My ipad won't lock and camera is frozen

so, i had not charged my ipad for about a month and when i turned it on, the lock/sleep or whatever button wouldn't work. i tried using assistive touch to lock my ipad and it didn't work either. i turned it off hoping that would fix the problem but then i couldn't turn it on. i plugged it in and it showed the apple thing. and my camera is frozen and i already closed all the apps. also, my ipad is very slow, lags and crashes a lot. what can i do?
thanks.

My ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it....help..help!

my ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

My iPad is not responding. It does not unlock. I have a message: iCloud Backup, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". My Question: plugged in to WHAT? locked, HOW? and how to connect to Wi-Fi when my iPad does not respond to anything I do with it? PLEASE HELP.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
The iPad makes a backup into iCloud automatically when it's connected to the network and it is been charged

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

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.

HT1212 I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad

I forgot my passcode and i have no backup of my Ipad, it is locked and disabled, can anyone help to restore factory settings atleast as a new ipad

Hey salosawaya,
If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
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 shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

Viewing excel sheet on iPad with top row and leftmost column frozen

I Wish to view excel sheets on iPad with leftmost column and top row frozen the way it is in excel so that one can move side wards and down with headings intact

You can try converting the top row to a Header Row and the leftmost column to a Header Column.

My iPad WON'T lock now

Well, at the start I found the "slide to unlock" annoying. So I changed the Settings on IPad Cover Lock/Unlock to OFF. I also changed the Auto-Lock to NEVER.
THEN I changed my mind and decided I wanted the "Slide to unlock" feature back. I changed the Auto-Lock to 2 minutes and the iPad Cover Lock/Unlock to ON.
It won't lock any more. When I open my iPad, the Home pages is always there. Any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say I did that too.

IPad sim card locked and I can't unlock my own device after I had to restore it to factory settings, due to technical issues.

I recently restored my iPad to its factory settings, and upon restart the iPad sim card was locked and the device was asking for a PUK code. I have no idea what to do next. Can someone please help me? I've had my iPad for over 3 years now, and I am lost! I am sure I can figure this out without having to call any service provider, because the iPad should work on just wifi alone, I never had it set up for 3G even though it is an available option on my device.
Thank you to anyone who can help!

All you can do is connect the iPod to a computer and try to get the music off using a third-party program like the free iFunBox. However, if the iPod's screen says disable or when you connect the iPod to a computer with iTunes it asks for the passcode to be entered on the iPod and you can't do that you will not be able to get anything off the iPod unless a data recovery company can do that.

HT4053 Hi on my iPad Desk Top I have the following message: 2This iPadhasn't been backed up in 2 weeks Backups happen when the iPad is plugeed locked, and connected in, locked, and onnected to WI-fI. Tapping ok doesn't do anything

Hi on my IPad Desk top I have the following message:
"This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks> Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. When I tap Ok nothing happens.
The slide to unlock doesn't work wither. Can you help, please?

Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Just FYI, this is the iPhone forum.
