Mini iPad screen and system issues

Hi im a new mini ipad user and i want to seek your help on 2 things. 1) what do i need to do if the sceen of my ipad is blinking? I just bought it 2 weeks ago.  2) why is it that the system is crashing when you open 3 applications then suddenly it will go back to the home page screen? Thanks in advance

Try this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

    I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

    I had the same problem with my first gen ipad mini. The solution was not  to do a hard reset, but instead to push the sleep/off button until the  red slider appeared, then slide to OFF. Wait a few seconds then push the  sleep/home button until the Apple logo appeared. The lines were gone.  I  called Apple Support and they wanted $19 to troubleshoot over the phone  and $99-$199 to bring to the nearest Apple store. This may not be a  permanent fix, but it resolved the issue. I purchased my ipad mini from a  local electronics store in May of this year. Believing it to be new and  still under warranty I called the AppleCare store and discovered that  it had "previously" been purchased in November a year ago and was no  longer in warranty. As stated, I've had the device since May and it has  worked wonderfully until today when I turned it on and it had colored  vertical lines displayed on the screen. The lines would change color at  times and even became a solid black stripe. The strange thing was that  when taking a screen shot the lines were not noticeable and didn't show  up on the picture. The Customer Care support tech told me to search  other display issues. On one of the support threads it had something to  do with videos/video apps and that is where I saw to do the SLIDER OFF.  It worked even when the hard RESET had not.

    My mini iPad screen is flashing all the time

    Try to reset it. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. If that doesn't help then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look it over.

    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299

    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

    Hi
    What BSOD code you get exactly?
    Which OS you are using?
    Maybe its a driver problem. Have you checked the device manager for yellow exclamation marks?
    Can you boot in safe mode?

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

  • I recently broke my iPad screen and replaced the iPad.  All of my iCloud account was able to be uploaded again except for some work we did in NUMBERS.  Any suggestions to find it it out there in the cloud?

    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.

    I started to do the latest update to iOS7 in my iPad mini and it froze the screen at the area Apple ID security where it asks for "Add Security Question".  I press the next icon, and nothing happens.  The screen is frozen there and I can't get out.  I can go no further forward nor can I be back.  It's just stuck.  This has rendered my mini iPad useless.  What can I do?

    If I need to back-up every hour of my life in order to be able to save everything from something like this I won´t do anything else.....at least we should be able to trust that Apple tests this updates so situations like this won´t happen.
    That's exactly what Time Machine does for you.  It backs up every hour, so you don't have to.  While it is backing up, you keep on working.  Time Macvhine came with your Mac and you chose not to use it.
    The 10.7.4 update did not cause your hard disk to fail.  Hard disk fail due to mechanical causes.  They are extremely reliable, but that doesn't mean every hard disk will last a long time.  Your mileage WILL vary!
    If you are dependent on your computer and the data stored on it, then you should make sure you have AT LEAST two copies of all data and probably three or four.  You should use at least two means of backing up in case the backup software has a problem.  And you should consider having a backup computer if you live in an area where replacement takes too long (whatever too long is for your business).
    Apple hardware and software is very, very good.  You have documented your experience of this.  But NO hardware or software is perfect.  You also have experience of this.
    It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that your system is set up to protect your data and availability of computing resources.

  • Mini-iPad DEAD and completely unresonsive

    Hi I also have a mini ipad that is completely dead, unresponsive and cannot be restarted since it is DEAD!!!! it s just over a year old so no longer covered by gurantee, it was very expensive because i bought the 64gb, so now  i basically use is as an i-mousepad.... very depressing

    Hey estherfrommaale adumim,
    Thanks for the question. I can understand how frustrating this situation may be. However, to completely isolate to a hardware issue, it would be best to follow each step in this resource:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Resolution
    1. If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    2. If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    3. If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    4. If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
              1. If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
              2. Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
              3. If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
              4. If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
              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. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
              3. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • IPhone 5: Blue Screen and Restarting Issue

    I have an iPhone 5 and am running iOS 7.0.04.  Just a few days ago my phone has had the following issues:
    1)  Phone randomly restarts
    2)  While using the phone, system will crash and the result is the Blue Screen of death.  Only way to get out of this crash is to do a manual restart
    3) While using phone, screen will start flickering, lines will appear on screen and I will either get a Blue Screen or a White Screen.
    I have done the following to date:
    1) Backed up Phone and synced/restored from my Computer
    2) Erased all settings and restored from iCloud Backup
    My phone is out of warranty and I think if I take it back to the Apple Store they will tell me I'm SOL.
    Just wanted to know if people think this is a Hardware or Software issue.

    Hello jackhandy234,
    I have a white iPhone 5 running on the latest IOS 7.0.4 and I am having a similar problem. I have had my phone for about 6 months now and have had it always well protected in a sturdy case similar to an otter box case. I have had no problems with the phone until 2 nights ago.
    While on the messaging app "kik" My phone froze up, vertical pixalated lines appeared,it faded into a black screen, shut down and automatically turned on again. It repeated this "glitch" while powering back up about 3 times. Finally after having to manually restart it by pressing the power and home button for 5-6 seconds it stop.
    After going back to using my phone, not 5 mins past, and it was "glitching" up again. In the past 48 hours it has glitch over 26+ times. Everytime I need to use my phone for more then 5 mins I need to manually reset it.
    If you have found a solution to your problem, please post it because it could possibly solve mine.

  • Blue screen and volume issue

    Need some help here. (hope Im in the right place)
    Im getting the blue screen and spinning wheel at shutdown, computer wont turn off.
    I run Techtool Deluxe and my Volume Structure fails (passes surface scan).
    Disk Utility says volume is fine......
    Im sure an erase and install would do the trick but I would really like to know more about what the issue is, how it happened, and how to avoid it in the future. As well as if its fixable without a clean install.
    Just getting into the tech side of life so any direction on troubleshooting this issue would be much appreciated.
    Thanks you
