HT201412 Why can't I get my iPad to go past the apple logo? The screen now has crazy lines all over it. Can't restore cause computer doesn't recognize it in device list.

When I was updating iPad 2 to newest iOS I interrupted the update by doing a reset. Now I can't do anything. Won't even show up as device on my computer so I can do a restore. Worked perfectly before I tried to do the update. I thought the update was messing up cause it seemed frozen about 1/4 way on the line that advances when you do an update. I held down home and power buttons for about 10 seconds and now there are colored lines and such moving across the screen. Can't do a restore from backup cause device not recognized. Other iPads are recognized so it's clearly the particular iPad that has the problem. What can I do?

Try and force iPad 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.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

    Try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers and see if that zooms it back out - and if it does set Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom 'off'. If it doesn't zoom you back then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

    I left my macbook pro closed and when I came back the screen had a huge crack all over the screen, anyone know why this could have happened?

    Someone dropped something onto your computer.
    Someone pressed on the closed computer.
    Someone placed heavy objects on your computer.
    We can only guess since the someone was not us and we were not there when it happened.

  • Computer doesn't recognize USB-Raw device

    I have followed EXACTLY the same procedure for setting up a USB Raw device for VISA control as described on the NI support website. I am using VISA v3.2. But when I plug in my USB device, the driver that it associates to the device is the USB HID driver which is not what I want. I have been able to setup the same device on other identical computers (OS, VISA version, etc. was the same) without issue. I have tried multiple times going through the process after removing all USB HID drivers but have not had any success. Any ideas?

    Hi ee_engineer,
    Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you using the procedure detailed in the following link?
    Knowledge Base 325APJ2Y: How Can I Communicate With a Device Using NI-VISA USB RAW Mode?
    It sounds like you are experienced with this procedure, so I am not sure without more information the reason that the process is not working in this case. A few recommendations I have are to ensure that you are using the correct VID and PID in the Device Driver Development Wizard, and that it is being saved in the correct place (the Windows INF file). Once this is accomplished, the device should then be detected as a new hardware with NI-VISA as the driver. If you have any further specific questions regarding this, please post them and we will continue troubleshooting this.

  • I dropped my mac book pro and the screen now has black and coloured lines in the corner. what is it and how can i fix it?

    I dropped my mac book pro and the screen has now got a black rectangle and pink and green lines down it. What is it and how do i fix it?

    Sounds like the display got damaged. Connect an external display and see if that's OK. If that's OK then the display is probably damaged. You can try reseating the LVDS connector but if that doesn't help the connections on the display body are very difficult to get to. Apple would just replace the entire display and that's what I would do as well.

  • I restored my software on phone and now I can't get anything. The screen just has an emergency call feature and when I call it , it doesn't ring.  Any idea how I can get back into the line?

    How do I get the phone to work again?  It has no apps on it and the only thing I can do is make an emergency call and when I call it from another line I just get voicemail.  Before restoring I backed up the info but don't know how to get it restored on the phone.

  • FaceTime - I cannot hear the other end at times and the mic now has a forward slash in front of it and I can't get it to go away

    FaceTime-at times I cannot hear - no audio - the person on the other end.  The mic now has a forward slash over it and I cannot get the slash to disappear.  At times I hear the other end even though the forward slash is still there.  I believe I have checked all of the settings.

    If they don't show up on screen captures, it's most likely a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • HT3775 I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0.  I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards.  I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

    I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0.  I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards.  I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

    Hi James,
    I am listening to embedded training files on the Quick Time player (I think). They cannot be copied to protect the information.  You only have the option of listening.   I used to be able to click on the Q in the audio strip and it would provide a diagonal arrow and this would allow me to expand the bar to a full screen. I then had the bar which would allow me to navigate in case I wanted to listen again or in case I wanted to move forward.  After my upgrade, I can no longer expand the strip to a full screen with the adjuster.  Now I have not chance to take a break in listening to these audios and most of them are at least an hour long.  Thanks for your help.

  • On my wife's iPad mini I can't get past the screens accepting the software license to upgrade over WiFi

    On my wife's iPad mini I can't get past the screens accepting the software license to upgrade iOS over WiFi.
    Works if I do it over iTunes on my desktop.
    I get the screens to agree to the software license (twice) then it sits there until I get impatient. like 30-60 seconds. Have tried a hard boot but have to connect it to the computer each time. Latest was when I upgraded to 8.2

  • Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    Since upgrading the IOS 8 on my IPad 2 I can longer get a full screen on my TV when connected with an HDMI cable. anything I should change in my settings? Right now my iPad is mirrored on the TV with a black box all around the edge

    I have reached the same conclusion in the mean time. I have done a bit of investgation in to other grahics cards and am seeing some that show SPDIF connections from the card to the mother board. I was not familar with SPDIF but it did a little bit of sluething. It is of course a digitally enconded voice. I am guessing that in that case the mother board ( assuming it supports this hardware option) would use this output and be able to translate that digital audio to its other audio outputs. That is a lot of guessing of course. I think my "solution" might  be a whole new desktop - a rather drastic course of action! I was in the proceess of getting ready to upgrade this machine anyway with a new graphics card (which I will now return), go to Win 7, and maybe even a new digital TV reciever,  and I don't want to throw good money after bad anyway.
    Thanks for your comments

    Call Apple anyway. If the device was ever registered with then they will have the serial # on file and can look you up by other info such as your name or phone number.
    To re-enable an iPad any computer with iTunes should work. However, if your data was not backed up to iCloud you will not be able to access it until you get back to your home computer.
