IPad 2 stopped working?

The screen on our iPad 2 was recently replaced and ever since it's not been quite right. The screen was very sensitive and would often go into shutdown mode if it's own accord. When turned off it wouldn't switch on unless connected to a power source. Now it seems to have died completely. The screen either flashes the apple logo or 'connect to itunes'. When I dud that it detected an iPad that needed to be restored but when I tried I got an error message. Basically it won't restore! Don't know what to try next. Any suggestions?

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Hey Kenneth,
So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

hi

Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

While updating software of Ipad, it stop working and only shows the Apple on screen. How can I recover?

While I was updating the software of my IPad, it stopped working and only shows the apple logo. How can I recover my IPad?

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.

Why does iPad audio stop working?

That's just it. With nothing running, the iPad audio stops working. All app runs, but nothing comes out of the speaker.
It's so bad I had to stop using the iPad as my alarm clock and calendar since it's gone mute. It has gotten progressively worse, but as I keep it updated I don't know if it is a progressive hardware failure or the new iOS updates. I went and removed almost all the apps, even did a factory reset thinking it was a memory issue...nope. Even if all I run during the day is the built-in calendar, notes, and clock, or on some days, absolutely nothing, the audio still randomly stops.
Guess it's time for a new tablet? My experience with support and this tablet in particular will weigh very heavily in my decision making though.

When audio stops working from the speakers do earphones still work?

After installing ios7, my ipad buttons stopped working, I can't even turn off the ipad. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

Try to reset the device:
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.

My remote iPad keyboard stopped working

My remote iPad keyboard stopped working

Any update?
Apple Support always say reboot your computer, unplug the keyboard, the keys are broken, ... But I bought 2 of these keyboards and they have the same frustrating problem. When you unplug them and plug them back they STOP working sometimes for long time or sometimes you have to hit the keys for a while to get the keyboard back.
Since about a year I just let my mb air powered on with my keyboard because I need my keyboard to work. (and it's hugely frustrating to start your day trying to get your keyboard working)
I just bough a mb pro late 2013 and the keyboard do not work at all.
All the best,
Sam

My FaceTime on my iPad mini stopped working help

My iPad mini face time stopped working help

Given how many people are making threads on the issue I think it's safe to guess that the issue is a systemic one on Apple's end. There's not much users can do but wait it out unfortunately.

I suggest you take the iPad to your nearest Apple Sore where one of their certified Geniuses will try to resolve the problem, May I ask how old this iPad is?

Ipad suddenly stopped working. Will not switch on

Ipad stopped working. Will not even switch on

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-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.

IPad just stopped working; will not turn on

My iPad has suddenly stopped working. I picked it up this morning to read one of my newspaper apps and it won't turn on. The screen is completely blank. It was working normally last night. I thought maybe the battery had run out so I plugged it is to recharge but it still would not turn on. Do you think it might be the battery? I bought it in July. Thought the battery would last longer than that.

Thank HEAVENS!!!! I was crying about my ipad, i have done so much to protect it and as i'm walking out of class to my car (my ipad worked during my entire class) i pull it out of its carrying case and push the home button and NOTHING! but the power and home button for 10 seconds, i'm so happy!!! I'm crying tears of joy right now as my BABY IS BACK!!!!! Now i'll be babying my 64GB wifi + 3g ipad even more she's not even a year old!!! I am so glad that i found this post in the apple discussion section. BLESS YOU!!! But how strange that this happened almost 10 days apart from yours doing the same thing. What's going on apple?

IPAD WIFI STOPPED WORKING

Yesterday morning my wifi was fine, last night it stopped working.
I haven't changed anything.

Hi Minecrafter125,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Wifi on my ipad will stop working ?

i have to contantly go to my settings & press "forget this network" & then put my wifi password in again . the wifi will work fine for a few minutes , then juss stop working . how can i make this stop & make it work all the time ? i have an ipod touch that's using the same wifi & it works fine , i never have wifi problems with it . someone help ?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
