IPad Air just won't start up for me!

Hey y'all... I have not been able to start my iPad. I tried the solutions that were posted previously (i.e., toggling mute button followed by home and on/off button held down simultaneously for min 10 seconds). None of this will work! When the screen does appear to come to life it will just stay frozen with a weird background and apple symbol (normal white symbol) in the middle. But, from here it will not do anything else! Please help!

Howdy gbeechay,
If I understand it sounds like your iPad is not getting past the Apple logo when you try to turn it on. I would use this specific section of the following article about just this kind of issue:
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Get more help
If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Greetings Ukiahans,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your messages are not working between your iPhone and iPad. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over the following article to make sure that the Continuity feature for SMS Nd MMS has been set up correctly. Please let me know if your devices seem to be set up correctly but the feature is still not working as expected.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Cheers,
Joe

I have a problem, my wife has an ipad with photos , emails etc etc, she has recently got herself a new iPad Air, has now been using that for two or more months, more photos (new) more emails and other stuff. What she wants to do is get all she wants from ipad 1 to new ipad without finishing up with 2 of everything which happen on previous occasion. I realise that she needs to tidy up ipad 1 first and get rid of thousands of emails etc. I need help.
Thanks kiwihdrider

Hi yes that works well when the new ipad hasn't been used. Trouble new one has been used for two months or more, has lots photos email etc etc. I am worried that these will go. When we did iPhone thru same process finished up with two of most things pics and emails. The emails alone were over 2 thousand and wife reluctant to delete them all. I would and just sort pics. Any other ideas

Just won't start...

(Sounds like a car, right?)
I'm in the middle of building a simple flash slideshow, using alpha fades between images. I have three layers, the first one being text, on the timeline for each layer/image. The other two layers are images, small footprint (sized and optimized in photoshop, each less than 100k). When I hit the Enter key it will play on timeline but the preview and fla file just won't start, hung up on the first frame - can't figure this out and I'm guessing I did something somewhere but I can't find it... I've got a more work to do on this one - any ideas?
I haven't got to using any scripts yet, I figured I wouldn't have to at this point since there's really no interactivity (yet)...
Thanks!

I must have done something to the file... I started over and the new one is working perfectly... I would normally like to let someone attack the problem file, as I support the community but to be honest I'm on limited time... But thank you for your efforts! I really do appreciate it!
I guess it's like, "when in doubt, reboot"... I should have tried starting over before posting but frustration took over... me bad...
thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad. All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account. I get some sort of 90 day error message. How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

Before you can download free apps:
1. Make sure you are using IOS 7 (ignore)
2. Make sure your iPad is registered in My Support Profile.

3. Try downloading again; it should be free.
If you need serial number, it's here:

It looks like the app is not currently in the App Store, I can't find it in the UK nor US stores.
If you had previously downloaded it then do you have a copy on your computer's iTunes so that you can sync it to your iPad ?

IPad Air apps won't populate in iTunes

I have a 32gb iPad Air. I'm trying to sync it to my MacBook Pro (late 2013, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2) - mainly because I want to rearrange my apps and app folders and it's easier to to in iTunes. The apps pane on the right side won't populate. The wheel just spins - going on ten minutes now. I have 156 apps (15 gb). Everything else syncs just fine. Any suggestions on how to get them to load up in iTunes? Thanks.

I would eject your iPad from iTunes. Click on the eject icon and wait until your iPad is gone from iTunes. Then quit iTunes and restart your computer. Also reset your iPad Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
Then start iTunes on the computer again and connect your iPad with the cable and try again.

IPad air 2 won't play videos

I bought an iPad air 2 64gb (which is my first iPad/tablet) and for some reason it doesn't play any videos in any app. It is not a bandwidth problem, as my laptop will play youtube videos without any issues on the same wifi network. I already already did a full system restore (because I was having some additional issues which are now fine), resetting all settings and restarting, but the video issue continues. On the youtube app for example, whenever I try to watch a video all I see is the buffering circle spinning around and nothing happens. On a couple of occasions it started playing the video with horrible quality for just a second or two, and back to infinitely buffering, or sometimes showing a "Playback Error". I can watch 720p videos perfectly on my laptop and even my smartphone, so again, this is not a bandwidth issue. I am using the latest iOS version.
Does someone else have this issue? I find it very strange/frustrating. I tried pretty much everything I can think of...

Hi shambalough,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you have no sound from the iPad. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
