HT2188 iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work.

Hi
My iPad 1 requested activation after being low on power. Activation does not work so I have tried to restore it from iTunes.  this progresses but after rebooting, it gets to the activation process for a few minutes and re-boots again - in a loop now. on ios6, not 7. help please?
I also looked at trying to do a manual install of firmware via iTunes but I do not know the version of firmware or how to find it out - so really stuck!
Thanks

I pulled my unit out of the dock - powered up and the display goes blank (if you look carefully you can see the bios boot screen, then black, then you can see the backlight turn off.
I plugged in the USB monitor and boom - I could log in.
Once Logged in I could see that windows still thinks it has some of the monitors from the dock, and the internal display is set to disable.
So the issue is the detection / setup of monitors in/out of the dock.
I've done about all I can do for dubugging, I hope lenovo can pick up from here. if not I'll have to call lenovo support.

    My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

    ‘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.

    After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software.  Gives error 9931.  What gives?

    Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
    Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • My ipad has a black screen and the power button is not working. Help!

    This is the second time my ipad screen has gone black. The power button is not working. I reset the ipad about two weeks ago  when this happened. However, this time I am not able to get itunes to recognize the device. It keeps asking to respond from the ipad (obviously with a black screen that isn't going to happen). Im not sure what to try next...thoughts?

    Have you tried to give it a reset?
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.

  • I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

    I have no sound for games in my iPad. I have tried the reset but it does not work. The speakers work as I have sound for music and videos.

    Try this  - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1630
    http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • I updated my iPad 4 iOS 8.0.2 and the camera does not work, ... Please help

    I updated my iPad 4 iOS 8.0.2 and the camera does not work and hangs and unconnected, .... Please help me in this question,... Thanks in advance

    You're welcome, but I didn't do anything. Try closing the camera app completely and reset your iPad and maybe that will help.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • After uptade to ios5 my camera  does not work

    after uptade to ios5 my camera  does not work

    I have the same issue. I upgraded to ios5 then the camera was frozen and no longer works. I took it into an Apple store and they said I had some hardware damage that look to be consistent with moisture getting in through the headphone jack. I accepted that answer and went on my way since my warranty was over 100 days past and I did not feel like paying $100 for a repair with the 4s upgrade avaible with my account soon. I started to look at some other apps that use the camera, the Facebook photo share in the FB app, the amazon bar code scan, camera+ and they all work. There is definitely some kind of software bug with ios5, based on my experience, that freezes the camera. I would suggest taking it into apple to have it looked at or just using a camera app like camera+ to take pictures.

  • HT201412 Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.

    Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

    If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
    The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

  • Request Scope for portlets? Sharing data tutorial does not work for portlet

    I created 2 identical applications, one that was a regular JSF web app, and one a JSR168 portlet. By following the "Sharing Data Between Two Pages" tutorial, I can get this technique to work without a problem in the web app, but the portlet (deployed locally using the pluto server) does not work. What is the difference between a regular app and a portlet app?
    This shows that portlets apparently handle scope much differently than other applications, so any information relating to this would be helpful to pass along.

    Portlet Life Cycle Differences
    A portlet page is the same as a web application page in the Creator 2 application
    model with differences only in the page life cycle. To best understand the life
    cycle differences, you must first understand how a portal interacts with a portlet.
    This interaction between portals and portlets is defined by the JSR-168 Portlet
    specification. Typically a portal display in the web browser shows multiple
    portlets. That is, when the portal page is displayed, there are actually multiple
    portlets displaying or rendering their content. The job of the portal is to manage
    how these portlets are displayed. Internally, the portal is responsible for telling
    each portlet two things:
    1. When to display itself
    2. If there has been an action, such as a button press, performed inside that
    portlet.
    When a portal wants portlets to display their contents, the portal sends a render
    request to each portlet showing in the portal. If one of the portlets showing in the
    portal has a button tied to an action request, when that button is pushed, the
    portal fires an action request for that portlet. In addition, the portal generates a
    render request for the portlet and all other portlets on the page. You should note
    that the portal implementation fires both action and render requests for each
    action method on a portlet showing in the portal. The implication of this
    interaction means the portlet page being rendered can not make assumptions
    about the state of the values to be shown. Unlike a normal web application page,
    a portlet page can't assume that the page being rendered in the Render Response
    phase is the same page that was built in Restore View. If a portlet wants to
    maintain state across repeated render requests, the portlet must use the session
    bean to store stateful information.
    The main point to remember is a portlet page must always be prepared to render
    it's values from scratch or session data. This implies you should never bind
    portlet page UI components to page bean properties or request bean properties.
    Also, you should never rely on page bean instance variables that might be set
    during an action event.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipad airplay (mirroring) via apple tv on samsung tv does not work at all

    I try to mirror my ipad (version 3) with the latest IOS via apple tv (version 2, latest IOS) on to a samsung tv. It doens't work. Although i'm able to select airplay on my ipad it won't show on the samsung tv.

  • After pairing in Bootcamp, magic trackpad does not work

    after pairing in Bootcamp, magic trackpad a) does not control cursor and b) does not persist after closing Bluetooth devides dialog.
    Summary of Problem:
    Magic Trackpad is found and paired, but does not control the mouse.
    When you shut the Bluetooth devices and reopen (or reboot and reopen), the device is not listed.
    Detials of problem:
    Bootcamp 3.1 (i cannot find a later one) Windows XP all updates, All Apple Software Updates (to bootcamp and mac os x) installed, Magic Trackpad driver download and installed.
    Control Panel, Bluetooth Devices, Add - it detectes the magic track pad (ie track pad blinking, click add) everytime
    - It asks about a pass code, I have tried it without a pass code and with automatically Generate Passcode; does this setting matter?
    In bluetooth devides, the track pad shows with "Auto Generated passkey" when that is the option selected
    Found new hardware comes up, Apple Wireless Trackpad, everything looks fine.
    - In Bluetooth Devices, it shows the trackpad wiht "no passkey", even when I told it to automatically generate one.
    The track pad does not control the cursor.
    Close Bluetooth Devices and reopen it, or reboot and reopen Bluetooth devices, and the track pad is gone.
    Rebooting does not change the outcome of above.
    I have gone to device manager and tried to update the two (apple & microsoft) Bluetooth drivers with the update button, it says I have the most current.
    I do not see how to tell if the Magic Trackpad driver is installed, so I tried installing it again. It does appear to be listed under HID in device manager.
    I have done a lot of googling, wasted a lot of time, if I cannot get it to work, I will return it to the apple store.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    bob

    Bob, cannot help directly but I am having a similar problem on my MacBook Pro with Windows 7 Pro. Pretty much the same symptoms except my trackpad is not always recognized - it seems I have to click it to get Bluetooth to see it. Windows claims to have seen it OK on one occasion and installed the drivers, asked for a reboot etc. but the TrackPad still does not respond.
    Works OK on the Mac side although it is not recognized as a separate Bluetooth trackpad which can be configured differently from the built-in. I wonder if this might be a clue?
    I have installed the patch and tried a bunch of other things. Seems like Apple has some work to do sorting out the bugs on both the Mac and Windows side with this device. Pity because its an excellent piece of kit otherwise!
