touch screen is not work for the iPAD
I am unable to use my iPAD because the touch screen is not working? The swipe functions are not working. How do I fix it?
iPad, iOS 9
Since this is an old iPad, if this iPad is still running iOS 9, you can either find a reputable, third party Apple device repair center to replace this iPad's screen or forget this iPad and look at new, refurbished or “newer” ( used ) iPad models that can run the latest iPad OS, like an iPad Air 2 or later or iPad Mini 4 or later or iPad Pro 1st gen or later OR iPad 5th generation or later.
FYI,
These old iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are nearing 8 and 9-years old, now.
As of the beginning of 2019, many, MANY third party app developers are all more quickly and completely dropping older app support for all old 7, 8 and 9-year iPads that are running 2-3 year old and earlier iOS versions ( iOS 10 and earlier ).
Third party app developers are removing all of their older, legacy versions of their apps from Apple's App Store servers, now.
Older versions of apps are going to be gone for good, now!
Getting older versions of apps for these old iPad models, initially from Apple’s iOS App Store is getting very difficult and very problematic and this issue is getting, painfully, much worse in 2020, now!
These old iPads are now reaching their complete end of life and support.
So finding apps for old an iPads, while still possible, currently, will be a challenge, now, in 2020.
Old iPads that can no longer be upgraded/updated will have NO MORE APPS AVAILABLE for initial download, at all, soon, from the Apple iOS App Store, for such old iOS devices in the very near future.
Older versions of apps for these older iPads will be completely gone, at some point, in the very foreseeable future.
So, this is really now the time to seriously consider a new or discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple or other Apple authorised resellers or other trusted sources of used Apple products.
A lot has happened with iPad and iOS in 7-9 years and in the past 2 to 3-1/2 years since iOS 9 and 10.
Here's a recent Apple iPad example.
The 2019, 10.2 inch screen 7th gen iPads have a 1/2 inch larger retina screen, much faster and newer 2.3 Ghz, A10 Fusion processors, AT LEAST, 3-4 times the internal RAM, with the 2019, 7th gen iPad having 3 GBs of internal RAM, iPadOS 13 support, with much better and improved multitasking features, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart keyboard cover support and have better audio speakers and better/improved built-in cameras.
Amazon, itself, currently has slightly or slightly damaged ( USUALLY on exterior packaging damage ) base model 2019, 7th gen, 10.2 inch screen, WiFi ONLY 32 and 128 GBs iPad models selling for $285 and $367, respectively, through its own direct sales distribution.
This is a $45-$66 savings from Apple's own pricing of these iPad models.
Amazon will also provide for purchase of extended, AppleCare+ product warranty protection plan, also.
These slightly damaged ( sometimes only damaged packaging and not always the actual device ) devices will NOT have any damage that will affect the device’s normal operation.
In addition, Amazon has its own warranty plan for covering electronics devices that are new, used or slightly damaged.
All Amazon refurbished, “renewed” products are all eligible for Amazon's own 2 or 4-year warranty plans.
Also from Amazon.
A 3-year old, Apple 2017, 5th gen. iPad 9.7" inch screen, WiFi ONLY, 32GB- Space Gray (2017 Model) (Renewed) $279 U.S.D.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
