Parts of the screen on my iphone 3gs do not respond when touched
Parts of the screen on my i-phone 3gs do not respond when touched. Most of the screen works fine, there is just a section along the bottom that doesn't respond.
This explains how to troubleshoot touchscreen response and what to do if you can't fix it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827

Sometimes the screen on my iPhone 3GS randomly enlarges so I cannot see or manipulate the touch screen controls. Anyone know what causes this?

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.
Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem! -

If these don't work you probably have a hardware problem. Visit an Apple store for an evaluation or contact Apple Support. -
What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.
I understood. Emphasizing that this is still a guess, when you touch the screen it compares your fingerprint at that time to the one you originally recorded. The fact that the finger is warmer may have a small effect on the fingerprint making it appear different than the original colder one. Temperature differences cause things to expand and contract and that may be having an effect on the comparison. You could try recording a fingerprint after doing what you are doing and then see if it will be recognized when you do the same thing to log into the phone. I know that prior to iOS 7.1 for a few minutes after I would wash my hands the phone had difficulty recognizing the fingerprint. Don't know if it was temperature or moisture that caused the temporary change induced by the hand washing. That improved with version 7.1 I think.

Hu, my iPad has a frozen screen, was working fine then would not respond to touch, any ideas?
Hi,
Has anyone had a problem with their ipad screen not responding to touch? I can't close it down properly or entre the password to start it up again, the screen does not respond to touch...any ideas?
Thanks
RobFirst, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -

you won't get an exchange for a single stuck/dead pixel, so I guess you have to live with it. I mean you can try, but no company except nintendo exchanges a single dead pixel as far as I know.
sure you can, I did. I would book a "genius" appointment and see what they say. -

I am wondering this because today I went to an AT&T store since my IPhone 3GS is working not so well and I barely got it about four months ago,they said that I would have to go to an Apple store which I am going to do Sunday but my IPhone 3GS be exchanged by an IPhone 4 or the same model as right now?Also,if I don't get the IPhone 4 is there any chance I would be able to buy it from them,no higher than 100 dollars?
Replacements are same model, size, and color. 99.9999999% of the time there is no exception and the exception is always Apple's decision. This has only ever happened when Apple does not have sufficient quantities of service units for replacement of a specific model.
Apple does not offer "upgrades" or exchanges during the warranty replacement part. If you want a newer model, you must purchase it at full retail (or subsidized price from your carrier if you qualify). -
IPhone 3gs is not responding after update and then restore!!!
Hi, I have an iPhone 3gs and i plugged it in to charge. All of the sudden the screen shuts off and it restarts. When it turn back on it says your iPhone has been updated to iOS 6.1.3 please connect it iTunes. When i did connect to itunes it didnt do anything. I followed the instructions on the iPhone but nothing. I tried this on 3 different computers and still nothing. I read some things on the other apple supports saying to restore. Right before the restore would finish on the coumputer it would say error 1!! I tried to restore on different computers as well several times. I never pressed or did anything on the iPhone to make it do this. What do I need to do to get rid of the error or fix the iphone??
Probably because it's jailbroken or hacked to be used with another carrier.

I am having trouble with my ipad. When I turn it on the message that I have not backed up my iphone appears on the screen. I cannot get rid of it or acces anything. The screen is frozen. I cannot even turn it off.
Hello Juno2162,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad. I recommend following steps in the tutorial below to address an issue like this. I think the step to reset your iPad may be particularly useful in this scenario:
To reset iPad, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
You can find the full tutorial here:
