Ipad mini burn mark
II've had my ipad mini for just under a year it still has warranty for about 3 weeks. just recently i was on the internet and this logo just appeared burnt on the screen. When I went on the home it still stayed on. I don't know If I should go to the apple shop or not like I said it just recently happened.
I know this is an old thread, but its one of the first that comes up on google when you search for this.
I can tell you quite certainly that this is not rust. I have identical damage to my ipad and am quite certain it is a burn mark. I have worked professionally on various electronics for over 10 years and have seen damage similar to this quite often. The key to identifying it as a burn over a rust stain is the accompanying damage present in the aluminum. There is very minor pitting present in the aluminum which you would not see if this was simply a stain.
Also on the smart cover, the magnet is covered in some sort of plastic. On my damage it is centered on this plastic strip and not near the edge.
I plan on taking my iPad to the Apple store as soon as I return home. This is not discoloration and it is not rust. This is a burn mark from either heat or arcing. It is possible the wifi antenna induces a small amount of current flow in the case and there is some sort of interaction with the magnet which causes it to arc (and ultimately burn) between the case and the magnet of the cover.

My ipad has burn marks which are from the magnetic strip, ive read that it could be rust from the smart cover but there are actual burns on my ipad, my question is will apple replace my ipad with a new one? Or will they just give me a refurb? Hopefully they will give me a new ipad air
Well, you would have to take it to Apple as only they can evaluate the issue and decide if it falls under the warranty or not.
Regardless, no you will not get a new iPad Air. Whatever replacement you may or may not get, it will be an identical device to what you have now. And odds are that yes, it will be a refurbished service unit as you do not usually get a new device in exchange for your used device, under warranty replacement or out of warranty replacement. -
LCD burn on iPad mini 16gb updated from iOS 6.0 to iOS 7.1.1
My 16gb iPad Mini "iOS 6.0.3" updated to 7.1.1 observed LCD discoloration in three corners and I don't know what causes the problem. I just can remember once or twice overly charged for a couple or three (3) hours three weekds ago. All of the sudden the display discolored and corrupted. I have turned it off a couple of minutes twice and resulted the same (burned LCD portion) and looks corrupted screen. As I turned it off a couple of hours, the screen looks OK by then and it operates well but the map looks like burn in the screens is well defined.Does this screens follows to LCD burn? It can be replaced?By how much?Thank you
try doing a full system restore
Hold down the home button and power button at the same time. This forces the screen to fade and the Apple Logo to reappear. Don't let go of the buttons until the iPad shuts off.
Once the iPad is off plug the usb cable into the computer.
Open iTunes
While holding down the Home button plug the cable into the iPad.
Contunue holding the home button until the you the itunes logo and the picture of the cable on the iPad screen. This may take up to 30seconds.
iTunes should now detect the iPad and you can perform a restore. Just follow the on screen instructions and it should restore.
Hopefully you have a recent back up.
If you have apple care on it, just take it down to another store and they will give you a brand new one -
Why do the e-mails in my BT Yahoo inbox marked as read when the e-mail is delivered to my iPad mini?
Why do the e-mails in my BT Yahoo Mail inbox mark as "read" when the e-mail is delivered to my new iPad mini..?
Hi rowinator,
I assume, you've activated the thunderbirtd junk-filter? Or do you use your own filters?
May be there's another filter, executed afterwards, that marks the mail as junk? You can have a look into the filterlog.html in your TB folder, there you can see if one of your own filters caught this mails.

I purchased an Ipad mini in Thailand in first week of July. Now the screen of the ipad has lost its brightness and smells like somethings burning inside when switched on. I am in Dubai now and want to know if I can have it exchanged here in Dubai?

My ipad mini marks emails as read and groups emails together
Hi -
Happy New Year to you all!
I have just bought an Ipad Mini 2 which I love, however I have an issue which hopefully can be solved.
On my iPhone, I can open my emails, email by email and actually have to click on an email for it to be displayed and marked as read.
On my ipad, it previews the emails to the right of the screen and marks the email as read...
Can this be altered as I risk not seeing an email with it not being unread.
Also, when I click on an email, it groups all emails together with the same subject, i.e. subject title 'Hi' will group all 'Hi's' together.
Is there a way of switching this off also?
Thank you for all of your help.

Turn off "Organise by Thread" (on the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" page of the Settings app,) to prevent this.

Marks left on iPad mini by case
Hi All,
I have been using a case for my iPad mini which has lots of little padded squares on the back (which touches the metal back of the iPad mini when in use). As a result, on the back of my iPad there are lots of lighter squares on the metal where the case has been, these aren't too serious and can only be seen when looked at directly in the light. I have tried to clean this multiple times with screen cleaning spray and microfibre cloth however this hasn't removed the marks, do you have any suggestions?
ThanksThe marks are likely permanent. I would contact the case manufacturer and file an official complaint.

I'm seeing burn mark on my iPad 2 and smart cover (magnetic strip). Both the markings' location matched exactly when the smart cover is attached to the iPad.

My iPad mini makes chargers burn to the touch.
I have an iPad mini and my charger overheated and died. I have borrowed other people's chargers in the mean time but they get very very hot to the touch when I plug it into my iPad. What shall I do?
My iPad 3 charger will get quite warm at times when I am charging my iPad, but not like you are describing. I would recommend taking the iPad to an Apple Store for evaluation.
Your iPad charger should never get "very, very" hot. That is not normal. -
Does your ipad mini keyboard block your view in notes?
Notes in iPad mini the keyboard gets in the way so I can't see what I'm typing. Anyone else have this problem?
Thanks Walnutree, this fixed an annoyance I had for months and I had no clue what to do about it.
Fact of the matter remains, I say to iOS developers hoping they read this post, that this is a dorky and unnecessary bug. I think the bug is: 'locked dock keyboard setting is default at iOS8 upgrade' so now you guys don't dare to auto-fix this anymore because you can't tell which people set this deiberately and which people got an unwanted default setting. But you can change the keyboard icon because there is no sign anywhere that my keyboard is in lock mode. Details matter, people.
This leaves the other burning question mark: why on earth would anyone not want to see if the typing went ok? -

How can I print wirelessly from my ipad mini to a non-AirPrint network printer?
Does anyone know of a work around to print wirelessly from ipad mini or any apple wireless devices to a network printer that is NOT Airprint ready? I have a trial of Printopia installed on my desktop connected to the network and it seems to work BUT the desktop has to be awake or on for this to work. My wireless router is a new ASUS N66U with supported usb port for printers which my printer is connected to. My PC laptop is able to see the printer but the ipad mini and iphone 5 cannot. I could return the router and exchange for Apple Airport wireless router if I know it would make a difference. Thanks.
Hi,
According to the printer specs, your printer has no wireless connectivity and is not airrprint enabled so unfortunately you won't be able to print from your ipad.
you'll find the list of HP web enabled printers here.

ipad mini cant update any apps or install new ones since updated to ios8.02 and now today updated to ios8.1 still cant update apps the circle just keeps spinning round, i have done a hard reset etc no joy, anybody else got same problem.
VPN-User,
Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.
Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those. This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
Thanks for your patience

Hi,
Apologies for the long post. For my three questions, please skip to the bold copy below. The first couple paragraphs are preamble.
Yesterday I unwittingly--and dimwittedly--disabled my 2012 iPad Mini by entering my password too many times. (Or rather my coat pocket and Bluetooth keyboard did it as I walked all over town, unaware of what they were up to. The activated keyboard in one pocket continually woke the sleeping iPad in my other pocket, the iPad kept demanding a password, and in the jostling I must have entered password after password. Finally it disabled because I'd set it to do so. I didn't know it was permanent though. I thought it would ask me to try again in a few hours. My oversight.)
I'm desperate to get my Pages documents off the iPad, which I've never backed up on iCloud or synced with iTunes. (My Macbook went belly up in July and I couldn't afford both a new computer and the more portable iPad--so I just bought the iPad and the Pages app.) Until December I was emailing myself the Pages manuscripts I was working on, but a few weeks ago I got lazy about this, and now I've lost a month's worth of work. I couldn't be madder at myself.
The Genius Bar gave me only the Erase/Restore option, which I can't bring myself to do. So I tried a couple third-party apps (Dr. Fone and Phone Unlocker) on my office iMac. But both require me to tell the iPad to "Trust this Mac" when the iPad shows the prompt--which the iPad doesn't do because it's completely disabled. The only words that ever appear onscreen are "iPad is disabled" and "Connect to iTunes."
So I'm scouring my brain for solutions:
1) Is there any hope of re-enabling the iPad while preserving the data, maybe by starting a restore process in iTunes and aborting before data is erased? Then maybe the password field will show up again and I can type in the correct one?
2) Or, even better, is there a way to connect the iPad to a network via the Lightning connector or even by taking it apart and hooking it up to something or other? (WiFi was on when I last used the iPad, though I don't have a cellular plan.) I ask because if I can get it online, then it will get the Lost iPad message I sent via Find My iPhone (in iCloud), and presumably the password field will show up on the iPad (along with my phone number), allowing me to enter the password once I've marked it as Found. But the iPad will only receive my message to it if it's connected to a network--which it can't do while disabled.
3) Is there any chance that in the next few months or years someone will figure out a solution (maybe a better recovery software) that will let me access my documents again? I just can't delete them, even if it means putting it in a drawer and saving up for a new iPad.
Many, many thanks for any suggestions, no matter how outlandish. I'm desperate!Hi Brian
I had the same exact thing happen to me - except it was my wireless keyboard that disabled my ipad. I also have documents on Pages that I did not want t to lose. This worked for me! Found it on another help site....I was able reactivate my ipad - nothing lost - all is good!
1. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
2. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
3. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
4. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
5. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
6. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
7. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm. -
IPad mini retina volume - what should I say to genuis?
About ten days back I received a gift of an iPad Mini Retina (32g) from a person I’ve been helping over this past few years. Completely unnecessary; completely taken by surprise; and completely delighted.
With the exception of an old iPod it is my only other Apple product, I need some advice and views from you hardened Apple guys.
Early next week I’m seeing one of Apple’s geniuses for several reasons. The main reason is the issue of volume. Like I’ve read on here and on other forums it seems really quite poor.
I’ve been watching Will Smith in ‘Seven Pounds’ and well it’s just about listenable. If I were to be watching it where there was background noise then I’d probably give up. Yes it is better with ear phones and I haven’t yet got around to streaming it to my TV. I haven’t watched any action films yet but I’m guessing that if there is a gun fight, if buildings are getting burned and blown up there will be no oomph to the sound and sound really is an important part of these films.
Other than Netflix and Bookshelf I’ve put no other apps on the machine and I haven’t transferred any of my music onto it, so with the exception of YouTube, which does seem a little better, I can’t judge what the sound is like there.
Anyway you Apple guys is this a hardware fault, is it a software fault, or to be honest is it just that you can’t expect much volume, much oomph, from a machine of this size?
I’m not tech minded, and as mentioned above I’ve only got this and an old iPod so I’ve no other Apple products to judge it against.
What should I be saying to the guy on the genius counter? What questions should I be asking and what should I expect from him?
I’ve read that these guys can do quite a lot without having to seek authority from above. If this were just a fault on the 32g machine then, if I could negotiate it, I’d quite happily upgrade to the 64g machine.
If it makes any difference I live in the UK
Thanks for any advice you can offer, I’m sure I’ll be back!Just thinking about my problem today and was thinking that before I go near the genius desk that I have one of their sales team demonstrate a machine to me, I'd assume that the demo models would be pretty fine tuned.
Really is a pity about the sound
