Ipad keeps restarting/resetting. restored and now wont even activate

Today my ipad suddently started restarting/resetting every few minutes. I did a restore to factory settings and now it wont activate and continues to restart. Is there anything else to try other than bringing it in?
thanks

If you can't restore, the next step is to go into recovery mode as described here.
Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once for it to succeed.

Tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?

tried to update to ios7, phone was restored and now wont activate?

You have run into Activation Lock, a security feature of iOS 7 designed to prevent activation of lost and stolen iPads. there is no way around Activation Lock. You need to know the Apple ID and password used to set up the iPad originally.
What do you mean when you say the original Apple ID is disabled?

Ipad Crashes with blue screen and now wont turn on

After updating the ios 8.2.1 any app I would use, a blue screen would come up covering the whole screen then crash, I would have to restart, and do the whole thing all over again. I then thought to try to reset all settings but as soon as I opened the Settings app, the blue screen would come up and I would have to restart the ipad again. And now after many attempts my ipad will now not switch on. I can't connect it to the PC, nothing appears. And nothing happens when charging it.

Hi there iroam_soljah,
I understand that your iPad is not responding when you attempt to power it up or charge it. You will want to use the following article for information on how to address this issue:

Device into Recovery mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

My iPhone 5 has reset itself and now won't activate..tried also activating through iTunes but says try again later... I desperately need to use my phone!!! Help appreciated x

It keeps saying searching for signal too....

According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error21
Error 21- These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
The error on the Mac is odd though. 2100 is not in the article. What version of the Mac Operating system are you running?

TA25361 did restore and now wont recognize the sim card and wont start up the phone

hello

How did you get your iphone unlocked?
ONLY the carrier to which it is locked can unlock it.
No one else at all.
Any other method is a hack and will result in what has happened in your case.

Ipod wont sync and now wont even show up on itunes

I recently got the new iMac and tried to upload music onto my old ipod. when i plugged it into the USB drive i chose to "erase and sync"and it erased all of my music off of the ipod and then was unable to load anything. I then plugged the ipod back into the computer and it shows up in the finder but not itunes.
I have the latest version of itunes (9.2) and my itouch can download just fine.
my ipod is the classic 160 GB and it isn't that old (about 3 years). I'm not really sure what to do so if you could help me out that would be great! Thanks!

Hello bluebubbles4bees,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting the iPod with it still connected to your Mac? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Does that do any good?
If not, perhaps take a look at this Apple support document.

this actually happened to me a few weeks ago when i wanted to try out the Firefox Aurora (step before Beta). i also attempted system restore to no avail. so what i did was actually reinstalled the older version i was working with before in frustration with Aurora. magically with no explanation, all my bookmarks came back to life. so yea try and reinstall the older version and see what that does. good luck!

Have you try a reset?
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Looking forward for your response!
This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

My 2nd gen iPad woke up today and decided to load all 800 apps, I've reset,restored and still the minute I connect wifi it's off to the races. It is set to manually manage apps. Are there any suggestions?

My 2nd generation iPad woke this morning and decided to load all of my apps 800+ and I don't seem able tp prevent it. It is set to manually manage apps and I have reset, restored and the minute I reconnect with wifi it starts loading. Any suggestions out there on how to correct this?

@chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
...the other folders did copy okay though!
It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
@ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
@alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
Thanks for the help!
(pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
