Screen is frequently unresponsive to touch in movie play

Any suggestions.
Dan

FYI. I've chatted with Apple support online. They suggested I backup and restore using iTunes, which I've done already. SO to humor the tech, I did it again. If it doesn't work this time, then I need to bring it into an Apple store to be diagnosed and possible repair/replacement.
Hope this helps any readers with a similar problem

5S screen is occasionally unresponsive to touch, and interaction is sluggish. All since updating to iOS 8.

Ever since I updated to iOS 8, and all subsequent updates (currently running iOS 8.1.1) my iPhone 5S is considerably slower. Apps hesitate when I switch between them and sometimes crash entirely. Sometimes my screen is entirely unresponsive to touch and I have to tap numerous times before it works. I have restarted, i've done resets, I've backed up to the cloud, erased phone and restored from back up. The problems still persist.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Screen is frequently unresponsive?

Hi, my 32gb 2nd generation iPod touch's screen has been acting up. It will just not register my fingers tapping it or trying to slide something and after prolonged periods of time this becomes frustrating. The rest of the functionality has been good, as far as Ive noticed.

Sounds like your screen digitizer might be going bad.

Dropped my iPad2, didn't break but screen is now unresponsive to touch. help?

If it's been like that for a quite a while then try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to boot up properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up.
If not then try recovery mode and restore to your backup : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Unresponsive iPad touch screen

My iPad's touch screen randomly stopped responding to touch while I was using it. I found this strange because I had not dropped it or anything like that, and it had been working just fine. I first tried a reset and when that didn't work, I restored it. It is still unresponsive, so I was wondering if anyone had some suggestion as to what I could do next as the nearest Apple Store is not very close to where I live.

Does the iPad turn On OK?
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I have an iPod Touch on iOS 5.1.1 - the screen showed 'Activated Required' and was unresponsive. I plugged it in and restored it to factory settings, but the screen is still unresponsive. Says 'slide to set up' but I can't slide! Any help?

iPod first stopped updating/downloading apps, then shut down completely. Finally got around to plugging it into our home Mac and restoring it, which all seemed to go fine. However the screen is still unresponsive, I have tried turning it off and on again etc.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-)

Lower Half of Landscape Screen Unresponsive to Touch

Ahoy!
I'm writing a Landscape Orientation only app that doesn't display a status bar. I started by using the Utility Application template in XCode.
I've edited my info.plist and added the following entries...
{quote}
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
<key>UIInterfaceOrientation</key>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string>
{quote}
I've gone through and set Status Bar to none for FlipsideView.xib, MainView.xib and the Root View Controller in MainWindow.xib
I've set the following code in RootViewController.m, MainViewController.m and FlipsideViewController.m..
{quote}
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceO rientation {
// Return YES for supported orientations
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft) return YES;
if (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight) return YES;
return NO;
{quote}
And I've modified AppDelegate.m to change the orientation...
{quote}
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Override point for customization after app launch
\[\[rootViewController view\] setHidden:YES\];
\[window addSubview:\[rootViewController view\]\];
\[application setStatusBarOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight animated:NO\];
\[\[UIDevice currentDevice\] setOrientation:UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight\];
\[window makeKeyAndVisible\];
// Delay to allow views to rotate to ensure a smooth transition
NSTimer *timer;
timer = \[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.35
target:self
selector:@selector(showView)
userInfo:nil
repeats:NO\];
- (void)showView {
\[\[rootViewController view\] setHidden:NO\];
{quote}
Everything is working great. The views change nicely and will orientate in either direction.
My problem is that when I started laying out my User Interface, I discovered that MainView was somehow preventing me from clicking any buttons on the bottom half of the screen. I could place and click buttons above 160 px. I could click just the portion of the buttons above 160 px. But any button, or part of button, that exists below 160 px will not allow me to click it.
I've tried disabling/enabling the button.
I've tried hiding/unhiding the button.
I've tried moving the buttons up programatically, clicking them, moving them down programatically. No luck.
I'm beating my head against the wall.
It's like the bottom half of the screen is not available for touch events.
The Flipside View works perfect.
If I start with the Flipside view instead of MainView, FlipsideView will have the same problem and MainView works perfect.
I can put other controls in the lower half, like a label, and manipulate them without a problem.
I know the MainView starts off portrait and then flips to landscape. That's why I hid it in the Delegate Class. Since MainView is the default view that is loaded, and the problem transitions to FlipsideView if I switch that, I believe the problem must be in the initialization of the default view.
For the life of me I can't find it though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Bill

I have made a test project that illustrates this problem.
The link to download it is...
http://www.box.net/shared/dysb76lqtj
I set the RootViewController view to green, MainViewController view to purple and FlipsideViewController to maroon. I made just the changes I outlined above.
I then added a High and Low button to MainViewController and FlipsideViewController.
As you can see, when the MainViewController view is loaded, the background stops halfway down the screen but the buttons remain correctly placed.
Any ideas would be greatly welcomed!
Thanks!

Mirror zoomed-in movie playing on iPod Touch 5g to Apple TV via Airplay?

Is it possible to mirror a zoomed-in movie (1080p) playing on my iPod Touch 5g to the 3rd gen Apple TV via Airplay?
My Soniq TV doesn't have a zoom feature and I know that Apple TV can't zoom.
I want the movie to fill the entire screen of my TV (I don't mind cropping some of the edges off). I can zoom in on the movie playing on my iPod Touch 5g but when I enable airplay mirroring to the Apple TV, it reverts to the 1080p format with black bands along the top and bottom. I know it is using airplay and not mirroring to play the video on the Apple TV but I want to display exactly what's showing on my iPod Touch 5g on the Apple TV. Is there a work-around or an app in the App Store that enables this?

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night! Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze. When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen. None of the other videos I own will display either. Was your problem ever resolved?

My iPhone 5s Screen is Completely Unresponsive

I've read other issues with this, but none of them seem to sound quite like mine. I'm desperate for help right now!!!!
My phone is still relatively new - got it in December of 2013. I have never dropped it or "injured" it in any way, no water damage, nothing like that. It's in pristine condition.
Out of the blue a couple of days ago, the fingerprint scanner and screen just quit being responsive. Nothing happened to cause this. I picked up my phone to unlock it with the fingerprint ID like I usually would, and it didn't work. I have my phone password protected, so it brought up the keypad for me to enter my passcode. But the screen didn't work, so I couldn't enter it. The power slider doesn't work, the unlock slider doesn't work, NOTHING on the screen works, for any reason. The screen is 100% unresponsive.
My first instinct was to do a reset, so I held down the power and home buttons and reset it. The reset worked, but didn't fix the problem with the screen. I've tried the reset about 50 times now over the last few days in hopes that it will work at some point. But it does nothing.
Then I tested out Siri. Siri is completely 100% functional and responsive. So I know the phone system is working. I read that if I try to get Siri to launch an app, it will clear the "block" that might be on the phone. But of course she keeps telling me, "You'll need to unlock your iPhone first." So that doesn't work at all.
I also read that if I click the home button 3 times, that's supposed to fix it somehow. Nope.
I've also tried plugging it into different outlets, different computers, etc. Just in case that had something to do with it. That doesn't fix it either.
The screen just WILL NOT WORK. It makes no sense.
I went to the Apple store and they told me that they would have to do a restore, but I haven't backed up my phone since December 2013. I have SO much data that I can't afford to lose by doing a restore right away. And I have no way of backing up the phone right now because iTunes won't do it unless I unlock my phone, which of course I have NO way of doing. It's RIDICULOUS that I can't enter my password into the computer from iTunes or something. But noooo, it has to be on the phone, except the screen DOESN'T WORK, so I can't enter my password.
I'm desperate! I have tons of work texts, journals, notes, photos, etc. I realize now how stupid it was for me not to be backing up my phone frequently. I know, I know. Trust me, I'll never make that mistake again. And I don't use iCloud either. Please don't tell me I'm SOL.
Does anyone have ANY clue how I can get around the screen password so that I can still at least back my phone up before a system restore? Seriously, I CANNOT afford to lose 5-6 months' worth of data from my phone!!!! I HAVE to back my phone up, there MUST be something I can do???!!

I understand your logic; however, if it's hooked up to a recognized computer, I feel that I should be able to overcome this problem by entering my password into the computer. And if I go into an Apple store, I feel that they should be able to verify that the iPhone belongs to me and then get around the password requirement for me. It's ridiculous to think that *nothing* can be done in this situation.

Mac OS X Lion Server screen freezes frequently

I have recently purchased the Mac Mini Server with 8GB RAM Upgrade and have been experiencing screen freezes frequently. The Mac Mini is connected to a ViewSonic LED Monitor via an HDMI cable and is running Mac OS X Lion Server.
It all started a month ago and I suspected it was due to an external hard disk I had. When I removed it the problem didn't crop up for a few weeks. So I thought the issue was resolved.
Over the past week the problem re-surfaced again and nearly everyday I am experiencing screen freezing about five times a day and the only option is to power down my Mac Mini Server from the power button. This is becoming increasingly frustrating. When screen freezing occurs, everything freezes and I get some small rectangular boxes on screen moving.
The only things that have changed over the past week was that I installed the latest Safari fix and connected the Harman Kardon Sounsticks II to the Mac Mini.
Can't understand what is happening. From various threads I read, many mac users are experiencing screen freezes. If anyone has any resolutions please let me know.

Lion has a screen refresh bug it is just the screen going to sleep and the the screen updating only where the curser moves.
