My iPad screen seems to have frozen

My iPad screen seems to have frozen and I cannot even power off any suggestions?

Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    My ipad screen seems to have frozen. I tried to turn it off and the red slider does not respond when I slide it. What can I do?

    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple it's rebooting. Let it do that and see if you're unfrozen.

  • I have an Ipad mini but the screen seems to have a sticking problem

    I have an Ipad mini but the screen seems to have a sticking problem around the O&P DELETE area if in Landscape mode which results in the continual typing of these if in Keyboard mode or the selecting of whichever app is in that area despite me not actually touching it. Any ideas how this can be fixed at all?

  • My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of its own. Please help

    My iphone 5 touch screen seems to have a mind of it's own. Whilst I am trying to type a text message it will quite often whilst i'm tapping on letters, typr different letters, or open up the edit messages to select and delete messages.
    The screen can quite often take up to 5 attempts to use the home button when the phone it locked to bring up the swipe to unlock, and even then sometimes it will take 4 or more attempts to swpie to unlock.
    Most recently I was on FB chatting and whilst typing, the letters were all coming out completely wrong, and then it was taking me into completely different screens, screens that whilst i'm tapping letters at the bottom on the screen, i'd have to ne touching a button at the top of the screem to actualy get into - yet my phone is doing it on it's own.
    It has even whilst sittig next to me on the bed, scrolled from my "home page" to the next page over ???
    i have spoken to Telstra who suggested a network restore, this did nothing. They suggested doing a back up, the a complete restore, which I am hesistant in doing as I have a fear of losing everything on my phone esxpecially my contacts, despite having done a back up.
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Restart your iPhone...
    Hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the red slider then swipe to power off. Then hold down the sleep / wake button until you see the Apple logo.
    Try the keyboard. If that doesn't help, try force quitting the app you are using when the keyboard becomes unusable.
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then press and hold the Home button until the app quits.

  • The tools on Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 seemed to have frozen. The crop symbol is 3 of the symbols nest to each other. The hand move tool is not one hand but 3 next to each other. Other tools won't work at all. Really nice!

    Ya, okay ! I use a number of PSE programs, one of which is PSE 9. The tools for some reason seem to have frozen. When I use the move tool I don't get just one hand but 3 hand symbols all next to each other. Same thing with the crop tool, I don't get one symbol but 3 all next to each other. There are a couple of tools that just don't work at all.  It's like the PSE 9 got hit with some virus or sorts. Oh well, live and learn.  Trying to get through to tech service is next to impossible.

    Have you seen this other thread you started about this problem?
    Photoshop Elements 9 is messed up.
    Did you use Barbara's fix?
    It would be less confusing if you only posted this question once, not three times:
    HOW DO I RESET ALL THE TOOLS IN PSE 9 ? THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP AND DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TOOLS. I TOUCH THE HAND AND I GET 3 HANDS, I TRY TO USE THE CROP AND I GET 3 SMALL CIRCLES.  THE CURSOR IS REALLY MESSED UP. DO I HAVE TO GET ANOTHER PSE 9 ?

  • My printer HP color laser jet CP1215 seems to have frozen and no matter what i do it won't restart

    I have the HP color laser jet CP1215 and it seems to have frozen. I have tried unplugging and replugging the printer as well as just turning it on and off. I was able to delete some of the documents in the queue but there is one that I cannot delete and it is freezing the printer.

    Hi,
    If that did not work there is more wrong than just a hanging printjob, the step should have removed it.
    Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.
    Although I work for HP my posts and replies are my own

    My apple tv seems to have frozen during update. What do I do ?

    Hi iphoneozqld,
    If your Apple TV appears to have stopped updating, I would recommend a restart, and if issues continue, a restore:

  • HT6114 My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour.

    My iMac seems to have frozen during the update- how long should I expect the update to take? The 'installing software update' bar is still showing itself working but has been stuck in the same position for over an hour. Any thoughts?

    Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
    Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
    Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

  • My iPhoto seems to have frozen. Was importing photos went to the import selected, it tells me it's importing them but nothing is happening and I can't click on any buttons to stop the import. Any help would be great. Thanks

    My iPhoto seems to have frozen, hooked my camera up to my MacBook selected the images I wanted imported and left the room for five minutes. When I came back it said it was still importing which I thought was funny as I was only importing 6 images. I tried to stop the import but the buttons are no longer highlighted and I can not shut down iphoto as it tells me it is still importing photos. Any help with this would be great as I have to get these photos uploaded for my assignment for school.
    Thanks

    Did you OK the option to have the application delete the photos off the memory card?  If not then just force quit iPhoto by typing Command+Option+Esc.  Then select iPhoto to force quit.
    If you did OK the option to delete the memory card I'm not sure if force quitting iPhoto will abort that function. You might try disconnecting the camera and then force quit iPhoto.
    If you do find that the photos were deleted and are not in the library you can recover them from the memory stick with an application like MediaRECOVER.  You can run it in demo mode to verify it can see and recover the photos on your card before you have to purchase it.

    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)

  • My Imac screen seems to be frozen,what can I do?

    My relatively new I Mac seems to have just froze when I was installing Microsoft office onto it . My cursor is working, but the screen is just a white. Is there anything I can do?

    I think I would reset the SMC and then delete the software that seems to have been associated with the problem.
