Ipad 2 stuck on home screen

My ipad 2 stuck on home screen. I've done a hard restart and connected through MacBook to iTunes but as I can't respond from ipad, not registering connection. Please help.

Hello jopoppy68,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPad.
I recommend following the steps below for an issue like this (you can skip the steps you have already tried):
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
You can find the full article here:

If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPad before performing the restore:

  • Why does my IPAD return to home screen randomly

    I am having problems with my IPad returning to home screen while I am in the middle of using it.  Any ideas how to stop this.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use..

  • IPad mini is stuck between home screen and multitasking

    So my iPad got stuck between the home screen and the last app i had open when i was trying to get it to multitask. I've tried to hold down the sleep/wake button and home button and it just takes a screen shot, even when i hold it for 20+ seconds. Or, it'll go to siri and when i tell siri to open any given app, she tells me she wasn't able to. I am so frustrated its been like this for almost an hour now. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down (together at the same time) until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Iphone 6 stuck on home screen. can't get to swipe bar to swipe

    New iphone 6 is stuck on the home screen. Unable to get to the swipe bar to swipe it. I have restarted it and it always come back to en extra large home screen picture. Phone rings, but unable to answer phone.

    Hello hammergator,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive but you are able to restart it, then I'd like you to try resetting it next.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • IMac stuck in home screen - mouse & keyboard don 't work after Apple Update

    I just updated my iMac by hitting the Update button in the left upper screen.
    After collecting 98.1 Mb of Update-tools i had to restart my iMac.
    During shutdown it installed the components, as normal.
    Once restarted, it brought me back to the home screen, where everything looked
    normal. Problem is, that the iMac doesn 't respond to my mouse and keyboard anymore. Cursor is left of the apple in the left upper screen and doesn 't move an inch.
    I discovered during a couple of restarts, that immediately as the apple appears in the white screen ... that Caps Lock modus is switched on. I am not able to switch it off.
    Who knows what's wrong ? Please don t tell me to use my OS Tiger cd's .. because i later installed proper Leopard version, but these cd's are not with me at this moment.
    HELP !

    Hi !
    Well, it is the wired keyboard and wired mouse. I tried as you told me,
    but up untill now there 's no difference and everythings' still stuck ..
    I tried the hardware test that you can do with CD 1 .. and everything
    seems to work fine. At that point ( after startup hold D-button ) you can
    control both mouse and keyboard.
    When you then choose for startup from Mac OS Hardrive ... the whole problem
    starts again. Caps Lock is ON ( green light ) from the moment you enter the
    home screen.
    The problem i have is that the original cd's that came with this imac intel duo core .. are OS Tiger. A friend of mine clean installed Snow Leopard 6.1. so i can t reinstall on a short term. I also would regret it if all my files would get lost.
    Thanks for your quick respond. Please help me out !

  • Ipad crashes to home screen/ password

    My iPad (4th gen) randomly exits to the password screen. I have to re-enter my password & it returns to whatever I have opened.  It does not seem to be app related.  Any suggestions?

    I don't think that I have ever heard of crashing back to the passcode screen....the home screen, yes - but not the passcode screen.
    Have you tried closing all of the apps in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad? It's easy to so, it's harmless, and it might help....
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. 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 twice.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have installed iOs8 on iPad and the home screen is locked on portrait yet all have rotate

    After installing ios8, the home screen is locked out in portrait mode yet all the apps rotate to landscape.. what's up?

    If there isn't a padlock icon at the top right of the iPad's screen then have you tried a soft-reset ? 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.

  • Apple TV stuck on home screen

    Hi. After the last update I am unable to use my AppleTV G2. It's stuck on the home screen and it is completely unresponsive. I tried to connect it to iTunes via a micro USB and it doesn't show. Any suggestions.

    It doesn't need to be specific to Kindle for it to work. But you may want to try a diferent cable in case there is an issue with the one you're currently using.
    The port you're plugging into is also key, which is why I asked, and the version of iTunes as well.

  • IPad going to home screen by itself

    While on my iPad it goes to the home screen without me touching anything

    If you mean an application unexpectedly closes and returns you to the home screen-that means the app has crashed.
    Try turning the iPad off/on.
    If it happens with one app, remove the app-redownload it.

  • My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air, My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air

    My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

    I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
    I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
    Restart, reset, restore.
