The screen contrast won't darken

I updated the ipod on my computer and the screen was too light. I went to the setting, contrast option and put it all the way up which was the same color as it was when it was in the middle when i first got it.
It froze and i did a master reset, and couldn't see anything, i found the contrast and darkened it again, its on full and i can barely read the text and the menu screens. How do I fix this? I tried the master reset again and the reset for menu options. I am lost and the website is sending me around in circles please help.

"I tried the master reset again and the reset for menu options"
It's not clear what you mean by this, as there is no "master reset" or "reset for the menu".
There is a reset, and a restore.
If the first one doesn't help, try the second option.

  • When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it.  I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work.  How do I get rid of it?

    I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete.  I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either.  How do I get this draft to disappear?

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or Quit the mail app.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
    Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

  • The screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked

    the screen orientation won't change even though it shows orientation as unlocked on the bottom of the screen and when I release the side button.  Any ideas?

    If rotation lock is not set (i.e. there is no lock symbol next to the battery indicator at the top of the screen, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085), then try 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.

  • My computer has streaks on the screen that won't come off

    I just got the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display about a month ago and now on the screen there are streaks all over the screen that won't go away. I have tried using water, glass cleaner, and glasses cleaner wipes but it won't come off. Is this some type of defect or is there some other way to clean it?

  • The screen orientation won't rotate.

    Please HELP!
    I just got my Iphone 4s last month. It's kind of an hand-me-down and I don't know about it's first owner but yesterday it was still fine but when I got home, the screen orientation won't rotate anymore. If I unlock the "portrait lock on" it just reverts back to its landscape orientation and won't rotate no matter how much I turn my phone. I really don't know what to do :(

    Hello there, Halloween.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with performance of an iOS device:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • My new iPhone 6 plus just went to a black screen and will not turn back on. If you hit the home button for siri to come on it still works, and if you plug it into the wall it makes the vibrate noise. The screen just won't turn on.

    I was looking up a song on the internet, and my internet was being slow, so i was going to the settings to turn internet/wifi off so i could use data. When i did that the screen just went completely black. I didnt know what happened so i plugged it into a circuit into the wall to see if it needed charging. It made the buzz noise when i plugged it into the charger, and siri still works if you hold the home button down. I don't know what to do to get it to turn back on... If anyone knows what to do please help. thanks !

    Hey there Maggie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article linked below provides troubleshooting tips that can help you resolve the blank black screen issue with your iPhone 6 Plus.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.

  • What do I do if my ipod classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen that won't go away?

    I am not sure when this issue started, but my iPod Classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen.  They show up on every screen now.  The iPod is working, but I don't know if this is a sign of bad things to come.  I have dropped the iPod a few times, but not regularly.  I also wasn't sure if this means that it is time to update my iTunes software.  I am going to try updating the software tonight to see if that fixes the problem.  I have tried resetting the iPod, but it doesn't make the lines go away.  I am just curious to see if anyone else has had this issue.  I have attached pictures because it is probably hard to diagnose my issue without seeing it.

    It is not a software issue, since you have reset it and update the firmware.
    LCD screen do konk out due to high temperature, or when the pixels are static and burn the screen, like the 2 lines, that's the reason we have screen savers or the screen power down, when not in used. Some users do have screen ON all the time when connecting to iPod Docking stations.
    Other defects are due to poor SMT, when the display chip is mounted on the iPod motherboard., normally a band of vertical or horizontal white lines across the screen, these appear within 1 year, and Apple do replace the whole iPod.
    You can get LCD screen replaced at Apple, if it is still under warranty or get a 3rd party vendor near your area if you want it done cheaper.
    Have a nice day.

  • I can't get my cursor to completely leave the screen, so when I'm watching videos on some services the video control menu stays at the bottom of the screen. How do I make it disappear so I don't have to see the progress bar and stop/start buttons?

    When I watch certain video services like amazon or Netflix and enter full screen, when I move the cursor a video menu pops up on the bottom of the screen and won't disappear until the cursor goes offscreen. But my cursor won't go fully off screen. Just the tip remains visible so the video menu doesn't leave.

    What happens if you simply click the trackpad in the movie area before the cursor disappears?  Does that cause the video menu to disappear?

  • Satellite L650-0K5 - How to adjust screen contrast?

    Hi guys and gals,
    I've searched the L series thread before asking this question, so apologies if I should have looked harder!
    The default contrast settings are making blacks appear grey and also whites have a slight blue caste to them. My searches have found that I am not alone, one guy advised that contrast can be adjusted from the Intel Control Panel. Although I can locate this on other branded laptops, this Toshiba doesn't seem to allow me access. Can I override this or is there another way to adjust the screen contrast? I understand usually laptops don't allow this kind of display manipulation, however, the way we see things is a personal thing.
    Am I destined to be disatissfied with my beautiful new machine? Please help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Kaz~

    Thank you C3PO, this helps with adjusting the colours and text wonderfully, however, the option to adjust the contrast asks me to adjust using my 'contrast controls on your display'...I am yet to find this on the laptop. I assume this option in the program is only available for desktop display screens .
    Thanks so much, I am happier with my screen after the calibration. :)
    Getting access to the Intel Control Panel would still be my wish. Photo editing will be painful if I can not adjust the contrast.
    Regards,
    Kaz~

    EDIT TO ADD: Before anyone spends their valuable time searching, I have found from the Intel website, the shortcuts to access their control panel...none of which work on this machine :(
