IPad Air 2 Black Screen - Doesn't Wake?

I've had my iPad Air 2 for about a week. On top of the WiFi issues, Safari issues, screen sensitivity issues, the biggest problem I seem to have is that every once in a while, the iPad will seem to just shut off (or lock up....not sure which). But its not a normal shut off.
I won't have touched it or done anything with it. It will be on, but when I click the home button....nothing. It doesn't wake. I hit the power button...nothing. It just won't wake up. The only thing that works is to hit both the home and power buttons at the same time, which then throws me to the Apple boot logo. After that all is fine again. Until of course it happens again, a day later or so.
I don't know how to reproduce this issue as it just happens randomly without my doing anything to the iPad. In all instances the battery is well above 80%. It has happened while plugged in and charging and also when it is not charging.
I'm thinking I got a lemon...

Hi,
Do you find a solution now?
My advice is to reset your devices. Usually, reset devices can solve some common issues.
First of all, try to restart it:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo
If that doesn't work, you can try to reset it.
If your iPad cannot turn on now, please reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If your iPad can turn on now, to solve some troubles on your devices, you can reset iPad by going to Settings>General>Reset>"Reset All Settings" or "Erase All Content and Settings".
You can choose to "Reset All Settings" first, because it just erase all settings on iPad.
Choose "Erase All Content and Settings" is your last resort. It will restore your iPad to factory settings which means that all your data ans settings on iPad will be erased. Therefore, if you need to do this, please backup your iPad with iTunes or iCloud first.
Hope these can help you.

Reporting: Adobe Air - Black Screen Bug Spotted

Basically, my latest android app got rejected during a certification process due to a black screen popping up after triggering the alarm.
This is my error report that I received from the store:
Black screen appears after alarm
<Procedure>
1. Launch application
2. 'Start' > Play game > Alarm show up > End alarm > Check
<Expected Result>
Black screen should not appear
So all you have to do is create a new android project in air with nothing but a white background, set the orientation to horizontal, check the full screen option, export and install the app, run the app, minimize the app and open the clock app and set an alarm, go back to the app, wait for the alarm, then cancel the alarm once it pops up, and what you get is a black screen.
Interestinly enough, the background music plays in the background, admob ads work as well, only the screen goes black, but once we minimize the app and then go back to it again, everything's fine. Moreover, when the app is in a vertical mode, the black screen doesn't appear.
Additional info: Apps developed in Flash Professional with the use of Air 4.0. Tested on android 4.3 & 4.4.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to upload android air apps until the problem gets fixed .

It may well only be GPU mode that shows the problem, though I could imagine Stage3D in Direct mode would do the same. The general case is that when the AIR app goes into the background and then comes back, the GPU textures may have been wiped out by the system. If you do really go to the background, as would be the case when an alarm dialog appears, you'll get the deactivate event that you can use to know that it has happened, and you can set the stage quality on the activate event.
In the case of the ads it may not count as being a full deactivate, but there is bound to be an event from the ad ANE. Look in its documentation for what evens happen when the ad is closed, and apply the stage quality work around to that event.
There is a chance that you won't have got the deactivate event, to set the quality to something different, and then when the activate event tries to change the quality nothing happens. At least I'm thinking that may be the case. You could work around that by testing if the quality is the one you want, then go away from that and back again to force a reload. For example, if you want the quality to be "medium" while the app is running, you could do this in the activate event, to make sure that it went away from medium:
if(stage.quality == "medium") stage.quality = "low";
stage.quality = "medium";

When I plug my iPad Air in, it doesn't pick up the charger being plugged in.

When I plug my ipad air in, it doesn't pick up the charger until I move the plug around a few times, and when I let it go, it doesn't pick it up anymore.
ive tried using a different brand charger, and I'm now back to using the one that came with an iPod that I got a few months before the iPad.
the charge cord works perfectly fine on the iPod but doesn't work on the iPad.
this has been happening for a few weeks and it's getting really frustrating.
please help.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

My mac book air was fine yesterday but today it has a black screen and wont wake up

IPad Air Touch Screen Not Working

I have a new iPad Air 128Gb model. I was using it and the screen stopped responding. I used the sleep/wake button and home button trick and it restarted, but still not responding. The areas you are trying to touch have a box placed around them, but will not let you touch them. For instance, when I try to put my passcode in I push the number 1 and the number has a box around it, but it does not let me activate the number 1 to unlock the iPad. I made an appointment at Genius Bar, but I am looking for other solutions or has anyone had something similar happen?

You have turned on VoiceOver. You turn it off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn it off there.
To navigate in this mode, you select items by tapping once, then double-tap to activate the item, and need to scroll using THREE fingers.
Please do not go to the trouble of restoring.
And read the manual...

20" imac gets random black screen and wont wake up.

O.K. this imac randomly goes to a black screen while your using it. It looks like it's asleep accept the light in the front doesn't pulse and it wont wake up.
If I hit the power button to put it to sleep I can then wake it up.
I tried resetting the SMU but have had no luck (not sure if it's even resetting seeing the date and time are still good) not sure why seeing resetting the SMU is a very simple processes.
It's a 20" intel imac 2GHz duo with system 10.4.11 (early 2006)
I was going to reinstall 10.4.11 to see if that helps and wanted to see if anyone else knows what to do. Its very random and seems to be getting worse, sometimes as soon as I get it fixed it goes black again. It usually only takes 15-30min after start up and doesn't matter if your using it or not.

Hi all,
my first mac ever was also an Early 2006 20" iMac and it had the same symptons as yours late last year.
Tried all I could think of and then took it to an Apple Dealer here in Hamburg.
Turned it was the Power Supply Unit (both of them) and a repair (out of Applecare obviously) would have been in the range of about 500 Euros (material plus manhours).
So I decided to not get it repaired.
Regards

2013 MacBook Air black screen of death

My wife's MacBook Air (late 2013) suffered the Black Screen of Death. Looked at the Mac forums for advice, looked at some YouTube videos about changing the battery, was on the verge of ordering a new battery from Amazon. My wife took it to the local Best Buy, and they said they'd be glad to fix it for just $200. Called the nearest Apple Store, got a recording that said I could buy time just to talk to tech support. Finally called Computer World in Appleton, Wis., and talked to Jack. He said it sounded like the latest OSX install wasn't complete. Told me to restart with shift key down, hit right arrow and then the return key, type in the password (even though the screen was still black), hit return again and BINGO! The screen came back on, showed OSX had 2 minutes left to install! All's right with the Mac again thanks to Jack the Mac Guy!

"they said they'd be glad to fix it for just $200.": That's a lot for a simple OS reset...

IPad Air auto brightness doesn't dim

Hi guys I recently purchased an iPad Air, and I've noticed an auto brightness issue. Whenever I unlock the iPad in a bright room and move to a dark room, it doesn't dim (I've had it dim TWICE following that scenario, but after a long wait--30 minutes or more). Now when I unlock the iPad in a dark room and move to a bright room and then move again to a dark room, the iPad brightens and dims as it should. I've updated my iPad to 7.1 with the same behavior. Restored shortly after and same behavior. Erased all settings, reboot, etc. EVERYTHING. I'm aware of having to lock/unlock the iPad to "readjust" to dim lighting, but is that the case for all iPads? Is this normal behavior for an iPad?
My iPhone 5 on 7.0.6 does it all automatically (without having to lock/unlock) for as long as I can remember. The iPhone 5 brightens and dims according to the light. Bright room to dark, it dims. Dark room to bright room, it brightens. It works perfectly.
I would just like to know if all iPads are supposed to act this way, and if so then why when going from bright to dark it doesn't dim, but when I go from dark to bright to dark then it dims correctly?

Have the same issue. Have you solved it?
