My screen is really dim and I cant brighten it. Could the problem be my LCD

I got the phone off of Craigslist and the person said the phone was in great condition but the screen is so dim I can barely see the icons under a light and was wondering if maybe the LCD was broke or had water damage or something

Hey there,
I'm new here but I got a lot of info under my belt with apple products.
Have you tried adjusting the brightness? at the home screen tap settings then brightness. From there use the slide bar to adjust te screen brightness. It couldnt be possible to be damaged by being dim. If it were damaged it would have different colors or unresponsive. Hope this helps you my friend!

My ipod screen is very dim and i cant change it

ive tried to restore and it dosnt work. ive tired resetting it dosnt work also

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Screen brightness to dim and unable to adjust using slider and buttons

hey guys ive had my macbook air about a week now and one night the screen decided to turn really dim all of a sudden i assumed this was due to me shutting down however the next day wen i turned it on again the screen was just as dim and when i try to adjust the brightness setting via the slider in prefrences or the f1 and f2 buttons nothing is happening,
have any of you had the same problem if so how did you get it solved
cheers

you have to reopen the display adjustment in the System preferences, and Un-click the Automatically Adjusts Button. I kinda like this feature, but not all do, its an Apple thing, takes a bit of getting used to, saves the eye strain. I have noticed, as I am blind in my right eye, and tunnel vision in my left. that this is really good , and helps me a lot..
Play with the MBA , you'll figure it out..
Have fun

an oh! one more thing, you can change the default folder or create a new one to store all screenshots. Also you can change the file format. Look at the following links

Hi Kathy,
System Preferences > Displays > Brightness

TS3274 When using my IPad, the screen will go dim and I need to tap it restore it to its bright state. This same thing happens many, many times while I am using it.

When I am using my IPad, the screen will get dim and I need to tap the screen to get it to brighten up again. This happens repeatedly while I am using it. Is there something I can do to stop that from happening?

You don't necessarily need to set it to never...being set that way, you'll risk depleting the battery in case you forget to lock the screen.
Instead, use a value greater than your previous 2 minute setting...see which time setting would work for you. The settings are:
2 Minutes
5 Minutes
10 Minutes
15 Minutes
Never

When i use my TTY on my Iphone 4s the volume is really loud and i cant control it. How do i change this?

That is probably because you have one or more bookmarks with a long title.<br />
The width of a column in the Bookmarks menu list is in current Firefox versions automatically adjusted to fit the bookmark with the longest name.<br />
You can check the names of the bookmarks and make the longer ones shorter.<br />

My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!

My iphone 4 is not working and I cant reset it from the computer either because it wont connect to it I need help!!!
1. I tried connecting it to itunes for a system reset and it didnt work.
2. The phone wont even turn on!!!

If the phone wont turn on it sounds like it needs to be charged. Plug it into a charger and wait about 15 minutes and try turning it on while still charging. Have you tried holding in your home button with the on/off button held in? Hold them both together until the apple logo comes up and then release them. The screen will blink off an on while it is resetting. I still think this is a battery issue. Good luck~

HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

My IPhone shut off by itself and I can't turn it back on. My lock screen button is broken and I tried plugging it into the wall but nothing happened. Can you guys please help me.

IIf the battery was completely drained it might take some time before the phone will respond. Wait at least 30 minutes with the phone connected to the charger. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. If the phone starts up let it continue to charge until it's 100%.
if the broken button will not let you do the reset Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Bought a new iphone and i cant activate it unless the previous owner deletes the account from their icloud but i lost contact with the previous owner how can i fix this?

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

Hi friends, I'm having troubles with my Ipad 2. I was working with it and suddenly the screen distorted. Now it is not possible to get it back to work properly. In fact, the screen is now black and nothing I have done makes the Ipad works again. Thanks
