IPad mini screen not responding.

Was using my iPad for a short duration and locked the screen. Went back to it about 10-20 min later, and the screen was not responding. Would try to slide the lock screen, press the camera, and nothing would work. I have restarted it multiple times with pressing both lock and home buttons at same time, and nothing as worked. I guess I will have to try to let the battery die but thats gonna take a few days. Any suggestions?

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.)

    my ipad mini is not responding to me?

    Try a soft reset by simultaneously pressing the home and power buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release both buttons.  This is a good trouble shooting step since it is so easy, and you won't lose ant data.

  • Ipad mini screen not working??

    so i picked up my ipad mini today and tried to turn it on but nothing happened.   i thought maybe the battery was dead so i plugged it in but it still wouldnt turn on.  i hooked it up to my macbook and it made the noise acknoweldging that it was plugged in but nothing appeared on the screen.  my macbook said it has 100% battery life.  i tried to reset it by holding the top and home button but nothing happened, no apple symbol appeared.  i held down the home button and i can hear siri's voice and she can still find stuff for me but i still have a blank screen?  it seems the ipad is functioning properly just not the screen?  please help! my ipad is brand new, only 3 months old, and i take good care of it!

  • IPad lock screen not responding or won't shut off

    HHow can I get to work

    Hey Bryan,
    For most issues when your iPad is not responding, take a look at the article below to go over some troubleshooting options. Start with holding the Sleep/wake button and home button for about 10 seconds or until you see the Apple logo and test to see if it is responding. After that, if you are still having the same issue where your iPad display is not responding or turning off, then you will want to contact Apple Support to assist you further.

  • IPad mini screen not working / water damage

    I had my iPad mini and a bottle of water i in my bag - water started leaking. When I realised the iPad was still working (it was a bit wet but wiped it off and tested it and it was working), I removed the case and put it in a dry bag. Came back home and tried to use it. The screen lit up for 2 secs and then went dark. The iPad is still working - when I press the home button and the power button I can hear the "taking picture" sound. The screen however remains black.... Any idea what I need to do? Thank you, Eleni

    You really should not turn the iPad on until it is totally dry. Turn it off, if it will turn off. Get a bag and fill it with uncooked white rice. Place the iPad in the bag for 48 hours and let the rice draw the water out of the iPad. You need enough rice to cover the iPad. After 48 hours, remove the iPad, if it still seems to have some dampness, get more rice and try it again.
    When you think it is finally dry enough to try, power it back up again And see how it goes. A better alternative, IMO, would be to take the iPad to an Apple Store and let them inspect it after you dry it out and before you turn it on again.

  • Why is the iPad mini screen not very sensitive to touch?

    There are times when the screen is not sensitive to touch. This is always observed when in Netflix mode, i.e. When trying to pause the move, re-start to continue or when exiting the movie. Is this a common occurrence? This also occurs at times during the internet mode when the backup arrow key is selected to get back to the previous page. Any answers to this issue will be appreciated. I believe this IPad mini is of the 2nd generation.

    That's a fair point but my 4S running the last iOS 5 update loads the thousands of apps I have purchased over the past 4 years in a few seconds on a wi-fi connection. Whereas the mini iPad does not and if it starts showing sings of doing it, it simply crashes back to the home screen. The iPad works flawlessly in all other contexts and when viewing previously purchased music and video, it loads that just fine.
    While these forums are exactly the place where you see that "very small minority" experiencing this issue, it is quite an aggravating hiccup for a brand new device running a somewhat maligned operating system. It is definitely not a hardware issue at all, which is comforting, but it could very well be the operating system and it could also be an Apple server problem, the latter would be great. The end result is that Apple cannot help me after I detailed the issue and escalated it.

  • Ipad mini safari not responding

    I open my safari on my Ipad mini (updated) and it comes up alright, but when i type something in and try to search nothing happens.

    1. Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

  • Some touch buttons on ipad mini don't respond

    Some touch buttons on my ipad mini do not respond?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • HT201412 My ipad mini will not power off. The ICloud Backup  reminder is stuck on the screen and will not clear off.

    My ipad mini will not power off, nor will it respond to any commands.  The ICloud Backup reminder (which I do not use and have not activated)is stuck on the screen and will not clear.

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds and see if you can get it to reboot.

  • My ipad mini screen will not slide to unlock

    My IPad mini screen will not unlock. It was fine one minute and the next, I couldn't slide it to unlock it.

    Does anything happen when you touch the screen, the slider doesn't get a box around it (which would indicate VoiceOver being 'on') ?
    If not then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
