My daughter dropped her ipad (on the carpet with a case)and the screen went blank. It will not turn off with force-off nor does the apple icon appear.
Ipad was dropped onto carpeting and the screen just went blank. It will not show turn off slide, nor will it display the apple icon. Pusing both home and on/off button together also does nothing. The screen barely displays any light when the home button is pushed. I am able to sync it but the screen is not displaying anything.
A few iPad users have been successful in "reviving" an iPad after a drop. Turn the iPad over and give it a HARD SLAP in the back. May take several slaps.
Frozen or unresponsive iPad
Resolve these most common issues:
• Display remains black or blank
• Touch screen not responding
• Application unexpectedly closes or freezes

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 mini was in the middle of an update for the Pintrest app when the upload froze. I tried shutting down the ipad and that seemed to cause it to go into a constant reboot. Now the ipad will not turn on or shut off. Only display the apple sign. Are the any self fix remedies out there to fix this?
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.

I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing
Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

The WiFi button is gray and will not turn on WiFi. When I push the Bluetooth on button, all I get is the spinning gear. It does not go on. What is the problem? Is there a fix?
After trying resets and a full restore, I went to Apple Store. Genius kept me waiting 1/2 hour beyond app'tment time, then had to go through all sorts of tests before concluding the problem was what you said. They replaced the phone. Thanks.

I can pair my iPhone 4 with my MacBook and my Macbook Pro but they will not connect. My iPhone keeps telling me it does not support this even with bluetooth turned on.The devices section keeps searching all the time. Is this an antenna problem? Or something else ?
Your iphone is right, it is not supported. The iphone's bluetooth protocols do not include file transfer, but are intendes only for headsets, stereo headphones, cars, and keyboards.

What make, model and version router do you have?
Is MAC address filtering turned ON in your router?
Do you have a limit on the number of connections set in your router?
What type of security are you using, i,e, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Have you tried restarting your router? (remove power for 30 seconds and restart)
Does your iPad 2 work on any other networks? Starbucks, Borders, etc -

Once I play music on my iPad, any other app like a game it will not play audio.... What can I do to fix it?
First, we are all users her. Apple makes only an occasional appearance. Second, if you want help, we can do that, but you will need to settle down and provide more information on the problem and what you have tried to do to fix it. Threatening abandoning your iPad doesn't help you solve the issues you are facing.
What app were you using when it crashed?
Is your iPad usable now?
If yes, what did you do to fix it? If no, what have you done to TRY and fix it?
The more details you can provide, the better we can help narrow down the problem and recommend a solution. -
Just set up a new PC and downloaded Firefox. It will not display my Zenfolio Photo website correctly nor will it play the music that accompanies the main page slideshow. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on them. All are Windows 7 Home Premium.
Note that there is nothing wrong with setting Flash to "Ask to Activate" and click the Lego block icon on the Navigation Toolbar to activate the Flash plugin when needed.
You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have once you have installed the plugin and checked the setting in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"

plz help
Issues booting are genenerally symptomatic with a corrupted operating system. I've seen this issue a lot recently with folks who have tried (unsuccessfully) to install the preview of iOS 7. If this is the case, once you get this issue resolved, I recommend you stick with iOS 6 until the new version is officialy released. If not then it just might be run of the mill corruption. Either way, you'll need to perform a DFU restore of the device. Check this video out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpinyGlQ8I for instructions on how to do this. It will delete everything, but this is likely the only option you have at this point. If you have issues doing this or if a DFU restore does not resolve your issue you should head to the Apple Store Genius Bar with an appointment (call, or go to apple.com/retail) and they will assist you!

I would like to know if apple will replace it. If not, then I will take somewhere cheaper but it has some scratches so I would like to get a new one.
The home button doesn't work, the LCD cable is broken and the screen is cracked! Wow. That's the worst case of abuse that I've seen. I think that Apple will laugh at you.
