My iPad won't wake. What do I do?

My iPad is stuck in sleep/locked mode. I have an apple smart case and I opened the cover and it didn't wake/unlock and nothing seems to turn the screen on. Does anyone know what I should do?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

My iPad won't charge what is wrong?

My iPad does not charge what is wrong ?

Are you using the charger that came with the iPad? And do you have that plugged into a known good wall outlet?
If yes then there are very few things that can be wrong.
1. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
2. No power to the outlet.
3. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
4. Charging port has lint or dirt in it. Check and carefully clean if necessary.
5. Software failure. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

After updates Apple TV and ipad won't wake mac

Since the latest update to Maverick and new itunes and Apple TV software neither my ipad or Apple TV will load my library from itunes. I have to go to the imac and wake it myself. Home sharing is on, I have done a hard reset of my time capsule, reset my Apple TV, restarted the imac, checked network settings to make sure my router is listed and at the top of the list. Airport utility is signed in to my Apple ID. Is there anything I am missing? This only started since the updates.

Hello John,
Thank you so much for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accessing iTunes through your Apple TV and iPad. You have taken some really good steps to help isolate and troubleshoot the issue.
One additional thing that is important to check is if "Wake for network access" is enabled in System Preferences>Energy Saver. This will allow your iMac to wake from sleep when your Apple TV or iPad is trying to access it through the network.
You can find out more about this feature and other Energy Saver preferences in the following link:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

IPad won't wake up.

iPad 3rd generation doesn't wake up when Smart Cover is opened. I must mess with start button to wake it up. Basic reset (hold Home and Start buttons) didn't fix the issue. Any suggestions?

Hi jj,
Did you try resetting the device? Nothing will be lost: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, you should be all set.
Cheers,

IPad won't wake/sleep button unresponsive...

Hey, my iPad's safari is frozen...however, when I try to hold the "wake/sleep" button waiting for the "red-slider" to appear nothing happens. Any suggestions??

This involves the sleep button but it just might work so try it.
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.

My iPad won't charge, what do I do?

I have an ipad 2. Up until this morning, it would charge fine. However after trying several different chargers, restarting and resetting the ipad, it still will not charge. Any suggestions?

My screen froze while playing a game and the iPad could not be shut down. Had to wait for battery to run down. Several attempts to recover with iTunes were not successful. Suggestions?

What to do now when my iPad won't turn on after I turn it off. It shows only the apple logo. I am sure it has above 70% charge as when I sync my iPad it shows necessary detail in iTunes. I have tried, HOME & POWER button, but did not work.

My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

My daughter has 2 websites she can not fully access because the iPad won't download updates for Adobe. What is Apple doing to solve this problem?

Flash has been used for more than just displaying videos. The Vote choice your daughter found is one of those flash type sites that will not display on iOS devices. There are now over 100 million iPads, and who knows how many more iPhones out there. Developers who want their content to display on all these devices will have to move away from the old Flash technology.
There were some version of Flash that ran on other brands of tablets. But Adobe has stopped all development of Flash for all mobile devices. As time goes on and mobile operating systems evolve the no Apple devices will lose their ability to run Flash too. Web developers need to move on to cleaner, more efficient types of programming.

Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. What do I do now?

Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. It was set up and has been in use for about a year. What do I do now?

I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

What were you doing when this happened? Is it charged?
Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My ipad used to print to my HP B210 eprinter, now it won't. What's wrong? iPad 1

my ipad used to print to my HP B210 eprinter, now it won't. What's wrong? (iPad 1) Everything is hooked up correctly, am online, and can print fine from my wireless HP laptop. The iPad finds the printer, but after trying to contact it, it says the printer is offline (which is isn't)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

cgtoni,
You have been very thorough, try these steps in sequence:
Unplug the power cord from the printer.
Unplug the power cord from the router.
Turn Bluetooth off on the iPad.
Plug the router in and allow to power up fully.
Plug the printer in and allow to power up fully.
Try to print from the iPad.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
