My iPad 2 screen is suddenly very dark, blurred and flickers...

Ive had my ipad for about a month. I opened my smart cover today and the screen is very dim. I've had to turn it up tp full brightness just to use it to type on now. Furthermore it's very blurry and has tons of ghosting, I have no idea what has caused this. I haven't damaged it in anyway.

Try a hard reset:
Press and Hold the Home button and the Wake / Sleep button at the same time, keep them both pressed until you see the Apple Logo appear on the screen. Ignore the slide to turn off message, just keep both buttons pressed.
This does NOT affect any content on your iPad.
If that does not work then you need to take your iPad in to Apple as it sounds faulty.

The screen has become very dark

first time poster looking for some help. today the computer went to sleep, and when i woke it up the screen had become very dark, barely visible. adjusting the brightness did not work, neither did restarting the computer. after reading a number of these posts i elected to reset the pmu. i suspect that it worked because a window opened stating that the date was now prior to sometime in 2001, but the screen remains dark. does anyone have any other suggestions to fix this problem? thank you in advance.

Try System Preferences>Universal Access and then choose Seeing. Adjust the Enhance Contrast Slider, try putting it near Normal.
Hope this helps.

I am trying to delete an email. However, when I highlight it, the highlight turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it! How come this happens?

I am trying to delete an email. However, recently, when I highlight the email, the highlighted area turns a very dark blue and all I can do is undelete it. The "delete" sign at the top is not visible. What causes this to happen?

I found this link for a similar problem someone had with a Lotus Notes account. I used it to resolve my issue with a different email account (basically followed the same steps, and then looked for the particular account I needed to delete)... hope it helps!

MacBook screen randomly gets very dark

My MacBook is from 2007, so it is old and has its problems. I am currently in college and use my iPad primarily for school work. Thank God I got this iPad a few weeks ago because I did not know my computer would have such a huge problem! When I turned it on one day, it was all normal, and randomly the screen got so dark, it looked like the computer had shut down on me. I knew it was still turned on though because the little light was indicating that it was on and it was still making the cd drive/booting up sounds. After a while, I noticed that the screen just went very very dim, because I could still slightly see the webpage I was on. Turning up the brightness of the screen did nothing to help, same with restarting the computer. Sometimes the screen would come back to the normal brightness, until I would go to do something on the internet and it would go very dark again. It's so unpredictable, I don't even want to deal with it anymore. But there are some things for school I just need my laptop for rather than my iPad and I really need some help trying to fix it!! I seriously cannot afford to buy a new MacBook right now, so I need to get this dim screen fixed so this computer can last me the rest of the semester.

It sounds like screen is failing. There is no fix if this is the problem.

Photos in iPhoto are suddenly VERY Dark

I have over 4,000 photos in my iPhoto library and up until a few days ago everything seemed to be working perfectly. But all of a sudden - literally one minute the application was open and everything was working fine and the next minute all my photos looked very dark. In video terminology, they all looked as though the "black was crushed." In other words, where there was once detail was now almost completely in shadow or dark. What would cause something like this to happen? Everything else on my Cinema Display looks fine… in other words I can open the same photo in Photoshop and the image looks the way it should. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I might add, that around the same time this happened, my second monitor, and older Apple 17" with the lucite legs, suddenly began displaying EVERYTHING on it slightly darker. I tried running color sync but that didn't seem to help. Repaired permissions. Ran Disk Warrior. Nothing. I just chalked that problem up to old age, but now I wonder if the two aren't somehow related.
Thanks in advance.

John:
Do the photos display the same using another application, like Preview? If yes then boot into another account and view some of the same photos in Preview or a temp iPhoto library.
If the other account displays them OK then there may be some preference file in your primary account that is bad. Here's a way to week them out.
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Tiger
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the application again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, go to the new Preferencess folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the *Don't Replace* button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

When rapidly tapping my ipad 2 screen, it zoomed in really far and now I can't zoom out of it, pan around the screen, or power off.

This has made it basically unusable, when I've only had my ipad for 3 days. What can I do?

In the event that you turned on Zoom in Settings>General>Accessibilty>Zoom>On .... Try triple clicking the home button and if that returns the screen to normal - go the settings and shut it off. You can also try double tapping with three fingers and drag to change Zoom.
If you didn't enable Zoom, reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

Screen is suddenly half dark. How do I fix it

Never had problem before. Screen said something about temperature hot. I left it alone and came back to the screen half dark on left side portrait ways. Can I fix?

YOu can try to reset your iPad. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot. However I think you should also prepare yourself for the possibility that your ipad has/is dying. if part of the insides are gone or broken, then the device is done for.

Camera photos taken in photo booth are all of a sudden very dark

I was taking photos of myself on my macbook pro and all of a sudden all images the built in camera picks up are too dark. How do I fix this? I don't know what happened it just did it all of a sudden and won't go back to normal.

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

HT1338 my iPad is currently updated with the latest software. I have been experiencing a strange activity; the iPad switches screens on its own, bouncing back and forth from screens. Sometimes I am typing and suddenly the screen switches randomly.

My Iphone screen is suddenly very hard to read. The light has disappeared after it had been wet.

My screen is hardly not readable anymore. The light has disappeared, probably after it got wet. Any idea about what I can do to fix it?

This is called "No Backlight Problem", most commonly assciated with water exposure.
Before opening and during any repair on the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone must be OFF or you risk more damage to your iPhone.
10% cause is due to faulty LCD Display, to determine test your LCD Display on another iPhone 3GS or try a new LCD Display on your iPhone. If your LCD is fine, then next step.
80% cause is due to 6r8 Coil on Logic Board. This 1 dollar part must be carefully removed and replaced (soldered) to Logic Board. If still No Backlight Problem, then next step.
10% cause is due to any number of Logic Board problems between the 6r8 coil and the #1 Connector on the Logic Board.

IPad 2 screen has just went all fuzzy and is moving as well as being unclear

iPad screen has just went all fuzzy is moving and unclear, very hard to use

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

My new apple ipad 2 screen jumping all over the place and adding extra letters to stuff

My ipad won't let me sign into my itunes account because it keeps adding extra letters to my username and password making them invalid also when I try to use apps it jumps between screens and loads different apps and pages by its self.

Resetting, rebooting, same thing really. Hold down the home key (the circular one on the bottom front) and the sleep key (the power button on the upper right edge) together for about 20 seconds. You'll see the screen go black then a silver apple. Once you see the silver apple, release the buttons and let it reboot. See if that helps.

When uploading photos from my PC to IPad, it gets to the very last stage and then just stops synching. I've tried multiple times and even from scratch, but same unsuccessful result. Very frustrating and not sure what I'm doing wrong.

When synching my photo library (selected folders) to my IPad, it reaches the last (6th) step and then I see the folders appear on my IPad for a brief moment, but then the synch stops and the photos failed to upload. What's the deal? After 6 attempts, I give up. THis should not be that difficult and I've spent way too much time trying to figure this out. Makes me want to throw out my 1st generation IPad and go with another tablet manufacturer. Anyone who has experiened this or knows how to remedy would appreciate hearing from you.
Tx

Never have this problem. That's just weird. Maybe there's something wrong with one of the photos?
Try viewing those photos with quicktime first?
