Help my iPad3 ( 64gb wifi+4G ) has gone mad !

As per title , it started to go sluggish while playing Angry Birds Space and now nothing is working properly . Touchscreen is unresponsive even to enter the password . Tried syncing with iTunes  but cant enter the password at the prompt ( buttons inactive )  . Tried Home + Enter but cant power off for the same reason . When the screen is on , the Time and Slide to Open buttons appear but have no effect and a set of Audio buttons appear and flash in order ( Stop , Play , Next etc ) at the top .
It has now cooled down ( it was quite warm ) , not connected wirelessly and pressing the Power button the display appears normal but no reaction from buttons. How does one get it going again without access ? Or have I got a dud ?

Hi , and Thanks for that . Unfortunately , it made no difference . According to iTunes I have successfully restored the iPad 3 but the problems are :
1) No response from the screen . Slide to Open etc do not work .
2) Audio Controls at the top of the screen appear randomly and flash and alternate with the clock . The Volume slider moves up and down all on its own while each of the other buttons are highlighted one after the other !
3) The few photos on board roll along on a permanent Slideshow .
4) A black bar , the same size as the Slide to Open bar , containing and exclamation mark and the words ' No Sim Card Installed ' has appeared in the middle of the screen . Inserting a Sim card has no effect .
5) Brightness flickers as if its own Slider Control is being moved up and down .
6) Basically , its now a brick . I cant gain access without the screen and cant properly shut it down without the ' Off' slider working !
7) Very disappointing with something < one month old

  • After notified by Apple to update to IOS 7.1 version for my iPad3, 64GB, WIFI   AT

    After notified by Apple to update to IOS 7.1 version for my iPad3, 64GB, WIFI + AT&T Cellular, the upgrade crashed and left my iPad3 in restore mode.  After more than 10 restore and update retries, I found that Apple tried to force an update of iPad3, WIFI & Verizon on my iPad.  When will Apple fix this problem so that I can get back to normal life with my iPad3.  If anyone has solutions to this, please help me.  Thank you.

    The iOS udate is operator agnostic. There are no special versions. What leads you to think this is the case?

  • Help, please.  My iMac sound has gone all stat·ick·y The Video won't play correctly or at all.  I have a Model Name:     iMac   Model Identifier:     iMac12,1   Processor Name:     Intel Core i5   Processor Speed:     2.7 GHz  I am running OSX 10.6.8

    Help, please.  My iMac sound has gone all stat·ick·y The Video won't play correctly or at all.  I have a Model Name:
    iMac   Model Identifier:
    iMac12,1   Processor Name:
    Intel Core i5   Processor Speed:
    2.7 GHz  I am running OSX 10.6.8

    So just to be clear on a few things:
    Should partitioning the hard drive not work is it undoable?
    Will this have any impact on doing a complete erase and reinstall and will that restore it back from the process?
    Is there a limited amount of space that makes this process ineffective?
    I have never had to do this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don;t wind up in the dog house *)
    Thanks again

  • My JVM has gone mad !

    my JVM has gone mad !
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
              long free  = r.freeMemory();
              long total = r.totalMemory();
              long used  = total - free;
              System.out.println("total"+total/(1024*1024));
              System.out.println("used"+used/(1024*1024));output :
    total 1
    used 0
    this output is absurd ! bcause by default JVM eats up 64 MB RAM. how can it show total is only 1 MB ?
    is my JVM corrupted ?
    i want to see my JVM to print 64 MB RAM . how ?

    First, try writing:
    System.out.println("total"+total/(1024d*1024));
    System.out.println("used"+used/(1024d*1024));
    it is already in the code . whats wrong with it ?Uh, uh. There are two "d"'s more, so that you can se a floating-point amount of megabytes.
    Then...
    freeMemory
    public long freeMemory()
    Returns the amount of free memory in the Java
    Java Virtual Machine. Calling the gc method may
    result in increasing the value returned by
    freeMemory.
    Returns:
    an approximation to the total amount of
    mount of memory currently available for future
    allocated objects, measured in bytes.
    how much memory JVM consumes when it starts ?Isn't that exactly what your program tells you ?

  • Battery power consumption has gone mad...!

    I have an iphone 5 IOS 7.0.4
    Suddenly the battery consumption has gone crazy.  The phone feels warm and and 100% of power is used over 4hours with phone in standby. 
    The power lasts if I turn off mobile data.  I have no apps running and location services icon is not showing?
    I did find that I have used up all of my icloud storage .. I have resolved this issue now..
    There seems to be a hidden process that is using power..  I do not know how to track this down... any suggestions please?

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Sorry to hear that you're having issues with battery performance.
    I recommend that you first check what's using battery. Charge the battery full and then use the phone as you normally do. When battery level is low, go to Settings -> Power management -> Battery usage. What does it say here? By tapping the apps/functions in the list you can also se how long they have been active.

  • Spotlight has gone mad...

    Spotlight has gone crazy in Snow Leopard...
    All day long my MBP has been running hot and the fans have been a spinning.
    My main disk name is "Macintosh HD" and my backup disk name is "MBP".
    Every time I try to use spotlight I get the "unavailable" message and the barber pole
    spins with a message that is something like:
    Estimating time for indexing mbp.
    Note the lower case. ( mbp is also the name of the mac).
    I have told spotlight to ignore "MBP" but that does not appear to be working.
    The console log shows many crashes:
    8/29/09 7:46:29 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.metadata.mds[493]) Job appears to have crashed: Segmentation fault
    In desperation I have turned off indexing for the root volume "Macintosh HD".
    This has returned some normalcy to the system ( but search can't find anything).
    Is this a widespread problem?
    Any fixes that allow spotlight to work?
    Thanks
    Jerry

    Hi Jerry.
    This does seem to be a widespread problem, and putting your root in the Privacy Pane as you have done is the only fix I've found so far:

  • FCP5  has GONE MAD, it WONT QUIT CRASHING.

    FCP5 GONE MAD, WONT QUIT CRASHING.
    The problem started earlier with a simple "Preview Disable" problem. While trying to fix this a new problem arouse, FCP5 has crashed at every single attempt to do anything with it... Here is a thread that will give you some background information leading to this problem. Jeff Hubbach, "PREVIEW DISABLE; [VTR OK]; read TimeCode and control camera" #6, 12:30pm Oct 17, 2005 CDT
    I have run Disk Utility, trashed FCP5 preferences and restarted the computer and I had to force quit the program every time I have opened it today.
    What do you? please help

    Hello Patric,
    The sofware "crash" meaning it locks up (So far what is does is that it shows the loading icon and thats it) I wait just a few minutes, but when I press the Cmd + Option + Esc to force quit, FCP5 reads " Final Cut Pro Is Not Responding" everything on red.
    The other things is that even after force quiting, on the dock it still indicates that is open, and when I press the Cmd + tab to navigate through the programs, it still shows FCP as if it was open.
    I don't have any network drive mounted. I am using one drive the same that is running the the OS and others...

  • Please help. Engineer came today and has gone....

    Seriously p----d off. BT engineer arrives this morning to put in Infinity. I’ve been without Broadband for nearly three weeks as EE shut my account down (long story) but they did make keep my phone line active during this time. Anyway, today, March 6, was supposedly the day BT took over the line and the broadband could also kick-off. For whatever reason, BT gave me a new number which I was told would go active today. Fine. But when the engineer arrives at 8am – guess what – the line isn’t active. Whenever you dial out, it just says “the number isn’t recognised.” Then, to complicate things further, the number BT gave me several weeks ago as my new phone number is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to the one the engineer reckons is assigned to the line; he’s dialling 17070 and it’s telling us that a totally diff number is there which is neither my previous one or the new one. He leaves. Oh my God. I contact BT. Routed to India. Explain everything to a person there. He goes off and comes back and says it’ll be connected by 1pm today. I’m not confident. I mean, what number will be connected, exactly? I just give up. Anyone know what I should do?

    You probably have a "stopped" line at the moment, and the changeover to your new number will take place overnight, within the exchage software.
    This is an automatic process which is triggered when the provision task has been completed.

  • Iphoto has gone mad

    Hi there
    I have a new Imac and I had about 950 photos on it imported from my cameras and USB storage devices.
    When I activated Iphoto for the first time and it imported photos it seemed to think there was over 30,000 photos and whilst importing it seemed to import the samew photos again and again.
    I cannot open it now as it spends all its time updating thumbnails.
    What has happened? Please help!
    Olly

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    Post back with the result.

  • KeyChain has gone mad.

    hi, help. i have two mac's updated to 10.6, the macBook is doing fine but the MacPro is having issues. Keychain starts up works. (i used to have to type the password in but now it's auto) BUT... about ten mins into work, suddenly it stops working and asks for the password, which it promptly rejects. (yep i know the password) so suddenly i have windows everywhere demanding it.
    so far i've fixed permissions (nothing)
    first aided keychain (nothing)
    killed all the .mac keychain items (nothing)
    tried to change the keychains password (rejected)
    help... its driving me mad...
    cheers

    Babowa has offered a solution. The reason Apple is not supporting you unless you pay is because you opted to not get AppleCare which would have extended the warranty to 3 years and also provided 3 years of telephone support. Unfortunately you have to get AppleCare within the original 1 year warranty period, let it go beyond that and you are self insuring.
    Sorry to hear you dissatisfied though. I think if you spend a little time with Mavericks you will find it stable and accommodating. Is it possible you may need a little more training or education on Mavericks? If so, there are many resources available including Apple Store classes, courses  on-line, community colleges and of course books at the local bookstore.

  • Mouse pointer has gone mad on NB100

    Started a download from the iTunes store, came back 30 minutes later to find my mouse pointer jumping erratically in a vertical direction. Had to disable the synaptics pointing device driver and plug in a USB mouse. After rebooting and restarting the mouse driver it appeared to work mostly correctly again until today where it's doing the same thing.
    Has anybody else experienced this? I'm coming to the conclusion that the touchpad and keyboard on this device are just very poor indeed.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I uninstalled the Synaptic driver and installed the Microsoft one. Still does it, although it is intermittent. When it happens, if I tap the touchpad in the right place it stops. So, it does look like there is something wrong with my touchpad.
    Once I back my HD up I am going to revert back to the original factory install. If it still does it then - and I'm fairly sure it will - I guess it's off to Toshiba to get repaired.
    I wouldn't mind so much had it not been for the fact that the netbook has had very little use indeed - maybe as little as 100 hours in total as I tend to only use it when on holiday / visiting the parents.
