My iPad is dead, won't charge, won't even turn on. Please HELP?

My iPad was at 73% when I took a walk earlier it was hooked up to the charger, the screen was off, and nothing could've happened to it. Once I came back home my iPad was completely dead and wouldn't turn back on. I've tried the 2 button method and it hasn't worked. Nothing has worked, it's still not turning on and it's been doing this for 3 hours now. I've had my iPad since I was 13, I'm 16 now and really don't need it having to be comepletely reset. Too many memories to lose. Please, somebody help me?

Hi, summer.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
I understand that your iPad will not power on.  Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this issue.  
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
Keep in mind that the step referencing Forced Recovery will wipe your data, so verify if you have a backup via the second article below.  
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
Cheers,

  • IPad died and won't open again. Please help

    I was using facetime when my iPad died and it won't open again. I charged it and after 15 mins. I tried holding down the home and sleep/wake button for a long time but it didn't work. Shall I bring it to the service center?

    Thanks very much for the advice.
    I'm glad to say that you were right.
    Interestingly, I could not SEE the Preview plist file in there when I looked, but when I did a 'find', there it was. Strange eh?
    Once deleted, the problem was solved.
    Thanks again

  • I just re-downloaded i tunes, it won't even start. Please help.

    It just won't start, don't what to do...

    No message at all, i click on the itunes icon on the desktop, the blue circle appears for 1 second then disappears, nothing happens...

    Doublechecking. Have you worked through the following troubleshooting document?

  • ITunes 7.6 won't even open! please help!!

    Since switching to Mac I've had nothing but a long list of problems! I'm already on my 3rd battery for my MacBook Pro in under a year, I upgraded to Leopard only to experience the problems people have faced with that i.e. couldn't drag anything, couldn't copy or paste etc. so I have clean installed back to Tiger and now, 3 weeks later I'm still without itunes as the newest one just bounces in the doc and wont open1 ARRGGH! That makes my ipod totally useless so almost £1500 worth of Apple products useless!
    I've tried to install a previous version of itune but when I try and open my music it says that it cannot open because the tracks we're created in a newer version of itunes....
    Please can someone help me! I need everything to be working properly for work and i'm going to throw this thing out the window soon!!!
    Anyone else had these problems and fixed it??

    Lisa, I think you should probably post over in the Tiger forum and let them know what's going on and where we've gotten to. Someone there is probably more knowledgeable in what you need to do next. The only other info I have found suggested doing an erase and install of the OS, but....it sounds like you just did that? And it sounds like you've already tried trashing and re-installing iTunes.
    One other thing...when it says that you have Read and Write permission on those files, look below that to where you see Details and click that little triangle. Then click on Apply to Enclosed Items. (permissions could have gotten messed up on a sub-folder but not the main folder.) If that doesn't help...I'd post in the Tiger forum. But at least we have made some progress that should help to move you closer to a resolution.
    Also...are you positive that you're running OS 10.4.11 since reinstalling Tiger? (iTunes 7.6 will not work on lower versions of 10.4 -- although, yes, it does run on 10.3.9, which is what I'm running.)
    AND....have you tried going to the Applications on your hard drive and opening the iTunes app from there? Instead of from the Dock?

    I just upgraded my ipad 2 on apple's advice now can't do the back-up on my now-empty ipad! itunes won't recognise my password! help help

    Just for information in case helps anyone else, I have now accessed the back-up, I tried a different password from memory but it is not the normal iTunes password I use - which is what you'd expect them to be after. Now I don't know how to get the app collection back onto the screen, they aren't opening. Wish I never had upgraded...

    My pc only recognises my iPad 2 as a camera won't sync in iTunes please help

    I take it that it is through Wiindows Explorer you are able to track the iPad as an external device?
    Disconnect your iPad and try a Reset - hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds.
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your PC.
    Also, try a different USB port on your PC, a few times if necessary.

  • Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.

    The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
    Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
    If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

  • Water got on screen, now ipad won't even turn on, is this fixable and at approximately what cost?

    Water got onto screen of ipad, now won't even turn on. Is this fixable and at approximately what cost?

    Apple does not repair iPads, but will replace the entire iPad for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/service/faq/
    There are independent iPad repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipad repair".
    Regards.

  • I've followed all the instructions in order to restore my ipod touch yet it won't even turn off or show the red slipper to shut down. I've tried holding down both buttons each at a time it doesn't do anything. Anybody ever experience this? If so help?

    I've followed all the instructions in order to restore my ipod touch yet it won't even turn off or show the red slipper to shut down. I've tried holding down both buttons each at a time it doesn't do anything. Anybody ever experience this? If so help? Should I just go to the apple store?

    Try:
    - 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 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.

  • I bought an external hard drive in June (this yr) and it suddenly stopped appearing on the desktop. Disk Utility could see it. It wasn't the cord - now that I've tried that, the ext won't even turn on. I need that data off the drive BADLY! Help!!??

    The drive stopped showing up consistently at first, then stopped all together. Disk Utilities could see it, verify it but not repair. I need it backed up. I took it to a local computer shop who tried a different cord. Nothing. When I got home, I read through several support forums dealing with this issue. One said I needed to zap my PRAM on my MacBook. I did so. Now the external won't even turn on! Any hope of getting the data off that drive? It is still under warranty but undoubtedly the firm will NOT attempt to back up the drive before issuing a new one. I downloaded something called TestDisk 6 that another forum suggested but no one offered any clue how to use it. I cannot figure the first thing to do with it! It appears to may be a Windows formatted program, anyway as most of the instructions end in the suffix .exe. I'm at a total loss...both personally as well as having already lost a complete week of business. Any suggestions would be appreciated but please note - I am NOT that computer literate. Just telling me to download something won't help me if I can't figure out what to do once it is downloaded. Also, taking this hard drive apart will void my warranty. Not that that is the biggest of my worries at this point but I wouldn't have the first clue anyway! I live in an area where we have something called Mac Authority in the mall and a Best Buy. Those are the only 2 connections to Mac-related stuff I have access to. Help!!! Please?

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

  • How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV?  It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore.  Please help.

    How do I add a playlist to iTunes Match so that it'll appear on my Apple TV?  It was appeared on it before but ever since I added some CDs to the playlist, it won't show anymore.  Please help.

    When new content is added to a playlist it has to be updated for it to be available across devices. If it's content that isn't matched the playlist is removed from the cloud. Did you make sure to access store - update iTunes Match? It should do it automatically after a few minutes but the odd time I have to force it.
    Other than that may want to try reboot, log out/in.
