New iPad 3rd Generation display not coming on.

I have had this issue twice now and can't find a solution.  The first time my display went out I couldn't get any response by holding down the power and home button so I restored it from itunes to factory settings.  That did nothing until miraculously a power and home reset somehow brought my Apple logo up and the device was functioning again.  A week later now and the same issue has arose.  Except this time I haven't been able to get the display back on.  I repeated my steps of restoring it from itunes and trying a home and power button reset.  The strange thing is that I can plug the ipad into the wall or my computer and it makes the charging ring to let me know I am plugged to a power source about every 15 to 30 seconds.  Also if I keep pressing the power button every once in a while I will hear the screen off click noise.  Any suggestions on fixes or anyone else having the same issue. 
Just to re-iterate I know about holding the power and home button down for 10 seconds to reset the device.  That does nothing.  You can kind of see the screen turn on a different shade of black every once in a while.
Any help would be great,
Adam

  • My new iPad (3rd generation) will not remember wi-fi passwords. It is set up to ask to join networks. It remembers my password at home but forgets all others if it disconnects for more than a few minutes. Frustrating!

  • New iPad (3rd Generation) Pre-Order info.

    I pre-ordered a new Apple iPad (3rd generation) 64 GB Wifi+4G LTE yesterday on March 6, 2012. The conformation email I received from Apple said that it would be delivered on March 16, 2012. Is this the true date that my new iPad will be delivered, or is this just the date that it will ship from Apple? Does anyone have any insight on this delivery date question?

    I was asking the question because the new iPad 3rd generation is not available for sale until March 16, 2012. The delivery date message on the conformation screen wasn't clear as to when it would be delivered, basically stating the delivery estimate. Not that it's a huge concern, it's that I've never pre-ordered anything from Apple before, and since the product itself won't be available to purchase on the market until March 16, I was simply inquiring as to the exact delivery date being the same date the product being available for sale. I know when I ordered my iPad 2 online on the Apple store, it took about 8 business days from the shipping conformation email I received, and the delivery of the iPad 2. Has anyone else pre-ordered the new iPad 3rd generation online from the Apple store, and have an estimated delivery date of March 16, 2012?

  • IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

    iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.  It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on.  I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects.  The wi-fi has no security.

  • What's the best cover for the new iPad (3rd generation).  I've been told by a store employee (university bookstore) that there are problems with the magnetic covers on the newest iPad. Suggestions?

    What's the best cover for the new iPad (3rd generation).  I've been told by a store employee (university bookstore) that there are problems with the magnetic covers on the newest iPad. Suggestions?

    The best cover is the one that suites your needs. Try Google. There are dozens on the market.
    As for the Apple Smart Cover, it does work with the new iPad. There are a few reported issues with it, but that doesn't come close to representing the totality of folks with it.

  • My Ipad (3rd generation) will not back up to iCloud

    My iPad (3rd generation) has not backed up since Sept. 14. I have the latest iOS 8.1.3. It starts but ends abruptly. Any suggestions?

    Howdy gigi40,
    If I understand you correctly you can tap the "Back Up Now" and it appears to start, but it then stops and nothing happens. I would start by quitting the Settings app on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
     Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Why is my New iPad 3rd generation run out of battery fast and it takes 10 hrs to be fully charge?

    Why is my New Ipad 3rd generation run out of battery so fast and it takes 10 hrs to fully charge

    How fast is "so fast."

  • I brought a new ipad (3rd generation), the problem i am having is with itunes. i downloaded a television series onto my ipad, i did not know that it would try to download it all at one time. my question is how do i change the way my ipad loads.

    As I stated in the title, I purchased an ipad (3rd generation), and I am having trouble with itunes downloads. Mistakenly when I purchased a television series I selected download the entire series to my ipad. Is there a way to stop this download and change the download location to either my laptop or into the cloud?

    Did you try tapping on the download to bring up a pause status? You can finish the download on the computer in iTunes. You may be able to delete the download by swiping across the progress bar of the download after you finish the download on the computer.
    Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the download in iTunes and then try to delete the download from the iPad.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the 3G on the new iPad 3rd generation?

    I took my SIM from my iPad One (where it works perfectly) and transferred to my new iPad Third Generation, but even though it shows a full signal the speed of the 3G is very, very slow. Most web pages never finish loading. I contacted Apple and they say it's a hardware fault, and are sending me a replacement iPad. I wondered if anyone else was experiencing this issue?

    If you believe that your device has a defect or malfunction, contact Apple now.  This forum is not for taking polls.  Contact Apple for support options.

  • What screen protector and case will you be buying for your new ipad (3rd generation)?

    Hello!
    I'd like to know what types of cases people will be buying for their new ipad this coming Friday as well as what type of screen protector/body guard you'd recommend. 
    I've been looking online trying to find places that would be able to ship before Friday, but I'm not sure which one to go with, there's too many options!  I'm definitely interested in a leather folio case though.
    I've also been wondering what type of screen protector to put on.  I've seen the iVisor anti-glare, and I really like how it works, but seriously... anti-glare on a retina display?  I don't know... any thoughts on that or suggestions?  I'd greatly appreciate it!!
    Thanks!

    I had an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad 2 and it degraded the quality of the screen so much I removed it. I have a clear skin on the back, which I like. It prevents scratches to the aluminum back and provides a gripping surface to hold on to. The iPad itself was slippery so that extra grip factor helps me. I use a smart cover for the front, because I like the features it has and the quick removability when docking the iPad. I also like that it automatically sleeps and wakes the iPad thereby conserving power. I chose the polyurethane smart cover because I had heard many issues with the leather covers fading/losing color and I couldn't justify the $30.00 dollar difference in price. I dock my iPad into an iHome theater device regularly, so using a portfolio type case would be too cumbersome to deal with. I do think portfolio cases or the otter box cases provide more protection, but they add more bulk to the iPad than I care to deal with. In the end it comes down to personal preference based on your particular needs. The items I have listed and the reasons for them fit my needs, I'm sure others will have different configurations that are specific to their needs. Hope this helps,
    Bob

  • Ipad 3rd generation does not seem to handle photos very well.  I have a ipad 2nd and iphone 4s, and they both are able to handle photos that my Ipad 3rd can not.

    So here is my experience.  When I first aquired the IPAD 3rd, I did the normal sync with Itunes (windows) and found that very few of my photos came over.  Even though these were the same photos that are on my IPAD 2nd. Same for my phone 4s.  After much consternation, I was able to get photos on the IPAD 3rd, by identifying photos which could not be synced.  These "problem" photos sync fine with my ipad 2nd and iphone 4s.   There is also another issue with IPAD 3rd.  There are photos that take 5-10 seconds or so to "focus".  Even though the focus issue is not apparent on my other devices (ipad 2nd, iphone 4s and windows computer).   The other related issue is with the sync. process.  Syncing photos will quit the entire sync. operation when it encounters a problem photo (with no errors), rather then skipping the bad photo and moving on.  I analyzed some of the problem photos and could not identify any single issue - there are all a little different.  For example one was the result of changing the format options from optimized to standard... but this was not always the case. Others were chaning the format from "Exif JPEG" to "JPEG". while others I could not ever get to sync. In all cases I did a save as using various options.    However, the bottom line was that all of these same photos sync fine and view fine on my ipad 2nd and iphone 4s.   I have not yet figured out what is causing the issues with focus delays.   I use an olympus pen camera (12 meg resolution).

    This works!
    go to settings> general>restrictions>privacy and allow changes.  Make sure that your camera is on under allow!
