IPad 2 stuck in power up mode

iPad 2 stuck in power up mode. I tried shutting it Down but it just powers up only to stay in the apple logo. I connected the charger but no luck. To shut it down I need to hold down the power button and home button. Any advise?

You may have to force it into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Just tried to update my iPad 2 to the current iOS, and I got an error that said the update wouldn't install. The iPad is stuck in a funny mode with the apple and spinning wheel showing. I can't power it down or restart it. What next? Thanks.

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

My iPad is stuck in iTunes Connection Mode ?, My iPad is stuck in iTunes Connection Mode ?

My iPad is stuck in iTunes connection mode. It displays the iTune with the connection cable. It won't allow me to restore or do anything to get my iPad started.
Can any suggest anything other than holding down the Home button and the on/off button. I've tried that with no result.

LG Monitor stuck in Power Saving Mode

I just purchased an LG W2252TQ LCD monitor and I am using a mini-dvi to dvi adapter and a DVI cable to connect to the monitor. My macbook detects the monitor, but when I connect it, the monitor enters "Digital Power Saving Mode" and is asleep. No picture whatsoever. - I saw another post who was having similar trouble and he solved it by using a mini-dvi to vga adapter, but I'd prefer to use a digital connection. Any help?

kiamatthews: I bought the same LG monitor for my daughter's MacBook and I couldn't get it to work. Then I read your post and resigned myself to buying the mini-dvi to VGA adapter. Luckily, I stubbornly tried one more time and after a bit of fiddling I finally succeeded in getting it to work. (My daughter has the same setup as you i.e. LG W2252TQ LCD monitor connnected to a MacBook using the mini-dvi to dvi adapter and a dvi cable connected to the monitor.) I'm a relative newbie to Macs, so I'm not sure I've remembered all the steps, but here goes.
When I first connected them, the LG showed the background from the MacBook, but nothing else (no icons, no windows, etc). Eventually I brought up system preferences - displays, and some sort of monitor resolution window appeared on the LG, but it was different than what was on the MacBook. The "displays" window on the MacBook did indicate both the MacBook monitor and the LG, which it showed as 2252TQ or something like that. Anyway, I checked a box labelled "Show displays in menu bar", which then put a monitor icon on the menu bar. When I clicked on that, there was a line allowing me to select "mirror" which I did. Immediately, what was on the MacBook display appeared on the LG. After I picked myself up off the floor, I was able to change the resolution for the LG to its maximum setting and after about 2 seconds of blank screens, it reappeared with everything working as it should.
I hope that the above description is sufficient to get yours to work as well.

DVI second monitor stopped working. Stuck in "Power Save Mode"

I have a HPE-110f Desktop PC. Monitor does not respond to all manners of troubleshoot e.g. update SW, disconnect reconnect. power save to "never" settings. Monitor checked on VGA and works fine. Status of Video Card infers working. Considering DVI adapter to VGA as stopgap to buying new Graphics card. Not a gamer but considering upgrade(s) to Radeon HD 4350 w/ P/S upgrade as well. Help. Prefer cheaper existing equipment fix.

Try connecting them all one at a time first and make sure each monitor functions as it should when it is the only monitor being used. Then try connecting the other monitors one at a time and changing the extending display settings. This is to see if there is a point in the process where it fails. Also, it could reset the settings to get it working again.

My iPad got stuck in accessibility mode. Three finger tap NA

My iPad got stuck on the accessibility mode used to cover up areas that you don't want touched. But when I click three times on the home button times to get out the iPad doesn't respond. While in this mode I cannot turn off my iPad or use any of the buttons. I have to tap home page 3x to go to page where I can turn on/off this mode. Not happening. Battery getting low.

You don't tap three times. You double-tap with three fingers.
If you still can't get out of accessibility mode, try a soft reset. If that doesn't work, try a hard reset. If THAT doesn't work either, try restoring from iTunes.

Dell 2405FPW stuck in Power Save with MacMini (PPC w/ATI Raedon 9200)

I'm wondering if anyone is having any problems with their Dell 2xxxFPW monitors (specifically the 2405FPW) getting stuck in Power Save mode. This is a known problem with some Dell monitors. More details can be found here:
http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=dim_monitor&messa ge.id=33721
This problem only presented itself when I began to use my MacMini on my 2405FPW. The FAQ clearly states certain problem 'cards', with a generic 'ATI' reference. They recommend upgrading to the latest drivers as this has to be done in order to avoid the monitor getting stuck in this mode again. Needless to say, I ran the fix and it did resolve the issue, but two weeks later I'm experiencing the same problem. I never had this problem when I used my monitor with my Windows desktop.
My question is, is someone at Apple aware of this and is there any type of driver update/fix out there? I'm assuming anything would've already been pushed down via Software Update, and I grabbed ATI's latest Display drivers and apps on their website to no avail. (There's a ROM update, but they specifically mention this does not apply to OEM's).
I might just have to move my Mini to a VGA connection, which I really don't want to do...
MacMini PPC Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Manifisation is random, and I can't link any specific behaviour to the event. I'll be in the middle of reading an email or browsing and the monitor will flicker and just have a 'blank' screen. I can either turn it off/on or wait until the monitor goes into standby and move the mouse. Unfortunatelly its gotten to the point where the monitor just goes 'blank' every minute.
I can run the known Dell fix (a third time), but if something on the Mini is causing this behaviour its pointless to keep trying.
I'm tempted to try using my gf's Dual Core Mini (go figure, she gets the new one and I inherit hers) or just swap her 20" Cinema Display for my Dell 2405FPW

Problem with Mac Mini and LG Flatron monitor locked in 'power saviing mode'

Hi I bought my Mac Mini in July 2009 and have being having more and more issues with my monitor. Form the beginging the monitor had issues after the mac went to sleep. I have tried setting the exact refresh rate to 60 using SwitchResX, but now I can't get the monitor to display anything is stuck in 'power saving mode' - I have tried everything shutting down the moitor the Mac, disconnection the adapter, nothing works. BTW the monitor is fine I am using my PC laptop and the monitor to write this cry ofr help right now. Its a LG Flatron L222WS and I am using a mini display port to VGA adaptor.
I read somewhere that reverting to Mac OS 10.5.6 might do the trick - any other ideas?

Try starting in Safe mode and see if you can get the monitor to work again. If it gives a useable screen in Safe mode, go into Displays preferences and set the resolution to 1680 x 1050 and restart normally.
Hopefully that will get you back to where the monitor is working again with the mini.
There should be no relationship between a monitor's sleep habits and whether refresh is exactly 60Hz or not, so I wouldn't mess with SRX anymore to try and correct that problem.

My iPad is stuck in recovery mode, and wont stay turned off in order to use redsnow.

Alright so my iPad is stuck in recovery mode. I did some research and arrived at redsnow to fix the problem. In order to use redsnow's recovery fix option I have to power down my iPad. When I hold the sleep button though, no "slide to power off" appears, the screen just goes black then reboots into recovery mode 3 or 4 seconds later. Restarting it via holding the sleep and home buttons doesn't do anything. How do I get it to stay powered down? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I believe I may have used the wrong terminology. My iPad screen looks identical to the picture shown in the link, which is what I reffered to as Recovery Mode. I was looking for a way to return to normal functionality, without having to restore my iPad. I have never backed up this iPad and would prefer not to lose any information on it. If this is impossible then I will just restore it and carry on.
My main issue with restoring it is that I don't want to lose the pictures on it. If the restore doesn't erase the pictures, then I apologize for wasting your time and will be restoring it immediatly. However if I will lose the pictures than I'd prefer any other method of exiting this screen.

Hello Elliiee,
The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

My ipad is stuck in landscape mode. how do i get it to autorotate again?

My ipad is stuck in landscape mode. I have closed all open apps and rebooted, but still didn't help. Any suggestions?

Double click the home button, swipe to the right until you see the play controls for music, right next to it is the icon for the screen orientation lock. Tap on it to unlock the screen again, your icon in the right corner will be gone.
tap on the home button to close the multitask bar again.
Troubleshooting Rotation Lock
If your iPad display does not rotate as expected, verify that Rotation Lock is off:
Check the status bar for the Rotation Lock icon.
Toggle the Side Switch to verify that the device is not locked.
Note: Some apps do not rotate to match the current or locked orientation. Use the Home screen to determine Rotation Lock status.
If Rotation Lock is off and you are still unable to rotate the iPad display, restart your iPad:
Hold the Sleep/Wake button until "slide to power off" appears, and then slide to turn off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.

HT4623 My iPad is stuck in the head phone mode, how do I reverse this

My iPad is stuck in the head phone mode, how do I reverse this?. I have reset to manufacturer mode, I have slid the side button, the button is on lock rotation, I have cleaned the headphone hole . Nothing seems to work.

I had the same problem. My power cord got disconnected and the IPad just froze on this 1 screen. What worked for me is holding down both the POWER and the HOME buttons at the same time until the IPad dies, or goes back to home screen (i guess). Mine died. But thats because i had not charged it.
Anyways! Hope this helps anyone with the same problem!
God Bless,
Lexii
