IPad won't switch on

My iPad 3rd gen won't switch on this morning. No idea why... Tried charging it, but no response.
Any thoughts folks?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

IPad won't switch to landscape view

I updated my software on my iPad and now it won't switch to landscape view and it is not locked. I have restarted it and cleared my memory and checked every setting that I can think of. What now?

By restart do you mean a reset ? If there isn't a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Is there is a lock symbol then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

IPad 2 safari won't open and iPad won't switch off IOS 6.0.1

Hallo everyone,
Pleease can anyone help as my iPad 2 is no longer recognised in iTunes.
I cannot open Safari - it immediately returns to the home screen.
It will not switch off so that I can reboot it.
Aaaargh !
Thanks

Quit ALL apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.
Do this for Safari as well. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

IPad won't switch on and has a picture of USB and iTunes

My iPad wont switch on and has a picture of a USB port and iTunes

You might call it a software check, but I would call it a problem with the iOS software and you will probably have to restore your iPad. Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes and see what happens.

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.

IPad won't switch on, got the waiting circle thingy all the while. How do I get out of this?

Any help with iPad2 that has locked itself completely? First time I've used it. Stuck, not used Apple product before

You need to activate it in iTunes on your computer before you can use it. Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. When are connected you will be prompted as to what to do next.
If you have activated it and it will not turn on hold down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad and the round home button at the bottom of the iPad - at the same time - for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then let go of the buttons and see if the iPad will now start.

My ipad won't switch on

My ipad was left on charge overnight as it was below 20% - it was working prefectly yesterday. Now it seems completely dead. I have tried pressing and holding the on button on the side and I have tried to re-boot it in some way by connecting it to itunes on my PC. Still as dead as a dodo. Help!

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Make sure you hold both buttons down together until you see the Apple Logo.

Ipad screen has frozen and won't switch off

My ipad has frozen on me in the middle of watching bbc iplayer and won't switch off either. Any suggestions.

It does not specifically address this particular issue per se. Rebooting/resetting the iPad is a basic troubleshooting tip that covers a whole multitudes of little issues in iOS devices.
This is a screenshot of page 127 of the iOS 6 support pdf manual for the iPad.
Here is the manual.

TS3274 My iPad won't charge. Tried more than one charger.

My IPad won't charge. I tried more then more charger...help. Plus the sound is missing for general purposes...lock sound, etc. already tried to turn on an off.

Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
In terms of the sounds, have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT408

IPad won't sync; instead tells me it's syncing for 2 seconds without result

Hey
Here's my problems:
My iPad won't sync to my computer
My iPad's system time and calendar are messed up after the failed sync
What happens:
Once I connect my iPad to my PC with iTunes open, it starts to sync
Two seconds later, iTunes tells me the sync is finished
Nothing new appears on my iPad, and my the time and calander are messed up
What I've tried:
manual sync (only works for music)
reboot computer
reboot iPad
uninstal and reinstal iTunes
Info (I'm not sure if all of this is relevant):
I just switched from a 32 bit Windows XP to a 64 bit Windows 7 computer
My iTunes is also 64 bit
I'm using a different iTunes account than I was before, and I've successfully downloaded books and music with it on my iPad
The iTunes library is in the right place (it's on an external hard drive, just like it was on my old computer); I can see and play the music on my computer
I have an iPad 1, latest software update available; it's about two years old
My computer runs on 110 volts, and my iPad runs on 220 volts (I baught my iPad in europe and moved to the US a few weeks ago; I use an adapter to recharge it, which works fine)
I've tried different USB ports, all directly in my computer
Thanks for reading all this :/ Hope anyone knows whats wrong. Thanks

SOLVED
It turned out I still had apps installed from my previous iTunes account (Apple ID), which I deleted and re-installed using the new account. After that, it worked perfectly

My iphone won't switch on. I've tried holding the power and home button more than 30 seconds up to a few minutes but it didn't switch on and went straight to recovery mode. It died of a low battery and i already fully charged it i checked with my itunes.

i really need help here. I have only used my iphone for a month. my iphone won't switch on. it died of a low battery and i've already fully charged it and usually before it even fully charged, it will turn back on right but in my case nothing happened. i've tried holding the power and home button for 30 seconds and up to 2-3 minutes but no logo appear. it went straight to recovery mode. there's nothing wrong with my cable, i checked with itunes and this happened once a week ago but it did switch back on after i tried a few times but now it just won't switch on. i also have problems with my screen as there's some noises to the screen (i hope you get me) and when i turned the camera on, it was as if the whole screen is shaking. i'm currently studying in the middle east and there's no apple store here so i cannot use my warranty. i will only be back home in summer. please help me what should i do to at least switch my iphone on first.

I did a little bit of experimenting. I have an iPad original versions myself. I took it out of the box knowing that I haven used it in months and I expected the battery to be dead and sure enough the battery was as dead as I imagined it would be. For the first 30 minutes I experienced exactly what you are experiencing, but then the iPad suddenly powered up on its own (like it does when plugged into the charger) and I am using it now to type this response to you.
My point is that I am starting tothink that your battery has suddenly died on you for some reason or you have a hardware problem now. I would still try leaving the iPad charge for a while longer - maybe even overnight - and then try again in the morning. Unplug the iPad and try resetting with the home and sleep buttons. Try plugging the iPad in again. Unplug it, try restarting again. Let it charge for a while again.
After trying something like that, if it still will not start up, then I think it's time for a trip to an Apple Store and see what the Apple Techs think.

View won't switch while in mail setting.

My view won't switch in my mail setting, but will in all other settings. Any suggestions?

If the Mail app isn't rotating whilst everything else does, then try closing the Mail app completely and see if it rotates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Wifi symbol missing plus phone won't switch off

My wifi symbol is missing from my screen, settings say I am connected, checked this by turning cellular data off and I can still access Internet so I must be connected.
Thought by switching off and turning on again might fix the issue but my phone won't switch off.
Can anyone offer any assistance? I'm a bit of a technophobe so need things in laymans terms please.
My iPad and another iPhone are showing as connected to the same wifi network.
I have an iPhone 5.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

HT4061 iPad won't reboot

iPad won't start up after being switched off

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