How can I get my iPad screen back on?

I cant get my iPad screen to turn on. I have tried holding the home and sleep button down and tried 'restoring' the iPad but it still not working and nothing appears on the screen. It is charged.
I was having trouble before wtih watching a video. When I went to the video app I had a TV show on and when I hit the 'done' button in the upper left corner of the iPad the iPad would freeze up. I could not get to the list of video's on the iPad because I could not get out of the show that was the most recent show I was watching.
To make it even weirder, iTunes can find the iPad so it must still be on and working (right?). But no matter what I try I can't get the screen to turn on.
I don't know if this matters, but I took the iPad with me out of the counrty for 5 weeks and I just returned and today is the first time I synched it in 5 weeks (it did sucessfully sync more than once today). It worked fine while I was gone, except I did have one time where the video would freeze the iPad like described above, but it went away after just turning the iPad off and on.
Any help would be great!

It may be possible to force the iPad into recovery mode. See <this article>.
If that does not work, I suspect your iPad has an internal problem that will require repair. If it is still in warranty, contact Apple. If out of warranty, search the web for iPad repair centers. There may be one in your city.

My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?

My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud? Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

I suppose ya. If she deletes my account from her iPad it won't affect my account, right?
Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

I use my iPad to get the address book backed up by iCloud from my iPhone. However, I cannot see the recent new contacts from my iPad. Is there anyway to check the iCloud server to see if my address book backup from my iPhone is still there?

How can I get my audio book back on my ipad?
After syncing with itunes on the pc, my newly purchased audio books vanished from the ipad, and I can't copy it back! I've tried copying the audio book back into the library, but that didn't help.
Also couldn't get iTunes on my iCloud! there was no where to select on the icloud dashboard so that I can add iTunes ... Help!

Audiobooks are not currently available for repeat download from iTunes in the Cloud. Your audiobook should have transferred to your iTunes library when you synced your device.

How can I get a full screen on my tv when i am mirroring from my ipad 2

how can I get a full screen on my tv when I am mirroring from my ipad 2?

You woul dprobably need to choose a zoom display mode on the TV.
Any screem shots / promos for mirroring I've seen have been 4:3 ratio like the iPad screen resolution.
To me this would be an obvious source of frustration to users of 16:9 TVs - unless there's an ipad 2 mode to somehow run in 16:9 not using the whole screen or not displaying the edges for mirroring, AppleTV2 may not be able to fill the screen

In Yosemite, How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar at the top of the screen

In OS X Yosemite,
How can I get the "READER" button back in the Tool Bar for Safari at the top of the screen ?
Thanks,

I don't see the "READER button".
I see "READ LATER" but not the "READER" function.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Please continue to HELP ME with this question.
In the previous version of Safari, there was a "READER Button" on the right side of the tool bar. This brings up the selected web page in a READER mode all by itself, without the ads, etc.
Are you saying that I can get this function by clicking on the Left side of the Address bar?
When I do that, I get lots of icons, but NOT the READER button.
Thanks

After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past. How can I get the flexible orientation back??

After update to O/S 7.1.2 my iPad2 is stuck on Vertical Orientation and will not shift to horizontal as it has in the past. How can I get the flexible orientation back??

I agree with what FoxFifth has said, but I want to add a little to the discussion and put my own twist on the explanation.
If you see a lock icon in the upper right corner of the screen - then the screen orientation is locked.
Try the side switch above the volume rocker first and see if that unlocks the screen.
If you are running iOS 7, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the control center and the lock icon is in the row of icons at the top all the way to the right.
If the screen is unlocked but still will not rotate, reset the iPad.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
Help would be much appreciated!

If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

Have you confirmed that the app supports AirPlay? If it doesn't, then you'll have to connect via screen mirroring. See:
