New ipad blue hue (ipad 3)

Has anyone noticed on the New ipad screen blue hue around the edges especially when there is a white background? If you look closely you can see A light blue color especially on the top and the bottom of the screen against a white background ? is this normal?

You cannot tell for sure. Nobody can.
If your judgment is based on stats, then I guess you will find out that there're not so many users out there posting on a forum complaining about such a "defect", simply because either they've already asked for a replacement or they're happy with their device in first place. This is not a "huge" defect like dead pixels, color tints or blotchy dark patches for which you can find many discussions on this forum. So, if this is the case, you would probably keep asking yourself "am I the unlucky one?" forever, thus please do yourself a favor and ask for a replacement.
Otherwise please consider this example: if I ask my father to look at my iPad's display he says he can't see the "defect". My girlfriend can. The iPad is the same so who's right and who's wrong?
My point is that you have to decide.
Basing on my own experience (I did it 4 times with the iMac), it's not worth trying to replace the iPad hoping to receive a "perfect" one: maybe you're lucky and would get a better one or maybe not. The fact is that replacement units are usually refurbished products that means you're going to get the device someone else has returned (properly inspected and cleaned by Apple, of course). Thus the highest chance of getting a good one is the one you already had buying your brand new unit. If you're still within the 14 days of "grace period" you can ask for a refund a buy a new one and this is probably the best option, otherwise follow my suggestion: keep it and enjoy your iPad, it's awesome!

  • Brand new iPad 3 Blue Screen

    I just bought a new iPad 3 and when I got home, turned it on, it blue screened. The screen is dark blue and I can't do anything. Should I bring it back or contact Apple? I bought it from tesco.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

  • Purchased new iPad 4th generation, screen has warm yellowish hue to it.

    I just received my brand new iPad 4th generation, when I compare the screen to my current 3rd generation there is a def yellowish warm tint to the new ipads screen.
    I probably wouldn't even have noticed it if I did have them both side by side for comparison.
    I have included a couple of photos for you guys to see!
    You can tell me which one you think looks 'wrong'
    My question is basically will the screen tint change gradually over time???
    Or should i swap it for a new one?
    The tint is over the entire screen.
    Many thanks...

    Any ideas?

  • A few questions about common "issues" before buying New iPad

    I am hoping to pick up the new iPad in the next few weeks, however I have read up on some issues which I'd like some information on.
    I have been using my GF's iPad 2 a lot and I really love it, however I am dead set on buying the new one, I have become pretty resolution-spoilt by the awesome screen on the 4S and this is the primary factor in wanting this new model.
    With the following concerns, assuming that an iPad that I may buy might have one or more of them, could you please inform me of: any currently known official or unofficial fix, if the problem could most likely be resolved in an update or if it is likely that since the problem came to light that the later runs to be built were adjusted to avoid the problem? Thanks.
    OK- first up, the bad wifi problem that people have. This is the biggest concern to me, as I use wifi a lot and won't have access to 4G, and only occasionaly access to 3G.
    Secondly, the heating... OK this is not a deal breaker, I understand that it isn't a real problem however if it could be solved so that it runs almost as cool as the 2 that would be great.
    Thirdly, charge times and the extra hour over 100%... Again I do realise that these aren't so much issues as just the way that it works, however I would hope that now lots of people have complained, an update would adjust the display to be more accurate, to say 100% only when it has fully charged, purely because I would rather know... Or perhaps have 100% change colour on absolute 100%. The other thing, 7 hours charging, is there a more powerful adaptor that 1: reduces the charge time, and 2: if you are using a powerdrinking app while charging, will actualy continue charging rather than just slowing the battery drain (I read that some apps will keep draining battery while on charge).
    finaly, I have read about screen hue problems, this wont be too much of a problem, as I will be able to check this in store to be sure that the screen is nice, colour balanced and free of dead pixels, I will compare it to my GFs iPad 2 and also the iPhone 4, because I know that the iPad 2 is supposed to look a little more blue to give it a cold feel, while the new model and the iPhone 4S have a slightly yellowed screen for warmth, it's just that lots of people have complained about theres' being too yellow.
    Thanks very much for any useful info on this.

    A lot of the posts about lack of charging is because iPad "3" users are trying to use an iPod charger, iPhone charger or connected to their computer where they get the "Not Charging" indication. A few others had a defective charger that was replaced by Apple. It remotely possible that a few iPads have defective batteries or charging circuits.
    Many of the wifi connection problems are related to the users brand of wireless routers, the router setup, or the need to select a different wireless channel due to interference.
    The high temp problem seems to be when users are charging AND running games with intensive graphics. The display on the new iPad takes a lot more power than the iPad 2 display.
    Overall I would guess that the chance of a defective iPad is less than 1%.

  • TS1398 Very weak WIFI on my new iPad MD511LL. Tried Apple suggestion, but they didn't work. Signal is variable from zero to two - never shows three 'bars' even on stronger wifi system. Could this unit be defective?

    Just bought it last week. Have synced it with my main computer. It gets WIFI most of the time, but the signal never goes above two bars (curves) even when I'm in a strong WIFI area. Rest of the time it varies between zero bars (no service) to two bars - slow, slow, slow.
    Already did the recommended shutdown and the WIFI on and off suggestions made by Apple. Already compared to other equipment, which receive a solid, strong three bars at all the same locations. Since this is the WIFI only model,quite alarmed at the problem. I need the WIFI to be able to pick up the signals better.
    Could this be an antenna problem?? Behaves this way even when not in any case.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)

  • New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network

    I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
    They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
    I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
    The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
    I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
    I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
    As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
    Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?

  • New iPad - Wi Fi does not work

    My new iPad was delivered today.
    I connected it to my home wireless network. The connection seemed to work without a hitch. It says I am connected. It says that the signal strength is very strong.
    Nothing works.
    No internet, no mail.
    I updated the software. That didn't help.
    I read something about turning off auto brightness. That seems awful strange, but it didn't help anyway.
    It keeps asking me to set up a Cellular Data Account. I should not need such an account at home on my Wi-Fi, or so I would assume.
    It is a very frustrating first day with this thing. I was excited to see it when I got home, and I have had nothing but frustration with a device that serves only as a paperweight.
    Message was edited by: Alonzo Fyfe

    I assume that the iPad you have got is the 3G & wifi version.
    Has I only have the wifi version I can't be 100 percent, but maybe part of the setup process for the 3G version is that you have to set up a cellular account. Have you tried setting up a cellular account and then seeing if you can connect via wifi? As I expect you would be doing this anyway with getting the 3G version iPad.
    If you don't want to setup a cellular account at this time, there should be an option to turn off the cellular data on the iPad.
    On looking on my iPhone 4, the option on this is in:
    Settings/general/network, I now see an option to turn cellular data on or off, I expect that you should see something similar on your iPad. Try switching it off and then see if you can connect via wifi.
    If not then go into settings, when you see the name of the wifi network that you are connected to, touch the the little blue arrow that is pointing to the right, next choose FORGET NETWORK. Now try and connect again to your wifi network, entering any network key that is required.
    Hope this helps

  • My new iPad Mini seems to time-out the WiFi connection?

    I've had an iPad One for a year or two and recently bought iPad Minis for myself and the SO. It's happened quite a few times now that I can be using the WiFi connection, and set the iPad aside for a few minutes, and when I come-back to it the WiFi connection is gone (the icon goes away at the top-left of the screen). I have to then go to Settings Wifi and select my connection again. I don't recall this ever happening with the iPad 1.
    I don't see any specific setting for "turn-off WiFi after x minutes" or whatnot and wonder why the iPad is dropping signal (a very strong signal, a very fast connection in my house). Is there a setting some where that says "turn off WiFi", for example after X minutes to save power or something?
    This is a real annoyance cuz I can be reading an article online and then when I come-back to it I see "no Internet connection" and I have to go to Settings again to re-select my SSID.

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

    My apps will not download on my new ipad mini?  They remain in the "waiting" stage for days.   have tried deleting and re-downloading one by one, but have not had any success.

    I was having the same problem and I tried the following and now everything is working fine:
    Reset Network Settings. Resetting your network settings is a fast, easy way to trouble shoot your WiFi connection issues on your iPad Mini, and also on your iPad and iPhone as well.  Resetting your network settings allows your device to flush out all cache information from your wireless network, DNS and nameserver settings, etc… basically it allows your device to start fresh on your wireless network.Here’s how to reset your network settings on your iPad Mini (iPhone and iPad as well).
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Tap “Settings” icon on your homepage > tap the “General” option > tap on “Reset” > then finally tap on “Reset Network Settings”. Your iPad will restart.
    Renew IP Address.
    Settings > Wifi > Tap the Blue Arrow (right-hand side) next to the network that you connect to
    Click Auto under HTTP Proxy
    Click Renew Lease
    Connect to your selected network
    Try Safari, then YouTube, then try downloading a free app.
    If you still do not have appropriate connectivity after this, take to your local Apple Store/Reseller and test, fix, or replace.

  • I am a new iPad user and cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to pages. Any insight?

    I am a new iPad user. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to a pages document, and vice versa. Any ideas?

    Long press on the text you would like to select (tapping and holding) and then release after the magnifying glass shows up. This will select a single word. Then use the blue dots and drag them to select a region of test. Then press "copy". Open pages, and long press and release where you would like to paste. Then select "paste". That should paste the text.
    If the text doesn't select within the browser, it might be an uncopyable format. Like if the text was within an image, naturally you would be unable to select it. The only thing to do there is long press the image and selecting "save image", adding it to your camera roll. Then you could insert the image within pages.

  • Connecting my new iPads to WiFi

    I'm an educator and my school recently purchased new iPads. Thus far I've had no problem setting them up, that is until yesterday. There are five that will not connect to our WiFi. Our access points are giving off excellent signals yet that will not connect. The only way I can get them to connect temporally is to us a static IP address. They work for a short period of time, but then its back to square one. Does anyone have any suggestions beside sending them back to apple?
    Thank you

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • New iPad Discolored/Tinted Display

    Got the new iPad Firday. The resolution is phenomenal.
    However, I've noticed that holding the tablet in portrait mode, the display graduates subtly in color from left to right, a cooler blue to a warmer red tint. This is uniform from top to bottom.  It is consistent throughout use, either from the moment it is turned on through extended use, in other words it doesn't go away after the device warms up. It does seem to be most pronounced at lower light levels. Full brightness seems to produce a consistent tint across the pad, but I rarely if ever use it at full brightness.
    Obviously the iPad is not supposed to do this. My question is:
    1) has anybody else noticed the discoloration/tint?; and
    2) I recall that previous iPhones and/or iPods, and iPads suffered from something similar, which I believe was attributed to laminates that had not fully dried by the time the devices left the factory, and after a few weeks, the tint went away. Anybody know if this phenomenon has been reported with the new iPad, of if it could be something similar?

    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Brand New iPad Mini WiFi ISSUES

    So I bought my iPad Mini 32gb a week ago and I've been using it eversince with my house's wifi. I recently updated it to iOS 6.1.3 and a couple of days after I started having WiFi issues. So I connect to my wifi and use it as usual, but after 5 minutes of using it the internet stops working eventhough it still shows the 3 bars of internet on the top left corner next to iPad. To fix this I have to turn off my iPad every time. I am trying to see if there is a solution or if I will have to send it to the apple repair center or change it for a new one for 40 bucks. I really need internet on it so please help. ( IT IS URGENT.)

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
