IPad touchscreen malfunctioning

I recently updated my iPad mini to iOS 7, and everything was going fine until a few days ago. I was on Safari and the touchscreen began responding to something other than my touch. It randomly clicks links and scrolls up and down without me touching the screen. In addition, the left side of the screen is completely unresponsive to my touch. This was not just isolated to Safari, as everywhere on the iPad has the same issue with phantom touches and an uresponsive left side of the screen. This has continued for around four days, and I have tried closing apps, restarting the iPad, and even a full system restore. Despite everything I have tried, the touchcreen still seems to be having issues. I was wondering if there is anything else I could try, or if I should just send the device back to Apple.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Have you tried resetting it? HOld down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. It won't hurt the device. I'ts just like 'control/alt/delete' on a computer

IPad 2 Touchscreen Malfunctioning

My iPad 2 Touchscreen suddenly stopped responding to touch completely. I had not recently updated any software, and all the buttons still work. Even after Restoring, the Touchscreen isn't functioning. Any advice?

Ipad touchscreen problem

I have problems with my ipad's touchscreen, it doesn't respond in one part of the screen!

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new.

My ipad touchscreen doesn't work at all, I can't even turn the ipad off does anyone know what to do?

Can you help me, i have no idea wha has happen to my ipad and it is also saying 'not enough storage', the touchscreen isn't working at all. If you can help i would be so grateful. Many Thanks.

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.

IPad Touchscreen Issues

I recently sent my new 16GB wifi iPad to Apple due to some touchscreen issues I was having. Upon receiving the iPad, Apple did testing on it and concluded that they could not reproduce the issue. The problem was that there was a ½" portion of the touchscreen not responding to touch. I got back my original iPad unaltered and immediately set it up as a new iPad on my computer and tested it using the Adobe Ideas app to ensure the touchscreen was working properly. The same issue is occurring as was before sending it in. It was recommended that I make a youtube video of the issue and post it on this board to get help in fixing the problem.
Here's the video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_U-3kBIJ90

Just take it to the Apple store genius bar. The video / demo you showed should be more than enough to have it addressed on the spot.

IPad apps malfunctioning on screen, disappearing from screen

Hi,
I updated to iOS6 on my iPad 2 and when i tried to download all my of my earlier apps and moved them around they just disappeared leaving a black space between apps. I tried reseting but still the same problem. Please help.

Hallo Jim,
thank you for you answer.
I mean a app like Quasar, that app is only available only on jailbroken iPads via the Cydia Store (more information found on the Blog http://blog.gsmarena.com/quasar-allows-you-to-run-ipad-apps-in-window-mode/). Because I don´t like jailbreak my iPad device, I´m looking for a apple conform app.
Best regard,

IPad mini malfunction in the Marshall Islands

It's been two week since my iPad mini keeps blacking out on me, I've shared my issue earlier to the community before and got some tips on what to do. So I followed and still no results on the issue of my iPad mini blacking out. Deleted apps that I thought might have caused it to keep crashing, Now I've already restored my iPad mini an still have the same issue with it. What to do? Replace?

Urgh my last option that is...thanks for the info.

Ipad display malfunction? - pictures attached

Please help me with this problem. My ipad suddenly started flashing like it has static. I cant read anything. This is what it looks like...

You should probably back it up and make an appointment with the Genius Bar at a nearby Apple store to have it looked at. If you can't see the display you can still back it up by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your iPad in iTunes, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking on Back Up Now under Manually Back Up & Restore.

I can't seem to use my ipad, the touch screen function is not working and does not allow me to slide the screen to open up my ipad. I have tried resetting it and turning it off and on again but no luck.

Ipad screen malfunction upon ios5 installation

Hello,
I recently tried to upgrade my Ipad 1G to ios5 and the screen turned 3/4 black. Now i'm unable to work with it.
I contacted the support team here in Portugal and they are saying that they have to replace the monitor at a cost of 400€, because I bought the ipad in the UK that only has 12 monhs of warranty, and my Ipad as 16 months. Here in Portugal the warranty is 24 months.
The suppor team told me that they have never saw this kind of problem happened to an Ipad, and they are doing everything that they can not solve the problem just because I bought the Ipad in the UK. They are also saying that the only way to solve this problem is to go to the UK. This attitude is unacceptable for an Apple support team.
As you can see I'm not going to solve this problem here in Portugal, so I would like to know how I can solve it?
Thank you,
Eduardo

Update 13/12
Just back from the Apple Store in Central London - after several attempts at a restore, the Genius had to give up claiming it was a "hard drive failure". £300+ for the privilege of a repair after 13 months ... I think not.

Can an iPad keyboard malfunction?

Whenever I want to type something on my iPad Mini, the keyboard is not in it's usual place at the bottom of the screen (It appears to be slightly above the bottom by about an inch). Does this disturb any other Apps on the device and is there a way to fix the issue?
App Store and Internet are also not functioning as well as they normally should (they're really slow, but the internet signal seems O.K.). Is this relative to the keyboard issue?
The current storage space left is approx. 7 GB. Total storage is 13.5 GB.
I don't think there're any jailbreaks on my iPad, but one App was downloaded using a different App Store User.
Thank you for your answers!

No, the keyboard issue does not have anything to do with the internet issue.
My boilerplate for the keyboard problem .....
If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.
For the internet issues, clear Safari, close all apps on the iPad and then reset the device.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now close all apps. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Finally, reset your iPad. 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT201412 My ipad touchscreen has stopped responding at all?

The ipad looks fine but nothing happens when you touch the screen. can anyone help?

Have you tried a reset to see if it works after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
