IPad was stuck on movies and got stuck on reboot! Help!

Please help!

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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I was watching a movie and was kicked out.  Now it doesn't show anywhere - not even under purchased movies.  Where is my movie?

    I was watching a movie and was kicked out?  The movie does not show under purchased.  I went to settings, itunes, check for rentals and nothing happened.  I have disconnected it to.  Where is my movie?????

    If the reset doesn't work:
    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
    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. Data will be lost.

  • I was surfing the web and got tricked into downloading MacProtector.  It says my system is infected!!  Of course they want almost $80 to register the copy that is on my laptop.  Is this a good product??  Should I get something else, like Norton antivirus?

    I was surfing the web and got tricked into downloading MacProtector.  It says my system is infected!  Of course they want almost $80 to register the program so I can then use it to clean up my machine.  Is this a good program??  Should I get something like Norton antivirus instead??

    Yes, turning off Javascript works, but turning it on and off is a pain if one has to make a trip to the preferences.
    Why many recommend the NoScript Add-on as one can drag a "allow" button to Firefox's toolbar and turn on scripts on a site per site, case per case basis.
    NoScript also protects against other web nasties, like Clear click jacking and zillions of other web based trickery.
    http://noscript.net/changelog
    Apple Support Forums works fine without Javascript running, I do it all the time, it also supports HTTPS encrpytion too.
    It might be that I'm not seeing a lot with Javascript and other things turned off, but the post box functions etc. work just fine.
    Maybe Apple is heading towards no scripts running on all their products?
    First Flash gets the axe, then Java is coming next and perhaps finally Javascript? hmmmm?
    Smart move possibly.
    Nope it's the same with it on or off.

  • I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

  • I was getting into iPhoto and got a message iPhoto needs to b e updated.  I clicked and all my pictures are gone.  How do I get them back?

    I was getting into Iphoto and got a message that Iphoto needed updating.  I complied and have lost all my pics?  Where could they have gone?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

    Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.  It installed and restarted the ipad. Passcode is now needed. What to do?

    If Find my iPad was never set up then scroll down & follow the directions under Recovery Mode:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    If it was and the activation lock is triggered, then you will need to know the original Apple ID & password that her grandkids used to set it up or have them sign into iCloud & remove the device from Find My iPad before you can Restore it.

    I had an itunes redemption code for a movie and got the following message, "code redemption temporarily unavailable. try again later."  How do I get my movie?

    Hi r.viel,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your redemption code.
    The following article should help you with this:
    iTunes Store: Invalid, inactive, or illegible codes
    If you're still unable to redeem your code after verifying the characters in the code, you'll need to contact iTunes Store Support for help. You'll need to provide a digital image of the front and back of the gift card as well as the sales receipt for the purchase of the gift card.
    Contacting iTunes Store Support
    Go to the iTunes support page and select your iTunes country.
    From the iTunes support page, choose Contact Support on the lower-left side of the page.
    Follow the instructions to get iTunes Store support assistance.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • I just bought a apple tv, i was watching a move and i had to re start the move several times because it would stop in the middle of the movie? does anyone know what to do about it?

    I juar bought an apple tv. I was watching a movie and it stopped several times. I had to re-start it again and again. Does anyone knows why and how can I correct it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network
