  • The crystal screen of my ipad mini broke after I accidentally droped it.  Does anyone know if it can be fixed directly with Apple?  How much will it cost to get it fixed/replaced?

    "Abuse" includes dropping it. If it's not a manufacturing fault: These prices are roughly the same in other coutries to the US.
    Out-of-Warranty Service     If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

    iPad 3rd, 4th generation

  • The screen on my iphone 4 went black and began to vibrate for half hour before it died completely. Anybody know if this can be fixed?

    The screen on my iphone 4 went black and began to vibrate for half hour before it died completely. Anybody know if this can be fixed?

    Ok? Why not? It is an original iphone 4 that I bought in a store .....No jailbreak.... I have had it for almost 2 years without problems and was on the facebook app when it happened .. I have over 1200 pictures that I want to keep .... 6 months since the lastsynchronization, unfortunately

  • I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

    I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

    As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
    In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • My iphone 4s is charged and I can tell that its on but my screen remains black. Are there any tips that can help before taking it in to the apple store?

    I've already tried turning it on and off as well as pressing the sleep/wake and home button together to restart but nothing has happened :/
    This is also the second time its happened to my phone as well, the first time it miraculously turned on by itself after an hour

    Hi katherian!
    I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • I have an iMac G5, and the screen goes to sleep as it should, but the hard drive only does this manually.  How can I fix this?

    I just want my computer to go to sleep on it's own, as the hard drive will spin for days unless I manually select "sleep" from the menu.  The screen automatically does go to sleep at the preset 7 minute mark though, and ideas for a fix?

    Nevermind,  I found this answer, and to my total surprise, it worked!!  I opened activity monitor, and all kinds of junk was running, so I closed a lot of stuff out, and now, my iMac goes to sleep like a good little computer!  Here's the answer in case this question comes up in a search:
    Re: iMac doesn't want to sleep
    Nov 4, 2006 9:02 PM (in response to ParallelP)
    If you have any applications running that can keep your iMac from sleeping. You can check in user(you)/application/utilities/Activity monitor. Just open Activity Monitor and you can see what's running. Just my 2 cents but if you check "put hard disks to sleep" in energy saver and have your screen turn off after 15 minutes since you used it. IMO that's a better way to go since you can schedule all the background things to happen when you don't need you Mac. Such as software update, spotlight indexing, idisk syncing, ect. I hope this helps, good luck.

  • Okay, so my baby brother had put my iphone in microwave and now it turns on only on the charger, the screen will not work and the date and time has changed, is there any way it can be fixed or how much it would cost

    okay so my brother had put my phone in microwave , it now only turns on on charger, the date and time cahnged, but it will not let me use the screen, is there anyway this can be fixed ?or how much it would cost.

    I would very much doubt that. The radition level inside a microwave is termendous. I am totally flabbergasted that there is much of it is still that much working.

  • Pavilion 23xi left half of the screen seems stripy and darker

    thanks in advance!

    Hello kasparas,
    I have seen and read your post about your monitor showing a green color along the left side with stripes. I understand you have already tried updating your graphics driver and restarting your computer and checking your monitor settings.

    I will post the link below for you. I am posting the main troubleshooting link for all different types of monitor display issues as your description could be in a few of these guides.

  • So i dropped my mom's ipad and i dont know what to do... the sound and stuff works on it but the screen is black but it still has like a backlight i really need to know if this can be fixed PLEASE HELP!!!

    so i droped my mom's ipad on accedent while walking inside helping carry bags inside... and at fist no one really thought anything of it but we got inside and my stepdad went to check something on it and was like um... something wrong and i guess the fall put it into shock or something but we held down the 2 buttons and it light up but it was black and just with the back light on. And it still wont work so im not sure what to do... I know where the slide to turn it on is so i did that and it made the click noise to signal it was on and i pushed where an app would be and it went to it and made the music to the app... so it works but for some reason the screen is being all stupid... I really need to know if there is a way to fix the screen because if theres not im in a ton of trouble... please help!!!!

    I doubt there is you dropped it and broken the screen
    try holding the top button and the round button at bottom of screen
    hold both until maybe an Apple logo appears if nothing after 20 secs
    the iPad is toast
    It can be exchanged at an apple store for around $249 to $219 depending on model
    Apple do not do repairs
    I would own up now before it gets more complicated

  • Mac randomly crashes, screen turns green and white, and it works fine upon restart. What causes this and how can I fix it?

    My MacBook Pro 13 inch (I've had it for about a year and a half) has started crashing randomly. It happens about once a week and it will happen when I'm in the middle of either watching a video, typing a paper, playing a game, etc. The computer clicks loudly and the screen becomes a series of green and white lines. It works fine upon restart, but it's still annoying whenever it happens. What causes this? Is it fixable?

    The image suggests an issue with the graphics board.
    The issue may happen more when your machine is generating additional heat, as when you're watching or processing video, or gaming. I can't say for certain, of course, but certain things will reduce the chance of the problem recurring:
    1. Keep your machine as cool as possible. When there's additional heat, turn up the fan, or use an app like HD Fan Control to reduce the heat. Use your computer the way you see fit, but be conscious of heat.
    2. Back up on a regular basis. Logic board problems can lead to more serious issues down the line, so backing up is a good way of safeguarding your data.
    3. Look up "Logic Board Woes" on Google for a comprehensive discussion of the issue.

  • HT1766 I broke my screen and the phone is only a little over a month!  Is there an option that is less than getting a new phone?  We bought a replacement but it's too complicated.

    I broke the screen to my new iPhone 4s and we purchased a new screen online but it is too complicated to install.  Any solutions you can provide that won't be too expensive?

    Yes.
    You can get it replaced at the Apple Store Genius Bar for far less than the retail cost for replacement.
    So the user won't have to pay the retail cost for a replacement if they get it replaced?
    You mean they won't have to pay the price for a new phone to replace the broken phone with a refurbished phone thru Apple.

  • Billing Problem that can't seemed to be resolved by anyone

    So I started a family plan with Verizon about 2 weeks ago. We got a two iPhone 5s ($550) and a single iPhone6($650), price per the Verizon website. We got charged for the equivalent of 2 iPhone6 and 1 iPhone5, $100 overcharged. I called Verizon to get this problem resolved, they informed me that since I started my plan through a retailer, I need to go to a Verizon store to resolve my problem. I went to the Verizon store, they agreed my bill was incorrect, but told me they weren't able to change it because I started the plan through a retailer who wasn't a Verizon store. I call Verizon back, tell them what the Verizon brick and mortar store told me, and they told me they aren't able to correct it, and that I should contact the store directly.
    I call the store where I started the plan, the customer rep remembered me and I told him my problem, he said it must have been a mistake, and that he'd look into the problem for me. 3 days later, no call back, I call them. I get the store manager, who tells me that the billing was correct, that they charged me less for one and more for the other to balance the cost. WHAT?! Now I understand that retail stores can jack up the prices of the phones and the cost might not be the same as advertised on the Verizon website, but the sales rep admitted the mistake, and the way the manager explained the inconsistent bill simply makes no sense. The sales rep admitted he made a mistake, the manager wouldn't correct the bill. She offered me $100 store credit to offset the difference. Useless, I did the deal in LA, but live in San Diego.
    Seems like no one can/want to help me, a mistake was made but I'm paying for it.  

    This is entirely with the store you bought it from.  Go to the corporate office customer relations for that company.   I have to agree with Verizon here, there is not much they can do.
