IPad 4 some parts of screen unresponsive

Ello,
Occasionally some parts of the screen is unresponsive to touch, such as hyperlinks, but if I move the page up or down then touch again it does.  The address bar does something similar, no response when I type in an address, but then works if I click refresh.
Coincidentally, my friend has the same problem with her iPad Air.
any ideas?
thanks

Try reset iPad
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: Data will not be affected.

  • IPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???

    iPad constantly glitching/freezing/crashing/parts of screen unresponsive - time for a factory reset OR a trip to the Apple store???
    My son has nothing but problems with his iPad Mini.  It is less than a year old and it constantly freezes/crashes/glitches and parts of the screen are unresponsive.  This happens while playing games, watching movies, surfing the net etc etc
    The iPad has been in a heavy duty Survivor case from day 1 and has been very well taken care of - so I don't think it's a damage issue
    I have tried numerous resets (just holding the 2 buttons) and have disabled every feature on the iPad that might be causing memory/RAM issues (?)  all to no avail.
    I haven't tried resetting to factory settings as I don't want to lose all the data on the iPad (mostly his game achievements and Minecraft maps that he has worked so hard on!!!)
    SO - any suggestions:
    1) Take it in to the Apple Store - I have never gone to Apple over an issue, is this possibly covered by warranty???
    2) Factory Reset - If I do this can I save all his game achievements/data???
    Cheers,
    Todd

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. You're covered by Apple's 1-year warranty.

  • Parts of screen unresponsive?

    Yesterday, my ipod was working fine. Today, when I went to unlock my ipod, it wouldn't unlock unless I swiped it really quickly. Assuming there was just some dirt on it, I didn't think much about it, until I tried to play a game and part of the screen wouldn't respond. Then, I tried to type something using the keyboard and not all of the letters would respond, either. The part of the screen that wouldn't respond during the game (and I tried a few other games, too) is just a little up and to the right of the center of the screen.
    I tried turning my ipod on and off and resetting it, and neither worked. Is there anything else I can try, or do I have to send it in to Apple?

    I purchased online through Apple Store a refurbished 16GB iPod Touch along with a rubberized protective case (just covers the back side) in early December 09. Within a week I noticed intermittent problems with the right side of the screen not responding. I eventually removed the rubberized protective case and it seemed as if the problem went away, so I assumed it was because the rubberized protective case was too tight. However, very intermittently it still happens, as it has just a about an hour ago, after trying to update a app, the unit was getting very warm, and of course the right side was not responsive, once the update was complete, I shut it down and after about 30 minutes of non use, the right side was once again responding. It seems to me that it is being caused by the processor working hard, and heat build up.
    I have another question that revolves around the FAQ's listed in the previous reply, if I take it in to my local Apple Store, is it correct that they will hand me a replacement on the spot, or will it have to be sent in for repairs??
    --------- FROM FAQ's ---------
    3. Will the data on my iPod be preserved?
    No. You will receive a replacement iPod that will not contain any of your data, songs, or after-market personalizations. Before you submit your iPod for service, it is your responsibility to keep a separate backup copy of the data stored on your iPod and reinstall that data.

  • Part of screen unresponsive?

    I am having an intermitant issue with the rkght hand side of the screen not responding to touch any ideas?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If you've been through ALL these steps and you still have problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple.

    hi
    I broke the side of my iPad and parts of the screen do not respond....is there an easy way to
    fix this ? If I get the screen fixed is it going to respond?

    Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for an assessment and plan to move forward.
    You might expect to pay US$249 plus tax for out-of-warranty service for an iPad 2 if you are in the U.S.

    It says it is not the principal account.

  • IPad 4 touch screen unresponsive

    Touch screen unresponsive, cannot unlock device. Replaced touch screen, now I get nothing from LCD display. Triple checked ribbon connectors. Where should I begin looking for solutions: battery, logic board, LCD display? Tries to connect to iTunes, but without display working, I cannot enter passcode.

    I'm sorry, but if you took your own device apart there's nothing anyone here can do to help you. Your issues are a level of technical support that's beyond what's covered here.
    Maybe an unofficial forum would serve your needs better.

  • Ipad 2 nothing on screen

    iPad 2  - nothing on screen. When connected to laptop it is recognized in iTunes. Have tried resetting with home and power button. Nothing on my screen at all. Please advise.

    Hello there, clwcomp.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with an iOS device not powering on:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Particularly:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working.Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, seethis article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

    Hello, I have an Ipad 2 and the screen has broked. I need to know the price in US to change it.

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ on the iPad, the cost will be relatively minimal; $49 in the US. Otherwise, select the appropriate issue on this page:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/repair/
    and look at the Out Of Warranty Cost section.
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".  You can also look for parts and instructions and do the repair yourself. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPad serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform your own repair, you will get no further support from Apple.
    Regards.

  • Is there any way for Apple to recover my iPad with a cracked screen?

    I recently put my iPad down and discovered it was cracked when I picked it up. After a period of time the crack got worse and now it is across the whole top of the iPad.some of the pieces are falling out, but there is no real damage to the screen. Please help if you know if there is any way Apple could replace the screen, and for how much!!!

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. 
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (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 generation
    $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
