Help! My iPad seems to be broken!

My iPad went dead a couple of weeks ago because my charger broke. So I eventually went out and bought a charger and put my iPad on charge, and when my iPad went flat it usually took a couple hours for it to turn on and charge so I figured it would happen again, so within the next 2 days nothing happened. It wouldn't charge nor turn on. I've even tried holding the lock and home button for 10 seconds and it won't work. I've tried plugging it into my computer but it won't come up when I plugged it in. I urgently need advice/help, I have school work and drawings I need to get off there! Someone please help me!

It might be your adapters problem, you must have left it charging a long time and it got hot and broke. This problem happened to me iPad and I found out it was my connectors problem not the adapter. If you have a friends or you own a iPhone 5 try using the iPhones connector with your adapter and, then try using your adapter with the iPhones connector. If it is not the chargers problem then you should check with your local apple store. Hope this helped.

Hi The best option is to do a factory Reset this will get rid of any bugs And set up iPad as new. Just use same Apple ID you will get all your Apps & Data back. Do this over Wifi Cheers Brian

Hi please help.
I have a iPad 2 , not jail broken, just 2 months old fresh from the apple store. Recently I have been directed to **** sites or a fake bad oink **** application, through various applications. From google chrome app, the photon app and safari.
I always delete cookies and cache on exit. I use photon and puffin to watch flash player videos on tv series site with links such as put locker. I heard that there is no virus for the iPad but Trojans do exist.
Pleae help, at first this was just happening with photon app now in 3 different apps, and it is directing me always to the same **** site. I don't watch **** so it's. it from cookies or whatever and my iPad has been randomly turning off and also the videos are working really badly now. Also there is a message red alert staying untrusted site and hacker may be intercepting your device. What is going on? Please help
Is their a new redirecting Trojan or virus for iPad 2. ? If yes how can I remove it and will it cause permanent damage to my device? How could I have got this virus and in 3 apps. I'm also,worried as I use my iPad to buy things online etc with my credit card. What shall I do?.. Do I restore my device? How do I do that as I cannot connect to iTunes as I do not have a computer, just my iPad. Any help appreciated thanks.

They broke a story on sept 4, 2012 titled "apple's iOS, the new favorite malware victims"
Despite the dramatic title of the article, the only mention of iOS in the body was this:
Even though malware is increasing in iOS, it still remains relatively low compared with other operating systems.
And, it provides no examples or other documentation. And, unlike you, I don't consider CNET "the most legit tech site on the internet". I find them to be generally biased in their reiviews and heavily influenced by advertisers.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/06/26/yes-apples-machines-really-ca n-get-viruses
The Forbes article descibes issues with the Mac OS, of which there always have been some, though certainly far fewer than there have been on the Windows platform. It goes on to speculate :
All those iPads, iPods and iPhones? Is this going to be a juicy enough target for the virus and trojan writers to at least attempt to attack, even given the difficulty of doing so?
Again, the Forbes article doesn't mention any current viruses, trojans or malware that exist which will affect an unjailbroken iOS device.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/15/iphone-malware-kaspersky_n_1515074.html
And, the HuffPo article quotes Grebennikov thusly:
"Our experience tells us that in the near future, perhaps in a year or so, we will see the first malware targeting iOS," Nikolai Grebennikov, Kaspersky's chief technology officer, told Computing.
Again, even Kaspersky doesn't say such things exist now, merely that they might.
Speculation about what might happen in the future or articles focusing on the Mac OS or Android are not terribly relevant. So, if you do have any other citiations, preferably from a source that doesn't derive most of is revenue from the companies it reviews, that document a virus or trojan that affects an unjailbroken iOS device, I would be interested. I have not been able to find any. I thought, perhaps, as a professional, you might know of some.
Thank you.

Since the IOS 5 update my iPad seems to run a lot slower connecting to websites and general use? Can anyone help?

Digging a little deeper on here, and I've Cleared the Safari cache, and rebooted , so i'll see if it is any better!!!!!

My iPad acting so weird tonight. When it shut down automatically because the battery has been drained. When I opened it, it creates some weird sounds like *swoosh* blahblah. It does make me feel nervous. Can someone help me? Does it already broken? :(

Numbers seems to have broken

I was using Numbers this morning -- no major problem except that it didn't properly recover from page view (leaving junk on the right of the table).
This afternoon it seems to have broken. ALL my files, including the one from this morning have mostly blank cells. The contents seem to be there - if I click a cell the contents show up in the formula bar (or whatever it's called). And if I double-click to edit the contents reappear. But then go away again as soon as I finish with the cell.
Some (but not all) of the header cells in Gray Headers style show up, and some are simply a pair of faint white squares at the end of the text string. Check boxes show up OK.
Oh, and if I double click on a date it shows up for editing with the year as 00002010.
This is very distressing. I have a lot of data locked up in Numbers and as of now, all is unusable.
What's going on?

Thanks for the help. Actually I should have mentioned that I tried that (I've been using Macs since my Mac IIfx in 1990 so I picked up a few tricks) as well as restarting. The problem remains.
In the meantime I've tried opening my files (remotely) with another machine. No problems. It's local.
Next I'll try reinstalling Numbers, if I can find the disks

My Ipad Power Button Is broken..

My Ipad power button is broken. Usually I try to suppress it as hard as possible, it worked. but when I tried it that way, could not.

If your iPad is in sleep mode you can turn it on by pressing the home button.

The email on my iPad seems to have messages disappear. I have checked all the settings, display settings, I have compared the settings next to the iPhone. The emails stay on my computer and I phone fine. But all messages just disappear when checked.

The email on my iPad seems to keep disappearing. I have checked all of the settings, viewing settings, etc. On mail. I have compared it next to the settings on the iPhone and see no differences. The mail stays fine on the iPhone and the computer. Can anyone help me??

Did you ever resolve this issue? Mine started doing the same thing today after flawlessly working for over a year.

My iPad seems to think today's date is 1st May. Any ideas how to fix it?

MY iPad seems to think today's date is 1st May. Any ideas how to fix it?

I think the clock no longer works.
If you set the time and date to somewhere around 2001, or 2005...it will probably keep the setting just fine. But around 2010, it stopped working.
Not broken, that is just the way it was made......many years ago!

I have a MacBookPro 5.5 and an iPad 2 32GB 3G; both items are pretty recent. Today I tried connecting them via blootooth. MBP state "pairing success" whereas the iPad seems to be still searching and indicates the MBP as "not connected". That over and over

I have a MacBookPro 5.5 and an iPad 2 32GB 3G; both items are pretty recent.
Today I tried connecting them via blootooth. MBP states "pairing success" (only after NUMEROUS attempts!!!) whereas the iPad seems to be still searching and indicates the MBP as "not connected". That over and over.
Also, the iPad does not seem to recognize ANY bluetooth device in the house (they ARE discoverable since my MBP DOES "see" them) like, for instance, my mini-Mac.
Any help would be appreciated; (I hope the problem lies NOT in the bluetooth antenna, in other words not in hardware.)
P.S. The MBP seems fine since it DID connect to Mac-mini.

Hello:
Was the iPad paired with another device? If so, you need to "unpair" it from the previous device. Bluetooth devices may be connected with only one thing at a time.

Some emails I receive on my ipad seem to disappear when I want to look at them again. Also I forwarded an email to several people with attachment. WhenI went back into the email to print off the attachment it wasn't there.

Some emails I receive on my iPad seem to have disappeared when I try to go back into them. Also I sent an email with attachment to several people. When I went back into my email the attachment had disappeared. I phoned one of the recipients to see if the attachment had been delivered and it had. She tried forwarding the email and attachment back to me. I received the email but not the attachment. I checked my iphone fior the original email and the attachment wasn't included. I have IOS7 on the ipad but IOS6 on the iphone. Can anyone advise please?

Update seems to have broken openbox theming.

I updated about 2 hours ago and it seems to have broken a lot of my window manager.
I use openbox as a standalone window manager and have had no issues so far.
I update every few days and today caused the resizing-freeze issue, so I downgraded the suggested packages which fixed that.
However I have another issue with theming.
Programs such as firefox, thunderbird, thunar etc... all have the correct theme. However I use some gnome programs such as rhythmbox and nautilus and neither of these are themeing correctly as well as terminator and all appear to have the default gnome theme.
I use obconf and lxappearence for themeing normally, however these seem to have no effect.
I've done a fair amount of searching and googling and am now very tired and am going to bed.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated. If I am being stupid in my sleep deprived state please feel free to point it out XD.

Hi all. I'm also running Openbox and have done the following so far;
1. Installed gnome-themes-standard. Created a new folder ~/.config/gtk-3.0/; Created the file in the folder "settings.ini" with the following code;
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
gtk-theme-name = Adwaita
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
Thanks to the info on the thread here
2. Checked out the post here. Downloaded the tar of Adwaita from this.page and did the usual "makepkg -s" magic and rebooted.
What I'm now getting is nm-applet in tint2 with the dark theme of Adwaita which is great but doesn't really match my dark theme axiomd but it's better than before.
What I'm wondering is how to manage this in lxappearance, change font etc?? If I select the theme Adwaita it's a light theme? Having looked in the directory there is both gtk-2.0 (i think this is the light one?) and gtk-3.0.
I've also noticed that it is affecting rhythmbox; slow to load and the status icon setting in the plugins is missing, so you close the GUI and find the app quits rather than the previous behaviour where it would close but the notification icon would still run in tint2 enabling one click control access to the GUI again.
I appreciate this is obviously a new implementation and will take a bit of time to learn but any tips from those in the know would be great!? TIA.

Hi karlos16,
For the error message you are seeing, I found this article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992
"This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available."
This message is displayed when there is not enough storage space available in your iCloud Storage to complete your backup. You can either reduce the amount of data you are backing up under Backup Options, or you can buy more storage.
For the issue with the iPhone appearing to be unresponsive, I recommend this article for troubleshooting:

My ipad mini screen is broken and i still have the service coverage. Will they fix it for me ?

My ipad mini screen is broken. I bought it in Orlando in Febuary and when i last checked my status, my service coverage is still active but my technical support is not does it mean if i bring it in december they will be able to fix the screen for me or will i have to ay for the fix ?

Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty unless you have Apple Care+ which allows for two incidents ofa ccidental damage and there is a $49 copay for each incident. You do not have Apple Care+ so this would not be covered for you.
If you are saying that the screen broke on its own, you would have to convince Apple that it happened that way.
Apple offers an out of warranty iPad replacement with a refurbished device and the cost starts at $249.00 in the U.S. for an iPad 1. Apple does not repair iPads at this time, they offer these replacement devices. You can read more about it here.
