Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?
Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

Please try temporary connecting your printer to some other power socket, without using any power extention or hub.
If the same issue persists, contact the local HP Support center, as it seems like and hardware or Power Supply problem.

I have problem with my Ipod touch when I upgrade it with ios 6. I cannot turn it off. I have alrealy followed the troubleshooting instructions to press both the off/sleep button and the home button but still it will not turn off. I cannot use my ipod anymore for it is just hanging up.
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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

This is asked and answered very often. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.

Ok I dont understand this SOS!!!! Please dont tell me to restart my Ipad Cause none of the buttons work except the lock button and that will not allow me to turn it off please help all suggestions are welcome.
What you need to do is triple-press the HOME BUTTON three times. You will be prompted to enter your passcode. This will bring up the options for guided-access mode and you will then need to click "End" in the top corner.
Guided-access mode must have accidentally been enabled by triple-clicking the home button. -

my ipad will not let me open the screen to do anything due to an icloud back up message saying that the ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks.
When i tap ok nothing happens i cannot slide to unlock the screen to connect to the internet or for anyother function.
Please any help will be welcomedHey herbthewelder,
I'd give these troubleshooting steps a try, they're for when your iPad appears frozen or unresponsive:
If the device is unresponsive or certain controls aren't working as expected, try restarting
To turn off the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off the device.
To turn on the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), try resetting
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.
You can read more about the troubleshooting steps here:

While downloading iOs7 on my iPhone 4 stopped with a screen indicating it needed to connect with iTunes. I can turn the phone off and on, but the screen with the iTunes and plug does not change. I tried connecting to my computer with iTunes open and the computer message indicated that the phone was in recovery mode. Any suggestions?
Yes. Plug it into your computer and restore it. Once it's in recovery mode, that's your only option.

After downloading OS X my desktop will not restart when clicking the mouse after it goes to sleep. I have to either unplug and plug it back in or hold the power switch down until it shuts down completely and then restart. Other then that, everything is fine.
I think I have resolved my problem by uninstalling my cell phone software : Sony Ericsson PC Companion 2.0 I found that this program was interfering with windows when I wanted to turn off my computer and stopped shut down. It interfered more after two recent upgrades. I don't think Sony Ericsson has very good programer, because the more they upgrade the program the more it conflicted with Windows 7 64 bit OS I had this program on my system for a long time before the problem arose. I uninstalled the program and noticed my system ran better. It shut down without forcing any program to end. Since there was such a dramatic change in how the system worked, I tried to reset my computer to go to sleep and not shut it down. It works a designed and no longer loses power while sleeping. I didn't think an installed program could affect this feature but apparently it can.

I Got an iPad air 2 yesterday and had no problems downloading apps. The pad has been synced to my phone. Today I am unable to download apps on either devise Tried logging out of iTunes on both but now can not connect to iTunes and do not receive an error code.
Thank goodness it's not just me. I also have tried everything from previous forums and nothing works. I logged out and cannot log back in. Even changed password to no avail. How can we find out if this is an Apple problem.

i have restored my iphone 3gs and put my sim card in it but it will no longer activate. my power button is broken so i cannot turn it off. what can i do to fix this??
Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.
