Having trouble with my screen becoming larger than the phone supports. Can this be fixed easily?

Having trouble with my screen becoming larger than my phone supports. Can this be corrected without taking the phone to an Apple store?

The sign on screen (where the current time and the slide to unlock) and if I can get it to open, the next screen that show all the apps. Have been unable to get any further that that second screen. The screen contents appear to be about twice the size they should be. I have been able to "reset" the phone by turning it off, but the problem happening several times a day and now occasioanally the reset does not work. This just started happening about 3 days ago and is increasing in frequency. I have had this phone about 14 months.

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
So here's what I done so far:
tried resetting PRAM - No success
Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
Tried booting from safe mode - no success
Tried the command line boot - no success.
Please someone help!

Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer. I did a cmnd R but worried it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS. Is there a risk at cmnd R will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?

I'm getting the grey screen during start up and can't boot the computer - MacBook Pro with lion.
I did a command r after doing some research but got nervous that it would automatically wipe my hard drive and reinstall OS.
I was nervous because it asked me for language for software use before any options were presented (such as repair via disk utility). It looked similar to an OS install.So I powered off....Is there a risk at command r will result in wiped HD without me actively making that choice?

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is
three times faster than wireless.

Screen starting to fade in the corner

My macbook is 4 years old and the screen was replaced at the genius bar in Glasgow a year later in response to a problem that was unrelated to the screen. The problem was an overactive fan which makes the bottom of the screen go dark sometimes. There was nothing wrong with the actual screen and now the top left corner has started to fade, most noticably when watching films.
Is this normal or was my screen replaced with one with a shorter lifetime?
It's a MacBook3,1 bought in November 2007.
As for the fan, it's still whurring like a hair dryer a lot of the time, I've managed to isolate and remove certain processes but it still goes off when I watch video on youtube, or use websites that require adobe flash to be installed, there's not a lot I can do about that. Maybe if I installed windows on it it might stop this, who knows...
The display also goes blank when I tilt the screen at a certain angle, so I tend not to use the machine as a portable device anymore if I can help it in case moving the screen further exacerbates the problems or causes a total failure in video output altogther, because I can't afford to have it fixed.

WELL IT FINALLY HAPPENED MY SCREEN HAS GONE ON THE BLINK. 1250 EURO FOR THIS, AND NOW I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY ANOTHER WAD OF CASH TO GET IT FIXED WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPLE I WONT BE BUYING ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN YOU CLEARLY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR CUSTMERS
I'M TYPING THIS WEARING A TORCH ON MY HEAD TO LIGHT THE SCREEN BUT IT'S NOT VERY WORKABLE, IT SORT OF FLICKERS WHEN I ADJUST IT BUT I JUST CAN'T GET IT TO STAY LIT
WHAT IS THERE A LOOSE CABLE INSIDE IF I OPENED ITCOULD I FIX IT QUITE EASILY?
I GUESS PROBABLY NOT, DEISNGING THEM LIKE WOULD BE TOO EASY AND THEN THEY COULDN'T CHARGE US MORE MONEY TO GET PROBLEMS LIKE THIS FIXED.
MACBOOKS ARE A JOKE I TOTALLY REGRET BUYING ONE NOW.

I'm trying to record only part of my screen using my Quicktime 10.0, but once I press record in the "Screen recording" feature it automatically starts recording and doesn't give me the option to choose what part of the screen to capture. What gives?

I'm trying to record only part of my screen using my Quicktime 10.0, but once I press record in the "Screen recording" feature it automatically starts recording and doesn't give me the option to choose what part of the screen to capture. What gives?

QuickTime version 10 can only record the entire screen.
10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 offer part of the screen recording.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

970 GAMING black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime

I have 970 GAMING w/ FX8320, it shows black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime to enter default.
I have updated it to the up to date M11 bios. Once it boot up, it functions OK no matter whether you reboot or reset it. But after turned off a few hours (cooled down), it shows on black screen again on boot, all LED lights up OK, but I can hear the fan like keep rebooting, any idea?
PSU seasonic 430W, GPU HD7750.

In what DIMM slots did you insert your memory? I just got and at this moment building a new computer with a 970.
A horrible experience I had with my last build reminded me of it. My board was am MSI A88XM-E45. DIMM1 is blue, DIMM2 is black, DIMM3 is blue, & DIMM4 is black. When using two sticks of RAM, it says to install one on DIMM1 & the other in DIMM3 (Makes sense... After all, it's color colored that way).
Well it would not boot. I reseated every component and for HOURS tried almost everything. Finally I decided to place my two sticks of RAM in the first two DIMMS and viola!
I think I will begin this build the same way.

Cannot switch to Start Screen by Left-click of Start-Memu

I've installed W10 TP Build 9926 onto W7 Ultimate 64-bit.
It works almost fine, except inability of Left clicking on Start-Menu. The Left-click has no effect, or my screen does't change to Start screen.
The Right-click works, i.e. context menu appears.
<brief environment> dual monitors, latest display driver by Nvidia.... Are there any further information needed?
Thank you.

Thank you.
It is possible an Windows Update is needed, namely KB3036140.
Since you cannot use Start Menu, lease follow this instruction given by Insider Hub......
Checking for updates may fix this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
Select the Internet Explorer icon.
Type http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
Enter.
If you are prompted to run a control, click
Yes.
This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
Hold down the Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
OR
Hold down the Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
shutdown –r to restart
Good luck.
