My ipad has stopped responding. Can't turn it off or anything

My iPad isn't responding. I can't shut it own or anything. It's just stuck

A little more info would be helpful?
What were you doing when this happened? Is the screen on or completely black? Is the iPad making any sounds?
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.

  • HT4137 Just received a new iPad 3 & it is locked up.  The only message I get is: iPad not backed up.  This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked & connected to Wi-Fi. The iPad is locked up & can only turn it off.

    Have I received a new iPad from the distributor?  How can I unlock the iPad?

    Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.
    Then try to connect with your computer and iTunes; http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • My mini ipad just went black? can't turn it off or anything

    my ipad mini just went black, no nothing, just a blank screen.
    what do i do?

    If there is nothing showing on the iPad's screen, then assuming that its battery isn't empty then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear and it will boot up - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My ipad 2 has stopped responding to tap commands after updating to ios 8.2

    After updating the IOS to 8.2 the ipad has stopped responding to commands in Safari or any other application. The touch screen is functional as I can punch my password to unlock the ipad.

    Try to give it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple let go and let it reboot and see if that helps

  • Sc has stopped responding

    Hi,
    i got the below error message in /var/adm/messages
    rmclomv: [ID 647266 kern.warning] WARNING: SC has stopped responding
    Can Anybody explain the error..
    Thanks and Regards

    Check whether the system controller(SC), otherwise known as the Advanced Lights-Out Management interface(ALOM), is accessible using an external connection, rather than from within the operating system. This is to test whether the SC is still alive, regardless of whether there is Solaris access to SC.
    To conduct this verification, you must connect to the SC via the serial management port, to confirm whether the SC is responsive. Take note that
    connecting to the SC via the Ethernet port (network management port) will depend on whether the SC's Ethernet port has been previously configured to accept
    incoming connections. If the SC's Ethernet port is not configured, access to the SC will not be available via the Ethernet.
    When a connection has been gained to the SC, there might not be any output. This is normal because the SC default behavior(setting), is to time-out console
    redirection within 60 seconds of being booted or reset.
    Enter the escape sequence "#." to gain access to the SC prompt "sc> " or a "login:" request by the SC.
    If no response is seen from the SC after keying in the escape sequence "#."
    or even after a power cycle, consider replacing the SC.
    However, if you are able to access the system controller externally, then you might be experiencing Bug.
    Bug ID: 5017681
    "su driver unloading causes loss of connection from Solaris to ALOM"
    Work Around:
    You can manually load the driver again using the "modload su"command from Solaris. This is only temporary as Solaris may unload su again later.
    Add the line following line to /etc/system and reboot:
    forceload: drv/su
    This should assist in preventing "su" from unloading.

  • My itunes has stopped responding how can I get it working again

    My itunes has stopped responding how can I get it working again?

    I have a related issue (I think, hard to know for sure from the short frustrated post above).
    Since the last update of iTunes (11.0.5), it kind of freezes while checking for and downloading new podcasts. Processor load goes to 100% (sometimes above! figure from Swedish OSX "Aktivitetskontroll" which I can imagine is something like "Activity Control" or "Activity Manager" in English OSX) and stays there for a few minutes, 3-5 minutes is common. During that time the mouse pointer turns into a spinning ball when moved above iTunes. Other apps work ok meanwhile. (Four processors)
    Have a fixed connection to the internet, which I have tested while iTunes is frozen. We acheive above 100 Mbit/s downstream, 20 Mbit/s upstream, so the connection shouldn't be the problem.
    Any ideas on what to do?

  • My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

    My screen has stopped rotating when I turn my ipad

    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. If you have the newer ipad just swipe up on the home screen and the shrotcuts will come up and there will be a symbol for screen rotation lock (make sure its off)
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPhoto 11 has stopped responding. I was making a slideshow when it froze, I had to force quit to close it down but now when I try to open it starts to try to open but cannot and I can only close it down through force quit.

    IPhoto 11 has stopped responding. I had been working on a large slideshow for a week now and all was great when the slideshow froze when I tried to add another image. To shut it down I had to force quit.  When I have tried to re-open IPhoto starts to launch  but the rainbow icon just keeps going round and I have to force quit to get out of the programm. I cannot access any of the files in IPhoto and it wil not open. Any suggestions??? I would really want to save my images in IPhoto if at all possible as I do not have them stored anywher elese. Any help would be very apprreciated.

    Remember: you always need a back up for any important data on your computer. Always.
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
    If that fails
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
