my screen is black

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 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.

I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

I had the same problem with my first gen ipad mini. The solution was not to do a hard reset, but instead to push the sleep/off button until the red slider appeared, then slide to OFF. Wait a few seconds then push the sleep/home button until the Apple logo appeared. The lines were gone. I called Apple Support and they wanted $19 to troubleshoot over the phone and $99-$199 to bring to the nearest Apple store. This may not be a permanent fix, but it resolved the issue. I purchased my ipad mini from a local electronics store in May of this year. Believing it to be new and still under warranty I called the AppleCare store and discovered that it had "previously" been purchased in November a year ago and was no longer in warranty. As stated, I've had the device since May and it has worked wonderfully until today when I turned it on and it had colored vertical lines displayed on the screen. The lines would change color at times and even became a solid black stripe. The strange thing was that when taking a screen shot the lines were not noticeable and didn't show up on the picture. The Customer Care support tech told me to search other display issues. On one of the support threads it had something to do with videos/video apps and that is where I saw to do the SLIDER OFF. It worked even when the hard RESET had not.

thanks!

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

Try to reset it. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. If that doesn't help then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look it over.

HT201412 My ipad screen remains black and show a persistent apple logo.

My ipad screen remains black and show a persistent apple logo. Sometimes it turn on and off automatically every 5minutes. I have already restored iOS software for 3 or 4 times. I have also seen with the apple genius supporter. The problem still remain the same. Does anybody have any suggestion beyond that? I dont know how many people are experiencing the same problems. Why dont apple solve this issue seriously? My rating to apple would become dramatically decreased to zero. I have decided not to buy apple product anymore.

We are not Apple here .. you should bring your concerns to their attention.

Hello everyone !!! i'm new here. Just wanted to know about mini ipad

The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.

(The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad

Ipad screen is black

Ipad screen is black it makes a sound when you plug it to computer and start up itunes, itunes gives message to put in passcode on ipad to unock but cannot see passcode screen same when trying to use recovery mode on apple web site.

Thats a tricky one, but as I can imagine you're annoyed and want this sorted out. So, if u go into settings and refresh everything like your photos reminders time and date and stuff like that and then press restart it should refresh everything and go back to normal. However, if it continues to do that grand see someone at an apple store for assistanc.
I hope this helped

Try Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

I suggest that you take the MBP into an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation. There are liquid sensors inside and they should check if any have been activated. This may give you a clue as to what you may expect regarding future reliability.
Ciao.

In addition check your Energy Saver Preferences and make sure that your Display Sleep and Computer Sleep timers are properly set to get the expected results.
For example: I want my Display to sleep after 5 min and my Computer to Never Sleep so that I can choose when to sleep it from the Apple dropdown menu.
