The display screen on my iphone changed suddenly last night.

now looks like an exposed film negative.  can this be fixed?

Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

  • How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone?

    Hi,
    I loose things, including phones and keys...
    To prevent a worst case scenario: How to display your email and a message to finder on the lock screen of an iPhone? (6 plus, current iOS)
    That is, I assume most people finding an iPhone would want to try to contact me to give it back to me, if they know how: how can leave my contact information in the phone? This needs to be on the lock screen, naturally, as this is the only view the finder can see. It would be useful to be able to add a message of sorts a la "if found please call my wife ### or email me ###".
    How can this be done other than editing the JPG of the wallpaper, or sticking a business card to the back of the phone (these are the only solutions I came up with, there must be something better).
    Cheers!

    Greetings _daniel_, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It seems like you'd like to display a message on your iPhone 6 Plus in the event it is lost. Good news--you can do this with the Find my iPhone feature of iCloud.
    Check out these links for more information:
    iCloud: Set up iCloud
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.
    Cheers, 
    Jeremy

  • Can we change the Home screen Background for iPhone 5C

    Can we change the Home screen Background for iPhone 5C

    I would assume that the home screen image and the lock screen image would be changed 100% the same way all other iphones change them in the settings

  • My iPhone went through the wash. It works but the display screen is still black.

    My phone seems to work but the display screen is still black.

    I'm sorry to hear that. If the display isn't working you can take the phone somewhere to see if they can fix the display.
    I would honestly take it to Apple and get it swapped out for a new iPhone. It will cost you money because liquid damage is accidental so it wouldn't be a free switch out they would charge you for an out of warranty price. That is the best way. The only reason they switch out the iPhone is because liquid damage in unpredictable of what it damaged.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201272 The screen on my iphone has suddenly become very sensitive and mutes all the time?

    The screen on my iphone has suddenly become very sensitive and mutes ny calls all the time I know there was a bug fix but don't know how to find it?

    If your screen is flickering, you might have a hardware issue there. I would take Macie to the doctor and have her checked out.

  • Help iPad data extending beyond the display screen borders.

    Hello, iPad data extending beyond the display screen borders. Model MC770LL/A OS7.1(11D167) I have performed a hard reset and it did not appear to make any changes. I have an iPad2 with no issues and compared General settings to making them the same. Preformed hard reset no change. General, Accessibility, Zoom = off, some game applications for this iPad cannot be used because the application extends beyond the usable screen border.

    spread your first 2 fingers apart and place them on the iPad, now pinch them together
    does this help?

  • How can I get more of my persona to show at the top of the display screen?

    Before downloading the newest Firefox, my persona at the top of the display screen showed at least 1/2 of the firefox. Now it's only the ears. How do I show more of it? Stupid question, I know, but it's bugging me.

    You can add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.

  • Any idea when apps will be updated to utilize the new screen size on iphone 5?

    any idea when the apps will be updated to utilize the new screen size on iphone 5?

    Don't know what "the apps" are; they won't happen all at once. It will happen for an individual application when the developer chooses to make a new version available.

  • My garageband can't be used because when I open a project (new or old) the program extends beyond the bottom of the display screen and I can't access what is below the bottom of the screen (like the record button).  I know there's a simple fix, but what?

    two things to try: either click the green "zoom" bottom at the topLeft of the window in the title bar, or go to your System Prefs and then Displays, and increase the resolution that is used
