Touch screen misreading touch commands

Hello,
I have a bit of a problem with my droid's touch screen. Anytime I touch one thing (Example the U turn arror [Escape]) something on the left side is triggered (while in widescreen position). Tried the same thing and the Current Running programs opens up (as if you were to touch-hold the "Home" icon). After awhile, the entire touchscreen fails to react to any commands. After reboot (via Notes 6 and 7 below), the screen works fine for a few seconds before it presents the same problem as annotated above. Physical keyboard operates properly (including the directional pad). Any guesses as to what may be the cause?
Thanks!
Greigh

This morning, my iPad screen didn't respond to my touch commands. It displays mail, but I can't move the screen, can't delete an incoming item. Nothing. All the other screens work normally -- just no response to mail.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could 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.

HT5137 My Ipad's screen is not react my touch commands, while in the screen the time and battery information is shown and working.

My Ipad's screen is not react my touch commands, while in the screen the time and battery information is shown and working.
It is not even swiched off. the button in the right above side caanot do it. Could you please, help me as soon as possible.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My new 5G iPod touch is much slower to respond th touch commands than my old 4Gen. Anyone else have this problem?

The reponse time after a touch command on my new iPod 5th Gen, 64GB is painfully slow, especcially when compared to my iPod touch 4th gen iOS6. Anyone else experiencing this? From Grumpy Troll.

My is quite responsive. However, I had a corrupted iCloud sync file that were looping using constant CPU and draining batterie life (there another post related to this). So, it is possible that something went wrong if you had restored the new iPod using previous backup.
First, you should try to quit any open apps by double-clicking home button, tapping and holding on an opened apps and then closing them all.
Second, do a restart by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button.
If this doesn't solve the issue, you may take a look here to get more info:
Settings General -> About -> Diagnostics & Usage -> Diagnostics & Usage Data and look at crash reports. Is there many recent, recurring crash from specific apps, etc.
If nothing special there, you can try to restore like a new iPod to see if it get more responsive. If it does, it probably means that you got an issue with your backup. Retry the restore from your backup to see if it get again less responsive. That would confirm wether or not you got such issue.
Let us know the outcome of these trials.
PS: since it a new device, you may also get help from Apple service either by phone or at a genius bar.

Ipad 2 - no answer from touch commands

What should i do whenthe ipad 2 does not respond any touch command

I have the same problem. But, even after soft and hard reseting the touch commands keep freezing.
I noticed that after locking for a while it usually unfreezes the touch commands.
Running iOS 5.0.1. Before updating (while running 4.3.5) it showed the same problem.

Touch commands and Shortcuts

Attempting to search the Apple site and this discussion board for a possible listing of the Touch commands and shortcuts for the Macbook (example: saw a Mac Genius zoom with touchpad finger gesture)- curious about other possible commands..

Touchpad gestures should be in your User Guide for the computer assuming you have one with a touchpad trackpad. As far as I'm aware that's only available on the MacBook Pro but according to your information you have a MacBook. Only the latest MBP model supports gestures on the trackpad. These models only run Leopard. Were they available for the MB, you would need a current model with Leopard, but you are using Tiger. Configuring your trackpad for scrolling is done using the Keyboard and Mouse preferences.
As for keyboard shortcuts: Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts.

How to clear the screen in the command prompt?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering how we can clear the screen in the command prompt in Java. I remember we can do this in C by writing system("cls");
What is the best IDE for writing Java programs. Is the NetBeans IDE good? Thank you very much.

I was wondering how we can clear the screen in the
command prompt in Java. I remember we can do this in
C by writing system("cls");I guess there's no Java way of doing that because it's a function of the shell you're calling. If you try to use Runtime.exec on cls, it starts yet another shell, clears that, and closes it again, so it has no effect on your output.
You could try using the '\b' backspace character, if that helps.
What is the best IDE for writing Java programs. Is
the NetBeans IDE good? Thank you very much.By the way you're asking this question, the answer will be almost certainly "none". If you want to, you can search this board for the few million times this question was asked before, pick all IDEs suggested there and use the one you're most comfortable with.

We don't use exit commands for selection screens in Reports
So you are asking this exit command for selection screens
see the sample code for Module pools programs
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
Forced Exit from the transaction

How do I disable touch screen temporarlily in command promt?

I had been Starting a Command prompt, and here's what I have So far
@echo off
title YELLOW_BEAR
mode 166,68
:BEGIN
color 6E
echo ITS ME
shutdown.exe /r /c "IT'S ME" /t 60
(disabling mouse, touch screen, ect. line would be here)
goto GOLDEN_BEAR
:GOLDEN_BEAR
"C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Videos\[FILENAME].mp4"
TIMEOUT 20
pause
goto GOLDEN_BEAR
I have one teeny question- Is there Any way I can add on to this so it can also disable ALL user actions? (touching the screen, typing, mouse pad) BUT, for only temporary purposes so it can be enabled again when restarted? (note line #7, "shutdown.exe
/r /c "IT'S ME" /t 30)
so it would be like this-
user clicks on prompt
user sees ITS ME on command prompt window
user is notified windows will shutdown, with comment of IT'S ME
[FILENAME].mp4 (around 20 seconds, note "TIMEOUT 20") would play, user cannot pause because off
         all actions would be disabled
after 20 seconds, [FILENAME].mp4 would play again, in fact 2 more times ,total of three the user.
      not being able to do anything], until it restarts and the
        touch screen would be working again
by the way, I run windows RT 8.1 on surface 1

Open it in iTunes and restore your device.

My screen zooms in and cuts off access to other icons/apps and does not respond well to touch commands, My screen zooms in and cuts off access to other icons/apps and does not respond well to touch commands

It started out as an occasional problem but not seems to happen multiple times a week. The screen will zoom in and not respond normally to touch and swipe actions. I cannot seem to get it back to normal unless I turn my phone off which can prove to be very difficult when the touch functions and swipe functions are compromised. Any ideas?

You have activated the Zoom function in Accessibility. Triple click the home button and you can use 3 fingers to scroll the screen. Go into Settings>General>Accessibility>Triple click Home button, off.
Double tapping with 3 fingers should turn it on or off. Three fingers to scroll around screen. Double tap 3 fingers and drag to change zoom.

Lower portion of screen insensitive to touch commands

Went to make a call and could not unlock iPhone. A restore using iTunes allowed me to determine that lower portion (60%) of screen will not respond. Attempted hard reset as well but to no avail. All other functions seem to work but inaccessible outside restore window.

Same thing happens with my phone. I've made an appointment twice with people at the Mac store. Neither person could tell me what was wrong, I have also contacted Apple Care twice and have had no luck. It makes no sense to me. The bottom portion works on some buttons but when you try and use the keyboard all the lower buttons don't work. In addition, if I am in Safari and I turn the phone sideways the entire screen works fine even the portion that used to be at the bottom. Kind of bummed the folks at Apple had never heard of this before and offered no solution other than re-store or re-purchase. It makes me hesitant to purchase another one.

My screen does not respond to any touch commands on new 4S

The screen on my new 4S does not respond to swiping in order to configure. In addition, when I try to turn it off, it will not respond to cancel or swiping. I have tried to reset to no avail. Is there something else to try?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

I can't open rtf files created using the 'touch' command in Terminal

I don't know much about CLI but I like to play with my tech. When I create an RTF file using
touch foo.rtf
it creates the file but when I try and open it, it just says "The document “foo.rtf” could not be opened."
What's the deal?

Answered Here on StackOverflow:
As you've likely discovered, touching a nonexistent file will create a zero-byte file with the name you specify. (touch is also used to update the modification time on an existing file. Seeman touch for further details.)
The problem you're running into is that though a completely empty file is valid HTML, text, or Markdown, it is not valid RTF—this is true of many file formats, actually, which are structured in a particular way and require some data to be present be valid.
Based on my experimentation, the bare minimum RTF file appears to be
{\rtf1}
If you'd like to create a blank RTF file from the shell, try this:
echo '{\rtf1}' >Foo.rtf
Note the above will overwrite Foo.rtf if it exists.
