Grey fuzzy band across the ipad screen.

Turned on the ipad after long period of inactivity to find a grey fuzzy band across the screen. Anyone know why and how to fix it?
Its an ipad 2 and the band is about 1.5 inches wide and doesn't move up or down the screen.

Yes. That didn't work but after leaving it on charge overnight the band disappeared???

  • Black and gray bars are scrolling across the iPad screen?

    Yesterday my iPad started scrolling black and gray bars

    Try a reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work, take it in for diagnosis.

    Your wifi-only iPad does not have GPS. Read the specs for your device.

  • Blank white band across bottom of screen

    Sometimes when I turn on my new MacBook there is a thick (more than 1" wide) blank, white band across the bottom of the screen, and the rest of the screen display is squeezed (elongated) into the remaining space. If I then put the MacBook to sleep and wake it up, the screen returns to normal.
    Any idea what is going on? And what I should do?
    It occurs to me that my MacBook might be "confused" because I sometimes use it with an external monitor and sometimes I don't..... Coudl that be the explanation?
    thanks!

    I am still having this problem. It especially occurs when I am not connected to my external monitor and running off the battery. Has nobody else had this problem? Does anybody know what the problem is?
    Thanks.

  • How can I control an iPad from a touch screen which is mirroring the iPad screen

    How can I control an iPad from a touch screen which is mirroring the iPad screen.
    This is a very important application for disability students who wish to use iPad apps but do not have sufficient fine motor skills to use the small screen of an iPad but could use a large format display touch screen.
    There must be a way.?????????? Help!!

    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

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro screen has now got interference across the whole screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable interference from bad reception. What is the problem here?

    My 2008 MacBook Pro has interference across the full screen. It looks similar to a pre-cable TV screen with bad reception. Any idea of what the problem might be?

    Took it to the Apple Store, they determined it's my screen that's messed up (they connected to another monitor, and since the lines didn't mirror onto the monitor it couldn't have been my GPU making the lines but rather the screen itself), so not connected to my wifi issue or a potential logic board issue, so I'm going to get my screen, wifi card, and trackpad (it's been failing too but that wasn't urgent at all) replaced for $330 using their flat-rate repair service which is much better than I imagined in terms of price.

  • Is there a way of hiding certain pages from the preview at the bottom of the ipad screen in ibooks author?

    Is there a way of hiding certain pages from the preview at the bottom of the ipad screen in ibooks author?
    I'd like to only show the first page of a section in ibooks author's preview.

    Thanks for your reply, Ken. I did start a separate topic for this but it didn't seem to publish properly.
    I've posted it again here:

    I assume you don't know why this is happening to my TOC?

  • Dark area extending in a band across top of screen

    This may be a variant on this problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1191580&tstart=0.
    I have a irregular dark band across the top of July 2005 20" iMac display. It looks like thick dust - behind the display. I suspect it's some kind of LCD delamination.
    I have a picture of it on a blog post, but Apple doesn't allow personal URLs in posts. I've seen images in forum posts, but I don't know how to do that!
    Anyone know the cause and outlook? I'm betting I will have to live with it until it gets worse -- any repair is likely to be pretty darned expensive (no AppleCare). I'm disappointed to have the display dying after about 2.5 years of life -- I expected more.

    I've gotten a comment on my blog from someone with a similar problem. I suspect it's delamination of the LCD panel probably related to the well known heat issues of the G5 iMac line (Hot hot chip, small space).
    I haven't contacted Apple because I don't have Apple Care on the machine and it's out of warranty. (I get an extra year through my AmEx card, so I had two years of coverage. The extra year from the card is why I don't buy Apple Care.)
    I would call them if the problem were more common, since then there would be a (small) chance of some kind of extended warranty problem, but I haven't really seen that many complaints. It's probably a bit unlucky to get it.
    If it doesn't get worse I'll just ignore it, but if it does worsen I'll probably buy a second display (if the iMac supported extended desktop I'd already have the second display) and making it a children's machine.

  • HT1689 the ipad screen is so large with the icons - and it won't go down to small size

    The ipad screen went so large that each icon filled the frame.  Can't figure out how to get it down to normal size.

    Turn off zoom.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Pages Full Screen option is the iPad screen!

    I haven't heard anyone mention this, but I think Apple did something very smart with the last iteration of Pages as a set up to Pages for iPad.
    For those of us who dream of having a writing station as small and light as the iPad, the real question is: Can this really work as an alternative to a laptop? Well, here are three ways Apple has already groomed us for this transition:
    1. They added a keyboard dock, which of course makes real, lengthy writing sessions possible.
    2. They put a version of Pages on the iPad.
    3. Third, the Pages Full Screen mode on your current computer (if a laptop) looks an awful lot like the iPad screen. When I take my MacBook into Full Screen, the dimensions of the writing screen are almost identical to what I would have on an iPad. In other words, I am already typing on that narrow screen!
    What do you think? [Sure, this isn't really a problem-solving question, but this is a discussion forum, no?]

    The question is whether the iPad screen is built to US Quarto (used by 5% of the planet) or to the International standard A4.
    The proportions seem to suggest that the design is USA only.
