My iPad mini will not turn on for some reason.

I have my iPad mini, and for some reason it will not turn on. Earlier this morning it was on and working just fine, and then when I got it to get on it and play some games, it was not responding and the screen was just blank. I have no idea why it is doing this, so I would like to have some answers, because in class we need it sometimes, aka algebra. (It is my own personal iPad, not the schools)

What have you tried ?
Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take about 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My home button stopped working and now iPad mini will not turn.

My home button stopped working a few weeks ago, and now my iPad mini will not turn on. I can't restart the iPad, and it will not pop up in iTunes. What can I do?

Make an appointment with the nearest apple store and they will be able to replace it or give you directions otherwise. Hope this helps

You can try recovery mode to see if you can revive the iPad.

Have you left the iPad charging for a couple of hours or so to be sure?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

My ipad mini will not turn on at all. Please Help!

Hello everyone, this morning i went to turn on my ipad mini and it would not turn on. I've tried plugging it in to both the wall and computer and leaving it there for around 30 minutes and still nothing, black screen. I've also tried holding the power and home button for 10 seconds or so and still nothing. Nothing happens when I plug it into my computer. The ipad is just about 2 years old now and i'm starting to think its just dead. But before i throw it out is there anything else i could try? Thanks to everyone who responds.

Try again to charge your iPad using the wall charger that came with it. Plug the charger into a known good wall outlet. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes then reset the iPad by pressing and holding both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%. If the iPad does not restart make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support..

HT4061 My iPad Mini will not turn on or power up?

The other night when I was updating an app, my iPad Mini screen click and was frozen. I took a trip to the AT&T store yesterday and they tried to recharge, but the screen was frozen. As of today, I can not power up.
Please Help!
Thank you,

Is the screen lighting up when your press the home button?. If so a restore would be the next recommended route.
To restore your device fallow the steps below. please note your computer will need internet to do this.
1. Put the device into restore mode. [ Power off Device, Then hold home button with device still powered off. then plug the Data Cable into the device. keep holding the Home button.{ please note the data cable needs to be plugged into the computer for this.} After that you should get a iTunes icon on the screen.]
When that comes on. the computer should respond to it. and iTunes will let you know there is a device detected in a Restore mode.
2. Click on the restore button on the computer. Then iTunes will start to download the new iOS for your iPad. [also note. if the download takes longer than 20 mins. You will probably have to put the device back into restore mode.]
If after this step if your device is not responding then there is a hardware problem. and not a software problem.

Ipad mini will not turn on or connect to itunes.

I turned off my ipad mini after closing the appstore and when i went to turn it back on, the apple logo started up for a few seconds, the screen brightness lights up, then it goes dim and stays on the apple logo forever. I have tried letting it go dead but when i boot it up it does this everytime. I cannot reset it because Itunes wont detect it. I have a warranty but i dont want to have to come to that, can anyone help me with this?

My iPad mini will not turn on, after the newest update.

Just received an iPad mini from my mother the iPad was up and running. I put the new update on it Friday night and Saturday evening plugging it in but it still had battery. Went back to look at it and it was black screened plugged in. I unplugged try to turn it on and it won't start up. I tried to reset with holding the off and home button. Didn't work. I tried to reboot with the computer and it does even recognize it. Please help!

Hold the home and power button downs until it restarts. If iTunes doesn't recognize it, get it replaced. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Ipad mini will not charge or turn on

ipad mini will not charge or turn on, I have tried rebooting and also charging from wall. Apple icon doesn't appear even if I leave plugged in for an hour

Well my problem is now solved, both devices are bricked, Apple Store replaced both devices today, After talking with my daughter had the iPad mini was charging and it updated iOS8.1.3 and then bricked, tried all the things you suggested with both devices. Yes, I agree about not letting my devices die, this was the first time my phone had died in 5 months but I firmly believe iOS 8.1.3 was the cause of both devices demise. Apple checked both devices and promptly replaced both in about 30 minutes. I hope this is not the way Apple is planning on continuing with software updates. I have 10 apple devices and have been a strong supporter of their company, but these kind of half done updates are the reason I removed all Microsoft products from our household 7 years ago!

IPad mini will not alert for skype and facetime calls. Everything is on. This started after one of the updates after ios 7.

HHow many times do I have to write this?!?
ipad mini will not alert for facetime or skype calls. Yes everything is on. No, mute is not on. Fed up!

Hello, pleaseacceptthisalias.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would first start with forcing all applications to close and power cycle the device. Once this is done, have someone make a test call using these applications. If the issue persists, see the steps in the second article.

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
