IPad Mini Display + Power Button Malfunctioning

HI I just got an iPad Mini (1st generation) two days ago and it was workig fine until today when I was clearing some app data in my settings, then the screen went out. I tried holding the power button to get it back, but it wouldn't work. However, I held in the home button on the bottom, and Siri still worked but I searched for something on the voice command and I couldn't bring up what it found because the display is still out. Can someone please send me options on possible ways to get the display back? Thank you

I have noticed this same exact thing with my iPad mini with Retina display. I notice it on YouTube, but it does it for only some videos consistently. there is this game called "Don't Starve" that I watch lots of let's plays for on YouTube, and the game has an over all sepia tone to it. Whenever I first start the video, some of the colors look off, but it fades sort of to where it should be. I pinch the video closed and everything looks off *outside* of the video, like there is no contrast, but it then kind of fades back to normal. Sort of weird, not exactly sure whether it is a display problem, or if it is a kind of auto adjustment feature... I notice it NOWHERE but videos. It doesn't really bug me, and I don't mind the screen fading back to where it should be after a video, (because at least the colors do go back to normal, rather than staying washed out!) but at the same time, it does concern me because I am unsure whether this is a software feature to enhance colors in video, or if it is a display problem. I have heard the retina mini does have image retention problems (for some devices only), which means that if a particular image is left on the screen for a long time, and then it suddenly changes, you can see an after effect of the previous image for a bit, which is a screen defect. Also, the iPad mini with retina display does have a lesser color gamut than other apple devices, seen easiest when comparing it with the iPad Air, it even can be seen when comparing to an iPad 3rd generation, or iPad 4th generation. I have observed this between my iPad mini with retina and the iPod touch 5th gen, iPhone 5, and this would also be seen between the iPad mini with retina and iPhone 5S, because the iPhone 5S uses the same screen as the iPhone 5.

My iPad mini displays i0S 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do I get it to show the menu?

My iPad mini displays iOS 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do you get it to access the main menu?

Reboot your iPad and see if that lets it start up properly.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If this doesn't work, you may have to restore your iPad using iTunes on your computer.

Ipod Mini Touch Power Button Broke! :(

Hi, My Ipod touch mini's power button is broken and i am wondering if apple fixes the ipod for free or for money and if you need the warranty still on it to be able to fix it?

Not really. If it's stuck as in you've pressed it and it won't come out, go to your nearest Apple store and they should be able to fix it.
Or:
If you press the button and it doesn't have any effect on the iPod Touch, deffiantly go to Apple as the button may be broken.

Powerbook Alternate way to turn on and off, Power button malfunctions.

Does anybody know an alternate way to turn a Powerbook G4 17" on and off?
The power buttons malfunctions, it activates by it self, turns off when I am using it, and tries to turn on by it self when is closed! I need to find a shortcut using the keyboard so I can just disconnect the power button. Your help will be highly appreciated!

Shutting down from Apple menu will shut the computer down.
But the power button is a must for turning on the machine. You might find an old original iMac keyboard which has a built-in on/off switch that can actually turn on the computer as well. If you did, that could probably work if you disconnected the on/off switch of the Powerbook.

My Apple display power button is flashing short-short-long.

My Apple display power button is flashing short-short-long. I know what it means and I checked everything and everything seems fine. What can I do to ensure everything is really fine and the flashing stops. The computer and the display worked fine for over a year. It started doing it when I switched my computer off using the power button on the display. it never happened before.
thanks!

What you might try is unplugging the monitor at it s ADC connexion to the video card and the plugging it back in - all with the Mac turned on and everything working (and flashing).
I had an LCD/ADC flatscreen monitor that would dim the top half of the screen and start flashing whenever I would run Disk Warrior or Applejack or switch to a different startup drive. Simply unplugging and replugging would return it to normalcy - for days or weeks - but sooner or later.... Grew tired of waiting for it to go altogether and bought another monitor, but I tried it the other day on a spare Mac and - sure enough - it started up dim and flashing. Remedy was the same: unplug and replug the ADC connexion and it was back to normal. No idea why!
No guarantee, and no idea how long it might last, but the effort is small and the price is right.

Cinema display power button

I have a 20" cinema display attached to a macbook pro. I usually just hit the power button on the side to turn it off, but all of a sudden when I try to turn off the monitor, it asks me if I want to shut down the computer. Not sure what changed or how to turn off the monitor now. Any ideas?

Figured it out.
System Preferences > Displays > Display Power Button > Turns power on and off. Couldn't find it before.

IPad Mini display shaking

The last couple of days the content of the display on my iPad Mini goes crazy after a period of use. On any screen things just move about wildly. Switching off cures it, but it starts again after a few minutes of use.
This is not the shaking one uses to delete apps, it is really weird. The display zooms, it pans, and if I shift from the app where it happens the same thing happens on any other app, as well as the home screen.
Does this make any sense? I'll try and video it next time it happens. I'm up to date on updates.

The standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory
If these don't work you may have a hardware problem. If so, Apple Support: Contact Us

Ipad mini loose volume buttons

I had my ipad mini with retina display for 2 weeks now and my volume buttons are loose. I'm very happy with my ipad but the fact that my volume buttons are loose just bothers and I would hate to go back to apple to complain about such a small issue. Is there a possibility for the loose volume button to break in the future?

It might. You need to make an appointment at your local apple store, take it in and have them look at it. Before you go in, be sure to back everything up because apple stores don't repair in store, they swap your malfunctioning device for a replacement.

IPad Mini decrease volume button suddenly stuck down... Overuse?

A few nights ago, as I was watching YouTube, my decrease volume button on my 1st Gen iPad Mini got jammed down suddenly... It literally was working perfectly moments before. If you press down hard you can still turn the volume down, but it seems to just be stuck down. My Mini has always been in a case (looks brand new, no dents and such) and the power, increase volume buttons still 'click' and work perfectly but I've had it since Christmas 2012 so I think it could just be overuse. Any ideas on how to repair it?
Thank you!

Hello thisiscourtney-
I’m not sure if Apple still performs repairs on 1st Gen iPads anymore, but my recommendation would be to take it to an Apple store or contact Apple directly here for more assistance.
My guess is that most likely it would be uneconomical to fix, but that’s obviously your decision.
Thanks for posting!

Cinema Display power button doesn't sleep

I retired my older 15" Studio Display after recently purchasing a 23" Cinema Display. I loved the feature on my Studio Display that the power button would automatically put my computer to sleep. With my new Cinema display when I push the power button it brings up the Shut Down, Sleep, Restart, dialogue box instead. I changed the system prefs, and it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

I have the opposite problem as Michael's. Mine gives me the option to sleep, powerup JUST the diplay or do nothing. I want to be able to powerup/shutdown the whole Mac using the diplay button on the side. Checked the sys pref and nothing there. Maybe somewhere else?
Pls help. Thanks

HT4061 I can't use my ipad mini. All buttons are frozen including the on and off, can't even find the serial number, can't see it on the back, can't find it under settings because no buttons will work. Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

My ipad mini is frozen and won't allow me to use any buttons. I can't access settings to get the serial number for Apple Support and I can't read the serial number from the back. It's too small and shadowy. There is a message that reads "ICloud Backup--This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Back ups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
It won't allow me to shut if off using the on and off button. I stuck a paper clip into the tiny reset button, but nothing happens.
Has anyone else had this problem? Please help,

This is the most common "fix" when devices are behaving strangely. It only takes a minute and there's no risk of lost data. This is the reason you'll see this fix being suggested so often.

I have an iphone 5 that was originally with verizon but has been unlocked now by them and the phone is still under the apple warranty, if I go to replace for power button malfunctioning, will they give replace it with an unlocked phone as well?

I currently have an iphone 5 that was verizon locked but has been unlocked by them because of my contract, the phone is still under the apple warranty but the power button is not working, if it was the case that apple has to replace it with another phone, will they replace with an unlocked phone now?
thanks

The SIM Lock is stored on the Apple Activation Server - if it has been correctly unlocked by a network then this would have been done on the Activation Server.
When you get your replacement handset through Apple they mirror the activation server details of your existing handset and the current SIM LOCK status is mirror'd onto the new device.
(100% Accurate - done mine 2 weeks before christmas due to original 5 sleep button stopped working)

DVI to ADC adaptor: Display power button no longer works w/G5?

I'm looking for answers on a topic originally brought up in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=221092&tstart=45
concerning the Studio Display's power button when attached to an ADC/DVI adapter for use on a G5.
I am having the same problem. I had previously used the monitor directly attached to an MDD G4, and the power button worked fine. Now that it's attached to the adapter, I can't power up the G5. The brightness button will open the Monitors prefpane, so I would say that it's not a problem with the overall USB system.
Otherwise things work fine, so it's not the end of the world, but I'd like some confirmation or denial of the problem just to know if there's a defect or not.
TIA
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It is working normally. ADC has extra pins to support the power button and light. DVI connectors don't have these pins, so there is no way for the DVI to ADC adapter to make the power button work.
