Black rectangle blocking iPad screen

Recently when my iPad died and I went to charge it, it had a black rectangle (with a few colourful lines through it) appearing on the screen. The rectangle blocks all of the content behind it. I can still use the iPad but this huge rectangle takes up about 1/3 of the screen, right in the middle. Does anyone know what this could be?

  • HT4061 Black line on iPad screen

    Black line on iPad screen?

    I have an Ipad 1 gen bought in 2010. Doing some research I think there is a connection between date bought and the screens. Thick striped, black white or colored but Apple are refusing to acknowledge. If I can get enough people I will take this further if I can! Please join me on Facebook @Apple Ipad screen issues Thanks!

    If the screen is blurry, there might be something wrong with the iPad hardware. That shouldn't happen if the iPad is only one month old. You can try rebooting one more time and see if that corrects it. If it doesn't - and if you have an Apple Store nearby in the Phillipines - you might want to take it to the store and let an Apple Genius look at it.

  • B&W G3 gets Black Rectangle on Boot - Hangs

    My B&W G3 will not boot OS X 10.4 anymore. It worked fine before. Now when it boots I get the Apple logo then I get a solid black rectangle in the middle of the screen and it hanges.
    I put the 10.4 DVD in the drive and pressed C on boot. It starts to boot from the DVD then bang I get the solid black rectangle.
    I took all the cards out except the video card. I droped the RAM to 1 stick (256 MB). No help.
    It is booting from an Apple 6 GB IDE drive.
    It is a revision 1 board.
    I replaced the battery, pressed the CUDA ect.
    I put in OS 9.2 CD and tried to boot from it as well. No luck. It hangs as well.
    No network is connected.
    I tried USB keyboard & Mouse and ADB. No help.
    Why am I getting the solid black rectangle on the screen after the Apple logo?
    Thanks!
    Tony

    Will it boot in Safe Mode? See

  • Export Window Has Gray Rectangle Blocking View

    Just recently started using Aperture again after not shooting for quite a while.
    I noticed that when I export a photo, there is a gray/black rectangle blocking part of my view. Does anyone know what is causing this?
    Here is a link to what I'm seeing: http://twitpic.com/jfqrm
    I'm also having problems with it crashing every once in while. Is this a Snow Leopard issue?
    btw, I've already tried to reinstall (over the current installation).

    I have been having the same problem for quite a while now.
    So far, I have determined it to be related to the non-aqua file selector that apple uses in their pro apps. (the grey one)
    Aperture, Soundtrack 2.0, Motion, DVD Studio Pro and Live Type all exhibit the same thing with a grey rectangle in ANY dialog that contains a file selector. So, it's not really an aperture only problem.
    I have two Mac Pro Desktops (Intel) that show the grey rectangle and one MacBookPro that does not.
    All are running snow leopard, although the problem has been with me at least since 10.5.
    I had originally thought it was bad video RAM, but for two machines to have exactly the same problem, with two different video cards showing a video glitch in exactly the same place would be almost impossible.
    Now, I'm starting to look for 3rd party application interference.
    I'll let you know if I ever get to the bottom of this mystery.

  • I can not get my iPad to mirror with Apple TV. When I toggle to mirror the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. The iPad iso is up to date

    I can not get my iPad to mirror on Apple TV. When I toggle the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. Have updated the iOS to latest settings and also updated the settings on the Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • My ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix

    my ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix, other than take it to apple.
    thanks!

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

  • My ipad screen has gone black but I can still touch the screen and unlock it and do things. I don't know what's wrong can someone help

    My ipad screen has gone black and I don't know what to do the screen still works and I can still unlock it and I can still type. But I don't know what to do can anyone help me it will be much appreciated

    If the reset doesn't do it then it's possible that the backlight or another part of your screen has broken. Unfortunately it's not really user servicible. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out. If your device is still under warranty and they don't determine that the damage was the result of 'abuse or neglect' (their words) then it could be a free replacement.
    I'd just do a backup before you take it in, just in case.

  • Ipad screen is white. Restored it on iTunes. Press home and on switch goes black then back to white with no logo at all. Can't get past the white screen. This happened after running app updates. 16GB OS 7.1.1

    The ipad screen is white. Holding buttons didn't work so I restored it on iTunes. When I press home and on switch, the screen is white,  goes black then back to white with no logo at all. Can't get past the white screen. This happened after running app updates. Is there any fix besides going to Apple store? In iTunes on computer can see what is on there. 16GB OS 7.1.1

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • HT4759 My icloud  Backup text keeps showing and blocking my screen. I can't use my Ipad now

    My icloud  Backup text keeps showing and blocking my screen. I can't use my Ipad. I touch on either "Ignore" or "Setting" but it doesn't go away.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. (If you see an off slider first, ignore it.)

  • 9.7 inch to 11.4 inch screen by conversion of black rim into notouch screen and same size nextgen ipad?

    i would like to have a same size ipad (9.7 inch) with a bigger screen (11.4 inch) by turning the black surrounding rim into screen. But, in order to handle it like the black rim notouch, that part of the screen should ALSO be notouch. It would make a nice next generation Ipad with the same physical size.
    Sincerely,
    Maarten UiterwykWinkel.

    I was having this exact same problem, then it just stopped. I am using the nouveau driver and I have a tnt2 card.
    IIRC, I was having an unrelated problem with xorg or udev or something was having problems detecting my monitor, it claimed I had two monitors connected, I wrote an xorg.conf file and that fixed the problem. IDK if its is related or not because I don't recall exactly when things started working when I would switch ttys.
    Try using the nouveau driver and see if it does the same thing, it has a kernel module so it might make difference,
