My iphone screen isn't cracked but its white and has lines through it
i dropped my iphone on tile when i picked it up it had no cracks or any external damage but when i went to unlock my phone it was a light faded white with lines going through the screen. it looks as though it is almost faded. When i went to snapshot a friend a picture of how my screen looked they said it was normal so too see for myself i uploaded it onto twitter and it looked as though nothing was wrong with it therefore it doesnt affect how other people see my screen when i send them a picture but only how i see it. Any one have any idea what can be wrong with it?!?! im going to apple tomorrow also any idea if i need to pay how much it might cost just so i know ahead of time...
Hi asalerno!
I have an article for you that can help give you some steps to troubleshoot that issue. The article is about all iPhone hardware troubleshooting, and can be found here:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically, you will want to pay close attention to this section:
Display shows a white screen
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The computer usb port will not charge it. Plug it into an outlet with the charger that came with it for a few hours & try again. -
My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!
Hello everyone,
I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!

Someone tell me what to do
Find my iPhone isn't helping
My iPod battery is dead and its offline. And it's with a lock and its in lost mode
Please help me I'm freaking out!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hi Juan,
Sorry for your troubles. If you did not have iCloud set up and Find My iPhone turned on, then you cannot track the phone.
Report it to the police
Change your AppleID password
Contact your carrier to see if they can block it
That's about all you can do....
Sorry,

I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?
Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

PLEASE HELP
my iphone 4 is out of warranty and its screen has cracked but its completely working WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET IT FIX ?$99 is the carrier's fully subsidized or discounted price which requires signing a new two year contract with the carrier. Apple's out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price which pays for an exchange at a significantly reduced price off the full retail sales price has no effect on the existing contract nor requires signing a new contract with the carrier.

My iphone 4s fell from the bed and the front screen glass got cracked but the touch screen is working fine, so can i replace just that screen glass?? If not what am i to do ? And how much it might cost me for that repairing??
I don't know. You'll have to ask.
FYI, if the phone was not originally sold in India, it can not be serviced in India. You will have to take it back to the country where it originated. -
What should i do with my ipad because it fell down and the screen cracked but its still functioning

Up to you whether you want to get it serviced. If you don't, I'd suggest putting on a screen protector to help hold the screen together and try to prevent further damage. It's likely that it will eventually fail at some point, but you could get lucky and have it continue to work for quite some time.
If you decide you want to get it serviced, Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair". You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.

If covered by warranty. See:

Then if the iPod is within warranty, not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost. You can do it at an Apple store

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Ever since i plugged my iphone into the computer, all of my music has been messed up. The songs don't have the right album cover i guess they all just got mixed up somehow. i dont know but its annoying and im not sure how to fix it.
If not this:

Has any one got Titan Quest to work with Bootcamp?
I'm trying to get Titan Quest to work with Bootcamp on my MacBook and even though the min. requirements ask for 64MB it doesn't work. Something about "can't initialize graphics engine." If anybody has got it to work, I'd appreciate the info.
