How can I get my iPad to turn on?

Ipad 3 about 2 years old. Battery ran low a couple of days ago and now it won't turn on despite supposedly being charged.
When usb'd into my computer it occasionally must flciker into life because it asks me if I want to import my photos. If I press cancel that is the end of it. If I press import (or upload?) it says I can't becasuse the ipad is locked.
I've tried all theusual things like pressing home button and the other button together. No response at all.
Is there a way of unlocking it somehow from my laptop?
Any help appreciated!

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

    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.

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

  • How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer?

    How can I get my ipad to reflect the same playlist order that appears on my computer?  My computer has the exact desired order of playlist, but once the system is synced, the ipad does not reflect the propper order.

    In iTunes with your playlist shown in the correct order, right-click on the playlist name in the side-bar and click Copy to Play Order. Enable the side-bar with CTRL+S if necessary. Sync. Note also that the column you are sorting on should have the small triangle pointing upwards, otherwise the songs will play in the reverse order. You may also find that you need to first remove, and then add back the playlist to the device if syncing doesn't update it properly. See this post for more.

  • How can I get the iPad to sync Outlook 2010 in Parallels via iTunes?

    Hi
    I want to be able to sync my iPad with both iCal on the iMac and Outlook 2010 in Microsoft Office 2010, installed in Parallels 7.  What happens is that when I connect the iPad to the iMac (USB) it syncs directly with iCal via iTunes.  How can I get the iPad to sync Outlook 2010 in Parallels via iTunes as well?  Do I have to download and install another copy of iTunes in Windows 7 in Parallels?
    Appreciate your help.
    Kind regards
    Alani

    Don't think that's possible as iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time.
    Is there a specific reason you're using Outlook?

  • 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.
