My iPad Air crashed and won't restart after the blue screen of death. Can it be repaired in store, for how much and how long?

My iPad Air keeps on crashing and then a blue background would come up. To make the iPad restart I have been doing the hold-down-the-home-button-and-start-button-at-the-same-time technique. It's been a short term fix. Recently this has been occurring more often, this time I didn't press anything and it just went black.
IM taking it to the Apple Store tomorrow I'm just wondering can it be repaired or will I have to buy a replacement or will I. Get a free replacement as the iPad is still under warranty. If it was repaired in store how long would it take and how much would it cost??

Have you tried restoring to factory settings > Restoring iPod to factory settings
This is a usesr to user forum. You are not communicating direclty with Apple here.
Whether or not they will replace the iPad is entirely up the representatives at the Apple Store. Hopefully the warranty will cover any repair costs.

I updated my first generation iPad to version 5.1.1 and won't go past the setup screen that asks if I want to use the iPad locator. I can go back but can't get any further.

I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago. But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes. So it wiped out everything on my iPad. But it did work. Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine. Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

Reset PMU and Powerbook won't boot past the blue screen with "Mac OSX" box

Hi-
Problem: I tried to reset my PMU, and now when my computer restarts it won't go past the blue screen with the "Mac OSX" logo in the box (and progress bar, that never fills up). I then also tried to reset PRAM, but it still won't boot properly.
Backstory--
I've had my 12-inch Powerbook G4 for about 3.5 years already, so things are starting to get a bit out of whack. I replaced my battery about 3 months ago, which has been great, but recently my power-cord has been wonky (having to unplug it and replug it in to make sure it actually charges the computer, the light flickers on and off, etc). Today it actually started producing SPARKS at the place where the thin white wire meets the white plastic power brick, so I decided it was time to get a new one. Brought it home, plugged it in, and since it seemed like the battery indication icon on the menu bar was all out of sync with the powercord colored-light, I tried restarting it a few times, but still the same. Then, I decided to reset the PMU, which may have been a huge mistake. And now it won't boot past the blue screen... Any advice? I'm going to try restarting it in "safe" mode, but I'd be so grateful for any recommendations. Hope I haven't done something irreversibly stupid with the PMU reset.
Thanks,
Samantha

Hello all,
Thanks for all of your great suggestions and info-- here are a few responses.
1) The disk I just borrowed from my friend appears to be the full retail version-- it looks just like the links that Ali B sent, and is in a large box saying "Mac OSX Tiger, version 10.4"... will this be the proper disk to do an Erase and Install? The only other disks I have came with my Powerbook when it was originally purchased, when it came Panther (I think, 10.3?). Would I use both sets of these disks to do erase and install? Or only the Tiger OSX disks?
2) I get the sense that Disk Warrior or Tech Tool might be necessary, but does it make sense to TRY to do erase-install before buying them? Also, are there any downloadable (for pay) versions of this, or would I need to track down the actual physical disks in Hong Kong or wait for them to be shipped?
3) I haven't yet tried the S.M.A.R.T. test, should I do that first? What is the procedure? Are there any results or ways to know if the drive is too far gone (so that I might instead replace the internal hard-drive) instead of pay 100 USD first to do the disk repair?
4) Cornelius said: "An alternative would be to completely reformat and erase the entire HDD, then re-install and restore your data from backup. If your backup is in the form of a bootable clone of the entire HDD, you can just clone it back." I use Super-Duper to back-up and the most recent one copied the whole thing-- what would be the later procedure of "cloning it back"?
5) As I'm able to use my computer pretty normally right now, but does it still mean that it might crash/die at any moment? Is there any way to tell?
Thanks so much!

Today I was shopping and I went to check the time on my Iphone but it had shut itself off for no reason and now it won't turn back on. What should I do?

Today I was shopping and I went to check the time on my Iphone but it had shut itself off for no reason and now it won't turn back on. What should I do?

It could have powered off. Try holding the sleep button down for a few seconds until the apple logo appears to restart it

IMac makes a loud beep on start up, won't load past the blue screen and the black ticking dial appears every few seconds in centre of screen.

Urgent help!
Out of the blue my mac lost the mouse cursor even though it had connection so I rebooted only for the mac to make a loud beep on start up then get stuck at the blue loading screen. It won't load past the blue screen. I've tried to reboot holding down the shift key but no change. I've also shut down, unplugged the main for 15 seconds, re plug and wait 5 seconds before starting up again but no change. Does anyone have any suggestions?
PS: I'm not too sure which systems I am running without being able to check in about this mac. I bought my imac in January or February 2011 if that helps.

The power on self-test resides in the ROM of the computer. This test runs whenever the computer is turned on after being fully shut down (the power-on self-test does not run if the computer is only restarted).
If a fault is detected during the test, you will not hear a normal startup chime. Instead, the system will beep as explained below. If you experience one of these beeps, you may call your Apple Authorized Service Provider for additional troubleshooting assistance.
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable

What is nipalk.sys and why does it give me the Blue Screen of Death?

Recently I purchased a 6211 USB data acquistion unit. Everything worked fine until one day Windows Explorer crashed (we all know how rare that kind of event is...). When I re-booted, I got the Blue Screen of Death, with a message about nipalk.sys being the culprit. I booted in Safe Mode and re-named this file, and then was able to boot normally and re-install the driver software for the 6211, and everything was fine...for about a week, when Windows Explorer did it again (Oops!).
Does anyone know:
    1. Which exact part of the install supplies nipalk.sys? It is a huge install with multiple parts accross 2 CDs. I could save a lot of time if I could restrict the install to just repairing the damage.
    2. Can I just make a copy of nipalk.sys and tuck it away in some corner of my hard drive to use as a replacement when this happens?
    3. I'm guessing that nipalk.sys is used by the little system tray icon that watches out for DAQ devices to be plugged into my USB. Is this guess correct? Can I turn this feature off for the 99% of the time I'm not using my laptop for data acquisition? Will that protect me against the gorking of nipalk.sys when Explorer goes down?
    4. What is this driver doing that its file disk becomes corrupted during a Windows Explorer crash?

Paul-
OK. When I can afford the time, I will try removing all NI software and re-installing. I have LabVIEW 8.0, DAQmx (of course), NI Vision development, and IMAQ.
I also had LabVIEW 7.1 on my machine because it was too much trouble to
remove it when I upgraded to 8.0 I have since removed 7.1, but I think there are still a lot of older versions of the "extras" that came along with it still lurking on my hard drive....
I was hoping for some guidance for a short-term "work around:"
1. If I just re-install DAQmx, can I make a copy of nipalk.sys and store it somewhere as a back-up to avoid the painfully long 2 CD re-install of DAQmx?
2. If the answer to 1 is "no", then exactly what part of DAQmx installs nipalk.sys? It is a multi-part install, and if I know which part is responsible for nipalk.sys, I can repair just that and save a lot of time.
To answer your questions about version: I'm not sure. I don't have convenient access to the disks at the moment, but they came with my 6211, which I ordered in May of 2007. I would be tempted to call it "the latest", but DAQmx seems to get updated quite frequently, so let's just call it a "recent" version.
Thanks,

Computer won't get past the blue screen...

During class today I decide to install new updates to my computer, but class ended before everything had downloaded so I just closed the screen thinking nothing of it. Now my computer won't get past the blue screen and it just keeps reloading and reloading. Help?

You must have damaged your OS installation by putting the machine to sleep at the wrong moment. To fix that, you need to reinstall, but first you need to back up your data, if you haven't already done so. Have you?

Got the 'Blue Screen of Death' and now my 5S is dead

holding down the home button and the power button together does nothing- i only got this phone on monday- it had to be restarted a few times because it wouldn't 'wake up' using the sleep button and then today i had the 'blue screen' 3 times but a hard restart got it going- until now

In which case its still under full warranty and you should be able to get a repacement at the place of purchase.
Take it back and ask for a replacement. It seems to be there's some factory defect to it.

I have a new iPhone 4 and every time I plug it into my laptop I get the "blue screen of death", it didn't do this the first time because I downloaded all my music from iTunes but ever since it has done this. Anybody have any insight?

I have an iPhone 4 and downloaded all my iTunes music to it. Now when I connect it to my laptop I automatically get the "blue screen of death", does anyone have any insight into this problem?

This will happen if you have photos in your camera roll and an out-of-date scanner or webcam driver. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1502

ITunes and the blue screen of death.

Over about the past week now iTunes has been giving me this error when I try to disconnect/eject my iPod from with in iTunes.
+"The iPod cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application."+
It also will not allow me to eject it from the Safely Remove Hardware function on the task bar.
When I then try to close down iTunes it gives me the blue screen of death. I have the error code which corresponds with it, and the code is one which mentions Removable Media Devices as the reason for the error.
I've read a bit about this, and tried a few things. But to no avail.
I'm going to move all the files off of my iPod and reset the iPod itself when I get home.
Short of that, is there anything else which may fix this problem?
Thank You

One thing to check is if you have any new or previously updated anti virus software.
It could be trying to scan the ipod while itunes is trying to sync to it.

I powered off my Ipad and it is stuck on the blue screen and won't shut off. What can I do?

I shut down my Ipad but it has become stuck in shutdown mode on the blue screen and won't turn off. What can I do to turn it off and try to restart it?

Both buttons:

When I open FireFox i get the blue screen of death and then vista restarts. I get to login and then afterthe welcome window it crashes and restarts again. I can open in safe mode but if I open firefox again it restarts this loop.

The other day I opened firefox after the latest update in September. Firefox then closes and then i get logged off and vista(32 bit) restarts. I get back to login and when I try to login it gives me the blue screen and restarts again with the selection screen (start in safe mode....)I was able to login on safe mode and then on admin afterwards. Thinking the problem was just an error I went back and opened firefox on my account and the loop started again. I was forced to remove firefox but I want ti back and I want to know how this can be fixed so I can put it back on my computer.

When I clicked on Firefox, the update bar started but when it stopped Firfox would not open. The blue screen of death popped up and said something about a new installation. We restarted the computer and now Firefox will not open. Help!

When I clicked to open Firefox the update bar appeared and an update loaded. Usually when this happens Firefox will open up when the update is finished. This time it did not open. when I clicked on the icon again the blue screen opened and said something about a new installation and if this was the first time you have seen this screen restart your computer and try again. I restarted the computer and when I clicked on the Firefox icon the "hour glass" would appear like it was trying to open but it never would open. I don't know what else to do.

Firefox is causing my computer to crash. It is causing the blue screen of death. What can I do to solve this problem?

Mozilla firefox is crashing my computer. It will run and the blue screen would come on because of this I cannot run firefox on my computer anymore. What to do?

Ai CC, Ps CC, and Id CC Closes After The Splash Screen

Hello,
I recently upgrade from CS6 to CC versions of a bunch of Adobe programs for school and it seems that Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign always close right after the splash screen disappears.
I had no issues with CS6 at all.
I'm running it on a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch. Early 2013.
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software: OS X 10.8.4
I've been looking through the forums all day about ways to fix this.
I have tried:
• Signing out then back in
• Uninstalling and reinstalling
• Stopping the OS from auto-terminating programs with no windows open
Which are the main 3 options that I could find.
I have looked in Library>Logs>Adobe files for crash data, but it doesn't look like theres any.
I have noticed, when checking out the console logs, that theres a warning that pops up when I try to open any of the 3 programs that looks like:
I tried googling this, but there was almost nothing on that.
I don't know if that has anything to do with the problem, but any insight would be aprreciated.

Hi Nick_DJM,
