  • Dark vertical line on iPad mini screen

    Has anyone had a dark shaded line running vertically on iPad mini?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Backlight bleeding on IPad 3

    Hello everyone,
    I be just noticed that my new iPad 3 has a backlight bleeding on theright corner bottom ... Is anyone experience the same problem ? Should I ask a replacement ?
    Thanks

    You may want to check this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2779476?start=0&tstart=0 for more information on the iPad history and light leakage.
    You could exchange it. I would if it was bothering me.

  • Rented movie not under Videos (iPad mini)

    Rented Zero Dark Thirty for my ipad mini. Looked under videos icon - only thing display is "you have no videos, go buy some at itunes" or whatever it says... any help figuring out whats going on?

    The iPad had plenty of room before the download. The reason it is full now is because I downloaded the movie twice.
    What I have done:
    Rent a movie
    Couldn't find movie in Video app
    Re-rented movie again
    Charged 4.99 two times
    Downloaded again
    Double to storage room now
    Space free went from 12GB to 503MB in the span of 2 hours

  • IPad 2 'backlight bleed'?

    We have three iPad's in the family, two iPad 2's and one iPad.  My iPad 2, which I have had since last August, has a fairly bright and noticeable light shining in from the left hand edge of the display.  This is what I would call 'backlight bleed'.
    Is this a known issue and, if so, given the amount of money I paid for it, I don't want it repaired so I entitled to have it replaced under warranty?

    Hi
    Thank you for your response.
    I'll have a look at the thread you included and see how my iPad 2 compares but, what I would like is a black or reasonably dark wallpaper to check out if there are any other parts of the display which also have this issue.
    Any suggestions on where I could find such a wallpaper?
    It's too early to say about what I'd like to do but I would certainly not accept any repair and I'm sure Apple Support would be very understanding, especially as the iPad 2 is only just 4 months old?

  • IPad Mini Backlight Not Working

    Hi,
    I am looking at a iPad Mini to buy online that has a non working backlight but still powers on. Does anyone know how to do it, any DIY guides, or has done it themselves? I would rather try to do it myself before sending it off to be serviced for $$$.
    Thanks for all answers and questions in advance!

    Here's a DIY site http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPad
    However, I agree with robdrage above about Activation lock and wouldn't buy it.
     Cheers, Tom

  • IPad mini backlight issues after digitizer replacement

    I recently replaced the digitizer on my 1st gen iPad mini, and after reassembly, I'm havering issues with the backlight. Please have a look at my photo and let me know what the issue may be.
    Thanks a lot,
    Dave

    I guess I should have mentioned before that this is my second time replacing it. The first time there was a faulty digitizer and the home button wouldn't work. But the touch screen DID work. Now its flipped, my second time around fixing it the home button works fine and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I thought it might have some damage from being dropped but the touch screen worked before. So I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or if its something i can fix. Thanks

  • Anybody seeing Screen Flaws (Uneven Tint, Dark Spots, Bookspine, etc) on iPad Mini 2?

    We know all iPad Air has the issues describe in topic name already.
    Those of you that just have received the iPad Mini 2, can you check the screen for uneven whites / tints, dark spots / book spines?  You can check by setting your background color to all black or white.  If you are lazy to do this, just open up an internet browser and open up a page with white background.  Check for uneven whites / tints.  Report the color of your white / tints and where they are located.
    Man tanks!

  • Frequency of iPAD Backlight Bleeding

    Dears,
    Just i like to know the frequency of iPAD backlight bleeding, is this a common problem in all iPADs where can i find bleeding around the screen corners (to look bright than the other areas)
    and is there any solution to fix this problem ?
    Thanks

    I've never seen it on my iPad or the iPads I played with at BestBuy and Apple. It also doesn't come up that often on these forums.
    If the standard troubleshooting in the manual doesn't correct your issue, the next step is a trip to the Genius Bar.

  • Planning to Buy iPad-3 concerned about Backlight Bleeding issue !

    Hi Guys,
    I am planning to buy the iPad-3, BUt with so many issues of Backlight Bleeding issues popping up. It looks a Rampant issue. Do you guys think I should wait some days before the First Batch of Munfacturing is sold out. Maybe once the Second Batch of production hits the stores this problem would not be there. But at the moment looks like Early Production and the Hasty process to get the Products out on Launch day and ready for delivery could have been the reason these issues slipped out of Quality Control. Do I wait like a month or so? I can do that, will waiting a month help ? I hope I dont get it in my iPad. I dont wanna go through the hassles of exchanging and stuff I would rather wait and buy a little late than go through these issues.
    Cheers !

    Augustya, you are always free to wait until another round of hardware becomes available if you are concerned about problems people are having.
    I would point out, though, that the discussion group is often looked at as an emergency room in a hostpital...you see only problems because no one healthy goes there.  You can get a false sense of the magnitude of problems if you only look at the number of complaints showing up here.
    On the news last night they said Apple sold over 3 million iPads last weekend...the couple dozen problems brought up on here is insignificant out of 3 million items.  Another way of looking at the magnitude of the problem.
    So if you have the ability to buy now, you can always go to the store, Apple if that is what you have available, open the iPad there, check it out (they come charged) and see if there is a light bleed problem.  If so complain on the spot and ask for a different unit.
    Or wait for another round to be manufactured...just do what you are most comfortable doing.

  • IPad 2 64GB (White) Backlight Bleeding

    Hi all, I just received my iPad 2, but I noticed near the home button when I view black photo/web brosing I noticed a "Backlight Bleeding" on my iPad 2.
    Is this consider damanage?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, restore your iPad >  iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    Otherwise, take your iPad in for service >  Apple - Find Locations

  • Dark Spots on rMBP=Backlight Bleed?

    Recently just purchased a Retina Macbook Pro refurb from the Apple store. Screen is a Samsung and perfect in all other respects: no dead pixels, no mura etc. The only issue I notice is when I turn the screen to an extreme angle, I see these darker spots on a white screen:
    Should I be concerned or have others seen this issue as well? I really don't want to go through screen after screen.

    Actually let me clear up a mistake I've made...
    What I meant to say was that Apple were unable to *replace* the screen at this late juncture in time but *they can* in fact repair it. What I meant to say was that I asked Apple if a replacement would be possible but they said that the reseller would need to be contacted as they had final word on this. In the end the reseller declined and said that a repair was the only option. Sorry for the mixup there.
    Anyway, I think I'll go with Apple rather than my reseller to get the replacement done. One can only assume that the Genius bar service centre is top notch when it comes to repairs? Would be interested to know if anybody here on the forums has had their iMac screens replaced by Apple due to backlight bleed (or even a different issue) and how it ended up working out for them?
    Thanks.

  • My iPad Mini display is dim so i can barely see anything and I maxed up the back lighting is it broken already??

    Bought an iPad mini not long ago and the display suddenly went "black", there is absolutely no brightness in the display rendering it useless. I can make out the icons when i sit down in the dark and i can see the back lighting is set to max. I live in denmark and we have no apple store, its still in the warranty period, but where do i take it for repair? Can it be a software bug? I want to fix the problem fast. When i sit in absolute darkness with the wall plug connected I can see one backlight lighting up from the buttom right corner where the speaker is.

    Assuming that you have a credit card in the UK, with a valid billing address for that credit card that matches the credit card statement ....
    Launch the app store app. Go to the Featured Tab. Swipe to the bottom of the screen. Your ID is accessible in the lower left corner. Tap on the ID. Then tap View Apple ID. Enter your password. Go down to Country/Region and change the store to the UK in there.

  • My iPad mini with retina display has blue edges?!

    Similar to what I heard about the new Kindle HDX 7 to my dismay, my iPad mini with retina display that I drove an hour to pickup at the closest Apple store  has an extremely noticeable blue tint on the top of the screen. Also ever so slightly on the right hand side. Anyone else have this? Am I being too picky? Will the apple store replace this? I paid Apple's premium price so I feel it should be perfect.

    Yeah it's definitely not normal. I was thinking I'm not waiting 5 days for a replacement so I drove an hour back to the Apple store and got a replacement. The Apple employee was very helpful and could clearly see the blue hue. I ended up switching to a white model to change it up, and because they had zero 32gb black models. I love the white it makes it feel totally newer versus my old black non retina mini. So moral of the story, don't settle for blue backlight bleeding. This new one has NONE and I'm 100% satisfied!!
