Portion of the screen doesnt work

for some reason, out of nowhere, the middle of my screen wont register touches. i drew vertical lines in the Sketches app and it stops drawing in the middle. i uploaded the picture here: http://images.sketchesapp.com/view/67ba8421. its not just in Sketches, its the iPhone. when i scroll in Safari, it'll scroll, stop in the middle, and then continue scrolling. i restored it to backup and its still there. any suggestions besides having it checked out at the Apple store?

Standard troubleshooting is:
1) Reset (hold the sleep/wake & home button until the Apple logo appears)
2) Restore in iTunes
3) Make an appointment at the Genius Bar - http://apple.com/retail - to have the phone checked.

  • I have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

    i have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

    First, 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 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.

  • Can i use the iphone 5s if the screen doesnt work?

    the screen of my iphone 5s doesnt work anymore but the phone still works perfectly well. I want to unblock the iphone but I cannot find a way. is there any way in which I can unblock the iphone without using the touch screen?

    Take your iPhone to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center and have them assess it and suggest next steps.

  • How do i back up my iphone when the screen doesnt work?

    i dropped my iphone today and it landed screen down but did not smash, then the colours started to turn strange on the screen and now all there is are blue and black lines going down the screen, i took it into apple and asked if it was fixable and they told me i need to back it up. but thats where the problem is i cannot back up my iphone as itunes is asking me to insert my passcode but i cannot see the numbers on the screen, ive tried guessing a few times where the numbers are but it does not work, is there any way of backing up my iphone without having to put my passcode in my phone?

    If you perform the backup using the computer you normally sync with, it shouldn't ask this. If that computer is not available or you have never done so, you're out of luck. You can't.

  • I have a second gen ipod nano; The screen doesnt work but it will still make the clicking noises and it is recognised in itunes? why wont the screen work?

    HELP

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

    When you cannot tap on the touchscreen, you can use a keyboard combination to put the device in USB drive mode.
    Use the following procedure to put your device in USB drive mode then copy the pictures.
    1. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB cable.
    2. On your phone, tap USB Drive or press Option + Sym + U.
    On your computer, your phone appears as a removable drive.
    You can then copy and paste the pictures to your PC for backing up.
    For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

  • My ipods touch screen doesnt work anymore i cant unlock my ipod

    my ipod was working fine for a while and then now all of a sudden the touch screen doesnt work at all. Ive restored it twice now and i cant unlock my ipod because the screen doesnt work..anything i can do to fix it or do i have to buy a new one?

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem you very likely have a hardwre problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can i back up my apple iphone 3g its telling me to unlock the screene but i cant the touch screen doesnt work

    i have a apple iphone 3g and my touch screen doesnt work i tried to back it up to my itunes but its telling me unlock it i need my contacts off it like asap help

    If the touch screen physically doesn't work, it's too late to back it up. You should have been syncing your contacts with something... a cloud service or contact manager on a PC. If you were not, then I'm afraid you're going to lose them.

  • I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely.

    I got my screen fixed and the day i got my ipod touch 4th gen back the wifi doesnt work unless i hold it right up to my router. Roughly every foot I move back it loses a bar and if i leave the room it doesn't even have a signal completely. Could the screen replacement have tampered with the wifi capability? Also if it helps I switched internet providers and during the time when my ipod was being fixed a new router was installed and it doesnt seem to work unless directly infront of my ipod.

    Take it back to where you had the screen replaced. They messed up the connection to the wifi antenna

  • I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

    I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

    The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

    Did the trick!  Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!!  I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen.  This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store.  Many thanks.

  • Touch acts as if the "touch " SCREEN DOESNT WORK

    TOUCHING THE SCREEN DOESNT NOT WORK

    Try to set it up as new device without using the backup afterwards:

  • My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

    My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
