Screen locked - again, how do I fix it?

My IPAD 3rd gen screen locked again today - I had the same issue a couple of days ago and got it fixed with help of tech support.....had to do full wipe and reset using variety of actions - with help of phone support... so, before I report this issue again is there anyone out there experiencing this issue? Is it a known issue? and what is the solution? thanks

Since you had the problem previously I'd go back to Apple support. Perhaps there is a hardware problem with your iPad?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : 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 equivalent of a reboot.

    powerbook g4 - does not start up...it shows kernel panic screen...how do i fix/resolve this problem?

    In the overwhelming majority of cases, kernel panic indicates a severe hardware problem. Braby and Allan pointed to useful things. If you can boot from CD / DVD and reinstall without any kernel panic, then may be a software problem, but this is less probable. You must check, anyway.
    If you have a 2nd mac around and a firewire cable, you may try to restart the ill mac in target mode and connect it to a healthy mac to see whether it may be used in target mode.

    In the middle of a movie, the movie stops and it goes to the home screen. We can't watch it again, it basically just takes our money away, how do we fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

  • I can't remember my passcode for my iphone4 and it disabled my phone. I also plugged it in to itunes and it says its locked. How do i fix this?

    I can't remember my passcode for my Iphone and it is disabled. How can I fix this? I also plug phone into itunes and it says phone is locked due to wrong passcode.

    Follow the instructions in the procedure above to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, 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 turn off.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • Why is my iPad 2 screen black? How can I fix it?

    My brother just dropped our iPad 2 and when he picked it up the screen was purple. He then turned it off and when it was back on it was all black. I can hear the lock sound when I lock it it's just that the whole screen is black. The funny thing is he dropped in on a carpet from not a very great height. So how can I fix it? Please don't tell me to reset/turn it back off because I have tried this multiple times. I haven't tried restoring it though. Will that help? Will appreciate all advice. Thank you greatly!

    My first instruction may well be exactly what you've done but I want to ensure that we're talking about the same thing.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • HT4993 My Iphone 5 will only charge when dead. It won't charge with the screen on. How can I fix this?

    My phone will only charge when completely dead. When charging it turns on as usual, however it discontinues its charge when the screen comes on. It won't charge again until it dies from 1% how do I fix this fast. I need my phone daily for work.

    If changing out the charging unit and the cable doesn't work, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation
