How to Repair iPod Screen [Guide] An Apple iPod is one of the most prized possessions of the owner of one. And if there is a problem with a new one, it is a big hassle for the owner, not mentioning the mental stress that one has to go through when such an expensive gadget develops a problem. A very common problem that an ipod may develop is  that of a defective screen, commonly called negative black effect. These sort of screens have problems displaying dark colors. Often what happens is that the screen is quirky of flickering while playing the videos on the ipod. This may be a very frustrating problem. There may be a few reasons why this happens. Let us see how we can try to eliminate the iPod screen problems.. Guide to Repair iPod Screen One of the best way to solving it permanently is to replace the screen completely. There are companies which can facilitate this process for you. Most of them have the largest inventory of hard to find digitizers, glass lenses, and LCD screens available for the ipod and iphone models. The ipod screens they provide help fix the problems fast. Most of the screens include free installation. This is the way how you can avail this service. 1. Order the ipod screen replacement service available at the website of the company. In this, you can choose Rapid Repair to do the installation for you, or choose self-installation. 2. Send your device to their Repair Service Center using your own packaging. Instructions on where to send it will be sent to your E-mail address after you complete the order. 3. Once received, a Technician will replace the screen with a tested, fully functional Apple OEM screen for that particular model. And if all these solutions are not good enough for you, and you want to try repairing ipod screen on your own then: First, turn the auto brightness off on your iPod. This may reduce the flickering of the screen and if you are lucky, then this simple thing may solve the problem of the screen of your ipod for a long time to come. Check if the battery is low, although this kind of a problem happens even if  your battery is fully charged and the ipod is running off the USB power. Put a little pressure on the back and bottom right corner and the ipod device would usually correct itself for a while. This is a method that of course, is not a permanent solution to the problem in hand, but the fact remains that you can use this method as a temporary measure until the manufacturer replaces your device. Manufacturers of ipods have finally officially acknowledged that the problem is a really existing one and that a corporate policy on fixing ipod touch screen problems is a necessity. The causes of the problem has been narrowed down to bad quality control of the manufacturer and misapplication of the reflective coating of the LCD screen. Companies like Apple have launched replacement policies for the defective touch devices until upgraded outputs have been released to meet the expectations of the clients. Software updates have not proved effective so far.

The Little Battle Between Apple and Adobe Because Apple refused to integrate Flash applications in the Apple iPad and iPhone, Adobe has thrown a lot of not so nice statements against Apple. Apple seemed not to mind as it always stayed so silent and never gave a reply. Well, that is actually how it was before. Just recently, in a public statement which may have been done once in a blue moon, a representative from Apple had given the company's response to Adobe's allegations about the former tying down software developers to the iPhone and would not allow usage of cross-platform such as Flash. Apple's spokesperson, Trudy Muller, announced to CNET that it was actually the other way around. If there is any application that is proprietary and closed to other developers, that is Adobe's Flash. In truth, H.264, JavaScript, CSS and HTML5 are all standard, basic and open. The beginning of the string was when Flash did not appear as one of the many applications of the iPhone. This incident was followed in a little battle when Lee Brimelow from Adobe had announced in a special meeting that a few of the most widely-known sites relied on Flash and that some Jobs are not satisfied with the technology. Then soon after when iPad was launched, it was Apple's turn to enlist and enumerate sites that are supporting iPad application, most of which do not even have a shadow of Flash. Incidentally, the company plans to present conversion ability of Flash to Ipad programs and applications to developers such as what took place with the iPhone. In response to this, Apple decided that the terms of iPhone developers be altered as such that only just a few programming languages may be allowed, Flash is not included among these selected few. It was so unfortunate for Adobe as it has included a major feature in its latest Creative Suite 5 regarding this Flash applications conversion into iPhone program. One can call this an instant product kill. Then came the announcement by Adobe that future versions of Creative Suite shall not include any feature about Flash-iPhone conversion. What made it interesting was that along the process, Adobe surely made a hit on Apple. Mike Chambers, the Principal product manager of Adobe Flash developer's relation has made special mention of Apple being one of the locked and closed platforms which in the near future shall be brought down by open programs.
