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...

What to do now when my iPad won't turn on after I turn it off. It shows only the apple logo. I am sure it has above 70% charge as when I sync my iPad it shows necessary detail in iTunes. I have tried, HOME & POWER button, but did not work.

HT1222 iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.

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.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
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.

Ipad does not turn off after ios7 update

I recently updated my ipad 2 to the iOS 7.3 update. I left it alone to update because I knew it would take some time. I set it up and then had to leave my ipad to take care of my baby. I came back and it wouldn't turn on. I figured it had run out of juice so I charged it all day today and it still won't turn on.

Try rebooting...
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

Ipad won't turn on after 4.2.1 upgrade

After I upgraded my Ipad to the new os 4.2.1 it won't turn on. Before upgrading we all know that you turn it on by clicking the on and off switch or pushing the belly button in the middle, but now nothing happens at all. I have found that if I hold both for 10 seconds or so it does boots up but this can't be the norm for everybody is it? Does anybody have a fix for this? Any help would be appreciated.

I posted the same thing on another thread. Everything else was working fine and the for sure I had lots of power.
But, and I know it makes me sound like a *******......., it's back working again.
I "think" I did the following.
At the home screen, I started the photo frame and that's when it worked. Not sure what triggered it.
This is totally bizarre as I had restored the entire system and it still wasn't working. Maybe something internal is a little "loose" but I doubt there's much that ain't solid state or hard wired in there.
I am absolutely dumbfounded by this. Last one to touch it was me, my son was playing the MX Mayhem, he went swimming and left the iPad on the sofa. I retrieved it, screwed around with it and nothing. Came back to the iMac and was searching the forums. Pressed the home button activated the photoframe (somewhat accidentally) and wham, it just worked.
Strange things are afoot at the circle K.
BTW, last app I added was SBS Tour de France Tracker if that caused anything.

Why is my ipad stuck in recovery mode after IOS update? I can't get it out even after I restore. Please help!

I did an IOS update and now my iPad is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it out. I have tried to restore through iTunes, but after restore it says it is still in recovery mode. Please help!

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

IPhone 4 won't turn on after iOS 6 upgrade

After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 it won't turn on. The apple logo keeps flashing on a black screen - as it does when it's about to load, then never does load. What to do?

Hold down Power on/off and home button at same time, when apple logo appears again release.
If still have same problem force recovery mode restore with iTunes, set up as new first making sure phone goes to home screen.
If all good - restore from back up
good luck...

IPhone5S won't turn on after software update

iPhone5S is bricked after software update. Apparently this is becoming widespread. Hello, Apple?????? http://www.techienews.co.uk/976861/apple-ios-7-0-6-update-allegedly-bricks-iphon e-5s-ipad-air/ http://www.thebitbag.com/iphone-5s-and-ipad-air-bricked-by-apple-ios-7-0-6-updat e/70286

Hey Stheus3,
Thanks for the question, I understand how frustrating this may be. It sounds like the update process may have been interrupted, and to resolve the issue, we’ll need to restore your device in recovery mode with iTunes:

Help! Phone won't turn on after ICS update

So I just updated my phone a few hours ago. I looked down at it to see if it was finished and noticed it was off. When I tried to turn it on it wouldn't power up. I've had it on the charger for an hour now. When it goes on the charger, the red Motorola insignia comes on the screen but nothing happens after that. My phone may have died during the upgrade so that could be the problem. I've reset it about 10 times and it still won't turn on. Any suggestions???? I had a baby a month ago and would be devastated if I lost my pictures.

Jess i can tell Ya is Hook your Razr up to the Charger and Leave it on there for about 3 Hours Maybe 4 and then with the Charger Hooked to it Try to Restart it.. if you Can See were your at on the Download it Takes about 15 Minutes for the Initial Download then the Phone Will Power itself but should Come Back on and Finish the Rest of you Will see the Little Android Character And Below it A Rectangle box and you should see another Bar in Yellow moving across it. When that's Finished Give it some Time and it Reboot itself and then Update you Apps then it should Finished After That.. But hopefully By leaving it on the Charger for a While Will pull it out of the State it's in Now..

Ipad doesn't turn on after ios6 update

Hello
I updated to iOS6 yesterday and when I got it this morning it doesn't turn on anymore.
I let the update running during the night (because it was expected to last 3 hours) and when I woke up the iPad doesn't turn on. I tried to hold the sart button , the home button, long, short, but nothing worked.
Can you help me with that ?
Thanks a lot.
Best regards

Carioca23:
So glad the solution worked for you! I was panicking that my iPad (3rd gen, 4G LTE, wi-fi) was dead and started to search for solutions. I discovered after trying it a few times that the seemingly dead iPad came back to life and is now working full force with no problems. The battery was no where near dead, so that didn't cause the problem. It seems this problem is happening with iPad 2 as well.
I hope this solution helps many others who are experiencing this problem. I heard it worked for the iPhone too with this same problem. Good luck everyone!

Ipad mini will not restore after ios update 7.1.2

Hi Community,
I recieved a message last night about the update 7.1.2 for my ipad mini. I left my ipad on overnight while plugged in while it was updating. i woke up this morning seeing my ipad must be connected to itunes. I connect my ipad to itunes and it must be restored. Every time i try to restore and update the ipad from itunes i get the error code 3004. I have tried hard resetting the ipad, re-downloading the latest version of itunes, and disconnecting and reconnected the usb plug.

Hello, Ronald.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing error 3004.
Resolve network errors
Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, 3200, or "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build.". These alerts mean that your computer is either having difficulty contacting the Apple update server or communicating with your device.
Check your computer for software or settings that might cause communication issues between your computer and Apple or between your computer and your device.
