My iPad 2 just died

My new iPad 2 (2 months old) just died. I was watching an AirPlay video and 'zap' all went away. Would not start back up. Would not connect (and receive) power from charger. Would not 'link' to computer with USB cable- nada!!
Went to the forums and found the same issue. One poster suggested a 'hard reset'; power button down with Apple button. Within 15 seconds the iPad woke up........thanks so much for having the forum available with the answers........otherwise I would have had to make a trip to the Apple store; 6 hours aways and that would have been no fun........
Thanks again,

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.

My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.

That is indicating that the device has gone into recovery mode. Press just the Power button until the red Power Off slider appears and slide to turn it off. Then power it back up to see if it has exited Recovery Mode. If it has, then you should be good to go.
If it has not, then the issue you had that caused the iPad to turn off was one that put your device into Recovery mode requiring that you go through the recovery process (i.e., the reset did not process since the issue required a recovery to resolve). Here is a link that explains what you need to do to get out of Recovery Mode in that case:

HT1212 my ipad just died. When i hook up to my computer on itunes it says cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. i know my passcode but nothing is coming on, the screen is just blank and it is was fully charged

My ipad will not turn on. It was fully charged before it just died and would not turn back on. When I hook it up to my computer on itunes it says cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. I know my passcode but the screen is just black, no power, so I cannot enter a pass code.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Hold Sleep/Wake button down and slide to turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

My ipad just died. It was fully charged. Is it the battery?

I can't even turn the thing on. Tried in vain to contact support, but have to pay $29 for a single service question. According to the warranty, they will only replace a battery with 50% or more power. Is it worth the $99 service fee or just buy a replacement battery. Could it be something else?

Did you try a reset?
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.

Has anyone had their IPAD just die?

I picked up my ipad to read a book and it will not turn on. Plugged it in to charge this morning and now it is dead.

IT's possible that your battery has died. You can make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

My ipad just died

I was using my ipad with about a 75% charge when I sat it down for a minute. Now it will not respond to anything, the hard reset will not work, itunes will not recognize it and to the best I can tell is just dead. The charger works fine as my other ipad will charge with it.
Is my only solution to send it to Apple or find and Apple store? Seems like it shouldn't be a battery when it was working fine and then a minute later nothing.
Appreciate any help, but please not a hard reset will not work.

Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

If this does not help... then take to an Apple Store or AASP and get them to check it for you.

Ipad just died.

So I was watching a video from itunes, when suddenly it decided it wasn't going to work anymore. I've already returned one ipad because of an odd screen issue. If my warrenty has run out by now, will I just have to buy a new one? I'm depressed now.

You must have taken your iPad to the low charge shutdown previously from your response so you know what that is like. When mine hits that point the shutdown is very fast, little warning except for the nag dialog boxes that keep coming up below 21% charge. Did you get any of those nags before this occured? Have you plugged your iPad into a wall outlet to recharge?
You may need to do a hard reset: hold both the sleep/poer button and home button until the Apple Logo appears and they unit goes through a restart sequence. If that doesn't work, have you connected to a computer and used iTunes to see what it says about the iPad? If so, what iformation/lack of info did it give?

My iPad just died...is there a reset switch?

iPad is about a year and a half old. Never had any problems. I had been using it all night long and opened the cover. NOTHING. Black screen. Tried the home and hold keys but still nothing. I know the battery was about 80% charged. I have tried leaving it on the charger for 8 hours but still nothing. What is my next step?

Trying that 20 times is futile as you have discovered
Connect to your computer and restore from iTunes
If that doesn't work take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you

Have you tried to restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer? See the restoring topic on:

If not successful, what happens when you try to restore the iPod? Any error messages?

HT201412 Iphone 4s just died.

My phone just died. My sleep/wake button is also broken and i have been using assist to turn put the phone to sleep. How do i see if it really is dead and get it turned back on. Its on

Hey neigh.oink and btacres thanks for the replies.
so I tried that link you posted, i tried connecting it to a wall plug and it turned back on but there's no signal. it just says searching and the wifi isn't working, as in, it doesn't give me the option to turn on the wifi... also, when i disconnected it from the wall plug it died again and didn't turn back on (despite the battery being 100%)..
This is really odd because I had the battery replaced last month...
I still don't know what to do.. it won't respond when I connect it to my laptop to restore it either!!
It's sad that I'm so dependent on my phone but I feel so helpless without it!

My ipad just won't let me enter my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage, it works fine on my iPhone, I have tried numerous things but nothing works, can anybody help please, will a bug fix sort this out when they finally make one

My ipad just won't let me sign in with my apple password on FaceTime or iMessage since updating to ios7 it says check my network connection, even though my iPhone works fine with the same password, can anybody help please, I have tried numerous things but nothing works. Will I have to wait for a bug fix to sort this? I hear they are working on one a the minute, I hate ios7

Try a Restart.
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.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
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. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

HT5012 I just downloaded the latest update and now my iPad just defaults to my home screen. I was reading a book on overdrive and I can no longer access it. When I try Safari again it just defaults to my home screen. Help!

I just downloaded my latest update and my Ipad just defaults to my home screen. I was reading a book on Overdrive before t.he download and whe I now Tory to open it just. Takes me to mt home screen. The same with Safari. Any thoughts.

Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

I am unable to create a new event on my iPhone with IOS 7.0.4. I tap the plus sign, fill in the details, tape Done and ... nothing. Repeatedly. No problem on my iMac or iPad, just with the phone. Help.

Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?
