Why is my screen so dark I cannot see the icons?

My iPhone screen is soooooo dark that is virtually unreadable.  If held under a light, I can make out the icons.  The phone is fully functional if you can find the right icon to touch.  Help?

That would have been good info in the original post.  In any case, you likely have a hardware problem.  You can try to restore but you'll likely need to make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for a warranty replacement, if it's still under warranty.

  • I have downloaded an app but cannot see the icon

    I have downloaded an app but cannot see the icon. I have tried to download again from app store but it says it is installed

    Do you have restrictions enabled on the iPad? Settings>General>Restrictions? Maybe that is why you cannot see it. Have you swiped from screen to screen to look for it?
    You can search for the app to confirm that it is on the iPad, but that will not show you the location of the icon and if the app store says it is installed - then it is installed. But this would let you access the app. Swipe from the right in your first home screen and the search feature appears. Type in the name of the app to find it. you can tap on the icon to launch the app.
    Try restarting the iPad as well and maybe the icon will show up. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    This may even help if all else fails. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Why users with rights defined as View cannots see the data of the form ?

    Hi,
    I have a nice form page. My application has an authorization scheme with an authentification function : return acl_custom_auth. It is working well. I have defined users with Edit, View and Admin rights. Unfortunately on a form, if the user is defined as "View" he cannot see the data, he only sees the item but their content is not diplayed. I don't understand why. I would like him to see the data.
    The authorization scheme of the page is "Access control -view" as well as the items of the page.
    Do you have any idea of what is going wrong here ?
    Thank you for your kind help !
    Regards,
    Christian

    Another thing that can be done though mon tech-savy people may not know about it.
    Locate a group of PDF's and select at least 5-6 of them as a Group.
    hold down Option key while click on file menu
    Click on Get info.
    One window will open for the group.  in Mountain Lion (OSX.8.2) the term will change to Show Inspector.
    click on the  button next to Open With.
    choose either Reader or Acrobat.
    just bellow is a question Use Acrobat (or Reader) to open all files of this type, Click on it and choose yes.
    Make sure you have a mix of Adobe PDF's and Preview PDF/s for  this to work. If it wasn't good for opening other Type Files I'd compress Preview and throw the original away. It’s a nusiance.

    Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
    Thanks
    Derek

    Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
    If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

  • Purchased an app, it shows up in the general settings and when my iPad is hooked up to my PC but I cannot see the icon for the app on my iPad

    I need help figuring out what happened to an App I purchased and it doesn't show on my iPad.  It shows up in the general settings under apps, it show up when my iPad is hooked up to my PC. I need Help

    Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ? There is also a limit of 11 homescreens, after which apps are only accessible via the spotlight search screen. Is it hidden by an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? 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. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make it easier to find

  • I have a dilemma with my iphone 4s. I accidently dropped my iphone 4s by accident. The screen is not cracked. However, there is a green tint with a white line on the screen, even though I can see the icons and everything. Any way to fix this?

    So yeah!! Any one can tell what should I do now? Should i open the case of the iphone and tweek the lcd cables back in place?

    All they were asking is if someone could tell them what was wrong with it.......It sounds like your inner LCD screen cracked. I had the same problem. Mine was out of warrenty though so I actually bought the part off of Ebay and replaced it myself. The front screen and inner LCD are connected so you have to buy them the same way to fix it. It was like $28 and came with the tools. Just FYI. Obviously if you are in warrenty....have apple fix it.

  • I upgraded to iOS8 on my iphone and now cannot see the thumbnails of my pictures when I try to download onto my computer.

    I have an iphone 4 and an HP Pavillion with windows 7.  I always have been able to connect my iphone to my laptop and open
    the DCIM folder and see the picture icons so I can pick the ones I want to download.  After upgrading to iOS8 I cannot see the icons after a
    few seconds of connecting the phone to the computer.  They all turn into the windows icon.
    I do not want to try the icloud for windows control panel unless I can pick the pictures that will be transferred.  I don't want all the pictures I take on my computer.

  • Whenever I select something, for example, I cannot see the marching ants selection until I either scroll up or down or zoom in or out. This occurs whenever I paste an image as well--nothing shows on screen until I scroll up or down or zoom in or out. Why

    The apps in the iTunes Store are for a mobile device. Mac apps are in the Mac App Store.

    I bougnt my S5 a month ago and I am having two major issues.  The screen is very slow to respond.  When the screen is dark and I press the home button, it doesn't come on.  I have to press the button anywhere from 4-10 times and then it usually flashes on and back off.  It is very, very frustrating.  The other issue is that the battery drains very quickly.  I have called Verizon numerous times regarding these issues.  They tell me to do different things that never help.  We eventually did a factory reset and it still has the same issues.  Help!  It is a brand new phone and unfortunately I am in a new two year contract.  Ugh. Is there anyone out there who can help me?

    I have done that several times.  In fact, every time I call Verizon with my phone problems, they have me do the same things repeatedly.  I keep telling them I have already done them but they insist they are SURE it will work this time.  It never does.  After doing the factory reset and it still not working correctly, they act like they are confused, almost like I am lying.  I did what you suggested above on the slim chance it would work this time but it did not.  I bought two S5's that day and the other one works perfectly fine.  I know I got a bad phone.  Verizon just does not listen.  It is a bad phone.  I just want a new phone that works properly.  Is that too much to ask?  I bought a new phone that has been bad from day one.  Why oh why do I have to spend hours of my time on the phone, in the store, on the computer, trying to rectify this?  It shouldn't be this difficult!  Help please!!!

  • Why I cannot see the progress bar whenever I download my apps directly from my App Store ?

    Whenever I install an app, I cannot see the app's icon on the home screen and then when I proceed into the home page, the apps will not be installed unless I stay into the App Store and wait till the circle on the top of the screen stop turning. It is really very inconvenient. I'm using iPhone 4S. Anyone knows the solution? And I'm can't see the progress bar showing whether its downloading. I'm using IOS 6. And I've got another issue. Why whenever I want to reinstall the youtube they would say its free. When I press the 'free' it will go into the 'install' and then when I press the 'install', it would go back to 'free' and because of that I'm unable to download youtube. It's only youtube I'm able to install other apps. But ya, I cannot see the progress bar. Help anyone?

    Actually, the app is there, and it asks to PAY AGAIN, that was the issue, but I have just solved the problem using your first advice, as I tried a few times with different names in my account.
    For example, you told me to use the same ID...
    I have a ONE account, but sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and sometimes I sign in as [email protected] and that made all the difference, as I tried them all and finally with [email protected] worked and gave me the opportunity to download again.
    Thanks a lot for the tip.

  • My phone turn on but, i can hardly see the icons. The screen is dark. What happened

    I cannot see the i-cons on my phone. The screen is dark. The phone does not light up. Thank you.

    Some people have said that restoring has helped.  Others had to go to the Apple Store.  What you can try to do is hold the home + sleep button until it reboots.

    I just tried the link and it is just fine. If the GateKeeper pops up then open Security & Privacy preferences, click on the General tab, set the last radio button to Anywhere.

  • I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV

    I have just opened 2 new albums in photo but cannot see the albums thru' itunes when syncing my ipad or thru' the screen saver on ITV . My photo apps is Version 1.0 (209.52.0)

    Have you tried deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-trying the photo sync and see if they all then copy over (you need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad) ? The location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
    Don't know about the Facebook photo emailing, but there are a number of apps that allow to upload photos to their site (e.g. the 'official' Facebook app).
    (For future info, typing all in capitals is considered SHOUTING - you are more likely to get help/responses if you don't.)
