Same thing happened to me today. I wasn't even using the phone for the past 6 hours and suddenly I can't connect to the internet, none of my internet apps would work - nothing. I tried to call AT&T from the iphone and it locked up - couldn't turn it off, change to the home screen - nada - brick.
Did the Home/Power button thing and that worked but this I've only had this phone for about 4 weeks and it's locked up more times than my 3GS did the whole two years I had it! Ridiculous

I-phone shuts off, I have to hold the home and power button at the same time to get the icon to show up. Then have to hold the home button. I'm restoring my phone multiple times a day just to get it to work. help!

Are you restoring as new?

Having resent my iPad using the Settings route, the Apple logo appeared onscreen and a line below it filled from left to right. When full, the device did nothing. I was able to switch it off and back on, only to see the same Apple logo and filled line. Even pressing the ON botton for a few seconds did nothing. The device is now inert, and I cannot access it. Please help!!!

Reset iPad and continue with Restore.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

My ipad won't start up. it's less than 1 year old. I've tried plugging it in and pressing the start button. the apple logo appears but then disappears and nothing else happens.

My IPad shut down this afternoon and now it won't start up. It's less than 1 year old. I tried plugging it in and pressing the on/off button. After holding the button in for several seconds, the Apple icon appears, but then disappears.

First, try this:
Plug it in to the wall using an Apple charger and Apple cable for several hours. The idea is to fully charge it.
Then hold the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds. Hopefully the Apple logo will appear and it will start. Do not release the buttons until you see the Apple logo.
If it starts, great. If not, you say your iPad is less than a year old. If you bought it brand new from an Apple Store or Authorized Apple vendor, it is under warranty. Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for diagnosis and repair.

HT201406 I've done the steps to get on my ipod again because the screen is not working so I held the power and home button until the apple logo appeared but it still wont work I have tried twice now and I still cant get on

- 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 another cable
- 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.

You will very like need a computer with iTunes make the iPod work.

My ipad wont power on, its fully charged. Does anybody know how to unlock the ipad by the home button and power button?

please help

You may have to hold the home and power buttons down for more than 10 to 15 seconds. That is the normal amount of time it should take to do a soft-reset on an iDevice. But I have had a similar problem and found that if I held the buttons down for a couple of minutes my device (iPhone, iPad, iPod) would finally unlock and start up. You just have to be patient and hold the buttons down. You might also try doing this with your iPad plugged into the charger.

My IPad will not turn on, despite charging all night and all day. The Apple pops up then goes away. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

Hey bellabeanbag,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines troubleshooting steps if your iPad is not responding:

If iPad won't turn on, or the display stops responding
Follow these steps, testing after each:
1. Turn the iPad off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPad for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
2. Reset iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If iPad still won't respond after you restore it
Follow these steps, testing after each:
1. If you receive an alert in iTunes while restoring your iPad, refer to this article for instructions on how to resolve common issues with updating and restoring.
2. If you cannot restore your iPad in iTunes, or if iTunes does not recognize the device, refer to this article for instructions on restoring using recovery mode.
Thanks,

TS1538 I plugged in my iPad into my computer, I did the "hold the power button, then the home button simultaneously" stuff to try to downgrade my iPad. But I forgot that my compiter had a virus, but it was too late. My iPad won't come back on. What do I d

I plugged in my iPad to my Windows 8 computer via USB- 30 pin iPad 3 connector cable because I wanted to downgrade my iPad for a reason. I did the method where you completely shut off your iPad, hold the power button for 3 seconds, then simultaneously hold down the home button and the power button, etc. I forgot that my computer had a virus that my dad was about to remove, but it was already too late. The apple "boot-up" sign disappeared like right when I released the button, and my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore. It has been about an hour now, and it still doesn't work. Do you guys think that I have any chanceof waking up my iPad ever again?

What do you mean by "downgrade my iPad for a reason"? You cannot downgrade an iOS device.
A virus on the computer should not affect your iPad unless it has been jailbroken, it has no access to the operating system otherwise.
Clean up the computer, then do a reboot of the iPad by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
If that does not help, you will have to restore it using the recovery mode, instructions for doing that are found in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

PLEASE HELP 2/24/13 Brand new iPod Touch 5th Gen froze on set up and I tried to shut it down and it was on the apple logo screen for a long time and it shut down but now it won't turn on! PLEASE HELPPPPPP

DESPERATE PLEASE HELP So my mother got herself an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and barely asked me to set it up last night, (BRAND NEW NOT OPENED YET).. I set it up not plugged into iTunes (directly on iPod). I was setting up a new iTunes account for her (got passed Wi-fi set up and location services) and as I was doing that, it mysteriously froze somehow. So I held the home button and power button down simultaneously, which I thought would restart the iPod/shut it down.. so it did, and it was on the apple logo screen for a LONG TIME.. and when I checked after a long time, it was black. I tried to turn it on, charge, and plug it into itunes (iMac computer) and it won't turn on!!!!! PLEASE HELP

TS1398 I updated by ipad to ios 6 today and when I connect to my home network, it brings up the apple page with Log In on the top bar then my ipad looses WIFI connection. How do I resolve this?

I installed IOS 6 today. it cannot connect to my apple account. It keeps loosing the WIFI connection. EVerytime I connect to WIFI, it loads the apple webpage and looses the connection again. How do I resolve this?

This seems to be the best working option (while not 100% success):
From Demo:
Try this.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

HT201263 I have the ipad 1, and I tried to reboot it but when I connected my ipad to the computer it did nothing. When it is charging the apple logo simply flashes on and off again. It is trying to start up but can't. Help!

I have an ipad and the only thing it does when you plug it in to the wall is flash the start up apple logo. It will not reboot because itunes can not reconginze it. I have tried holding the home and power button's together but it doesn't help.

I'm sorry, you are correct I am trying to restore my ipad because it stopped working.   We thought the battery was dead so we plugged it into the wall charger. All it does when plugged in is flash the apple logo like it is going to start up and then shut off. It repeats this every few seconds while it is plugged into the wall. I let it charge overnight and still nothing.
When I hold the power button and the home button down together while the ipad is plugged into the wall, it does flash then after I release the power button the connect to itunes screen comes on.   But when I connect it to my computer it goes blank.   itunes does not recongnize my ipad when I plug it into the computer. I have used the same cord to plug in my other devices and itunes recongnizes them so it isn't the usb cord.
It seems as if my system has crashed and I think this may just be an apple service trip for me. But thanks so much for the advice.   =D

My ipod touch is stuck on the apple logo and i cant reset it as my home button is broken what else can i try?

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!

When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

Plz help,ipad blank/dead,I cant reset it by holding home and power button down, the apple never appears.my PC and itunes doesn't list it when connected
