My mini ipad just went black? can't turn it off or anything

my ipad mini just went black, no nothing, just a blank screen.
what do i do?

If there is nothing showing on the iPad's screen, then assuming that its battery isn't empty then have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear and it will boot up - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. What do I need to do?

    My iPad just went black and will not start. It has not been dropped, nor has it been wet. I am very careful with it. What do I do now?

    Plug it into an electrical outlet let it sit a few minutes. Then try performing a hard reset, by holding the home button and the lock buttons at the same time until an apple logo appears.

    I grasp that when you power on the notebook it flashes 3 times but does not boot to Windows.  Here is a link to Computer does not start and the LEDs blink or the computer beeps that will help you determine the cause.

  • My iPad just went black and the black travels up and down or side to side and I can't force it to close I don't get the red bar what's going on

    My IPad just went blank/black/gray sometimes lines cannot force close as the red bar does not come up
    The blank screen color travels up and down or side to side
    What is causing this
    Either way when plug in or not the battery level is at 70%

    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Heres another tip: Is your ipad freezing up or crashing ? try closing all your open programs by double tapping the home button and hold your finger on one of the open apps and they will start to shake and a red minus sign will appear at the top of each app. click the minus sign on each app to close each app. The first time I did this i had 40 apps goung at the same time.
    Thinking that all of the apps displayed in that tray are open and running is a common misconception. In fact, what you are looking at is the Multitasking (MT) Tray, sometimes also referred to as the Recents Tray, and is an ordered list of those apps which were last opened. Very very few of those apps will be multitasking capable and not all of those will actually still be open and doing something in the background. Obvious examples of those working would be a music app still playing, while common examples of not opened but displayed would be, well ...... with a few exceptions, pretty much everything else.
    That said, it is a corrective action for a hung or crashing app as what you are describing is one of the two ways to Force Quit an application; by going through and deleting all of them you actually will also do this and might fix whatever the issue is. However, the app causing the problem is normally going to be at the very top of the apps displayed in the MT Tray.

  • My IPad just went black and will not turn on or off.  Nothing happens. Help!

    How can Iget my IPad to come on?  It jus went black.  It will not turn on or off.

  • My ipad has stopped responding. Can't turn it off or anything

    My iPad isn't responding. I can't shut it own or anything. It's just stuck

    A little more info would be helpful?
    What were you doing when this happened? Is the screen on or completely black? Is the iPad making any sounds?
    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.

  • Ipad just went black

    I was browsing the web on my ipad and it went to sleep. I pressed the home button to turn the ipad back on and nothing happened. My ipad won't turn back on. What can I do?

    If it shut down because of low battery level, then you just plug it in and let it recharge. You'll be able to see and hear it waking up again.
    If not due to low battery, then try a Reset on your iPad, or any of the other recommended steps in the Tips & Troubleshooting section of your User's Guide.
    Reset — Press & hold both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for 10 seconds, until white Apple logo appears, then let the rest of the boot process continue.

    Hi Rebeccarichmond,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone does not turn on, these steps can help:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • My iphone 5s screen just went black and wont turn back on

    I cracked my screen about a month ago and just today the screen started changing colors and then went completely black. I have it plugged in now and it just keeps vibrating but the screen wont come on.. I've tried to hold down the home button and power button but nothing is working.

    You will need to get it serviced.

  • HT4137 Just received a new iPad 3 & it is locked up.  The only message I get is: iPad not backed up.  This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked & connected to Wi-Fi. The iPad is locked up & can only turn it off.

    Have I received a new iPad from the distributor?  How can I unlock the iPad?

    Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.
    Then try to connect with your computer and iTunes; http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • IPad suddenly went black and want turn off or on

    New iPad Air 2 screen suddenly went blank and want respond or turn on or off. Hook up to Mac and iTunes recognises its there etc.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this?

    Try resetting your device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). If the Apple appears, the reset is in progress, and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.
    Be sure that your device is charged. If you are not sure, then hook it up to a charger and wait 5 minutes before resetting.

  • I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I have had this problem several times. The iPad comes off charging with a black screen and only a hard reset works to get it back.  Then you have to go to settings to be sure nothing changed there.   
    I have had serveral hard resets and three restore operations and the problem recurs.  I am not sure if it is the iPad2 or an app that is causing the problem.   So far I can live with it as is.
