My iPad cannot be turned off

My iPad 2 got crashed so I made several attempts to turn it off but it could not be turned off. It is stalled and still is on. That is the first time since I bought it in 2011. What should I do about it? I need your help.

Finally! It worked! I used the home and lock buttons at the same time, and it then turned off. I turned it on. Work!

    Try holding the power and home buttons for ten to fifteen seconds until the apple appears. If still bad, try a restore from within the computer&itunes.

  • How do I do "Find My iPad must be turned off-" when I cannot get past the iPad "Enter Passcode"?

    I reset the passcode on the iMac, but I cannot retore the iPad because it wants the passcode entered. It does not recognize the passcode was set on the iMac and instead displays: "Find My iPad must be turned off before "<iPad name>" can be restored. Go to iCloud Settings on your iPad and turn off Find My iPad before restoring your iPad." I'm chasing my tail with this because I cannot get on the iPad iCloud Settings to turn off Find My iPad. I'm running iOS 7.1 and the iPad is backed up and synced to the iMac. What can I do?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (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 iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How can I get my IPad 2 to turn off?

    Help! I tried to send a video which I had taken w/ my IPad2. I clicked the "send" button but nothing happened and the screem seemed to freeze. I then tried to access my email to see if the video had been sent, but my email accout page was totally blank. I powered off the IPad but the "loading" circulating circle will not go off and my IPad won't turn off. I tried to sync it w/ my computer but it won't syn with ITunes - it doesn't even appear on the list. Can someone help me 1) to shut down my IPad, (even after an hour, it still is running, but I can't shut it down OR turn it on)and 2) correct any malfunctions this may have caused? Thanks!

    Try holding the sleep and home button together for a few seconds and the ios will restart and apple logo will apear

  • HT1414 dont know what to do. i cant open my ipad. it just turned off. help me pls. thank you

    dont know what to do. i cant open my ipad. it just turned off. help me pls

    If you are sure that the battery didn't die on you and that the battery has some power left in it, reboot the iPad and see if it starts up.
    Reboot 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.

  • Grandkids set up ipad2 for grandma. Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.

Passcode forgotten and never used again.  The ipad was never turned off, and was never synced or connected to main PC.  No iTunes installed on PC.  Yesterday while visiting with owner, I downloaded an app for her.  It installed and restarted the ipad. Passcode is now needed. What to do?

    If Find my iPad was never set up then scroll down & follow the directions under Recovery Mode:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    If it was and the activation lock is triggered, then you will need to know the original Apple ID & password that her grandkids used to set it up or have them sign into iCloud & remove the device from Find My iPad before you can Restore it.

  • My iPad is not turning off. What can I do?

    My iPad is not turning off. What can I do? Tried to find something about in the internet and has found nothing.

    I really don't know what else to try except for restoring the iPad - or letting the battery totally drain, recharge the iPad and then see if it will work.
    The problem with letting the battery drain is I would be afraid that you would not be able to turn the iPad on. However, usually when you recharge the iPad, it turns on again by itself.
    Anyway, in the meantime, until you can get this resolved -  you don't have to turn the iPad off for my reason other than to restart for troubleshooting purposes. If the iPad will recharge and if it goes to sleep OK, there is no reason to have to turn it off.
    When exactly happens when you try to reboot? Does the red slider at appear at all?

  • IPhone completely stacked - cannot even turn off

    I have had calendar sync problem for a long time. I removed iTune and reinstalled the latest version again. While I was trying to restore my iPhone hopefully to solve the sync problem, my iPhone was stacked. Right now, the apple mark appears on the iPhone and a timer (it's like an analog stopwatch) keeps moving (rotating). I cannot do anything. I cannot even turn off the iPhone. Can someone help? Do I need to run its battery out?

    I've had this problem as well. I can hold down the two buttons for 2 minutes and NOTHING WHATEVER HAPPENS!!! I've tried pressing them simultaneously, tried doing each one first before the other - etc. None of it works.
    It is simply impossible to turn my iPhone (1st gen, 16 MB) off. It just won't shut down. And since that is the standard instruction whenever anything goes wrong with the iPhone, it kind of leaves me stuck.
    So what on earth are you supposed to do IF THE DANG THING WON'T SHUT DOWN?????

  • I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.

    What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
    A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
    How is it setup?
    I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
    I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?
