Can the ipad screen get damaged with cleaning products?

Can the ipad mini screen be damaged if i use a cleaning product? (Lysol,wet wipes,....) And if so,how can the damage be noticed and repaired?

iPad
Handle your iPad with care to maintain its appearance. If you are concerned about scratching or abrasion, you can use one of the many cases sold separately. To clean iPad, unplug all cables and turn off iPad (press and hold the Sleep/Wake button, and then slide the onscreen slider). Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean iPad. iPad has an oleophobic coating on the screen; simply wipe iPad's screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oil left by your hands. The ability of this coating to repel oil will diminish over time with normal usage, and rubbing the screen with an abrasive material will further diminish its effect and may scratch your screen.

Turning off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes

Quick question: How do I turn off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes. Is this even possible? Are there settings I am overlooking? Or perhaps a third-party app which can make it happen?
I have a large library and often leave my iPad connected to iTunes for several hours at a stretch. The bright glowing screen can be a big distraction, and, more importantly I am very worried about pixel burn-in.
Cheers,

The iPad LED Backlit IPS Screen is not phosphor-based, so there is no permanent phosphor burn-in problem. You might see some image persistence, but that is not permanent and can be corrected. See this support article about image persistence: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
Since you have already converted your music to 128 kbps, you are unlikely to see any more 10+ hour syncs unless you have to do a restore. In that event, you could select the brightness control in settings to the lowest level.
FYI, there are some apps, such as Night stand HD that are designed to be used for long periods with unvarying displays and I have yet to see image persistence problems reported. However, since the iPad is still a new product, there may be some reports in the future.

Can the ipad 2 get a virus?

can the ipad 2 get a virus?

I'm not aware that there are currently any iOS viruses. There are no anti-virus app for the iPad as far as I know, the closest being VirusBarrier which is designed to stop the potential transfer of viruses/malware back to your computer from PDFs etc when you sync/copy content back to your computer

Is there any possibilities that the ipad screen get enlarged?

Hello,
For starter, I would like to say that I don't own a tablet yet.
Now for the real question, with the new technologies everyday and with all the competition between the companies, is apple going to enlarge the size of the ipad screen or do they see it fine as it is?
Its because every year or every 6 months there is a new product coming and the competition between the brands are getting higher and I cannot afford to change a product every year so how long should the ipad lives with me? And why I should choose Apple? (Beside the below message)
What I liked about the Apple is the quality of built and apps, but in other brands I am finding larger screens higher performance and an external slot for an SD card to expand the memory.
Thank you

Nobody here knows Apples future plans.
You can use an iPad for as long as you want. Nobody forces you to buy a new one every year. Apple usually provides OS updates to older devices for at least a few years.
Buy the tablet that suits your needs best.

Can the iPad screen be repaired. I dropped mine and the corner area is cracked

Can the IPad 2 screen be repaired, if so, how? I dropped mine and the corner area is cracked. Viewing screen still ok.

Accidental damage isn't covered by the warranty, unless you are in the US and bought AppleCare+ (which covers 2 cases for an excess). In the US the price for repair (i.e. replacement as it's a sealed unit) is $249 for the iPad 2 (plus $6.95 if shipping is required), and here in the UK it's £199 (plus £6.95 if shipping). Third-party companies might be able to repair it for less, but using an unauthorised repairer would void any warranty that you have left (you'd also get 90 days warranty from Apple if you do it via them)

Can the ipad screen be replaced if it is broken

my ipad screen is completely broken. i dropped it from 3 feet and there's a big crack like a spider web and the white boundary around the screen is broken deeply!! i am from delhi, india and my dad lives in mumbai due to his office being there he regularly visits us. he bought the ipad from thailand and when he took to thh apple store in mumbai,maharashtra,india they said that it will be fine and now when the staff sent the product further for repairing ..... the news is that it can't be repaired or replaced!! what to do can you please tell me if it can be replaced!! and if it caan be then how much will it cost!!??????
price in india for ipad 2 = Rs. 40,000
replacement or repairing = Rs. 20,000 - 40,000 what to do???

Yes it can. NO idea how it'll work in India but I believe APple's policies are world wide. Replacement costs start at $249 and goes up depending on the model. What you're really paying for is a reduced cost to replace your broken one with a refurbished one.
I'd look for authorized repair shops in your area (the 'contact us' link on the lower right of this page goes to a page with phone numbers and links to world wide authorized repair places) and go from there.
Non-authorized ones will be cheaper but if you use one of those you will void any remainder of your factory warranty.

Cleaning the iPad Screen

*Microfiber cloth* works great, it requires only a light touch and cleans off all the fingerprints quickly and easily.
I tried eye glass cleaning cloth, liquid cleaner and tissues. The microfiber is 100 times better.

Absolute best way to clean the iPad screen is dry, with the 3M Scotch Brite High Performance Cleaning Cloth. The cloth costs $3-4, but it is a woven microfiber that pulls fingerprints and dust off like nothing else. I've tried a number of different cloths, including those that came with my HD TV, etc. The 3M flat makes 'em feel like using a paper towel (NOT recommended...). And when it gets dirty? Toss it in the washing machine.
I actually went and bought a couple spares - one for the house, one for my briefcase, and one for the office - just so I'd always have the right cloth handy. The iPad is a great device; I'd prefer it not be a great fingerprint display as well.

I changed a few settings and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shut off switch and can't back to the settings icon to change it back. Any ideas?

I changed a few settings on my iPad and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shutoff button and the button to get to all the icons won't let me get back to settings to change the settings back. Can anyone help?

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

My IPad screen is frozen with a message stating that the IPad has not been backed up to the ICloud for 7 weeks, this is not correct.I cannot get the messageto clear and cannot access any of the other icons; is there an emergency reboot process?

Hello Jesslocko,
Before following the iPad Restore process make sure you have updated version of iTunes installed on your computer, to check that Open iTunes on your computer click on Help and then check for updates ( If there is any updates available then Install it ) and If you do not have iTunes Installed or if you want to directly update the version of your iTunes then Download and Install iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
1. Make sure your device (iPad) is unplugged (Disconnected) from your computer (this should be the computer that you use to sync your iPad or you can use any other computer with iTunes installed in it). You can leave the USB cable connected to your iPad though.
2. Turn off your iPad. Press and hold the power button on the top edge until a slider appears. Slide it from left to right to power off your device. If the slider doesn't appear (because your iOS device has frozen up) then hold the power and Home buttons down until the iPhone or iPad turns off.
3. Ensure your device has a decent amount of charge. Leave it plugged in to the mains for 10 minutes or so if you see the flat battery icon. (iPad low battery)
4. Hold down the Home button (the round button at the bottom of your iPad screen) and connect the other end of USB cable to the computer this should cause your iPhone or iPad to turn on. Keep holding the Home button until you see the iTunes and USB cable images on your iPad screen, then release the button.(iPad recovery mode)
5. In iTunes (launch the application if it isn't running on your Computer), you should see a message saying an iPad has been found in recovery mode.
6. Click OK and then click on Restore to bring your iPad to Factory settings

I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
Thanks for any help! Regards

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.
Regards
