IPad screen and alupen: possible damage?
Hi everyone,
I have been using the justmobile alupen on my ipad in the last two months.
I use it with notability, using the zoom function, that makes me write at the bottom of the screen.
I have now realised that the area where I write catches dirt and fingerprints more easily.
This happens also if I do not use the stylus at all.
It is also more difficult to clean, and the feeling under my fingers is not as smooth as in other areas of the screen.
Is it possible that the screen has got damaged in some way?
Thank you
FEDERICO
Anything is possible. You can look on that pen's support site, see if other users report issues. And even if nothing is reported, you may want to look into a screen protector. There's one by Zagg that is $30 but has a lifetime warranty, or you can go for others, it's a matter of personal choice.
There is no real data on how screens are affected by styli, but common sense would tell me that any time one thing touches another there will eventually be an effect. Your styli may not be hurting the screen itself as it may be affecting the special coating on the screen.

No it will not, unfortunately. I just tried it. -
I recently broke my iPad screen and had the iPad replaced in the Genius Bar. We deleted everything from the old iPad then I took it home to connect to iCloud to restore all of my work. Everything came back from iCloud except some work I had done in NUMBERS. Any suggestions? I'd love to relocate this work.
You cannot prevent it from being erased now. But surely you backup with iCloud or iTunes and/or sync with iTunes so when you get the iPad up and running again, just restore from your iCloud backup, or your iTunes backup and then sync with iTunes again and you will be OK.
If you don't backup or sync .... Well then you should probably think about doing so in the future. Out of the mouth of a Apple ......
If you erase then find your iOS device, you can restore the information on the device using iCloud Backup (if backup was turned on before you erased it) or iTunes. For more information, see iCloud storage and backup overview, or your device’s user guide in Safari bookmarks or on the Apple Support website. -

Make sure your iOS device is able to connect to the internent over Wi-Fi." Please any idea of what to do to get rid of this message from the screen.
Thanks.Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

I have had my iPad 2 since the start of June 2011. There are a lot of times when it works great, but I have had trouble sometimes when I sync. Prior problems were with SQLite3.dll, but got help copying that file to the right place. I have also completely uninstalled and re-installed iTunes. However, my biggest problem is that sometimes when I plug it in to sync with iTunes, it automatically goes to the "Set Up Your iPad" screen. It only allows me to set it up as a new iPad, or restore it from a backup. This is happening more and more. So much so that everytime I plug it in and it actually does work, before disconnecting I will right click on the iPad on the left hand bar and do a backup. This is really starting to get on my nerves. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary with my iPad. Just playing some games and having a few other apps. It's so hard when playing some games like Angry Birds, getting 3 stars in all levels, only to plug the iPad in again to sync and have to restore it and lose all progress! Does anyone know why it goes to this screen? It doesn't happen all the time, but I'd say once every 4 times I connect. Also, I'm using Windows 7, and yes, all windows updates are done, and iTunes always is on the most up-to-date version. Thanks for any help!
Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ... -

How do I fix an Ipod Touch 4G when it has a white screen and maybe water damage
I jumped in a lake with my ipod in my pocket and stayed in there for about an hour and about a week and a half in the rice container, my Ipod Touch 4G has a white screen and i tried to restore it and reset it but nothing worked, please help me!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished for this price:

Some time ago my ipad 4 screen slowly began forming a long hairline crack at one corner and near the home button for some reason, perhaps daily rough and tumble taking it to class and whatnot. The crack is not very noticeable so I have delayed getting the screen repaired.
I used to have a Boxwave Cleartouch Ultra screen protector on, and as directed, would peel it off now and then to give it a good wash(it's one of those reusable ones with adhesive on the edges only and yes they are meant to be washed now and then). One day after doing this, I noticed a strange puddle of tiny round stains clustering near the crack. I didn't think much of it until I equipped my ipad with a stronger ipad case with it's own screen protector. The stain seemed to cling onto the Boxwave screen protector even after cleaning. Now with a new screen protector the stains around the crack were these tiny rainbowy areas around the crack that sat on top of the glass and were visible as just some kind of smudge when the screen was turned off. I recently discovered the stain has transferred to my new screen protector when I remove it and is visible when you look at it at an angle when removed from the ipad. Not even dish soap seems to get rid of it.
I am wondering what this stain could be, I mean there is no liquid pooling out of the digitizer or anything. One idea I have is that maybe some adhesive from the first screen protector got loose after washing and pooled into the crack and thats why they have a smudgy appearance that they got when wiping the screen dry. There are no liquid stains under the crack however. Another thing I thought of was maybe something to do with oleophobic coating and the crack itself. I am also wondering how to get rod of it safety.You are welcome.

N97 spontaneous charging and a possibly damaged mi...
Just sitting around with my N97 on the desk next to me.. All of a sudden, the white charge light turns on. That's a bit strange, unlock the screen to see the battery indicator shows the device is charging. Wouldn't mind, but the phone isn't plugged in to anything?!
I have a sneaking suspicion the micro USB connector isn't particularly healthy on my handset. Not that I've used it much (I don't seem able to get any of the PC software to work.. backups fail due to internal errors, syncing copies all my music every time I connect, even if there are no new tracks or changes, firmware update.. what firmware update?!)
Will nokia "repair/replace" a handset with a defective micro usb port? Further more, why would this phone suddenly think it is charging?Seems strange.
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I downloaded/installed a software that came up on the IPad screen and left itrunning until the next morning. When I went to used the IPad next day, I have not been able to restart it. What should I do?
thanks,
hariIf you mean that it won't boot up, then assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take about 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How much to replace an ipad screen?

How much do Apple charge to replace an ipad screen and is it covered under warranty?
