Ipad will not turn off when charging

When I charge my iphone I usually plug it in and then power it off. I cant get this to work with ipad; it will power down and then restart. How can I get it to stay powered down?

I posted this on a previous thread a couple of day ago. I don't know exactly how the iPad is supposed to behave, but I was able to experience not being able to shut the device off completely after having done so for weeks. For me it seems to be related to how low the battery is ....
I experienced this very "bug" last night when I started to charge my iPad. I had never run the battery down to 15% prior to last night. When I plugged in the charger, it would restart, I would turn it off and then it would restart. I repeated this process four or five times and then I finally decided to simply put the iPad to sleep while it was charging, before I turned in for the night.
When I woke up this morning to a 100% charge I decided to try to repeat the process. I unplugged the iPad from the charger, turned it on and then turned it off again. Then I plugged the charger back in, the iPad turned on and then I turned it off and it stayed off this time.
My suggestion is that it may be that the iPad is supposed to behave this way when the battery power drops below a certain percentage. I too became a bit concerned at first as I had never experienced that before. Now that the iPad is behaving "normally" again, I am assuming that the device is built to continue to restart while recharging when the battery drains to a low level.
Mine is working fine, no worries and all is good. Happy holidays!

  • Apple watch will not turn off when charging

    Hello everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone is able to turn off their apple watch when it is connected to the charger?
    When I connect the charger, the "power off" option is greyed out.. If I disconnect it from the charger and turn it off... It will turn itself back on as soon as I re-connect the charger!
    Any tips would be appreciated!

    Mine doesn't turn off but the display goes off after a little while. I believe that that's the design behaviour. Any specific reason why you want to turn it off on the charger?

  • My ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink

    my ipad will not turn on when I plug it up, the screen light will occasionally blink, thank you

    First, make sure that it's fully charged.
    Then, 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 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.

  • My IPad will not turn on, despite charging all night and all day. The Apple pops up then goes away. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

    My IPad will not turn on despite charging all night and all day.  The Apple pops on but then shuts off again.  It does this over and over. How can I fix this and get it up and running again?

    Hey bellabeanbag,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps if your iPad is not responding:
    iPad: Basic troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3274
    If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If iPad still won't respond after you restore it
    Follow these steps, testing after each:
    1. If you receive an alert in iTunes while restoring your iPad, refer to this article for instructions on how to resolve common issues with updating and restoring.
    2. If you cannot restore your iPad in iTunes, or if iTunes does not recognize the device, refer to this article for instructions on restoring using recovery mode.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • My Ipad will not turn off what can I do ?

    My ipad will not turn off what can i do ?

    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.
    Let it start up completely and then you can shut down if you want to do so.

  • My green webcam light will not turn off, when I go into photo booth, it says my webcam isn't connected

    My webcam light will not turn off. It's been on for days, even when I restart and shut down my computer. It also will not allow me to use the webcam, it says that it is not connected.

    I have a similar problem. The caps lock light stays lit. If I accidentally hit it, I won't be able to type anything for a few seconds, like the keyboard is frozen.
    Strangely it doesn't seem to cause me to type in all caps. The light's on, but it doesn't cap lock.
    Also strange is that this started happening recently, after upgrading to 10.5.7.
    Any answers welcome - thanks. I think these may be related issues.

  • My iPad will not shut off when I close it?

    My iPad does not shut off when I close it

    It is not supposed to swtich off when you close the cover. It is supposed to go to sleep. Check Settings>General>Lock/Unlock>On. If the iPad is already set up that way, try resetting the device and see if that fixes it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

  • 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.
