Ipad will not turn off at all and it still has the buffering symbol

My iPad will not turn on or off.  It has the buffering symbol and it has been buffering for hours.  What do I do?

connect your ipad to itunes and just restore or update it
if that does not work put your ipad into DFU mode
here are some tips:_
Here are steps to get DFU Mode: Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. (some turn off iPhone here, I do not) Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release power button, keep holding home button until iPhone recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes 10-20 seconds of holding the home button. If the iPhone screen is black (blank) the iPhone is in DFU Mode.
You can search the Web for even deeper DFU Modes that can be achieved to avoid iTunes Errors, but these techniques cannot be discussed on Apple Supported Forums.

  • My 1st generation iPad will not turn off and I have performed the suggested fix. What's next?

    My iPad will not turn off. I have done the off/sleep key home button procedure.

    Just to be perfectly clear, when you reset the iPad by hod,ing down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen, that is a way of resetting the system and restrating the device. If you want to shut down, you still have to hold down on the power button until the slider appears and then slide to the right to shut the iPad off.
    IS this what you are doing and if so what happens when you try to shut down? Describe what happens in detail.

  • Will not:  rotate screen, camera will not work, iPad will not turn off, sound on side.

    Ipad will not turn off, sound button does not work, camera does not work,  screen will not rotate.  Have new ios and update.

    Reset all settings

    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • My iPad will not turn on at all any suggestions?

    My iPad will not turn on at all, any suggestions??

    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Ipad will not turn on or do anything. I have the new Ipad.Whats wrong?

    Ipad will not turn on. I have the new Ipad. Whats wrong? Its only about 2 months old.

    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 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 3rd generation ipad will not turn off.  When I try to power it down it doesn't work.  I have tried restoring it and everything.  Please Help!

    Plz help.

    Hi BigMIKE29,
    Not sure what "everything" entails, but have you tried a reset (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and conintue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears the reset is in progress, and the Home screen will display shortly.

  • IPad will not turn off screen is white  showing correct time only

    I tried to relocate my settings icon and it dissapeared tried turning off and on then iPad siezed up with a white screen. The only thing at the top of the screen is the correct time. Can this problem be rectified. Help thanks

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
