both cameras) at best buy. But can apple store
Still fix it if my iPod touch is bought from best buy and no insurance? I'm really upset. I need help. :(

You can try taking it back to best buy and see what they'll do. The apple store policy is that accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty, and dropping it counts as accidental damage.

Phantom Touches and other screen control issues

My phone has phantom touches (intermittently screen is taken over, phone seems possessed), google play button only works in landscape, not portrait and Knock On stopped working. I tried safe mode and all issues still existed.

I'm sorry your phone is not working properly mh119ghr. Have you had a software update lately? Have you had any issues with any of your applications? Any damage to your device?

u there

Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next connect it to your computer and try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.

HT1174 I have a 32 GB IPOD touch and the screen will not load.

How do I make the screen appear on my IPOD touch?

I tried to restore my ipod touch and the screen turned white....it wont turn off either...what can i do to fix it??

It isnt working...it is a 4th generation and all it has is ablank screen..plz help!!!!

Hi hellomynameisbrooke,
Try rebooting the iPod by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.
If that doesn't work, connect it to your computer and try restoring it via iTunes.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

I have an Ipod touch and the screen stop rotating even after double tapping home and sliding left to right

I have restart, restored, and it still didn't fix the problem

If you are still having this problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod (you did not say what restore you did) that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
