DOES THE IPAD SCREEN SHATTER EASILY?

I have had my IPAD for 3 months and love it! I travel a lot and use it for business. I have a carrying case which is well padded and the other day when I returned from a business trip I opened up my case and found that my IPAD screen was shattered on the upper left hand side. I then called APPLE to find out that I would have to pay over $500.00 for a refurbished IPAD. Is this common? I am a big user of APPLE products and currently have a APPLE home system and a IPHONE and have been happy with these products but not to pleased with what happened the other day to my IPAD...

Glass breaks if not handled appropriately. Whether it be a drinking glass, spectacles, a window, a TV screen or whatever.
It is not at all common for the screen to shatter under normal use, but if something heavy hits the glass, it is dropped or pressure is put on it, then any glass may break. It's certainly not a problem inherent to the iPad.
Accidental damage is not covered by the manufacturers warranty.

Does the ipad air scratch easily ?

I have the new ipad air and I was wondering does it scratch easily just of typing from the on screen keyboard. I want to know because I am tempted to buy a screen protector just in case I accidentally scratch while typing essays.
If anyone has any advice or experience on this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks.

I've been using an iPad air since the forte day of its availability. I do not think it scratches easily. Whether or not to use a screen protector might depend on where and how you use your iPad. With normal home type use I do not think a screen protector is advisable. But if you use your iPad in dusty dirty work environments then I would consider using a screen protector and a heavy duty case.

How many Lumens does the Ipad screen put out at various brightness settings?

I was hoping for the amount of lumens at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%,and 100%.

Of course I went to the Apple store as directed by Verizon employee only to be told that that my warranty wouldn't cover any work Apple did on the phone because it was a replacement phone and not the brand new phone I purchased at the start of my Verizon plan.

Does the Dynex screen protector have an orange peel effect on the iPad 2 screen?

Noticed one of these screen protectors going for $5 CAD at Futureshop. From what I've seen, that is very cheap for a screen protector. Does anyone have experience with these? Any qualms? If it's decent and it isn't going to leave annoying residue on my screen, why not? Thanks in advance, guys.

Today I installed on my iPad 2 a Dynex Screen-Protector bought at Future Shop for $5. The surface of the protector is smooth as glass (no "orange peel" effect). That and the price are on the plus side. On the negative side, the bubble problem is severe. According to numerous YouTube videos, this is common to all static-cling protectors. Pure air bubbles are easily pushed out. But bubbles over dust particles or tiny fibres are difficult. Even using the Scotch Tape method, you no sooner get rid of one dust mote, than ten more settle on the screen. Bottom line: The iPad screen is too large for static-cling protectors. The very design which makes the plastic film cling nicely to the screen, also makes dust cling through static electricity. Expect bubble-removal to be time-consuming unless you are very experienced, or have access to an Industrial Clean Room. I did not try to make mine perfect, as it is only temporary until I can order a Moshi iVisor or similar product.

When ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen

when ipad connected to windows computer for sync I cannot install or remove an app. Screen does not react. Also lost my app store app from the ipad screen. IPad is ipad 2 and op system is 8.1.1. Just tried full restore and still the situation is the same.

For the missing App Store issue, if you swiped fro screen to screen to look in other folders and didn't find it, and did a spotlight search to see which folder it is in and had no success with that, Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
For the syncing issue, which screen does not react, the computer and iTunes or the iPad?

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Airplay streaming stops when you turn off the iPad screen

Hi All,
If you are streaming something from your iPad using Airplay, and you hit the button to turn off the iPad screen, it seems that the streaming stops...
Is there any way to fix that? I mean, if you are watching a long video, for example, you don't want your iPad to remain on the whole time.
Any advice?
- Thanx
- Jon

Jon-
You are saying the AirPlay App does not work when the iPad goes to sleep. Other Apps do, including the Music App, so you might expect AirPlay to work as well.
Another limit may be the timer setting at Settings-General-Auto Lock. Mine is set to 5 Minutes by default. You may need to set yours to Never, to keep the iPad from sleeping while streaming.
I suggest you provide feedback to Apple at <iPad Feedback>.

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.

Is the iPad screen plastic

does the iPad have a plastic screen?

The overlay of the screen is made out of gorilla glass same as the first generation iPad as well as the second generation and so on. It should be scratch resistant under regular use. I have the iPad3 since April 2012 and no screen protector on the screen and so far so good. Bought a few of o eBay but never used them. But I know a few of my friends that have the iPad 2 without screen protectors and have already scratch the screen .

Recording the iPad Screen

Hi,
how is it possible to record the iPad-screen?
I've to make some videos for presentation at a websession, and can't find a App or something else to record the iPad screen.
All the hints in the internet for screenrecording are with a jailbreak. I don't want to jailbreak my iPad.
Thanks for every hint
Regards,
Joachim

Everyone I know of that is recording screen activity on an iPad is doing so via a video camera of some sort or using the emulator that's part of the iOS SDK and recording that screen on the development computer. As DJ said, there's no way to record screen activity from within the iPad without hacking.
Regards.

Why does the iPad 2 run out of memory

Why does the iPad 2 run out of memory?

First ...read deggie's response. Makes sense - even a computer running a large amount of RAM can run short on memory depending upon the operation you are performing so sometimes you have to do what is available to "clear" the memory.
You can ...close apps and restart the iPad on occasion. You close apps by double tapping the home button to bring up your recent apps in the multitasking tray. Tap and hold down on any of the icons until they all begin to wiggle. Then tap the minus signs in the corner of the apps to close them. Close all of your apps in that area. Also take note of how many apps are down there. That may have something to do with why the iPad is running out of memory. Tap the home button twice to return to the home screen. Then restart your iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If you do this once in a while, it may make a difference in how your iPad performs. In any event, it will not hurt anything.
