  • Ipod screen goes bright, pale blue, displays vertical bars after update.

    I got the notification to update to iTunes 7, did so. Ooh, snazzy interface.
    I then got the notification to update my iPod's firmware, did so.
    My screen is corrupted. It's extremely bright, everything is displayed in pale blue, and there are vertical stripes all the way across the screen. It's like static, almost.
    I can't even think if a proper way to google this, I just get pages and pages worth of White Screen of Death, and this clearly isn't a white screen. For all the world, it looks like a broken screen.... a screen that was NOT broken before the firmware was updated.
    I've tried reinstalling, I've tried resetting, I've tried rebooting. I've tried reverting to factory defaults. Nothing works.

    One other thing that's not in the change log (but the regulars here know it from experience): If you're upgrading from an earlier 2.x firmware, you won't lose your music. Only those upgrading from .x (non-PlaysForSure) firmwares will lose their music.

  • Dark ipod screen seeks bright light

    My daughter "washed" our ipod touch and the screen went dark. I dried it out and it works but the screen view is very dark. Is there a solution to bring back the light?

    Have you throughly dried it by:

    If yes then try the standared fixes Reset

    If you still have the problem then it is due to the water.

  • Screen Changes Brightness

    When I'm using my new MacBook Pro, the screen sometimes gets dimmer. I could be using Safari or any other program, and the screen just dims. This only seems to happen when I'm using OS X. I'm using Vista and Bootcamp too.
    Any ideas?

    Also, your screen may dim if you leave the system idle for a time to save power. This can be controlled by System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Options -> "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep" setting.
    A small note. This option doesn't work reliably and the display tends to dim regardless of the setting of this preference. One way it can be managed is to extend the time until the display sleeps in the Energy Saver control panel - the dimming occurs at half the time set for the display to sleep.

  • My iPod screen has randomly stopped working?

    So a while so my iPod screen has randomly striped working. I've tried everything. Restoring didn't help one bit and I don't have enough money to go in and get it looked at and get it fixed. I have talked to an apple professional and he was telling me it was a hardware issue. I was hoping I could do something on my open to fix it. I would really love if someone can help me out on this. :)

    Sure sounds like a hardware problem to me. Not really anything you can do since I suspect it is a problem with the logic board, the most expensive part of the iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $19 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    - 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.

  • Why does my Ipad start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own frequently?

    Why does my Ipad suddenly start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own?  It's like it spazzes out rather frequently for no apparent reson.

    It's hard to say why, but try rebooting the device 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. See if this stops it.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

  • Screen turns bright yellow & green curser turns into a large yellow square.

    When I play any type of 3d game, such as world of warcraft my screen turns bright yellow and green. The mouse cursor turns into a large yellow square. Then it will make squiggly patterns across the screen in these colors, Almost like a argyle pattern. The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen. Iam thinking it might be a video card error, but iam not sure. Anyone experience this before?

    Are you running your monitor at its native resolution? If changing the resolution of the game solves the problem as I take it from your sentence quoted here:
    "The only way to fix this is force quit the program (or if I can see the game still) I have to make it non-full screen"
    Then you probably should try changing the resolution of the screen before playing the game. Most games will do this automatically but if the ones you are playing do not then you may need to search for updates to them. Very few games are designed to run in wide screen mode, but generally in more traditional resolutions such as 640 x 480 or some other resolution with the same relationship between width and height.
    This is my best guess anyway. Hope you get the problem solved.

  • My screen reduces brightness while using apple tv, any suggestions?

    My screen reduces brightness while using my apple tv - any suggestions?

    Does it just look darker all the time or does the brightness change over time?
    If it just looks darker, check Settings>Video and if set to RGB Low try RGB High or YCrCb.
    I was watching a digital copy of final Harry Potter last night that came bundled with the Blu Ray - could not believe how dark the film was - I used to routinely use RGB Low on AppleTV1, and such settings options have only just appeared on AppleTV2.  I could see hardly any shadow detail on RGB Low, much improved on RGB High.
