The iphone screen

Hi, I've seen many videos on youtube on how iphone screens break and internally the touch screen still works and all . I'd like to know if the glass is merely a protection for the insides of the iphone and if possible, if broken, nothing wrong will happen to the touch screen mechanism, and the iphone would just require a screen /lcd replacement.

Why do you ask? Is yours broken -- or are you planning to break it for some reason?
As said above, there are different "degrees of broken". My daughter had an iPod Touch which got a broken screen. She reported it still worked -- mostly. She since passed it on to a friend and has a 3GS.

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

    Try to Restore on different computer with current iTunes. If still problem after Restore, then make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

  • Is the iPhone screen contrast adjustable?

    Is the iPhone screen contrast adjustable? I'm not talking about brightness. My screen shows shadowy horizontal (in portrait mode) stripes. I can still read the screen, but it is generally washed out, with the prominent stripes. Playing with the brightness doesn't help much.

    I opted to send mine (well my wifes) in, in the past.
    Call 1-800-MY-IPHONE
    Tell them the problem.
    They will ship you a box (prepaid to send back) with all the materials needed to ship back.
    You will be told to take the SIM card out (they will even send paperclip to help). Then pack up (they even send tape) and send back.
    You can put your SIM into any other phone that uses SIM cards and use it while yours is getting fixed/replaced.
    Once they get it, it is like a 1 day turn around. Ship, repair/replace, ship back took me just 3 days. Your experience may vary.
    Be sure to really explain the issue. I would even include a note in the box back explaining it in case the service notes the tech writes are not clear enough.

  • What does mean the itune icon with a cable in the iphone screen?

    what does mean the itune icon with a cable in the iphone screen?

    I'm having exact same problem. I was installing the latest ios7 update (to fix some Facetime bug that I don't have) and this happened. I noticed in some other posts on similar problem to hold down the sleep and on buttons at the same time and tried that. No change. Then I plugged it into my laptop and it said it was in recovery mode. I'm now in the process of restoring the software.
    I really hope I haven't lost all my contacts, notes, and photos.

  • After I upgraded iPhone4 to iOS5.0.1, the iPhone screen was shown a picture which request me to connect it to iTunes.  I can do nothing on my phone includes dialing emergency call.

    After I upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone screen was locked and it has shown a picture which requested me to connect my iPhone to iTunes.  My iPhone can do nothing now. 
    I've tried to deleted my iTunes and downloaded the latest version.  However, when I plugged in my iPhone4, the plug-in sound is different from before and it cannot be detected by iTunes. 
    Please kindly help.

    So whenever you plug the iPhone into the USB port your computer doesn't recognize it???? At all?? Can you check on the hardware of your pc if by any chance is the USB being detected; like it will appear and then diss connect  from the pc, just to check and make sure that something is changing, of nothing occurs I will doubt on the cable, you can get one and then return it if it's not the case.
    If it is detected then did you backup the iPhone? If so you may need to rollback the change.
    Please try!
    Good luck
