Part of screen seems unresponsive...

I just exchanged my iPhone 4 for another one (there was a screen defect) - but now the replacement one that I just got seems to have a screen problem. For some reason, I can't seem to drag apps from the first two rows to the bottom two rows and vice-versa. It is as though there is a barrier going through half of the screen. Also, I can't scroll if I start from the middle of the screen as opposed to starting at the top or bottom of the screen. I tried restarting the phone and just updated it to 5.0.1 but it didn't help. Any suggestions or am I going to have to exchange the phone again?

Basic troubleshooting can be found in the following article:

Beyond that you can try backing up and restoring as a new device:

IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini. It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive. This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?) all to no avail.
I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
SO - any suggestions:
1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
Cheers,
Todd

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

IPad 4 some parts of screen unresponsive

Ello,
Occasionally some parts of the screen is unresponsive to touch, such as hyperlinks, but if I move the page up or down then touch again it does. The address bar does something similar, no response when I type in an address, but then works if I click refresh.
Coincidentally, my friend has the same problem with her iPad Air.
any ideas?
thanks

Part of my iPad screen is unresponsive!

Part of my iPad screen is unresponsive, whenever I am sliding an object across the screen and I get to that bit, it's acts as if I have lifted my finger off? Help its brand new

Have you tried rebooting, resetting all settings or restoring the iPad? It could very well be a problem with the screen that no software solution can solve, but give those a try.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

follow instructions for a battery you

Try a pram reset
Power off, power back on holding the folowing keys:

Continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times then release. Reboot.
If you still have the issue bring it in to an Apple Store Genius bar for a a freevaluation, you may have a hardware issue.

ITouch Screen is unresponsive

My iPod touch 2rd generation has a weirdly unresponsive touchscreen. I didn't do anything to it and it seems that the entire middle section of the heat sensor screen is unresponsive. I tried to restore and reinstall and everything but that just didn't work. One reason being that whenever I try restoring it from iTunes, my computer freezes. I've also tried reinstalling iTunes and it always seemed to have the same problem. I managed to restore it manually using the "Erase All Content and Settings" from the Setting's App. And now I've loaded on back my apps and music. Since I haven't done anything it comes up with the edit home screen dismiss part and I'm stuck on that. Any help?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Black lit screen and unresponsive on start up

My mid-'13 (purchased October '13) 11" MacBook Air turns on but only to a black lit screen (no curser etc), the keyboard seems unresponsive and when I close it, the Apple is still lit up. Been like this for 4 days and no change. Fully charged. Running on Yosemite as of last week. Has suffered from the screen going off and freezing for a few seconds from time to time.

Hi Harrisongaw,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I know it can be worrying when your computer doesn't start up. If your MacBook Air is only starting up to a blank screen, but the Apple icon is still illuminated, I recommend resetting the system management controller (SMC) as a first step.
You can find the steps to reset the SMC for your model MacBook Air at this page:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

Anyone has this screen getting unresponsive problem ?

Been using the iPhone for about 2 weeks now. Since yesterday, at times the screen becomes unresponsive ? ( touch screen doesn't work ). No matter what I do, nothing works at that time. It says "Slide to unlock", but i cannot slide.... When someone calls...it says "Slide to answer" but I cannot slide.... makes it completely, unusable when this happens !! I rebotted the phone by pressing the top-key and home button for a few seconds and it starts working again... So, far so good... But I'm afraid the "unresponsiveness" might happen again !!
Anyone had similar problems ?
Thanks for sharing.
-VS

I'm having the same issues. About half of the times i want to use the "Slide to unlock", I find it being stuck. It will work again when I press the Standby button twice (once to darken the screen, once again to bring the slider back up).
I'm very unhappy with this fault anyway, and whenever this happens and a call comes in, I'm unable to answer it, because "Slide to answer" doesn't work as well.
Apart from that, the screen and iPhone work perfectly.
I tried to reboot, didn't help. Then I tried to restore, didn't help as well.
The first time i realized the issue was with 1.1.3, it didn't get any better with 1.1.4.
Now I've downgraded to 1.1.2. again, and I'll keep an eye on it.
It seems to work now as it should - I'll let you know if I have get the issue.
In case it works fine with 1.1.2., I'd take it for granted that this is a software bug, which will hopefully be adressed with the next firmware update.

IPod 2g/3g screen is unresponsive

       so i have this ipod that fell in water about 6 months ago and just today i went to turn it on and it did. but when i went to slide the slider to unlock it, it just wouldn't work. my screen is unresponsive.i have opened it and disconnected the digitizer and connected it back on and put it back together but the screen is still unresponsive. does anyone know what part might i have to replace?

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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPhone 4s is turned on, but the screen is unresponsive. Reset did not fix problem.

My iPhone 4s is completely charged and was turned off last night, but the screen is unresponsive when I try to turn it on. The screen has a tan background with pale skinny stripes with a black fuzzy frame. I've already tried a reset, but I can't seem to get it to work. Also, before I turned it off, the screen would shake near the bottom when I had certain apps open. Not sure how to fix this, either. I've only had the phone for a week...Help?

My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Restart your iPhone...
Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode
See here
http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/restore/
