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 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. -

HT204204 my apple ipad wont turn on after i updating software
sir,my apple ipad (16gb) wont turn on after i updating software correctly.so still this off position and cant any work.please help me
You took a backup on your computer's iTunes prior to starting the backup, or you have a recent backup ? And you have all of the apps that you had on the iPad in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library - none of your iTunes downloads are included in a backup (that contains apps settings and contents), the restore will look to pick them up from your iTunes library.
To restore select the iPad on your computer's iTunes and either do File > Devices > Restore From Backup
Or on its Summary tab in iTunes click the 'Restore Backup' button -
my iphone 6 wont turn on after i updated it and it doesn't work to restore it in itunes. what should i do?
Hello ole-gunnar,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is unresponsive after updating your iOS version, then I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting below.
If you see a black screen
You might need to charge your device before it can turn on. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad), then try turning it on.
You should see a battery icon while your device is charging. If you continue to see a black screen, reset your device. If your device doesn't respond when you press buttons
Your device might not return to the Home screen when you press the Home button, wake from sleep when you press the Sleep/Wake button, slide to unlock or power off, or it might appear frozen. Try these steps:
Restart your device.
If it still doesn't respond, or if it doesn't turn back on, reset your device.
If your device gets stuck during startup
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.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

IPad2 won't connect to anything after IOS6 Update
Does anyone have any new ideas how to make an iPad2 connect to iStore/Internet/Anything network related after IOS6 Update?
I have tried everything listed on Apple support Communities including release and renew IP/ Hard reset the iPad/ Let it go completely dead and give it a full charge before rebooting/Forget the network and rest all my settings/ Hard reset my router/Change my router channel. Shall I go on
I even took the ipad to the Apple Genius Bar (or should I say Minimum wage High School student bar) Where I was told that the ipads connection problem was my router when they couldn't get it to connect in the store. I guess if I had a better router the ipad would be able to connect to it half way across the city.
Well anyway it's been 3 months since I have been able to use my ipad2 so if no one here knows how to make it work it's galaxy note 10.1 time I already upgraded my iphone 5 to the Galaxy Note 2 and couldn't be happier with a phoneNot related. Installing Lion doesn't make any changes to a wireless router and/or wireless network the computer is connected to that Lion is installed on.
Try resetting the router. Disconnect all computers and devices connected to your wireless network. Unplug the wireless router from its power source to turn it off. Do the same with the modem the wireless router is connected to. Wait a few minutes followed by plugging your modem back in and allow the modem to completely reset before plugging your wireless router back in to power it back on allowing it to completely reset with a new connection with the modem. Follow this by reconnecting every computer and device to your wireless network. -
Why won't my ipad connect to the wifi after I updated it to ios 7.1.2
Never have I ever been so upset at an electronic device
If I had know my iPad would cause such distress after this update I wouldn't have attempted it.
Because of this bloody update a plethora of problems have appeared and I have no clue how to fix it.
Firstly at around 4 this morning the wifi connection was spotty so I had to keep on reconnecting, but that was fixed by getting closer to the router. I thought "problem solved no biggie right?" WRONG! I left my house and came back expecting the wifi to connect again, but that was a fail.
SOOOOO I figured I needed to forget the network and log back in. That didnt work. I should not have done that. I should not have done that.
I got the *Unable to join the network. Dismiss* crap over and over and over again!
So now I figured I'd look up some help! Why not give it a go! So i got that whole (general- reset- reset network) with or without turning on airplane mode bs. Didnt work. Trust me I tried both.Twice.
Since that didnt work I figured a reboot would. No. I turned my iPad off so many times I probably gave the poor thing whiplash
Now this has been going on all day and I finally gave in an hour ago and decided if I restore it to the ios 7.1.1 it'll work again.
Well it must be my freakin birthday cause guess what? You have to turn off your icloud's "find my ipad"to restore and to do that you need a........ wait for it................. internet connection!!!! Brilliant. Just. Brilliant. -_-
Do you FEEL my struggle yet????
all my problems...... they all lead to that dang wifi connection. Fml.
Any of you magical smarty pants have any help for this poor unfortunate soul.
it would be much appreciated.
AmnestySome things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

IMessage problems after iOS6 update
Hi All,
Is anyone getting similar problems to this after iOS6 updates?
My iPad is used on 2 wifi networks, my home network and work wifi, I pick the pad up on a morning, shove it in my bag, go to work and pick up the wifi there, carry on as normal, repeat in reverse when heading in the opposite direction.
On iOS5, my iMessages would simply carry on the conversation when rejoining either network *there is no 3g connection on this ipad*
Since updating, I leave for home, get to work and iMessage refuses to resume, messages stick at about 90% sent, then fail, I head home , rejoin the home network and boom, it just picks up where it left off
When at work, occasionally it might start working after 10 minutes or so, but today i've been sat about 5 hours so far, no dice
I have tried just about every combination of restarts, resets, updates I can think of, including, changing the DNS on my device to the same one I use at home *8.8.8.8* , shutting iMessage down, renewing the DHCP lease, Hard resets, soft resets , forget wifi network, restore network setting you name itI've tried it
Under iOS5 I had used the device for months without doing so much as a power down and not had one single 'not delivered' failure on an iMessage, since iOS6 I've probably had abotut 50% service from this.
As far as I know, nothing has changed on either wifi networks, everything else works fine on the works network, browings, itunes, app store, skype etc etc.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next, and yes, I've also done a full device restore as well for good measure, with a iCloud back up, again, it restored, went to messages and it just sat there doing nothing until I got home , where the messages just sent first go.
Massively frustrated in what I can only see as something that's been introduced as a result of this iOS6 upgrade.I may have found my own answer... it seems that anything less than 3 bars of wifi signal after rejoining a network and the message wont send, I switched my device off, moved closer to the wifi router, tricky as it's in another building, rebooted, managed to get two bars of wifi, still wouldn't send, moved even closer to the router manged to just get 3 bars and pow, the message sent right away!
Moved away back to my normal desk at work, signal dropped to 2/1 bars of wifi, however now, messages continue to send now.
Clearly when I'm at home I'm only ever a few feet away from my wifi router and always have solid 3 bars of signal, not the case at work.
However, this still only appears to be something that's been introduced at the iOS6 update as this was never an issues prior to this, but has been an issue right from day one after updating! -
Xperia doesn't turn on after falling out of my pocket
My Xperia doesn't turn on after falling out of my pocket (2' off the floor), the only thing that's on is the flash led. Is there a solution or should I just replace the phone?
I tried to use PC Companion after charging the phone over night and still the same problem; the flash led is the only thing that's on and PC Companion doesn't detect the phone at all, so I guess I have to replace my phone.You have to perform a software repair using PC companion.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien -

After iOS6 update I can not play youtube from Opera Mini,- neither link to youtube works and embedded video as well. It works ok with Safari, but I prefer using Opera Mini instead. If there is a embedded youtube video or just a link to m.youtube, Opera mini does nothing:(
