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.

Images have ? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?

Q - My images have a
? symbol on the top right corner of the thumbnail what does this mean and how do I remove it?
A - The
? symbol is used to identify a file that Lightroom can no longer access; probably because it has been moved using OS drag/drop or Move command rather than Lightroom.
Click the
? symbol will cause a small dialog will appear. This dialog will provide information as to where the file was originally located along with an option to find (Locate) it again.
As you'll quickly realise, clicking the
? symbol is fine for finding individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers. There must be a better way
Look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) and you should find that the folder/subfolder containing the files that Lightroom can no longer find are shown in Red text. It is the red text that Lightroom uses to help you identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that it has lost track off.
On the Mac you should
Ctrl-click (right-click when using two button mouse) the folder/subfolder, a pop-up menu will appear. From the pop-up menu choose the command
Locate Missing Folder, a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or CD/DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the location where the folder is now located, then select this folder (not the files). Finally, press the
Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called
Browse for Folder and the
Choose button is replaced by
OK.
You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above.

What does the dollar amount in the top left corner in the iTunes store mean?

What does the dollar amount in the top left corner in the iTunes store mean?

My guess is remaining balance on a gift card. I've never seen my credit card balance show up in iTunes or the app store. I don't think Apple can show that legally.

What does this symbol (in the top right corner of the screen) mean: a lock icon with an arrow encircling it?

so there's this little icon at the top right corner of my iTouch 32GB (next to the battery icon) that's driving me crazy.
can anyone tell me what it means, and how to get rid of it?
much appreciated
b.

It is the Orientation lock. To disable it or turn it off, double click your Home button and swipe your finger to the right on the Multitasking Bar. Here you'll see the Orientation lock. Tap it once to turn it off.

This has happened to me but i don't know what to do because my Itunes kept closing down and it shut down half way through updating and it just comes up with a silver apple and it won't turn off and now it's just frozen and it also doesn't recognise it when i opened up itunes again after i reset it to the factory settings

My ipod is unresponsive, with a white screen that won't go away?

My ipod was working fine and then within an hour or so it froze and turned to a blank white and hasn't gone away since. Please help me solve this problem.

Let the batttey fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
The try a restore if necessary.

My Ipod Classic has lines across the screen

there is no damage to the screen and it still plays music although I can't see what is being played

Either way it sounds like the LCD screen has been damaged or is wearing out from everday use. You'll want to have the iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

The menulets in the top right corner of my screen have disappeared. What should I do?

My brother was using my iMac today, and logged out of my account. When he did, every menulet in the top right corner of the screen disappeared besides Spotlight and the printer one. I tried to go to System Preferences and bring the menu buttons back up, but when I clicked on them, the check mark would appear but the icon wouldn't go back to the bar. Command+Drag also is not working. I am running OS X Leopard, if that makes any difference. Thanks for helping!

Yes, that's a manufacturing fault. Take it back for a replacement. Don't even try to fix it.

It's not a link, its an icon that indicates the photo cannot be found in the location where PSE expects it. This happens because you either renamed, moved or deleted the photos outside of PSE. To fix the problem, use File->Reconnect (you will have to find the actual file in one of your folders), and in the future, no more moving, renaming or deleting photos outside of PSE; if you MUST rename or move photos, do so from within PSE.

What has happened to the orange bookmark box in the top lh corner how do I find and make bookmarks?

Seems an update has happened - why? Any how the bookmark orange box in the top lh corner of the toolbar has gone missing.
So how do I now bookmark a website for future use?
Second how do I display my list of bookmarks?
Replies in language a 70 year old will understand please.

Firefox 29 and later versions have the Australis interface that looks different than the user interface in Firefox 28 and older versions.
*With the Australis interface the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar<br>A consequence of this new menu button is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button to the right end of the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu on the toolbars to have menus like the Bookmarks menu
* Click the bookmark star on the Navigation Toolbar once to bookmark the current site (this will highlight the star) to bookmark the current page in the Unsorted folder
* Click the blue highlighted star to open the "Edit This Bookmark" pop-up dialog and move the bookmark to another folder
In current Firefox releases the "Bookmark This Page" menu entry in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark" once you have bookmarked the page and the star on the Navigation Toolbar is highlighted blue.<br />
So do not get confused by the missing "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu and seeing "Edit This Bookmark" instead if you try to bookmarks a page that is already bookmarked.<br />
You can make a extra copy of a bookmark by dragging the link to a folder in the bookmarks sidebar or by doing a copy and paste in the Bookmarks Manager (Library).
You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
*Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
*You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
*You can find extra toolbar buttons in the Customize palette (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

HT5622 My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?

My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?
After holding down the Select and Play/Pause button, I was able to restart the Ipod and then it brought me to a Diagnositc test. I have tried doing both the Mannual and Annual test on the ipod however in each test, the ipod freezes on different access tests. The HP (headphones) test, shows the headphones are detected, but then if it tries to play a song to make sure they work it freezes and goes back to the red cross. I have looked at various other questions regarding the FW cable, however I don't believe i have such a cabel. Then the Hard Drive test freezes up and I can hear a ticking noise coming from the drive but it doesnt seem to be spinning. Alongside these test issues, any computer cannot see the Ipod when plugged in (including itunes). Therefore some tests for the USB drive cannot be completed. I do not recall dropping it badly, though I have dropped it previously. Does all this mean there is damage to the drive? Should I instead take it to an apple store?
Many Thanks

The stats look fine. Try the DFU Restore method shown in Corrupt iPod classic. It may pay to disable any anti-virus software and use the staged transfer method to reload data, assuming you get that far.

Hello onemeeks,
If your iPod is unresponsive, it may be best to run through the following troubleshooting assistant:

Saajan jain

To give you something, I need something too, like
How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
What do you see on the iPod screen?
My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!

HT1351 I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes. All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos. It said that they were in the wrong format. What to do??

I have just purchased an ipod classic 160GB and decided to sync my itunes music and videos that I purchased via itunes. All the music sunk but it didnt sync my videos. It said that they were in the wrong format. What to do?? I would have thought if I bought the films from itunes it would be compatible with an ipod classic?? How do you change the video format?

My mistake, it was nothing to do with format. It woldn't sync because my movies were HD. HD movies won't sync to an iopd classic 160 GB but when you purchase a HD movie, itunes gives you a SD vervsion of the movie which is compatible with the ipod. Just needed to go to store, click movies, click purchased and untick the HD box and there you have the SD versions. Download the SD versions and then sync your ipod and bobs you uncle, movies are on the ipod

What do I do when my iPod classic locks up

What do I do when my iPod classic locks up?

Reset the iPod.
To do this, turn the Hold switch on, then off again and press-and-hold both the Menu and the Select (centre) buttons together for at least ten seconds. You may need to try this a couple of times for it to work.
If it still doesn't fix it, try the 5Rs procedure, which is explained in the following article; http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/

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