The iPad screen only shows an apple every 3 seconds. what is wrong?

Screen shows apple every three seconds.I cannot turn it off. the iPad2 is recognized by itunes when connected to computer. Will not start up or shut down.

If it keeps showing the Apple Logo every few seconds, then it is continuously trying to reload the iOS, but somehting is making it restart.  Normally, a failure should make the iPad boot into recovery mode automatically, but you may have a hardware issue that needs service.
Try this before getting service:
1) Plug the iPad into the computer and open iTunes.
2) Hold the Power Button and Home button simultaneously for 10 seconds, then release the Power button but continue holding the Home button for 20 more seconds or until the iTunes symbol shows on the iPad's screen.
3) Restore the iPad using iTunes on the computer.
If you do not get the iTunes symbol on the iPad and continue to see the Apple Logo over and over even while trying these steps, your iPad will need service to get it fixed.

  • When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

    When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

    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.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • TS3274 My ipad screen is flashing about once every second when plugged in, it wont boot, no logo

    I have an ipad first generation. it wont turn on when press the power button. When i plug it into the wall, the screen blinks about once every second. It does not display any logo.
    it doesnt seem like i can reset it or put it into recovery mode.
    Any suggestions? do you think it has a hardware problem?

    Hello oilyragfun, I am having the exact same problem. Did you ever get this resolved?
    No history of drops or abuse. When I plug it in the screen just dimly flashes or pulses about once every second. No logo, just the entire screen dimly backlit for a half of a second the blank again. I can't get it to respond with any combination of buttons or reset proceadures.

  • HT1386 My iPad and pc are synced but the iPad is only showing a few of my many hundred albums stored in iTunes on my pc.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Question in the subject title...

    I have to admit that iTunes Match is out of my league because I do not use it. Turning that off might make the difference, but turning it off might screw everything up as well. I know very, very little about iTunes Match, but that does present a different spin on this.
    Knowing the very little that I do know, with iTunes Match on - there should be no reason to sync the albums since they should be available on your iPad via Settings>iTunes and App Stores>iTunes Match>On.
    Hopefully someone that uses Match will chime in.

  • Bluetooth on my iPad doesn't accept or send anything, even when paired and turned on on both items. My iPad is only a few weeks old. What's wrong?

    I've paired by iPad with my Nokia phone. Bluetooth is turned on on both items, but when I try to send a photo from my phone to my iPad, I get a message on my phone saying "it's not supported by the other device". Is there a fault on my iPad? Or have I not set something up properly? I'm at my wit's end, as I'd like to upload photos while I'm on holiday.

    Sorted! Apparently iPad is just not geared up for Bluetooth except for keyboard and headsets!

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.

    The video app on my iPad now only shows a black screen. Used to work fine then crashed in the middle of a short video.  When I open the app the screen is just blank. As it is a default app I can't delete and reinstall. Anybody else experience this?

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone seems to be working but only shows apple logo, itunes sees the phone normally, when i restored it appeared successful and itunes tried activating my phone but the screen only shows apple logo nothing else???

    my iphone is detected in itunes as normal, but screen on the phone only shows apple logo??? restored and everything but no difference its weird, it restores successfully and stuff but once done the screen only shows apple logo.. note:while restoring everything goes through as normal on the phone it shows the bar loading etc.. but once complete just stays on apple logo.

    It can take a few minutes to reinitialize, but if it stays on the Apple logo for as much as 10 minutes there is something seriously wrong. Try restoring again, and set up as a new phone rather than installing your backup. If this fixes it you have a corrupt backup. If this doesn't fix it the phone is broken. Or possibly jailbroken.

  • HT201406 while trying to update my ipod touch  something happened and now my screen only shows the apple logo and nothing else happens

    while updating my ipod touch something happened and now the screen only shows the apple logo that goes on-off. i dont know what to do,please somebody help me!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 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.

  • How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC? I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. Thanks

    How can I connect my Ipad Air to my PC to see the Ipad screen on the PC?
    I have connected them via the Ipad to a LIGHTNING DIGITAL AV ADAPTER-ZML connected to a APPLE HDMI TO HDMI CABLE (1.8 M)-ZML, and to the HDMI port on the PC. But now I don't know how to show the Ipad screen on the PC, as if it was a monitor / screen, so that I can then use Lync and share my PC screen with people virtually.
    Thanks for any help! Regards

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.
    Regards
