Possibly Fix To Unresponsive Screens

apple didnt fix my ipod touch cause of cracked screen
but my screen is unresponsive to touch only button work
do you think if i reconnect the ribbon vable it will work
cause my friends old iphone was crck every 2 cen.
and it still worked
so can someone try it?
and tell me

Yes, this is forcing the iPod into Disk Mode. Often this will work as well for an ipod that keeps rebooting over and over and never getting to the main menu. Once in Disk Mode, iTunes will often "see" it and you can now perform a restore on the iPod.

  • Possible fix for unable to eject ipod, files are in use by another program

    If you get the above message and are using itunes 7, this may be a possible fix. Open itunes and connect your ipod. When you get the main screen, uncheck the box "open itunes when this ipod is connected" and then click apply in the lower right of the screen. After your ipod has finished updating (top of itunes says update complete) you must eject the ipod using the safely remove hardware from your tray in the taskbar. Unplug you ipod, close itunes. Now, open itunes and connect your ipod. After it updates, you should safely remove the ipod. Good luck.

    Easy way. Reset the iPod, then disconnect when you see the Apple logo.
    Another way. Hold ctr-alt-del to bring up the Windows Task Manager. Go to the Processes tab and look for iTunesHelper.exe and iPodService.exe. Select them and hit the End Process button. Close the Windows Task Manager Window and try ejecting the iPod via the safely remove hardware method.
    

If you are still having problems you can try one more thing. Right click on the My Computer icon and select Manage from the list of actions. Go to the Services and Applications item and from there the services item. Double click on the services item to bring up the list of services currently installed on your computer. Look for the iPod Service and double click on it. From the new window select Stop. Now try again to eject using the safely remove hardware option.
    

If all else fails shut down the computer and disconnect the iPod.

  • How to get photos from iphone5 with unresponsive screen

    My iphone was dropped a few days ago and the screen became unresponsive. All the buttons work fine, but I can't swipe to turn it on or enter my passcode. I took the phone to an Apple store and was told by a not-nice guy that there was nothing they could do and that I could not get any of my photos off of the phone because I had the phone passcode protected. I thought Apple wanted everyone to passcode their phones! I wish I had known that this would prevent me from accessing my photos if anything happened to my phone.
    I have sadly come to accept that my phone cannot be fixed and that I will need to shell out big bucks for a replacement. However, I cannot accept that there is no way to retrieve the material on my phone. When I plug the phone into the computer, it is recognized fine and stuff will download to the phone. However, iTunes tells me that it cannot synch FROM the phone until I enter the passcode on the phone, which of course, I cannot do . 
    I am really hoping that someone will know some trick to getting stuff off of a phone with an unresponsive screen. Please, please help this very sad iphone user.  The photos are all the photos I have of my young daughter. I know, I should have learned to to back my phone up, but when I tried a few months ago, I couldn't figure it out, so I have no backup. I even tried to set up iCloud, but I couldn't figure that out either. I suppose I deserve to lose all the photos from my daughter's babyhood . Thanks for helping if you can! (please!!)

    Dear Dilbert41, thanks so much for your reply. In "my computer", it shows "other" and "photostream (system folder)". When I try to open the photostream, it says "photostream is not enabled. Sign in to icloud to view photostream. Open icloud control panel." So, if I click on the open icloud control panel and enter my apple id, it tells me that icloud has not been set up. So, I tried to set up icloud, but it appears that I have to set it up ON my iphone first, which I cannot do because the screen is broken. If I could use the screen, it appears I could get around the passcode. Instead, I have the passcode, but I cannot enter it because the screen does not work. I'm sure I had plugged my phone into my computer several times; I remember copying some songs in iTunes. This makes me think that I should be able to synch without reentering the passcode, but unfortunately, that does not seem to work (other sites said that if I plugged it into a computer it had been plugged into before that it would work).

  • Is it possible to scratch the screen iPad2 fingernail?

    Good day to all! Is it possible to scratch the screen iPad2 fingernail?
    While not pressing, etc. And by chance. Scratch a little (0.5 - 1 cm) - is visible especially in white. Divorce is such a viewing angle especially.
    While straight on the screen.  It seems everywhere they write about the strength of Gorilla Glass. And then ...
    And in addition: whether it is somehow "fix"?
    Or store where I bought - replaced the glass on the other and not reported it?

    paulfromathensDo you mean that I "strongly pressed with a fingernail on the screen?"
    This is how hard it would be necessary to reap? I took his fingers in the Solar Walk. All.
    Is it possible that this is a faulty display?

  • Possible Fix for Printing Problems in Leopard

    I got this information from Mac OS X Leopard Edition book by David Pogue. Here's his possible fix for printing problems in Leopard...Open web browser and enter this address http://127.0.0.1:631. You'll find youself at a secret "front end" for CUPS (Common UNIX Printer System), the underlying printing technology for Mac OS X 10.5. This trick lets your Mac communicate with a huge array of older printers that dopn't yet have Mac OS X drivers. Using this administration screen, you can print a test page, stop your printer in its tracks, manage your networked printers and print jobs, and more–a very slick trick. Haven't tried it yet...anyone who does let me know how it worked!

    If you literally "checked" them, meaning the checkboxes, that only affects their visibility. To remove them, select one and then click on the "minus" part of the "plus minus" at lower left.

  • Possible Fix for the 3.1.1 app crash problem

    THIS IS A POSSIBLE FIX ONLY!!!
    So like many of you I upgraded to 3.1.1 and after the update all of my apps would no longer work. They contiually crashed to the home screen when I tried to open them. I tried downloading random new apps, deleting all my apps and re-installing them with no luck. I tried reseting the iPod and even restoring it through iTunes. I also tried de-authorizing and re-authorizing my computer. None of these things worked for me. Today I tried to go back to the 2.2.1 update (which is the only one I could find that would download) when I tried to upload that onto my iPod I got an error #20 so I ended up restoring back to 3.1.1 the only difference was i told iTunes to start my iPod as a new one instead of loading it from a backup. This actually worked, the only downside was I lost my favourited websites and all the saved info in my apps but hey, atleast they work.
    So long story short try wiping your iPod clean and restoring as a brand new one with the 3.1.1 and it might just just work.

    I just purchased the 64GB iPod touch and it had the same issues from the start. While I had the same issue with the apps I also had intermittent problems with movies not working. I reset the entire iPod touch 64gb and re-synced as 'new' (described earlier) and it is working for now. I am planning on loading some new apps and movies and re-syncing to see if it stays working.
    Also, I upgraded from 3.1.1 to 3.1.2 and everything stopped working again. I am staying on 3.1.1 as long as this solution keeps working until I see something from Apple addressing this issue.
    Apple usually does a better job with their software. I am hoping that this is only a software issue and not a hardware issue.

  • I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    Contact Apple support at the appropriate number from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask about possible screen replacement being offered in the UK for the iPhone 5...in the US that is only done on the iPhone 5, and not at all Apple stores at this time.  Only certain ones are doing so.
    If that is not an option, an out-of-warranty replacement for the iPhone 5 is $229 in the US, convert to Pounds Sterling.

  • How to fix a grey screen

    How do I fix a Gray screen on a MacBook Pro, so that I can finally start up my Laptop?

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Is it possible to disable the screen saver for a certain app?

    Is it possible to disable the screen saver just while a certain application is running?
    The app seems to crash when the screen saver comes on.
    Just so you know, application I'm using is Hogwasher; a newsgroup reader.

    Not really. Just disable it manually when you run that application. Then, send off a bug report to the app's developer and tell him to update it for the latest Tiger. Alternatively, use another newsgroup reader.

  • Sync SHARED Outlook calendar with iPhone (possible fix!)

    Hey all,
    My business uses a shared calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Our personal calendars sync fine. However, the shared calendar does not appear in iTunes.
    POSSIBLE FIX: If you create a local copy of the shared calendar by clicking and dragging from Public Folders to Calendar in Outlook, it will appear in iTunes and will sync.
    QUESTION: How do I automate this process, so that a local copy is created whenever the shared calendar is updated?

    1. Apple has removed sync services in OS X Mavericks. Therefore, you cannot sync Outlook 2011 with Contacts or Calendar.
    2. Apple has removed the ability to sync through iTunes in OS X Mavericks, so that, even if you use Contacts and Calendar on the Mac, you can only sync them with your iPhone through iCloud, thus exposing all your contacts and calendar information to the mercies of the Web.
    3. Microsoft does not not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly through iCloud, except perhaps by setting up a Microsoft Exchange account.
    4. Apple makes it extremely difficult (virtually impossible) to revert to a version of OSX that is earlier than OS X Mavericks once Mavericks is installed.
    In short, we are screwed and neither company seems to care.

  • Can the Apple Store see my Internet history when I go to fix my ipod screen?

    I'm going to with my dad to fix my ipod screen but can they see the internet history? I wasn't looking at anything bad, but I accidently clicked it. Can they see my internet history from my ipod on their computer even though I restored it (The IPOD) I just don't want to get in trouble by my parents..

    No really if you restored to factory defaults/new iPod since that erases the iPod.

  • How can I fix this blue screen?

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
