What just happened? Why on earth did my screen glitch?

Hi,
I just want to say that I got really scared today because I was just watching a YouTube video by MKBHD when...
The video paused,
The video came 'off '
The top and the bottom of the screen turned blue - yes really blue
There were black lines horizontally on the screen
Screen turned black
Apple logo
Lock screen (phew)
Luckily for me, the screen still works.
I would just like to know, has anyone ever suffered from this similar problem?
Oh and just to say, I did have genuine apple EarPods plugged in with the buds in my ear. Below are some details about my iPod touch,
It's an iPod touch 5g 32gb space grey engraved,
LOTS OF APPS+MUSIC
Please reply ASAP cos I don't want it happening again and I don't want my mum to find out about it!

Thank u so much
I got SOOOO scared I thought my screen broke!!

  • Please tell me what just happened...

    OK. Here is what just went down when I went into a corporate AT&T Store:
    1. I told the sales guy that I just purchased a 3G iPhone on June 3rd online, and would like to pay the 10% restocking fee and get a new 3GS.
    2. He said that would be fine and started messing on the computer and said he took the phone off my account and opted me back out of my 2 year contract I renewed.
    3. The manager then came over and said they cannot issue refunds from online purchases and I need to mail it back to AT&T.
    4. The sales guy then let me pre-order the iPhone 32GB 3GS iphone for $299 and said he had to keep my 3G iphone until I pick up my 3GS next friday, unless I wanted to come by sooner and "tell them how to return it to AT&T".
    5. He gave me my sim card out of my phone so I could use it on a backup phone I have at home.
    6. Now I am home, and AT&T website is telling me I am eligible for an upgrade (although I just upgraded at the store).
    Am I officially upgraded? If I order one online get I get the one next friday in the store AND in the mail and have 2, activate 1, and sell the other one on the side? If someone has any idea what just happened please let me know.
    Thanks

    You need to put the headset into pairing mode. The phone should then see it even though you have done the forget this device.

  • I'm not exactly sure what just happened

    Hey,
    So yesterday I was online, and searching for images on google (not adult content, it was a school related search).
    I clicked on the the picture and then instead of seeing the picture, I get some kind of warning from safari. I don't exactly know what it said because it happened relatively quickly. All I know was that a pop up from Safari came up that said something along the line about "not closing out and something about scanning" and in the back of this Safari message pop up I saw something that looked like it was downloading (like when you download software, and it has those bars showing you the progress of the download).
    I'm really, really sorry that my explanation is as descriptive as possible. It just happened really, really fast, I didn't even get to read the whole Safari message. And then Safari says that it wasn't able to open up the page (it was the page you get when Safari cannot make an internet connection).
    So basically I wasn't sure if that was actually Safari scanning the picture before it was opened. (I was even downloading the picture, I was just doing a google search). Or if it was spyware/adware trying to download onto my computer. I don't know if it was successful and was wondering what you guys thought and if you think I should download some adware/spyware. I have Clam X and haven't really used it, but I just used it to scan my documents, and everything and nothing came up.
    Sorry if I'm really confusing. I'm just nervous that I may have gotten something malicious on my computer. Thanks.
    Btw I have Leopard. I don't know if that changes anything. I just got my Macbook, so i really, really don't want anything to happen to it. Thanks.

    I don't think I actually downloaded something. I was just worried because after I clicked on the picture, there was a Safari pop up (containing that warning). And then something on the actual screen, it looked as if something was downloaded (it may have been Safari scanning the picture) because the picture didn't open up, instead the window screen just said that it was unable to open up the page.
    I was just worried a trojan or something like that may have creeped in.
    I did your window download and it's just says Bio 112 (I downloaded something for my class like a week ago).
    Should I be worried? Should I get some type of adware installed?

  • Not sure what just happened...everything just slowed/choppy in the middle of my session

    I was working on a project and all of a sudden everything with in PS got noteably slow and choppy.  This first happened while using the selection tool (polygonal lasso), which was lagging behind and making late clicks.  I finished my selection and noticed the cursor in general was slow choppy still.  I saved my work, shutdown PS, then reboot my computer.  I reopen my project, the cursor lag seemed to be gone but the brush tool was not working correctly.  Instead of making smooth burst of color with one click (gradient like), it now looks like 256 4 bit (old nintendo style) bursts.  Or you could say it looks like multiple rings getting smaller and darker, like counting the rings of a tree trunk. 
    This happens instantly after opening a file of any type and size.  I work with CMYK and 300dpi and while working on a page, this just happened out of nowhere.
    I have an ASUS G74SX, i7 CPU, GeForce 560M w/2 gig RAM, 8 gig of SDRAM, 3 each SSD 300gigs (this is basically a 6 month old gaming laptop and has been working fine with PS until now).  I have my PS scratch disk set to my F drive for all art and there is nothing more than 2 gigs of space being used right now.  My RAM used in PS prefs was maxed at 5205k as suggested by the program.
    I would post a picture but this forum will not allow a big enough image to show exactly what I am describing.
    PS CS6 is fully up to date as well as all drivers for my GPU and the rest of my laptop.
    Thanks

    I personally like to Crop, and then use PNG for my screen-caps. If I need more images, say to show other Palettes, etc., then I do one each for those shots.
    We see a lot of full-screen caps posted, where aggressive JPEG is used, and nothing can be read. That is especially true with images, like Adobe Encore's Flow-chart, where there is a lot of text and linking being shown.
    Just my personal preferences.

  • What just happened? - iTunes gone crazy

    So, this just happened: I opened iTunes and EVERYTHING was gone, all the songs, podcasts etc. I can find them from my computer but they seem to have disappeared from my iTunes. Is there any sensible explanation for this? Has my computer been hacked or could I have done it myself by accident?
      Windows XP  

    Go to my documents/MyMusic/itunes/itunesMusic and see if there is anything there. if not it is a problem with XP.
    If all your music is there go to edit... preferences...advanced there make sure your iTunes music location is C:\Documents and Settings\"Your computer name"\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    if not change it to that.

    If you look at the card itself on the right upper corner there is a 4 with a circle around it.
    It should look something like this picture.

  • What just happened? HD password suddenly doesn't work...

    Alright this is a tricky one.  W520 w/ Intel SSD.
    I've got a Supervisor (SPV) password set for my BIOS as well as a HD password set. 
    I don't think I had a Power-on password set but I'm not sure.
    No problems, my password has always worked. 
    I'm working and I have my laptop plugged into my LAN via Ethernet and I shut down.  I always use wireless but was working with my router settings so had it plugged in via Ethernet this time.
    When I start up, it started trying to boot from LAN, I see the Intel Boot manager start up (screen saying Press Ctrl + S to change options), and of course there is nothing on my LAN to PXE boot from so it proceeds after failing.
    Then it asks for my Supervisor password, I enter it, works, asks for my HD password, I enter it, doesn't work.  I try again, doesn't work.  Try a third time, locks me out.  I restart the machine. 
    The next time it asks for my HD password first rather than my Supervisor password, which doesn't work again.  I reboot again. 
    Third time through this charade and for some reason the HD password works now but only to get me into the BIOS -- meaning I've pressed F1 and it asks for my password and lets me into the BIOS settings.
    From here I try to remove the User password on the hard drive but it does not accept the password -- the same password I just entered and it accepted. 
    Now I'm not fat fingering or anything, the password is simple and I'm making sure I'm typing it in exactly correct.
    So somehow powering off and powering on with my Ethernet cable connected has majorly screwed up my passwords in the BIOS.  I think it was set to re-order boot devices if Wake-on-LAN was enabled or something, but something in that process must have screwed up my BIOS config.   I don't know what to do.  I don't understand what the heck is happening here. Password works then all of a sudden doesn't?

    But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work?  I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe.  This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot.  But I know both were exactly the same.  But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

  • Would appreciate some help - not sure what just happened?

    This is my first post to the Forums, and I have only had my phone for a couple of days (I've never had a smartphone before either), so please bear with me if I sound completely ignorant. 
    I just got my HTC Droid Incredible over the weekend and I have fallen in love with it!  I had no problems until just a few minutes ago.  I went to answer a call, but accidentally hit the button to end the call.  I just hit the "phone" button to get back into the phone dialer where I could call them back.  At this point my screen just went black, and eventually brought up a little red triangle with a red exclamation point on the screen.  I kept trying to turn it on but nothing would happen, so I took the battery out, put it back in, and turned it back on.  It turned back on, but it brought up a screen that had a little picture of a Droid character and it had several menu options (One of them was recovery, can't remember what the other ones were).  I kept hitting the volume up and power button and finally the phone turned back on, and now it seems as if everything is fine with it.  Does anyone have any idea why it would do that, and what menu option I could have selected?  I am afraid I did something that will mess up the phone.
    Thank you in advance for your help!

  • What just happened??? (Macbook running slow & overheating)

    So I've been experimenting with some software (a lot of installing/uninstalling), and my macbook went berzerk... It was running really glitchy for couple of days... Especially when trying to play flash content (CPU overloading, really high temp levels etc...)... I tried running third-party disk repair software like tech tool but nothing was "repaired"... But today I rebooted the OS in safe mode and then rebooted back to normal mode... And now everything is magically cured. I know I should just be happy and let it go, but I really want to know what happend, in case something like this happens again...
    Thank you!
    Cheerz

    HI,
    *"I tried running third-party disk repair software like tech tool but nothing was "repaired"."*
    *Did TechTool report any errors?"*
    Boot from your install disk and make sure the hard disk is ok.
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    *"Especially when trying to play flash content (CPU overloading, really high temp levels etc...)..."*
    If this happens again, try resetting the NVRAM & PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379

  • Click to activate question what just happened

    The official solution as posted along long time ago is to
    create an external js file with a function that document.writes out
    the embed stuff.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html
    Today someone here did a solution where they just wrote the
    document.write calls right inline of the page. How is this possible
    when i know like a dozen different developers who never were able
    to make that work. What happened? This makes no sense. If
    document.write inline of the page works there is tons of wasted js
    includes that i didnt need the last few years.

  • What just happened to my MBP?

    So, I was about to shut down my MBP. I clicked the Apple icon to shut it down, and instead of the drop down menu, the whole screen suddenly turned gray and a window popped up that told me to restart my computer. I tried restarting it, but I couldn't use the cursor, so I had no choice but to just hold the power button. I was just wondering what happened to it.

    Hello Katherine,
    You had a "kernel panic." This occurs when something happens that the Mach kernel (the most basic foundation of OS X) encounters something from which it cannot recover. Instead of summarily shutting down, possibly causing data loss, or freezing completely, which would require you to force a shutdown (another possible cause of data loss), the kernel attempts to crash "elegantly."
    This doesn't always happen. If the kernel was successful, however, there should be a "panic log" (check Console.app) describing the circumstances surrounding the panic. This is one of the ways the kernel attempts to be "elegant" when crashing: it logs the event if it can.
    Panics can be caused by faulty hardware, like bad or improperly seated RAM, or a bad logic board, or they can be software-related. In the latter case, chances are you may have encountered a disk error that damaged some critical system files; when an attempt was made to use those files, the kernel crashed.
    I'm sorry to say it, but if you have had one, chances are good that more will follow. You might want to use Disk Utility to verify and repair (if necessary) your hard drive. If it becomes apparent that disk errors are involved, I would recommend making a good backup, formatting (erasing) the drive, then reinstalling OS X and your applications. Your backed up data can be returned to the new installation.
    If there does not appear to be anything wrong with your file system (your hard drive), meaning no disk errors are found or appear, it might be time to have someone at Apple have a look at it. Hardware-wise (if the problem is indeed hardware-related), it could just be a loose RAM module, but it could also be something much more serious.

  • Why on earth did they change the selection tool key commands?

    Am I crazy? I've been using AI for over a decade, and thought I had the keystrokes down to second nature by now. But now every time I try to use keystrokes to switch temporarily to the select, direct select, and group select tools, everything is constantly coming out wrong. This is just confusing the hell out of me. Am I getting Alzheimer's already? Or did they really change something that core to how we work minute by minute? If the latter, what in the name of God inspired that?

    jonf:
    The logic is trying to keep keyboard shortcuts consistent between products in the Suite. That way you don't have to remember 4 or 5 different shortcut sets.
    You can go into your Keyboard Shortcuts and remap them to a great extent. Like I switched my Direct Selection Tool from no shortcut to Shift-A and the Measure Tool to Shift-H like in the olden days. Save your set and you're good!
    Have fun!
    PS: I hope I understood your issue correctly 8^)

  • I don't know what just happened but I had my iPhone 5 plugged in to my computer and itunes popped up and all this syncing and stuff happened and now all of the stuff that was on my phone is gone and all my old stuff from my 4 is on there!!

    How do I fix this??

    Hi. I'm new to the iPhone, but I have had iPods for 5 years or so. I don't know if it works the same, but here's what I know from my iPod experience.
    Each iPod is associated with a particular iTunes account. If you plug your device into your computer, it should see your iTunes account and do what ever you have set your iTunes to do when it sees your device (mine is set to sync automatically). If you plug into a different computer, it asks if you want to sync to that iTunes, and if you say yes, it will replace your content with what is in the other iTunes account.
    Still, you say it was your own computer that did this to you, so I'm a bit stumped. It sounds like when you had the iPhone 4 you had different content than when you got your iPhone 5. What was the difference? Songs, contacts, photos, apps, etc.? Do you still have the content of your iPhone 5 on your computer? I have only managed my iPhone with my computer, with the exception of downloading a few apps directly, but those apps get placed on my computer when I sync, so I was under the impression that other things that go directly to your phone would also sync, but maybe that's wrong on my part.
    You might want to open iTunes on your computer and go to Store>View My Account to make sure you have the correct log-in. Could it be that you made a new Apple ID with the new phone, and your computer is still logged in with your old one?
    Please post back if you find a solution, or if you have any new info.

  • MBP late 2007 what just happened?

    I have a 2.66 late 2007 early 2008 model. I was burning a bunch of home videos on to dvd and it just shut off. Not two weeks ago I did an erase and install of 10.6.2 and all was great. Now When I turn it on after this incident I get the chime and then the apple logo. Then I get the circle with the line through it. I am guessing it is the hard drive. How do you know if it is the hard drive or the logic board that has failed? Is there a test to run? Can I use a usb drive with a bootable 10.6 image on it to tell one way or the other? I really appreciate the help!

    looks like darwin cannot access the root files on the hard drive, whose directories may have been corrupted in the burning process (personally I won't install 10.6.x until at least release 4 or 5, after reading the reports on Ric's Ford Macintouch at http://www.macintouch.com).
    IMHO, if the motherboard went kaput, you'll have no chime and no flashing Apple icon before it shows you the "no passage" sign.... but then I've been proved wrong before (grin).
    A quick unix alternative to the Mac way iVmichael suggested would be to test mounting the drive in *single user* mode by holding down the S key while powering on. If you get a black screen with white blurb running down by itself, you're almost home run.
    The white blurb would stop at something like:
    localhost:/ root#
    Type right just after it (you may have a blinking dot or not at this stage)
    /sbin/fsck -fy [note there is a space before -fy]
    and hit Return key.
    You should see the low level fsck utility going about its business and checking file extents, directories, links, etc, which is extremely good news (these are the unix workings behind Apple's logo and spinning wheel at start up).
    If the list is short you'll get a "The disk yourdrivename appears to be OK".
    If fsck finds trouble, and it will surely find orphaned or invalid links and directory counts, etc., it will attempt to repair the problems and it will report a FILE SYSTEM MODIFIED ofter a successful repair (just follow the writing on the screen, it's kinda fun . At this point press the "up" arrow key on your keyboard, which tells the unix shell to repeat the operation, just to be on the safe side. Wait through it and if you get a short list ending as described above, type reboot or exit in SL.
    If all went well, you should get your drive back after normal GUI boot up. You should run Disk Utility's Repair Permissions after a normal boot.
    If not, then invest in DiskWarrior (http://www.alsoft.com) and / or TechTool Pro (http://www.micromat.com), as both come with MacOS X booting disks and try the revival from outside you mbp. TT Pro can run actual hardware & file system diagnostics on your mbp, even down to components.
    Good luck
    I'm no UNIX head, but I find myself doing this routine almost every time I have to restart or do a cold boot.
