Small Grey Mark Appeared on Black Part of the Screen (near ear speaker)

I wonder if anyone can help me?
I am very fussy when it comes to my gadgets and keeping them cosmetically perfect from new, so when upgrades come etc I am able to sell on at the best price I can get.
I have a 3G and have owned it for about 3 months. I have kept the phone is a Incase Slider since new to stop the classic apple scratches on the back and the bezel. (I can't understand why Apple use such bad materials that scratch almost just by touching them!)
Has anyone noticed their iphone developing very small dust like marks on the top face by the ear speaker? Mine has one which is very very small but can't see what would have caused this, it's definately not a scratch, more of a very small grey bit that won't wipe off with the supplied cleaning cloth. It's very strange, it looks like a bit of dust but when you go to wipe it, it just stays there, I think it could be part of the black top screen is peeling perhaps.
Has anyone else found any weird looking marks that are don't seem to be on the outside of the screen?
As I said above, I'm very fussy and try very hard to keep my iphone is perfect condition, I've never put it in pocket with keys, money, credit cards etc etc so I'm baffled as to what this strange looking mark is? It's also way to high to be an earing etc.
Can anyone shed any light on this at all?
Thanks very much,
very fussy apple customer!!
Thanks

you should return the device to a nokia care center for inspection
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

I have a pornographic search title in the banner at he op of the page just below the bookmarks shortcuts icons. It appears when that part of the screen drops down a bit when the on screen keyboard opens up. Its a spam like link that won't go away.

I have a pornographic search line on the top banner of Safari just under the bookmark icons that appears whenever I open up the onscreen keyboard and the top drops down a bit. Don't know where it came from the iPad is only one day old brand-new. I've tried getting rid of this by resetting the entire iPad but that didn't work. The link if I click it opens up a Google page listing links to see videos. Need to know if there's any way to make this thing go away permanently.

You saved it on the bookmark bar. Hit bookmarks, bookmark bar, edit, then hit the minus to delete it.

I have the iPhone 5c, and earlier the black part of the screen lifted up from the white part, I was able to snap it back down. But is that normal? I'm a first time iPhone user so I'm freaking out!

I would really appreciate accurate answers to my questions!

No, that is not normal.
The iPhone is still under warranty. Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center and let them look at it and advise you about the next steps.

My ipad gets a black bar over part of the screen then freezes up, please help

Just today my 16gb ipad 2 ,bought in December 2011, started to get a black bar over part of the screen. Sometimes 3/4 of the screen sometimes 1/4 then it freezes up and will not do anything. If I try to reboot it I get a faint backlit only. Any help would be appreciated!

On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Toggle Documents & Data off then back on then restart your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
On the iMac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it then restart your iMac.

Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

Help!! Why is there a black part in the X when I try to delete my app? It's covering up the supposed to be white space around the X button

Try:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Since they all line up on the left site that could be a hardware problem or maybe a software glitch. I have never seen that problem posterd here before

Black plastic part under the screen is loose (MBA 11,6)

The black plastic part under the screen is a little loose. If you press with one finger you push it in and it will move a bit. Anybody else got this problem?

Hi, was it covered under your one year warranty, I opened my Macbook Air one day and heard a crack, when I looked in the back of the computer the hing had broken and something was hanging out of the back. When I tried to close it the screen turned green and then went off, so I took it to repair however was told it probably wasn't covered on the warrant. From googling the issue it appears that many other users have experienced the same thing. I'm assuming if enough users complain it will eventually become covered!

Slight scratches in the black part of the back

Hi,
being said in the subject I've got some slight scratches or rather abrasions in the black part of the back of the iPhone. Probably caused due to the cradle because they are all in the same line. Anyone expierenced the same? And is there a way to get them off?

I'm continually amazed at how much people are concerned about slight scratches to the iPhone. I know it's a great looking piece of kit, but it's bound to suffer some wear and tear given it's usage pattern. I'm reminded of the time I bought a new car and had sleepless nights when i found a small scratch on it. After a few months, it didn't really bother me that much.
The part you need to protect is the screen, which you look at all the time. It's pretty scratch resistant, but it makes sense to buy some sort of case to protect it when it's in your pocket with keys and/or pens. There are plenty of threads on the "best" case around.
If the scratches are a real bother, you can easily buy a replacement back cover from ebay for $15 at: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230212988581.
But note that doing this yourself will void the warranty.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

Is there another way to close apps other than deleting them from the multitask bar.....I have a small crack in the bottom of my screen and that part of the screen does not recognize the touch. :(

There's generally no reason to be closing them that way at all. The apps you see in the recents bar are just that, apps that you used recently. Most of them are doing absolutely nothing. The only apps that are really doing anything in the background are ones that play music and ones that are using location services. Just leave them be.
Best of luck.

I have an iPhone 5 and just recently when I get the camera button and it opens there is a black border around the screen and the screen is small and I don't know what I did to cause it or what to do to make it go away anyone help

First off, try a reset of the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if the problem persists.

I have bought my iphone 5 from UK and now residing in USA. Although my carrier (Ultra Mobile) provides 4G service i only get 3G speed. Also icon "3G" appears on top part of my screen. My model is MD297B/A. Pls suggest to enable 4G on my phone

It is more than likely the inability of the UK phone to support the US phone bands. You will probably be stuck with 3G and will never be able to get LTE. Also, your warranty is only good in the UK. You might be better of to try and sell that device to someone in the UK and purchase a phone in the US that you can get full service with.

If I do not select F11 ( full screen ) a big part of the screen "falls" of the right hand side of my monitor and is not readable, I am not able to find the neccesary adjustments.

Why is my internet search page gray? I am able to search a topic, but the 'results' part of the screen is a medium gray color and it won't respond. Any ideas?

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Part of the screen is white

This happened all of a sudden. Before I came home, my iPod Touch 4g was working fine. Its when I got home, the screen turned white. Its running on IOS 6.1.3 . Well, the bottom half of the screen. I have no idea what or how it happened.I tried using the hard reset but it didnt work. It still works the screen is still responsive, I can use app watch videos and listen to music. I just need to know how to fix it so the bottom part of the screen is not white and not make it a hassel. I want to know how this happened so me and others know what to do.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Part of the screen failing!

I have a big problem! I noticed that part of the screen is not accepting touch. It is a small strip along where the google tool bar is. This is a little anoying, I am also unable to press the d key when I am in wide screen using the key board. I also cannot change the wireless network. The picture on the screen is entirely visible. I am wondering what I should try or if I should just call apple and have them send me a box to repair it.

Well my first iPhone had three flashing pixels that stood out like a sore thumb. I brought it to a mac genius who got a kick out of it (not sure why it was funny) and then immediately swapped it out with a new one.
Well, my new one was great even though I decided to live with the 12 dead pixels it has...not all noticable all the time so I kept it. Fast forward a week and a half and now I have a complete dead spot on my iPhone. At first I thought it was software but the same spot is dead no matter what application is being used. I can't even express the disappointment that I have right now.
I've been an devout Apple fan for some time and was planning on picking up a new 24" iMac but the lack of Q.C. on the iPhone has put lots of doubt in my mind. Please help!! Do I try and get this story on the news? It'd be fun at least.....since I can't get any enjoyment out of my $645 (w/tax) phone!!
