IPAD completely unresponsive!!! Help!!!

I just plugged my ipad into a docking station linked to my tv. Done this many times no problem. However when i took it out a few hours later (didn't use it in the meantime) it was dead, i cannot get any response from it, plugged it in, no charge, nothing. Any advice?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. Happened to me once, about 6 months ago, and a reset got it working again.

Ipad completely unresponsive

I went to get the new ios running today and hit a problem. itunes synced to my device just fine and I proceeded to download/backup for an hour or so but when itunes started to prepare my ipad for the goods, the ipad switched off and I got a, "New hardware detected" or "Apple recovery mode?" pop up. I installed/updated the drivers and whatnot so I don't get the "New hardware detected" or "Apple recovery mode?" anymore. Instead I just get nothing as the I pad wont show up in itunes. The I pad itself didn't just turn off, it went completely unresponsive. It will not: respond to a charge, turn on, or 'reset'. An attempt to plug into different usb does nothing. I wonder why.

I am not sure if your problem is the same as mine was; but my iPad wouldn't turn on or charge or anything either. The solution I found was to plug in to charge; hold the home button and the power button for approx. 15 seconds. Mine started up just fine and has worked perfect since then.

My brand new iPad air has been completely unresponsive and needed to be "hard restarted" twice. What's up with that?

3 days ago, I purchased a new iPad air. I've installed a few apps on it and have generally just been playing with it and figuring out the OS. Yesterday, while trying to wake it up, I noticed the device was completely unresponsive, the screen would not even turn on. I executed a hard restart (held down home and power for 10 sec). That seemed to remedy it for the time being but it just happened again. I'm concerned that this will be a recurring issue and will possibly degenerate into a bigger problem for my new iPad. Is this a known issue? If so is it a hardware or software related problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My first reaction is, "Yuck!"
I participated not too long ago in this forum in a discussion about music on web pages. All people with any real experience were pretty much against it, unless there was some control that would allow someone to turn it off and on, with the default being set to "off." And, of course, I don't know how it would play with assistive technolology for blind persons (were I to add sounds to one of my web pages, my sister, who is blind, would kill me, I think).
You would need Ogg Vorbis audio in order for it to be playable in all browsers and I should mention that I had a real nightmare dealing with video on this website because I had not told Apache that Ogg is a supported MIME type. Firefox would not play the Ogg video until I edited the .htaccess file thusly:
AddType audio/ogg .oga
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType application/ogg .ogg
I would imagine you would have to do that on any Apache server. Until you did this, your audio might be playable in some browsers and not playable in others, like Firefox.
But be careful to not totally distract people with your audio files. Audio on a website brought up in the workplace is usually a clue to others nearby that the person is not working for the company. The first thing that happens is that the page is immediately closed when audio starts coming out of the speakers.

Hi, I tried installing the new software update to my iPod touch this morning, got an error message that I could not finish installing it, and now my iPod is completely unresponsive, please help? It won't respond when I plug it into iTunes or anything.

Hi, thank you for helping me! Every time I plug it into the USB port of my computer, there is an image on my iPod touch that shows a USB cord and tells me to plug it into iTunes, but it is completely unresponsive. I have tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously for 15 seconds, and that does not do anything either. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

HT5622 I cannot get my new Apple ID to show up on iCloud! I've signed out and back in using the new id and even turned my iPad completely off and on. Nothing works. Help!

I cannot get my newly changed Apple ID to change in I cloud on my iPad. I have signed out and back in with my new id and have turned off my iPad completely and back on....it's still showing up with the old user name in iCloud. Help!

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I'm running Windows 7 and occasionally, Firefox will become completely unresponsive and grey out, then none of my programs will open at all, including the Start menu, forcing me to use a hard restart and shut down. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not able to close and restart Firefox at all, since the computer becomes completely unresponsive, save for mouse input. Task Manager is also of no use.

Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...

After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

My ipod touch is completely unresponsive. Will not turn on at all even when connected to power???? HELP!!!

ipod touch completely unresponsive. will not turn on at all even when connected to power source. is it dead????

After charging for at least an hour reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to your computer and see if iTunes sees the iPod. If it does try restoring the iPod via iTunes. If it is not visible try the following to make it visible:
--- Place it in recovery mode via:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
--- Place in DFU mode:

Ipad screen unresponsive.cannot get past trust screen to access computer reset

Ipad mini screen unresponive. soft boot makes no difference. trying to access itunes to reset ipad but cannot get past the trust message request. using the imac that normally syncs with the ipad. any ideas

Hi gav55,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to use your iMac to restore your iPad, but the iPad is unresponsive.
If you have restarted the iPad but the behavior continues, try to reset it next:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the touchscreen is completely unresponsive, the advice in this article may also be helpful:

If the iPad continues to be unresponsive, you may need to place the device in recovery mode before restoring it:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
All the best,
Jeremy

2011 MacBook Pro 13" Keyboard and trackpad completely unresponsive. Only external devices work. Restarting does nothing.

Was in the middle of a game and the keyboard and track board became completely unresponsive. Was using an external mouse so I was able to restart the computer but it has done nothing to help. Also closed the screen for a while to no effect.

Hello Alaskanpro,

HT201263 None of the above have worked. Ipad completely bricked. This began when merely updating IOS software as instructed. Now Apple want to charge me for using their crappy software as directed. Surely this is not only immoral but potentially illegal.

Read: iPad Troubleshooting Assistant
That procedure eventually leads you to the need to restore it.
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the iPad in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

Completely unresponsive iPhone 3g, decides to work 8 hours later

So I have seen a lot of posts on people's 3g shutting down, but I have yet to find this exact behavior elsewhere although it happened to both my wife's and my iPhone.
I took my phone off the charging cradle (with full charge) last night, made a phone call, locked it and put it in my pocket. 10 min later, I was going to make another call and the phone was completely unresponsive. It would not even respond to a hard reset. I plugged it into my MacBookPro and the computer did not even recognize it and the phone would not charge, anything. I had a busy night so I set the phone aside and got back to it several hours later. When I did the phone was still unresponsive and it was warm as if it had been in heavy use. I then plugged it into the computer again and went to bed. Shortly after I woke up this morning (8 hours later) the phone turned on, completely dead and began charging. The phone now seems fine.
So if you have the behavior above, put it on the sync cradle and walk away for 12 hours or so and it might come back. This has happened once before to my wife's iPhone and as yet we have gotten no response from Apple as to what might be causing it. Right after my phone died I scheduled a call from Apple for this afternoon so if I get any solutions or information I'll post it here later today.

It was suggested to me that this may help you. I hope that it does!
Personally I'd do a 'reset' - it's something that's worth doing whenever you see anything 'unusual', 'unexpected' or 'unexplained', and although there are other 'deeper' remedies (such as 'restore' and 'restore as new', and DFU), a simple 'reset' (done every month or so too) seems to help to keep our iPhones healthy, even when 'Other' memory usage gets high or when there are poorly-developed Apps causing 'issues'.
I hope that it is not a distraction and helps with your problem.
Good luck!

Firefox UI becomes completely unresponsive in debugging mode.

I'm using Firefox for web development, and set breakpoints with the `debugger` keyword, or the breakpoint UI in the "Debugger" section of the "Web Developer" tools. I remember that used to work on older versions, but recently it started failing.
Now, when I enter debugging mode (i.e. hit a breakpoint), the debugger UI shows, but it is completely unresponsive: the mouse cursor doesn't change when I hover over any widget, and clicking does nothing.
The only way to get any response is CTRL-r refresh which *sometimes* works, as well as closing the entire Firefox window. Of course, that means I can't actually use it to debug.
I'm on Xubuntu 13.10, running latest stable 64bit Firefox (3.1.1). I also verified the exact same bug on the nightly binary release (firefox-36.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2) as well as the recently released Developer Edition (firefox-35.0a2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2).

HI dunpealer,
Please do file a bug on this and make sure to put version 35 and os linux on bugzilla.mozilla.org.
I am sorry it took so long to get back to you, I also can reproduce this. If you have any questions about bugzilla we are happy to help here as well.
Thank you!

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hook your iPad into your computer and open iTunes. GIve it a couple of minutes to get going, then click on the name of your device, then the main summary page. In the middle you'll see a software update button/area. Click on check on updates and update and follow the prompts.
it SHOULDN"T redownload but if you've already got it should just install.
I'd suggest that you first do a complete sync before you update, that way you have a good backup to restore your device from if the upgrade doesn't go perfect.

Can't browse/navigate in time machine - finder window completely unresponsive

Since installing Mavericks when I go into time machine the finder window is completely unresponsive. I can go backwards and forwards and the date menu on the right seems to work fine, but I can't interact with the finder window. This essentially breaks Time Machine for me.
I'm running time machine via USB on a LaCie Terabyte drive.
I've restarted the machine and am about to do a hard shutdown, maybe that will help...

This is not a solution, ratehr it is an observation. Often when I open Time Machine, the screen appears to freeze, but if I wait (patiently or not so patiently) it will eventually "come to life" and begin paintingthe screen. The same thing often happens when I select a date back in history. I finally figured out the delay is caused by TM tracking through all the thousands and thousands of multi-links to create the model of the system at a given point in time. In other words LOTs of CPU cycles, not to mention disk I/O are being used. My case is aggravated by the fact I am using a Time Capsule and all of that I/O has to go through the WiFi network.
