My ipad will not turn on, charge, connect to itunes, or restart

Please help I've read through so many forums and all of them saying the same "hold down the home screen and top button" which wont work so I really need help. I got the ipad as a gift but havent used it for about 2 months and its been sitting on the same place on my desk ever since. I decided to start using it again and plugged it in to charge and it wont charge or connect to my itunes on my computer. I don't know what to do

Yea I feel rather stupid it finally turned on after 30 minutes of charging... Still seems excessive to me HAHA but I guess it makes sense. Thank you anways (:

My ipad will not turn on/charge, itunes will not recognize ipad, has been charging for hours power and sleep button did not work

My ipad will not turn on/charge. has been charging for hours. Itunes will not recognize it and i have tried the power/sleep button as well. PLEASE HELP!

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it hasn't been, here are some standard repair procedures:
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.

Ipad will not turn on but shows in itunes?

I have an iPad 4S which has been working absolutely perfectly until now. I put it on charge after it ran out and it will not turn on now. I have connected it to my PC and it shows up in iTunes but still won't turn on. At one point I tried moving the lock screen switch and this made the "Padlock" icon visible but nothing else.
Now the screen stays dark other than when I press the main start button and then I can see the Padlock icon and nothing else.
I am on iOS 8.1.1
Can anyone help?
Thanks

IPad will not turn on or sync with iTunes.

my ipad 2 has been running well and i always put it on my bedside table when i go to bed. however, when i woke up this morning, my ipad is not working, (the screen will not turn on) it makes no noises and seems lifeless. i have tried to plug it into itunes on my mac and it has not recognized the ipad. i have tested to see if its itunes that is not working but it sync's fine with my iphone. it has not come into contact with water and has worked fine for the past months. thank you and please help me, g.

Have you tried a reset ? 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.

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 3rd Generation Ipod Touch (32 gigabytes) will not turn on or connect with iTunes

I set my ipod down, it was at near full battery, when I tried to unlock my ipod again, the screen stayed black. I tried holding down the lock button. Holding down both the lock button and the home button, and I tried connecting it to iTunes (nothing happened when I tried any of them). If anybody has any suggestions or ideas it would be much appreciated.

- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will alow a restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode.

TS1398 first off my ipad will not turn on by just pressing the on button,although its fully charge. ok than when I plug it up its says wifi is not connected

First off my ipad will not turn on by pushing the start button. when plug up and after touching setting,wi-fi on the left says not connected

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Hold power and home until apple logo appears.
And make sure the outlet is good.
Or try the first but by plugging it in.

Hi,
Does anything appear on the screen at all, e.g: Apple Logo etc?
