Section of touchscreen near top not responding

so when i drag my finger across the touchscreen from top to bottom, about a 1/4 way down the screen stops moving and nothing happens. If i continue to drag my finger down the rest of the screen it picks back up . it seems like there is a dead spot on the screen and i cant make any selections in that part of the screen without moving the page .... any thoughts ? I did a restore , but i don't really remember it doing this before i upgraded it to 2.0 ...
anyone ?

Same thing happened to me. I got mine a less than a week after it came out, I had to spend $627 on it and I was very content with the purchase at first. Later in november I bought the iMac no problems with that either. A year passed and the purchase was still a success then from one second to another the top fourth of the screen just became a dead spot for touch. I thought I had broken it but since it had no physical damages it couldn't of have been me. I took it in to the Apple store and they just switched it for me, less than 5 months after I got it replaced same problem happened except its half the screen this time. It leaves it completely useless because I'm paying $40+ for internet and all those features that i can't even use. Since I didn't agree to pay $60 per month for an unnecessary warranty that is honestly just apple taking your money I am without a phone. Now i am very loyal to apple, but their attitude towards resolving my problem telling me I have to buy a completely new phone that also means i have to get the new 3G plan is just mind blowing in a horrible way. I would think apple would take more care of their "precious" costumers. Very disappointed and today i'll say if apple doesn't start taking better care of their costumers with the country already struggling, they'll be coming up short with sales.

  • HT201412 I bought my I pad 3 2 days ago and the touchscreen buttons are not responding.  some voice is telling me to double click on the apps and then telling me what the app is!  I am not great with computers and so on - can anyone help???????  thanks!

    I bought an I Pad 3 2 days ago and updated to IOS 6 Software.  Was working fine until last night and now it is not responding to touchscreen but is instead a voice advising me to double click on my apps and then which explains them - like a tutorial.  Please help!

    Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

  • IPad2 not respond to touchscreen even after being reset

    I bought my iPad2 a couple of months ago and it has been working fine until one day the touchscreen started to not respond to my touch. The external buttons are all working fine, but I can't get it to unlock or do anything without it not responding. I have even tried resetting it by holding the lock and home button for 10/15 seconds, but that didn't help. Any suggestions?

    Did you hold both buttons at THE SAME TIME?  That's how you reboot an iPad.  Press and hold both buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding passt the swipe to shut down bar) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons.

  • IPhone 4S touchscreen not responding

    Software up to date.
    I am finding that my touchscreen often is not responding, particularly on certain letters when texting such as "a" & "w"...but it will also not respond when I touch the text icon to begin texting. It's driving me nuts.
    Is there a known fix for something like this?

    Standard troubleshooting steps are as follows:
    Power your iPhone off and on.
    No change, try a reset which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to a computer restart and does not affect any data or settings.
    No change, restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup.
    No change, restore your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
    If no change after the last step, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware problem. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

  • HT201406 iPhone touch display not responding near top of display

    Display is not registering touch near top of display. I thought it was a problem with apps but I've noticed that this also happens in multiple apps and safari etc. Does anyone have any ideas on the cause of problem or what I should do. I've done a hard reset etc. I forgot to add AppleCare+ when I purchased phone in November.

    It's still covered by your one-year warranty. It can be replaced for free at the Apple Store, if the Genius can reproduce the issue.

  • "not responding" message across the top of mozilla several times a day and my entire computer lags when I receive that message.

    about two to three weeks ago mozilla started to lag on occasion with the "not responding" message across the top of the browser. it would freeze while i was playing facebook games or while i was watching youtube videos or just trying to scroll down a page, so i used my laptop less and less hoping the rest period would help stop it from lagging and from not responding. now that i have uninstalled useless programs and freed up hard drive space it is still lagging a lot. i even updated to 9.01 and updated the plug-ins that i use and it still lags.

    Have you recently upgraded is so i suggest you run it in safe mode first.
    Below is an example

  • Firefox4 keeps haning on first page , and shown not responding at top of page.had to install 3.6.16 to get firefox to work.(no virusses/mall/adware etc. found, amd explorer worked fine) how can i get ff4 to work properly again (like it did for two weeks)

    When i open FF4 the first page opens(google search).
    the when i go to, lets say gmail, it will open but when i try to look at an e-mail, it won't load.In the bar at the top of the screen a msg shows (in Dutch) saying" firefox reageert niet" (firefox is not responding).
    All I can do is close FF and when I start it again it opens with a window asking me to start a new session or open the latest session.
    No matter what choice I make the outcome is the same. I can open 0ne page , and then get the same msg as before.
    I ran several anti virus programs as well as Mall and Spy-ware killers,restarted the computer, started the computer from a point in the past, nothing helped.
    As this went on I was able to use Explorer.
    As a last resort I re-installed FF3.6.16
    Now everything seems to work again.
    But in the two weeks I worked with FF4 it worked really nice, therefore I'd really like to be able to to use FF4

  • Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether even refusing to react to Task Manager "End Program@ command. The "not responding@ error message also comes up during navigation on line.

    Firefox is very slow to respond when opening and nearly always stops responding altogether, even refusing to react to the Task Manager "End Program" command. The "not responding" error message also comes up during navigation on line. Several attempt have to be made to get on line. A loss of stability seems to be endemic at the moment.

  • Has anybody else been seeing (Not Responding) at the top of the screen and having thier browser not respond to wheel scrolling and scrolling with the usual slider at the right part of the screen?

    I have noticed my Firefox browser is having way too many incidences where it is "Not Responding". The browser freezes up for a second quite often and the "Not Responding" message will appear at the top of the screen.
    The browser will also not scroll with either the scroll bar on the right nor with the mouse wheel. Both used to work in previous versions of Firefox, but it seems to have gotten worse since Firefox 5 0r 6. The same with the "Not Responding". It is happening more with Firefox 7 than in at least the past two versions.
    Anybody else having these issues? Seems like they are hand-in-hand. Thanks for any and all help or advice. It's making me pretty angry since I'm online all day for work.
    Just an FYI. At the bottom of my troubleshooting copy/paste is a suggestion to update the driver for my graphics. That was a no-go. I tried that.

    Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
    One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
    Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

    Both systems are running Win XP SP2 and are behind 'walled gardens' on our LAN, a private sub-net of workstation computers with no internet access (we have office computers for browsing and e-mail).
    While the two PCs are very similar, note that sound and video cards are different. Also system 2 does not yet have a Blu-ray writer.
    System 1 works great with all of the Adobe apps.
    System 2 experiences lengthy 'hangs' upon launch of several Adobe apps, including PhotoShop, Acrobat and, to a lesser extent, Premiere. What exactly happens is upon launch, on system #2, PhotoShop loads to the workspace, but hangs just as the palettes are being created. Time to this point, 3 seconds. Then, 60 seconds passes. The application's status in Task Manager changes to Not Responding. More time passes. Then the application comes back to life and is responsive again.
    On system #1, PhotoShop is ready to use in 3 seconds following the command to launch. The 90-second delay/hang does not occur.
    Logical deduction would suggest that the possible culprits are the video or sound card, these being different.
    I also note that when recording and playing audio in other applications, like SoundForge and WinAMP, momentary pauses or gaps in the audio playback and recording are noted. It takes about 30 minutes of listening to encounter one such hiccup. It was also discovered that during recording, samples were dropped, during an hour-long studio recording session. There is something not quite right with system #2.
    I was curious if anyone found a correlation between the Auzentech sound card and similar behavior where the app hangs and stops responding. Or anyone with the FX4600 graphics card having this problem?
    What could PhotoShop, Acrobat and Premiere be doing during startup that is resulting in the apps to stop responding for a while, then return to responsive state? I have been going nuts for 4 months troubleshooting and trying to fix this problem, with no results. I've turned off nearly every Windows service, checked Adobe preferences between the two machines, speed tested the RAID 0 arrays and system drives--all seems well--in fact, the 2nd workstation has faster hard drives than the first, so maybe it is a problem with some exotic timing issue where the data is available to PhotoShop too soon and it gets confused and hangs up for a while? I'm at a loss!

    I don't like the way OpenType looks on screen. I know it has some advantages, like a larger character set, but the hinting, or lack thereof, makes low resolution imagers like screens and inkjet printers produce less than great output. And my investment in Adobe fonts is in the many thousands of dollars, purchased back around 1991. I prefer PostScript fonts by a wide margin over OTF and TTF.
    WRT audio card, I removed the drivers, and installed RC8, the current version, but that did not help. I did note something curious though: rebooting with no audio drivers shaved 30 seconds off the boot time! The blue 'loading your personal settings screen' that usually stays up for 35 seconds, was there for 5 seconds then right to the desktop. It was the fastest I've ever gotten to the desktop on this machine. Once I installed RC8 drivers, the loading time became long again.
    I can be certain there's no file fragmentation problems. The temp drive has about half a terabyte of free space on it, and in fact, of the 2TB of system storage, only about 10% is in use (new system).
    But the latency is really noticeable with Sony SoundForge 9. Start playback and the wait can be anywhere from 1-3 seconds before play begins!
    On the other workstation with the TurtleBeach Montego DDL, playback is instant when I hit Play. Never a delay that's perceivable. I just don't like the way the Auzentech works. It may even be responsible for the problems I had with Premiere CS4, which I gave up on in March after a concerted struggle to solve the playback issues there. But I seem to be not the only one suffering with that anomaly. Though my underlying feeling is that something is not right with this system's hardware combination. One or more peripherals is just not playing well with the software, I suspect.

  • The top row of the keyboard of my iPhone 4S, in the password screen, is not responding to my fingers. How do I fix this?

    iPhone 4S
    IOS 7.1.2
    This problem occurred after a whole days use of the iPhone without any hitches. I first discovered the problem by unlocking the phone and then swiping to the password screen to find that the top row was not responding to my fingers at all. Because of this I could not type in my password to unlock my phone. I then tried to restore my phone but could not because it needed the phone to be unlocked. I then tried holding down the home and sleep button at the same time until it turned off and on again, but this did not fix the problem. I also tried switching on the Voice Over mode on and trying to unlock the phone through that but of course it didn't work. I have also left it overnight but I was still unable to unlock the phone the next day. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • Why does my Lightshop 5.6 hangs on opening with "not responding" at top of screen.

    I managed to use the programme for the first time after original install. Next day it just hung on opening with the panels all their on screen but with the splash screen still centre and "not responding" at top of screen. I am totally new to Lightroom and set it up using Scott Kelby's book Lightroom 5 everything appeared to set up properly. I uninstalled the programme and reinstalled exactly same thing has happened. Is their a maximum caralog size that is usuable, mine is 2.7TB and is on one of the desktop's 3 discs.
    Advice please, thanks

    No, but try terminating and restarting Safari:
    1. Press the Home button
    2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
    3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
    4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
    5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

  • Touchpad touchscreen problems (erratic behavior/not responding correctly/etc) temporary solution.

    I bought a HP Touchpad about a month or two after it came out. It worked pretty much as you'd expect it to until some time ago. I started getting a problem where the screen would go crazy and not respond correctly to my touch inputs. Web pages would jump all over the place, cards would zoom out, etc, in other words, they would behave erratically. After some testing I noticed that certain areas  of the touchscreen would NOT respond at all to inputs while others would make the screen go crazy like I mentioned previously. I looked for information on the web to see if other people where having the same problem and found reports of the same behavior. Unfortunately there where no solutions offered. At that point I tried turning on and off the Touchpad which did not resolve the problem. My next step was to try to reinstall the OS with WebOS Doctor, but I read a post where the user reported similar behavior and reinstalling with WebOS Doctor didn't fix the problem. Needless to say I was bummed out since I figured it was a hardware problem with the touchscreen. After more testing I found a temporary solution to the problem which seems to suggest that the probem could be software. The solution when you get the problem is to hold down the power button and the home button at the same time and keep them pressed until the screen shuts down and the touchpad restarts. Once the OS comes back up it works like it is supposed to until you get the next episode of screen epilepsy. At that point you need to do the procedure again and it will fix the problem temporarily. Usually the fix lasts for a few days in my case. The fix also solves other problems I have with the touchpad. Problems like, videos not playing fluidly or freezing every few seconds although the sound plays fine (youtube), sound gets messed up (sounds are played in a robot like pitch), and others. If anybody has questions or other suggestions let me know, I will answer the as best as I can.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    I think the YouTube and sound problems are separate from the other erratic behaviour.  Recently my touchpad won't play YouTube videos beyond certain points, starting a few seconds in possibly due to the advertising pop-ups - I can skip forwards, but that means I miss crucial parts.  My sound also goes 'robot-like' until a reboot, which is incredibly annoying!  Your touchscreen problems may be specific to your device - try going to Device Info / Diagnostics and see if that tells you anything.
