Screen broken but not cracked

ok, so i have the 30gb model and ive only had it for 3 months. the other day i went to turn it on and the screen was all messed up. it seems there is some sort of lag or somthing where parts of the startup screen still show on the main menu. i can hardly see anything on the screen let alone navigate. ive heard of the problems people have had with their screens being cracked and apple wont fix them. this is not the case, there is no black spots or anything of the sort on my screen. will apple handle this as they should, or will they say the same to me as they say to all the others?

You can try resetting it, or even restoring it - to see if it's an internal software problem.... there's always a chance....
Then you can call Apple support, and find out if you're going to get the "tough luck" or a sympathetic ear.
Where I live, I go back to my mac store on a regular basis - they're really accomodating - especially when I can demonstrate the problem for them.

Aperture photos available in 'screen saver' but not 'desktop'

In 'System Preferences' the Aperture photos are available in 'screen saver' but not 'desktop'.
Any ideas?

Brian,
As far as I know, those two lists come from the same place. I've always seen them both contain the same items. However, they do not look the same for some reason. Under Desktop, I have to open several disclosure triangles before I get to my Aperture photos, but with Screen Saver, they are already open at the top level.
That being said, first things first: have you tried the [Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]?

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

External screen detected but not working on DisplayPort connection on X220

I'm running up to date Raring on my Thinkpad X220 and stumbled upon weird problem.
I can connect to an external 24 inch DELL U2312HM external screen using DisplayPort cable.
I tried the same connection at work, with similar, but larger screen - 27 inch DELL U2713HM using the same cable.
When I check >>Settings >> Displays the display is detected. However I'm looking at dark screen.. Bizarrely - when I hit the PrtScr - I can also see it correctly with Ubuntu walpaper o_O
The monitor is detected and works correctly when using [DisplayPort to DVI-D Adapter Cable (Single Link)] however the resolution on this setup is limited to 1920 x 1200 so I'd really like to take advantage of DVI since the laptop should support it.
How could I fix this issue?

Hello,
According to the specs on Dell's web site, the U2713HM is a WQHD (2560×1440) resolution display and requires a DisplayPort 1.2 compliant signal. From looking at the PSREF documentation, this resolution is supported on the DisplayPort at a frequency of 60Hz. There is no mention of DisplayPort version, though.
Just to confirm, the DisplayPort cable you are using is DisplayPort at both ends and does not have an HDMI or DVI connector attached to the monitor, correct?

Why does ESC work to exit some full screen apps but not all?

Example, while in full screen if I am in the web browser(I use firefox) clicking esc doesn't exit full screen, but when I am in photo booth esc works just fine. I noticed it with a few apps, sometimes it works and other times you have to go and click the exit option in the top right corner. I'm new to mac, this is my first mac and I only got it a few days ago so I'm quite uneducated with the software.

I found another thread that helped. I switched to 3-finger swipe then back to 4-finger, however everything froze and I lost my curser. I actually had to force quit the Finder twice before it took effect. Now it works. That thread was: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191453?start=0&tstart=0

Starcraft lags in full screen mode but not minimzed mode, hardware issue?

hi
recently ive noticed that starcraft ( fully updated ) in fullscreen mode lags incredibly, pratically beyond being playable, im not sure what this is due to, but in minimized mode it plays just fine, the game is really old and i dont really see any software reason for this.
here are some relevant notes
my computer was affected by the nvidia issue and the part was replaced less than a year ago, so i dont think its the video card, or could it be?
my computer has been heating up a bit for like 3 months, i recently downloaded the smc fan control to control that and its been fine since then
i ran the hardware test that came with the comp and everything seems to be fine
i ran techtools pro too and everything it checked seemed to be fine
dont know what else to say, this kinda confused me, if anyone knows anything, i would be greatful

I cant say I've tried starcraft on it but I have played WoW on mine, extensively. And it does the same for me, suggesting its a matter of software design... since they are both from Blizzard.
Its quite a notable difference too...

New screen fitted but not working?

ive recently fitted a new screen to my ipod 4th gen, and when ive gone to switch it back on the screen isnt lighting up, anyone know why

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.
First I would take it apart and look for problems.
- Nextm take it to someone with more experience.
- Apple will not help

Nokia 5800 - Screen locking, but not turning off. ...

Had the phone about 2 or 3 months, no real problems so far... About 2 nights ago when i attempted to lock the phone using the keyguard the screen didnt turn off as expected. I still get the small locked symbol in the top right hand corner but the display just stays on and never goes off...
Ive restored factory defualts and updated the firmware but to no avail... any ideas are grealy appreciated
Thanks

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
If that doesn't do it,
This is for a Mac that won't shut down. Launch Activity Monitor (or Process Viewer if you're running a pre-Panther OSX) and see if there are any active applications besides Activity Monitor ( items with icons next to the name), select them, and click Quit Process.
If an app won't quit by clicking Quit, click Force Quit. Then try shutting down again.
If that doesn't work start killing off system-managed programs ( items without icons ) . Be sure to quit only the programs your user account is running; don't quit anything identified as "root" or "nobody" in the User column- and whatever you do, don't quit any of the following : loginwindow, Window Server, ATSServer, or SystemUIServer, which make up the foundation of Mac OS.
Quit one process at a time, and then shut down after each kill until you find success!
I wish you luck!
p.s.If you install two of a single user licensed third-party application on different computers which are networked, this symptom may occur. If that is the case, a solution is to perform "Erase and Install" for both computers.

Faulty USB Port (Broken but not broken..)

For sometime now, my rear USB stopped working - I THOUGHT it had malfunctioned, but I randomly tried something today and it kind of fixes it.
For the USB port to work, I have to push down on the connected device (push the USB head downwards) for it to work. Maybe something got moved around and the power isn't getting through properly.
What can I do for now (besides taking it to an Apple Genius Bar, which I won't be able to do for another couple of months)?
Thanks in Advance,

Battery clip X230 - not broken, but not holding battery in

The clip that is spring-actioned (#2) no longer extends into the battery, so the battery slips out and powers down all the time. Is this an issue that should be covered by my extended warranty?

Hi Aryehsonnenberg,
Thank you for the reply!
We verified the image and I am thinking the same the spring might be loosen, if you are willing to check with reseat the spring, use the HMM manual. If the system is under warranty you can get it checked with service center.

I've just installed Lion, with the new functions like full-screen apps. I have a macbook unibody, there is about a year. My problem is that the Lion update had no effect on iPhoto. So stuff like the full-screen function is not an option in iPhoto. Why?

But I had no effect on iPhoto. How come? Alle the other apps like iTunes have the full-screen option - but not iPhoto.

You'll need to upgrade to iPhoto 11.

I have a cracked iPhone 6 screen. I just bought the phone, but not AppleCare. If I get my iphone screen replaced through apple how much do I pay and would it void my one year warranty with Apple?

To replace your phone's screen costs $109US and I don't see why having Apple replace the screen would void your warranty.

Dropped my iphone 4, the screen is not cracked, but does not turn on. how can i fix this?

I dropped my iphone 4 off my balcony. The screen is not cracked at all, but when it happened, the screen had discolored bars on it, and now it doesn't even turn on anymore. Is there any other solution other than buying another?

Try holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. If you are still having problems take it to and Apple store for repair.

My i pad has a white line going down screen.buts it not crack.how do i fix it

my i pad has a white line going down the middle, but its not cracked . how do i fix it ?

If a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears does not help, it needs a visit to the Apple store genius bar for testing be the techs.

HT4044 Part of my iPad(1st gen) screen display does not show,hence I can only see it partially.It was not dropped and neither is it broken. Any help as I was told it cant be fixed and i hv 2 replace with a new unit i.e. pay in full as warranty is over? HE

Part of my iPad screen display does not show. It was not dropped and neither is the screen broken. I was advised to see the local service provider for a diagnosis.
I had finally managed to find time to find a local service provider last week (not easy) and was disappointed to be advised of Apple's policy of one for one exchange i.e. they wont repair and said that i would have to replace with a whole unit. As my unit is no longer under warranty, it meant that I had to pay for the full price of a new unit!
I might as well have paid for the latest new unit but since my unit is only 2 years old at most, it would be a great waste of money.
How can this be? Does this mean apple's product is inferior and do not last since warranty is only for one year?
I sincerely hope there is a favourable solution otherwse my money is flushed down the drain.
HELP!!!

I was using my iPad last night, shut the power off and when I turned it on this morning 2/3 of the screen is not working. It looks like the pandalela picture. What is the answer to fix this; is this a screen issue or and electronics issues. Has anybody else experienced this?
