Only bottom half of iphone is touch sensitive...

I dont know what just happened but only the bottom portion of the touchscreen on my iphone is now touch sensitive.. I'm hoping turning it off and then on will somehow magically solve the problem..Is there anyway I can turn off the phone without sliding it off?

Yes you can reset the iPhone
follow the below video
http://movies.apple.com/movies/us/apple/iphone/2007/tips/iphone-tip-resetiphone560x316.mov
if this doesnt help do a full restore from within iTunes
_+Note: A full Restore will delete all media and data. All settings will be reset as well. If possible, sync iPhone with iTunes before restoring to back up your most recent settings.+_
Hope this helps

IPhone 2G touch sensitivity offset

Hey folks,
I have an old iPhone 2G running iOS 3.1.3, wich I am using for developements and
tests.
It suddently started to lose touch sensitivity on an horizontal strip at the bottom, but then it started to gain touch sensitivity on a horizontal strip at the top above the screen border. Both strips are abouth the same height, so I am suspecting that my iphone touch sensitivity is kind of offset off its normal position.
Has anyone experienced this problem?
I already tried to restore, hard reset, jailbreak, shake, heat, etc.
Can it be solved using a path / bootloader / downdgrade or another software workaround? I cant take my iphone to the app store, genius bar or whatever, because I am hundreds of kilometer far away from one :-)
Any help will be apretieted.

Error 26 is a hardware failure. Apple does not "fix" iphones(except for screen replacement & battery replacement). If your phone is under warranty & Apple determines the failure is covered by said warranty, it will be replaced. If your phone is not under warranty, you will have to find a third party repair facility. Note: warranty & service for iphones is only provided in the country the phone was originally purchased in from an official supplier.

Apple also offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair", which pays for an exchange at a discounted price.

IPhone 6 touch sensitivity problem near edges of screen

I'm wondering if others are experiencing the problem I'm having with the sensitivity of the touch screen near the edges of the screen.
Often times I have the press harder or multiple times on buttons near the edges of the screen. When typing on the keyboard, it will often miss my first attempts at pressing the letters "A", "Z", "123", "L", etc. When using the calculator, I often have to press the "+" or "1" two or more times before it recognizes the press. All of these letters are near the edges of the screen. I tried typing on my wife's iPhone 6 Plus and do not have the same problem.
Do I have a faulty touchscreen, or is this a common problem?

After much troubleshooting and a phone replacement (for an issue with the home button too), the problem appears to be software related. On my replacement phone the problem continued when I restored from an iTunes or iCloud backup. But when I set up the phone as a new device then manually entered my 10 email accounts, re-downloaded my 100+ apps, set all my customizations, etc. - the touch screen works fine. I've even backed up and restored the new setup and old setup several times to confirm this.
All I can think of is there's likely screen size setting that's carried over from the iPhone 5 backup, that's mis-matched on the larger screen on the iPhone 6.
I wish Apple would involve me in beta testing their new software/devices and I could help them figure this stuff out, and save myself and other from countless hours of setting up their phone again. A selective restore would be nice (accounts and apps, but not settings).

Touchs creen on the bottom half not working

i have a strange probglem on my phone and the bottom half of the screen wont work and the top half will, i cant answer any phone calls i cant open the ipod or anything on the bottom i wish i had put them on the top rows now and the top rows will move about so i can turn it off but the moment i lock my phone the only way i can access it again is if it tiurn it off and on again, thank god the turn off thing is on the top lol, its a stupid problem to have but has anyone ever had somehing like this? could it be solved with a restore? this would be a great time for the springboard to be able to switch sides. maybe 3.0 will fix it?

thanks for your replies, its good to know im not the only one who has had or having this problem.
i will try a restore, im trying to avoid this because i have app store apps i dont have saved in itunes after i had to format.. but if it makes my iphone work its definatly worth trying.
i think its still under worranty if the restore does not work putting to dfu mode and restore, ill take to store see if they can replace it. but hopefully by then ill be able to buy a new iphone maybe get the 16gb..
thanks will post results if it works

When I sync my ipod touch with itunes it only syncs half of every song to my ipod touch

When I sync my ipod touch with itunes it only syncs half of every song to my ipod touch. I cant figure out how to fix this problem. PLEASE HELP ME resolve this problem! THANKS!

- Yes. If you sync with another coputer. the contents of the iPod will be replaced with those on the new computer.
- You can redownload most iTues puchases b:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- If yo want to retain app data like saved games, do the following after all the apps and other things on in the iTunes library:
---- Connect the iPod t the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.

Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.

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!

DVD only fills bottom half of window

When I try to watch a movie using DVD player, I only see the bottom half of the movie. The top half of the DVD player window is black. I used the program Pacifist to reinstall the DVD player package from a Mac OS install disk, but the problem persists. Anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

Ok..
Maybe an extension or plugin issues...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extensions issue, back to the menu bar click Safari > Preferences > Security.
Deselect: Enable plug ins. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, then you have one or more Safari add ons causing this.
Follow the instructions for troubleshooting plugins here > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
If it's not a plugin issue, go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .pilst file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

Re: after update 4.3.5 i am facing touch sensitivity problem the iphone 4 is acting funnily... corner of the screen is not responding at all i cant use any apps, letters, numbers at the corner of the screen

Recently i have updated my iphone 4 to latest 4.3.5 update using itunes... from the time i have updated... i am facing problems... like touch sensitivity... like cant attend the call at one swipe... cant use any applications at the corner of the screen... some times i touch message icon... it moves to next page... some times in the applications without touching the screen in the app the features get activated... is it the problem with the software update or my iphone is having any problem with screen...
please let me know what should i do...

Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide, Appendix B:
Restart phone
Reset phone
Restore in iTunes using a backup
Restore as a new iPhone, without using a backup.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPhone_iOS4_User_Guide.pdf
Also, remove any screen protector.
If none of the above works, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone warranty service in your country.

Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album

Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album. Where is the rest of the album? My iTunes account showed that I was charged for the full account>

Welcome to the forums!
I'd contact the iTunes store and explain your situation. While they normally do not allow duplicate downloads the iPhone and Store interface is brand new and bound to have some issues to start with. I'd suspect they'll just allow you to download it again or credit your account.
