HT201412 IPad doesn't respond

I have the first generation IPad, has been working pretty good, mostly, started weird things with e-mail a few months ago, now it's totally frozen, won't open at all.
Show's the logo and the wheel, frozen also, then draines the battery and I have to plug it in again.. Haven't been able to open for about a month, afraid it might be a goner, Apple store to far away.. Any help out there ???

Try and force it into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

Screen ipad doesn't respond during video viewing home sharing with multiple iOS devices simultaneously

A have a problem with the videos app and iTunes home sharing on multiple iOS devices.
This is my setup. On my iMac 2006 with Snow Leopard I have:
- 100+ dvd's ripped in my iTunes movie section
- 600+ episodes ripped in iTunes TV-section in 35 TV-shows
- 1 apple tv, 1 iPad 2, 1 iPad mini
On an average evening my family is watching different tv-shows simultaneously on the apple tv, the ipad, an iphone, and an ipad mini.
This is done through home sharing on the one iTunes library.
All updated apps, software etc..
What happens on the ipads, after viewing for more than 10 minutes, the user interface doesn't show up when tapping the screen. The touchscreen doesn't respond, only the home button works. Clicking the home button closes the app, but the sound of the video keeps on playing. Opening up the videos app again gives a black screen with sound still playing and still no button or UI.
The only workaround which currently works is killing the videos app. Power off the ipad and power on again, reconnect to the shared library, wait until it has found all the content (1+ minutes) and startup the tv show again.
All in all, a nasty way to pause your viewing or switching to another movie of tv episode, or even wanting to finish viewing.
The problem has haunted me for a year now, patiently waiting and hoping software-updates would fix it. They didn't.
A fix would obviously hugely improve my user experience, getting it on par with Apples usual quality of service.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Apple: is it possible to fix it in an update?

Same here for over a year now.
You cant imagine how happy i am that im not the only one with this problem.
many of frinds have the same setup as me (ipad 2, 27"imac, express, apple tv 2)
No problem
I had the problem on Snow Leopard, lion and now on mountain lion.
I'am also starting to get a new problem - sometimes when waching a movie on iPad or ATV it just quits the movie and you have to start it again
on the iPad most of the time it also shows the wrong cover art. I tried all the hints here, and i works for a day or two then its wrong again
I store my itunes library on an external drive - you ???

My iPad doesn't respond to wifi

I have wifi through AT&T. On my iPad 2, sometimes the page I am trying to access will not load. When this happens, I turn off my iPad 2 then turn it back on and it works fine. This happens at least once a day. Please help. What can I do to fix this.?!?

My IPad Doesn't respond and let me pass the ICloud backkup note after I click the OK botton.

Try this.
Reboot 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 buttons.
BTW - backup the iPad like you should. That will keep the message from reappearing.

TS4036 iPad is locked. Says I haven't backed up in 5 weeks. I touch "OK", but it doesn't respond.

My iPad seems "locked". Dialog msg says I haven't backed up on iCloud in 5 weeks. I touch "OK", but iPad doesn't respond?

See what you missed here:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

Please can you help. My ipad is frozen. A box is permently on in the centre of the screen saying not enought storage. When i press on the words CLOSE or SETTINGS it doesn't respond. It won't slide to unlock or close down. The ipad is 16GB and about a year old. Any suggestions.

THis suggestion also worked for my iphone! After a few warnings, the screen on my iPhone froze. there was no way to make phone calls or manage my iCloud storage or even turn it off. I deleted all the photos on my iphone, checked storage and nothing changed. So I purchased more storage, did the backup and still the screen remained frozen. To be sure, I checked that the new amount of storage was registered, it was but somehow my Mac showed the backup I had just performed (a couple of times) not having happened (it show the last one some 2 weeks before). Weird but I followed your suggestion (wish I had seen it before I purchased new storage) and Ta DAH!!! I'm back in business too. thanks!!

When I turn on my iPad and. Go onto the Internet the wireless router cuts off and the Internet stops working and doesn't respond

Hello,
When I turn on my iPad 2 and go onto the safari and go onto google the wireless router cuts off and turns the Internet off and the Internet doesn't respond and then after I have to turn the router off and turn it on and then it is back to normal it has happening when I recently updated the new iOS 6 on my iPad since then it was been doing this please can you help and help me sort the problem out
Thanks

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT201412 My iphone 4s Doesn't respond or power on/off !!!!!!

My iphone 4s Doesn't respond or power on/off, The screen is like if it is turned off, no voice no nothing, but when I call it from another phone it doesnt say that it is off, I hear ringing but my iphone is dead with no voice or light or anything,
This happened to me before the iphone battery was 20% and after 5 min this happend, I connected it to the charger for more than half an hour but even the red battery light that indicate the recharging process didn't came up, after 3 hours when I gave up and was going to find someone to fix it I put on the charger for the last time and it WORKED so I thought maybe that was something with the battery and no problem, Than was 2 months ago, It happened again this morning I found the same thing and tried everything but nothing works .. after 3 or 4 hrs it worked again,
What is wrong with my iphone? it's new I bought it 4 months ago, never falls on the ground as I take very good care of it, what should I do?
The problem is that I Live in Kuwait, and when I searched for apple support in Kuwait I found nothing, What Do u guys think the problem is? what should I do about it ?

No, it is not Apple's official forum. It is a user to user forum. If no user knows the solution then no one will post an answer. Likewise if no one understands your question.
