HT201412 iPad screen does not respond, even after several resets (both with iTunes and at the Apple Store). Apple is also unresponsive to a hardware problem once the product warranty period has expired. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It is getting very frustrating to have Apple products.
Constant software upgrades and product releases seems to be the sole focus of Apple.
Apple does not offer hardware repair services. I can understand this policy when products do not fail. But it seems that this is not the case with Apple, as it becomes frequent that products fail just after the warranty period.
New software releases also destroyed the value of a "GREAT EXPERIENCE". YouTube, Google Maps, ... all features that are deleted with the latest IOS and that Apple could not properly replace.
It seems that Apple products are not 'consummable' products but 'disposable' products.
Let's see how robust SAMSUNG tablets are

Apple has hardware repair services, on repairable hardware. Apple just doesn't repair iPads, from day one Apple has always replaced iPads, either under warranty or as a reduced cost out-of-warranty purchase.
The rest of your post is just a rant. Enjoy your Samsung products.

    Hello: Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
    Could you specify the Mac OS X version and also what computer you
    are using it on, with some detail? Some of these kinds of issues, while
    they may seem the same across various years of OS X, can have
    different causes and also different cures.
    With that information, someone may be capable of researching a reply
    most suited to try & see if it works in your computer + OS X system.
    One idea, which may/may not help, would be to start the computer
    from its most recent OS X DVD install disc, unless it has OS X 10.7
    or Later, where there is a Recovery partition on the HDD to boot from.
    Then use Disk Utility> repair disk, while there, also repair permissions.
    Thanks.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • IPad touch screen does not respond even after full restore and update

    I have an iPad 2 64 GB
    It has for a number of months intermittently stopped responding to any touch screen inputs. This issue began almost as soon as I opened the iPad for the first time. As it was happening very rarely and normally responded eventually, so I thought nothing of it.
    This week the iPad will not respond to any touch input at all (Home, On/Off, Volume and Mute buttons still respond). I have tried the hard reset process a number of times and still nothing.
    I backed up the device to my machine and applied the latest update 5.1.1 and still no response. I then did a factory reset and still nothing.
    I have never dropped or damaged my iPad in any way.
    Does anybody know of any ongoing issues with the touch screen or a solution to this problem?

    Thank you.
    I've already booked myself in to the Genius Bar this week.
    I suspect it is a hardware failure and more specifically a loose internal connection.

  • Question: What do I do if ipod does not respond even after reset

    I tried the advise, holding the sleep button and when the red slider appears I touched on the home screen until it fades. Still doest respond if aI turn on the pod. Please help, I can buy a new one anymore

    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 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.

  • Mail application does not respond even after forcing quit over and over

    My mail application is not responding. I have forced quit at least 5 times and I still get the beach ball. This just started happening 2 days ago and now I can't access my mail at all.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • IPhoto does not respond even after I upgraded to iLife '11 version

    Every time that I attempt to open up iPhoto it immediately freezes, and all the sites and manuals I have read say that I need to reinstall the program, I need to upgrade to the '11 version anyway (I had the '09 version I think) so I just bought the upgrade from the app store hoping that would fix the issue. Now it does open for two seconds, then says that I need to upgrade my library. I click ok and then it freezes up again. I am beyond frustrated and could really use the help, thanks!

  • Touch screen in not working even after Hard Reset

    My Palm Treo 750 stopped working and responding suddenly........i tried a soft rest which didn't worked i then tried hard reset but in both cases the device boots and screen pops up "Tap the Screen to Start The Device". However this is the point where my device  hangs up even after resetting it several times. I have also downloaded reset software from the palm website but unfortunately it only runs/works from palm device. i have installed microsoft active sync from the palm CD and my device is detected and syncronized using USB cable which prbably shows it doesnot have a hardware issue.  
    Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

    Remove any screen protecters or cases, then hard reset again. If the problem continues then it will need to be repaired or replaced.

  • IPad touchscreen is not responding even if I did the restart procedure.

    iPad touchscreen is not responding even if I did the restart procedure.

    Hi AngusZ,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: Not responding or does not turn on
    Resolution
    Follow the appropriate steps for the symptom you're experiencing.
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close
    If the device is unresponsive or certain controls aren't working as expected, try restarting
    To turn off the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Slide your finger across the slider to turn off the device.
    To turn on the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), try resetting Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.
    If there is no video, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the 10W USB Power Adapter.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Home button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, let the device to continue to charge until it turns on.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!
    - Judy

  • All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

    All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes. 
    The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

    I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
    for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!
