Screen is ALL messed up and warped looking!

My Ipod always stays in a nice little case and I haven't even used it for the last two weeks but it's always in my purse.. and the last week or so, my purse has been in the car everyday. The only thing I can think of is that the heat (but it wasn't that hot) has messed it up but the screen is just weird and I can only see the bottom left corner and it is playing, but no sound is coming out. Do we really have a one year warrenty on this? I didn't pay extra for that. I got it in December.
Thanks!

Yes... the heat in a parked car in Louisiana in August can definately ruin an iPod (or almost any electronic device).
You have a warranty, but unfortunately this is certain to be considered by Apple to be abuse and thus not covered. Sorry. There are third-party iPod repair services available. Google 'ipod repair' and see what comes up. I see ipodresq recommended a lot on these forums.
Good luck.
Cheers!

I opened my laptop today and the bottom of the screen is all messed up and at the side there are like green, red lines...
why is it like this? (BY THE WAY, I USE AN HDMI CABLE TO EXTEND MY DISPLAY ON TO MY TV) Maybe that's why? I just remove the HDMI cable after I'm done -- there is no 'safe remove')

Illustrator bug- menu bar all messed up, and it keeps crashing

I have the weirdest bug on my trial version- the menu bar on top appears with $$$ signs and all messed up, and crashes constantly. I tried to delete and reinstall illustrator (I downloaded a trial version of the basic creative suite with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, but had the bug only on Illustrator. I even reinstalled Leopard (and in the first installation it was a brand new iMac), which also did not help, so I have no idea what to do. Has anyone else had the problem or knows what to do?
Thanks!
Dotan

i had continual illustrator cs4 freezes in relation to the menus and some file types as well. (win 7 prof 64 bit)
But I found it it worked in a newly created user profile fine.
After having shelled out 3500.- eur for the masters colletion, I was rather dissapointed to find that i have to dig into my pocket for support when the software breaks. The solution is pretty simple assumabley known and could have been answered in two lines of text instead of the useless prefab answers i got.
But first I have to join the general gripe about the stability of illustrator and flash in paticular. It is obvious that each product is created by different teams who do not share common standards. Inexplicable.
Quark never cared about their customers while they were market leader either, remember that, Adobe?
Their frustration became your success. It might pay to remember that part of your history.
I solved the problem by replacing the entire settings folder with the one from the functional profile
C:\Users\user-name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings
save any custom color sets, etc first.
three days of hair pulling for a 12 second solution.
Thanks, Adobe!
My motivation to pay another 1200.- for an upgrade is somehow shrinking very, very quickly.

The sound no longer works in my husband's iPad and it keeps shutting itself down. This started today. We checked all the settings and everything looks right. Is there something we might be missing?

Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

The iPhoto App can select all of the photos in the All Imported folder and delete them.

HT204074 Does anyone know if I purchase coverage/support through apple on my i-pad would it also cover my i-pod/I-tunes? My i-tunes library is all messed up and I want to know if I can wipe library clean, buy a new i-pad and start fresh? Cheers Lisa

Does anyone know if you can wipe your i-tunes library clean and buy a new i-pod and start fresh (purchase new songs). My i tunes library is all messed up and I just want to start fresh.

You purchase the extended AppleCare (or AppleCare+) warranty foe each specific device. It is not transferable to another device.
iTunes purchases are lock to the Apple ID that purchased them.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Xorg graphics are all messed up and glitchy (screenshots) How to fix?

I've set up a new system, but the graphics are super glitchy!
Here's what gdm (gnome) looks like when i enter run level 5 with an existing xorg.conf file:
and here's what it looks like without xorg.conf so settings are automatic:
With the first setup (xorg.conf included) there's no way to log in.
Without xorg.conf, you can see the loging windows and log in, and when you get to the desktop, the background remains all messed up just like at the login screen.
Any ideas what might be wrong? i'll be right back to post my xorg.conf

3Gs on iOS4.0.1, home screen spacing all messed up

Has anyone seen this? Even before I installed my jailbreak apps, the screen formatting was messed up. There is nearly no spacing between the first row apps names and the app icons on the second row. This goes all the way down, and leaves about an inch of space BELOW the dock bar (and thus it is no longer my DOCK bar) and the bottom of the screen. Also, the spacing between the home screen dots and bottom line of the apps names on line 4 and the dock screen is almost non-existent.
AGGGh

If other apps slow to a crawl and even phone use and keyboard entry gets erratic, double click the home button, tap and hold on one of the icons now revealed in multitasking mode until they jiggle. Then close the apps one by one to free up memory.
This is a kludge caused by the apps not cleaning up after themselves, and I dislike having do it multiple times a day, but without it I would waste even more time bringing the device back to Apple for a permanent fix. One can only hope.
Currently raging mad at Apple iOS4.02 for breaking the iPod playback of the 3GS via AV amp (Pioneer VSX-23TXH in U.S.). Trust totally lost. Never "upgrade" without a way back. Jailbreak suddenly looks desirable.
Just yesterday wife bought an iPad for me, still unopened. Feel like returning it as-is in the box and wait for the German designed WeTab (started as WePad earlier).

IPhoto folders are all messed up and my pics arent showing up correctly..

I tampered with the iPhoto folders...I renamed files and moved things around thinking I was organizing things.. but now my photos in iPhoto arent working correctly. Some photos show a thumbnail but dont open.. and all I get is a gray screen with an exclamation mark. Other photos open but at very poor quality.. around 32KB instead of the 1.6 MB that they should be!
What can I do to fix this problem?
Also, my computer seems to have 5 copies of all my photos. One copy that is the original... another that is smaller and then more random copies. How can I get rid of those copies.. I've got like 2,000 of them! Ahhh..
Somebody please help! Any suggestions??

Hi Diana,
#1 Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
#2 It seems you moved photos around and some thumbnail photos from the Data folder were put in the originals folder (photos open at 32k) and the ones missing (renamed by you). This is how it is supposed to be in the Finder;
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
There is no way to recover from this except to start over with just the original files. This would entail creating a new library, going through the old library and finding all the full sized images and deleting the thumbnail images
#3 Here are the instructions for creating a new library. BUT remember that in your case it is not as simple as importing the Originals folder again as you moved photos around and in and out of the wrong folders. You are going to have to find all the originals and delete the smaller thumbnails of the same name (unless the originals were overwritten by the thumbnails when you moved photos around because an image has the same name in all the folders (Data, Original and Modified).
close iPhoto
-drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
-launch iPhoto and create a new library
-double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
-the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
-the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
-Drag these two folders to the desktop
-If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
-If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
-If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
-If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
-the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

+ my screen is all dancing lines and it stays stuck on start up +

hello
my powerboog g4 ti yesterday, out of the blue, while it was on, switched to interpreting the desktop in lines and they just wiggle like crazy. i couldn't even see the cursor, there was no way of identifying anything so i shut i off via the power button. now it doesn't restart, it stays on the grey screen with the moving dial and the apple logo. the screen image seems shifted to the right and there's a blue portion on the left, so that the grey bleeds into the blue with the dancing lines. the logo gets this trail of dark gray pixels. all this is flickering and jumping. i got it to be normal when i moved the display - but now that doesn't even work.
it's an old operating system - bought in winter 2002 and never really updated it. it's been slowly dying - it's been acting up recently.
* i cross my fingers someone can help * thank you *

- Try resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes
- If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if it will make it visible so yu can restore the iPod. For recovery modes see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
