My ipad is a little over 1 year old and screen just went black. It was fully charged. Any ideas?
My ipad just went blank...any ideas on what I can do instead of taking for repairs. It's under 2 years old and was fully charged.
Try resetting ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, try restoring..

I have an ipad mini having a main board over charge issue. It's a little over a year old.
I purchase an iPad mini a little over a year ago. Recently, it seems to over heat to the right of the home button, then the screen goes darker. I turn off, it cools down, turn it on and everything is normal. Unfortunately it's happening more often and the screen darkens when it's hardly even warm, let alone hot. So apparently it's getting worse. This started a little over a week ago
Try this - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

My power button has stopped working - seems to have lost it's 'spring'. My phone is over a year old and out of warrenty - any options? It also seems to be going thru the battery in less than a day which was never the case. Are these two situations related?
I don't know if they are related or not, but I'd take it in to an Apple store. They might be gracious and offer to replace it, or at the least, it may be eligible for an out-of-warranty replacement at a reduced fee (currently $149.00 for the iPhone 4, 3Gs, 3G, and original - you get a refurb as replacement).

HT4623 Why is it taking so long to charge ipad 24 hours and not fully charged any ideas?
This ipad does not fully charge any ideas?
How are you trying to charge it? It's best charged using its supplied power brick plugged into the wall. If you're trying to charge it via USB your results will be mediocre at best since most USB ports don't put out enough power. Same results if you are using an iPhone charger for your iPad.

My macbook pro is just over 2 years old....for the last couple of months it has been running very slowly,the beachball is in permanent residence!
I have been advised I need a new hard drive....after only 2 years I'm not at all impressed. Is this normal?Over a very large sample of drives, these drives are very reliable, despite being moved around inside laptops.
You do not have a very large sample, you have ONE drive. Anything that happens, from having it run for twenty years to having it die on the first day, is within the normal range.
The rapid resolution to your problem IS to replace the drive. At your leisure, you may find that after re-writing every block with Zeroes (a process that can take half a day and has no guarantee of success) enough spare blocks can be found to return the drive to service. Or maybe not. If you are willing to invest the time and energy to do this, you may get a nice backup drive, or you may get a doorstop. No one can predict ahead of time. -
I have an iphone 4s that is over 2 years old. The phone's battery is no longer able to hold a charge for an acceptable length of time. Assuming I need to replace the battery, how much will this cost at an Apple store?

Basically, I'm new to Apple, despite using them before, but I've never actually owned my own.
Since buying this phone off a colleague at work, I seem to be having problems with it. First, I noticed how rubbish the battery life is, then my charger almost went up in flames and thirdly my camera lense is scratched beyond belief.
I know the phone isn't within warranty, although I was lead to believe it was before and during buying it, so basically I'm extremely disappointed with the general make up of iPhone's considering they cost such a **** of a lot of money, you'd think they'd be built to last.
Back to my main point, how much would it cost for a new battery? Or a new camera lense if anyone can help me with that? (I know that the back of the phone was refurbished just before my buying it, so literally just the camera lense)
Thanks!
So basically it sounds like you bought an abused used iPhone and somehow that makes the phone subpar because dispite the abuse it should still last forever and look like new? Batteries don't last forever, even under ideal conditions, so your expectatoins are unrealistic. Take it in and have an estimate done. -
Itunes is not up to date with these series, Revenge series 3 and The Americans 2 & 3, can anyone help were I can stream this to my Mac or ITV please
It is up to the content owner as to when, and if, specific content is available on itunes (or any outlet for that matter). Very often a network or production compnat willhave exclusive deals with streaming outlets for a period of time before a seaon of a series is available elsewhere.
I can't speak to most of the shows you reference, but in the case of The Americans, there has only been one season so far. Season two isn't schedule for broadcast until February of next year. -

Airport extreme suddenly stopped "accepting" password. The signal appears strong -- just will not accept a log on. No changes have been made. It is not the modem. Have replaced the airport with my old linksys and wifi works fine. Is there a way to "reset" it and start over. We've unplugged it (airport) for 30 minutes and still the same result.
To do a factory reset, unplug the Extreme and push in the small round reset button on the back with a straightened paper clip or point of a pen and hold it in while plugging it back in - when the light starts to blink fast, release the button - then wait for the light to blink slowly - this indicates that the factory reset has completed - you can now re-configure the Extreme from scratch.

Can anyone help with the blue screen I just got. Tried to power back up like one Apple user suggested by holding the power and screen button together, came back briefly, then shut down. Now nothing. Any help?
Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

My ipad just died. It was fully charged. Is it the battery?
I can't even turn the thing on. Tried in vain to contact support, but have to pay $29 for a single service question. According to the warranty, they will only replace a battery with 50% or more power. Is it worth the $99 service fee or just buy a replacement battery. Could it be something else?
Did you try a reset?
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 - let go of the buttons. -

Apple Support states this iPad is over 5 years old and they can't advise me. What do I do to get sound out of it?
I presume you mean that you purchased the iPad in August of 2012, since August 2013 hasn't arrived yet. The iPad 2 was only introduced in March of 2011 and is still sold by Apple, so it's most certainly not over five years old. Apple Support apparently and mistakenly thought you were talking about a 2nd-generation iPod touch. The iPad 2 is still eligible for support from Apple. You can confirm warranty here:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
Presuming you've checked the Sounds settings and turned up the volume button and tried multiple apps, try the earphones (or any set of headphones) and see if those work. If they do, the iPad may have a stuck contact in the headphone jack. Inserting and removing the headphones a couple of times may help.
If you get no sound even with headphones, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and synching your apps. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, that should cure it.
If none of that helps, make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple support again and make sure they understand that you're talking about an iPad.

Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100% charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old and don't want to buy a new one if this problem will continue to happen. Help
Do not let the battery drop to 0%. That is very damaging for a lithium based battery, as in the iPad. Charge at any time, for any amount.
