The iPad Display gets dark in the sun

When using my iPad (1) outdoor the Display gets darker after a while. Is this usual behaviour of an LCD Panel?
Thanks for any advice,
Stefan

Thanks for your instant reply! I try to avoid exposing the iPad too long to the sun, but when I am reading something for instance the Display gets a little darker ...

Ipad screen getting dark fast

The screen on my iPad turned pink a couple of days ago and now it's getting dark fast. I've tried everything I can find out here:
I check the brightness and it's all the way up.
I reset it.
I plugged it into a computer.
I put my knee into it. Lots of people thought that was a miracle remedy.
I can't afford a new iPad. Please help thanks.

Is it still under warranty? I'd back it up and make an appointment and take it to your local apple store. It sounds to me like the screen or backlight is dying.

[Mac mini] Display getting dark and get back to normal, If there is an idle mode, where can I adjust it or turn if off?

MAC MINI (Mid 2011)
OSX Yosemite 10.10.2 / OSX Mavericks 10.9.5
While I were using mac mini for a while, the external display (LG_22MP55) has been getting dark and getting back to normal.
Did it enter into idle mode?
Anywhere I can find, can't find the related options to turn it off or adjust it.
Even adjusting "Never" for both "computer sleep" and "display sleep" can happen this annoying situation.
Beside, I have tried to connect iphone5S to external display (LG_22MP55) and double check LD will not enter into idle mode itself.
So, I guess this situation was happened by MAC mini.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

IPad Display gets black and won't turn on again

Hello,
the display of my iPad sometimes abruptly turns black as I would put it in Sleep Mode. Although there isn't anything displayed I know that my iPad is still working (from e.g. game music etc.). When I try to reset it (pressing Sleep and Home Button for 10 sec) the Apple logo appeares but it is only visible when I put light directly on it (e.g. sitting with the sun in the back shining on my iPad, hard to explain). However after waiting for some hours (sometimes more than a day) I can wake it up as nothing would have happened.

That sounds like a hardware problem and I would suggest that you take it to an Apple Store and have the iPad evaluated. It sounds like the screen is going bad and I don't think that restoring the device would do any good - since that would be a software fix.

22 inch LCD, display getting darker

i know its old. but it was working fine till today. upper part of the screen is darker. and the power button on the lower left is blinking. what does this mean?

I ran into a similar issue and had an ADC to DVI adapter around. This fixed the issue as the display is now pulling power from the outlet rather than the ADC port.

Display quite dark after some seconds and stays da...

The display gets quite dark after some time (10 seconds?),
eg. during internet surfing or email checking, even if the light sensor is in MAX position. Also removing the hand or the fingers away from the screen (light sensor coverage) the display stays too dark....until I close this app (with the function key), the display gets bright again, unfortunately the app (eg. internet) then is closed :-(

But there I can't make any changes. If I do so, it changes the profile to "own settings" automatically. But I wannne keep the "normal" and "higher perfomance" settings.
And by the way; I can't change the time, the display shades. Only if it does or not. "Lower monitor brightness automatically befor go to standby", and if I would disable it, I would change the profile as written above - and that's not what I want.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
I just want to increase the time the display gets darker.

TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported". I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
Any ideas out there?

I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work. It says "the connected display is not supported" What's up?
Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later. But trying again later doesn't work any better.
Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen. It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
any help or suggestions welcome

Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone? Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem. Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem? During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad. For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
We can investigate further based on what you will find.
Thank you for your help.

My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How do I get the SUN jdbc-odbc bridge to work?

Hi,
I'm trying to us the SUN 1.2 jdbc-odbc bridge on Oracle 8.
I have installed the ODBC driver from www.intersolv.com
(Merant) and have successfully tested it.
I have SUN 1.2 installed and verified that
the sun JdbdOdbcDriver is in my CLASSPATH.
My driver path is:
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
My url is
jdbc:odbc:Oracle8
my odbc.ini is correct, and my ODBCINI is set.
when I try to connect I get "No suitable driver".
The SUN documentation indicates this error means
my shared libraries aren't correct, but I have
verified my ODBC setup with a odbc demo app.
Any suggestions on how to form my url?
Has anyone used the bridge on Solaris?

The display is just too dim. I tried the brightness and backlight settings and these do not work. This has been like this since I bought it. Never bothered to deal with it before and just made do with reading a very dim menu.

I tried to close Voiceover, then the display became dark. I can t see anything. What can I do? ng. The voiceover still works. You can help me? Siggy from Germany.

I tried to close Voiceover at iPod touch 4G, the display became dark, the Voiceobver still is talking, the battery is loaded. What can I do get brightness back? Siggy from Germany.

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.

Will the iPad 3 get AirDrop in iOS 7?

I looked at the iOS 7 website and it says that the iPad 2 doesn't get AirDrop, but the iPad with Retina Display does. I have an iPad 3. Is the iPad 3 the same as the iPad with Retina Display, or do both the iPad 3 and iPad 4 get AirDrop?

The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.
