  • Iphone 6+ touch screen issue erratic behavior

    iphone 6+ touch screen erratic behavior.  the main issue started this week, it comes and goes, and  starts with inability to even swipe the unlock slider, and which mimics that of trying to use phone with a wet hand. when tying who knows what will actually happen, app in use closes, opens, you end up on a different message while trying to respond to someones text.  clearly my inputs are not at all related to what the phone thinks is being pushed.  have done partial, settings, and a full restore and issues came back 2 days later.  deleted flesky and any apps installed in the last 30 days and the issues persist.  case on or off, factory charger and cables, zero moisture exposure all irrelevant to this issue manifesting itself.
    at this point i am thinking hardware and only because behavior of touch screen has been marginally flakey the last 6-8 weeks prior, i thought it might be certain apps, but certain areas of the touch screen seemed unresponsive especially near the center.  those issues too intermittent,  and because they were minor, i wrote them off to the apps themselves, or perhaps some bug in iOS8 that would be fixed in an update.
    so it seems likely the earlier issues were real and related to the phone and not too specific apps.  whatever it is it needs to be addressed immediately by apple as it is clear my issues are not isolated.  i do not have hours to spend at some genius bar trying to prove an intermittent issue exists.
    apple, what is your response?

    Having the same issues with my 6+.  I've also seen these vertical stripes around the upper right of the screen periodically as well. I did some searches here and tried resetting the phone and a full restore from backup.  It seemed to resolve it for a little while then the erratic behavior came back.
    Today, I took it to the Genius Bar today and they are replacing the LCD screen under warranty.  When I get it back, I'll do another full restore and hope that fixes the issue.
    What's most frustrating is I've been an iPhone owner since the 3G and never experienced issues with the touchscreen like this.

  • HT1766 My mini Ipad is only 2 months old and it has frozen. The screen says that the ipad needs to be backed up on icloud but the touch screen has frozen and I can even shut it down. Suggestions

    Does anyone know how to unfreeze a screen.

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    My Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

    Sorry, darned auto correct. Sleep and home. The home is the button on the front of your iPad. The sleep button is also the power down button. It's on the upper right edge of your iPad.
    My apologies for the typo. My keyboard is charging and the onscreen keyboard and I don't get along well.

    Hello Valerie,
    Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    This may or may not work the first time around, so be sure to attempt this procedure at least 3 times.

  • My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white.  It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it.  Can anyone help please

    My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it.  I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white.  Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired).  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Touch screen has gone black

    Printer works great when triggered from the computer,
    but the touch screen has gone to black, permanently.
    No matter how much i press,it stays black.
    I've unplugged and replugged.
    Downloaded a new driver which allows me to trigger the scan from the computer,
    but i can't get to the fax.
    Is this a driver issue, a hardware issue...?  Not sure what firmware is.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @lenny15,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums!  I understand the touchscreen on your HP Photosmart 7515 is completely black, you are able to print from the computer but cannot access the front control panel.
    I would like you to perform a Hard Reset on the PS 7515:
    1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
    2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
    3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
    4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
    5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
    6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
    7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
    8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
    If after the hard reset you are still not able to access the control panel, I suggest you call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

  • Iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

    iphone 5 touch screen has stoped working all of a sudden, help?

    Hello there, shankate1993.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with touchscreen response on your iOS device:
    If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
    Fix your touchscreen
    Make sure your hands are clean and dry, then try these steps:
    If you have a case or screen protector on your device, try removing it.
    Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
    Unplug your device.
    Restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If your touchscreen still doesn't respond like it should, contact Apple Support or take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • My ipod touch screen has turned white. the screen has turned bright white. it is not going by reseting also. when  i  shift screens then it leaves a trail and i dont know what to do. please help.

    my ipod touch screen has turned bright white. the things are visible but partially and when shift the screen it leaves trails behind. i dont know what to do help please.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive.

    The touch screen has frozen and is unresponsive. I tried synching it to my Mac, updating it, dumping my apps and resetting as new, as the tech support guy at Apple suggested, but it still does not work. Now what? Sadly, my warrenty has expired.

    Frozen as on a particular image?
    If so you might want to try a hard power down (if you haven't already).
    I'm sure there are some better people to actually answer your direct question, other than me.
    Sorry

  • OfficeJet 8600 touch screen has stopped displaying

    HP OfficeJet 8600 printer screen display has stopped working.  Not sure when, as printer would still "wake up" when I touched the screen and would print.  However, today I had to get a new gateway modem from my ISP and now have a different home network.  Instructions I've found on updating the printer with this information involve using the printer's screen.  I've tried rebooting it.  Any ideas on how to get the pringer screen working?

  • IPod Touch screen has gone white with grey lines

    I have had my iPod Touch for a year and a half, so unfortunately it is out of warranty. About two months ago it started behaving strangely. Every other time I turned it on there would be a white screen which after a few seconds would get slightly darker with vertical grey lines. The screen was still responsive, and you could hear clicking. Turning the iPod off and back on would resolve the problem and the screen would reappear with no problems at all.
    Unfortunately this got worse. Now I am unable to turn the iPod on without getting the white screen with grey lines. The iPod is still responsive. I can plug it into itunes and browse it normally.
    I've reset the iPod many times and completely reset it through iTunes with no luck.
    Any suggestions? Is this a hardware fault and is it possible to resolve? Or is there something else I can try? Any help would be very appreciated.

    My old Touch 2G has the same issue. The Apple Store Genius couldn't tell what's the problem. However, I observed that the white grey striped display appears almost every time (or at least far more often) when the iPod lays on a ground. It is fixed by tilting it 90°, so that the dock connector is pointing to the ground.
    And sometimes the density of stripes changes by pressing home (no, I don't mean switching from spotlight to first home screen page, because this happens in lock screen, when home button does nothing) or pulling out the dock cable. So I think it's something near the dock connector and home button. Hardware fail, maybe the not so fitting dock cable in the rounded dock connector is the issue.

  • Touch screen has frozen, what can I do?

    Hi everything has been fine with my phone all day then when I tried to reply to a txt it had frozen on the lock screen. The touch screen isn't working and not letting me swipe to unlock or turn phone off. Any ideas what I can do to fix this?

    Try resetting your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
