Is there a trick to fixing an iPad Air (Wifi version) that won't turn on?

I am out of the country for work and while I was in Singapore, I was in the middle of using my iPad (Facebook browsing) while it was plugged in and it shut off unexpectedly (it was at roughly 93% battery as I was getting ready to catch my next flight). The screen didn't just go black, the ipad shut off completely. That was more than a week ago and it won't turn back on. I have tried pushing and holding the power button and also pushing and holding the power and home buttons together for at least 2-3 minutes. I also had a friend plug it into his laptop (he has iTunes installed) and it didn't even recognize that the iPad was plugged in. And finally I had it plugged in overnight to see if that would help and I tried all of the above again just to make sure.
I am now in the middle of the Indian Ocean without access to any Apple service locations and was wondering if there are any secret tricks that may help to get it working again. I've tried everything I can think of. The only thing that had changed was that I had installed Adobe Photoshop about 10 minutes prior (the $9.99 version). Of course the only other computing device I have is my iPhone. I fully expected to use my iPad exclusively on this trip but that obviously failed. 
Are there any secret tips or tricks that I missed that may kick this thing back into gear? Of course my warranty expired about 2 months ago. I really want to get this iPad to function again before I begin my journey back home (30 hours of flying time and about 2 full days of traveling...). I have another 2 weeks without anything but my iPhone and slow internet before I leave to amuse myself since all of my books and movies were on that thing. God, the trip home will really suck without books, movies or music.
Please help!! Please.

There is no light when charging the iPad Air.
If you think it has been well charged, try holding the home and on/off buttons down together for 10 or 15 seconds.  Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.
By the way, you should be using the original supplied Apple charger and cable that came with the iPad.  It should be plugged into a wall outlet.

  • Just got my new iPad Air and noticed that the screen calibration is off. For example if I select the circle to place something there I have to select outside of the circle to make it happen. I did not have this issue on my previous iPad.

    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.
    If no fix, Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Is there no GPS in ipad air wifi model ??

    Is there no GPS in ipad air wifi model ??

    Apple doesnt integrate GPS on the Wi-Fi only models, but you can still locate yourself and use Location Services only if you are connected through Wi-Fi. The cellular + Wi-Fi models are more precise on GPS as they use cellular signals to pinpoint accuracy of your location.
    If you meant GPS as in Car GPS, it will be tough to drive with a Wi-Fi only model as it will keep asking you to join networks every time your out of range. Otherwise, the Cellular+ WiFi can support connection almost wherever you go.

  • HT5163 is there any difference in packaging of ipad air for india and other countries because i've not gotten a sim eject tool for my IPAD AIR? Plz help.

    Is there any difference in packaging of IPAD AIR for INDIA and other countries?
    because i didn't get any sim eject tool in IPAD AIR box.

    I believe it does vary depending on country.  A paper clip works equally well, so I wouldn't get too upset.

  • Is there a cost to upgrade my Ipad Air to A8 processor?

    Is there a cost to upgrade my Ipad Air to A8 processor?

    Yes. You must sell your iPad Air, wait for a new model with the A8 CPU, then buy it. They aren't upgradeable.

    Is there any way to find an IPAD AIR  (it shows offline in "find my IPHONE) ... moved and I'm hoping it's misplaced rather than stolen. 

    If it shows as offline there is no way to find it using the web.

  • Iso8 will not download to my IPad Air WiFi it says notification has been sent and I must wait, 24 hours?

    Hi, last night I updated my IPhone 4s over home wifi with no problems but I've also been trying to update my IPad Air WiFi which just keeps telling me that a notification has been sent to Apple and I have to wait for the update, that's been the case now for over 20 hours? Please can some one tell me what I've done wrong and how do I fix it.
    MAny thanks.... marldonman.

    Last night there weren't millions and millions of new iPhone users all trying to activate and fill their devices up with apps.
    This is prime time for the US but also early evening in the UK and europe, so lots of people all trying to do the same thing.
    my experience wednesday and last night was that I didn't get decent download speed until 8-9pm central time

  • IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

    I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
    I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
    I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

    It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

  • Warranty ipad air Japanese version.

    i Have a ipad air Japanese version. check two year warranty. in Vietnam, but only 1 year warranty for the label. So how to get the 2 year warranty as the notification system

    The iPad Air warranty includes the same qualifying statement as the iPhone warranty  That is:
    "IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE AND iPAD SERVICE.
    Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone and iPad to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device."
    However, with the iPad Air there is only one world-wide wifi only model (model A1474), and one world-wide wifi+cellular model (model A1475), so you may find you can get service whereever you are.  iPhone models, and previous versions of the iPad, are not identical models everywhere, so the above warranty statement often means that you literally cannot get service outside of your home country as nobody but the Apple stores in your home country even have your particular model available.
    So, while technically an iPad is not an international warranty, people have posted of getting service when away from home since all iPad Air models are the same everywhere.  All you can do is take it to your nearest Apple or Apple authorised service center and ask - worse they can so is no.

    There are many people using the basic (i5) 2012 MacMini and even older ones to edit complex films in FCP X so you should have no problems.
    I have been using FCP 7 and FCP X since they came out on my 2008 iMac Core 2 Duo and am thinking of getting the same model as you rather than pay the astronomic price for a new 27" iMac.
    The performance won't be quite as fast but it will be at least 4 times faster at rendering than my old iMac.

  • How do I transfer all my data from an iPad Air wifi 32 GB to a brand new iPad Air 2 64GB?

    I received right now a brand new iPad Air2 wifi 64 GB. How do I transfer ALL MY DATA from another iPad Air wifi 32 GB ?

    Back up your old one. I use and prefer iTunes, but back up all the data, etc.
    Then unplug it. Plug your new one in and go through the setup steps. When you see the option to set up as new or restore from the backup you just made, choose that and your new iPad will be a near clone of the old one.

  • How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in loop and I am forced close Adobe Bridge.

    How do I fix my animation presets for text that won't load? It seems to get locked in a loop when I click on one and I am forced to "fore close" Adobe bridge which After Effects uses to locate the presets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    What is your exact workflow? The proper procedure is to select your text layer in AE, find the text preset you want to use, then drag or double click that preset to apply it to your project.
    It also helps  if we know your version of AE and OS down to the decimal point. You didn't give us much to go on.
