My iPad hd keeps shutting down and the only screen available is black with the glowing apple symbol? What's wrong and how do I fix it?

Please help!!

If the above doesn't work:
Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPad
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for about 15-20 seconds.

  • Why does my ipad air keep shutting down

    Why does my new ipad air keep shutting down?

    No one here can answer that. Try a reset (hold the home and power keys down until the Apple logo appears). If that does not help, take it in for diagnosis.

  • My iPad mini keeps shutting down.

    Ever since we got a new modem, new router and new ISP, my iPad mini keeps shutting down, and disconnecting from the internet.  When it disconnects, if I go to settings and try to re-connect, it just shuts down. This happens quite often...every ten or fifteen minutes. Our other iPad is fine. Once when we re-booted the router, I was fine for a whole day. I tried that again today, but it didn't help.

    Hey Thifobia,
    I see that your iPad is unexpectedly powering off while you are using it. Here is an article for you that addresses this issue and has some troubleshooting suggestions:

  • My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own!

    My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own, and this is the second IPad Air doing this. I really don't want to go trade it in for another. Does anyone have the same issue and is there a way to fix it? And yes I've done the manual reset and computer reset.

    Memory Size & The Impact of 64-bit Applications
    The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
    Something I didn’t have time to address in my iPhone 5s review was the impact of 64-bit applications on memory usage. I actually ran some tests after the 5s review hit but never got the chance to share the data, so I figured now is as good a time as any to do just that.
    Unlike traditional desktop OSes, iOS doesn’t support paging to disk (or in this case, NAND). Application data can either reside in memory or the associated process is terminated and has to be reloaded the next time you request it. It’s a decision likely made to both maintain user experience and limit the number of program/erase cycles on the internal NAND.
    The good news is that iOS was architected to run on as little hardware as possible and as a result tends to be quite memory efficient. There are also power implications of going to larger memories. The combination of these two things has kept Apple on the conservative side of increasing memory capacity on many iDevices.
    The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.
    To find out I monitored total platform memory usage in a couple of scenarios. Before measuring I always manually quit all open apps and performed a hard reset on the device. Note that the data below is reporting both clean and dirty memory, so it’s possible that some of the memory space could be recovered in the event that another process needed it. I hoped to minimize the impact by always working on a cleanly reset platform and only testing one app at a time.
    I looked at memory usage under the following scenarios:
    1) A clean boot with no additional apps open
    2) Running Mobile Safari with 4 tabs open (two AnandTech.com tabs, two Apple.com tabs, all showing the same content)
    3) Infinity Blade 3 (64-bit enabled) sitting at the very first scene once you start the game
    4) iOS Maps in hybrid view with 3D mode enabled, with a WiFi assisted GPS lock on my physical location
    5) Google Maps in the same view, under the same conditions. I threw in this one to have a 32-bit app reference point.
    In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.
    The tricky part is you don’t really need all that much more memory. Unfortunately as with any dual-channel memory architecture, you’re fairly limited in how you can increase memory capacity and still get peak performance. Apple’s only move here would be to go to 2GB, which understandably comes with both power and financial costs. The former is a bigger concern for the iPhone 5s, but on the iPad Air I would’ve expected a transition sooner rather than later.

    I can't turn it off, and when i connect it to itunes, it doesn't display

    Try putting the iPad in restore mode and see if iTunes recognizes it. The steps are below:
    Turn your iPad off.
    Hold down the Home button and plug it into your computer. Keep holding the Home button until you see a screen telling you to connect to iTunes.
    iTunes should show you a popup saying that there is an iPad that is in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored before you can use it. Click OK.

  • My iPhone will only operate when connected to the PC, 2 minutes max after I disconnect it, the screen reverts to black with the apple logo and then completely black.  Restoring makes no difference; any ideas anyone? en

    my iPhone fell on the floor yesterday;  now it will ony operate when connected to the PC - then it works fine.  If I disconnect it from the PC, the screen reverts to black with the apple logo, eventually completely black;  iPhone is unresponsive until reconnected to PC.  Any ideas anyone?

    You broke it.
    It's time to find yourself a competent 3rd party repair shop or just buy a new phone. I believe you can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149 (not absolutely positive they still offer them for the 3G), but given the age of the phone and the cost, a new one might make more sense.

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!

  • Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade?  It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE!

    Am I the only one experiencing battery drain with the 6.1.3 upgrade?  It went from 100% to 63% in 7 hours WITH NO USE!  I've had worse luck with the i5 than the i4.  This is the first time I regret being in a two year contract.  I might add that this is my 3rd i5

    So now 12 days later and another replacement I'm still having issues and apple still isn't helping. My phone has started shutting off unexpectedly again today. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?

    What is the maximum resolution available for use with the Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter?

    Hey guys,
    I found out an answer by myself...
    The missing link : the MacBook Pro needs to be powered... as in you need to plug the charger in...
    In conclusion, you simply plug everything, turn on the MacBook Pro, close the lid, and there you go !

  • How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2)

    How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos I included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2). I mean, during playing the burned dvd.
    When I do "Enter Full Screen", the slide show fills the screen but the photo itself remains in the middle with a wide black border filling the rest.
    Any cure for this ?

    Hi
    In iDVD Preferences - Turn off - TV-Safe area - and the Photos will fill the full area with just letterboxing or pillars as max.
    Then "Save as a DiskImage" and test this and see if this plays better - before burning DVDs that's not as You want them.

  • When clicking on vcards, the only option available is to save the file, firefox does not let me open the vcard for immediate viewing?

    Recently, whenever I double click a vcard file, the only option available is to save the vcard. I used to be able to automatically open vcards with Outlook, now this option is not accesible. I reviewed the file type associations within the control panel of Windows 7 and Outlook is the default program for .vcf files.

    You can check the settings in Tools > Options > Applications

  • HT4623 Why does our ipad 3 keep shutting down

    Our Ipad 3 shuts down while using it, sometimes it resets and other times it does nothing. It is at the point to where you cannot even use it because it shuts down so much...less than two years old.

    I would suggest a reset by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears if this was a once r twice occurrence, but since it happens repeatedly, I would just bite the bullet and restore the iOS software. If that doesn't help, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to take a look at the iPad.
    Your battery might be going, there could be a short ... Something hardware related that you would not be able to fix on your own.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
