My ipad is frozen and is displaying a black screen. Ive tried holding down the power off button but the apple displays and then nothing happens.

my ipad froze during a upgrade. it might have run out of battery. i brought it with me to work and i'm charging it but it keeps displaying a black screen. it wont even let me power it off.

If it is totally black, all the time, and you can never see anything on the screen, I agree with stef7 - it needs replacing. Is it still under the manufacturer's warranty?
Is the proximity sensor (dot(s) on top of the phone) covered by a case or screen protector? That would make the phone "think" you are holding the phone at your ear to talk, and will turn off the screen to save battery..

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

How can I salvage an iPad Mini that will not restart, reset or respond to Recover phase via iTunes and is not responding to any functions and will not access Home? Thanks

I have an iPad mini that will not respond and is non functional. It continues to intermittently try to automatically restart, access home page without success. It will not accept normal charge. I have tried to manually restart, reset and have been unsuccessful. It will not allow a Recover attempt via iTunes as well. Do you have any suggestions before I consider a replacement? Thanks.

Hello RC MD,
It seems you are unable to restore your iPad to factory settings, and it is not responding to power. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPad may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

How can I reboot my Ipad when I do not have access to the power off screen?

My device slide off my couch while in its cover. IT was working afterwards, for about 5 min. I sat it down while I took something out of the oven and was back maybe 5min. or so later. When i try to access it, all I see is a black screen. I cannot unlock it or even power off. How can I reboot it without the power off swipe ?

Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reboot/Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
Restore: Connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory

TS3274 my ipad isn't responding if i press the on/off button to turn it off so i could reset it

How do I turn off my ipad when it isn't responding when I press the on/off button to turn it off so I could reset it?

Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

How do I delete a photo when there is not a trash bin at the bottom of the screen

How do I delete a photo when there is no trash bin on the bottom of the screen?

If there is no Trash icon for that photo, the photo was most likely copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer. To delete the photo you need to do another sync.
1. If you want to remove a complete album, deselect that album in iTunes on your computer. Then when you click on Sync or Apply that album will be removed from your iPhone but it will remain on your computer.
2. If you want to remove only certain photos from albums you must delete the photo from the album on your computer or move it to a different album or folder. Then when you click on Sync or Apply the photo(s) will be removed from your iPhone.

HT1212 Because it says ipod disabled I cant get it to reset, i try holding down the sleep/wake button and home or either or and nothing happens. what now?

The i pod is disabled I cant conect to i tunes because it says to enter password. I have followed the steps to try a hard reset by holding down just the sleep/wake button or that and home button till the slidder bar showes which is not happening it has the lock symbol in the middle top screen of the red bar so i cant even get it to unlock.... any suggestions on how to shut this thing off so i can get it into recovery mode to reset it?

Try placing the iPod in ecovery mode and then restoring the iPod via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Next would beto wait for the battery to fully drain and the charge and try again.
