Got a "Dead" Pixel on my Ipad, How is Apple with these sorts of things?

Okay, I have noticed I have a dead pixel, its more of a bright spot on my screen, Larger then a pixel, its a small area, where its brighter then the rest of the image, on white backgrounds its really noticeable, like when reading a book. How is Apple with Exchanging it with a new one? I bought mine at Best Buy btw.

This is Apple's policy on computer displays. They may be the similar on the iPad. I would get it looked at. They may just exchange it, seeing you just got it.

    Take it back in and gently but firmly try to persuade a senior supervisor to authorize a replacement. Had it been stuck on black, would have been easier on the persuasion, but you may get lucky.

  • I deleted movies from my ipad I had bought on my ipad, how do I redownload these on my computer?

    Tap the iTunes app icon on the iPad to launch it. Then tap the Purchased Tab on the bottom of the iTunes window. That will take you a window that shows all of your iTunes purchases. Tap the View button on the top left and you can choose music or TV shows from the resulting menu. Select TV shows. You can enter the name of the show in the search and if the show appears, tap the TV show name in the list on the left, then tap the TV Show icon in the window on the right and then tap on the cloud icon in the next window that pops up to download it.

    cont contact apple server error please help with ipad touch 4. im just fed up with apple please help me because why is it only apple with these kind of problems?

    If you mean updae server
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Otherwise what server are you talking about

    You can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • How to fix stuck/dead pixel on my iPad 2

    I just got an iPad 2 and I found out that there is a stuck/dead pixel on the screen. I thought that I could ignore it at the beginning but it just gets too annoying and it grabs my eye when doing anything. So I need to fix it. But first I need to know is it dead or stuck.
    On some colors it appeared in two different colors, it changes each time I look at it from different position.
    So on white : blue and red
    On black : it does not appear
    On purple : red and blue
    On red : blue and red (so it does not appear)
    On blue : black and blue
    I hope I gave enough information. Waiting for your help...
    P.S. I entered on YouTube and saw a video called stuck pixel fixer or something like that and I opened it for like three minutes each day for about three days now, and it did not fix it, do I need to play it for a specific time? Or do I need something else?

    there is an app (cant remeber the name sorry) but it it basical flix up soild images of colour (red,blue,yellow ect...) and it did it at a speed to try and shake the pixel into working agian, sorry i cant remember the name....but its sumit like screen cleaner or sumit like that.

  • My Ipad got a dead pixel...

    Can Apple change the Ipad for me? the dead pixel is in the center of the screen... very annoying...

    In my case I'm in Russia, alltough I've purchased the Ipad through an authorized reseller. Country's law regulations state that a sale of technologically advanced goods may not be replaced by the seller. Hence, the've sent me to an Apple's Service Center. It's been just a week after I've purchased the Ipad2 and the dead pixcel is in the middle of the screen.

  • Dead pixel in my iPad

    I was grievously disappointed to discover a dead pixel near the center of the screen in my iPad yesterday just before leaving to the U.S. from Japan.
    Almost everything I have ever gotten from Apple has had a defect like this and I've had to fight fight fight to get it fixed each time.
    But... I decided to see if I could get it replaced while here in the U.S.
    So I made an appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store at the Chestnut Hill Mall here in Boston and brought the iPad over at 2 pm.
    The guy at the Bar was nice, saw the broken pixel and immediately said he'd swap it for a new one for me! So I was very pleasantly surprised and glad about that.
    Then the new swapped one ALSO had a broken pixel - almost in the exact same area!!!
    So he sort of sighed, but did a 2nd swap out for a 3rd iPad. This time we looked and looked (while impatient people were backed up to get help) and couldn't find a single broken pixel.
    So fortunately this problem was resolved very nicely by Apple and I'm good to go. Using a 2 GB AT&T contract with an AT&T SIM card while I'm in the U.S.
    I'm surprised that two iPads in a row had a broken pixel, and almost in the same area. But I was really pleased at the friendly, reassuring service I got at the Genius Bar.

    Yes, extraordinary bad luck.
    While I haven't had problems with my desktop Macs (iMacs) or my iPhone 3G, every other mobile/portable device I ever bought from Apple, going back 20 years, has had something go wrong with it, usually from the start, often multiple times. Examples:
    - Duo: the screen had multiple broken pixels and needed to be replaced from the start.
    - iBook: the wireless card (then an option) was set improperly and wasn't working. Needed to be sent back for repair.
    - PowerBook G4: broken pixels needing replacement from the start, keyboard problems requiring top case and kb replacement. Also, that model had a really poorly designed cover that never closed properly (the famous wiggling cover problem.)
    - MacBook Pro: Failure 2 times in 3 years of my trackpad requiring replacement; broken pixels requiring replacement; hard disk failure requiring replacement. Two replacements of mother board! The last one 2 months after my AppleCare warranty ran out, but Apple fixed it anyway. Keyboard needing replacement. I'm using it right now on my trip to the U.S. and it's still working after almost 4 years, but it definitely has taken advantage of the AppleCare warranty multiple times. And I'm not a rough user - I almost never take it off my desk, except on travel.
    - iPod nano: Don't even get me started on that one. The screen was tilted (big discussion thread here) - they sent me 3 replacements, one worse than the other. I finally had to go to the Japan consumer affairs agency to force Apple to give me a refund. Which they finally did, with an apology and a gift certificate to use at the online store.
    - iPad: broken pixel needing replacement, followed by a 2nd iPad with another broken pixel needing immediate replacement.
    This is just what I can remember off the top of my head.
    Unless I am unusually unlucky, my own sampling over the years tells me that while Apple support is great and they take care of the problems after the fact, they definitely have quality issues coming out of the factory to begin with.
    I always have to "mentally prepare myself" before buying an Apple product because I know I am very likely going to have to invest a certain amount of time in dealing with Apple support and getting things fixed afterwards. Eventually it turns out ok each time, but just knowing I will have to deal with it is stressful.

  • I have one dead pixel on my iPad Mini, besides sending it back is there anything I could do?

    On my iPad Mini screen, since I have bought it, there has been one small black dot in the middle of the screen (I'm presuming a dead pixel because its absolutely always there). And I'm not too bothered about it but if there was something I could do without having to send it back that would be great!
    Thanks

    My iPad Mini arrived this morning with a dead pixel. I am going through the exchange process now. Hopefully the next one I recieve will not have this problem. Is this a popular issue?

  • I got some dead pixel in my ipod touch.

  • What should do if I got many dead pixels?

    I just got my new iMac 24" 2.8GHz for 2 days, and I got around 18 dead pixels if my eyes are not bad. I'm not sure they are appeared because of glass or not. What should I do, should I go to Apple store immediately with my iMac, right? Do I have to make any appointments with them or not? Thanks in advance.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    18 deads are too much.
    I would call the Store, explain the situation and ask for an exchange of the Mac.
    Making an appointment might be neccessary but they will say if or if not.
    Regards
    Stefan
