My i phone 4 screen suddenly starts showing funny and distorted images then goes blank. how do i get the screen back to normal.?

my i phone screen starts blinking and showing funny and distorted images before going blank. now it's blank,how do i get it back to normal.?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.

    Mail window may be in the Full Screen mode.
    Move the mouse pointer to the top right corner of the Mail window and hold it there.
    Menu bar should drop down and click the blue double arrow icon.

  • When you expand to show local and remote sites, in DW CS6 how do I get the local to be on the left?

    When you expand to show local and remote sites, in the previous verions of DW, the files type (local or remote) selected when not seeing both, automatically came up on the left.  I liked local when I am editing and when I am ready to upload I expand to see both local in remote.  Before, the one you had selected, in my case local, was always displayed on the left.  Now in CS6 when I have local selected before I expand, the local is on the right and remote on the left. For me that is not correct.  I find that having local on the left works best for me like reading, left to right, I want the local on the LEFT so I can put the updated from left to the remote on the right. 
    -->In DW CS6 how do I get the local to be on the left?

    Thank you so much!  That did it! 

  • TS4471 Aperture APP started installing after I purchased it then stopped. How do I get the installation to complete?

    My Aperture APP stopped installing. How do I get it to complete the installation?

    Frank,
    I found the Aperture APP icon in the appliction folder. When I click on it, an icon opens on the bar at the bottom of the screen and the application opens and is workable. However, when I finish working with my photo editing, and close the application, the bar icon desapears and I need to to back to the application folder to click the icon there to open the application again.
    I know you suggested I delete the app from the folder, reboot, and reinstall. But I'm embarassed to say that I don't know how to proceed with the deletion.
    Can you help?
    Thanks again,
    Zappata

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

  • The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    The message icon is not showing in the drop screen of my photos where it says do you want to email, message, assign, use as waller paper etc. it used to show before and now it's not there how can I get it back?

    Did this back along to mine. Plug it into itunes on your pc (or Mac) and click on the ipod icon on the left hand side. When the device options come up on the main screen, click on restore. Follow the steps and it should restore to factory settings. If you had icloud activated on the ipod all previous purchases should be in the cloud and ready to download onto the ipod afte rit has been restored to factory settings, otherwise you'll have to download them all again. Hope it helped.

  • How do I get the screen to refresh when drawing a line larger than the art board

    How do I get the screen to refresh properly when drawing a line larger than the art board when the screen scrolls? Everything turns white in CS6, CS5 and CS4.

    Existing art - not the new art.  The new art just gets a proxy shape - seen in my example as the blue rectangle.  The existing art is what gets smeared as you drag past the edge of the screen.  If it's anything other than an Ilustrator thing, it's a Mac thing. I've never known it to be any other way other than maybe in the past showing blank white instead of stuttered art on probably 10 different macs over the years.
    Take any art that you've ever created.  Zoom in so that your art is bigger than your screen (so that there's somewhere to scroll).  Rectangle tool (or move, scale, rotate(?) something, or draw a line) Start your rectangle anywhere, drag so that you are at the edge of the screen, causing it to scroll.  The existing art will get all effed up.  The rectangle you're drawing will draw as you expect it to - that's not the issue.

  • How can I get the screen to lock on my iPhone 4, so I don't press buttons while talking?

    I just upgraded to the iPhone 4.  When I am talking on the phone, the screen doesn't lock, so I am constantly pressing buttons or hanging up on the person I'm talking to.  How can I get the screen to lock while I'm talking?  It's driving me NUTS.

    The otterbox is one of the culprits. Take the phone out of the case and see if it still happens. If so it is not the case. If the problem goes away, then you may need to make the hole slightly larger. My family has three iPhone 4's in otterboxes and none have this problem. Other users on this forum have reported success with the above methods.

  • Accidentally deleted an App Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

    accidently deleted an app Store app.  how can I get the icon back on my home screen?  in the app store it comes up 'open' instead of install.

    What happens if you tap on open?
    Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
    If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
    Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

  • My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    (IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
    Or do what hannahsage said above.

  • Face hits buttons while I am on a call. How do I get the screen off when I am talking? Thanks

    Face hits buttons while I am on a call. How do I get the screen off when I am talking? Obviously new to iPhone!
    Thanks

    The iPhone has a proximity sensor that will turn the screen off if you hold the phone up to your ear. Don't hold it inches away hold it up close and the screen will go dark, hold it away from your ear and the screen will come alive.

         Hi Frank.
         I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
         However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
         Hope this is of help. Many thanks.
