My ipad won't charge and I can't do a hard reboot

My iPad died while while I was using it. I tried charging it overnight but it wouldn't charge at all. I tried doing a hard reboot but that didn't work either. The screen just goes between the apple logo or the battery with two red lines on it. What can I do?

  • IPad won't backup and I can't select iCloud under settings

    iPad keeps saying it hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks and pushing the home and power key until the apple appears isn't working. When I go to settings and try to select iCloud, it is light grey and I can't select it. Please help. Thanks

  • My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

    My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

    It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time

  • Can I save my pictures as I am in Europe with my ipad and iPhone but the ipad won't charge?

    My photos didn't transfer from my ipad to iPhone.  I am in Europe for 2 more wks. My ipad won't recharge and the battery is draining.

    Your photos will still be there if your iPad turns off. Hopefully you have also turned on photo synching in iCloud? You will also then have them backed up there for at least 30 days. Follow the advice already given. Be sure you're using the proper charger and that your cable is not defective.

  • My phone won't charge and the battery is now dead, it is not the charger, what can I do?, My phone won't charge and the battery is now dead, it is not the charger, what can I do?

    MY iphone4 won't charge and the battery is now dead. It is not the charger, as I have two and they both charge my iPad. How can I fix my phone??

    This sounds like it could be something to do with the pin connector in the problematic phone - or something internally at least.
    I'm no expert but I do know that you should seek help from official Apple store. Do not be tempted to open this up yourself as it could invalidate any warranty you might have.
    My advice is to take it to your nearest Apple shop. They can look at this and replace if within warranty?

  • How can I buy more iCloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed

    How can I buy more icloud space when my ipad won't sync and has jammed.  I cannot press settings or close and cannot even turn off?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

  • My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
    2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold 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.
    3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

    Apple suggest a removal and re-install of iTunes to get over the 1601 / 1602 error message.
    Other sites suggest trying a different USB socket… direct to the PC / Mac not a hub.

  • My ipad won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable and iTunes Logo.

    My ipad won't charge.  I must admit, I did use it until there was only 2% power left and then went and plugged directly into power and not through PC... but it won't charge.  All I get is picture of white USB cable, an arrow and the iTunes Logo.  I have turned off and on again as previous posts but all I get is the picture of the USB cable, arrow and iTunes logo.  Please help...

    I have been relatively patient - 3 hours on charge but all it does is show picture of USB cable and itunes logo. It it were charging you would think that a picture of the charge would come up to indicate status of charge - wouldn't you think?

    Hi there Cristi862,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • TS3274 My iPad won't charge. Tried more than one charger.

    My IPad won't charge. I tried more then more charger...help. Plus the sound is missing for general purposes...lock sound, etc. already tried to turn on an off.

    Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? 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.
    In terms of the sounds, have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT408

  • My iPad won't charge using the charger brick

    My iPad won't charge using the charger brick

    you can try giving your device a reset and see if that helps. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try. If that doesn't fix it, then time to move onto other trouble shooting.
    Usually if an iPad won't charge (presuming you're using the supplied charger plugged into the wall), it's:
    bad brick
    bad cable
    bad outlet
    bad port on the iPad
    you can eliminate the first three by swapping out chargers if you have another, swapping out cables and trying a different outlet. If you do that and eliminate the first three, then it may be the port on your iPad. If so, and your iPad is still under warranty, make an appointment at your local apple store and take it in.

  • What do you do if ipad won't charge?

    what do you do if ipad won't charge?

    First, try to plug your iPad into the USB port of your pc (if it's a lap top it has to be pugged in). If that charges the battery than you just need a new wall charger.  If that doesn't work than you probably need a new iPad because the battery is dead. Just take it to an Apple Store and see what they can do. They may be willing to run further diagnostics for free.
