I am getting mult-coloured lines on my ipad mini.

Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does not cure it. Doing a reset turns off the ipad. When I turn the ipad on the lines usually, but not always return. I cannot see any cracks or physical defects with the ipad. It has only just started but appears ot have been a problem in the past with ipads Any suggestions?

Looks like a hardware failure to me. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Colour line on newer iPad mini comes and goes

Hi,
My sister has an iPad mini that has thin colour lines in the screen that come and go, but the lines do not appear in screen shots. Any ideas?

Hello Argmire,
As the lines do not appear in screenshots, they are caused by an issue with the iPad Mini's hardware. The webpage linked below details how to go about setting up service for the device.

MBP strange flickering blocks of multi-coloured lines on screen

Hi
over the past few weeks when awaking from sleep my MBP 13" (mid-2012) has had this problem <a href="http://s1204.photobucket.com/user/sjwhite26/media/IMG_0035.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb404/sjwhite26/IMG_0035.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo IMG_0035.jpg"/></a> i.e. blocks of multi coloured lines flickering on the screen.
You can use the machine, but its incredibly annoying and and reboot gets rid of it. My issue is that it is happening more and more. I also have the issue when the MBP won't always wake from sleep when using the mini display port attached to my screen. This is viewable on the laptop's native screen as well as the dell screen.
Any help would be appreciated. I've tried all the PRAM etc resets.
Thanks

Let the battery full drain. After charging for at least an hour try again. Include thises suggestions as necessary.

Screen flickers with multi coloured lines... then dies

I really hope someone out there can help...
My iphone is only a couple of months old (bought it first day of release in Australia) and now it is starting to break down.
When i press the home key, the screen flickers and has these strange multi coloured lines accross it. Then sometimes it will then restart on the apple logo.
Is there a fix, or do i need to send it back? Will they replace it on the spot?

Page 34 iphone users guide:
"If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPhone will likely solve the
problem.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and
hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Hi believer924,
Happy Holidays! What version of Mac OS are you working with? The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage. On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
OS X:
Phone number missing on OS X
If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Sign out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

I want to get a bluetooth keyboard for an ipad mini. Does it matter if its an ipad bluetooth keyboard. dont need the case

I want to get a bluetooth keyboard for an ipad mini. The case doesnt matter. But the one i'm looking at says IPAD or IPAD2 does it matter or will it work with the mini?

It might, it might not.
I have this keyboard for my mini and like it a lot.

If you don't plan on carrying it, the keyboard that is sold for use with the Mac is a great keyboard because it is full size.

Can't get multi touch gesture on my ipad

I just downloaded the new iOS 4.3 software on my iPad and I got all the new updated features except the multi touch gesture. Is anybody else having problems and what can I do to get it?

Multi-Touch Gestures on the ipad were part of the original IOS 4.3 beta 1. Apple decided to remove Multi_Touch Gestures from the last two beta's and the final built of IOS 4.3. Multi-Touch Gestures may be a part of the operating system in future releases. the only way to enable Multi-Touch Gestures on the ipad is to be a developer using XCode. If you have Xcode and not a developer there is still a way to enable Multi-Touch but the iPad may suffer problems if your developer creditentals are not put in.

Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Can i get verizon service on my att ipad mini

can i get verizon service on my att ipad mini

No, the hardware requirements are different between AT&T and Verizon.

What is the cheapest way to get wifi in a home for Ipad mini - if we already have internet (but no wifi setup)

Trying to get my sister set up with wifi. She is getting an ipad mini for Christmas and has internet, but no wifi. Is there any restriction on the Airport version that this ipad mini will/won't work with?
I have found many 'used' Airport Express units on Amazon, but just need to make sure that these older models will work with this new ipad mini for her.

I don't use Facetime, but if it is available on the Internet, she will be able to access it by entering the Web address for the site in the browser of the iPad.
I just need something inexpensive since we are having to 'add that' for her.
Since you are familiar with Apple products, the Express would make sense.
The setup of the Express will very easy from the iPad. Look for the info in this link about Easy Setup:

You can download a manual for the Express Model A1264 by using the link below:
