My iPad just went blank! There's a message about it needs to be restored - what does that mean?

I went to sync my iPad 2 with iTunes today. It asked me to update the most recent version but then it went blank! It won't turn on at all - help!

If iTunes told you that the iPad needs to be restored, the message seems pretty clear to me. The iPad needs to be restored within iTunes.

There's a cross in the battery-icon..;what does that mean?

well,everything is in the subject...thank you for every little help,i'm new in using a mac,and i'm aware that maybe this question seems completely stupid to some of you!:)
thx

thank you for your answers.
well,it definitivly didn't help to put the mb to sleep and reawake,nor to shut it off,and restart.
I read about the PMU test,but i don't have the problems that my mb isn't responsive anymore!...
but I turned the mac off, disconnected the AC Adapter and removed the computer's battery.
Pressed and hold down the power button for 5 seconds(and more..) and then released the button.
I reconnected the battery and AC Adapter,pressed the Power button to restart the computer,it worked,but the cross is still there!!
...i m so scared because i fear that it shuts down one time without warning(ike yesterday because the battery was low i think,but WITHOUT WARNING...)
and that the power adapter doesnt work any more..
But now it seems to recharge the battery nontheless,the button is red,orange..
Ive got to say that i had a problem with this mac from the beginning,actually it always shut down witout warning after a few minutes,i gave it back,they had to install a new piece i think(and which came from japan,so i had to wait 3weeks!-)
I often have to do the PRAM reset before the mb turns on..
so,as long as it works,as long as it is only the icon which is strange,i m happy!
..so..i don't know ifi really need to do the pmu rese,as they say it should only be done if nothing else works!
thnak you for reading me.

Keep getting message "ipad cannot be synced, unknown error (1150)...what does that mean?

Whenever I try to sync my iPad I keep getting message "iPad cannot be synced, unknown error" with code (1150). What does that mean?

This happened to me after I upgraded to iOS6.
Tried everything I could find in a common thread here on the site, but what finally worked was...well, the last thing I did before it allowed a sync, I guess I can't say for sure that this is the problem, but...somehow, in the sync settings for the iPad, the "Sync Only Checked Songs and Videos" box had become unchecked. Clearly, there isn't enough room on the iPad for everything on the laptop, so I think this may have been choking it.
Worked fine at that point.
And, for what it's worth, I looked at the Music tab for my iPad in iTunes, and THERE it said only to use selected artists and playlists, but on the main SUMMARY page, the box was unchecked.
Oh, and I updated all the apps on the iPad (73 updates??) before trying the sync, so that might be a factor too.
Good luck.

The genius bar is the service desk at the Apple Store. If there are no Apple Stores in your country, then check the Apple website to find an authorized service provider.
Apple charges US$99 to replace the battery in an iPad (any model).

It's a really bad idea to post your iPhone's serial number and I've asked the Hosts to remove it.
Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts. As you have apparently already created three accounts (or if it's a used phone the previous owner did) you cannot create any more one it. This is tied to the hardware, not the account, and there is no way round it.
You can create a new iCloud account on another iOS device or on a Mac, and then you will be able to sign into that on your iPhone.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the corrupt tracks from the music section of your iTunes library, close & then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Check online with the web site of the maker of your video card for an updated driver (assuming you're running Windows).
