    Hi Chuckfrombc,
    Based on your description, it sounds like there may be a hardware issue with your display. You may want to consider taking it in for evaluation and service; you may find the following page helpful (if you are not located in the United States, make sure to select your correct country from the dropdown):

  • I receive daily emails from the NY Times, which I read from my Ipad. Some of the emails will show all of the stories available, and some will only show a few lines in the body and the rest of the email is blank. Any ideas of what I need to do to fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

    If they have a tech support line I'd call your university. EIther their stuff isn't working with iOS7 or maybe they have some insight as to why it doesn't work.

  • IPad audio  output is not working properly, except on Siri. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

    iPad audio output does not work, except for on Siri. The mute button is not on, and the volume buttons have no effect/ don't work (unless Siri is open). I have reset the iPad, tried iOS7 and iOS8 resets, which didn't help. The audio output mostly works when headphones are out in, but has a tendency to cut out from time to time. Without headphones, Audio might start working again briefly from time to time, but most the time it doesn't.  Any ideas on what is wrong with it and how to fix it?
    my iPad is a 3rd gen, 16GB wifi only model, if that helps
    I did take it to an Apple Store, but the inncorrectly insisted that my speaker was bust and it would cost £250 to replace the whole iPad!

    iOS 8 isn't even out yet. If you are running iOS 8, I assume you are a developer and if you are, you are in the wrong forum to try to get help. If you are not a developer and you're running iOS 8, maybe that's why you are having problems on the iPad.

    The type that I made bold doesn't make sense. Is this a typo and you mean that " headphones are not in"?

    And you know they are incorrect because you get sound here and there from time to time? That fact doesn't prove that something isn't working correctly inside. You could very well have a bad connection inside the device causing this, but somehow you seem to know that's not the case.

  • I just had my FireFox updated after a major crash with at least over 80 tabs in 2 windows total, which it worked fine before crashing, but now my bowser crashes at random clicks on avrious websites & small group reloads. What is wrong and can it be fix?

    The tabs I had were at YouTube, DeviantART, and other websites that are picture sites, or just image heavy. I usually leave my browser open while my laptop is in hibernation mode, as to try to avoid closing them as I tend to build up tabs and it would be a pain to wait and load everything. This has cause some crashes in the past, but those were less frequent than what I am experiencing now after the latest update. My browser seems to act more frail after that big crash I had. I did tried to reload my windows in tab, while cutting off the wireless so it wouldn't be too big of rush of loadtime, but it still crashed and does it constantly now. I can barely watch a 10-minute video or any multi task without the browser just crashing at random loads or clicks. Also, I notice whenever I write comments on Youtube, the browser lags and sometimes freezes.
    It works better after I restart my computer, but that' s only a temporary fix.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    i left a dvd in my macbook pro for a while and now my computer wont recognize that there is even a disk in there, nor will it eject it. how do i get the dvd out?

    Hold down the mouse button or trackpad clicker as you start up.
    If no joy, restart and hold the Option key. This brings up the Startup Manager, which will draw an Icon for each bootable Volume. When all are drawn, the Eject key is "live".

  • I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? Thank you

    I have existing projects made in iMovie and now I can't play them or edit them... any idea what's going on? P/s M preview window is totally blank.  I can't figure out what went wrong. Thank you

    For iMovie to see your projects, they must be in a certain place. If they are on your startup internal hard drive, they must be in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder. If they are on an external drive, they must be in the iMovie Projects/ folder at the top level of the drive. Is it possible that your projects have been moves somewhere else?

  • Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603

    You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

    Hi Apple_Mom,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.

    When I connect my iPod nano 7th gen. to my computer and open itunes, there is a message that says the iPod could not be detected. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
