What Would Cause This to Happen to the Display?

My 1 year + old iPhone 5 has recently developed this slight green tint of about 2mm surrounding all four sides of the display. The tint is most obvious when there is a white background, which there are plenty of in iOS 7. The touch screen still works great, though the green tint is starting to annoy me a little. Anyone else have the same thing on their iPhone 5? And any idea of why this would happen? Many Thanks.

If you truly believe it is a hardware issue, take it to Apple for evaluation. Regardless of warranty, they will look at the device. If it turns out to be a hardware issue, they will offer an Out of Warranty replacement, assuming the device has not been opened by someone other than Apple.

Hello Tommythecat_nz,
I would check to ensure that the device is fully charged if you got the dead battery indicator. Let it charge for some time.

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen?

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen? It says I need to have flash 7 or higher. I have the most update flash available according to my browsers.

If you are using Flash Pro CC 2014, please update Extension Manager CC to 7.2.1. Then please confirm whether Flash is shown in the product panel of Extension Manager CC. If not, please refer to Re: Why can't I see InDesign CC in my Extension Manager CC.

The Apple ID Password request pops up constantly, I am not purchasing or updating apps, what might cause this to happen?

What might cause this problem?

You may have an app that is trying to update or download that needs the password to continue... once you enter it it will time out so you don't have to worry about putting it in.
Enter it and it should store it for 15 minute only and after that time you'd need to enter it again to buy something.
Updates do not require password anymore but purchases do

My MacBook laptop will suddenly instruct me to shutdown. A black transparent message appears and instructs me to shutdown. Then when I reboot, it tells me to send the info to Apple. What is causing this to happen?

MacBook laptop suddenly posts a black transparent message on my screen in several different languages instructing me to shutdown the computer. After rebooting, another message appears instructing me to send the information to Apple. This has begun to happen on a regular basis. What is the issue?

That's a kernel panic. the cause can be a software conflict or a hardware problem, so it's not easy to say without more information what can be done.
Here is the Knowledgebase article which may help you diagnose the problem;

Firefox seems to have lost all of June's history, it has today's, yesterday's and May's history; What could cause this to happen?

I have not used a disk cleaning service or any program of the sort. The history wasn't knowingly deleted and it was present the other day.
The history window shows information for today, yesterday, and may, but nothing more.

Hi,
Please see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox this].

HT1688 My new iphone 5c has started blacking out then the apple appears and then it comes back on. What is causing this?

Is anyone else having the same problem... My iphone 5c will be working fine, then fade away and the apple will appear. It takes a minute and then the phone is back up and working? What is causing this to happen?

Phone is under warranty. Take it back to the store for exchange.

What would cause this battery problem?

There is a macbook air I am considering buying if the price is right and it is said to have this problem "The internal battery says that it is charging but when the AC power adapter is unplugged the unit shuts down and will not power back on until the AC power adapter is plugged back in." Any idea what would cause this to happen? Thanks!

Hi Ty,
It could be a couple of different things, the first assumption is that it's the battery. If you go to System Profiler and go under the power menu selection does it recognize the battery? What are the statistics on that battery?
It's also possible that the cable which connects the battery to the logic board is the point of failure. Due to the way that the MBA is manufacturer you'll be unable to proceed with "troubleshooting" this and the machine will require service.
You can however, try resetting the SMC and see if that changes anything.

My Canon EOS Rebel T4i will not operate with a new battery. What could cause this problem?

While take pictures with my Canon EOS Rebel T4i camera it died. I assumed it was a dead battery. Upon charging the battery it would take just a few pictures and die again. I purchased a new cannon battery and fully charged it and now the camera will not even come on. What could cause this?

Sounds like the micro-switch in either the battery door or memory card door is barely making contact. If either of those two doors are opened the camera will immediatley power off. The micro-switch is in the door frame. The door itself has a tab which pushes on the switch.

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

I have recently got a new replacement iPhone 4. Since I got this I have found that my data allowance is getting used up during the night while my phone is charging on the bedside table. How an I find out what is causing this and stop it happening? Some nights the usage is 150 meg!

You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device?

My samsung stratosphere is very slow to place a call. I input the number and push CALL. Nothing happens. I try it again and nothing happens. Then some time later (2-5 mins) the phone goes ahead and dials. What is causing this delay in dialing?

wadams5641,
Let's add some speed to your service and ensure you can make calls without the
delay. When was the last time you turned off your phone? Is the software up to
date?
