My iPad works, but screen is always shaded. Apps work, Safari works, just hard to see everything.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Did this just happen? Or was this the way your screen appeared right out of the box? And also, just like Skydiver119 just said, you may want to check to see if the brightness settings were accidentally tinkered with. Something as easily as flicking up the control center and pressing the brightness levels accidentally may have occurred.

  • I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

    I bought a new ipad air but when i install the apps , all of them are gone , but i app store still are and says you can open it. But it can not open.

    The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
    This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
    Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
    I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
    I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.

  • Ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    ipad2 plus ipad air all of a sudden instantly goes back to home screen.doesnt matter what app i am using just when it decides to do it it does.apple tech has no answer or fix for me does anybody have any idea what is wrong

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Could also be not enough free space for the iPad to operate efficiently. With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. For a 32 GB device that is 4.8-6.4 GB free. For a 64 GB device that is 9.6-12.8 GB free.
    If neither of these suggestions helps, Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Could you please help

    I just updated my ipad2 to ios7 0.2 latest update, but when I go to apps store to upgrade I don't see the upgrade button besides each app, nor when I go in for new apps I don't see free button to download new apps. Is there any setting that missed ?  please help...

    What do you see instead of update on the apps you are concerned about?
    When updating to iOS 7 auto update for apps will be turned on. When an app has an update available your iPad will download and install the update with no input from you. Apps that have been updated by this automatic process but which have not yet been opened will show a blue dot before their name.
    A record of updated apps is kept for your convenience. You can see this record by using the App Store app and select Updates, the right most choice in the bottom row.

  • Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari?

    Why is my iPad opening website links using the Google App not Safari? Everything was fine until two days ago when it started opening them with Google App. I tried uninstalling Google but nothing has changed. It would not bother me at all but it takes Google a lifetime to open them where as Safari used to do it in a matter of seconds. I own an iPad Air, iOS 7.1.2.

    How is it opening a website with the Google App if you uninstalled it?
    Are you sure its the Google App, and not simply Safari opening in a Google search?
    What exactly is happening?
    Basically there is no way to change the default browser for opening links. 
    However, some apps like The Gmail App will open links within themselves or Chrome if it is installed and the option is enabled in the Gmail App settings.

  • IPad's home screen is always black

    My iPad's home screen wallpaper is always just black! I tried changing the wallpaper but it didn't work. Any solutions?

    Try to Reset your device:
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

  • I'm charging my iPad. But everytime it goes to turn on it will just turn off right away. This has been going on for two hours now. What do I do?

    I'm charging my iPad. But everytime it goes to turn on it immediately shuts off. This has been going on for two hours. What do I do?

    First, 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.
    If yes, it may not be charging properly. Be sure you are using the charger that came with the iPad. The iPad 2 requires a 10W charger. If you are using a different charger, including the one that came with an iPhone, it will charge very slowly if at all.
    Also try charging a different device with the charger to be sure it and the cable are working properly.

  • Is there a way to blow up screens no matter what app I'm in so I can see

    I recently suffered a mini stroke and it effected my eye sight so now I cannot read small print even with my reading glasses. On the iPad, I can blow up the screen in most cases but some apps like Facebook I cannot allow you to blow up the screen. Is there any way to blow up the screen no matter what app I'm in??
    Also, kind of related to not being able to see...I recently discovered iTunes Radio. I was going thru and adding playlists to my stuff. Seemed easy enough. Until I reopened it today and I see "purchased" next to the only one listed playlist there. Now, I picked about 5 or 6 from their list of recommended list and did not once see anywhere where I was going to be charged. Now mind you my eye sight is messed up but what happened to the little box that would pop up and ask you if you were sure you wanted to make this purchase?? How can I get that back?
    And, finally, since I've made this purchase unknowingly, to an account that has no money in it, how do I change my billing info with Apple?
    Sorry so long, just been having a bad year. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!!
    God Bless and have a Great Day!!!

  • Ask your question.I installed the app" Find my phone for my Ipad. But I also installed that app on my Iphone. but the Iphone app still just shows where my Ipad is located and not the phone, how can I get then both to show location?

    I installed the App" find my Iphone on my Ipad.. its working well.
    But I also need to be able to track my Iphone if lost... I also have the app on my Iphone but when I click on it to find my phone it is showing me where my Ipad is... how can I get it to show my Iphone also? the chances of me losing my Ipad are less then my Iphone.But I need to be able to trac both.

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.

  • How many people would like adobe to create an app where iPad works just like a wacom tablet?

    Honestly, the adobe companion apps for iPad aren't that great. I feel that adobe can do better. They should improve all of them. They have potential, but need work. I have been looking around, and a lot of people have been asking this question, is there anyway to turn your iPad into a Wacom tablet. Well there isn't. You can view it on your iPad using apps like air display, but you can't use it like an art tablet with Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc. I would appreciate anyone's comments, and ideas on this topic. Thank you for your time.

    Hi Bella,
    We are working to launch more applications which can be use on Ipads or tablets. Once we will have the updates we will keep you posted.
    Adobe photoshp Touch can be use on Ipad.
    Please refer the below mention link.

  • HT4623 I am having trouble downloading iBooks onto my iPad. The screen freezes up and it also happens when I want to see all books by a certain author. Please help....all suggestions appreciated!

    What can I do to avoid my screen from freezing when in the iBooks store on my iPad?

    I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
    And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
    And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.
