Ipad 2 won't power on after ios 8.02 upgrade

I have a 64 gig Wi-Fi only iPad 2. I recently upgraded to the iOS 8.02 operating system. The problem I am having is that I can no longer get the device to power on properly. I start the device and get the apple icon as usual; but instead of going to the home screen, it simply goes black after a minute or two. I tried restoring to factory settings and that didn't seem to work. The only way I can seem to get the device to start up is by plugging it into a usb drive on the PC. Even doing that though, results in a trial and error process.
Is anyone else experiencing that and has anyone found a solution? Very frustrated.

Hello there, elissafromdenton.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting iOS when it is not fucntioning as expected:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
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 it 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. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Upgraded my ipad4 from ios6 to iOS 8 because the new WSJ app required it. HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!! I can maybe understand some apps being slower but not Safari or Chrome. Apple must be throttling back the ipad4 processor even more with ios8 to force an upgrade to the next gen iPad whenever it arrives.

Rand new iPhone 5s black, dead, won't power up after ios 7 upgrade...held down top button, held down home button...dead. Was fully charged, working fine tell said yes to upgrade. HELP!!!

Brand new iPhone 5s dead, black won't come on after ios update...is fully charged, was working fine till said yes to upgrade. Did not watch process beyond seeing Apple logo appear, left it alone, came back, dead. Tried holding top button, tried home button, nothing...HELP!!!

If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone even if it’s plugged in, you may need to put it into DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. If you have to put the device in DFU mode, you will most likely be unable to back it up.
Hold Power button for 3 seconds and then the Power and Home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
Release Power but keep holding home until the your iPhone shows up in iTunes.

IPad 2 won't install apps after ios 5 update

after iOS 5 install, apps are getting "hung up" in the waiting stage

Try restarting your iPad or resetting it and see if that helps. Restart first.
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.
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.

Ipad 3 won't turn on after ios 6 update

Hi everyone,
I'm at a loss! My Ipad 3 was working fine, and while fully charged I updated to ios 6. Everything worked fine and I was thrilled. While at work, I turned the Ipad off, and now it won't turn back on. I've tried resetting, I've tried holding down the power and home buttons (repeatedly, and for long time periods), and I've tried to restore it using my itunes but my computer now doesn't recognize the device when I plug in the USB. but I never see any reaction by the device. No icons on the screen, no apple logo, no nothing... I updated itunes, still the same problem. So, for the life of me, this fully charged relatively new working fine 64G Gen 3 Ipad just won't turn on. Any additional ideas before I dare to go in the crowded apple store for assistance?
Thanks, Hollie

Try this...
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...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

IPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case

iPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case cover, it does not do it all the time but enough to concern me

Take both the iPad and the Smart Cover back to where you bought them for an evaluation. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5

ipad 2 lost music album artwork after ios 5 upgrade. After the first Sync, 90% of my albums had blank covers.

I had the same starting with taking 3 times synchronisation before my music library was visible on the Ipad-2. Though during synchronisation I saw the tracks being updating, they were nowhere to find . After a manual sync through devices->NNNipad->music and checking the entire music libary, I got my music libary back with the exception of roughly 10% of the artwork was not transferred. It is not related to manual added artwork as most of them are correctly transfered.
Checking the through info on the albums I found the following issue:
In the past i_tunes kept the artwork related to the album, now it keeps it attached to the several tracks. So when in I-tunes right clicking an album and selecting "info" you will find no artwork there. But when selecting a track and right clicking it (choose again "info" here it is you will find the artwork. The missing artwork in iOS5 is related to the fact that in the library on my computer the albums had artwork, but the tracks were not showing it. Adding again (with i-tunes 10.5) the artwork and re-sincing solved the problem for me.
I hope this will help you, Hedzer

Iphone 4s will not power on after ios 6.1 install

iphone 4s will not power on after ios 6.1 install. Help

This did not help the problem. History of problems that started 3 days ago before 6.1 update:
Problems started with the phone dropping a call I was on. Then the screen had lines across it, then screen turned solid green.
Powered off the iphone.
Happened again 4 hours later. Dropped call then garbed screen. Powered off then back on all seemed okay.
Applyed 6.1 yesterday in the morning. Phoned died completely last night. Plugged in over night and it came back up this morning.
Phone is still within 1 year warranty. Should I just have Apple replace the phone (Warranty runs out in 2 weeks)

Aluminium iMac won't power up after shutdown

Hello All,
I have bought a 20" aluminium iMac for my parents a couple of weeks ago. It went extremely well in the first few days, but I got the complaint from my parents that it cannot power up after the proper shutdown.
It is very strange that it won't power up after it has been shutdown for a couple of hours, unless I unplug the power cord and plug it back in after a minute or so (reset the SMC)
Oppositely, I can power it up normally right after it has been shut down for a few minutes. But never overnight.
I have tried everything I know about like reset SMC and PRAM, as well as running apple diagnostic. Symptom still persist (though the diagnostic says nothing wrong with my hardware)
Is there anyone facing the same problem as me ?
Thanks
Jimmy

Thanks Guys.
I haven't called Applecare yet. However, I have reinstall the system and done a software update EXCEPT the latest imac software update v1.1 released recently.
See if anything good happen tomorrow and will let you guys know
by the way, it's really great that Mac retains everything including the Apps and Desktop setting after the reinstallation......... nothing has to reinstall except the OS itself

Dictation problems after ios 8.2 upgrade

I rely heavily upon dictation.   2 problems occur (at minimum) after ios 8.2 upgrade to iphone 6. .
1. I wasnt going to add this dictation bug (feature ;-)) b/c couldnt reproduce the seemingly safari bug when got home, but as I was dictating my first sentence for defect here, it happens in this text box on any line. :-(.
    1. Problem is as soon as dictation types in word Or words, when I hit done, it erases what was just dictated! Happens on even just ine word. (So having to manually type all of this n I stink at typing ie, time consuming).
    2. I can paste characters from noteoad into here...so must be dictation relateD...it seems.
2. In the calendar textbox, when I dictate a new event (doesnt happen in location textbox) and the last character before it fills up the end of textbox (just before the "x"), it automatically does "done" for me (the beep sounds), it stops dictating, but more annoying is it will no longer allow me to continue dictating in that new event's top textbox. That means I HAVE to type n I stink at that. To reproduce I simply:
1. press the microphone.
2. Type in only numerics 1 thru 17....it will dictate to look like this: 123 456-789-1011 1213 1415 1617
3. "Beep/dong" noise because it hits the end of characters alowed it seems n decides it is "Done".
4. press the microphone
   5. "Beep/dong" noise because it wont let you dictate any more of anything said.
I Couldnt find the entry where google shows someone with what looks like same issue/bug/defect/feature # 2, so entering this.
I Have warranty but cant figure out how to get phone support for iphone (only mac ...last year).
I don't seem to have this problem using i notepad in phone when he gets to having to wrap. :-)
I Have not trieddictation on my mac...yet.
CAn someone help on these issues please? Thanks!

Hey Markwoody,
Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
How to reset
- You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
- To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

Sound problems after iOS 4.2 upgrade

Experiencing very poor sound quality after iOS 4.2 upgrade. Bad eq, left channel dropping out, sounds like heavy reverb. Exists with iPod and pandora apps. Tried adjusting eq in settings. Any one else having problems?

Yep I just upgraded to new OS 4.2 on iPhone 4 and I get this static buzz sound when talking to people it's really annoying and sound quality is terrible. What happened? I went back to the shop and they said it's the upgrade and that there is an issue with it. They also said there is no point leaving the phone with them as they can't fix it that it's upto apple to release a patch for the problem. Can we get a fix for this soon before I damage my ears?
