Problems with my Ipad Mini Freezing/black screen/power off randomly

So I got my Ipad Mini about 3 weeks ago, maybe a little longer. I have had the first gen Ipad since it came out and never really had a problem with it. I wanted to the Ipad mini for a long time cause my buddies have it and I have loved it ever since I saw one. I finally got one and it worked great for the first week. I got home and installed all my apps. The usual, Spotify, Skype, Drafts, Sirius XM radio, and some other note-taking and organizational apps. Then everything was going well for the next week and a half just fine. I was listening to Sirius XM Radio on the app and my Ipad died. I looked at the screen and pressed the middle button to try to get the radio to turn back on but it didn't. I tried soft reseting it which didn't work and then I finally hard reset it. That worked, and made me a little nervous, but I thought maybe it was just the app. So I went home and uninstalled it and then re-installed it. Fast forward about another week and a half and I have been having the random shut downs every once in a while and just today I opened the skype App and everything just froze. I got a blue screen just like the Blue Screen of Death that a PC would get, the only difference was there was no error code on the blue screen. It was jsut a solid blue screen. I did a hard reset again and then tried to open another one of my note taking apps because I had pretty important stuff on it. I wanted to copy it down but before I could the Ipad completely froze up again. I hard reset it again and now it won't even get past the black screen with the silver apple logo in the middle.
Is anyone else having this problem? is there any way to fix it? Does anyone have any idea why my Ipad mini is acting like this? I mean this is kind of ridiculous. I am extremely frustrated and dissapointed with how my Ipad mini is performing.

Has the device always behaved this way? Did this start as a result of an update to the iOS software? If the problem is that bad, you should probably restore the iOS software and then restore from a backup. If that fails, restore as new and rebuild the device. If that fails, it's time for a trip to an Apple Store to let them have a look at the iPad.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Hi, guys. I have some problems with my ipad. It has been switched off and it does nor respond on any actions

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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Black screen/turns off random bootcamp windows 7

I have a imac 27" mid 2010 and i am using windows 7 x64 ultimate on bootcamp (3.3 and later 4.0) from snow leopard to lion, i have
recently upgraded my mac with mountain lion.
But after i did upgrade to mountain lion a day later my screen in bootcamp goes black/turns off. I can sometimes hear the sounds when it happens.
The black screen/turn off, is also randomly so its not happening when i do something or opening something. So after a few black-outs i started to get fustrated and i surfed the web for solutions (Option + Alt + P + R), disconnect power cord wait 10 seconds and reconnect, install/uninstall new drivers, reinstalling windows. reinstalling mountain lion and windows but the problem is stil there.
But when using mountain lion i dont have any problems everything works fine.
I think that mountain lion has changed something to the firmware or bios of the system, or changed something to bootcamp?
I really dont know, the only thing i know is i cant use windows as i normally did, and my boss isnt happy when i dont finish my work.
I really need some answers and solutions.
Thanks

Same problem occuring for me, although Windows 7 boots fine in safe mode but when booting in regular mode after the lauch screen it goes black and turns off. Funny thing is that mountain lion didn't seem to be the problem for me instead I believe windows updated it's software for me and then it started happening. Im going to try and reformat partition reinstall windows 7.
oh BTW I'm on Macbook Pro x Retina Display.

Problems with new iPad mini

Brand new Ipad Mini screen is fading, blacking out, and has bands/lines across? Only responds sluggishly to on/off button. The menu screen comes up for a moment, but the screen blacks out and lines appear.

Have the same problem, but unfortunately this solution didn't work.
The iPad becomes unresponsive as the screen slowly fades to near black. The fading isn't even, vertical bands fade at different rates. Then thin horizontal lines appear up top or at the bottom. When it becomes responsive again, swiping icons is sluggish. Even when I press the power button to black out the screen, I can see thin horizontal lines up top.
I've tried wiping the iPad and starting from scratch, but after a few minutes the problems start again.

Problems with MP 1,1 and black screen

I am running a MP 1,1 w/ stock 7300GT card and 10.6.4. I have disk 1 & 2 in a raid 0, and used boot camp to partition disk 3 with a 32Gb slice for Windows. I installed XP at first and it worked fine, I was using it to play SCII beta.
I made a mistake and tried to upgrade the drivers on the Windows side and XP crashed on me. Problem is that even after removing the partition completely and trying again, whenever the system attempts to boot to a perfectly fine bootable Windows 7 DVD or the same Windows XP CD I used the first time, I see only a black screen. I have to OPTION into OS-X at that point.
Not sure what I did. Anyone else see this behavior? I have tried resetting the SMC and the PRAM. No love. What the heck did I do?

I had the same problem after my software was updated and rebooted. When i noticed this,i restarted my phone only to end up in an even bigger problem : My phone wouldnt open. I was stuck in the lock screen and cannot unlock my phone. I tried everything possible and finally connected my phone to my pc and using bb link,restored my factory setting. After doing all this, Im now able to access my phone properly. However, my settings icon still remains unusable. Nor can i access settings through my pull down menu.
Somebody please help. Im using STL-001 BB Z10

Problem with nokia n95 lcd. Black screen and flex ...

Hi i have a nokia n95. I have it since its first year in the market. I am very pleased with the phone but the last month sudenly when i slide to open the phone's screen was not responding. The actual phone was working great. I could receive calls and make calls, listen to music and everything else. The screen was black though. As i am a technician with experience on iPhones mostly i thought that the lcd was damaged. So i ordered one from the internet and 2 days ago i received it. When i installed it i had the same problem. The phone works but the screen not. Then i completely dissaseblied the phone for one more time and i noticed something that i hadn't before at the flex cable. The flex cable consists of 2 flat cables. Well the one is completely broken. Take a look at the following pictures and please tell me you opinion. I am 99.9% sure that this is the cause of the lcd problem. I want to tell me if i should buy the flex cable. I can't go to a nokia center because the phone is out of the warranty over 2 years now. So the only option is to change it on my own.

The flex cable is damaged. Some years back when I had a Nokia N95 8GB the flex cable was damaged and for a few days the screen was showing strange colours at the display and eventually the screen became black. I went to a local repair shop and I replaced the flex cable and what I noticed was that the flex cable that it had no proximity sensor on it so I told the technician to remove the proximity sensor on the original one and replace it with the new flex cable. Another thing I discovered was that after fitting the flex cable and returning the cover the front camera was not in its usual position so the technician had to do some modifications to get it back to its normal position and after a few months it was damaged and this time I went to Nokia Care Centre and replaced the flex cable for a small fee and what I noticed was that the flex cable that I previously bought was a fake cable. The one bought from Nokia Care Centre had its proximity sensor and when the cover was returned the camera was in its exact position the same as it was with the original flex cable. What I wanted to say is that please beware of fake flex cables on the market and I suggest that you buy it from an authorised Nokia Dealer.

Problems with Windows 8.1 Updates - Black Screen after login

Dear All,
I have a HP Pavilion g6 (SKU is D0Y12EA#ABU) and it's been running Windows 8.1 64bit without any trouble ... until recently.
On the last two occasions that I've done a Windows Update, something has caused the laptop to stop booting correctly. I get the logon screen but once I input the password, it gives me a black screen and a mouse cursor. I'm able to boot into Safe Mode and I've tried updating the Intel Graphics drivers but it doesn't help. The only recourse I end up having is to roll back to a Restore Point and prevent Windows Update from running.
Does anyone know if there is a specific update that is causing this? If so, can I get the KB number so that I can stop it from installing?
Regards,
Gareth

For Intel GraphicsOnly
I have a DV7-7133nr to which I have modified to SSDs, 16 Gig of Ram and Windows 8.1. I too had the black screen of death for a long time and have read many forums, and nothing worked until my last attempt. I am an Intel Channel Member and Partner and a Microsoft Partner, and this has fixed the problem, but it only applies to boards running the Intel Graphics 4000 video.
1. Go to Hp's website and make sure you have the latest bios update. I did, so at boot up, I held the f10 and reset the bios to default settings, hit f10 and saved.
2. When booted into windows, I went to the Intel website, support, drivers, and searched for the Graphics 4000 driver. Their driver was later than Hp's so I downloaded it to my desktop. I then uninstalled the hp driver through the Device Manager and removed everything, and rebooted the computer. That gave me back the Microsoft basic video driver. I then installed the Intel driver I downloaded, and not only did it removethe Microsoft basic Driver, but it installed correctly and gave me a control panel for the driver.
3. Since then, about 2 weeks ago, I have not had a black screen since. The HP Driver is out of date for Windows 8.1, but this DV7 has been the best laptop I have ever owned.
Good Luck Dale

Hi I have a problem with my ipad mini it reads not enough storage and it wouldn't let me do anything

Hi I have a message on my ipad mini that reads not enough storage and go to settings but it won't let me do anything, what can I do?

I think you're saying you cannot even successfully click the "Settings" button.
If that's right, try resetting your iPad. Hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
Your goal should be to get to Settings > General > Usage which will tell you some of the memory hogs on your iPad. You then should clean some items from the iPad's memory.

Wifi problems with iPhone5 & iPad mini?

After all updates possible , Wifi connection is completly unstable on both my achines. Very annoying!

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

Big problem with my ipad mini. iOS 7.0.6

After update to iOS 7.0.6 i have no sound, no ringtones, but i can hear a voice on the FACE time. Any ideas? Can You Help me?? Thanks for help

Hai Ralph9430, thanks for reply. But my signal is very good. When i use download another file is going well. But when i'm downloading app from appstore the speed is very slow. Thank you. Do you havea any idea?

Had problem w/ new iPad mini w/retina display. Could never get it to stay connected on a consistent basis to my ATT Netgear wireless. Does anyone have a solution?

Had problem with new iPad mini with retina connecting to my ATT net gear modem. Finally gave up and exchanged it for new air. Have had no problems with air connection. Has anyone had mini issues with ATT?

I too have experienced this issue over the past two days... I have a 16gb ipad mini retina, for reference. I bought the device one week ago, and had not experience any issues at all until bringing my device to work. I logged into my work's enterprise level wireless network both yesterday and today, maintained normal wifi capabilities for 2-4 hours each day, and was then randomly dropped, both days. I tried hard resets, resetting my network settings, airplane mode, etc. Nothing has worked. I am still offline on my ipad mini retina.
My iPhone 5 is sitting right next to my iPad mini retina. The iPhone is currently connected to the same very network, and has been for the past two years. I have never lost connection on my iPhone's wifi, just my iPad mini retina.
This must be some kind of bug, as it does not sound like a hardware nor network issue.
Hopefully they fix this in 7.1.
