:( The bottom half of my iPod is now fully blank :(

Yeah. It was in my pocket but when I drew it out, there it is. The bottom half of the screen is gone, but everything else works absolutely fine. What am i gonna do now?

I had the same problem. The bottom half of my screen was illuminated, but blank. When I turned the nano on, a hazy barcode looking image (hence my screen name) appeared in the bottom half of the screen. Then it turned blank. Everything else worked.
Only yesterday, I took my nano to Apple's store in Soho (that's downtown Manhattan) and exchanged it for a new one. No argument. No discussion of a warranty. Just polite, friendly service. A word of advice. Apple's "Geniuses', as they are styled, require "appointments". You can sign up online at home. When you arrive, you must sign in and wait to be called. I didn't have an appointment, so I made one. Fortunately, it was for only one hour later. I appeared at the appointed time, had to wait around 30 to 40 minutes, and then received friendly, professional service. The brand new nano was exchanged for my old one, right then and there.
Another word of advice: Refer to the problem as a "screen anomaly". I read a message from another poster who telephoned Apple tech support and spoke with several tech reps. They referred to the problem as a screen anomaly. It may help. Good luck.

  • Help! I have a flickering white screen but I can still turn on my IPod Touch! It is a white flickering but the bottom half of the screen is unseeable. How do I fix it?

    Try the follwing to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have a problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Touchs creen on the bottom half not working

    i have a strange probglem on my phone and the bottom half of the screen wont work and the top half will, i cant answer any phone calls i cant open the ipod or anything on the bottom i wish i had put them on the top rows now and the top rows will move about so i can turn it off but the moment i lock my phone the only way i can access it again is if it tiurn it off and on again, thank god the turn off thing is on the top lol, its a stupid problem to have but has anyone ever had somehing like this? could it be solved with a restore? this would be a great time for the springboard to be able to switch sides. maybe 3.0 will fix it?

    thanks for your replies, its good to know im not the only one who has had or having this problem.
    i will try a restore, im trying to avoid this because i have app store apps i dont have saved in itunes after i had to format.. but if it makes my iphone work its definatly worth trying.
    i think its still under worranty if the restore does not work putting to dfu mode and restore, ill take to store see if they can replace it. but hopefully by then ill be able to buy a new iphone maybe get the 16gb..
    thanks will post results if it works

    Hi, I see I haven't had any responses but these problems haven't been fixed.
    I still haven't been able to transfer purchases from my phone to my comp so consequently have stopped purchasing on my phone.
    I bought a couple of albums recently via itunes on my comp, and tried to tranfer them to my phone via a playlist, but the sync often crashes. One album transferred except for one song, and the other hasn't at all. What happens is that when I autofill from a playlist it often hangs for ages on the first song and then I have to quit the application altogether as nothing happens for ages. Basically, the whole Itunes software freezes. 
    After this I find it hasn't transferred any songs, but they do appear greyed out on my phone, which means it has transferred some basic data such as the titles, but not the song itself. When I try to repeat the process to complete the transfer Itunes tells me that it can't transfer because the songs are already on the phone, but they are not!! I can't click or remove on the greyed out items, so now I have a couple of almost full albums on my computer that I can't tranfer or install on my phone, and a whole bunch of greyed out songs on my phone that I can't play or remove!
    The rest of the problems as above still stand. I downloaded the latest itunes OS updates but nothing's changed. I haven't done the very latest iphone update yet though because it says you need to make sure your stuff is backed up, and I don't want to lose the purchases I made on the phone that I can't transfer to my comp. I'm planning on uninstalling itunes completely and reinstalling but I have little faith that this will fix the issue.
    Can someone please help at all?? I'm so sick of this!

  • The bottom button on my iPod 4g is stuck in the down position.

    The bottom button on my iPod 4g is stuck in the down position.  It does not come up at all so I can't play or exit anything.  Any ideas on how to get this unstuck?

    You can try the suggestions in the previous discussion.  However, since your iPod is still within its warranty period, make sure you do not so something that voids the warranty.  Why not make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store?

    Apple also offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair", which pays for an exchange at a discounted price.

  • Why did my Firefox window minimise to half size, with the bottom half of the screen showing the window underneath the Firefox one?

    Today the bottom half of my Firefox browser window just drew up to the halfway point on my screen, and will not maximise again. I tried taking Windows back to a point 2 days ago, but the problem remains.

    Not sure what happened, but the problem disappeared by itself.

  • I have read all of the discussions about headset echos, my echos are heard by the caller when i hold the phone by the bottom half. The echo disappears  when I change my hold position.  Anybody else having this problem? Fix?

    Don't hold it like that. You're creating an 'echo chamber' due to the position of your hand/neck/face. It's not a technical issue. I hear this when I talk to my wife and she cradles the phone against her shoulder.

  • The bottom half of my trackpad stopped responding to touches.

    The bottom half of my trackpad stopped responding to touch.  The button still works fine, a USB mouse works fine, and the top half of the trackpad works fine.  Any ideas of what the problem could be?

    I have the same problem.  My clicking works but I cannot drag.

  • On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches long and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my computer dying or being hacked

    On the top left of my computer screen there are what look like the bottom half of small grey and white squares stacked on top of each other. They form a line about three inches horizontally along the top and they cover half of the regualr bar (so half of the apple sign int he corner is covered) and I cant seem to get rid of them.  Is my hardrive crashing or being hacked?

    I have never seen DEVELOP on the menu bar for Safari, hence my query regarding testing. 
    What OS are you using and what version of Safari?
    If you want to check your HDD, Open Disk Utilities>First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    The only remedy that I can think of that may work is an OS reinstall.
    I seriously doubt that your MBP is being hacked.

  • I changed the drive letter on my iPod and now iTunes won't recognize it!

    Help please! I contacted an Apple associate and they told me to change the drive letter of my iPod in My Computer. I did that and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod at all and I can't change the drive letter back to the original one. What do I do?

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
    Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
    Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
