Nano 3rdG Screen Fading Issues

My Ipod was working fine until this very morning. I had it charged all night and I noticed when I woke up that the screen was slowly fading white. At times, I can read it slightly, but most of all it a pain just trying to read it. It fades in and out to a white screen. Does someone know what is wrong with this? It's fairly new. I'm wondering if the screen just isn't built to last with this.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • IPod Nano LCD screen cracking/scratching

    i am a possible, going to be nano buyer and i was wondering if anyone who is a owner has had problems with the screen cracking and/or scratching. Also this is a question for owners with the problem and APPLE if the screen gets cracked or overally scratched withing warranty will apple replace it with a new one? also for people in singapore is there anywhere that i can get a 4GB nano, as most places have said they dont have them. thank you

    The screen scratching issue is really going to depend on just how badly you treat the device. I don't know how the screens are getting so badly scratched, and in normal use I can't see anything other than normal wear and tear. My 3G iPod is the same - a few scuffs and scratches, but nothing to stop it working.
    If on the other hand you place the nano into your pocket without a protective case, keep change and car keys in the same pocket, then yes, it WILL get scratched. If you drop it or drag it over rough surfaces, if you take a sharp implement to it, if you use abrasive cleaners on it... and probably loads of other 'ifs', you'll get scratches on it.
    They are not indestructible and the LCD screen is not harder than diamond. Take care of your Nano and you should be fine.
    Taking it back with scratches through normal wear and tear, or through poor care, will not get you a replacement. You would have to show that it was an actual fault with the Nano itself, and I get the distinct feeling most are fine
    As for purchasing a 4GB model, have you tried the online Apple store?

  • Ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second

    ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc.  I cannot swipe to the second page of icons,  black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?

    I had this problem as well.  This is what I found by searching online.  I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked.  I hope this helps you.  Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings.  Good luck.
    It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
    iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
    To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
    From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
    If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
    Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings. 
    Double-tap to open Settings. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap. 
    Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap. 
    Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on." 
    You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
    Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod.

  • TS3232 I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have screen flickering issues

    I have the mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter firmware 1.03 and I still have massive screen flickering issues on a Mac Mini 2012.
    I am using a Dell 30" monitor (it's the Samsung screen just rebranded) connected to a WD 4TB Thunderbolt drive connected to the Mac Mini.
    The screen is usable for the most part when I've just started the computer (although today I started having issues after a fresh restart) but if even just the screen goes to sleep, or the computer goes to sleep and I wake it later, I start to have massive flickering to black and occasionally to snow.
    The effect seems to be more likely to arise when I'm on heavy graphics-intensive websites or programs (eg, Tumblr feed with lots of GIF images or working in Adobe Premiere), but once it starts shutting down those programs has no effect, the screen keeps flickering wildly.
    The problem improved after the 1.03 firmware upgrade (for a while it was flickering uncontrollably ALL the time and was virtually unusable) but it has not gone away.
    Any suggestions would be very welcome, either for how to fix this issue or how to get Apple to, you know, let me TELL THEM that their adapter firmware fix has NOT solved the issue, since my phone support has expired. :/

    I have a new Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to allow my original Apple 30" Cinema Display to connect to the new Mac Pro.  Shipped straight from Apple, it is firmware version 1.03.  I've never had flickering issues, but the display will often go black (possibly after a screen power save) and not come back.  when this happens I am still able to connect to and use the Mac via remote connection.  But the only way to get the screen back is either to unplug the adapter and plug it back in to the Mac, or to shut down and power up the Mac.  This may be a separate issue, so I'll also post it standalone...

  • Mac Pro Screen Freezing Issue with NVIDIA 8800 GT too

    There were lots of entry in threads, where the screen freezing issue was described (disorted screen with strange lines, only reboot helps). Nearly all cases seem to be related to the ATI 2600 card.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1358062&tstart=30
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365277&tstart=0
    I opened this new thread to show, that this problems occurs not only for the ATI card but for the NVIDIA 8800 card, too.
    My MacPro was delivered 8 days ago and was running without any problems. But all of a sudden, I got that screen freeze. And it wasn't the first time, I was heavely working 2-3 hours with that computer.
    In total, 2 screen freezes showed on my computer. The first one during working with the computer. The second one during booting into MacOS X. The screen freeze occured during the boot phase with the grey screen and the spinning wheel.
    My configuration:
    MacPro 2.8, Dual Quad Core
    6 GB RAM
    3 harddisks, 1 standard from Apple, 2 Samsung with 750GB
    MacOS 10.5.2
    Formac 20" Monitor
    Perhaps others have this problem, too? Than we should emphasize, that this is not an ATI related problem.

    I've actually been having the freezing issue for a while now but I didn't have the know-how to troubleshoot it (PC tech trying to support the only Mac lab in the building).
    MacPro will freeze randomly (no trend in time, system strain, or open programs). The mouse will operate but will not interact with anything.
    Specs:
    MacPro - Model 1,1
    Dual Core Xeon 2.66
    2gb RAM
    nVidia GeForce 7300 GT
    Mac OS 10.4.11
    The machine always has 2 displays connected to it so the workaround that was discussed for the ATI 2600 doesn't apply. I had 1 display connected here in my shop and it froze for that as well.

  • How do i get my ipod nano touch screen fixed?

    How do i get the ipod nano touch screen fixed?

    Hello Kimberly j,
    You can either set up a service request with Apple through this or you can bring it into your local Apple Store/AASP and have them set one up for you.
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do
    Another option would be a 3rd party repair company who would be able to fix the iPod at a much lower cost.

  • Screen Tearing Issues

    As of today, my Mac Mini has experienced severe screen tearing issues, it generally happens on Chrome but has started to also happen on other applications such as Pages. My Mac Mini is virtually brand new and has been used for about 2 weeks. I am using an TV via an HDMI cable. It is the 2.3ghz model with 4gb RAM.  The OS is Mavericks. I have tried restarting but that didn't help. Plus the Mac is now hot with very little apps open (Minecraft, Chrome (1tab)) and the fan is loud.

    Doesn't sound good... You have 90 days free phone support and a one year warranty on your Mac Mini.
    I would Contact Apple Support or the Apple Store where you made the purchased and have it checked out.
    Additionally you might wat to get AppleCare, which extends the phone support and warranty to three full years.

  • Screen redraw issues

    Hi everyone
    My new Macbook appears to have screen redraw issues (as I've mentioned in other posts). It often does not redraw the screen quickly or smoothly. It may redraw the screen in bands from the top, or the Dock may come up in jerks. Also, the cursor often freezes, especially when switching from one app. to another, or after performing a function in an app (e.g. Save, or Delete in Finder). Messing around with the keyboard or trying another function often unfreezes the cursor again. It's frustrating.
    I think it's probably a compatibility issue, since quite a few of the applications I transferred over from my iBook are not yet available as fat binaries ("universal" binaries). Yet they seem to work OK. I'll post about that separately.
    If anyone else has experienced screen redraw issues, I'd be interested to hear about them. This machine should run much faster than my iBook, not much more slowly.

    Thanks again, Shawn. I wasn't sure whether to post all the problems as one mess, or separately so people could search for them separately. I decided on separately, in case they weren't related, but mentioned the other bits in each post in case they were.
    I myself searched under all these problems, but had little success. I don't know if that's an artefact of the Search or not. I suppose it depends on things like using "frozen cursor" or "freezing cursor". I certainly found more posts related to my problems when I read all the forum posts for MacBook Users. It took quite a while, but was more productive than searching. I'd rather not have to spend quite as much time on finding data, though.
    Thanks again.

  • Windows 2008 R2 Screen Lock Issue (GPO)

    Scenario: We will be deploying POS machines at our stores that will have Windows 2008 R2 as the preferred OS. The function of this POS machine is for POS administration and not for ringing up sales. The machines have been configured to autologin a specific
    user via GPO for POS functions. Also, a specific POS desktop environment shell has been configured to launch instead of Explorer (explorer.exe) shell environment at autologon.
    Everything seems to be working as expected except for the session of the user locking. Since the POS environment needs to be up at all times with the specific user profile, we do not want the OS to lock the user session. I've timed it and it seems to lock
    the screen (not log off) at approximately 15 minutes of inactivity, we do not want this.
    So far, these are the GPOs I have configured that have not fixed the issue:
    Computer Configuration>Policies>Windows Settings>Security Settings>Local Policies>Security Options>Microsoft Network Server: Amount of idle time required before suspending session = 99999 minutes
    Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Allow applications to prevent automatic sleep (plugged in) = Enabled
    Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Require a password when a computer wakes (plugged in) = Disabled
    Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Turn off hybrid sleep (plugged in) = Enabled
    Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Sleep Settings>Turn on the ability for applications to prevent sleep transitions (plugged in) = Enabled
    Computer Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Power Management>Video and Display Settings>Turn off the display (plugged in) = Enabled = 99999 seconds
    User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Personalization>Enable screen saver = Disabled
    User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>Control Panel>Personalization>Password protect the screen saver = Disabled
    User Configuration>Policies>Administrative Templates>System>Ctrl+Alt+Del Options>Remove Lock Computer = Enabled
    User Configuration>Preferences>Windows Settings>Registry>HKCU>Control Panel>Desktop>ScreenSaveActive = 0
    What are we doing wrong? How do I configure the OS to not lock the user session but keep it active at all times?
    As a side note: We have Windows 7 POS machines also that will be ringing up sales that we do not have the screen lock issue.

    Hi,
    >>Please see my setting indicated in my original post. We have Turn Off the Display set to 99999 seconds.
    I understand that we have set the Turn Off the Display for this amount of time. However, just for double check, we can go to the power plan we are using to check if the setting has been applied successfully. If the setting has been applied successfully,
    it should be grayed out. Or, we can run command gpresult/h gpreport.html
    with admin privileges to collect group policy result report to check this.
    Besides, do we use other third party software to protect our computer? We can try to clean boot the server to see if the situation persists.
    Regarding how to perform a clean boot, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • Firefox version 22 screen tearing issue with video

    So I've updated to Firefox 22 and have recently started noticing this really annoying screen tearing issue when scrolling. its only when i use Firefox sometimes it happens when I'm watching videos sometimes it just happens on normal every day pages. I've tried to duplicate this issue in other browsers (Chrome) and it just only seems to happen with Firefox. anyone else experienced this and knows how to stop it? kinda annoying

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • IDCS2 Screen Redraw issues

    We're having screen redraw issues when panning and zooming pages. Getting screen anomolies and jittery display performance. It only happens when using InDesign, no other apps exhibit similar issues.
    PC specs are:
    WinXP Prop SP2
    Dell Optiplex GX620, 2GB RAM
    ATI Radeon X600, 256MB Video Card
    Dual Dell 19" Flat Displays
    Tried setting Display Performance slider in Prefs to middle setting and still getting redraw problems.
    Is there a setting for the video card that might help?
    Thanks,
    -Danny

    InDesign is known to have display issues with scrolling (white bars appearing where the edge of the screen used to be), although I don't believe I've ever seen it panning. As far as I know there is nothing you can do but grumble.
    Not a lot of help, I'm afraid.

  • Screen refresh issue with SQL Developer 1.5.5 on Vista 64 bit

    I am using the latest version of SQL Developer.
    I have screen refresh issues in sql developer. On scrolling up and down the display gets jumbled, some time screen do not display at all. Its making working with SQL Developer very difficult. I don't have such an issue with any of my other editors.
    Is this something specific to Vista? Is there any know solution to this issue.
    Thanks
    Edited by: user5899685 on Sep 1, 2009 11:14 AM

    Specific? Not really, but judging from the posts here Vista is more prone. It usually indicates incompatibility between Java and video drivers.
    If updating your JDK or video driver doesn't work or isn't an option, just disabling DirectDraw in \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf usually works too:
    AddVMOption -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=trueHope that helps,

  • My nano's screen is frozen and won't change no matter what I do.

    My nano's screen is lit up and is as though I have just pressed the pause button. But it won't change. None of the buttons work. The hold switch doesn't change anything. Even if I plug it into my computer, the computer recognizes the USB being plugged in but iTunes doesn't pop up, nor does the screen change. It has been like this, for 3 hours now. What should I do? I bought the nano on September 25th, 2005.
