IPad been wiped, won't do anything

My father managed to wipe my iPad clean after I had problems with charging. Now it does nothing.
Whenever I plug it in, it shows the empty battery sign, but even if I charge it all day, it only shows that sign. I can't boot it at all, it's now just an expensive paperweight.
There is no warranty, so is there anything I can do at all, or do I just have to buy a new one?

Macbook pro has been wiped after an update and the majority of the contents has been lost, is there anything I can do to recover it?

I updated my laptop and now the majority of my contents seem to have been wiped. Is there anything I can do to recover them? My backup was connected at the time so it has already backed-up to the computer's present state. Most photos/ Itunes/ Mail... has been lost. I have some stuff but only up until January 2013.

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

After using my iPad this morning and came home in the afternoon, I noticed when trying to log in, there was a keyboard in the bottom half of the screen and my four digit passcode in parenthesis right above. If freaked me out. No one was home at the time, or had access to my iPad. I wish I had taken a screen shot.
The only way I could get out of it was to shut down and log back in. What could had caused that?

My ipad won't open anything. I get the message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. This device has beern plugged in and has 62% power. I can't access any buttons including the ok under the icloud backup message.

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.

My apps won't download to my iPad but will to my phone. When I put it my password, it just stops and won't do anything else????

Unless you have a copy of the iPod backup file from the previous computer installation you are out of luck. If yo have that file move it to your computer and restore the iPod from that backup. Otherwise, you will have to restore the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod and lose all your app date. That is the way it is since the iPod sees the computer as a new computer/iTunes library. That backup file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

My iPad is like it has been wiped clean - none of my photos, contacts, apps, etc are showing. It is like it is brand new. Is there any way to recover my pictures, downloads, etc.?

My iPad is now like it has been wiped clean - none of my photos, contacts, etc. are coming up - Is there a way to recover this?

Then I'm sorry. If your iPad is wiped clean and you have no backup, there is nothing to help you.......Of course you can redownload your apps, even paid for ones, as long you use the same Apple ID you purchased them with. As for pics, music, etc., you can sync them back to your iPad via iTunes and your computer. You can set up your mailboxes again, but there's no magic bullet to get your iPad back easily. Let this be a lesson and once you've got your iPad set up again, BACK IT UP.

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format"

I have restored my iPod classic and everything has been wiped off, now when I connect it to the laptop, iTunes doesn't recognise it and windows won't format it, an error message comes up "unable to format". Can someone please help me sort this problem, it's so frustrating!!!!!!

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

How do i know if my stolen ipad has been wiped?

have been able to locate it and the police are willing to help but i have lost the location and am not sure if it is just a dead battery or a wiped ipad>>>police are waiting on me but i have had no location for 48 hrs...BTW wifi only

You can't tell the difference between the battery fully draining, the iPad being wiped or restored to factory defaults or turned off. For al three conditions, the iPad will send back a signal unique to your iPad.

Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

HT1414 I've done all the steps to update my ipad. but it tells me to connect to itunes which it is, but it won't do anything.

Please help! I've updated my ipad and it tells me to connect to itunes to complete set up. I am connected to itunes. I don't know what to do! it won't do anything! I've restarted my device several times and it does the same thing. It will say "connected to itunes" for about 2-3 minutes, then it just changes to "connect to itunes" but the device is still connected!

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

My macbook pro was recently returned to me after having been lost. When I turned it on and connected to the internet at home, the activation lock activated. I put my password in and the macbook went to a white apple screen and now won't do anything else. How do I get it running again?

Take it to an Apple Store. Take proof of purchase with you.
