IPAD NOT STARTING. IT GOES FROM APPLE LOGO TO SEARCH WHEEL AND THEN BACK TO APPLE LOGO AND DOESN'T STOP.

I'VE HAD MY IPAD A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. IT NOW WONT START UP AND IM PAST MY WARRANTY. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE APPLE LOGO AND THE WAIT/SEARCH WHEEL. IT WONT DO ANYTHING ELSE. I CHARGE IT, BUT BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO DO SOMETHING, IT BURNS OUT THE BATTERY LIFE. WHAT COULD THIS BE? I HAVE TRIED TO RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS, WITH NO SUCCESS. THIS IS THE THIRD APPLE PRODUCT MY FAMILY HAS PURCHASED, THAT BREAKS OR MALFUNCTIONS RIGHT AFTER THE YEAR WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER BUY AN APPLE PRODUCT AGAIN WITHOUT ADDED WARRANTIES, IF AT ALL. ALL THOUGH THE TECHNOLOGY IS GREAT, LET'S JUST SAY THAT I HAVE MY DOUBTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS, THE COST OF SERVICE AND THE LENGTH OF THE WARRANTIES.

Hopefully the USB port on your computer will keep the iPad charged until the restore completes. If your computer is relatively new, you should have enough power coming through the USB port to at least keep the power coming in as it is draining. What I mean is it might not be charging, but hopefully it is not draining either. Just keeping the iPad at the status quo with regard to battery power.
You should not be charged if you simply want to make an appointment to bring your iPad into an Apple Store. Was there an option to get past all of that support nonsense and just speak to a human being? Did you try my favorite trick and just dial 0?

I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond. I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears. I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac). What else can I do?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear.

Why does my Ipad keep going black and then back to the apple logo. It eventually goes to the start page but then blacks out again. I have already rebooted several times with no luck!!

Why does my Ipad 2 keep going black ahd back to the apple logo. It eventually goes to the home screen and allows me to try something else but after about 30 seconds it happens again. I have already rebooted several times?

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

My iPhone 4S on iOS7 is stuck on Apple Logo, and it goes off, then back to Apple Logo again for hours. Pressing home button together with sleep button does not help. Plugging the phone to Mac and restart does not help either. What do I do?

Have not backed up for months, so prefer not to lose the data.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time of holding both buttons. Click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers.

My computer will not start up. It powers up I get the gray screen with the apple and get the loading progress bar it loads to 25% and the screen goes black

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.

Let me know if this helps,

HT201412 I have forgotten my Security password, My iPad not starting, how to reset security password

I have forgotten my security code, Ipad not starting , how to reset security code

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then showing the apple logo?

My ipod touch will not charge or register in itunes. It keeps turning off and then shows the apple logo. I have tried holding down the button and plugging it in. It will show the red battery for a second and then turn off? Any other suggestions?

I have checked for problems with the connections, but from what i can see with the naked eye, nothing appears abnormal. It is very strange, and very sudden. It just stopped in the middle of a charge. The apple store is my next step. I just wanted to see if anyone on here had some extremely eye-opening solution or check. thanks though!
I'm also within warranty, so it's not a huge problem.

I keep getting a MSG that my device has not been backed up. Going thru manage iCloud I see ther are two backs (one for cell and iPad). They both say "incomplete ". If I delete them cloud backups will stop and I assume I will need to go back to the control.
Has anyone else experienced this?

After deleting the backups, go back to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and make sure iCloud Backup is set to On (if not, turn it on).

Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account name>Delete Account. A window will popu after you select your email account in the settings and there is a large red Delete Button at the bottom of the window.
Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Add account. Tap on Add account and start entering your email account details again. If your email account doesn't fit one the per installed accounts in there, tap on Other - and add your account in there.
I would restart the iPad after you delete the email account, just to be starting "fresh" again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button

My entire iTunes library is missing on my two non-Apple computers. My libraries still exist on my iPad and iPhone though. I tried deauthorizing and then reauthorizing my devices, uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes and nothing works. What happened?
