HT4623 during update ipad went dark and can't get it to come back - it is plugged in

Help my ipad went dark when installing the last update. The battery may not have been fully charged but it was plugged in. It has been 3 hours now and can't get it to come back.

It sounds to me like it's in recovery mode

Basically it wants to be connected to a computer to fix itself via iTunes.

Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

You can right click on a toolbar (e.g. empty space on Tab bar) to get a context menu that allow to set which toolbars to display.
If the menu bar is visible then use:
* View > Toolbars
If the menu bar is hidden and you have the orange Firefox button then use:
* Firefox > Options

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears. If that does not work you need to take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar to have it evaluated by the technicians.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

All I have on my I pod touch is a white screen with multicolored lines going across screen. What do I need to do. I can't use I tunes because it says I have to have passcode and can't get screen to come up. I have already tried holding both keys down.

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.. It bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod)
- Next try DFU mode

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Check out Apple's Knowledge Base article on troubleshooting portables that won't turn on or start up.
Maybe something there will help.

My Firefox crashed and I cannot get it to come back up. I have a MAC. What now?

My Firefox crashed. I had been cleaning out some downloads and I don't know if that had anything to do with it but now I cannot get it to come back up. Help.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

My ipad went blank and I cannot get turned back on.. ??

My ipad went blank.. turned off... what can I do to turn it baCK ON...? tHE ON/OFF SWITCH doesnt turn it back on...

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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT201320 I just update to iOS 7 and can't get separate email accounts

I just updated to iOS 7 on my iPhone and can no longer see my three separate email accounts. The only thing that comes up is All Mail which merges my three accounts. Anybody else having this problem?

I've had a simialr problem - but no love with the reset. I have also stopped itunes from syncing and then re-synced the accounts with no success - they all seem to be gone.
When I open the mail app it prompts me to add accounts but as I try to add them it says they are already there and indeed I can see them in settings but there seems to have been a disconnect somewhere when updating to ios7.

Updated Java (13.5) and can't get a Firefox window (mac, 10.6.8)

My MacBook pro suggested I update to the most recent version of Java. after doing so, I can't get a firefox window on opening firefox or on requesting a new window. If I click on a link I get a window.
what'sup?
New java is 13.5 Firefox is 3.6.18 Mac is 10.6.8

If you have access to an Apple Store, the Genius Bar should be able to manually install a version that works with your Operating System.
Be sure to make an appointment though.
AppleCare should be able to help you as well.
You could also try that Express Lane option in the upper right corner of this page:
