screen is suddenly flashing red and purple, whats up?

Octopus Chef-
I think you will need the services of an iPad repair center.  If you search for an independent iPad repair center, the cost of a non-warranty repair should be less than at the Apple Authorized Repair Centers.
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was broken. I bought a new one but now it won't charge. I have a BATTERY bar in the middle of the screen that is flashing RED and I have a symbol on the bottom that looks like a charger.

    How do I restore my Ipad 4 from my desktop computer? My charger was damaged so I bought a new one but it won't charge. On my Ipad, I have a BATTERY bar in the middle that is flashing RED and an icon on the bottom that looks like the end of a charger. I have tried to force into reset mode, by holding the sleep key and home button SEVERAL times but it does NOT work. I have plugged my Ipad into my desktop computer, but I do not have a screen on my desktop that is coming up. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AFTER I DID AN UPDATE AND WAS LOCKED OUT AND I USED EITHER ICLOUD OR ITUNES TO RESTORE, NOT SURE WHICH AND I FORGOT HOW.

    Hi MrsMoosie,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
    If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Regards,

  • Mac Book Pro mid 2012 screen colours turned red and purple (similar to rainbow colour)

    When I turned on my MacBook earlier, which was in sleep mode for all night, all the colours turned red and purple. The screen pixels were all a kind of red but the computer was working as usual. I turned it off and then back on and the screen was ok. Then I turned it off again for about 6 hours and now the colours are ok. Does anyone know what might be the problem? I am running on a MacBook Pro 13'' Mid 2012 (OS X Maverics) and it is the first time it's done anything like this. I read on Apple Support that maybe the CPU is failing, but when i run the System Diagnostics Test I think it turned out ok. I appreciate all answers.

  • I have a macbook pro...and I'm not able to start it and my power supply light is flashing red and green!

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro...and I'm not able to start it since this morning.
    It was working well last evening.
    Also the power supply light is flashing red and green! What can I do?? Pls help.

    You have to take the MBP with the MagSafe charger to the Apple Store
    as soon as possible. You may need  a new charger.
    Best.

  • My iPad colors are fuzzy with lots of reds and purples.  Did this once before and cleared up.  This time it won't clear up.  Any suggestion?

    My iPad colors are fuzzy with lots of reds and purples.  Looks like my digital camera when it needs to be recharged if that helps describe the issue.  Can anyone help?

    Next step is to back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file. If it continues, take it to an Apple store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.

  • Why is my network extender flashing red and pink?

    hi,
    I have had my Verizon extender for a while, I bought a new Motorola modem/router connected them up and now my network extender isn't blue like it was before.
    the system band is flashing red and the gps band is solid pink.
    I have unplugged it more than once and it still won't go back to blue!
    Any help please?
    thanks
    Karen

    The breakpoint may not be as expected..
    OPen the subVI and check to see if there is a red contour when it is not running.
    If it is the case, use the brakepoint (pointer) and click onto a blank area inside the block diagram of the subVI. The red contour should dissappear.
    Run the vi (main vi). See if it is okay.

  • My iMac display occasionally flashes green and purple horizontal lines... is anyone else having this issue, or know of a fix?

    The screen occasionally flashes purple and green horizontal lines across it. Then the buttons on the left side of my menu bar turn fuzzy, and when I click on them they become black rectangles with green and purple lines running thru them. The dock also has a hint of green and purple in it. And some of the shadows around application windows are just black outlines, instead of gradiating shadows. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have a fix? I read about the other supposed graphics issues, but I think they're unrelated, or at least left unfixed by the firmware update.

    All Macs come with a one year limited warranty.

    Why can't you use the Bluetooth keyboard?
    According to the link I posted for the AHT..
    "For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead."

    If you connect your iPad to your computer and run iTunes, does it appear under DEVICES on the left side of the iTunes window?  If it does, select it and click on Restore.

  • T61 Battery light flashes red and green

    Hello:
    My T61(type 8891) won't start. I'm getting a series of flashes from the battery and power lights:
    A/C power connected: power light flashes green alternately and battery light flashes green then red/green.
    AC off, battery installed: power light flashes green at the same time as the battery light flashes red/green.
    This happened twice before in the past 2 weeks. After about an hour, it booted up - no problem. This time, nothing.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    It started about one month ago - no known cause. The problem happened 3 times since then but each time it booted up by itself  after a half hour or so. A new motherboard is going to set me back plenty but f it's needed, I guess I must get it repaired. I'm quite handy at taking the laptop apart. I've replaced the hinge, and bezel.
    Maybe the fan is inoperable which may cause it to not boot up. Lately, I've been feeling exhaust air much warmer than before even if it's not being used. I blew the dust off it 3 weeks ago.

  • Have a gray screen with a flashing folder and no original CDs what can I do.

    Can't boot up my mac at all. I have tried using command R and that did nothing for me
    I also tried using the command option P R and that did nothing
    I do not have the original CDs anymore And my latest backup is from awhile ago
    Anyone with an idea I am all ears
    Thank you

    Gray screen and flashing folder means the firmware can't find the bootable OS volume.
    Press and hold the power button down to force a hardware shutdown.
    Use a wired or built in keyboard.
    Press and hold the option/alt key down, press the power button to start the machine and keep holding the option/alt key.
    What should occur if your boot drive is operating is seeing a grey screen with a bunch of icons that represent bootable options.
    If nothing, then your drive is either dead or the GUID partition table is messed up, data recovery is possible if the drive is removed from the machine and still works, no encryption naturally.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
    If you see just the RecoveryHD partition, then at least the drive works, the MacintoshHD partition's data can be recovered.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Reset your Mac
    If you see your MacintoshHD then click on it and the arrow below it to boot, then in System Preferences, set the Startup Disk again. If it doesn't hold, try a #2 NVRAM reset and do the same thing again.

  • HT201444 My iphone 6 screen suddenly turned red and collapsed into a black screen, I can't restore or reset it, error 4013 appears on itunes

    Last week I bought my iphone6 and today, when I was using it, a red screen appeared and it collapsed into a permanent black screen with an apple in the middle... I restarted it a few times and tried to connect it to itunes and restore it, but it doesn't work, it starts the restoring process but after a while it fails and error 4013 appears on my Mac's screen. I don't know what to do, please help me I really need to use my phone right now.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My screen has suddenly gone black and doesnt respond to anything

    Hi all,
    Last night my screen suddenly went black, however the phone is still on as it vibrates when I ring it.
    Ive tried the master reset but it wont actually turn off. Ive also restored the OS and its still faulty.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you restore "as new iphone", without using the backup to restore from afterwards?
    Also try this, mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    1 Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    2 Turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    3 While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.
