My IPad has a dead strip on the touch screen.

About three inches from the home button is a strip about half an inch tall, that runs all the way across the screen. It comes and goes, but is there more often than not. Some times it clicks anything in the strip. Making web browsing and most games very frustrating. Anyone else had this problem? Is it hardware or software?

Even hermits love there iPads! If you are not use to computers and the like ,maybe take a trip the the Apple store 3 hours away and do some of the free classes the run. I am sure you will learn heaps and find it very interesting.

Has anyone had issues with the touch screen acting very weird since updating to ios7?

Since I updated my 4S to iOS 7, the touch screen has great latencies and I can press something in one part of the screen and it activates something in another. The problem is even worse if the phone is plugged into power.
Is there some way to go back to iOS 6? This makes my phone almost useless.

Apple does not support iOS downgrades.
Have you tried a reset?
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
You can also try a settings reset.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose any data but it will reset the settings in your Settings app.

My iPad has a dark line on the white screen ?.

Ever Since I watched a Netflix movie my screen has a dark strip on it.

What part of the screen & how wide/long?
Have you turned the iPad Off & then back On?

'Dead Strip' Part of Touch SCreen is Unresponsive

I just went out and bought a new 16GB 3G iPhone today, came home, uploaded my music and apps, and I thought everything went well. However, it appears my new iPhone is suffering from the 'dead strip' issue that many iPhones have seem to gotten. For those of you unaware of this issue, there is a small part of my screen that is unresponsive to touch. For me, this part of the screen affects the 1,2,3 buttons on the phone dial. Anything in this part of the screen will not respond. I've tried updating firmwares, multiple restores, and a few resets. Nothing will work. I knew that some iPhones would develop this issue over time, but never knew they came right out of the box defective!
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Having to take this back top the store is going to be a good chunk of time that I can't spare anytime soon.

Unless you put the phone in an ill fitting case or are using a defective screen protector, you have a defective phone and the only solution is to get it replaced. This is a hardware problem - unfortunately nothing you can do to fix it.
BTW, this isn't something that occurs with "many iPhones", or something that "develops over time" with the iPhone 3G, unless the screen is damaged.

My touch screen isn't working so I can't use my iPad.any ideas how to get the touch screen working again?

My son has done something to his ipad2 and now his touch screen does not work so he can't get from the lock screen as the screen isn't responding to touch. Any idea I can't even switch it off to restart.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

My new iPad has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Can I get it replaced?

I've heard that there is a minimum number of dead pixels before apple will replace it. Very frustrating because otherwise the screen is perfect, and it's one of those things you can't stop looking at. What can I do? I don't live near an apple store so I fear that shipping it away is the only option.
Any help is appreciated!

Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

Why does my iPad 1 not let me use the touch screen capabilities when it is in horizontal position, all is fine in vertical position

my ipad os 5.1.1 first ipad ever 64 gb will not let me use any function when turned horizontally it works fine when in vertical position any suggestions?

These are the instructions for that specific code.
Error 40265xxxx: Errors of the 40265xxxx range generally occur during the restore-from-a-backup phase, after iOS has been installed on the device. Restoring the device and setting up as new can resolve the issue. Before restoring as new, take steps to preserve the previous backups created by iTunes, such as copying the contents of the Backup directory onto the desktop. See iPhone and iPod touch: About backups to learn where backups are stored for your computer's operating system and additional precautionary notes regarding setting up as new. The backups created by iTunes store data such as your SMS, Favorites, Bookmarks, and other app data.

I think you are going to have to restore as new. Deleting that MobileSync backup folder may have caused the problem. When you delete the backup from iTunes like I was asking about, you are only deleting one particular backup. If you have multiple iDevices - all of the backups would be in that one folder - I think that's how it works.
Read the article - even though the heart and soul of it has been pasted into this link already.

Dead zone on iPhone touch screen?

My iPhone 5 suddenly has a dead column on the touch screen where it won't respond at all. It started suddenly in the middle of texting. I've had this phone for almost a year and never had a problem. Any advice? I tried turning it off and back on, etc.

Well it was clearly a dead column in the display...I took it to the Apple store and they installed a new display module while I shopped. Came back 1/2 our later and it was as good as new! And it was under warranty so I paid nothing.

Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

Regza LCD HDTV 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side

Hi, my 2008 REGZA LCD 52XF550U has wide black stripes on the right side. I think the problem started within 24 months from my purchase. And the stripes are getting wider.
I have tried to reset the setup, power off and on, all to no avail. See attached picture.
If someone can shed light on this problem and its (preferably permanent) fix and approx. cost, it will be greatly appreciated. I could simply chug this Toshiba LCD and buy another non-Toshiba HDTV, but I think that would be wasteful if it can be fixed.
Regards,

My ipad has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. The settings have not been changed. Why is this?

My ipad has suddenly stopped connecting to the intenet via my home wifi system. The settings have notbeen changed. why is this?

The first thing to try is to power down your modem and router for about 30 seconds, then repowering by plugging them back in.
Also, if that doesn't work, on your iPad you can try going into settings/safari/clear history/clear data and cookies.

My iPad has deleted 700 photos off the photo stream on that device. The pictures are still on my Mac iPhoto in the photo stream. How do I get them to reappear on the iPad?

When did this deletion happen? Which version of iOS 8 do you have on your iPad? Depending on your settings you may not see My Photo Stream on the iPad any longer. With iOS 8 "My Photo Stream" will only show on the iPad, if you did not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta).
