Screen dead; second still scratched after using inCase, etc

I really don't care that Apple falsely advertiseded the nano ("This is what pockets were made for"); what - scatching the heck out of electronic devices? I don't care that I am now on my second nano, and it looks no better than te first, after investing in those "third party protective covers" that were suggested. I own Zcovers, and inCase. What really bothers me is that the unit seems totally unrersponsive. Dead screen. "Do Not disconnect" warning continually displayed, and when I unplug it, the screen still will not "back light", but I get a message "It is OK to mdisconnect". This is a useless toy. I program with Visual Basic. If I ever wrote a program with this many defects, I would be fired.

3)"Do Not disconnect" warning continually displayed
I don't use my Nano on my PC. I only use my iPods and nano on my PowerMac. But I do on occassion use my PC for USB stuff and I never just unplug the device. You have to unmount it.
If you get this message, it means that songs are being updated. You cannot just unplug a device, you must unmount it... so next time it will be recognized again. This is a USB problem. Not Apple or SONY problem
Probably the dead screen is because if you don't use the new iPods for a period of time, it goes into some kind of sleep mode. You just need to press the top (menu) button and it should awake after the Apple logo. Maybe about 10-15 seconds.

  • IPhone6 Screen dead, phone still on

    Has anyone had the experience of having their iPhone 6 screen just turn off and not turn back on while the phone was still working (still buzzes for texts, etc.)?  I definitely did not drop the phone or get it wet.  What should I do about this?
    Thanks!!

    Hello ScreenFix,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
    Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
    If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
    If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
    If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
    Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

  • MacBook Pro screen does not turn on after using external display?

    Hello,
    I am using a 15 inch MacBook pro from mid 2012. At work I connect it via mini-display port to an eternal monitor. Recently however, sometimes after I go home and try to turn the laptop back on, it turns on, but the screen does not. If I connect it to another external monitor, it uses that as the default display. Sometimes I can just restart the laptop and everything is fine, other times I have to turn it back on while holding the shift key in order for the laptops built in display to be used.
    After work, I unplug the mini-display port, and then power off the laptop.
    Can anyone help me understand why this may be happening so I can prevent it from happening again?
    Thank you.

    Try a smc reset:

  • Label item still exist after using $x_Hide

    Hi, im totally new in APEX, and currently is doing some experiment using API. Hopefully i can get some hand here.
    I have 2 item, a checkbox and a radiogrup. The purpose is when i click the check item, the radiogrup is shown and hidden (uncheck). I put the code in checkbox's 'HTML Form Element Attributes' :
    onClick="if (this.checked) {$x_Show(P1204_ISCATPRICE)} else {$x_Hide(P1204_ISCATPRICE)}".
    It works, but only for the elements of radiogrup, the label is still there.
    Any assistant will be great. thx.

    ah, i found it out
    onClick="if (this.checked) {$x_Show($x_UpTill($x(P1204_ISCATPRICE), 'TR'))} else {$x_Hide($x_UpTill($x(P1204_ISCATPRICE),'TR'))}"

  • Can't disable auto screen brightness on M92z even after using power manager

    I find the auto screen brightness annoying and have been trying to disable it.  When I go into power manager and turn off "auto" it works, but once I reboot, it's back on again.
    I've gone into the sensor section of power manager and disabled the sensor but that too does not stick.  I've also checked that "magic brightness" setting as well.  Nothing seems to stick after a reboot.  Things work until I reboot.
    I have installed the latest power manager, but 2 things seem strange.  website says latest version is 3.40.0002 but when download and install that version it reports 3.40.0001 (notice the 1 vs the 2).  Also in control panel it says power manager 32 bit but my OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

    Alright, so this is ridiculous. Back to square one with nothing booting. I managed to get it booted up once fully, and another time booted off the OS10.3 disc (froze during disk repair in Disk Utility).
    I don't have another hard drive to try, and I've taken it apart and reset everything.
    Any ideas?

  • Master password still required after using: chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul

    I'm asked on a fairly regular basis for my master password, except I don't recall having set one up. I've completed the steps outlined in: chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul. Preferences show no tick mark for master password, but I am being asked for it just the same.

  • Bookmarks are saved yet after using the page icon is still displayed instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display".

    My bookmarks, on a HP Pavilion dv-7-2273cl notebook, are saved yet the page icon is still displayed after using the bookmark instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display" without any success. This problem is not experienced on my much older Gateway desktop.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Hello pichastos,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

    Take care,

  • My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    My classic video ipod won't switch back to regular video mode after using it on an elliptical. The port still allows me to charge and works on the elliptical and treadmill but it will no longer change modes to allow me to watch my shows on the ipod screen

    From the iPod's Main Menu choose Videos -> Settings and make sure TV Out is set to Off.
    Otherwise, try a hard reset as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Elements 10, windows 8, 64 bit, epson artisan 835 printer: prints are really dark even after using enhancements like adjusting lighting. Prints are darker than photoshop edit screen. Prints are acceptable using paint, windows photo viewer, or gallery.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

  • My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode after using my "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter." How can I fix this?

    My MacBook screen is stuck in "presentation" mode (I don't know the correct term) after using my Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter - meaning the screen fonts and windows are larger than usual. How can I fix this? I've changed the display settings to modify it a little, but it still doesn't look right. I reinserted the adapter numerous times and restarted my computer, it still hasn't worked. Help!

  • My iphone 5 screen is black but touch works and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do?

    and i can screenshot but screen is still black after restore what should I do, could it be a loose cable in the phone under the metal shield?

    Hello Dopeslayer242,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if I only saw a black screen.
    I recommend following steps 2-6 below for an issue like this:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • Dead-pixel or scratched screen?

    I just got my new MBP 13" 2012 and this is what I see right in the middle of the LCD. It has a rainbow color effect when viewing at different angles on a white background. It does not show on a black background giving reason that it might not be a dead-pixel (off state) after all. Is this then a scratch/crack on the LCD screen?
    (*) Sorry about the upside down pictures...

    Take it back, you have a defective model, it happens.

    hello sir my iphone screen turns off after using 2-5 minutes what would be the problem please help me out

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
