My ipad 2 crashed last night and now its just turning on and off in a cycle

My ipad 2 crashed last night due to the battery being low and when i plugged it in, it showed thae apple logo and turned back on. Then it flashes to my homescreen for under a second and then just turns right back off again! I have tried rebooting it by holding down the home and lock screen at the same time but it just powers on and does the exact same thing again. It has been doing the same thing the whole night so I dont know what to do? Oh and when I plug it into iTunes, iTunes just tells me theres an error and the iPad wasnt synced, im really worried now so i need help Thanks

Hello francesca62,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article has some troubleshooting steps for you to go through, specifically steps 5-7.  Even though the title says it's for iPhone, the same information applies to your iPad.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    Hey did you get an answer yet because my Macbook is also having the same problem.
    The screen just goes black when I either turn my computer on or let it Sleep or clamshell it.  It turns on for a split second then goes black.

    But that only covers for Macbook Pro. I took it to the store today and they confirmed it's only for Macbook Pro, although it's obviously the same problem.

  • My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

    My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.  It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it.  I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine.  That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

    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 another cable       
    - 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.

    hi there, I need help .. I have 2 gen ipod touch and I restore my ipod around 11:00 pm and now its 1:20 am and on my screen its the iTunes logo and the usb cord and when I plug my charger in my laptop .. iTunes comes up and this what it saids "iTunes has detected an ipod recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes" so what do I do.. do I let my ipod died right out & then try it .. because I restore it ,... it was beening to slow... so please help me  ?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • My brand new MacBook pro charged last night but now won't turn on, help!

    My MacBook pro charged fully last night but now won't turn on, the green battery light is flashing but no matter how long I hold the power button it won't start. I just bought the MacBook in January.

    Well then it isn't really Brand New. Brand New kinda means you bought it yesteerday or 2-3 days ago.
    In any event youy need to take it to Apple and have them fix or replace it.
    You have a hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

    Try restarting your Mac.
    If that doesn't help, open a Finder window. Select your Home folder (it has a small house icon) in the Sidebar on the left.
    Now open the Library folder then the Prefernces folder.
    Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash. Restart your Mac one more time.

    Connect the iPod to a charging source and then try the will not turn on topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    If you have a 2G iPod and did not have the iPod connected to a charging source it is likely that the battery fully drained before the erase was complete since it can take hours to do the delete.

    Hello LadyPenn,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with downloading music from iTunes.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching all the applications on your iPad:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting all the apps, I recommend restarting your iPad and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My computer is stuck on installing (running package scripts) during an office 2011 update.  It has been trying to install since last night.  I can't turn my computer off or anything!  It's been frozen at "23 min. remaining" and isn't making any progress.

    My macbook is stuck trying to install an office 2011 update.  It continues to say "23 minutes remaining" but it has been saying that since last night.  I am unable to stop the installation.  Every attempt is thwarted and I am even unable to turn off the computer!  HELP!

    Hi Kaylin,
    Go up to the Apple menu and see if you can force quit the process. If not, hold the power button down for 5-10 seconds and it will shut down your MBP.

    - Yes. Restoring the iPod erases the iPod.
    - Try a reset to:
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring
    - Next try DFU mode
