Screen Intermittently Does not Respond
iphone 6+ and i love it!! But i noticed, intermittently, the screen does respond to taps. I have to restart the iphone and it starts working. Anybody else seeing this issue?
Hello f0rgiven,
So it sounds like the iPhone responds normally, but after a while it may stop responding. Does that mean the home and sleep button stop responding too?
If it's just the tapping that sometimes stops, please go through this article,
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
If the iPhone freezes up totally, then check this out.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Note there is a section for Buttons and Switches there.
Best regards,
Nubz

Apple iPAD 2. Needs password to unlock iPAD; however there is a permanent keyboard displayed on the screen that does not respond to touch. iPAD switches on with button but does not turn off using it at moment. Can you help please?
Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. See if that clears the glitch.

I have areas of my iPad screen that does not respond to touch. Is that normal? The areas are random and not always in the same place. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Have you tried rebooting it by holding the home and on button until the Apple logo appears?

Three times in the past couple of months my Tungsten E2 has appeared with a lit, completely blank screen. It does not respond to the On/Off button nor to resetting, either soft or hard. This is true whether nor it is connected to its charger.
By accident I discovered that I can recover by letting power run down. Eventually it shuts down. I then connect it to its charger; it recharges and recovers. All I lose, so far as I know, is the date and time.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for preventing this from happening in the future or for an easier and quicker way to recover.
Thanks,

ps. I realize that there are several similar messages on these boards, but I didn't find any suggestions that worked for me.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2Are you sync'ing the new device to the same username in Palm Desktop as an older device?
If you are, this will cause problems on the new device. When you sync the device, it saves the device settings, 3rd party apps, preferences, etc. in the backup folder in the username folder on the PC. When you sync the new device it copies the contents of the backup folder for the old device to the new device. This will cause corruption in the settings for the new device thus causing erratic behavior of the new device.
If you are, you may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.

XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.

when i open safari, it opens with a highlighted screen and does not respond
So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

I changed to Mozilla Firefox from Internet explorer months ago. Very pleased with features, service, etc. A couple of weeks ago, I got an update message while doing some work but did not install the update at the time. Another update message came up with an accompanying, confusing note indicating some dangerous possible consequences if I did not install the update.
A few keystrokes later and my screen seemed to go haywire, and my laptop would not respond to my cursor. I shut down. When I restarted and went to the Firefox shortcut icon a tiny (1"x 1/4") replica of part of the normal Yahoo!/Firefox screen appeared and continues to do so each time I attempt to use Firefox. I'm now back to Internet explorer. HELP me get back to using Mozilla.Right-click on the Firefox image in that little Firefox window and see if '''Maximize''' is available in that context menu. If so, click on Maximize.
To be clear, Yahoo!/Firefox is a modified version of the official Firefox program and may have faults that aren't in the official version. -
My iPad Mini has a black screen and does not respond to anything.
I got my iPad Mini 6 days ago, and this morning I woke up to it overheating (to a point which any contact with it, or the case) was painful. Along with this overheating, the screen was and still is black. The iPad is not responding when I try to turn it on, off, hard reset it, etc.. It has not been taken off charge in approximately 6 hours, so I highly doubt lack of battery is a reason.
HElp, please. And thank you in advance.Time to make an appointment with Apple.

ipod does not respond when i press the sleep/wake button.
it only comes on when plug in to power supply or using the resetting method (pass and hold the sleep/wake & vol down button).
tried restoring and after restoring, ipod screen hangs, does not respond at all. same for sleep/wake button...
lost! can someone help pls!Hello Ryan,
Since it sounds like you have already tried all the usual and available troubleshooting techniques, I would make a trip to your local Apple store/Genius Bar and have them take a look at it. Your iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty that cover any defects (but not accidental damage!).

Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black. Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything. Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously. Has anyone had this problem? I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.
Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department. Her suggestions: change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers. So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue. It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more. Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department. Make them aware of this problem! -
My Safari screen is grayed out. It does not respond to touch. How can I restore it back to life?
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. then hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep button and home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears (takes about 10 seconds) - ignore the red slider.

Flashplayer pop up box "Requesting permission to store info on my computer" does not respond and will not go away. How do I get rid of it. It is most annoying as it stays right in the middle of the screen.
Move cursor onto video. Right click. Click Settings, Click the "never ask again" box. Then click Close. That will work.
For some reason, that always worked for me, but in the last two days, it does not work, and it seems to freeze on the
video. See, if it works for you. -
My Ipad is not responding. It has the small apple in the middle of the screen with the little "thinking" flower symbol surrounding it, and does not respond to restoring. We received an error message when trying to restore from itunes.

Feedback screen does not respond to input
I have a probklem with the new Firefox 9 upgrade (none of the images are shown in my yahoo emails, they are all blocked. I have tried everything that has been suggested in the forums re Page Info, etc etc, but none of it has helped.)
I tried to send a message about this problem to Mozilla via their Firefox Feedback screen using the option for those "not happy", but the screen does not respond at all to any input you type in. You can hit "Submit Feedback" as often as you like, but nothing happens!
