Black screen on ipad 2 - slight color semicircles around the edges

The screen is black but you can see a difference between the on/off thing. I have tried hitting it several times (though possibly too lightly I'm not sure I just don't want to hurt it more than necessary). I dropped it this morning onto a hard wood floor. It probably fell 2 and a half feet. I wasn't watching so I don't know what side it fell on. I can still work the ipad without seeing for the most part - I was able to turn the screen brightness up all the way and turn  on my music and switch songs. I can see tiny semicircles of pale red and yellow on the edges of the screen. I'm not sure what to do. Help D:

Some iPad users have been able to revive their dropped iPad. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP on the back. May take several slaps.

  • TS3274 My Ipad has a black background now and everything is color faded after the latest software update?  I restored and reset the Ipad.  How can this be fixed?

    My Ipad has a black background now and everything is color faded after the latest software update?  I restored and reset the Ipad.  How can this be fixed?

    How much data is being backed-up from each Mac?  (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
    Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
    Most likely, there just isn't room.  Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't.  Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).
    Also see #C4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for more details.

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    hi
    i have an iphone 4s and has not been a year yet no water damage but there is a white cloudy screen around the edges and will start going crazy with different colors and all someone please gel what is wrong with it?

    I switched the usb port and did the whole recovery holding of the buttons ect... And it worked, the computer detected the phone and i was able to click restore. However, the computer says preparing iphone for restore and it is still doing the restarting thing where the apple fades away and then comes back like it is restarting. If i can somehow get past this i will be able to go back to factory settings and resolve my problem, but this is where i am stuck.

  • How can I put a colored border around the whole page?

    I just want to know how to pur a colored border around the whole page?

    Hi Rachel,
    Here's an example. Instructions follow the image:
    Start with a new, Blank word processing document.
    Insert a rectangle shape (the darker green is the default colour)
    Change the colour to your desired border colour, using the Fill Color well in the format bar.
    Set the Stroke to none, using the first popup menu on the Format bar. (I missed this step in the example, leaving the black line seen at the rigth edge of the pages.)
    Drag the handles to resize to shape to cover the whole page.
    Go to the View menu and choose Show Layout to see thae area that text will occupy.
    Insert a second rectangle shape on the page.
    Set its Fill colour to whatever bckground colour you want in the text area,
    Set the Stroke to none.
    Resize the second shape to fit just outside the text area indicated on the Layout.
    Select both shapes, then go Arrange > Group.
    Go Arrange > Move Object to Background.
    Go Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
    If either of:
    Go Arrange > Make Background Objects Selectable
    Go Format > Advanced > Make Maste Objects Selectable
    have checkmarks beside them,
    Select that item to uncheck it.
    The frame will now appear on every page in the section.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Is there a way to fix the white or black screen on Ipad 4th Gen?

    Ive tried to reset it and restore to factory settings but this does not work. The screen was white until I restored to factory settings and now it's black when it starts up. Ive also let it die and tried to charge and power it on again but no go. It's an Ipad Black 32GB 4th Gen. I will post a link to one of the pictures I had of it below. I am wondering if I have to pay how much it'll be to fix. It was working great until about a week ago when it randomly happened. It was purchased in February of 2013.

    Try this  - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • I just got home from work where my iPad was working normal, but when I got home I pulled out my iPad and there's nothing but a black screen. I've tried to hold on the on buttone and the start button on the bottum front of the screen and so far nothing Why

    Unexplainable screen outage. Is there any ideas as to why a perfectly working screen would turn black and not be able to reopen? I was using at work, storeds it in my briefcase and when I got home I turned my iPad back on to work on my music files, but all I received was a black screen I've tried to hold town the on - off button at the top of the screeen and also the small button pad at the bottom of the screen, all with no changes. How do I get my iPad working again. I really depended on using this tonight. Any ideas?

    Is the iPad charged?  Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

  • Video black screen on iPad simple solution

    I clicked on my video to play and suddenly had a black screen. I searched forums and did the reset as instructed and the search for your videos and all that stuff but the same problem occurred over and over again. After the third time, I figured it's a program issue since everything else was working. I downloaded a video player for free.  Not only did I solve my problem, now I can put videos in my iPad without converting them since it can play several formats.  I posted this so other people experiencing or about to experience the same problem won't go to the hassle that I went through. Plus when you add videos on your IPad,  you don't have to waste your time converting them. I got flex player but I think there are other programs that play different formats, too.  

    Yeah. The ipad only can play certain formats. Usually just the most popular used. You would have to convert them if they are a different format to play under VIDEOS. The formats are in the TECH SPECS when you select the ipad on the support page. Or you can download an app(like what you did) easier way.

  • Apple TV 1G black screen or green and violet colors please help me

    Hi, I have an apple tv 1G and from one day to another is not black screen, the strange thing is that on another monitor "HP w2207" looks good. But I've tested Sony LED TV, LG, .... and does not work in some apple when starting out and color is violet and green and looks bad but does not exit the main menu. I've reinstalled the factory, I tried to change resolution I miss everything but nothing. I'm desperate please help me

    I also periodically have this purple/green color showing on the screen when I turn on and sometimes it happens when I turn on Directv so not an Apple TV issue.  I believe in my case it is the HDMI cable/port causing it.  But it corrects and gives normal picture if I turn off the tv and all devices and turn all on again.

  • Black screen on ipad

    I have a first series ipad that was working fine earlier today. Placed on charger and went back to find the ipad blank with a black screen. Tried resetting, turning power on and off, hard reset and even restored on my mac. The mac picks the ipad up and syncs no problem. No idea what to try now. Booked an appointment with genius bar but would love any advice in th meantme. The ipad is updated with current IOS.

    I just wanted to update you on what happened with my iPad 1. I took the iPad to a local authorized dealer thinking that my iPad was out of warranty. They told me they don't really fix the original iPad any more but to do it would cost $250. For that price I would put it towards a new iPad. I then called apple and asked them for advise. They also thought there was a problem with the backlight. When your son dropped your iPad he may have damaged or dislodged the backlight. Everything works on the iPad but you can't see anything. There are places online where you can send your iPad but for the cost I would just get a new one. The initial fee to jus look at it is $75-100. Fortunately for me I was still under my extended warranty and was able to have mine replaced. This is one time I was very happy to have spent the extra mo eh on the extended warranty plan. Good luck.
