The right side of my iPhone 5S screen isn't sensitive to touch?

It was in the rain for a bit and I am assuming that is why however I tried drying my phone out and it still isn't working. I am wondering what I should do and whether or not resetting the factory settings is worth it or not. I have tried restarting it and turning it on and off again but I can't get it to work. I can't click any apps on the right side of my phone, send messages, delete photos, turn the camera, add filters, and I can't use apps very well. What do I do?

How long ago was the iPhone exposed to rain? How long did you attempt to dry it? How did you attempt to dry it? Did you power the device off before allowing it to dry?
More than likely, given the behavior that you are describing, the device is damaged and will need to be replaced. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store for an out of warranty replacement.

There's a strange plaque on the right side on my iPhone 4

Hi all,
After a few posts dedicated to ranting and raving about the new format of this site, which I still don't like, for the record, I've decided that enough is enough. No more pouting, let's get down to business, and why not start with an innocuous question such as this: I've noticed a small plaque on the right side of my iPhone (when you're facing the screen), right below the microSIM slot. At first, I thought it was just a sticker warning me that a prolonged use at high volume of the iPod component in my iPhone would probably result in me becoming deaf in no time (that's what the label on the plaque says), but I soon noticed there was a teeny-tiny indentation below said plaque, like, I don't know, a hole where you could stick a needle or the tip of a safety pin and remove the plaque.
So, what's behind it? A hidden slot for an SD card? A slot dedicated to an NFC chip that Apple says the iPhone will never get? Just empty space, we gotcha, ha ha?

No, THAT hole is quite visible. I mean there's a plaque BELOW the SIM tray, and I just had a look at the iFixit article where they took the iPhone 4 apart (poor thing!), and there's a 4-pin connector jutting out of the logic board a few millimeters behind that empty space that's hidden behind that plaque, but I can't for the life of me figure out what use it's meant for...
See here for more details: http://guide-images.ifixit.net/igi/sNkmwEEXdeupb2DU.medium
Maybe that plaque is just a warning-holding insert, because I don't see any gap in the stainless steel chassis, aside from the silicone seal where you should never press your finger lest you get reception issues... I'll try and take a picture of this plaque sometime tonight (my GF got a new 12MP camera for X-Mas -- guess who bought it?---) and somehow insert it in here. Hopefully...

Why is the right side of my MacBook Pro screen distorted?

I've had my MacBook Pro for 4.5 years and have really had little trouble with it. A little over a year ago, however, someone in my family dropped something on the laptop when it was closed and broke the screen. One trip to the Genius Bar later and we now had a new screen, one that has again given us little to no trouble whatsoever since then.
However, as of a week or so ago the right side of the screen has become distorted. At first, it was a minor annoyance, as it’s only about an inch wide and would come and go at random. Plus, if I applied some pressure to the screen where the distortion appeared, it would go away. Unfortunately, it would inevitably re-appear a short while later, usually if I lightly bumped the laptop or moved it a bit.
Now it’s there all the time. I’ll open the laptop to use it and, after a minute or so, it’ll appear. Now the only way to make it go away is if I close the laptop. I can still use the computer, but the distorted column makes it hard to concentrate, plus I don’t know if it’s wrecking the screen any further. It’s hard to use various programs such as iMovie, as I’ll have to move them around so the distorted area isn’t covering any of my work.
What could have caused this? I installed any and all updates the other day, so everything’s up to date on there. I always keep it out of harm’s way, especially ever since our incident last year. When it’s not being used, it’s always on a soft surface, always under a bed, couch or some other area where our two-year old and cats can’t get to it. I also never keep it anywhere other than our family room or bedroom, where the room temperature is never too hot or cold. Trust me, nothing else has fallen on it since the new screen was purchased last year.
Are there any possible remedies to this? Or is it back to the Genius Bar again? I’m reluctant to try and take it apart at all, but if that’s my only option and there’s an easy method that won’t harm the computer, I suppose I could give it a shot. Or if there’s some video card setting I need to adjust I’m all for hearing about it.

It fixed it self when i picked up to use it this morning. Thanks for the tip I'll try that when all else fails.
If anyone else would like to tell me what they have done to fix this problem I would take any other advice as well.
Thanks, Ashka!

If you are still under warranty, contact Apple to get it serviced. You can also visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it looked at.

After the new update of the latest iOS, I noticed a yellowish color on the sides of my iPhone 5 screen (Top,Down,Left,Right). Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank You.

It is highly unlikely that any iOS update could cause this.
Try a restore as new, if the problem persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

MY IPHONE SCREEN HAS GONE SEPIA. The RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN IS BLACK!

Hello, my iPhone screen has turned sepia. No one say 'click the home button 3 times' or 'turn white on black off' because I have tried them!
Basically on the right side of the screen there is a black part. About a quarter of the screen it fills.
It is sepia too. It is really hard to see things. Also, say if i am on the home screen, then i open settings; the home screen would be in the background!!
HELP!

My iphone 4s screen turned freaked out before my eyes, changing all different colours, now it is blue and black along the right side with horizontal lines, and is flickering. I DIDN'T DROP IT.

I was just sitting on the couch scrolling through facebook, I closed out of that and went to open safari, when it spazzed out, for a few mintutes it looked like LSD vision, it was all different colours and flickering the whole time. I turned it off and on again, and plugged it into my computer and now the right side is nearly completely blue, and bleeds to the left side with horizontal lines, and it is still flickering. I just finished paying the **** thing off. I thought I'd get another year out of it. I have taken exemplary care of it and it hasn't left the case since the day I bought it. I haven't dropped it, there was no warning for the screen to start doing this. So my question is, is there an easy fix (I am about to restore and update it, and I already played around with the screen brightness), and if not, am I going to have to pay for the screen to be replaced, because I don't have that kind money.

Probably sounded funnier in your head.

When I log into the iTunes store my screen shows the marker go half way across the loading indicator, the screen show a blank screen with the heading accessing iTunes. If I go to the right side and search the store the names drop down. Nothing happens

When I log into the iTunes store my screen shows the marker go half way across the loading indicator, the screen shows a blank screen with the heading "accessing iTunes".

I am using a Dell Vostro 3400, with 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 64bit Ultimate OS. ITunes version 10.5? (Latest)
What I have tried:
Uninstalled iTunes,
Removed firewall and protection.
Re-installed iTunes 64bit (still get the same issue)
Restarted firewall, added apple.com etc.
I have created a new user profile to no vail.
Still the same issue. I can access using my iPod

I am having the same problem ever since I upgraded. Have received four emails from Apple support on the
issue and nothing has worked. Unloaded 10.5 and went back to 10.3 which worked fine but it would not allow
me to sync my Iphone with the ios 5 upgrade. Went back to 10.5 and sometimes get exactly what you do when
I try an access the store. It looks like something is clearly missing. Have done just about everything I have seen
on threads but nothing works. Really need help.

Screen wont work on the right side.

So, I've had some time with my phone, alot of damage has been done screen-wise (cracks, glass peeling, ect.) , and even some hardware is showing, but it still functioned properly. About thirty minutes ago, I set the phone down, and when I picked it back up, the right side of the screen is not working, and the resolution has been reverted back to what the 3rd gen would have. I can not unlock my phone, due to the fact that part of my passcode resides in the right side of my screen, but when I go to restore my phone through iTunes, it tells me I need to go to the settings on my iphone and turn off "Find My Phone". This would be no problem if I could unlock my phone, but I can't, and now I'm stuck and I don't know what to do. Please help.
Also, I've already planned on getting a new phone at the beginning of next month, the iPhone 5s to be exact, but I need this phone to last up till the current month ending.

This is a digitizer problem. Restore the iPhone with iTunes on computer. After the Restore see if fixed. If still problem and if there is Warranty or AppleCare take to Apple for replacement iPhone 4S. If no Coverage, Replacement iPhone 4S is $199.

In previous versions of i Tunes you could highlight a song in your library and there would be a genious list on the right side of the screen showing songs like the one highlighted in the library. Now I do not get that list. Is there a way to get this back

Hi again Bob,
I believe I've found the feature you were speaking about now. Information on the "In the Store" feature of iTunes can be found here:

How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
* View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
* Command+b
Library dialog (either):
* Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
* Command+Shift+b
right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

PLEASE! How to delete songs (album) bought, on my "iCloud"? These songs are even no visible on my library.. Only on my iPhone tracklist with the cloud on the right side. I don't arrive to delete

Hi,
I've got a little problem with my iTunes, because i've purchased some albums on iTunes Store before having my iPhone.
Then I have my iPhone and these songs were automaticly synchronized with my iPhone and they are not in my iTunes's library, but they are on my iPhone's tracklist with the "Cloud" on the right side of each song. The prob is that I want to delete them... And I can't because I don't know where are the songs..!
Can you help me please?

You can't delete them because they aren't on your phone. These are links to previously purchased songs that you can download from the iTunes store. Your previously purchased song list cannot be deleted. However, you can keep these from appearing in your song list by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turning off Music under Show All.
