Ipad stopped working and wont restore

ipad was 50% charged and went blank, pressing buttons indicated it needed connecting to itunes, connected it to a mac with itunes , after an itunes update it said i had to restore my ipad at the loss of my media! had no choice so went for it (how many cherrished moments are being lost in this digital age - not just from this problem), anyway it then said the device was not eligible so i read the 'more info' file and tried a few things but still no luck
Anyone had similar?

If no joy...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is tprobably required...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...

Ipad keeps crashing and wont restore

my ipad keeps crashing and wont restore can anyone help please

Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

TS3274 ipad stopped working and shutdown will not restart

Ipad stopped working and shutdown will not restart. I synced and updated system software about an hour before problem started. The Ipad had about 60% battery life remaining when it went dark.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My iPad stopped working and I turned it off,and now after charging it won't turn on!It shows the apple logo that's all...What to do?

Have a look at the following document, I believe your iPad's condition is explained at its end:

My Ipad stopped working and won't turn back on.

My ipad stopped working suddenly and won't turn back on. What can I do to turn it back on?

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello, makaylla.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I am not sure what generation iPod nano you have so I will include a couple troubleshooting articles that may help with this issue.

HT201413 my ipad stopped working and will not start error message 1601 comes up when i try to restore any one have advice on what to do

my ipad 4 stopped working, it will not switch on, charge nor will it allow me to restore, the errror message 1601 comes up when trying to restore does anyone know how to help as i am not near an apple store to get help

You have already seen this for Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
For a new machine Error 11 !
Check Hosts file if it is diverting iTunes away from Apple servers.

Itunes stops working and wont play purchased tv shows, i tried the quicktime unchecking box fix and that didn't work. help

im new here trying to get help. my itunes stops working when trying to play tv shows and movies. i tried the quick time fix, unchecking a tab in the advanced section that didn't work for me. i have now uninstalled itunes that didn't work either. help

Try this. It worked for a few users after a drop.
Turn the iPad over and give it a very HARD slap on the back. May take several slaps.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

HT1692 My mail on iPad stopped working and if you touch it, it brings out a blank sheet and the screen is disabled. What can I do to resolve this?

Please help, mail icon on my iPad just stopped working. It displays a blank page and disables the screen when touched. What can I do to rectify this issue. Thanks.

Have you tried a Reset? [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

I dropped my iphone 5c in a fire a few weeks ago and today it just stopped working and wont turn on what do i do?

i dropped my iphone in a fire a few weeks back!! but it worked right after but now it just stopped working what do i do?

Make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269. If Apple refuses because the damage is too extensive, buy a new phone.

IPad stopped working and Apple won't do anything

Can anybody help me? Please? My iPad just went dead one evening(8 months old), there was 70% battery left but i couldn't turn back on, tried all suggestions on F.A.Q, like holding home button for 15+ seconds and tried to sync with laptop etc but nothing worked.
I contacted Apple and sent back the iPad, they never even checked my problem, sent me back a photo of the pins where charger connects which were raised and said they wouldn't check my problem as the pins were categorised under "accidential" damage and they don't cover that, I have seen a lot worse on my nephews iPod. there was only 2 adults ever using the iPad and was looked after very well, always in it's protecive case.
The person I spoke to while polite would not do anything for me, i asked to speak to a higher person and was only given a postal address for complaints.
The only options i was given was pay $341(€251) to get the issue fixed or claim off my personal home insurance or take into an agent in my local town(not an actual Apple store), the Apple adviser could give me no assurances as to what this agent would or wouldn't do. Apple basically wanted the problem passed onto someone else even though my iPad was still under warranty, an absolute disgrace, I feel i was treated with contempt. A loyal customer with 3 previous iPods and this was my first iPad, was due to get a smartphone and was going to get an iPhone but will not ge getting this now, will instead get a Samsung or HTC One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I feel my only other route left is to go to small claims court
Sorry for length of post
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply tonefox, as for careless use/abuse as you put it, I always took good care of this expensive piece of equipment, never had any issue with my iPod touch of 3 years and counting so don't see why this issue should arise with my iPad,why not the fact that it could be bad quality product as opposed to careless use/abuse.
Small claims court in Ireland is approx $100 so would gladly pay that instead of giving a cent more to apple, what good is a warranty if you can say it's actually not covered.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Trunks between 2950s stop working and wont come back

I've seen this happen on 2 different 'pairs' of 2950s, so it's time to investigate. The scenareo:
simple trunk (no vlan definitions) between 2 2950s. 1 switch looses power, when power is restored, the switch that didn't lose power doesn't pass any traffic. The interface is up (link and administrativly up) the logs don't show anything other than the interface went down and came back up. here's a sample port:
interface FastEthernet0/23
description new Feed from phone room switch
switchport mode trunk
no ip address
I'm not using spanning-tree, there aren't any redunant paths. Its worked fine for months (until a ups failure), I set up a new port on the switch and swing the cable and it comes up. Any ideas?
thanks!

Hello,
I know this is an old post... but I am posting here in case this is viewed by anyone with a possible solution.
Our organization has multiple locations configured the same way:
(x2) cross connected 2950 switches in trunk mode, configured the follwing way per each interface (fa0/19):
interface FastEthernet0/19
no ip address
duplex full
speed 100
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast
Our problem is similar to the one explained in this initial post. The switches are auto-trunked via port #19.
Let's call one switch "A" and one switch "B"
Whenever power is removed from one of the switches (Switch A), and it has completed a restart, the opposite switch (Switch B ..the one which was not powered off) will not return to a "Trunked" state. When you run the "show int status" command, it shows that the port is "connected". Even though the switch which was initially restarted returns to "Trunked" mode.
We have seen this with a few of our 2950's across the infrastructure.
The bottom line is that restarting one of the switches causes the other to lose the trunked state. The only was to correct the issue is to restart the opposite switch as well.
The IOS version is 12.1 (9) EA1d .. I know it's old, however we cannot upgrade it at this time due to policies within the organization.
Could anybody shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance..
