I have a 2 part question. After contacting Apple Support because my iPad was freezing they guided me to do an iCloud Back-Up and then delete my account to re-synced with the iCloud back up. Unfortunately the Apple agent did not verify our 'Manage iCloud storage' to see that out 'Camera Roll' Pictures were turned off. This deleted 4 years of very important pictures (to say the very least). I was transferred to an Apple Senior Supervisor, who admitted his agent's mistake and said that there was nothing they can do.

The Senior Supervisor tried to send us and 'iPod Nano' as compensation ($150.00) and said that we would have to try and find an Apple certified retailer to try and recuperate the lost data (pictures) on our own and AT OUR EXPENSE.

This is a nightmare and what Apple is offering is a joke. I searched the Internet for programs to recuperate the data to no avail.

1. Please advise if there is any way (software or other) to recuperate these deleted pictures (as they were not backup anywhere) as the only way would be via the hard-disk on the iPad.

2. Please also advise what course of action to take with Apple as what they are offering is a sub-standard brush off.

Thank you for your time and effort

I tried turning it off, then plugging the charger in and like what its supposed to do, it turns on! I don't know what to do now that I'm reaching 10% battery. Turned off wifi and turned the brightness on the lowest. I hope i get an answer before it dies off.

Also when connected to power it beeps every 3 to 4 seconds (same sound as the single beep the ipad makes when connected to a charger)

Here are a few things I tried doing with no success.

Connected to iTunes which sees the ipad when connected PC

Tried resetting it using the home+power button

Tired restoring it, and restoring via DFU mode

Opened it up and disconnected then reconnected the display cables. The only thing I noticed was that the backlight goes on and off.

I don't know what it could be. Is it the screen, cables or logic board? Any advice would be appreciated.

So I went ahead and replaced the screen, and before I sealed the iPad I tried turning it on, and no luck, no image, no lights, nothing.

1- Screen has no image

2- iPad is on (shows up on iTunes

3- Tried holding the power and home button for 7 seconds

4- Tried to put it in DFU mode

5- I unplugged the battery from mother board

6- I tried unplugging everything about 10 times now

7- Left iPad cables unplug about 45 minutes

8- The battery is at 45%

9- If I hit the power button I do get the sound every iDevice gets

So I did all that and still no image.

Thank you in advanced for your help guys.

I've a problem with my iPad 3 gen wifi.

After a glass repair all it works exept the gyroscope function.

I can' rotate my screen.

I've restored my IOS and the problem it's always present.

So, I think this is a problem with the gyroscope chips on the logicboard, this is possible to fix it ?

Thank for your help.

Do you know if it is possible to remove and replace the rear panel on an iPad 3? One of the aluminium corners is a bit worse for wear on one I have here.

Cheers

There was a nice A1430 2578 64GB iPad in the lot that’s apparently not locked in the reported stolen way.

Says Hello and appears ready for set up does not require a passcode. But during set up it say it is tied to an Apple account but does not give the name. Says “this iPad is linked to an Apple ID and password that were used to set up this iPad (j……@g…..com). The there is a space for Apple ID and Password. I have not tried to enter anything in those blanks. Do you know if it is locked or just ready for a new user set up? There is no way for me to contact the original owner, what do you advise? I just don’t have much experience with these things except replacing digitizers.

UPDATE 7/16/16

I talked to my seller an ASP. I was told Apple refused service on it because it had been altered. It has a corporate acid etched logo on the back. Apple has just become unreasonable to work with. It's not locked, not stolen just rendered unusable. As much as I don't even like the idea of messing with the EFI chips, I feel very justified.

I really don't want this type of information posted on the iFixit site. So if one of you Pros actually knows the process I would appreciate a personal email. I even plan on donating the machine to a religious organization.

could you suggest tutorial that show how to replace only outer screen? I have seen many that replace glass with digitizer combo but none that show how to replace screen only.

this is one I bought

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331034088751?ssP...

please don't post answers saying to not buy from ebay or to just get one with digitizer, those would not be much help.

Thanks in advance.

I have broken the connector on my Ipad 3 logicboard for the onboard speaker plug and I am unable to find a part to replace this on the web.

Does anyone know the part number / name or where I can purchase this?
