App icons turn black on iPad

After updating two apps, their icons turn black on my latest gen iPad. Did a reinstall of the apps and an iPad reset. Problem persists.

Hey guys I believe It's because the apps are 'refreshing'. I think this is new to iOS 7 because I don't remember it happening before...
If you go into your settings-->general--> and about halfway down the list is BACKGROUND APP REFRESH.
I wish I could include a picture to make it easier but if you go into this setting you will see a list of all the apps that will refresh and also the master switch that turns them all off.. I'm not sure what it's doing when it's refreshing tho, maybe checking for updates or location?
Hope this helps,
Mister

Download the app?
Check all of your alternate home screens and check all folders for the app.

What does it mean when a file's preview icon turns black?

So, I need some help with this one. I'm stumped. I noticed some of my file preview icons turn black. What does this mean? Is the file corrupt? When I try to open the file nothing appears other than a big black image. What's going on? I'm thinking I should reinstall Mac OS X because something might be screwed up. Need advice!

Mountain Lion Recovery
Boot up from your computer by holding down the command+r keys. This will take you to the recovery drive.
Select Disk Utility & hit Return.
In Disk Utility select the HD on the left & click on Repair Disk (bottom right).
Repair permissions when you reach the desktop and restart your computer. Preview icons still black?

Apple icon turned black: What does this mean?

I can't seem to find a good keyword combo to get an answer out of the help section or google, so I thought I'd post here.
What does it mean when your apple icon turns black? It was blue before I installed some software updates. Pic here: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b177/theneondragon/Picture1-2.png I'm worried because the black makes me think something's not working, like an off light.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What does it mean when your apple icon turns black?
It means you're running 10.5.
There is nothing to worry about.

Weird parts of screen and icons turning black with white bands?

So I've been getting these weird flashes on my screen, mostly when using the internet, but also sometimes icons appear similar to the flashes as pictured below... it should be the calculator app icon but instead it's black with white streaks.
Or here's the link for a better view:
http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4ldthLn49zAmGLhSypdgog?feat=directlink
I see it mostly when loading a page on the internet... for a split second the whole frame turns black with white horizontal streaks. I tried to get a screen capture of it but it happens too fast. The whole monitor doesn't turn black, just the window I'm using.
I did a little research and think it might be screen artifacts and maybe my graphics card is going bad... but can someone confirm or deny this? Does it sound like something else? It seems to be getting worse... so I want to get it taken care of.
Any help would be great.
Here's my graphics card info... *i think*
GeForce FX 5200:
Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 64 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0321
Revision ID: 0x00a2
ROM Revision: 2060

Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test.
It sounds like the Video card, but you might also Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

And/or iStat Pro...

If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.

How do I get the apps icon back on my iPad? My baby deleted it.

I can't find a recycle bin to reinstall it. When I go to settings there is no option to reinstall it.

The App Store app is a built-in app, so it can't be deleted (and there isn't a recycle bin on the iPad). If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
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.

I have an app that I started to download. It is stuck in "downloading" and I cannot get it off my iPad. The "x" won't appear when I hold down on the app icon.

Boot off your iPad and turn it back on. Hold the button on the top until the "slide to power off" shows up. When you boot back up it will be gone and then you can re-install the app.

Scrollbars turns black and OS hangs for a second every half a minute

Hi,
For a few weeks I've been having this very annoying bug where suddenly all apps scrollbars turns black and the mouse/keyboard hangs for a few second then they reappears and mouse/keyboard are working again.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like when scrollbars are going black:
http://i.imgur.com/Uk1rXse.png
At first it was doing it about 1 time every 5 minutes but now it has become literally unworkable as it hangs every 20-30 seconds.
I tried killing all the active processes (apps) to see if it would fix the problem but no luck it still hangs very often.
Any ideas or suggestions about that?
FYI: I'm using a multi-monitor setup just in case that could help figure out what's happening.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Can I make app icons larger?

Hi all,
Just wondering if it was possible to make the app icons bigger on the ipad screen. Say, only have 2 large icons in a row. The only solution I found was to use the zoom feature but this isnt reall what I want.
Many thanks in advance

No. Sorry Apple have not allowed this but you can go to settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom if you have trouble reading them.

Developer App .ipa when loaded into ipad is blank screen

Hello everyone,
curious if anyone has had this issue. I have finished my app and used the DPS App Builder to process the App. it genereated the Developer .ipa to install on the ipad, and the file is only 7.5MB the file sent to apple for review was over 100MB. Now when I install the developer .ipa to the ipad, my app icon appears on the ipad, as well as the splash screen that was created. But then it goes to a blank screen.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
R.

i am not a creative cloud customer.
Is there something that can be fixed? Do i just have to swtich how DPS fulfills the service?
please advise.
thank you!

You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.
The User Guide would be good for you to read:

Ipad screen turned black in Safari.(only in Safari. other apps are working)

I was using Youtube through Safari. I clicked a video and made it full screen and then the screen turned black. It didn't show me the usual appearance of a video in Youtube.(the pause button, the progress of the video,etc) Although the games and the apps still work. I tried closing it first then opening it again. when i went back it still shows a black screen with the word Ipad and the time. Does anybody have ideas on how to put it back to its normal self? Please HELP!!!!

If this is happening using Safari it usually means that Safari has run out of internal Memory and crashes. One way to help Safari would be have as few tabs open as possible.
Note that the iPad 2 only has 512 MB of internal memory.
The later iPads have more:
iPad 3 - 1 GB
iPad 4 - 1 GB
iPad Air - 1 GB
iPad Air 2 - 2 GB

My ipad was in the process of updating (ios7) while at the same time syncing with my laptop. suddenly the screen turned black and after few seconds the new itune icon appeared on the screen. the same icon appears even after i reset it.
