My ipad air touchscreen has stopped working to touch

My ipad air touchscreen has stopped working and so i can't shut down, or login. How can i resolve this?

Have you tried to give it a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 secones. If you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and see if your touchscreen is working.

  • Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

    Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore.  I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

    Hey dbwithers,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

  • My Apple iphone 5 is less than a year old, meaning it's still under the 12 month warranty. The touchscreen has stopped working and there are lines across my screen. Can I get it replaced for free by booking an appointment in store?

    The rest of my phone is still perfectly operational. I can sync it to my Mac, I can still see my phone screen, meaning I can still see texts and calls coming through, the power button works, I can see my apps and my background, and the circle button at the bottom still works. It's just the touchscreen that isn't working. I can't slide across to answer calls or slide across to turn the phone off. As my phone is still under the 12 month warranty, will they replace my phone in store by booking an appointment at the Genius bar?

    I was taken through some diagnostics over the telephone with an Apple advisor, who asked me to restore the software, back my phone up, etc, which I have done. He couldn't rectify the problem so advised me to take it in. I am booked in this evening to see an Apple advisor in store. I don't know of anything that I have done for this to happen! It was in my pocket on holiday in Portugal and was ok one minute, I took it out of my pocket and the vertical lines were on my phone and the touchscreen had stopped working! I hope I can get it replaced.

  • IPads spotlight search has stopped working

    I have updated to ios5 and the spotlight search was working under ios5 at first but it has suddenly stopped. I can type a word in the search bar but then nothing happens. I have tried a reboot (holding down the home and sleep buttons) and ensured that all the search categories are checked in settings.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    i have the same problem! its very frustrating! Ive done all i can do to fix it, including turning the ipad 2 off, doing a hard reset (rebooting) multiple times, turning off and on all the categories in the spotlight settings menu, and get nothing in return.
    After each reboot, spotlight returns some results for your first search, but then, if you want to search for a second thing, were back at the beginning, meaning, no search results at all. So, if i want to find something using spotlight, i have to turn off the ipad all the way, and then after it starts, use that single chance that i get after it wakes up to search for something. The second time, it just doesnt show anything anymore.
    Suggestions? I have a 32 gig ipad 2, and this started happening after i upgraded to ios5, if that helps.
    Theres no troubleshooting for something like this in the ipad 2 manual....

  • Macbook Air 2010 trackpad stop working when touching case (palm rest)

    My MBA 2010 A1369 had demaged keyboard and trackpad by liquid. I got used whoel top case and replace. (not myself)
    Seller claimed it is ok but we face one problem. when I touch case (palm rest) trackpad stops responding. When on one side partly when with both hands then completely. Even when touching case from side. Even when case is comered by paper. So it strange behavior.
    Both cases were from A1369 model but on mine was black plastic foil over part of keyboard while on other not. So I am not sure there could be some other differences that could cause this.
    Would anybody has any suggestion where could be problem? Wrong contact bad insulation somewhere or faulty trackpad.
    Thanks a lot.
    Frantisek

    I reply by myself. Problem was in trackpad. I tried another one and it is ok now. Previous one probably suffer some liquid demage on sides.

  • My airprint has stopped working. It has work well for several weeks and stopped for no apparent reason.

    I have performed all the abvious checks and cannot find anything wrong or anything that has been changed.  I have consulted several forums and have not found anyone having the same problem.  I have an iPhone4 and an iPad2.  Air print has stopped working for both devices.  I'm guessing it must be something with the printer, which does work very well with everything but airprint.  The printer in a HP Officejet 6500A Plus.

    After some research, I figured out a work around to sovle that problem. On the router, I created a entry for port fowarding, the trggering port and targeting port with 5353. That seems fixed the problem with lost 6500A plus communication with MAC issue. The problem seems related with Banjour service which is utilizing UDP 5353. I did a trace on the router and found most of MAC products, such as MacBook will trigger the 5353 when connected with router, but some how, the 6500A will only trggering 5353 on router initializing, then lost its communication through 5353 aftrer few mins. Don't know why, but the work around seems working fine.
    Hope that give everyone still battling this issue some ideas.

  • ITunes has stopped working when syncing iPad Air.

    Please:  someone help me....
    I am at my wits ends.  I have spent 3 days trying to solve this, without any success.  I have really time better off than sorting stupid software problems.   (Someone had a great rant, so I won't rehearse it - but it seems to me that
    if there is an issues, it should at least give some clear of what the software stops!!).  It seems to me that no one (NO ONE) is owning this problem  There are plenty of people who have the problem, and although some suggestions, it looks to me that
    there are just that - suggestions. 
    I have posted my problem on the Apple forum.  I have not heard.  But it seems to me that we (I) don't even know if it is an iTunes or a Windows problem.  and now I have no idea which way to go....
    Rant two ends.  The problem:
    I have windows 7 SP 1.  iTunes 12.0.1.26.  I can imports CDs and play music.  But when attempting to sync,"iTunes has stopped working". It stops (usually) step 6. No doubt many of people have seen the issue.  I problem have
    not attempting to update since updating iTunes 12.  (On the side, I have not been able to update iTunes without deleting and reinstalling it for some.  Accordingly, I update with some concern, and only updated to 12 because I installed a new (different
    laptop), and wanted to keep the same levels.
    The steps I tried
    Sync iPad Air (iOS 8.1).  Failed.
    Tried to sync iPhone 5S.  It stopped.  I then looked through the apps etc in the phone.  I noticed, that my photos were not being synced (I had an issue with memory issue some months ago - now sorted - and so checked resynced them.  
    Tried again, and worked.  Hmmm.  (iPhone is at iOS 8.1)
    Made changes with the apps etc on the iPad to recreate the same good result.  No success.
    I deleted iTunes etc (in the correct order) and reinstalled.  No success.  tried a number of times.  (one of the definitions stupid  is to try the same steps expecting a different result)
    Searched google, apple and microsoft pages.  Read them all.  No one seems to have a clear answer to the problem, let alone the solution.
    Backed up iPad, and restored iPad.  No success - and now, of course the thing is now in a totally uncertain state.  It won't ask for sync, but if iTunes starts, the iPad carries on.
    Deleted and reinstalled iTunes etc.  No success.  Tried again (and again? - I have lost track)
    Someone suggested going back to iTunes 11.4.  Tried that (once sorted out the library files have been changed).  Now, same result.  (it all worked happily previously)
    Tried a hard reset on the iPad.  No luck
    Discovered one post suggest that QuickTime may be a problem.  Deleted iTunes and Quick Time.  Reinstalled iTunes.  No success.
    Discovered turingtest's post "Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows" .  Followed the steps, including deleting the folders (only Program Files (x86)/common files/apple were there) and turned off AVG.  Same bad result.
    Status:
    I am thoroughly out of sorts.  And it is Tax time, which will not improve my temper.
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 installed. iCloud installed
    windows 7 SP1.  The PC is not asking for any updates.
    Qucktime not installed
    iOS 8.1.2
    iPad is probably useless, until problem solved - not all photos or apps downloaded
    HELP!!
    iPad Air, iOS 8.1.2, Windows 7

    Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
    There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
    Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
    Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?

  • TS2634 My iPad Charger has stopped working after plugging into MacBook Air?

    Hello there,
    I have owned my iPad Mini for about 2 months now, and the charger has stopped working. It sometimes works on my MacBook Air, but often I get a popup on my computer saying, "To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again." I have tried plugging my iPad into a wall charger, but it still does not charge. There is a small hole and the first part of the cable from the iPad is a bit twisted. Is there any way of fixing this, or do I have to buy another?

    Computer USB ports often do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. The best way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad.
    Sounds like your cable is damaged too and needs to be replaced. My suggestion would be to buy two so that you have a backup. If your iPad has a lightning connector be sure to buy a name brand cable, either Apple or another well known brand. Do not buy cheap knockoff cables on eBay and they may not be certified to work with an iPad and you'll get an error message about that when you try to use them.

  • My microphone has stopped working on my ipad 2 16GB 3G.  How do I get it to start working again?

    I am not sure when it happened but my microphone has stopped working on my ipad 2.  I downloaded an application from the App Store called Starmaker for my daughter.  When she tried to follow the start up instructions, she could not make a demo recording as there is no sound.
    My daughter and I have used the recording/sound facility before as, when away from, I have used Skype and my daughter has used the talking animal apps.
    I have tried a hard reset and tried to clear the microphone by blowing on it and using the hoover attachment to clear it but unfortunately there has been no difference. 
    I would be grateful for any advice you have to clear this problem, so I can have the full use of my ipad again.
    Thank you.

    If you have a passcode on the device and you don't know it, then thats another issue. For that, the ipad will need to be restored. This may or may not also resolve your mic issue.
    You didn't say wether or not the mic fails with just this one app, or with facetime and skype as well.
    Try this audio recording app if needed to test further
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/audio-memos-free-voice-recorder/id304075033?mt=8
    I'd stay away from using anything like a vaccuum on the ipad, but clean air might work
    Try backing up the ipad to both icloud and itunes first.

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • My iPad 2 home button has stopped working I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the button, I have tried holding the off button then the home button and I was told I could create my own home button in the settings but I can't!

    My iPad 2 home button has stopped working all together, I have tried the swivel from landscape to portrait whilst holding the home button, I've tried pressing the off switch then pressing the home button, the other thing I was advised to do was create a home button in the settings under the accessibility option but I don't have the option I was advised to use under there! Help! It's really frustrating having to turn the device off everytim I want to switch apps and I really can't afford to send it away to be mended! Many thanks in advance

    The accessibilty setting that was mentioned is:
    * Enable AssistiveTouch
    Enable AssistiveTouch which floats a virtual button on-screen which can mimic all hardware buttons on the device:
    Settings>General>Accessibility>AssistiveTouch: turn ON
    *Note* If you power off the device using the AssistiveTouch panel (tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button, Device>Lock Screen (tap and hold to power off)), you will NOT be able to power on the device *if your Sleep/Wake (power) button is not functioning*. You will need to connect the powered off device either to a PC's USB port or an external charger to power the device back on.

  • A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

    A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working.  When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
    I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference.  I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
    Any thoughts about what might be wrong? 

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!
