White screen on Ipad 3rd gen
Hi,
Not sure if this is a software or hardware failure, the screen on my Ipad has gone a bright white. Still works as you can hear the camera shutter when you take a screen shot, but you cannot see anything. This started yesterday after an hour or two it returned to normal, went again last night and since then hasn't worked. Tried resetting but to no avail. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
The screen has no cracks and nothing has been split, was working fine one minute and like this the next! One last point, after I got it back yesterday the screenshots taken were of my homescreen etc and not the white as you can see below.
Hope someone can help...

The part about the screenshots taken of the home screen doesn't make sense to me. I might be missing something, but nonetheless, I don't understand.
Other than restoring the iPad to factory settings, I don't think there is anything else to try. Take the iPad to an Apple Store and ask an Apple Genius to look at it.

White screen on a 3rd gen nano? Doesn't want to reset, any help
White screen on a 3rd gen nano? Doesn't want to reset, any help?
It fast forwards. Just hold down the right-arrow key and it fast-forwards while you are holding it down. That's how I got through all the O.J. stories on my downloaded news podcasts.

TS1363 white screen on nano 3rd gen
My 5 year old nano ipod 3 rd gen has a white screen. What can I do to fix it?
If none of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting do any good, you'll need to have the iPod either serviced or replaced as the LCD screen or ribbon cable is damaged or faulty.

Updating to 4.2.1 has White Screened my Touch (3rd Gen)
I finally got tired of the IOS Update nag message and let iTunes do the update. I disconnected the touch after the sync and had to run out of the house. WHen I went to turn it on I was met with a white screen. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas? I have reset it, resynced it, restored, DFU'd and restored all to no avail. And the IOS still says 4.2.1! How can I be sure that this was IOS induced or a hardware failure? I am beside myself with frustration.

I decided to resync from a PC in work. I managed to set it up as a new phone and put on some podcasts no problem. So maybe the problem is with my itunes on my home PC ?
I might try to re-install it at home.
Good idea, but be aware that all media content will be erased again because you're syncing to a different iTunes library.
If you have things to keep, back up manually by right clicking on the phone in the device list and choosing "backup".
Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your PC to be able to merge your data during the first sync.
Purchases can be transferred by right clicking and choosing "transfer purchases" without the sync process.

I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down. What should I do?
Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

i bought an new ipad 3rd gen 16 gb wifi cellular in may 2012. I hv a unique problem wherein the screen of ipad is not as smooth as what is general experience. Its not buggy but lacks smoothness and finger doesnot glide as smoothly .Can anybody help.
Do you clean your iPad screen? Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended. There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.

Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter. I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly. Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA. Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

One week ago, I was using ipad 3rd. gen model A1430 and the screen started blinking and suddenly became black.
I turned off and reseted the device.
But since then, it keeps doing the same thing, and sometimes it takes me a long time to turn on.
Any thought?
I don't have Applecare protection.
One more question: Would Apple accept this iPad as part of payment for a new one?
Thank you
Joao FerreiraTry a reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data You may need to do this more than once. Bsydd uk

IPad (3rd gen) loosing screen response while in media shared movie
iPad 3rd Gen - iOS6
Native Videos App
Home Sharing Videos
iTunes 11
Mac Mini - Late 2006 - Snow Leopard
When using the videos app on my iPad to watch movies that are stored on my MacMini (same network) there are some occasions where at a random point of a movie (usually about 5 minutes in) I loose the ability to touch the screen… the home button still works but for some reason the video still plays even though the videos app is no longer in the foreground. To make matters even more confusing I can double press the home button and "kill" the videos app… which usually does just that. But I can still hear the audio of the movie playing over the internal speaker. I can kill every application running and the videos still won't quit and screen touch won't work while the videos app is loaded. The only way to get the video to stop playing is to turn off the wifi and let the buffer run out.
I'll try and get a video of it, as this does sound confusing… especially if others haven't experienced it. It really only started acting up in iOS6. Any ideas?Issue still the same even after iTunes making its own 'version for iPad/Apple TV'

iPad (3rd Gen) which I purchased 3 week back in Bangalore. From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it. Any idea what could be wrong?
These are the some of instances of screen jumbling I faced
1) all the app icons stacked up on top left corner. I could move them anywhere on the screen but could not start the app. Later killed all apps and starting iPad rectified it.
2) starting any app was giving blank screen, restart rectified it
3) home screen and lock screen both merged up. I could see both of them together whenever I swiped on the screen. Again restart rectified it.
Can I get replacement of this piece, I believe there is some serious hardware issues in it.
RakeshHanded over iPad to support group named "imagine"in Bangalore Saturday evening. There is no direct support available from Apple in India. Know what.. These "imagine" guys are highly incopetent..
When I checked the status in evening, their reply was that there is no issue with iPad, even though burning smell was still threre if I keep the nose close to iPad, but during working for 4-5 hours it starts building up.
When I asked how did they tested it, reply was that they kept playing games on my iPad and they didn't find any issue.. Rediculous answer..
They even didn't bother to open up the piece or running test of full CPU/RAM and Graphics utilization. Now asking me to take it back to wait for either complete breakdown or burndown, no matter where I am.. Airport, hospital, client meeting..
I use my iPad mostly for client presentations, I don't want to be in a situation that the display again jumbles up during a demo session giving impression that the problem is with our application..
I wish I wouldn't have invested in this device through BYOD program.. -

PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE... I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS AMOUNT.Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

Updated my iPad 3rd gen to 8.1 and trying to use the new continuity feature,but I realized that in settings / general under spotlight search that Handoff and suggested apps aren't even their. I was almost certain that handoff worked with iPad 3? so now I can't even turn the feature on because theirs no button! Anyone else with this problem?
I'm a little disappointed in IOS 8. Most of the new features I don't need or have turned off. On the positive side, I like request desktop site in Safari, speak screen and highlight content in accessibility, swipe to hide in the App Store, exposure in Camera and don't forget "Hey Siri."
