Ipad 3 screen not dimming

Hi all I think my auto brightness on my Ipad 3 is not working, it will brighten up once I go to a lighter room which is great, however if I go back into a dark room the screen will not dim automatically like it does on my 4s? Just wondering if this is normal,using IOS 6. Thanks!

Technically, not its not normal. The screen should dim. In my own experience, I have found auto brightness to be a flaky feature in any iOS that I have ever run on my iDevices. It come and goes. I never notice anything but very subtle differences anyway with auto brightness and rarely pay any attention to the screen brightness at all.
in all fairness, I use my iPad in virtually the same light conditions all of the time - never in the bright sunlight - since you can't see the screen anyway in the bright sunlight - and I don't use it in a dark environments either.

Try doing a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help, take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check out the screen to see if there is a hardware fault.

IPad air screen not displaying correctly

My iPad Air screen has recently started displaying with a pink hue in two of the corners, showing as a medium sized oval in one corner and a small circle in the other. There are also some vertical pink streaks that are less marked. It's really noticeable when the screen is displaying a white background. The only recent changes I have made is downloading the new IOS 8 update. There has been no trauma or damage to the iPad. It is still covered under the 1 year limited warranty. is there any way to fix this in my own?! Thank you!

Hello there katelynlc,
It sounds like you have some graphical anomolies on your screen that have a pink hue. If it is a software issue it will be resolvable by either first resetting the iPad:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Or backing up and restoring your iPad as a new device:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If restoring as new does resolve it, restore your backup and verify it still works.
If not, then the iPad will need service:

All the very best,

IPad mini screen not responding.

Was using my iPad for a short duration and locked the screen. Went back to it about 10-20 min later, and the screen was not responding. Would try to slide the lock screen, press the camera, and nothing would work. I have restarted it multiple times with pressing both lock and home buttons at same time, and nothing as worked. I guess I will have to try to let the battery die but thats gonna take a few days. Any suggestions?

Resolve these most common issues:
    •    Display remains black or blank
    •    Touch screen not responding
    •    Application unexpectedly closes or freezes

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I have a santa rosa MBP and I have a problem with the screensaver and the screen not shutting off. I set the screensaver to turn on in 1 min and the screen to turn off in 5 and it still doesn't work. I unplugged everything and it still doesn't work. Any solutions?
Ps i just downloaded this program

IPad lock screen not responding or won't shut off

HHow can I get to work

Hey Bryan,
For most issues when your iPad is not responding, take a look at the article below to go over some troubleshooting options. Start with holding the Sleep/wake button and home button for about 10 seconds or until you see the Apple logo and test to see if it is responding. After that, if you are still having the same issue where your iPad display is not responding or turning off, then you will want to contact Apple Support to assist you further.

IPad mini screen not working / water damage

I had my iPad mini and a bottle of water i in my bag - water started leaking. When I realised the iPad was still working (it was a bit wet but wiped it off and tested it and it was working), I removed the case and put it in a dry bag. Came back home and tried to use it. The screen lit up for 2 secs and then went dark. The iPad is still working - when I press the home button and the power button I can hear the "taking picture" sound. The screen however remains black.... Any idea what I need to do? Thank you, Eleni

You really should not turn the iPad on until it is totally dry. Turn it off, if it will turn off. Get a bag and fill it with uncooked white rice. Place the iPad in the bag for 48 hours and let the rice draw the water out of the iPad. You need enough rice to cover the iPad. After 48 hours, remove the iPad, if it still seems to have some dampness, get more rice and try it again.
When you think it is finally dry enough to try, power it back up again And see how it goes. A better alternative, IMO, would be to take the iPad to an Apple Store and let them inspect it after you dry it out and before you turn it on again.

Why is the iPad mini screen not very sensitive to touch?

There are times when the screen is not sensitive to touch. This is always observed when in Netflix mode, i.e. When trying to pause the move, re-start to continue or when exiting the movie. Is this a common occurrence? This also occurs at times during the internet mode when the backup arrow key is selected to get back to the previous page. Any answers to this issue will be appreciated. I believe this IPad mini is of the 2nd generation.
Golpedegulat

That's a fair point but my 4S running the last iOS 5 update loads the thousands of apps I have purchased over the past 4 years in a few seconds on a wi-fi connection. Whereas the mini iPad does not and if it starts showing sings of doing it, it simply crashes back to the home screen. The iPad works flawlessly in all other contexts and when viewing previously purchased music and video, it loads that just fine.
While these forums are exactly the place where you see that "very small minority" experiencing this issue, it is quite an aggravating hiccup for a brand new device running a somewhat maligned operating system. It is definitely not a hardware issue at all, which is comforting, but it could very well be the operating system and it could also be an Apple server problem, the latter would be great. The end result is that Apple cannot help me after I detailed the issue and escalated it.

IPad touch screen not calibrated

My iPad's having problems with its touch screen because sometimes when I type with certain keys, it enters the key twice which is very annoying.
I'm actually typing on my iPad now and it's aautocorrect is the only thing that's fixing it right now. It seems like the lower right of my screen is very uncalibrated along with various spots. This also occurs in apps. For example, when I drag my finger across the screen to drag things it goes back to where it was at random intervals. Say I'm dragging an app to the first page, sometimes the app ggoes back to where it was when I'm a about to place it. I've tried resetting and restarting the iPad but it still has this problem. If aautocorrect wasn't on, this message would just aappear aass gibberish due to all of the double letters appearing even though I tap the key once.
This problem appears on every aapp and is on the iPad itself.

Try doing a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help, take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs check out the screen to see if there is a hardware fault.

Screen not dimming, restart, indexing files??

Hello all, I am sorry to intrude, but I am not yet really familiar with Leopard and my new MBP. Last night, I noticed my screen didn't dim after its usual 7 minutes or so, so I manually dimmed it to go to sleep. This morning, I tried to brighten it and the screen went blank, so I (gasp) accidentally forced a hard restart.
Now, it is indexing my external drives again. Is this normal? And should I be worried about the screen dimming thing?

I am not the person who understands this problem. However, I would be a bit concerned that there might be a hardware problem with the video system.
One thing that you could do is to boot off the hardware CD and run all available tests, particularly those related to video. See if any problems show up. If you don't find anything, please post back and perhaps someone else will have some insight or an idea for you.

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.
