My IPad was trying to update several apps....seemed it was taking too long so I turned IPad off.  It would not come back on.....only see the apple icon coming and going

I was using my IPad when an update message came up saying there was an update from Pinterest.  I clicked for it to update....along with 4 other apps updating.  It seemed to be taking a very long time to update so I turned off my IPad.....Thinking back now, I don't think the red bar came up to shut it down....it just closed down.  Now, when I try to turn it on, all I get is the apple lighting up....off and on.  I tried hooking it up to my Mac but it won't register.  Any ideas.

With the iPad on try holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

    Hi tried to update several apps at once and now they are stuck on installing.I can't open or delete them. Any suggestions ?

    Here are a number of things that have worked in the past that you can try. If you already tried something in here, just ignore it.
    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 - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • My ipod all of a sudden blacked out and now it only shows the apple icon. When i press the on/off or home button it still remains with the apple icon. I tried plugging it to my lap top and going to i tunes but it says there is an error in the device

    I was looking through my pictures and when i tapped to see a specific one my ipod blacked out. Now the screen only shows the apple icon and I cant go anywhere. I tried preshing the on/off and home button but it won't work. I even pressed both at the same time for 10 seconds and still nothing... I connected it to my lap top and went to my itunes account but it tells me that the device that i just plugged in has an error. I already tried plugging it back in several times and it still won't work. I don't know what else to do. I havn't had it for a whole year yet so its still insured to the apple company right? at least thats what I heard

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

  • After changing the battery in my iphone 4s, the phone will not boot up. I only see the apple and when it sits for a few minutes, a code shows above it. What is going on? Did I damage the phone by replacing the battery?

    My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.

    iPhones are not user servicable.
    Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one.

    all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

    Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
    Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?

    Hi
    I am having problems downloading 2 purchased movies. Cars 2 & Toy Story. I had it on My iPad, then after a while the movies would not play. I went to the apple store and they deleted it and told me that all I need to do is download it again. I tried what they suggested at the apple store, but I am still not successful. It continues to tell me there is a download error. Please help! Need these movies for my 3 year old!

  • My Ipad device is only showing the apple icon nothing else is happening..what's wrong

    How do I get my screen to come back on, it is only showing the apple icon.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I was trying to update an app but now I can't close it down.  I have tried most things - it keeps saying I must close down the app but it doesn't allow me to do this.  I have powered off the computer but it just comes back.  Any suggestions?

    I had been trying to update an app on my IMac and when it came to do it, it said I must close down the app site, in this case WeatherEye.  However, I could not close it down and update says it is waiting.  I have tried everything I know to get rid of this but it remains even when powering off the machine.  Any suggestions?

  • I downloaded the IOS 6.1.2 on my iPad since this morning and I still see the apple icon...

    what do I do when I downloaded IOS 6.1.2 and still have the apple icon on my ipad...I can't turn off my Ipad

    If the above doesn't work, you'll have to force the iPad into Recovery Mode.
    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • My iMessage will not come on. I hit the switch to on and it automatically goes back to off. Help!

    Every time I try to turn on my iMessage it will not come on. I toggle the switch from off to on and it automatically goes back to off. I've made sure that there are no restrictions on and every other thing I could think of, but still to no avail. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

        Thanks for your efforts, jcma323. I'm going to send you a Direct Message. We'll get to the bottom of this.
