My IPad screen is not responsive to unlock.

My Ipad screen allows me to put in the passcode but will not allow me to swipe to unlock. Itunes is unable to fix as it says the IPad is locked with a passcode. It goes to the apple logo every few seconds.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    Touch screen input not responsive. Cannot slide to power off. Appear message "iCloud Backup: This ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 week. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi" Touch OK but nothing change. Does follow instruction but nothing works

    Thank you for your help.
    I did all of trouble shooting procedures but it did not work.
    I called Apple Care and explained what kind of problem i had and they booked me up with Genius Bar @ Apple Retail Store.
    I went to them last Saturday and they replace my troubled iPhone with the new.
    they said it is very rare problem reported so far and i could be the first few ones.
    it was no hassle and they all were very kindly listened to me.
    anyway, problem solved with replacement and i was lucky to have back up for iPhone.
    Anyone has same problem, call 800-MY-IPHONE and book yourself to nearest Genius Bar to get your iPhone served or replaced.
    thanks

  • My iPad screen is not displaying apps or app screens.

    Hello,
    My iPad screen is not displaying any apps at all. There are no app screens - it isn't that I am not swiping left. My wallpaper is still showing, and the only actions I can perform is pulling down the notification screen and pulling up the convenience bar. It doesn't lock so I can't restart it from iTunes. What is happening?
    I have an iPad with iOS 8.1.1
    Thanks

    Try a reset. Press and hold both the Home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both fingers. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own.
    If the apps are still missing  tell Siri to open settings. Then go to general> reset> reset home screen layout.
    Also you can ask Siri to open a app to make sure they are still there.

    ipad screen will not slide. Tried resetting and a factory reset but still will not work.

    I have the same issue on my Ipad Air.  Screen will not rotate, I have reset the settings, still only displays in the portrait mode.  A couple of interesting things though.  a couple of days before it completely locked up into portrait I would have to turn the ipad off and hold it in the orientation I wanted because it would not change orientation after I was in an app.
    Also, I just played a Netflix video and it was in landscape mode.
    Any ideas?
      Thanks,

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPad screen does not turning

    My iPad screen does not turning. What is problem?

    Hello Stephencho41,
    It sounds like you are unable to turn on your iPad. Although the following article is about the iPhone, the information and troubleshooting is the same for the iPad as well, so I recommend these steps specifically to help you out:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My ipad mini screen will not slide to unlock

    My IPad mini screen will not unlock. It was fine one minute and the next, I couldn't slide it to unlock it.

    Does anything happen when you touch the screen, the slider doesn't get a box around it (which would indicate VoiceOver being 'on') ?
    If not then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

    my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

    What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
    Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPad screen will not rotate.

    IIn settings there is. Check mark by 'lock rotation' .   Is thisreverting my screen from rotating?  If so, how do I unlock it?

    Do you see an icon in the upper right corner of your screen that looks like a small lock with a circular arrow around it? If so that icon is telling you that you have screen rotation locked and the screen will not rotate. To turn this off depends on the version of iOS that is on your iPad. The latest versions of iOS have the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal the Control Center and look for that icon. Tap on it to turn it off or on.
    Your iPad may also have the side switch set to lock rotation. This switch is on the side of the iPad. Toggle the switch and see if the icon for Rotation Lock disappears from your screen.

  • I have a 4th generation iTouch and the screen will not slide to unlock. I have tried resetting it. Any tips?

    My iTouch touch screen will not work. When I go to unlock it, to slide the thing on the bottom of the screen, it doesn't even seem to sense that the screen is being touched. Also, because of this, I cannot turn it off because the screen doesn't know I'm trying to slide the power off slide on the screen. I have tried holding the power button and the button on the bottom to reset it, but it didn't help. Is there anything else I could try?

    If it still does it after a restore, you most likely have a bad screen digitizer. Contact Apple and get it repaired.

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • IPad screen bottom not responding

    The bottom of my iPad 2 is completely dead.  about 1.5cm of the screen is not responding to touch.  Each time i want to access that part of the screen I need to flip the iPad around.  All applications, battery, etc work just fine but it is becoming annoying having to flip the iPad over and over again with some application just to press a button or type something.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Not likely that the abce will help but it is always a good first thing to try. I really think though you'll need to have you iPad checked out by a technician. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
