ipad 2 appears to be locked-all i get is a revolving circle?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

You have to connect your iPad to your computer now and restore the iOS software with iTunes. The update went bad. Read about how to do it here.

Can't delete email messages - get dreaded multicolor revolving circle and have to force quit

Hi -
Since installing Lion, there are two messages in my Mail inbox that I cannot read or delete. Whenever I try by putting the cursor on either one of them, I get the multicolor revolving circle symbol. I then can't access anything in Mail or stop the revolving circle. I have to go to Force Quit to end the Mail application and start over. Then must be very careful not to highlight one of those messages or the same thing happens over and over again. I suspect these two are some kind of spam or virus mail because I don't recognize the sender or the bit of the message that shows up in the inbox.
Please help - this is quite annoying. I will be most appreciative of any ideas.

Hold the phone. This, apparently, may be a Bell Sympatico server issue after all. I've tried to get in contact with their support people and the message says that they've been having problems. Also, my wife, who only uses .mac mail recieved the same email (that keeps popping up in my inbox) and has had no issues. I retrieved my mail using my newer imac as well and the same problem occured there. Hence, it is probably not an app issue, but a server issue.
Thanks all for your help. Hopefully I can resolve this with Sympatico.

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the iPad restarts, so you will be able to use the device again

My ipad won't charge. All I get is picture of white USB cable and iTunes Logo.

My ipad won't charge. I must admit, I did use it until there was only 2% power left and then went and plugged directly into power and not through PC... but it won't charge. All I get is picture of white USB cable, an arrow and the iTunes Logo. I have turned off and on again as previous posts but all I get is the picture of the USB cable, arrow and iTunes logo. Please help...

I have been relatively patient - 3 hours on charge but all it does is show picture of USB cable and itunes logo. It it were charging you would think that a picture of the charge would come up to indicate status of charge - wouldn't you think?

I tried to update my ipad 2 to os7 and all i get is a black screen with iTunes logo and charger icon. I tried the power button and home button together. Help!

HT1363 My ipod click wheel will not go into disk mode. All I get is the red circle with the X in it

The only thing my ipod will do is display the red circle with the X in it. I can not put it in disk mode, it won't work. It's the 160 GB classic with the click wheel. Is there anything else I can do to make it work again?

If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode, the Hard Drive is likely damaged and beyond repair. You'll probably want to have it replaced either by Apple or a third party service center.
Here are Apple's repair prices.

My ipad is no longer showing all my videos, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. I can't do anything to get all my videos to re-appear. any help?

My ipad is no longer showing all my vidoes, even though i have the option set to show all, even those that are in my cloud. Any suggestions??

Close the videos app and launch it again.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
if they still don't show up after you launch the app again, try resetting the iPad.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Is there any way to lock an IPAD app? by lock, I don't mean password protect. My toddler is constantly scrolling out of her apps and this causes frustration as she spends all her time bringing the IPAD back to me to get back in to the app she was playing

This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.
