My Ipad air won't turn on after restarting during an update

It stopped turning on after I reset midway through an update because the update froze. As in, it stopped completely for four hours.

Did you try this?
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case

iPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case cover, it does not do it all the time but enough to concern me

Take both the iPad and the Smart Cover back to where you bought them for an evaluation. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Ipad 3 won't turn on after ios 6 update

Hi everyone,
I'm at a loss! My Ipad 3 was working fine, and while fully charged I updated to ios 6. Everything worked fine and I was thrilled. While at work, I turned the Ipad off, and now it won't turn back on. I've tried resetting, I've tried holding down the power and home buttons (repeatedly, and for long time periods), and I've tried to restore it using my itunes but my computer now doesn't recognize the device when I plug in the USB. but I never see any reaction by the device. No icons on the screen, no apple logo, no nothing... I updated itunes, still the same problem. So, for the life of me, this fully charged relatively new working fine 64G Gen 3 Ipad just won't turn on. Any additional ideas before I dare to go in the crowded apple store for assistance?
Thanks, Hollie

Try this...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

IPad Air won't turn on even after fully charging overnight and won't reset using the power and home button.

I have tried charging the ipad over night and no matter what I do it won't turn on. I did try plugging it into my computer and itunes recognized it once, but I wasn't able to restore it. Please help. It's only 3 months past warranty.

If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

Ipad 2 won't turn on after freezing and rebooting...

So this is what happened. I was playing "Lili" and halfway when I got to the second area after the begining of the game, the game started to act weird, the controls skipped and I couldn't control it well, so I pressed the home button and it froze. I tried to reboot the ipad and I did it by pressing the two buttons as only pressing the wake/sleep button did not work. It started up normaly but then I tried to play again, this time it did not pass from the first few images of the developer and it froze yet again. This time however when I pressed the reboot the apple icon showed very dimly then it disappeared followed by the battery empty icon, you'd think it would need to recharge but the thing is, the Ipad still had more than half battery when this happened. Do I have a brick? I tried charging it for more than 20 minutes but still nothing...

Updating iPad Air won't turn on. Help??!!

I LITERALLLY just bought an iPad Air and just finished setting it up and was informed that there was a new update for my iPad so went ahead with it. It looked like it was happily updating but now the screen is completely blank, it won't respond to holding the on/off button or both the on/off button and home button at the same time.
I've plugged it into my PC to try and restore it but iTunes is telling me that "The iPhone update server could not be contacted" with the options for OK or More Information; the latter of the two providing no help whatsoever. Without it connecting to iTunes or even turning on, I don't know how to reset it.
Any help for my brand new (now very expensive paperweight) iPad Air would be very much appreciated!
Thanks.

1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)

5. Release Home button.

Ipad Air won't turn on

We did an update on our Ipad Air. I am not sure if the update completed. The system now only goes to the Apple Icon, stays there for a few minutes, then shuts off. It automatically will turn back on and get as far as the icon. I tried a shutdown with on/off and home keys however, it continues to the same as bringing the Apple icon and then shutting down.

Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears...if it will not restart from that procedure, you need to restore from recovery mode by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

New iPad Air won't turn on

I recently purchased a iPad Air (First Generation 16gb) from Amazon and it will not turn on. I have tried holding the home and sleep/power button at the same time for 10 seconds and on other attempts, more than 10 seconds. It is still not turning on. The screen shows no dead battery sign, it shows nothing at all. I have also tried plugging it into my computer, note that my computer and iTunes are both fully updated. Nothing is showing on my computer either. I have tried different power adapters and charging cables when charging but nothing is working. Although I can send it back for a refund, I thought I would see what other things I could possibly do before. Thanks!

If you connect the device to power for at least 30 minutes and then attempt to reset the device by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together and it does not respond, I suggest that you return the device for a refund. It may require you holding the buttons for up to 30 seconds, but if that does not work, the device is not worth messing with.

IPhone 3G Won't Turn On After OS 4.0 Update

A little background about my iPhone 3G to help you guys out -- the sleep/wake button hasn't worked in a few months, so if, say, Safari freezes, I let the battery die out to restart my phone. A major pain, I know.
Tonight I decided to update through iTunes to the OS 4.0. It seemed as if everything was going well, but after about an hour of backing up and installing, my phone is now permanently turned off seeming to have never restarted from the update. To make matters worse, it is no longer recognized by iTunes or my PC. As stated, the sleep/wake button doesn't work so a hard reset or restore is physically impossible. Does anyone have suggestions on how to restore the phone back to the previous OS?
I'm currently trying to reinstall iTunes as I type this.

After several hours of various numerical error messages, freezing loop, iTunes not recognizing the 3G, rebooting the computer (iMac), hard resets, etc, I forced it off and went to bed. Today I found that while iTunes still would not recognize the phone as it would normally, it did when I unplugged and then plugged in the phone. The phone was then restored ( 4.0 was obviously installed last night and then went into a loop). I refused backup, restored OS, but did not continue to restore from back up. The phone is now operational and synced via mobile me, however no apps than system. Based on the latter I will not allow iTunes to restore my backup until this problem is resolved. Some of the said apps are used for business, but I have the iPad to sync them with in the interi.

Ipad Air- the screen turns blue and restarts

Lately my Ipad Air has started misbehaving. The screen all of a sudden turns blue completely and then it restarts.
The IOS is on the latest release.
It is not dependent on any one App & it happens anytime
Has anyone had a similar issue & a fix for this?

i am facing the issue as well, even post iOS 8 upgrade the frequency seems to have increased.
Will be be reporting to Apple Store for diagnosis. Hope they have some solution or else a negative publicity typhoon is coming.

My iPod touch 5th generation won't turn on after the new iOS update

I've just updated my iPod touch 5th generation to the iOS 8.1.1. (or whatever the newest update is) but once it updated, it now won't turn back on. I've tried plugging it into multiple chargers and computers just in case it wasn't charged, and tired turning it on, but all I get is the apple logo and nothing's happening. What can I do? I haven't backed it up this month and I don't want to loose all my stuff. Thanks.

Try the following. It is very likely that the iPod will have to be erased:
- 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.

In the future make sure yo backup before updating. I always backup to both iTunes and iCloud before updating .

My MacBook Pro X.6.8 NO DISPLAY after restarted during software update.

My MacBook Pro X.6.8 after I did software update for 2 files, then restart/rebooted and when it resume back NO DISPLAY, totally black screen. I believed It's working in the background coz when I pressed buttons it makes sounds, so that's good but how can I see and bring back the display? I didnt so anything special. Prior to software update I did update my Adobe Flash for the latest version..
Please help anyone, I need my MacBook Pro to resume back to normal, I have many pending job to finish.. I hope the problem is only the display screen and not worst, coz I can't see and verify.
Thanks.

Oh No, still the same.. I follow exactly what you said, still no display.
I hear rebooting sound, like its normal, just missing my screen.
How come this happen, it works perfectly fine, I just want to update coz I had a message prior, so I did, but I just check first what are those needed to update. I saw Itunes v.11 and security patch update, something like that..
Then when it rebooted no more display.

My fully charged macbook air won't turn on after a forced shut down??

last night i forced my MBA to shut down because it kept automatically shutting down and restarting by itself. after that, i tried to turn it back on and nothing worked. i tried all those tricks by pressing different keys to turn it back on but none of that worked. i only got this computer like 2 months ago so im pretty annoyed right now.

A two month old MBA is under warranty. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar will put your Air back in operation.
Ciao.
