Ipad won't turn off or connect to my computer

My iPad 2 all of a sudden won't connect to the internet.  Tried to reboot, but it won't let me.  Tried to connect it my MacBook Pro and it won't recognize it in iTunes.  It wouldn't even charge it.  What do I do?

If you are running v10.6.8 or less, try reinstalling the AMDS...

You may have an app running..  try force quitting >    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.
When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed.  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.

  • IPad won't turn off so I can reset it because my emails are locked.  I receive emails but can't access them, can't delete, can't send.

    My iPad won't turn off so I can reset it.  My emails are locked but I receive emails as the number of emails increases.  I can't access these emails, I can't delete the one email showing, and I can't send an email.  The screen is locked.

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

  • Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

  • I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

    I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • IPad won't turn off, returns to Connect to iTunes screen

    My iPad constantly shows the Connect to iTunes screen. Okay, something's wrong, although I have no idea why . But I won't be near my computer for a few days. I'd like to turn off the iPad until I can, as it asks, Connect to iTunes. But the iPad2 with recently updated software won't turn off.
    If I hold just the power button for 6 seconds, the screen goes black. Good, I think, it's turned off. Then 4 seconds later the Apple logo appears and then the iPad shows Connect to iTunes.
    If I hold both the power and Home buttons for 10 seconds, the screen goes black and then immediately the Apple logo appears and returns to Connect to iTunes.
    How can I get the iPad to turn off and stop burning that image into the screen? Do I just wait for the battery to die?

    Got the same problem with my Ipad2.  Went do to the update late last night and it seems like the update quit half-way through the install. 
    Now all i get is the screen telling me to plug in the USB cable and connect to itunes.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.

  • IPhone won't turn off or connect to wifi

    I have the iPhone 4S and recently I have been encountering many problems with it. I don't know if they are problems with the hardware or the software but my facetime hasn't worked in a long time and my phone hasn't connected to wifi in the past two months. Sometimes the wifi turns off and the bar to turn it back on is dim while other times it turns on but doesn't acknowledge anything to connect to. In addition to the wifi troubles, occasionally my phone screen will turn black for a little while and after some time it will just wake up. The apple doesn't show up so I guess that means the phone isn't turning off- just sleeping. Also, sometimes my apps won't load and then my phone will automatically turn off. Occasionally, my touch screen stops acknowledging the fact that I'm touching it and other times my phone won't turn off. I hold down the power button and the phone just goes to sleep. As you can probably tell, my phone has been malfunctioning a lot and it is starting to get annoying. I don't want my apps to be deleted because I have some that are no longer in the app store and they are very valuable to me. My computer storage is too full to back up my phone though. Any suggestions on how to solve my problem without deleting my apps or any of their saved information?
    Thanks,
         A frustrated iPhone owner

    Hard to tell. However, since the iPhone does not have user serviceable components, once you opened the device, you forfeit any warranty or post warranty support from Apple and the forum. You are going to have to try and figure this one out on your own.

  • My iPad won't turn off. It won't turn on either. It keeps going from the apple to a black screen. What can I do?

    I can't get it to turn off. It just keeps going back and forth from the apple to the blank screen.

    You will probably need to restore using Recovery Mode. You use this method when the iPad is not being recognized in iTunes. This will totally erase the device, but if you restore on the computer that you normally sync with, you can restore from your backup when you are done - but only if you have a backup.
    You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Ipad won't turn off or turn on.

    I have an iPad 2 that will not turn off or turn on!  The screen is black with a white broken circle spinning around in the middle of the black screen.
    I have tried shutting it down and turning it back on but it is frozen with the black screen.

    Mdmbutterfly-
    First be sure there is enough juice in the battery.  Connect it to the wall charger for at least an hour to be sure.
    Try holding down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds.  Does an Apple logo eventually appear?  If so, the iPad should restart in a couple of minutes.
    What happens when you connect the iPad to your computer and run iTunes?  Do you get an error message?  If not, does the iPad appear under Devices at the left side of the iTunes window?

  • HELP!!!!!! MY IPOD TOUCH WON'T TURN ON OR CONNECT TO THE COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!

    boxa little bit of My ipod's backlight has been going off at random moments. If I locked it for a few moments then unlicked it then it would be fine, or sometimes I would have to charge it. Recently, when this happened, after locking it, it did not fix itself, so after locking it a second time, I tried to unlock it but nothing happened. I tried to charge it and nothing has worked. It doesn't even connect to my computer (Windows XP). It is a very old iPod touch. 2nd Gen, 8gb. iOS is I think less than 4, although it could be iOS 4.2.1 because it wouldn't let me update. It's been dropped quite a few times but that never really did much damage except for a dent in the outer shell. I had no case, it was my friend's old one, and I could not buy one because it was too outdated. The only liquid that has gotten on it is hairspray, and it was just  spray from when I was doing my hair. I don't know what to do, and I had no warranty, I don't have the origional box, and I don't have the reciept. Also, I do not want to have to send it in and pay any money, because I don't even have enough money to get a phone plan, and that comes first.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch Won't Turn On Or Connect To Any Computer
