Screen on iPad went black/gray any suggestions as to what to do? I have already restored it and it didnt make it better.

I haven't dropped it or anything recently so I don't know what could have caused this.  I have never had this problem before. I am unable to get to a store for another week. Any other suggestions would be great!

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

  • My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with the macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network though. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

    My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?

    Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
    What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices.

  • Our brand new quad core imac will not start up.  We hear a drive and fan noise but the screen remains black. Any suggestions?

    The computer shut down on its own while we were gone and will not start up again.  When we press the power button we hear drive and fan noises but no chime and the screen remains black.  Any suggestions?

    A pretty common thing for computers that have been shipped is a RAM chip becoming dislodged just enough to cause what you are describing. Try re-seating your RAM chips. Basically just pull them out and push them back in. Take a look at this article if you need some direction on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423

  • What is the best iPad 2 cover. Any suggestions please?

    Best iPad 2 cover. Any suggestions please?
    I would prefer a leather option, but this is not a certainty.

    For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad  is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Do you mean you can't stream movies etc. You can only play media over Airplay, you can't share data from other apps.

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.

  • My mac won't boot up, just has a white screen with a blinking ? mark, any suggestions?

    this usually means the software and hardware can't find each other for whatever reason the following article addresses this issue:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1440
    can also do apple hardware test, following article on that:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    if you can't access the apple hardware test in the above article you can also do fsck command to check the hardware as well, following article tells how to do that:

    hopefully one of these articles helps w/ resolution!!

  • Ipad went black

    My IPad went black and I can't get it to turn back on.

    Danielle,
    Quite simply hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time and wait until the Apple logo appears and the iPad completely reboots. Don't release the buttons until the IPad has totally started up again.
    This does cure a lot of minor issues if you start to notice erratic behavior with your device.
