If you restored the device and you still get this, you probably need to get Apple involved. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar and let them take a look at your iPad.
Did you drop the iPad, have some sort of accident with it?

  • My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again?

    My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again....what can I do?

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take up to 10 or 15 minutes charging before it responds) then have you tried a reset ? 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.

  • My ipad just shut down and doesn't open

    my ipad just turned dark, it shut down. and ive been trying to make it work again but it just doesn't respond. i tried pressing on the home button but it also doesn't work

    Hi,
    Try restarting... hold down the Sleep / Wake button top right side of the iPad until you see the red slider then swipe the slider to the right to power off. Then hold the same button down again until you see the Apple logo.
    If it still won't turn on, help here.

  • IPad just shuts down with less than 5%

    For some reason my iPad is simply shutting down when the is still 5% battery life.  It's just started happening over the last 3 days. Also in the last three days it is really slow to pick up LTE.  Any idea?

    i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • Ipad will just shut down and not power back on until it is plugged in

    Ipad will just shut down and will not reboot until it is plugged in. Any suggestions??

    I'm going to guess that your battery isnt just dead?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider  and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
    If it won't hold a charge, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • Texting lags iPad and shuts down on me, just started.

    This just started on my iPad. When I go to text it lags horribly . It also will just shut down without warning. I've tried all the tricks that are found here. Still cannot seem to fix it. All updates are complete and have been running iso 7 for quite a while so I don't think it's that. Tried to delete the text messages I have in there now, all 10 conversations. Just locks up and boots me out. Any ideas. Keep in mind I've tried everything suggested in communities. Next step, factory reset or can anyone tell me what to do. The keyboard only lags when text messaging.

    Well tried reset and it didn't work. It only lags when I'm sending a message and the message center just boots me out.

  • Charged Ipad Mini without warning or reason it just shuts down.

    Recently been incurring an issue whereby even though Ipad Mini has plenty of charge without warning or reason it just shuts down. I can turn it back on a minute later, but it continues this cycle of randomly turning off at a time of its choosing. Help.

    Take it in for service.

  • I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without reasons during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?

    ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.

    If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
    A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
    For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
    My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up.  Then listening to several podcasts at work.
    I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
    By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
    I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
    Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle.  All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
    I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

  • I have recently upgraded my mac and ipad to IOS7 and find that Safari will not load onto my iPad. It just shuts down the app. Any ideas? I have been onto Mac who took me through a very long iPad robot, but the problem is still the same! Help appreciated

    Do you mean that you did a soft-reset ?
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing Safari via the iPad's multitaskingbar and see if it works when you re-open it :double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Safari app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    After trying the above you could also do a soft-reset (even if this is what you've already done it might be worth trying after clearing Safari's cache and closing the app via the taskbar) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPad randomly shuts downs apps and safari...any suggestions? The pad it's self doesn't shut down..it just closes the page or app I am on..

    My iPad randomly shuts down apps and Safari...any fixes for this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps might help. If you are using the iPad 1, low memory issues may be causing the app and Safari to crash.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. 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.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    Definitely do this - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. 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.

  • Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

    Is there a way to force my iPad to shut down? I "slid" to turn off three hours ago. The "wheel" is still spinning in the middle of the screen.

    Yeah, hold down the top Sleep button and the Home button simultaneously.  Continue to hold until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider midway through this process, just keep holding both buttons down until the Apple logo appears -- it takes about 8-10 seconds.  That should do a soft reset and fix your problem.

    my ipad automatically shut down and now i lost al savings and in-app purchases the battery was on 50% what happened and can i get my purchases back

    Hi there,
    This seems very frustrating. An iPad can shut down randomally for many reasons, just like a computer can crash. If it begins to happen regularly, then do contact Apple, but there are no signs that your iPad is malfunctioning from just one shut down like this.
    But, you should be able to get all your in-app purchases back. In some apps, there is a 'restore purchases' button, which will download all the purchases you made for free.
    In some cases, you can tap to make the purchase again, and it will be downloaded at no charge, however this does not happen with consumable items such as coins and credits.
    I reccomend contacting iTunes Store Support at the link below, they will take a closer look at your purchases and give you further steps on redeeming them. They may also refund you if they have been lost.
    iTunes Store Support
    You can also contact the developer of the app, and report the crash and missing purchases. If you tell me the app, I'll give you the relevent contact in the developers.
    Other than that, sorry for the problems, and have a great day,
    Nathan
