New Ipod, LCD fading

I have a new ipod, the 30G model, and am having a problem with the display. When I have it in my car, one corner starts fading to black. Its always the same corner and it does it no matter where I put the ipod, under the seat, covered up, flipped over with the display down, doesn't matter. Its almost like its getting hit with sunlight for to long but the sun never hits it, and its just the same corner that it happens to, never any other part of the display.
So is something wrong with my display because I can't believe the just the heat would do that consistently. And BTW, its not that hot where I live.
Please help while I still have apple support.

DOH!!!!
So I just realized that my sunglassess were polarizing the one corner of the screen. DOH.
thanks anyways.

  • Ok, when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer, it says unable to connect for unknown reasons, and as a benefit, it shows the songs as faded in the list and therefore unplayable. how do i fix this problem?

    as stated in the title, i when i try to sync my new ipod touch to my computer it says its unable to connect due to unkown reasons. the music is listed on my touch as there, but faded (minus a selected few songs) and therefore are unplayable. i have no idea where to start, i figured downloading the newest itunes update, however, it no longer shows up when i start it up. confused.

    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.
    - Reboot the computer
    - Try another cable and USB port
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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.

  • New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:

    New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:
    I must say I am very disappointed that I cannot charge my ipod while playing music anymore.
    I had no problem with all other ipod generations. Can this somehow be fixed?
    While the Harmon Kardon boom box was posted on the apple web site as recommended. And Now???
    Has anyone information regarding this issue??

    I'm having a similar problem with my new touch 3rd gen, with a Sony clock/radio/docking model ICF-CL75iP.
    No sound coming out of the speakers, and no picture or video showing on the radio's LCD screen.
    Sony replied to me that it's intended to work with any ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen but not with 3rd generation. Whose fault it is? Wrong software from Sony or Apple?
    I guess I'll try to downgrade the firmware from 3.1.2 to the previous one. If not then I'm stuck

  • How to get a new ipod with ipod's warranty

    My ipod nano is a total loss. The screen is totally unfanctuanal. Its a Technical problem. What are the steps to get a new ipod with the warranty?

    I was honestly just wondering that myself. My LCD screen literally cracked last night and i cant find a single thing on the apple support site that is helping me get it fixed under the warranty. It's kind of frustrating

  • Is the new iPod Nano LED-backlit?

    I want to buy a new iPod Nano and I'm trying to find out if the current generation is LED-backlit. I need to know this as I'm visually impaired and I can't use the old fluorescent backlighting that Apple used to use.
    The Apple site says that all Apple products other than the iPod Nano use LCD screens with LED backlighting. However, the iPod Nano is just listed as having a TFT screen. TFT is an alternative to LCD and can be used with any form of backlighting.
    Plenty of unauthorised sources on the internet claim that the Nano is now LED backlit, but there is nothing put out by Apple to confirm this. My local Apple store tell me that they can't tell me because Apple won't tell them.
    It would be rather odd if the Nano is the only Apple product that is still not LED-backlit, but I really need to be sure before I buy one. Can anybody help me out with this question?

    The brand new nanos announced today in Steve Jobs' keynote address use TFT LCD displays. Not sure how this compares with LED displays for brightness. IF you decide to get one of the brand new ones you might want to wait and try it out in an Apple store first.

  • New iPod mini, but I don't want to delete old songs

    So I got a new iPod because my battery had worn out and I used my warrenty. However, I heard rumors that if I register my new iPod that I will lose all of my music in iTunes. When I click on iPod Updater, it shows two buttons, "Update" and "Restore". However, "Update" is faded out and does not give me the option to click on it. I am afraid that if I click "Restore" I will lose all of my music in iTunes. Please help.

    I'M NOT SURE, but I think if you wanted (just in case) if you wanted your music to be saved to your 'My Documents' folder, on you can. Pull up iTunes (that you used for your old ipod). Go to Advanced on your tool bar. Then go to 'Consolidate Library'. I THINK that might do it. Again, I'm not sure that's what did it for me.

  • Faulty Nano Trade in for New Ipod?

    Can I trade in my faulty Nano and get the New Ipod, paying the rest of the money, instead of getting another Nano? Because when they say "Impossibly Small" they mean "Impossibly Delicate". My firned went through 3 Nanos and had to replace all of them because they were faulty and supposedly only 1% are and I don't want to go through the chance of that happening again, so is there a possibility that I can get credit towards the New Ipod?

    Okay so here it goes... I am 17 years old and very responsible....come home on time and all that........i got the ipod nano less than two months ago........i left it my coat pocket adn hung my coat in my empty coat hanger.....naxt morning i take out my nano and am i in for a schock....The lcd is broken???How did that happen.......I was so careful.........What should i do....???Who do i contact...I worked all summer and saved for an ipod....should have gotten the mini???can someone tell who to contact or a phone number i can call.......I am in canada

  • The new Ipod = Itrip?

    Can someone please tell me if the new ipod can be plugged whit an itrip?

    I don't think so.
    I got myself an iTrip LCD and on the box it said:
    "Made for: iPod photo, 4g and 3g iPod"
    It says nothing about iPod with video.
    And there is 2 pin on the iTrip (one for audio, one for power),
    and on the iPod video there is only one jack.
    There is other solution for FM transmitter.
    Look for something that plug in the dock connector.
    Some are integrate with car charger, other can be with car charger or with
    batteries. Not as convenient as the iTrip.
    But I bet there will be a solution soon.

  • My new Ipod and some things I noticed, including scratching

    I got my new 60gb black Ipod, very happy with it, no issues with videos converting etc works exactly as expected and should.
    However I have noticed that I already have a good few scratches on my new Ipod, I was very careful with it as I knew there could be issues etc....So I never touched the screen, never let anyone else touch it, never place it face down etc and never put it into a pocket etc....
    However, what I have noticed is that there are marks/scratches on it even though I was very careful, the screen has a few and there are a few arund the click wheel. The only thing I put it in is the sleeve/pouch that comes with the Ipod and I am positive this has actually caused the scratches....
    Has anyone else noticed this...? Not much I can do now, so does anyone know of a good case for it before more of this happens....what about repairing the scratches, any ideas...I am in Europe so the shield is too expensive to import...
    Thanks..

    Yes, well I took my plastic bit off as it was all in
    one and the click wheel would not work properly with
    it left on....shame they don't have a case for it...
    I cut it half just below the lcd screen, when I received my iPod.
    And I'm going to put one of my universal PDA film (it was pack of 5) as the original half-cut one starts to get bubbles underneath.
    Why don't you try pda screen protect film for your lcd display? It'll cost a dollar or two if you go to bestbuy or any electronics shop. I always use protective film for any kind of LCD displays, PDA, digital camera, camcoder, iPod, pmp,....
    Even if I have a leather case in the future, I'll put a protective film for my lcd screen.
    By the way, I don't expect the practical life time as long as, let's say, 1 or 2 years for this 5G iPod. I maybe buying a 6G iPod at that time,,
    Cheers,

  • Video out from new iPod to TV (not photos)

    OK, let's get an answer to this once and for all.
    Can you play your own video (not purchased music videos or TV shows or iPhotos) on a TV/Monitor using the new iPod?
    This article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300224 seems to say no.

    Since that article was created on October 19, 2004 and the article indicates that it applies toiPod with color display (also known as iPod photo)I don't think it has anything to do with the new iPod that has video capabilities.
    Maybe someone in the iPod > iPod with video Pre-release has an answer... or guess.

  • Can I move games from one iPod to a new iPod?

    Can I transfer games in progress from ipod3 to new ipod4?

    Yes.  Transfer these Apps to your iTunes library by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases and then sync them to the new iPod or simply download these same applications on your new iPod when it arrives.
    If you want to retain app data as well, you'll want to backup the old iPod and restore the new iPod from that same backup.  See this article for more assistance.

    4.) I go to the apple website to download latest ipod updater then i saved it to: Save to disk
    5.) Then in my pc desktop an icon for adobe:ipodsetup.exe->click it but it says:There was an error opening this document.The file is already open or in use by another application.-> cant understand what it implies...
    6.) So because of that i deleted all the remaining files in my ipod which was MY PICS. so it leaves my ipod no songs etc as in empty as ever.

    8.) so if anyone who has a kind heart to hear my problems please help me..thank you

    WOW, you have a big problem. My first suggestion is to restore your ipod, like btabz said. Other things you could do are 1). Send it in to a electronics store or apple.
    2). Get a new ipod (LAST RESORT)
    3). 5 R's- See http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/

  • "ipod cannot update - file not found" after getting new ipod

    i had my ipod replaced today at the apple store because of a bad HD. Seems like the one they gave me was brand new...anyway after following the restore/charge directions, i went to go plug it into my dock and Itunes is telling me it can't update the ipod because the file is missing. i definitely have the latest update installer, and i even tested playlist syncs with the new ipod and it definitely updates songs/playlists, but after that it gives me the error message about not being able to update.
    i ran the last updater, and it says my ipod is up to date.
    what's going wrong? i must have done something wrong.

    or not....i spoke too soon!
    it's doing it AGAIN. after it started updating after restoring all was well, it tried to add my whole library which won't fit.
    when it add's a "library selection" instead automatically, it fills up my ipod so that the photos won't update.
    then when i re-mount the ipod, it gives me the same old error message again about missing the file required for updating!?!?!?
    i wish my preference to "manually add songs" instead of syncing the library would save in Itunes when i restore my Ipod. it's making it impossible for me to get things working properly after restoring....
