IPad gen 1 screen contrast

The screen in my iPad gen1 is losing contrast and appears overly bright. The display "shudders" and will randomly switch from normal to this state. Brightness seems to be draining battery unusually fast, as might be expected.
Screen brightness and auto brightness do not solve problem - lowest brightness setting is uncomfortable to look at for more than a few minutes. A "hold power and home buttons until Apple logo appears" reset does not help.
Ideas? This is 64GB wifi only model that is less than 3 years old. Slow, but still very functional.

Have you thought about trying to restore the software? Reset all settings?
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. No data will be lost but all settings will have to be entered again.

Unfortunately, less than three years old can still be rather old hardware in today's rapidly changing tech world. You do have to consider the possiblity that the screen is just starting to go on you now. I am not saying that is the problem for sure, but I am saying that it's possible and you have to consider it.

  • 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.

  • Tried to open an app and my iPad gen one froze. It only shows the apple on black screen and will show the operating wheel sometimes and while plugged in it will beep every few minutes. Will not load one show anything on screen but the small white apple.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 2nd gen iPod Touch - screen - contrast ratio issue?

    hello
    i was wondering if anyone else have this problem / issue
    what i notice in the 2nd gen ipod touch compare to the the 1st gen touch
    is the the differences in contrast of the screen
    1st gen ipod touch appears to be darker
    and 2nd gen ipod touch lighter or "washed out"
    the black in the 2nd gen doesnt appears to be black black, if anyone knows what im talking about
    and when comparing to the magenta or blue 2nd gen also appears lighter
    mind you i have set both brightness setting to FULL bright and NO Auto-brightness
    i can understand that there is off course difference in LCD but the difference is quite noticeable
    if anyone else have this issues please voice your concern I hope im not the only one out there.
    i would ideally prefer the screen contrast to be in between the washed out of my 2nd gen ipod touch and the 1st gen ipod touch
    and is there a way to fix it?
    cheers

    Well, I think it is fixed or I have gone the longest amount of time with the screen not going dim, no thanks to Apple.
    I went as far as trying to jailbreak my ipod and "downgrading" to iOS3. I got it jailbrokenm but could not downgrade to anything, so I went back to iOS4.2.1.  It actually worked worse while jailbroken, the screen never lit up.  The "fix" came about when I created a whole new library for the ipod, loaded a fresh download of iOS4.2.1 and took all of the extra apps off and so far the screen has been staying lit all the time.  the only thing i can think off was that there was something wrong with library file.  Now if Apple could come up with an easy was for me to have my ipod open the new library when connected istead of me having to do the Shift+click method, becasue I am not sure if it is safe to delete the original library file.
    Anyone having the same problem try creating a new iTunes library and copying your music files over, hopefully it helps you too.

  • IPod touch 4th gen no screen

    So this guy is trying to sell me a 4th gen itouch without a screen for cheap. How much would it cost to get a brand new screen if everythin else works, and i went to my local apple store?

    I doubt Apple will do anything since App exchanges  iPod for a refurbished one but says:
    If Apple determines that an iPod is not repairable, for example, if it has failed due catastrophic damage or the iPod has been disassembled into multiple pieces, then Out-of-Warranty Service is not available and the iPod will be returned. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • Peer-to-Peer Airplay not working with iPad (Gen. 3)

    I'm in the process of testing "wireless projection" solutions. Since I have access to an iPad (gen. 3), iPad Retina, iPad Air and iPhone 5c all running iOS 8.0, with a pair of Apple TV's, Model 1469, one ATV a wired connection and one ATV no network connection at all.  Both devices were updated using Configurator to get the activation setup. 
    Once activate, they were then set up in their respective locations, and the settings were verified (i.e. airplay is on, networks are connected/disconnected as required) and tested using each of the iOS devices listed above.
    All 4 iOS devices could see the networked Apple TV as expected.  But the Gen 3 iPad was the only device that didn't pick up the Peer-to-peer Apple TV when testing the standalone unit.  I tried to reset the iPad, turned off and on the radios, but the device will not pick up the PTP ATV.
    Has anyone else had any luck getting a Gen 3 iPad to work with the Peer-to-Peer with out a network?
    According to the following KB, Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you should be able to use a 3rd gen iPad to peer to peer airplay.

    iPad 3rd generation doesn't support Peer-to-Peer Airplay. Apple quietly said it was for iOS devices introduced in LATE 2012. Like for Handoff; certain devices with the latest Wi-Fi specifications can get this feature. The iPad 3 was introduced in EARLY 2012. I tried, but it didn't work. Here is what I found in the Apple TV Section.
    AirPlay requires an Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with an iOS device running iOS 4.3 or later or a Mac with iTunes 10.2 or later. Some features require the latest software.
    Peer-to-peer AirPlay requires a Mac (2012 or later) with OS X Yosemite or an iOS device (late 2012 or later) with iOS 8; and an Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later.
    AirPlay Mirroring is available with iPhone 4s or later; iPad 2 or later; iPad mini; iPod touch (5th generation); and iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer), and Mac Pro (Late 2013) with OS X Mountain Lion or later.
    Dual-screen capability is available with iPhone 4s or later, iPad 2 or later, iPad mini, and iPod touch (5th generation).

  • HT1414 when trying to restore my ipad gen 1 it hangs on "Verifying ipad restore with Apple" then returns an error 1602

    I have tried to restore my ipad gen 1. When it gets to the Verigying ipad restore with Apple" it seems to hang then returns the error 1602. I have the black screen on my ipad so cannot get to the shut down bar. The ipad has not been tampered with or jail broken. it suddenly would only show the apple symbol for 5 or so seconds then go to a blank screen and then 30 or so seconds later show the apple symbol again. This only happens when plugged into its factory charger.

    Have you tried the troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1603 ?

  • IPad gen 1 compatibility with Airplay?

    I purchased Apple TV but don't get mirroring on my iPad gen 1.   I asked specifically at the store owhether gen 1 was compatible with airplay and told all would be fine.  I since saw a comment here that says iPad 2 and later is required.  Is that true?  What are my options?  I want to stream photos and music.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes, you need the iPad 2 or better for AirPlay mirroring, but you can still use the basic AirPlay feature:
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.

    Apple really does not repair your iPod except for battery replacments.They exchange your iPod for a refurbished on of the same model. For a 4G, the price is $99, $149, or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • Ipad mini retina screen colours washed out?. Apple has already fixed the issue?

    Hi everyone
    First of all, sorry if i dont write in the best way, i am from Spain and my elglish is medium-basic.
    I am looking to buy an Ipad mini with retina display.
    I readed many reviews from december 2013 that say thar ipad mini 2 screen only covers 63% of adobe srgb colour gamut. Nexus 7 covers 100%
    All this issues where noticed on the end of 2013. I want to know if this is fixed or the problem continues now
    Those of you who have an ipad mini and ipad air too, Can you compare and say me if you notice any colour issue. your ipad mini have to be bought on 2014 becouse its known that ipad mini retina 2013 have the issue.
    Thank! regards

    in terms of colours, i cannot see much difference except saturation being a bit lower on the iPad mini.
    I will agree with this. I have an iPad 3, an iPad 4, an iPad mini (1st gen) and an iPad mini Retina. Direct comparison between the devices reveals lack of color saturation on the mini Retina but it's not as bad as some may make it out to be. I'll also agree about it's looking more natural compared to the others, especialy compared to the iPad 3 & iPad 4 which can almost seem a bit on the garish side as far as saturation goes. It's almost (but not quite) like buying a new LCD TV and using it's default picture setting which is almost always "Dynamic"...and what the stores set it to to get them to "pop" on the display wall. It's nowhere near being a natural image. As was mentioned, yes the saturation is a bit diminished on the mini Retina but I wouldn't consider it much of an issue...
    That being said, I don't know if it has been "corrected" since I don't consider it much of an issue to begin with.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    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.)

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
    No data is lost due to a reset.
