My iPad 2 is frozen and I can't even turn it off, my iPad 2 is frozen and I cant, helpn't even turn it off

Help! My iPAD 2 is frozen and I can't restart it. When I opened it this afternoon, I was having trouble with checking my email, i tried to restart, and now its frozen with just a little circle continuing to swirl. I don't know what else to do.

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.

Try a hard reset and go from there. You might try a manual install (using DFU Mode), as outlined in the link below.

HT201412 iPad not responsive. Even hold both the restart and Home buttons for 20 seconds. Trying using iTune to restore it, then only the charging button is shown. iTunes can not even recognize the iPad anymore.

Originally I can see the iPad symbol on the screen. Trying using iTune to restore it, then only the charging symbol is shown. iTunes can not even recognize the iPad anymore.

No Mirroring in Ipad 2? I have IPAD2 and Apple Tv 4.3. I can airplay videos/music from Ipad2 to my HDTV via ATV, but I cant mirror it. When I select airplay to switch from Ipad2 to Apple TV, Mirroring does not show as an option. What am I missing?

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 8 and still checking on the settings. When I happened to swipe on my screen fro too long, it zoomed and I can no longer see what's on it. I can not even unlock it. What shall I do?

Try double tapping with three fingers and see if that reduces the screen image. If it does, unlock the iPad and go to Settings>General>Accessibility>zoom>Off. If double tapping with three fingers doesn't work, try triple tapping the home button instead.

I changed a few settings and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shut off switch and can't back to the settings icon to change it back. Any ideas?

I changed a few settings on my iPad and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shutoff button and the button to get to all the icons won't let me get back to settings to change the settings back. Can anyone help?

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

TS4036 my ipad has locked itself up and is posting the message: iCloud Backup This iPad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ... I've plugged it in, should be connected to wi-fi but I can't get the message off the screen and can't do anything.

My Ipad has locked itself up and is posting the followning message: iCloud Backup This iPad has not been backed up for 2 weeks.... I've plugged it in, it should be connected to rgour home wi-fi, but I cant get the message to go away when I push OK. I cant get it to do anything. It is fully charged, but I can't even turn it off (won't let me), Just continues to post the iCloud Backup message.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

Already connected to Wi-Fi. Leftit that way all night. Nothing happened. Still the same message. Can't even unlock. So now I can't use my iPad at all. HELP!!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

I bought an ipad from some one and i can't activate it and it keeps on showing that i should type the apple id and password link to that ipad which i dont know and i can't even locate thi guy. Please help if there is a chance to activate the ipad. Thanks.

There is no chance at all that you can activate the iPad without the previous user's Apple ID and password. That is the feature of iOS 7 Activation Lock.
Every time I read one of these post, I can't help but think that the user asking about this (in this case - you) was duped into purchasing a stolen device. If the seller was legit, they would have erased the device completely before they sold it.
