Doesn't slide to unlock in my iPad

My iPad is not slide the " slide to unlock " when the message box says " Find my iPad alert ", doesn't tap the ok. When I restart using Home Button and Sleep/Wake Button, doesn't slide the " slide to unlock " and I see the "Find my iPad alert", my iPad doesn't tap the ok. It seems the iPad's touch screen doesn't work. Anyone ideas?

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

Apple logo appears when i slide to unlock !!!

The Apple logo appears everytime i try to slide to unlock my mini ipad and when i tried to reset by using itunes i got a message that this computer can not be trusted , how could i accept it to be trusted while i can't slide to unlock the ipad ??!! Plz help

Ok, so here's the update...
I did the soft reset, and that didn't do anything. It still behaved the same way. I called Apple Support (this IPad is brand new), and they said to bring it back for an exchange.
So I exchanged it for the same unit, yesterday.
The first couple times I booted up the new unit yesterday, it was fine, slide to unlock worked.
Now today, this one is doing the exact same behavior. Slide to unlock isn't operational, and the screen does dark until I hit the home button to get the screen back. Then everything works fine.
I'm starting to think this is "normal", but I can't get anyone to confirm or deny that. No one else has this behavior?

HT4061 Please can you help. My ipad is frozen. A box is permently on in the centre of the screen saying not enought storage. When i press on c e or settings it doesn't respond. It won't slide to unlock. Any suggestions ?

Please can you help. My ipad is frozen. A box is permently on in the centre of the screen saying not enought storage. When i press on the words CLOSE or SETTINGS it doesn't respond. It won't slide to unlock or close down. The ipad is 16GB and about a year old. Any suggestions.

THis suggestion also worked for my iphone! After a few warnings, the screen on my iPhone froze. there was no way to make phone calls or manage my iCloud storage or even turn it off. I deleted all the photos on my iphone, checked storage and nothing changed. So I purchased more storage, did the backup and still the screen remained frozen. To be sure, I checked that the new amount of storage was registered, it was but somehow my Mac showed the backup I had just performed (a couple of times) not having happened (it show the last one some 2 weeks before). Weird but I followed your suggestion (wish I had seen it before I purchased new storage) and Ta DAH!!! I'm back in business too. thanks!!

My slide to unlock doesn't work, how do I fix it?

My slide to unlock doesn't work, how do I fix it?have a square box so cant slide

Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod. If still problem it is a hardware problem.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following maybe less expensive. Google for more.

IPad 2 "Slide to Unlock" screen does not come up...

When I close my smart cover and then re-open it, the "Slide to Unlock" screen doesn't come up. Now it goes straight to whatever page I was on before I closed the cover. I didn't change any of the settings, any reason why? And how do I get the locking screen back when I close the smart cover?!!

One must know that voiceover application on mode will not work with slide application, so first you have to off the voice over application, for that pl follow steps as under.
1) go to general application by single tab to setting button, followed by double tab to same button.
2) you would be in general manu, wherein again single tab to about application.
3) pl now understand carefully, use your four(4) fingers simultaniously to slide the screen, pl slide on upward direction ( in any case with help of 4 fingers your slide application would work with voiceover application on mode).
4) single tab to accessibility option, then double tab to same button.
5) go to voiceover application with sinlge tab, change voiceover application on mode to off mode.
6) say thanks to yourself and enjoy ipad2 again.

my advise to you young guys: pl wash yr eyes four to five time by a tap water but do not use the towel to clean the water from eyes for 5 minutes, (this you should do as and when you get up from yr pc/ipad/mobile for other work.) your stress would get reduced to 90%

‘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.

IPad mini slide to unlock not responding

For some reason when the iPad mini is powered off then powered on, the slide to unlock will not immediately respond to my finger until several tries. But when it's on standby mode there is no problem. I already reset the iPad and updated to the latest OS but it is still doing that. Anybody has experience this and know any solution?

Try this:
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

Why does the screen on my IPad 3 go blank before it allows me to "slide to unlock"?"

I recently bought the iPad3. When I turn it on, I see the home screen and the "slide to unlock", but I can't do anything until the screen goes blank. Then I have to press the home button and the "slide to unlock" becomes accessible. Is this normal? Thanks!

I found apple service by calling number on the new ipad manual that comes in the ipad box. At the end pages of that manual there is number for support and service. You can also try to learn service number from the store you bought it. Or you live in a country which has Apple Store, give it to them to test it.
I thought it was a software issue too. I'm good on using software. I struggled a lot to find the trick. I searched net about it and saw it happens with ipads, iphones, android phones, generally touch screens. Don't accept ro reset your device advice if it is repeating.

HT1766 A message popup tells me that my ipad has not backed up in two weeks. Now my ipad is locked and I cannot cancel the message, turn it off or slide to unlock. What do i do?

I have a pop up message on my IPad that says it has not backed up in two weeks and now my ipad is locked and I cannot use it. I connected it to electricity, it is already on Wifi, and locked it with the button on top. But the message has not gone away. I cannot turn it off or remove the message or or slide to unlock. What can I do?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I never set a passcode for my iPad but it is locked and I can't get it unlocked. The "slide to unlock" does not work. How do I get it unlocked?

I never set up a passcode for my iPad 2 but it is locked and I can't unlock it. The "slide to unlock" does not work. Any suggestions on how to unlock it?

You have to slide to unlock to bring up the keyboard if a passcode is set. If you can't slide then try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

HT1414 My slide to unlock doesn't work. What do I do?

What do I do if my slide button doesn't respond?

Try resetting your iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
