My screen is dark, can barely see it

My iphone screen is very dark, I can hardly see the icons on it.

I would suggest Settings/Brightness but that setting does not get all that dark even when it is all the way to the left.  Can't hurt to look, though.

    Screen is dark and can hardly see.Help?

    If not successful then try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - 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 defaults.
    If still the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely the backlight or its driver circuits and service is necessary.

    Hey BlueEyedDude,
    Thanks for the question. I’m sorry to hear about your iPod nano! If you believe you have isolated the issue completely to hardware, you can learn more about servicing your device at the following link:
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    If you’d like to attempt some more troubleshooting tips, see this link:
    iPod nano - 4th and 5th generation - Apple Support
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/4th_5th_generation/
    If you do decide to service your device, you’ll want to make sure all of the music and information is backed up. If you regularly sync your device with a computer, this music should be on the computer. If not, you can learn about what purchases you can transfer from the iPod to a computer:

  • When a document is a scanned PDF and converted to word some of the words and paragraphs are randomly a shade lighter when printed.  You can (barely) see it on the screen but it is different.  All font and design are the same.  Any suggestions?

    The lighter shading has been a problem when printing the documents.  You can barely see it but it is there????

    Hi Notary,
    I saw something similar with my 4 TB Promise SmartStor NAS after I upgraded to Lion. Only, I had ALL of my iTunes library on the NAS and one day, about a week after the upgrade I finally tried to play music with iTunes, but it kept throwing up an error just like the one you're seeing. I searched around for a while and finally found some steps that fixed the problem.
    I found this solution at another site (can't remember which) that gave credit to this site:
    http://www.alexanderwilde.com/2011/04/os-x-lion-connection-error-with-afp-and-wo rkaround/
    Here are the directions I cut-n-pasted into my little notes file:
    1) Launch the Terminal app
    2) Run this command:
    sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
    3) Run this command:
    defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
    4) Restart your computer
    5) From Finder, select an AFP server, or use “Connect To…”
         This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file
    6) Launch the Terminal app again
    7) Run this command (all on one line, make sure double-quotes are simply double-quotes from your keyboard, not pasted from the web as up and down quote marks) (yes, some of the spelling looks weird):
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
    8) Run this command:
    sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
    9) Restart your computer
    To disable this hack, run this command (all on one line, make sure double-quotes are simply double-quotes from your keyboard, not pasted from the web as up and down quote marks):
    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array-add "DHCAST128"
    I hope that helps. If not, sorry for the ludicrous-long reply.

    A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
    Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
    But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
    I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
    How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
    Thank you in advance,
    SiHero

    If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
    If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
    If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
    (Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

  • My ipad 1st gen has loads of coloured lines going across the screen so I can't see any ideas ?

    My ipad first gen has loads of coloured lines going across the screen so I can't see any ideas ??

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    If that didn't fix things, do a restore:

    If that still didn't fix the issue, then there is probably a hardware problem.

  • Picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!! Suckss!!

    picture can not be resized to fit the screen, so i can only see half of my face when use it as wallpaper!!  How can I change it？？

    There's a bug with the wallpaper. One thing that helps a bit, go to the photos app, find your pic, 'send' it to be wallpaper. You have a bit more control although not all the function you're used to.
    No idea when or if Apple will fix it.

  • Firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

    firefox covers the whole screen so I can not see other programs opened at the bottom of screen

    It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.
    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • HT2513 I can barely see the day and time numbers in ical - any suggestions?

    I can barely see the day and time numbers in ical. I have tried adjusting contrast but doesn't help. Any suggestions?

    Could be corrupt plist try deleting com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    found here  by using Finder>Go>Go to Folder (command shift G):
    copy and paste:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    delete this plist.
    now open terminal (Applications/Utilities/terminal.app) and paste the command:
    killall SystemUIServer
    and return. This command will kill the process and MacOS X will automatically rebuild the menu bar, clearing out old cache. Quit Terminal.
    Restart if neccessary.

  • The display was working just fine and now it seems it darkened. I can barely see what is displayed in the screen and can't understand what's going on.

    I can't understand why all of a sudden the display on my computer got all darkened, and I have to tilt the computer to barely see what I'm writing or the icons. I tried the brightening the screen but it didn't work so I'm concerned on what's going on.... 

  • Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

    Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

    Bad luck. Take ti back.
