My iPad screen became green & noisy occasionally

I brought my iPad 64GB form US apple store last month during my business trip. After 5-6 weeks usage, my screen became green & noisy occasionally. Now i am back to Taiwan Taipei, and can't find local service here.

Can anyone help to repair my iPad?
Best regards,
David

I ran into the same problem. I bought my 64G iPad in the U.S. on May 24th, took it back to Shanghai, China where I currently live, and on Saturday, June 12 had the screen go green. After doing some googling, I find that several other 64G iPad owners had the same problem.
I am shipping my iPad back to a colleague in the U.S. who offered to take it back to the Apple Store and have them repair or replace. He plans to come to our office in Shanghai late this month so I am thankful to have this as an option. This is my first Apple product and I have to say is very disappointing.
My only recommendation is to ship to a colleague or friend in the U.S., have them take it to the Apple Store, then ship back to you a replacement or repaired iPad. Fortunately Apple does not require you to be the one bringing it back.

After downloading an app and later trying to open the app, the iPad screen turns green and nothing happens

After downloading an app, then later trying to open it again, the iPad screen turns green and nothing happens. How can I fix this?

My iPad screen is green

My iPad screen is green, this is the second time in two months. Do I need to take it back. I've had it 9 months?

There is no need to bang or drop the iPad!! Read this solution. Read the whole thing.
If your iPad is still under warranty, I have heard that Apple will simply exchange it for you. That is not necessarily an ideal option, as many people do not want to have to bother with transfering all of their files to a brand new device.
My problem, however, was that my iPad was no longer under warranty when this occurred. I was so sad, because the warranty is supposed to be for a year. My mother bought it for me as a gift last Christmas, so it had not even been out of the box for a whole year when this happened. Nevertheless, since my mother bought it in October, the warranty had *just* expired, since they go technically by the purchase date.
Apple offered to fix it for me for $300!!!! A ridiculous price for a loose wire inside. I simply am not in a position to spend that kind of money, and if I was, why not get a new device at that price (NON-Apple!). I was very upset, but I didn't give up on it. I scoured the Internet for an affordable solution, I found one, and it worked!!
The problem is caused by a loose cable on the inside, simple as that (can you imagine they ask $300 for the fix!! After all I have invested in the App store, and buying the Apple keyboard to boot!!!).
The fix I found is simple, I did it, and it worked for me. It is the same repair a professional would do in this situation.
The following video demonstrates how to open your iPad. Warning! This is a do-at-your-own-risk solution! But I found it quite easy. Watch the video (which actually demonstrates the entire process of replacing the screen),
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MG5HhdeP_VY
Obviously, for our issue, you will not remove your screen. Simply disconnect the two cables as shown in the video, and reconnect them!! Simple as that! Then just reassemble it according to the video.
I purchased the prying tool and screw driver and latches from sw-box.com -- for under $20. I think it comes from Hong Kong, but it only took 8 days to get to me in TX, USA.
I hope this helps someone else.

My ipad screen turned green and pink

my ipad screen turd green and pink help me plssssss.
i restart my ipad2 it dosen't work

Hey jedivan27,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having display issues with your iPad 2 and you have already attempted to restart it. To completely isolate the issue, let's try resetting your device as well:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue persists after a reset, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

IPad Screen problem green and fuzzy

I was happy with my Ipad going online and reading books for hours a day until recently when I turned it on! The screen is greenish and fuzzy like when you have a bad reception on a tv with an analog signal... please help! I have no access to a genius bar as I'm living in Dubai, I had mine shipped here from the online store.

Big thank you to you and BoboWoodyo. Anyone having a problem with their screen looking like an old analog tv who's rabbit ears needed to be adjusted (or worse) should try tapping the upper right edge with their hand a few times before doing anything else. Such an easy fix-who'd of thought? Obviously not me and just as obviously, it is most likely a hardware glitch. I wish I had found this solution at the beginning of my day and not the end. I have a well loved, well used 1st gen Ipad. I had tried all solutions found on this page plus others....hard reboot several times, reset thru itunes, different usb cord, etc. and nothing worked. I had an unreadable screen. My last resort was a clean factory reset found using clear, precise directions from ipadforums.net I know this was successful because of the on-screen itune messages I was getting but at the end of it all, I still could not read my ipad screen. I walked away and had a pity party . I decided to do one more search for a possible solution and happened upon this page. 3 taps was all it took - a beautiful, clear, readable screen again. No apps, no music, no photos, no books, no magazines but it works again so I'm just going to hold on to that happy thought for right now.

HT4061 my i pad screen turn green

my Ipad screen turn green..What do I do?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When upgrading iPad screen turned white, why?

When prompted to upgrade the operating system on my iPad, during the upgrade the iPad screen became white. I connected to iTunes & received the message "detected ipad in recovery mode, must restore ipad". I clicked "restore & update". I then received error message tht ipad could not be restored - unknown error occurred (37). What do I do?

Same Frickin Problem let me elaborate. My Ipod Touch Will Work After I Hit the Power button about 50 to 60 times. Sometimes it takes over a hundred times hitting the button. turning it on and off over and over again. I'm thinking this may be a problem with the boot sector but Idk. The white screen comes on everytime. a Couple of times it'll come on. and works just fine until it goes into power saving mode. Is this what's happening to you? If so Then Apple needs to release an update to the firmware to try and fix it. because I can't even restore the current software. Version 4.3.3
Someone Help!

My ipad screen is shimmering green and pixelated. What's happening

My ipad screen is shimmering and pixelated. I've tried restarting and restoring from backup. Everything still seems to work, but the screen looks shimmery and pixelated. How do I fix this?

I have an old iPad 3 that has taken a beating, and the screen occasionally shifts colors (blue, green, or red). It would look about like this:
http://ipadhelp.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ipad-screen-colour-problem-620x40 0.jpg
This is going to sound dumb, but this always fixes it for me:
Lay the ipad flat on your lap, open your hand, and with fingers spread, gently but firmly smack the screen of the iPad. I sometimes have to do it 3-5 times (mostly because I'm afraid to hit it too hard!), but it consistently resolves the problem for me.

The screen of my iphone5 became green!

Dear Apple team,
The screen of my iphone5 became green last week for no reason, then I went to SENAO INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD. in Taiwan, because I got my iphone5 Dec 21, 2012, I thought my phone still in the warranty. In Apple’s policy, I could get a normal phone back. Unfortunately, I just bring my broken home, that’s why I wrote this letter…
Employee of SENAO INTERNATIONAL CO. said he open my phone then found it affect by damp. If I want to get a normal iphone5, they will charge me $8,350(about USD 280). But my earphone jack didn’t change any color, and I never let my phone jump into any liquid, even never ever let it fell down to the ground. The only reason to make my phone damp is my hand, I born with “Palmar hyperhidrosis”, my hand often sweat, it truly made my life inconvenient. But this time is the most sorrowful, after I told SENAO my situation, asked if I need to wear gloves when I used my phone, then just said I should know iphone is not waterproof before I bought, even suggest I bought a waterproof phone next time!!!!! In conclusion, they still determine it’s a man-made fault.
I asked them help me to tell Apple my situation, or give me the way to connect Apple, they said Apple always so tough, Apple won’t care about what the true is, if apple see the phone damp inside then it’s man-made fault. By the way, they said they don’t have any way to connect Apple, it’s a little bit ridiculous. My heart was broken from this case I meet, I decided to solve it by myself.
Deep in my heart, I love Apple, the company always put costumers in the first place. I still remember when I was a student, I envy my classmates have Apple products, my parents are very frugality, so I never ask them buy Apple products for me. After I graduated from school, I enter into an accounting firm, I used almost 2/3 of my salary per month to buy my first smart phone, that phone is iphone4S, I tried so hard to book 4S, then I got it Dec 16 2012, the first day 4S start sell in Taiwan, I also got iphone5 in the first week It start to sell here. I bought the new IPAD for my mom as her retirement gift, taught her how to use Apple products, let her knew I didn’t waste money to buy something expensive and useless, I show my parents how these amazing products changing our life. I didn’t tell them I couldn’t change a normal phone back, I just said I have no time went to SENAO.
But now I am so confused and helpless, I know maybe I’m just one of apple fan in whole world, maybe this letter won’t be read, I don’t know whether this letter take any effect or not. I don’t know why I ran into this before my 25th birthday in June 11, I am so unlucky :c
I look forward to hearing from you at your earlist convenience.
Sincerely,

There has never been a facetime icon on the homescreen of iphones. You hav always accessed the feature via contacts.
Have you tried the basics from the manual? restart, reset, restore
Do you have restrictions on?

IPad: After some minutes of playing a video screen turns green

Need much more information than this. What kind of movie? Is it from iTunes or a legitimate provider of movies? Or is it something else?

I've added songs and vedios to iTunes in my computer then I synchronise it with my iPad the problem came to the video that I couldn't show the videos and the screen became black

I've added songs and vedios to iTunes in my computer then I synchronise it with my Ipad3 ..... For the songs it was OK but for the vedios I got a message that some format are not supported then the screen became black with no video or sound ....how can I get back the vedios...I'm afraid to make reset to the iPad otherwise I'll loose all the applications and media.. Any ideas please .... Thanks

First of all - depending upon how you define resetting the iPad - you will not lose anything. If you erase all contents and settings - then you will lose everything. Don't do that!
If the videos are not in the correct format - launch iTunes on your computer. Click on one of the videos in your iTunes library in order to select it. Then go to Advanced>Create iPad or Apple TV version and see if the video will convert. Do the same for the other videos and then select those to sync again with the iPad.
To get the videos app working again, first quit it completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If the videos app still doesn't work, try this.
Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. when the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

I dropped my ipad 2 and now screen is green

I dropped my ipad 2 and now screen is green. ipad 2 Wi-Fi 16GB.

I dropped my iPad today and immediately the screen was completely distorted. Colors changed, images fuzzy, slow as can be, very hard to turn off or turn on. I googled my problem and came to the https://discussions.apple.com site to read what I should do. Not surprisingly, other people had this same problem. What is INCREDIBLE is the way they suggested to resolve it. I was hesitant at first but since SEVERAL people all said that it worked, I figured to give it a try. A few people suggested SLAPPING THE BACK OF THE IPAD, NOT GENTLY, BUT FIRMLY. A few good slaps and it looked a bit better. Then my husband decided to DROP THE IPAD FROM ABOUT 2 FEET IN THE AIR ONTO THE CARPET, in a totally horizontal position. THE SCREEN IS NOW PERFECT!!
For the last 2 or three weeks, the iPad has been very slow to load my apps, turning on and shutting down. AS SOON AS I DROPPED THE IPAD, as described above, THE IPAD IS FAST, FAST, FAST.
I know, it sounds ridiculous that this should work, but it did. I am certain that an Apple techie would never suggest this as a solution, but I swear to you, this has worked.

Baby dropped ipad n now the screen is green? what does tht mean??

my kid dropped ipad and now the screen is green, like the home screen...i tried to turn it off then on, and the green came on, so now i can see the apps but the green hues are still there?

Try resetting the device ( hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears). If that does not help, it is damaged. Take it in for diagnosis.

Does iMovie for iPad 2 have green screen?

Does iPad 2 have green screen for iMovie?

By green screen I assume you're refering to chroma keying?
If so, then no.
