The icons on my iPad 2 keep shaking and then it reboots continuously - NOT CUSTOMISATION

This started on saturday night (it's now tuesday) and I don't know what to do!
I took it into the store and they said they couldn't help, but advised me to do a factory reset, so I did and if anything, it made it worse.
The icons on the home screen keep shaking and jerking around, and when they stop shaking, my ipad goes black, then the apple logo appears, then it goes black again, and this continues for hours. (It's been doing that since sunday night)
At the apple store, they said they could send it off to be repaired for £250! I might as well buy a new tablet! Besides all that, I've only had my iPad 2 for two years, and after spending £400 on a brand new one, I expected it to last longer.
I'm really disappointed.
Please help?

You will need to force the iPad into recover mode then restore as new. You may need to try this several times for it to "stick" so don't give up.
Follw these instructions.

  • My imac 2007 keeps crashing and then it beeps continuously

    My imac 2007 keeps crashing and then it beeps continuously when starting up and just has a black screen.

    Don't know what caused it other than RAM does occasionally fail.
    Don't suppose you bought it from either Crucial or Macsales, as they guarantee their chips for life and will swap them over for replacements.
    Sometimes, pulling the RAM chips out and re-seating them will get things working again.
    Did you replace the original sticks or add to empty slots? It's often a case of trial and error to see which one/ones have failed. If the original chips were taken out and you still have them try pulling the chips that are currently installed and replacing them with the originals. Or, if the originals are still installed, just pull the additional chips and test. As I say, trial and error. Good luck!

  • My iPad keeps freezing and shutting down just after I purchased an itunes movie.

    -iPad Mini
    -64GB
    -w/o Retina display
    -Updated to the latest iOS 7
    -Using "Videos" app to watch and used "iTunes Store" to download movie
       I literally just downloaded this movie,called "Sucker Punch", I wanted to watch it while it downloaded and it was doing fine for the first maybe 2 minutes if that and then I would pause it when it started skipping thinking I was letting it buffer, but then when i tried to resume by using my clicker on my headphones nothing would happen. I proceeded to tap the screen thinking something was up with my headphones and nothing happened. I held the home and lock button to boot and then it came back on eventually but did the same exact thing but this time it just crashed completely and restated itself. My WiFi single is strong and everything else using the WiFi is working perfectly. This is very aggravating . Any clue or help?

    Hello, BRIABUNNI. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are a couple resources that have some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue.  These are labeled for the iPhone, but the steps will also apply for the iPad. 
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    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 LCIsand 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.

  • My ipad keeps crashing and restarting when I try to open camera

    My ipad keeps crashing and restarting when I try to open camera. Whenever I attempt to open my camera, the screen turns black, and then the ipad crashes and restarts on its own. Everything else works fine. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

    You can't upgrade to iOS 7 you can only upgrade to iOS 7.1.
    In case that 7 is a typo what is the error that is occurring?

  • Netflix app is stuck in a loop. Tapping the icon sends you to the NETFLIX red sceen. Screen says it's loading but it reverts back to the icon screen. I've removed and reinstalled the app half a dozen times. Anyone have a fix?

    Netflix app is stuck in a loop. Tapping the icon sends you to the NETFLIX red sceen. Screen says it's loading but it reverts back to the icon screen. I've removed and reinstalled the app half a dozen times. Works sometimes but then reverts back.

    Try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

    my iPad keeps restarting and i try to restore it but i can not because every 8 mints keep restarting . does anybody know how to fix it?

    Have you try a reset?
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • It seems that since I have downloaded the update that my ipad keeps freezing up

    It seems as though every since I download the new update my ipad 7.0.6 keep freezing anyone having this problem

    Try taking a "fresh start" approach. Close all of your apps and reset the iPad.
    To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT4623 Whydoes my IPad keep crashing and restsarting following IOS7 update? Jim

    Why
    does my IPad keep crashing and restsarting following IOS7 update?

    Immediately after installing iOS 7, my sister’s iPad 2 started crashing during ALL apps and restarting. She couldn’t go for longer than 10 seconds without a crash.
    Took it to Apple Store and they did everything to try to fix it, and nothing worked, including:
    Erase all content and settings and restore from back-up.
    Erase all software and firmware, set up as new, did NOT restore back-up, and install iOS 7.
    It kept crashing. So it was an internal problem with the iPad that wouldn’t work with iOS 7.
    Her iPad 2 was out of warranty, but because of the software issue making it impossible for the device to work, they gave her a new one! Installed iOS 7 at the store (were there for 4 hours!) and the new one is working fine.
