Ipad shut down in middle of an app and wont turn back on or charge. what can i do?

While using my ipad watching a video on youtube, it just shut down and went black. i have tried to charge it and it doesnt even show that it is connected. Ive tried turning it on from different buttons and still nothing. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?

Reboot your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time  for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • Emac shut off, and wont turn back on...what do i do?

    I was sitting on the computer just working on some stuff and it just...shut off completely. It wont turn back on. Please help!

    Zadee...
    First elimate any power related issues like
    connections, switches, cords, outlets and so on.
    Don't forget circuit breakers.
    Other than that, you may wish to reset the PMU by
    pressing it once, and let it sit few hours before
    pluging it back in. (Unplug first, of course)
    You'd have to pull the battery, too. And usually if the PMU hasn't cleared after 5 minutes max with no power and no battery, it ain't gonna.
    The PMU button is located inside once you remove the
    memory door.
    Beyond this, contacting a Apple Repair Service would
    be the next step.
    If it's not external power (power cable, wall socket, that kind of thing) and it's not the PMU, it's almost certainly either the power supply (which end-users aren't supposed to mess with and even techs usually simply toss and replace if it breaks) or the motherboard. (Ditto.) Pray that it's the power supply, that's a relatively cheap fix. Motherboards are expensive.

  • Turn off cellular for apps and they turn back on. Fast battery drain. Shuts down at 30-40%. Battery reads "0" when but rises quickly to 17

    Turn off cellular for apps and they turn back on. Fast battery drain. Shuts down at 30-40%. Battery reads "0" when but rises quickly to 17 & charges.  Happened after IOS upgrades. Have 3 iPhone 4S for 1-2 years & 1 iPhone 5, w/same problem.

    Back up and restore using iTunes.

    We really can't tell you what happened, but you can get your iPad up again, by rebooting:
    Hold the power and home button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down) and when the Apple logo appears, let go of both buttons and your iPad will come back to life.

    I would instead say you have a problem since nearly all IPs work as advertised.  IF you do have a bad phone, take it into an Apple store and get a replacement.  Hope you didn't jailbreak your phone though as Apple probably will tell you, you broke it, you fix it.

  • My iphone shuts down and wont turn back on. any help please

    my iphone shuts down by itself and wont turn back on, what should i do?

    If you didn't see anything at all your phone has defective hardware. Connect to the charger again, and while connected hold both buttons. If the phone comes back on, but goes off when you disconnect the charger, you have a bad battery. If it doesn't come on at all you have a hardware failure of the phone. If you see any instructions on the screen, such as an image of a phone connecting to iTunes, follow them; your phone may need to be restored.

  • My phone was fully charged and suddenly shut down and wont turn back on  iPhone 4

    my phone was fully charged and suddenly shut down and wont turn back on

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps for unexpected power off issues found in the article below. 
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

    ronicr76,
    First it would be helpful if you post the exact model, year and OS version you have.
    > The LED light is on but only when the laptop is closed<
    So that light is the sleep indicator and tells us that the laptop is going to sleep when you close the lid. That would be normal behavior so the machine is still working. Possibly you're experiencing a backlight failure. With the machine supposedly "on" use a flashlight to carefully examine the screen. Do you see the desktop? Yes? machine is still running and something is wrong with the backlight.
    You should immediately backup your computer or at the very least pull vital files off. With the computer hooked to another Mac (The way this is done depends on the exact MacBook, E.g.FireWire 800 to FireWire 800.) Then you restart the computer and hold the "t" key down. This puts your MacBook into "target mode":
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    Once your files are off try an SMC reset:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Are you able to get the backlight back on by opening and closing the display? Yes? Broken backlight cable refer to qualified service place. Even if it doesn't come on and you can still see the desktop with a flashlight it is still probably the backlight. Could be the a backlight problem also.

  • My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!

    My iPhone 4 is shut off and wont turn back on, unless i plug it in an outlet & when i do that it says "connect to Itunes" & then i do that and the phone wont turn on & it shows nothing is plugged in . HELP!
    & it keeps trying to turn on but it wont . like the apple logo pops up for a minute , then turns off.

    Had exact same problem. Rang Apple support and various apple repairers. All of them said in effect, too bad, you'll have to lose everything since your last backup. It's a work phone with very important stuff on it and the latest backup was on a computer that had a virus. Convergence of crap :/
    Happened to talk to a friend who said to try replacing the battery. Did that. Problem fixed. All data saved.
    To all Apple support people: rather than say 'once it's in recovery mode you lose all data' try saying 'replace your battery and see if that works first'!!!!
