IPad (4th gen) screen scrambled (static) with smart cover.

Hello-
The screen on my iPad becomes scrambled when connecting/disconnecting smart cover.  (image attached) I am afraid that something has been damaged by the magnets.  Is there a solution to fix this?  I could not find much help doing various searches.
Thank you

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 the on-screen 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.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • What is wrong with my iPad (4th Gen) screen?

    Hi all,
    My iPad 4th gen screen has stopped working.
    It just shows a white fuzzy screen with a thick grey bar across the screen. I have done some percussive therapy (hitting the back) and the thick bar changed colour but other than that nothing happens. I have tried a restore as well but still no luck!
    I have trawled through google and some of the ofrums here but i cant find anything about this. Does anyone have any ideas? It has just ran out of warranty as well.
    Zack

    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/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Hello - can anyone tell me why my iPad (4th Gen) screen will no longer rotate. I don't have a screen lock symbol next to the battery icon. I have the rotate icon on my desktop but still can't get the screen to rotate.

    Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right. Check the Rotation Lock on the far left of Task Bar.

  • My IPad 4th Gen speaker has turned to static.  I did a reset, checked the sound and accessibility settings.  Any other ideas?

    My IPad 4th gen now has static on sound.  I've done reset and checked sound controls and accessibility.  Help?

    A hard reset has been known to remedy this problem.
    You might want to detail when the static happens. All the time? Only when you insert the mini jack? With specific software or volume?

  • Raised home button on ipad 4th gen

    has anyone else noticed that the home button on the ipad 4th gen is not flush with the screen.  if i run my fingernail across the screen it will catch the home button. is this the same with all 4th gen models.  i didn't notice this on my Ipad 2?

  • Is anyone having any uneven or discoloured screen issues with iPad mini or iPad 4th Gen?

    Hello, in view of the fact that many users had screen discolouration issues and uneven backlight issues with the iPad 3rd Gen, I wonder if those issues have been sorted out. Has anyone here had any screen issues with the iPad mini, or the iPad 4th Gen?

    No.

  • My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

    I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

    Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

  • Attention to the apple developer, u need to check the issue about the iMovie which installed in an iPad 4th gen. Is having a problem during closing the app from the theater page to the home screen. It doesn't closes exactly severally...

    Attention to the Apple developer, the iMovie which installed to the iPad 4th gen. has a problem when it's opened at the theater page it frequently couldn't be closed down to the home screen. The app page is actually blinking and cannot tap onto anything..

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • How to use iPad (4th gen) to edit with iMovie - but using an external source such as a USB stick or external USB hard drive

    Want to use my iPad (4th gen) to edit a movie using iMovie - easy enough if the movie file is on the iPad - but what if it's too large - can I keep the source file on a USB stick or external USB hard drive and edit from there?  How can you do this?

    You can't export any type of file using the camera connection kit, so a USB flash drive or SD card won't work.
    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
    Another option:

  • Accessory not supported by ipad - ipad2 HDMI connector will not work with ipad (4th gen)

    I am a bit frustrated with the fact that I purchased all of the adapters/connectors for my iPad 2 back in the day -  and now all are pretty much worthless with the iPad (4th gen.)
    The iPad g4 uses the new lightning connector. OK. So, I bought the updated adapter (lightning to 30 pin). HOWEVER, it does not allow the Apple HDMI connector to work... "This accessory is not supported by iPad"
    I have to buy yet ANOTHER adapter: the Lightning Digital AV Adapter, and drop $49.00???
    RIDICULOUS!
