My iPhone 4 screen is very very dim. Features work but I can't see the screen well enough for it to be useful.

My iPhone 4 has a very dim screen. I can barely see the icons and the phone responds to touch. The phone is pretty useless other that as a phone to receive calls.

Go into Settings >Brightness and turn 'Auto-Brightness' Off, then move the Slider all the way to the right to give you maximum Brightness. Does this make a difference?

My iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen.

my iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen. What is going on?

Possibly backlight died, if you look at it closely in bright light can you see a "Shadow" of the screen image?
First, back up your phone

Then, restore the OS from scratch

If that doesn't work, you'll need to have the phone serviced

Thank you. I told it to the apple store in Southampton and they were fab. I was lucky and there was no water damage, the water indicators didn't change colour. It was just bad luck my screen failed at the same time as it got wet!! Screen changed and all is well. Thank you Genuis Tom and West Quay!!

My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything

My iphone is gray or black it is functioning but you can not see the screen so I can not call or text or anything, I have a child that is very ill and I have to have access to a phone at all times can someone help me? It happened one other time when I plugged it in to my to listen to music. I know it is working it said something on voice control. I tried the press the circle button and the top button but the screen only turned white?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

HT201317 I created a folder in my photostream on my iphone but I can not see the folder on my iPad 1. My wife does see the folder on her iPad 3. Is there anything I can do for my older iPad?

If you created an album containing some of your photo stream photos, this will not be shared using photo stream. If you want to share a subset of your photos, create a shared photo stream and share it with your wife, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99.

When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time. Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there?

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. Any idea what is wrong?

My buttons and screen work, but I can't activate the screen to see what I'm doing. This is after water damage. Any idea what is wrong? I'm not sure what to fix..
I know the screen works because when it first turned on I saw the apple logo and then the screen. If I hold the home and power button, I see the apple logo when it resets. Then it goes blank again.
I can hear when I get a call and pick up, and I can stop the sound and/or decline the call with the power button and side buttons. It also still vibrates. I'm confused - if the screen works, the buttons work, it vibrates, makes sound, and the touchscreen feature also works... what is wrong for me to fix? Why can't I see anything?!
I appreciate any help anybody has to offer!!!

I apologize for the confusion. This was literally the only option on Apple's "Contact Us" section that I was able to access. I assumed that Apple's clear intent to have me go here instead of speaking with someone in live time, and the fact this is on the Apple website, meant I could get some advice... Both over the phone and online they require information I need to see my screen to provide so those are not options. I tried to bypass this when calling through Skype. Some lady who didn't know what was going on, who I waited a good while to speak with, put me on hold; I gave up after 30minutes of waiting to speak to somebody again.
I've stumbled upon a few tricks to help me get through this problem, but I'm at a loss. I need this phone to work until late December. I need more tricks. So yes, it's worth understanding. Knowing what is going on will let me Google it and work with it, if nobody here is willing to help...
And yes, it IS a glitchy phone. It has been a glitchy phone for a long time. Long before this. But completely unrelated issues. I was assuming this wasn't just a glitch but something maybe somebody could help me understand.

Update the iPhone 4s to iOS 7.1.1 and then Restore from your iCloud Backup.

My ipod classic works, but I can't see anything on my screen

My ipod classic works, but I can't see anything on my screen. I tried doing a hard reset and restore to factory setting, but obviously I can't see if anything worked since my screen is not working.

Hi Bababooey2uall,
It seems the display of your iPod Classic isn't working properly. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod Classic needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

I downloaded the app for Pages to my iPhone 4s but I can't see the document on my MacBook Pro via iCloud

I thought iCloud would sync documents done on Pages on the iPhone 4s to my laptop like it does with iPhoto, but I can't find the documents on my laptop or vice versa. Help!!!

make sure your documents setting on your iPhone is truned on for the iCloud. Go to settings, > iCloud > switch documents & data is on.

My Computer is on BUT I can not see the screen to dark?

My computer is on and I can the my front screen. BUT it is too dark , so I can't see what to do. I was having trouble and I had to reset the PRAM. Is this why I can not see the screen. And how do I fix it?

I believe the keys on an imac are F11 and F12, for dark / bright respectively.
Try that, I think it'll work.
If not, then try out all the "F" keys, one of them will work.

When I sync my iphone, a book title showsup in itunes; when I disconnect, I can't see the book on my phone.

The last time I synched my phone, a book title showed up under the iphone icon in "books"; when I disconnected, I couldn't find the book on my iphone. It doesn't live on my computer, so how can I access it? I tried searching for it on my iphone with no luck.
thanks all,
RSD

Why don't you just restore the to your pc from your most recent backup? You'll get the warning about erasing the media on the phone, but since you'll have all of your media and apps restored from backup, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

My phone turn on but, i can hardly see the icons. The screen is dark. What happened

I cannot see the i-cons on my phone. The screen is dark. The phone does not light up. Thank you.

Some people have said that restoring has helped. Others had to go to the Apple Store. What you can try to do is hold the home + sleep button until it reboots.
