I-pad froze then screen went black with spinning icon. Won't shut down or load.

I need help!

Looking at the iPad in a portrait posistion with the front camera at the top of the display, the Home button is the rather large round button at the bottom on the front of the iPad. The Power/Sleep button is the black longish button on the rear edge of the upper right of the iPad.

    If this is a brand new iPad - and I don't know where you can buy a brand new iPad 3, I would take it back to the store before going any further. It sound like the screen dies from what you are saying.

  • 4s screen went black with the apple logo when i opened a text?

    went to open a text last night and then the screen went black with the Apple logo, but within seconds the main screen came back and the phone worked normally. Do i have a problem? It's only 4 months old so i hope its not on its way out already.
    Any help would be appricated.

    Reset your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up, you wont lose anything. If it continues to do it after that, then do a restore of your phone in itunes.

    The following is how to do a proper reset of an iDevice:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    A hard drive if it has failed will sometimes allow you to boot into windows but may not work completely (Eg: In a scenario, where system partition ;where windows is installed works fine but logical partition of hard drive has gone bad).
    On certain conditions, if the hard drive is on verge of failure may/may not respond completely. I would suggest you to run a diagnostics using Seagate Seatools which works on any hard drive irrespective of manufacturer to actually confirm if your hard drive has failed.
    Also, any hard drive can fail in spite of it been 1yr old or 1day old as its all manufactured in bulk and most of it comes from China

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.

  • New iPhone 5, worked for two days then screen went black.

    Plugged the phone in to charge, it was working, unplugged it to move it and the screen had stopped working.  Like it was dead.  I could still hear the phone so I knew it was still functioning.  Did a soft reset, nothing, no apple logo, nothing.  Turned it off.  Nothing.  Restored it through iTunes, nothing.  Should I take it in as it seems to be a hardware issue as opposed to a software problem? 

    Hello Janelds,
    I suggest this section of the iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    Press Home + Power button and see if your iOS works again if it is also not working just remove the charger it will turn off by itself when the battery will be drained then you may try it again or better way is to just open iTunes and Restore it on iOS 8

  • HT201412 My ipod screen is black with white and gray lines all over; i need help please!My ipod also won't respond to any button pressing and nothing shows/syncs on itunes

    I was using my ipod when the screen froze,then it went black/gray with messedup pixels and lines everywhere.I already tried plugging it in and connecting it to my computer,but nothings shows up in itunes, and my ipod doesn't respond to any buttons.Plus it won't go off.Someone please help; i don't want to have to replace it.

    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 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.

  • Screen went black but still works

    How do I fix iphone 4 screen went black-still works and already tried shutting it off

    I fix a lot of phones and have only experienced this once with a customer.She told me that the screen went black but the phone still rang.I thought she was just doing something wrong or that maybe she dropped it and the LCD ribbon cable hopped off the board.By the time she got the phone to me the battery had completely died as she could not turn it off.After I received the phone I plugged it in and to my amazement it came alive after the usual 5 or so minutes it takes an iPhone to fire up after being dead.So if possible let it fully drain and then plug it in at the mains charger.Hope this helps.

  • Safari quit and screen went black

    Was browsing the internet, then Safari quit,then screen went black and system froze.managed to start up again, by unplugging power, but my question is why that should happen ?.
    Any help?

    When the screen went black and froze, was the power still on to the eMac or did it shutdown on its own? I'd first check the simple stuff: check the power cord is fully plugged in. Kind of hard to do that after unplugging the computer, I know. But check that both ends of the power cord are fully seated --- some people have noted being surprised that the power cord on the eMac end goes as deeply into the socket as it does. Is your eMac plugged into a surge protector under your desk or table and by your feet when you're using it? It's not unknown for people to bump their foot aginst a surge protector's reset button. Related to that, check all the cables attached to the eMac and make sure they're fully seated.
    You may also want to run the Apple Hardware Test as a check.

  • 10.5.8 won't shut down after bad SD disk removal.  It stops all applications but won't get past the final shut down screen.

    I had a disk error with a SD disk from my camera.  Removed the disk from the card reader and got the Disk Removal Error alert.  Then the whole thing froze up on me.  Noting else would eject, No other apps would shut down and basically nothing worked.  I couldn't shut down so I removed the battery.  Restarted the computer ok then tried to repair the SD disk in question.  No luck on the repair so ejected it again.  Then tried to restart OS and it won't shut down again except everything still works but it just won't shut down.

    Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
    This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.
