Why does my selection on the touch screen jump around?
Throughout the day my phone starts selecting the wrong item on my iphone; if I select contacts it brings up something else like email, if I select back it tries to delete, try to scroll up or down and it jumps around. I've restored my phone twice, restarted, updated it, made sure it's fully charged, and while there are times it works fine, it inevitably goes back to this problem. Sometimes if I lay it flat or turn it to landscape it will work ok, but more often than not, it doesn't.
I'm past my warranty and want to find a fix without buying a new phone. I need help!!!!
Sync everything to the computer.
Restore as new. Test.
If problem persists, call Apple and arrange a repair. I doubt if you'll need to. It is most likely a software issue and the restore should fix it. If it does turn out to be hardware, an out of warranty repair would be $199. Not cheap, but cheaper than buying a new phone before being elligible to upgrade.

Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions??
Why does siri starts in the locked screen even if i don't allow it in the restrictions? if a thief got my phone he can hold 3 sec the home button and with siri he can call and do what every he wants..
Thanks, you're my hero! :-)
The problem wasn't about the Restricitions because they are really irrelevant. The Problem was that i didn't had this Option to turn Siri off in the Touch ID & Passcode-Menu because i had to activate Siri first.
Here ist the way to deactivate Siri in the locked Screen:
[1] Settings > General > Siri > turn Siri on
[2] Settings > Touch ID & Passcode > ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED > turn Siri off -
Why does my macbook have the gray screen when it starts up?
my macbook pro has just started doing this - i keep it plugged in most of the time, and this has never been a problem for my previous macbook or before with this macbook until recently. every time i shut my laptop, and then open it later, it brings me to the gray screen with a white bar that loads pretty quickly, and then it brings me to my password login page. however, it takes a little longer for my mouse/cursor to be functional at this screen. any idea why this is happening? i have never had it do this before so i am not sure what is going on because i haven't been doing anything differently.
Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?----------------------->

What is nipalk.sys and why does it give me the Blue Screen of Death?
Recently I purchased a 6211 USB data acquistion unit. Everything worked fine until one day Windows Explorer crashed (we all know how rare that kind of event is...). When I re-booted, I got the Blue Screen of Death, with a message about nipalk.sys being the culprit. I booted in Safe Mode and re-named this file, and then was able to boot normally and re-install the driver software for the 6211, and everything was fine...for about a week, when Windows Explorer did it again (Oops!).
Does anyone know:
1. Which exact part of the install supplies nipalk.sys? It is a huge install with multiple parts accross 2 CDs. I could save a lot of time if I could restrict the install to just repairing the damage.
2. Can I just make a copy of nipalk.sys and tuck it away in some corner of my hard drive to use as a replacement when this happens?
3. I'm guessing that nipalk.sys is used by the little system tray icon that watches out for DAQ devices to be plugged into my USB. Is this guess correct? Can I turn this feature off for the 99% of the time I'm not using my laptop for data acquisition? Will that protect me against the gorking of nipalk.sys when Explorer goes down?
4. What is this driver doing that its file disk becomes corrupted during a Windows Explorer crash?Paul-
OK. When I can afford the time, I will try removing all NI software and re-installing. I have LabVIEW 8.0, DAQmx (of course), NI Vision development, and IMAQ.
I also had LabVIEW 7.1 on my machine because it was too much trouble to
remove it when I upgraded to 8.0 I have since removed 7.1, but I think there are still a lot of older versions of the "extras" that came along with it still lurking on my hard drive....
I was hoping for some guidance for a short-term "work around:"
1. If I just re-install DAQmx, can I make a copy of nipalk.sys and store it somewhere as a back-up to avoid the painfully long 2 CD re-install of DAQmx?
2. If the answer to 1 is "no", then exactly what part of DAQmx installs nipalk.sys? It is a multi-part install, and if I know which part is responsible for nipalk.sys, I can repair just that and save a lot of time.
To answer your questions about version: I'm not sure. I don't have convenient access to the disks at the moment, but they came with my 6211, which I ordered in May of 2007. I would be tempted to call it "the latest", but DAQmx seems to get updated quite frequently, so let's just call it a "recent" version.
Thanks,

Why does my MBP get the grey screen after backing up to external hard drive???
(firstly, i'm a complete moron on terminal, though i managed to unlock the external HD. i appreciate the simplicity of mac, i.e. a moron in many ways.)
for some bizarre reason, every time i copy files to the external HD, i end up with a lock on the external HD and the dreaded spinning grey screen when i restart the MBP. i've managed to get rid of the grey screen by reinstalling with the snow leopard DVD without formatting, but this is obviously not practical. am i doing something wrong??
the last time i did this, i dragged my "user" files. then i dragged my entire internal HD into a folder created in my external HD. i've done this with my powerbook and older OS without issues, but OS 10.5 and 10.6 don't seem to work without ending up with the spinning grey screen and a lock on the HD.
thanks in advance for your input. (and please keep it simple...)no, but it's definitely not due to a corrupt external drive. this happened with two different brands of drives. the first time with a lacie, i thought my MBP hard drive was damaged, but it was determined that a reinstall was all it needed. the same thing happened with an OWC. they both work fine. there seems to be some kind of a permission problem which gets screwed up somwhere.

Why does siri block out the entire screen?
And is there any solution to this ios7 problem?
WWhen is run into something to search for, phone number/name/model number....etc. that I could not just click on to search for or problematic or impossible to copy, I would bring up siri and then read off the word/model/ number to search with siri. Siri did not block out that information. With ios7 it is blocking out the information I need to input with siri. Is there any solution to this new problem or am I just screwed with the new ios7?Thanks, you're my hero! :-)

Why does object selection open the layer?
i have searched the help file to no avail. if i don't select-and-hold and move an object immediately i have to wait a second or two or the layer containing this object will open up and the frame appears around the object (indicating the layer is open like a folder?)
Have i accidently toggled something that is causing this behavior?
thanksIt's called "Isolation Mode". You can read about it in Help. It allows you to work in a group without affecting the rest of the illustration. It is especially useful for editing symbols.

Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!! Please help!!
Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.

How do you stop inadvertent contact with the touch screen? Why no Lock Button? Doesn't anyone work out at Apple?? MY Gen 7 also doesn't link to workout equipment automatically like my Gen 6 and I can't stop the bloody voiceover. Any thoughts?
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.

How does the Touch screen look in direct / indirect sunlight?
Was sitting on the LIRR heading home when I had this thought... after watching some guy playing with his PSP, as the sun was falling on his screen.... hhmmmm, I wondered how my Touch, which is now enroute from Anchorage, is going to handle the sunlight hitting it? Will I be able to watch my movies/tv shows without problem? How does the Touches screen look when sunlight hits it. I realize that sunlight hitting the screen is not an optimal viewing situation, but couldn't help but think how it would look. Those that are lucky to have one.... how does it handle sunlight?
readable, but not great. I had it out in bright Ozzie sunshine and I could use it, but I wouldn't watch a movie on it.

My i-phone 4 has been freezing up on me as of late. The buttons will still work but the touch screen does not respond to my touch.
Is my phone hooped or can I do sometinhg to fix it?First thing to try is a reboot of your iPhone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPhone restart. See if that fixes your problem.
