My ipad just died. It was fully charged. Is it the battery?
I can't even turn the thing on. Tried in vain to contact support, but have to pay $29 for a single service question. According to the warranty, they will only replace a battery with 50% or more power. Is it worth the $99 service fee or just buy a replacement battery. Could it be something else?
Did you try a reset?
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 - let go of the buttons.

Since an iphone battery lasts for 300-500 cycles before losing its juice, can I just continuously connect my iphone to the power supply to avoid using the battery, like how I use my macbook.
Yes, you can but best read this

Why is my battery percentage going up and down while charging? It's not rapid, for example, it was on 78% for 10 minutes, jumped up to 79% for 30 minutes and then it just jumped back down to 78%

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

My ipad will not turn on. It was fully charged before it just died and would not turn back on. When I hook it up to my computer on itunes it says cannot connect because it is locked with a passcode. I know my passcode but the screen is just black, no power, so I cannot enter a pass code.
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Hold Sleep/Wake button down and slide to turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (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 iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"... -
My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.
That is indicating that the device has gone into recovery mode. Press just the Power button until the red Power Off slider appears and slide to turn it off. Then power it back up to see if it has exited Recovery Mode. If it has, then you should be good to go.
If it has not, then the issue you had that caused the iPad to turn off was one that put your device into Recovery mode requiring that you go through the recovery process (i.e., the reset did not process since the issue required a recovery to resolve). Here is a link that explains what you need to do to get out of Recovery Mode in that case:

Take it back to the Apple Store for repair since it's still in warranty.

My ipad just went blank...any ideas on what I can do instead of taking for repairs. It's under 2 years old and was fully charged.
Try resetting ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, try restoring..

The Ipad Air was working fine - then it went blank. It will not turn on again. It was fully charged It is less than 2 months old.
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

So I just updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6 and was having fun trying the panorama pictures, and all of the sudden my phone turned off (it was fully charged so it's not out of batery and it felt warm) and it has since not turned on again. Suggestions?
Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality. -
Hey my ipad 3 was fully charged. But all of a sudden it got switched off and I cannot switch it back. I connected it to a charger but there was no improvements. I also tried pressing the top button for 30 seconds. Nothing seems to switch it on. Could you please tell me what to do?

iPad completely inop. Paperweight now. Was fully charged when last used yesterday. Charger works with iPhone, but will not give provide "tone" when connected to iPad. Any suggestion?
I'm not so sure that this will work but it is always worth a try. Reset the iPad.

While talking on the phone this morning, it was fully charged, the screen went blank and I could no longer use the phone. I tried turing it off and then on, but it still ghad a blank screen. I even tried charging the phone, but it still has a blank screen.
I am sorry to hear about your phone.
You could try connecting it to your laptop and see if itune recognises the phone.
If it does then make a backup of your phone.
You could then restore it and see if it helps.
It shouldn't be much of a problem if its a software issue but if something went wrong with the hardware then you might have to go to an Apple store.
Hope this helps -
I purchased my macbook pro about two months ago. I had no issues with it what so ever. This morning i took it off the charger because it was fully charged because it showed the green light.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like the logic board has failed, but first try a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If it does not work, take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. You will get the MacBook repaired for free
