HT1430 The iPad froze while reading.  I couldn't close the app or shut down.  Eventually it shut down but now won't turn on.  I recharged recently so it is not the battery

My iPad screen is black and it won't power up.  It froze while reading this morning.  I couldn't close the app, turn off or power down.  The screen eventually turned off.  I recently recharged the battery so that isn't the issue.  I have held power button down to no avail.  What should I do?

Press and hold both the home and power buttons till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

    I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes.  Any solutions?

    The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device.  Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up.  It keeps syncing to the old library...

  • Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work. Formerly ran WGM from my 10.6.8 mac (worked perfectly)  but now I am at 10.7.5 and must use WGM on the server. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

    If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

  • My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

    My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year  ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

    Try moving and wiggle the devise  if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
    Hope this works

  • My phone was being very slow and i thought turning it off, and back on again would fix it. It turned off but now won't turn back on, except the apple appears on the screen and stays there for a long period of time. Someone help D;

  • I had a power outage, my battery powered surge protector worked.  But now when I turn on my Apple TV, I cannot get beyond the computer and setting screen, and see the Apple TV options screen.  What step am I missing.  Internet is working.

    After the power outage, turned on TV and tried connecting to my Apple TV, but directed to a screen with a computer Icon and a Setting Icon.  Can't get past this screen to my TV options screen.  Internet is connected???  How to I get to my TV options?

    Yes I had already reset my internet connection and had no progress.  However, while I was trying to figure out a solution I used my Apple TV to listen to music from my computer.  Then I went back and tried again and the TV icons appeared - and Apple TV was working

  • I replaced the swollen battery on my MacBook Pro early 08 and it turned on at first but now won't turn on

    I was given a early 08 Mbp that the battery had expanded and I replaced the battery and at first it turned on and was working fine then I tried to reset it for the settings to take effect and now it's not turning on. I tried taking out the battery and it does nothing. Nor will it run without the battery while plugged in.

  • IPad froze while updating to 5.1

    I connected my iPad to my Mac and was notified there was an update to iOS 5. I clicked on update. It took forever to download and now I cannot close iTunes and my iPad shows a picture of the initial screen telling me to connect it to iTunes.Its been a couple of hours and nothing has changed. Any suggestions? I tried turning it off, but it won't turn off.

    You could try a hard reset - - hold the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider . That may let you restart the device, but I get the feeling that the "connect to iTunes" image will be on the screen when the iPad does boot up.
    You might be best served going right into recovery mode. More than likely, you will need to do this anyway. Read this article and follow the steps to get back on track.

  • I downloaded the new software on my iphone 4 and it worked for a few hours and now won't turn on

    i downloaded the new software on my iphone 4 and it worked for a few hours and now won't turn on

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. If still nothing, connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, iPhone may turn ON itself. If still nothing keep on charger and Reset. It can take about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger.

  • Was playing the Ipod and it went black and now won't turn on

    was playing the IPod touch with camera and it went black in the middle of a game ans now won't turn on.

    After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If it now works you are done.
    - Connect it to the computer.  If it appears in iTunes restore the iPod
    - If not seen, see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

    Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

    Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track.  However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone.  I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone.  I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets.  I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything.  I hope we can find something.

    Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.

  • When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen.

    When i plugged my ipod into the computer it started to make buzzing and screeching noises. It became hot so i removed it and then the screen froze while it continued to make these noises. I have never had anything like this happen. (never gotten it wet or had it exposed to extreme temperatures) It is also unresponsive to any buttons on the ipod and it didn't show up when i plugged it into my computer. What do I do? Also if it is unfixable could i get a free one from apple?

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
