IPad 1 will not turn on

Tried to reset by holding the on/off button and it did not work.  The device is charged.

While I usually use the round button to turn on my iPad, if I have reset it (red slider to turn it off), then only the power button in the upper right corner will turn it on. The round button won't power on a powered-off iPad.
Could that be the problem?
You say that the device is charged, but if it won't power on, how do you know? Going through the steps of charging the device is not the same thing as actually charging the device.
If you have a bad charger or bad cable, it wouldn't charge, and nothing would tell you. I once had a small piece of paper stuck in the slot where the cable plugs in and the connector wouldn't really connect, though it clicked into place as if it were connected. It didn't charge. Tweezers fixed the problem.

  • My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

    My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

    Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

  • IPad 2 will not turn on after Update 6.1

    I've read a number of discussions on the issue, but have yet to find a solution. I am using an iPad 2 (version A1395).
    I tried updating to iOS 6.1 over WiFi. It seemed to download well enough, but when it got to the installation, it kind of fried my iPad. It will not turn on. I have tried all of the following:
    1. Pressed the Home button (also tried holding it down).
    2. Pressed the Power/Sleep button (also tried holding it down).
    3. Pressed both at the same time (also tried holding it down).
    4. Held the Home button while connecting to a PC via USB.
    5. Held the Power/Sleep button while connecting to a PC via USB.
    The only action that gets any response from the iPad is plugging it into power brick via USB. The Apple logo will appear briefly, indicating that it's powering on, and then it shows the "Connect to iTunes" graphic. Nothing more. If I unplug from the power brick, the screen turns off. Plugging it into a computer after that does nothing.
    Any ideas?

    I had this same problem with my iPad 3 (Verizon 4G, wi-fi) when I did IOS 6 update wirelessly last night.  I could only leave one device at a time attached to my computer, so I left my iPhone 4S plugged in to the computer and updated to IOS 6 via iTunes.  The iPad was updated over my home wi-fi network and plugged in to the charger. I was prompted to enter my Apple ID & Password on both devices and appeared to have successfully upgraded to IOS 6 on both devices.  I even was browsing in briefly in the new Safari on the iPad to make sure it was working, then left it to finish charging overnight.
    I left both plugged in overnight and when I woke up this morning, the iPhone was fine and the iPad won't turn on.  I tried the remedy here by holding down the power & the circle button in front for 2 mins and still didn't go on.  Please help!

  • My iPad mini will not turn on for some reason.

    I have my iPad mini, and for some reason it will not turn on. Earlier this morning it was on and working just fine, and then when I got it to get on it and play some games, it was not responding and the screen was just blank. I have no idea why it is doing this, so I would like to have some answers, because in class we need it sometimes, aka algebra. (It is my own personal iPad, not the schools)

    What have you tried ?
    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take about 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have an iPad that will not turn on. Suggestions?

    I have an iPad 2 that will not turn on. It has been charged overnight, but no response. Thoughts?

    Try a reset.

  • My ipad mini will not turn on at all. Please Help!

    Hello everyone, this morning i went to turn on my ipad mini and it would not turn on. I've tried plugging it in to both the wall and computer and leaving it there for around 30 minutes and still nothing, black screen. I've also tried holding the power and home button for 10 seconds or so and still nothing. Nothing happens when I plug it into my computer. The ipad is just about 2 years old now and i'm starting to think its just dead. But before i throw it out is there anything else i could try? Thanks to everyone who responds.

    Try again to charge your iPad using the wall charger that came with it. Plug the charger into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes then reset the iPad by pressing and holding both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If the iPad does not restart make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support..

  • Ipad air will not turn on past apple logo and there is a blue flash and then it's restarts again

    my iPad air will start loading but will not make it past the apple logo. in which the screen turns blue and then in restarts from the beginning any help will be greatly appreciated

    Try to force it into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the USB cord. Press and hold the home button while plugging in the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • HT4061 My iPad Mini will not turn on or power up?

    The other night when I was updating an app, my iPad Mini screen click and was frozen.  I took a trip to the AT&T store yesterday and they tried to recharge, but the screen was frozen.  As of today, I can not power up.
    Please Help!
    Thank you,
    Sherry

    Is the screen lighting up when your press the home button?. If so a restore would be the next recommended route.
    To restore your device fallow the steps below. please note your computer will need internet to do this.
    1. Put the device into restore mode. [ Power off Device, Then hold home button with device still powered off. then plug the Data Cable into the device. keep holding the Home button.{ please note the data cable needs to be plugged into the computer for this.} After that you should get a iTunes icon on the screen.]
    When that comes on. the computer should respond to it. and iTunes will let you know there is a device detected in a Restore mode.
    2. Click on the restore button on the computer. Then iTunes will start to download the new iOS for your iPad. [also note. if the download takes longer than 20 mins. You will probably have to put the device back into restore mode.]
    If after this step if your device is not responding then there is a hardware problem. and not a software problem.

  • Ipad mini will not turn on or connect to itunes.

    I turned off my ipad mini after closing the appstore and when i went to turn it back on, the apple logo started up for a few seconds, the screen brightness lights up, then it goes dim and stays on the apple logo forever. I have tried letting it go dead but when i boot it up it does this everytime. I cannot reset it because Itunes wont detect it. I have a warranty but i dont want to have to come to that, can anyone help me with this?

  • My IPAD touch will not turn on?

    We have tried the 15 second holding down the power and home key but it does not start.

    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 another cable
    - 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.

  • My iPad mini will not turn on, after the newest update.

    Just received an iPad mini from my mother the iPad was up and running.  I put the new update on it Friday night and Saturday evening plugging it in but it still had battery.  Went back to look at it and it was black screened plugged in. I unplugged try to turn it on and it won't start up.  I tried to reset with holding the off and home button. Didn't work. I tried to reboot with the computer and it does even recognize it.

    Hold the home and power button downs until it restarts. If iTunes doesn't recognize it, get it replaced. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
