IPAD 2 FROZE

Today my ipad 2, locked up while playing with garageband.  I just got the ipad 2 last Thursday.  the home screen button will not do anything neither will the off button when I try to turn it off.  Any suggestions on how to get this thing to respond?  I have no idea what caused this.

Try hooking it up to power either the USB charger, or try hooking it up to the computer with your iTunes.  If not, you may need to do a DFU reset.  Let us know how it goes before trying the DFU.
Brian, actually, I thought this was the right answer...    as suggested... but glad you got it working none the less.

  • My ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
    The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
    Any suggestions? Thanks

  • My 2nd generation ipad is froze. it wont do anything. what can i do to fix?

    My 2nd generation ipad is froze on a web screen and i can't get it to do anything, how can I fix the problem?

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My iPad book froze/locked up.

    My iPad book froze/locked up.  It works with other applications but the book is stuck on reading a "Post-it" note.  The message on the note went blank.

    Quit the app and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

  • TS2634 my husbands ipad is froze with the message that he needs to back up to his icloud account. We have tried to switch off and it wont let us and have now got it re-charging. Any ideas?

    My husbands ipad has froze with the message he needs to back up to his icloud account. He has tried switching off and on again to no avail as message is still there and is now trying to re-charge it. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPad Mini froze while updating to iOs 8.1

    My wife's 32 gig iPad Mini was still on iOS 6 (6.1.6) It had automatically downloaded 8.1 and we tried to install it. The progress bar showed it was about 2 - 3 mm from the end when it froze. I tried attaching it to her computer while holding down the home button to put it into recovery mode and received an error message that  its locked with a passcode that has to be unlocked on the iPad before it will recognise it. Obviously this can't happen as its frozen.
    Is there any way of getting around this?  (There is about 20 gig of spare space on the device.)

    I'll give you something else for the near future ... it's doing a clean system install and it's a good way to get rid of any possible corrupted files in your system. This can also be for troubleshooting a particularly difficult problem.
    Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!
    First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.
    Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.
    On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.
    This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

    my ipad froze up?  cant do anything.  how can i restore without losing everything?

    Reset time. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds for your iPad to start on it's own.
