IPad quit working but voice over works...?

My dad used his iPad all the way till it died, then when he tried plugging it back in, it wouldn't come on. So now it's just a plain black screen. We have charged it, and we have reset it numerous times and the logo only comes on for a split second then goes off. The voice over is the only thing that works. We keep reseting it and sometimes little glitches of the screen will come on for a nano-second and thats it. How do we fix this? And we have updated it on iTunes and charged it with different chargers and everything.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

TS3274 My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. How can I correct this.

My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down. Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

Hello SharonLo
Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, 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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

HT201412 My Ipad quit working - it's 2 years old. I called Apple and they basically told me that it's done. I can pay 249.00 to get a reburbished Ipad 1, or buy a new one. I want to know why it died? They mentione it could be the hard drive.

My Ipad 1 quit working after 2 years. Was never dropped, abused, etc. Just quit the other night. Went to the Apple store, called the support line and they tell me that since the warranty is up I can pay 249.00 for a refurbished Ipad or buy a new one. Not happy at all. I want to know why it quit. The person I talked to at Support says he doesn't know what happened. He says it sounds like my hard drive crashed. ANyone else have this problem? I am so mad.

If the tech you talked to said anything about a "hard drive", he was completely ignorant or misspeaking rather badly. The iPads have no hard drive; the storage is all solid state. You may wish to talk to another technician, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there's one near you, and confirm the diagnosis of a hardware failure.
If you've confirmed that it is indeed a hardware failure, then you can pay the replacement price, find an independent iPad service shop and see if they can do a repair for less, or buy a new iPad. If it were me I would put the money toward a new, or at least newer, iPad rather than pay the replacement charge. You can get some good deals on refurbished iPad 2 and third-generation iPads from the Apple Store, any of which will run the most current versions of iOS, something which the first-gen iPad will not, and would come with a full warranty (which could be extended to two years with AppleCare).
As to why your iPad failed, it's impossible to say with any certainty. The circuitry could have had a tiny flaw that finally failed, or the iPad could have received a static shock, something quite common in many areas in the winter when the air is dry. Sorry it happend to you, but anything can fail.
Regards.

Exchange email on iPad quit working

I have been able to receive and send email through my Exchange server internally to our work network and while at home since i first got my iPad 1 and iPad 2. Yesterday it quit working internal to our work network where the Exchange server is located but it still works when connected to my home network. I put my iPhone in airplane mode and turned on wifi and it works okay so I dont believe its our work network. Did the iOS 5 update when it first came out and didnt have a problem then.

Went to Apple,,,its fixed. You can do it at home. Go to settings-----general----reset---Reset All Settings.
Nothing is erased, but you have to redo your wallpaper picture in settings, re enter all saved passwords and username on saved sites. Turn back on bookmark folders, but all saved sites are still there. It doesn't erase anything permanently. He thought he was going to have to do a master reset. He did not. The master reset to factory settings is ERASE ALL CONTENT...DO NOT PUSH THAT!!!!!
CHOOSE RESET ALL SETTINGS.

Ipad air - starts only "Voice over" after resume from stand by

Hi
today, in the morning, i used as always my ipad air (ios 7.01) for about 2 hours (i have it from about 1 month).
I saw only some email (no app installation, no IOS upgrade, nothing else)
Then i put it in stand by mode (by pushing on/off button).
When, in the afternoon, i resume it from stand by (pushing home button) , appears only the white page of "Voice over" and No other thing is possible to do.
I restarted it many times (on/off button + home button pressed for 10-15 seconds until apple icon appears) but after the startup only "Voice over" appears.
Only "Voice Over" is possible to use.................like the first time 1 month ago, when i started up it ad i have configured it for the first time.
It seems that the ipad was reset.
How is possible ?
It could be a IOS failure problem ?
or It's possible that someone has tried to unlock the ipad by pressing the wrong pin code and the ipad now is blocked (No one message that says "ipad blocked" or similar appears.........only "voice over" starts)????.
Please, someone can help me to understand what happened, in order to know what to do ?
How can i try to recover all the data in the ipad ?
Thanks a lot for all
Mario

I confirm that Only the white "setup" page starts (where is wrote "Hello > slide to set up").
The ipad seems that was resetted.
How is possible ?
It could be a IOS failure problem ?
or It's possible that someone has tried to unlock the ipad by pressing the wrong pin code and the ipad now is blocked (No one message that says "ipad blocked" or similar appears.........only "initial setup" starts)????.
I read in a manual of IOS 7 that is possible that the device is resetted after 10 times with wrong pin but after 5-6 times should appear a message with "ipad blocked for n° minutes" or a similar message.
No message appear....only the white page of the setup appears.
Please, someone can help me to understand what happened, in order to know what to do ?

IPad Quit Working

I was using my iPad and it shut off with 10% battery life left and now it will not turn back on. I tried charging it and nothing happens. It appears to be dead and is only about 2 months old. Any ideas???

I tried that several times today and it did not work. It would not even charge after it shut off. I just tried it again and it finally turned on. It is now charging. Thanks.

TS3274 sound does not work on my ipad, it worked early today, but now it does not, not sure what happen

The sound on my ipad quit working, i was using it, and i went to do something, i come back to use it and now it does not work. I have it on full volume.
Can anyone help me please.
Thanks Louise

Try this - 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.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

How do I turn off voice-over service on ipad?

(Please read this all the way through to avoid confusion)
When I watch certain channels On Demand on my ipad, there is a voice-over for the visually impaired .. a narrator that describes every single little thing the characters are doing (which is amusing when it's a sex scene). I cannot find any way to turn this off. It's mostly on USA network. I have looked everywhere and can't find a way to shut it off. It has nothing to do with the closed-captioning, or the audio/secondary audio function. Can anyone help?

See this Apple doc -> iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
VoiceOver
If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default; to enable it, tap Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device by pressing volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on. Try triple-tapping using three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain. Or connect the device to iTunes (see above).
You can also turn it off from iTunes, that document goes over that too.

iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle.
I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together.
- I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

HT201274 My new iPad (2) had a message that the iOS called Voice Over was running, everything locked up then went black and now it will not power up. I have plugged it into a power supply & still won't work. Any ideas?

My iPad2 has a message that iOS called Voice Over was running, tap three times to turn off. Nothing will respond, it finally turned black and now iPad won't turn on at all. Any ideas?

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!
