IPad screen image burn

I've noticed lately that when ever I'm using any thurs party app weather it be Facebook or Google Earrh or even the native Safari app, upon closing said app and returning to my main "Spring board" I notice that there is a faint image burn of the previous app at the top of the screen my the clock. The faint "image burn" is typically of the app's search box. I've already cleared out any apps running in the background, relaunched the app that causes the image burn and force quit the app, and even restarted the device. I haven't noticed this "issue" in the past until updating to iOS 5.1.1. This isn't a major issue for me but it is still rather annoying none the less. Does anyone else have this issue? Any idea what's causing it and how to end it? Thanks.

@Jay no I have not jail broken my iPad. I was browsing and came upon this link: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1220231
Do you think that this may be what I'm dealing with? This is an iPad 2 running iOS 5.1.1 I purchased it on launch day, so I doubt that it's components could be failing on me already.

Images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?

What's wrong with my mac if images burn into the screen after being there for only a few minutes?
I can have an icon, like a folder or something, on my desktop for only a few minutes and then when I move it an image of it will be burned into the screen for another few minutes. Same thing happens with having a webpage open for a few minutes or word document. What part of my computer is malfunctioning and is Apple responsible for repairing it?

Hi,
Does it happen on all desktops applications as well as Modern UI Apps? Since this issue only happened recently, I suspect a newly-installed third party program causes this issue, please check these programs if possible.
We can also boot into clean boot mode, test the issue.

Is the ipad screen sensitive for burning when you do not use the lock function

I want to have the ipad directly accessible at all times. Setting the lock function to 'never' allows this. Now the apps on the home screen are displayed continuously. Will this affect the screen like it was on tv and computer that after a while you see 'imprints' of those apps on the screen, called 'burning'?

Will a square format image fit into iPad screen and show full horizontal and vertical image?

Can a square format image be used to place in iPad screen and be viewed as either vertical or horizontal without experiencing unwanted cut off?

No it will not, unfortunately. I just tried it.

I received a notice to my ipad to update ios7 the latest version. i clicked on update now and the ipad is frozen with an itunes logo and a ipad connector image on the screen. anyone help me with this

I received a notice to update my ipad to the latest version of ios7 and when I did the ipad froze with a itune logo and an ipad connector image on the screen..i have turned it off several times but it remains frozen. anyone help with this?

Unfortunately, your iPad went into recovery mode and must be restored now. There is no getting around this. You need to use iTunes to do this as well. Read this for more instructions.

Turning off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes

Quick question: How do I turn off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes. Is this even possible? Are there settings I am overlooking? Or perhaps a third-party app which can make it happen?
I have a large library and often leave my iPad connected to iTunes for several hours at a stretch. The bright glowing screen can be a big distraction, and, more importantly I am very worried about pixel burn-in.
Cheers,

The iPad LED Backlit IPS Screen is not phosphor-based, so there is no permanent phosphor burn-in problem. You might see some image persistence, but that is not permanent and can be corrected. See this support article about image persistence: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
Since you have already converted your music to 128 kbps, you are unlikely to see any more 10+ hour syncs unless you have to do a restore. In that event, you could select the brightness control in settings to the lowest level.
FYI, there are some apps, such as Night stand HD that are designed to be used for long periods with unvarying displays and I have yet to see image persistence problems reported. However, since the iPad is still a new product, there may be some reports in the future.

IPad Screen Issue..."Burnt In Bar"

Well, after owning & using my iPad since November, and LOVING IT, I have noticed - all of the sudden - a one-inch-wide bluish 'bar' that is VERY subtle on the left side of the screen, which runs the entire long length of the unit.
VERY disappointing, as I am sure you can appreciate.
I purchased the unit at Best-Buy, with an extended warranty, as there are no close Apple retail stores in my area.
A) Anyone else experience this issue?
II) Anything I can do about it?
3) Recommendations?
How do I back up my Kindle purchases? I do not see my (several) books anywhere.
THANKS!

As others have noted, it sounds like a hardware fault in the screen, and as long as it's not intermittent and there's no physical damage to the iPad, you shouldn't have any problem getting a replacement.
I do want to clear up something regarding your subject line, though, in case others see this post: you refer to "burn in," which is a term that was used in the days of CRT monitors to refer to an image that becomes permanent with time on a monitor because of heavy use. Some older Macs, for example, have a ghosted image of the Mac OS menu bar atop their CRT screen. Plasma TVs can also be affected.
I've seen some posts, especially in App Store reviews, that claim their iPad screen suffers from burn-in. This is not the case. LCD screens are practically incapable of burn-in, and certainly not within the timeframe that the iPad has been in existence. A hardware fault can cause similar symptoms, but they're unrelated to "burn-in," and they're certainly not caused by specific apps, as others elsewhere claim.
That is all. :^>

IMovie 6 HD - TV Screen Images are blurred

How do I created iMovie DVD that plays clear images and text?
I do not want to keep wasting DVDs experimenting for clear result.
I created iMovie per instructions from another post:
imported screenshots of website using KenBurns effect;
set the effect to 1.0 to stop zooming, and did not allow iMovie to render movie when exporting.
Discussion indicated that blurred image in iMovie would be clear on TV screen.
Imported snapshots were crystal clear in Preview and Photoshop.
Imported iMovie to iDVD and burned DVD.
DVD plays blurred images and text.

Are you saying I should size any still images at 768x576 pix before importing them into iMovie since that is TV resolution?
If you are using PAL, yes. For NTSC, the resolution is 640x480 pixels.
Does it matter what dpi the images are?
No, the dpi is of NO concern in video.
If snapshot captures screen images at 72dpi,
does it help to increase dpi of image in Photoshop?
No.
or is that only interpolating dpi since capture was at 72dpi?
Yes.

Image Burn-In (still images)

Does anyone have any info/experience with image burn-in? As in where images are permantly burnt onto TV screens.
I'm doing a training DVD which will have various slideshows like a powerpoint. Some slides may be up for a while, plus there would probably be consistent elements to teach slide, like a logo. I'm just wondering if there would be much risk of causing image burn in? The training sessions would go for 90-120 min.
Thanks
Mike

I googled a bit for burn-in and couldn't find anything definitive on how long it takes for a CRT to burn an image in.
I think it's because it might vary depending on how old the TV is... newer TVs (as well as newer plasmas) are much more resistant to burn-in.
http://www.insideapple.com/articles/purpose_screensavers.php
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/displays/topic2160.html
The one Inside Apple article states "24 hours" but I'm not sure where he gets that number.
So, I'm guessing, but I'd say you wouldn't have to worry about 2 hours of static image. If you were concerned, you could always set a menu's time-out value and have it jump after the time-out has expired to a looping video with a constantly-moving image.

How do export a double page spread photo to epub and fill an ipad screen?

I'm completely new to indesign. I'm using XP and Indesign CS6. I'm testing my epub on the new IPad 3.
I've published numerous books in print form with major publishing house in the US. I need to quickly get a copy of the book in epub format for publication on the ipads. Maybe later for the nook, etc. Eventually I will want to design new ebooks from scratch.
We are scanning the book spreads [photos and text together a double page spread] and want to show those spreads on the ipad as a single horizontal image with no page gutter. We've placed those jpg spreads in indesign as a double page spread. When we publish to epub it does not show as a double page spread. It only shows up as a horizontal image on either the left or right side of a vertical book [gutter layout] view on the ipad. It never spreads out to fill the entire ipad screen. What simple thing are we missing?
Thanks so much
Dwight

"The" iPad does not exist as a target, so I'm assuming you mean you export to a regular ePub and are viewing it using iBooks.
iBooks is page-agnostic. ePubs do not support the notion of "left-right" pages. In fact, iBooks is the only ePub viewer I am aware of that even tries to show "two" pages at a time.
Re-design your document so each image appears on its own page.

Image Burn????

So if I have a Sony 57" Grand Wega HD-TV that has rear projection CRT, won't I get image burn from the hard drive icon and the menu bar? If the icon was animated it wouldn't be a problem and if I could hide the menu bar until I rolled over it, I think I would be ok. Has anyone experience these problems? I like the idea of a Mac Mini as a DVR and to show photo slideshows in HD, but I don't want to risk burn in.

Raymond,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
No real experience with burned in TV/displays but:
*Slide shows tend to hide the menu bar when viewed in full screen mode.
*You can set the "Finder preferences" to show nothing at all on your desktop.
*Use your screensaver.
Most TV channel also have a fixed logo in the corner of your screen (at least they have here).
And you can always ask your retailer or Sony...

Netflix damage iPad screen?

Hi, I've heard and read that diaplaying static images could cause damage a screen, and that's my concern
Hi, Recently got an iPad 2 mainly to watch netflix and also bought an Apple Digital AV adapter today so I can watch it on my TV.
The thing is that if I start to playback a movie with the Digital AV pluged in, the movie displays in the tv and a static red Netflix logo is displayed on the ipad.
And as far as I saw, that image won't go away. And he ipad will stop the playback if it gets locked.
Will my iPad screen get damaged by using the netflix app and the digital AV adapter?
Thanks so much in advance.

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

Ipad screen problem ! HELP ASAP ...

Hey guys ,
i just open my bag and see that my ipad screen is something like this :
http://sbms87.com/ipad.jpg
I am absolutely positive that there was no falling or anything ...
i don't have access to any apple retail store or apple care or any apple official delegates at all ... ( i can't replace it )
what can i do ?
please help and give me a solution ..

the first thing i do , was hard resetting iPad and then restoring it ...
seems that this black bar is part of screen . even in restoring , that was there and never left ...
i search the problem in other forums , and found a couple persons that have the same problems . even the position and size of the black bars was the same ( all of them go to apple store and get a replace in no time ! ) ... so i think that's not a random corruption of display connector or LCD ... .
also , this black bar is independent of orientation , that always remain in the same place . and sometimes half of it get lining structure ( lines with different colors ) .
i also capture image from the ipad screen with Sleep + Home buttons and that's correct and there is no sign of black bar ...

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. 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).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. 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.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Original iPad screen resolution

I've noticed that since I upgraded my wifi to xfiniti blast, super fast wifi, my original iPad screen resolution is much crisper, and clearer, cleaner...
Is the screen resolution and images on original iPad affected by a stronger , faster wif signal?
Or is it sometimes not as crisp and clear due to overheating?

Are you using a cloud-based browser like Opera or iSwifter? This is the only way I can conceive your Internet connection affecting clarity.
