Is the iPad 2 light bleeding issue fixed yet?

Did Apple finally fix the issue of light bleeding from under the bezel or are defective iPad 2s
still being sold?
Anybody knows?
Regards

Hey everyone,
Just purchased my iPad 2 yesterday from the Apple Store in Birmingham. It was the last one left in the store so you can imagine how happy I was to get one finally! However I have also noticed mine is suffering from this backlight bleeding problem, in quite a few spots around the screen. I also have either a couple of dead pixels or a large piece of dust stuck under the glass in the middle of the screen, which is equally annoying. Will Apple exchange this for me? Should I ring up the nearest Apple store and see what they'll do? I love this device and just wanna get on and use it, but for the money I'm paying I don't think I should put up with defects. What's everyone's advice?

Light bleeding issue help

I have had my ipad for almost 4 months now and i had this light bleeding issue since i first purchased but now i find it a problem when i look at pictures and watch videos. I have also got a few dents as last week my daughter dropped the ipad from both sides so the corners on the Ipad are dented so if i take my ipad to the genius bar for repair i feel nervous that they might think the dents caused the light bleeding so i wanna know if my 8 month warranty will help my ipad become repaired or replaced.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage.
That said the only way you will know if your warranty will remain in effect as to the light bleeding even with the dents is to visit the Apple store and find out.

I have the same problem on an original iPad.

My 3rd generation ipad even though my battery is at 100 % the screen goes black after sitting for more than 15 mins. The only way to get it to come is by resetting the ipad. Is there a fix for this. It all started after the last two updates.

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Have you previously synced photos to your iPad ? If so try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync and see if they then copy over - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
In terms of iOS5, what version of iTunes have you got on your computer ? You need iTunes 10.5 to be able to download iOS 5

IPad 2 light bleeding is receding?

I will confirm in the next few days, but, my light leakage is not as severe as yesterday.
Maybe it is connected with the drying of the screen glue.
The next few days will tell, I guess.
Anybody else?

any sense, technically, with how glue drying would/wouldn't deliver a light bleed?
admittedly am not an expert on LCD technology, but it seems weird to me that less-than-dry glue (meaning more pliable and flexible) would create the light bleed so many have been documenting.
on the two iPad2s that i've had (both returned), the light bleed was localized to a particular spot(s) on the screen edge and reacted differently than the rest of the screen edge when i pressed them directly. in places where there was no light bleed i saw no reaction on the screen when i applied pressure...but when i applied pressure to the areas experiencing light bleed, the bleeding got worse.
again, no LCD expert, but it "looks" like the gasket that surrounds the screen may be pressing on the LCD array in some spots more than it should. if that's the case, then it won't go away with time...and has zero to do with glue drying.

Are the problems with Compressor's encoding fixed yet?

Sorry for the slightly vague title but I only use compressor once a year basically, which is after the production of a Christmas show I produce. Last year I upgraded ot Final Cut Studio to do the DVD and got caught out. I encoded using what I thought was the best setting (2 pass variable bit rate) and got jittery encoding. After investigating on this very forum, I found lots of comments about known problems with Compressor's encoding in this setting and ended up re encoding using one pass which was "ok".
I'd rather do the best job I can so the basic question is, "is it fixed yet". Keeping in mind I understand about altering settings so that I can get the time I need onto one disc (110 minutes unfortunately!) What setting will offer me the best possible picture quality, regardless of encoding time, with compressor? Many, many thaks for any advice you regular user can offer!!
Happy Christmas in advance, Gareth

Gareth:
According what was posted in this thread:

by Brian a lot of problems must be solved using the last 2.3 version.
Hope it helps !

Does the iPad 2 still have issues with light bleeding/yellowing?

Hi,
I placed an order for an iPad 2 back in April but cancelled the order when I heard about initial quality control issues such as light bleeding/yellowing. However, I am keen to buy a iPad 2. Could anyone who bought an iPad 2 more recently (say, since mid May) advise whether they too have had these issues? I can't afford to spend £500+ on a device that doesn't work like it's supposed to.
Thanks!
Tony

Hi there Tony!
All iPads should work as expected, to have a fault with one is usually a random, and rare event. Your iPad will probably be perfect, only a few out of a very large number have defects.
However, if your iPad does not meet your standards when you purchase it, I would take it to the local Apple Store. You receive a 1 year limited warranty, and they will be happy to replace it if any defects occur.
Hope that put your mind at rest.

What Apple told me about iPad 2 light bleeding

When I went to the store, the genius told me that the light bleeding will do away over time because of the glue drying. Is this true, did anybody have any luck?

iPad 1's have light leakage. This is not a new issue and is most noticeable when watching a movie in the dark and it's a dark scene. At least I experienced this with my iPad Wifi (which I later returned) and then also my iPad WiFi + 3G (which I ebayed). I can't speak for my iPad 2 because it's still in China probably being assembled. I will say that the light leakage issue was definitely annoying for me and Apple really did not have a solution for the problem. What's really going to be interesting is to see whether the white iPad (which is the model I purchased) has any light leaking through the white border around the screen. We shall see.

Wifi connectivity issues iPad 2.. Any fixes yet?

I have issues keeping a connection to my home network. No, I don't have an airport router (just in case that comes up). My iPad connects, but loses signal strength, even though I'm only a few feet away from the router, and sometimes just disconnects altogether. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix yet. I noticed there are quite a few users having similar troubles, but haven't seen anyone actually ask or receive concrete feedback regarding a fix.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad? Anyone have a fix? Have also created a dropdown menu, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

Glad you got it sorted out.

IPad air light bleeding

Hello! I'm aware that many older generation iPads have this problem where light leaks out of the side of the screen when the iPad is being used in a dark environment with a dark image on the screen. However I think it's more rare on the iPad Air which is what I've got and I can see some leakage (please see the photos bellow). Although the leakage isn't that bad at all and I can put up with it I am worried that in a year or so time the problem will get worse. Does anybody think I should take this to the Apple Store before my warranty runs out? Do you know if the problem deteriorates over time?

Oops. The link might not work. It doesn't really matter anyway, just imagine a tiny bit of white botching around the edge of the screen. The main thing I'm worried about is if this will get worse?

Is there a replacement YouTube App for the removal of the native YouTube in iOS 6? There is one for the iPhone/iPod but so far nothing for the iPad. Will this be fixed soon?

Just wondering if there is anything coming out soon. Kind of a big missing chunk from the iPad features list in my opinion. Thanks.

The website version is nowhere near as functional as the original app. It can't even go into fullscreen mode. I hope Google will make a decent version of YouTube for the iPad like they did for the iPhone. Third party apps seem to fall short in terms of software fluidity and features right now.

Can the iPad truly replace a "normal" computer yet?

My wife and I are looking to replace two computers. One is her Sony Vaio laptop, the other is my iMac G5. I mentioned to her that we could both get iPads, one for me and one for her and that it would really do everything we would need them to do. I know that the collective opinion is that tablets are the future of computing - proof being Apple releasing a 128GB iPad w/ Retina today. If I were to "start from scratch", as in, I don't have a PC with this content already on it that can be easily synched to the new iPads - I just have two iPads that I need to get my physical music albums onto as well as GBs of photos from my camera. Can you get you're own content to the iPad without the help of a traditional computer - be it laptop or desktop? Is there some sort of USB adapter for the new iPads that you can use to connect other devices to it for uploading content - like a external CD-ROM drive or a camera?

Great discussion, but I don't think anyone has addressed the true question. ddemuth78 isn't asking is it feasible, he's asking if it is even possible. He has already stated the iPad does everything he and his wife do with their computers. The question is, "is it yet physically possible to have an iPad be a single stand alone computer?"
There are two basic uses for a computer, creating content, and consuming content. As a content creator, I find the iPad nearly useless. However, as a content consumer, I find the iPad (or any well designed tablet) to be the best device for consuming. Obviously, if you have multiple monitors or need in depth file management tools, the iPad isnt the right tool for the job. But what if the iPad IS the right tool for every job you want your computer to do? Is it physically possible to have just an iPad without another "real" computer to connect it to? Someone else already mentioned, by adding a simple case with integrated keyboard you have resolved the main issue with any content creation, the virtual keyboard reduces everyone to "hunt and peck" mode. Alternatively, you could connect a Bluetooth wireless full keyboard as well so you can type on your lap. First issue resolved.
The biggest issue I see with having the iPad as your only computer is that it simply wasn't designed to be so. It was designed to be managed by syncing it to the main computer using a USB cable and iTunes as the management software. However, the reason the main question can even be asked is because eventually, once you've got the iPad set up the way you want it, and you've transferred your music (which largely lives on iCloud now for free with the advent of iTunes Match), and photos from the main computer (especially if you now use the iPad as your camera so no more transferring required), once you get to this point, you really don't need to connect to you computer any more. Or do you?
For the email, music, pictures, games, and video chat crowd, once you've got the iPad set up the way you want it, do you ever NEED to connect it to a computer again? THATS the question. Plus, is the question (or the answer) different for the owners of different generations of iPads (or other tablets).
My mother plays games, does email, browses, takes pics on a camera (iPad 0, no camera) and uploads them to various sites. Her Wintel machine is 15 YEARS OLD!!!!! She is an artistic person and hates the machine and all the boxes and wires.she loves the wireless iPad. Clearly, if she is going to continue to own a computer it's time to get a new one. It would be a MUCH more pleasant experience on a new computer, but she will still need to got to the computer to use it, and still have to look at the modem, router, and accompanying wires. Question, can she use the iPad wirelessly in the living room, using the HD flat screen TV as the monitor, the virtual keyboard or Bluetooth keyboard and the iPads touch screen for the mouse and NOT buy a new computer? The question isn't "is this the right thing for her?" It absolutely is. The question is, can the iPod successfully survive without being synced to a main computer ever again?"
The only reason this is even a question is because the iPad was never designed to do this. It may have been envisioned as being able to do this one day, that may well be its ultimate function, but as yet, it has not been designed to survive without the occasional syncing to a main computer. Keeping in mind the iPad is really just an iPhone without the phone. Even iPhone, until the current release of iPhone 5 was meant to sync to a computer. My understanding is that the new 5 can in fact live successfully without syncing to a computer - the market wanted it so Apple delivered. So, can the iPad currently do the same or is there still a generation or two to go before it gets there? Especially the iPad 0. Are there things that it simply needs to be synced to the computer for that would hamper its function as a stand alone device? I don't know. What I do know is that it was designed as a side car, as a piggyback unit, as an extension of your main computer to give you a consumption option other than sitting at that desk in that folded up shape.
My mother is asking, and I am investigating. It seems like it should be able to survive to on its own, without another computer, but it wasn't designed for that so I am loathe to tell her yet that it is OK.
Anyone got any absolute knowledge one way or another, or resources that can be used to get a definitive answer?
Thanks.
