How do you fix a blank iPad 2 screen without loosing any memory?

So my iPad got a little bump while it was on slepp, and I go to wake it up, and the backlight comes on, but thats it.... I can turn it off by doing that swipe you have to do and I can turn it back on, but nothing else. I have no idea what operating system it has, but I do know it's not iOS7. I have it backed up on iCloud, and I put it on recovery mode on my iMac, but I'm scared to restore it because I don't know how to use the iCloud backups and make it "appear" again on the iPad when its reset. If I shouldn't reset it/have in on recovery mode, how do I safely get it out of recovery mode???
Thanks if any one can help me.

I'm not sure that I totally understand what you are doing, but of your iPad is in Recovery Mode now, you will have to restore the device. You can't just change your mind and opt out of recovery mode.
If you backed up with iCloud, and you want to restore that backup, you have to erase the device in order to restore the backup.

I could be wrong, but from the way that you describe what is happening with your iPad, I think that you might have a hardware problem and restoring the iPad isn't going to fix it. You may have to take it to an Apple Store and let an Apple Genius take a look at it.

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do you export logic projects, and into soundcloud without ruining any quality?

    I export a song, and it lost alot of volume. I found a way around that by adding adaptive limiter to the entire mix. It helped alot. Now I post it to soundcloud and then some of the instruments quality degrade. And when i play it in iTUNES or even the finder window, it is how i want it to sound. When I hear it on soundcloud, its quality and volume degrades. Is there a way around this???
    please help! Thanks!

    Just to clarify before I make any suggestions is that what most DAWs call exporting isn't called exporting in Logic, it's called Bounce. If you use the export command in Logic it will give you seperate WAV files for each track and .midi files for any midi tracks you have in your project. The Bounce command is right below the export command in the file menu, though.
    The settings you choose when bouncing really depends on your preferences and how big of a file you care to have. If you have no mastering or mixing left to do you should choose PCM saved as WAV or AIFF (I'm honestly not sure of the pros and cons of the two), but you can bounce the project as more than one file format at once so you don't really have to choose only one.
    If you bounce to an MP3 go ahead and choose the highest settings which I believe is 320CBR (320 constant bitrate). You can also bounce as AAC, which I prefer because Apple Lossless results in a fairly small file (compared to WAV) while maintaining good quality. You can also manage the file's metadata from this menu so your ID3 tags are good to go.
    Like I said it's really up to your preferences and what you are going to use the file for.

  • How do you fix a bad touch spot on an IPad 2?

    How do you fix a bad touch spot on an IPad 2?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem. If that doesn't solve the problem Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My granddaughter put a pass code in her ipad and forgot it. how do you fix this?

    My granddaughter put a pass code in her ipad2 and forgot what it was. How do you fix this?

    If she's forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then she will need to connect the iPad to the computer that she normally syncs to and she should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync her content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - she may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Has anyone else had an unsaved photo disappear from a text message?Gone. No thumbnail... it doesn't exist anymore? How do you fix that? Can you fix that?

    The photo is gone in the text message. Gone. No thumbnail...it doesn't exist anymore. How do you fix that? Can you fix that? Can you ever get the photo to show up again? I stumpted the guy on the phone with this problem. I need some help from anyone who has experienced this problem and might have a solution! Thanks in advance!

    This happened to me also, a few days ago... I went to look at pics that were sent from just one person, all the other photos that people texted are there during same time period.  It is only this one contacts several photos that disappeared...   There is an arrow when I click on it it goes to a blank page?!?   Have you received any feedback or answers??  Did your photos  that are missing come from only one person or multiple?  If you have any information that might help let me know!!!  I really want them back!!  Thanks much!
