The only thing on my iPad 2 screen is the status bar

I was updating GarageBand clicked on another app and then the screen went completely black. When I pressed the wake button I open my iPad back up an then the screen was completely black. I tried to shut it down with the red slider but it wouldn't turn off. Now the screen is black and the only this on the screen is the status bar items. And when this happened it only had 10% left and they was yesterday! Now it doesn't turn off and the apps don't show up on the screen (it's still black with only the status bar) I can't get the red slider to appear and the screen won't rotate

You have to hold down on the sleep AND the home buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. this may not work, but it's worth a try. There other things to try if that doesn't help. You will probably need to restore via recovery mode.
Does iTunes recognize your iPad when connected to the PC?

MacBook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. Tried to start in safe mode but get the same screen. The only thing different was that I loaded the zedge sync app yesterday. Now getting this problem.

Macbook pro will not boot. I get the gray screen, an apple icon and spinning wheel. I tried to start in safe mode, but get this same screen. The only thing different is that I added the zedge update app to do a sync for adding ringtones to my apple cell phone. How can I get a good boot. I am fairly new to apple computer.

Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405 and then try a normal boot.
Run the Startup Manager to select Startup disk: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310
If those did not work your disk may be sick or dying. The top priority at this point is to make a backup copy of your data.
Check the health of the disk. Boot in Recovery Mode (Boot, Command-R). Run Disk Utility. Click on the upper left disk icon. Does the S.M.A.R.T. status say “Verified”? If not the disk/SSD is unhealthy and needs to be replaced. Even if it does not show “Verified” you can still attempt a backup.
Click on the icon indented below, usually called “Macintosh HD” and Verify Disk. If it finishes with a green “OK” message then all is well with the disk. If it shows errors in red then you have found a problem to address once the system is backed up. Do not attempt software repairs until you have secured the data.
If the disk will not show up at all in Disk Utility as your ran the tests above then it may be dead or it may have a bad internal SATA cable. A trip to an Apple store for confirmation would be in order.
If you have an external disk drive you can use as a backup drive then do so. If not Google “Hitachi USB 3.0 external hard drive 1TB” to purchase one or go to a brick-and-mortar store (including an Apple store) to pickup one. Any 1 TB external drive will do.
Assuming it is still breathing you can try to recover the data without booting from the sick disk.
Reformat the external disk. (This will erase all data on the external disk.)
Boot in Recovery Mode. Start Disk Utility. Plug in the new disk. Select it’s disk Icon (the second one down, left justified). Select the Partition tab.
Partition Layout > Single Partition
Name: Emergency Recovery 1 (or whatever name you wish to use)
Format: Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Options… > GUID Partition Table > OK
Apply
Select the Restore tab.
Drag the old system volume (Macintosh HD) to Source.
Drag the new disk volume (Emergency Recovery 1) to Destination.
Click on Restore.
It may take a long time for the backup.
If that will not complete post back for other emergency data recovery methods, including those from a brody.
If the backup succeeds, use the First Aid tab in Disk Utility to select the old volume (Macintosh HD) and Repair Disk. If it does not finish with a green OK message try to repair it once or twice more. If it repairs with a green OK message, will it boot normally? If not, boot from the Recovery Partition and reinstall OS X.
If it is still not healthy, post back for further instructions.

Is there any tip?

"It is most likely fried. You can exchange it for an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store."
how does this works ?

I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and myiPod locked up. I can not reset or restore the unit. The only thing it will do is show me a graphic of thr lightning cable facing up to an arrow and then to a circular blue iTunes icon. I interpert this to mean "connect the iPod to my computer thru the USB cable while iTunes is running. I do this and nothing changes. Total lock up. Any ideas?
Thanks.

My iPhone 4s is frozen up and will not charge...screen is dark! The only thing that's partially lit is the little circle of slashes in the middle and it isn't moving!

My iPhone 4s is only about a month old and is not responding when I plugged it in to charge....screen went dark and a delayed screech and it still is not responding! I unplugged the charger and the screen in still dark, but has a little circle of slash marks in the center is not moving...only a few slash marks
are lighted up(not progressing as usual)! Has anyone had this kind of problem? I don't know what to do...it's like frozen up!!
Thanks Ruth P.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I accidently erased all content on my ipad, (which my son had set up for me) now the only thing that is on the screen is a language portal, and some language I do not understand. I cannot change anything on the screen, HELP???

Slide to unlock then follow the process until you find back from itunes or icloud.

The only thing on the screen of my apple ipad is a white plug with arrow pointing to blue itune icon

when I turn on my ipad the only thing that appears is white cord attached to plug then arrow pointing to blue itunes logo.Thats it nothing else

It needs to be connected to iTunes on a computer. Do you have a particular machine that syncs with iTunes, if so connect it to that.

The ONLY thing I want an iPad to do...and I can't get a straight answer

Hello, all!!
I am a musician who performs live acoustic cover gigs 3-5 nights a week. My act is a little different than most in that I will try just about ANY song that comes up as a request. I'm able to nail a large percentage of requests because I've built up a large database of Windows Notepad chord/lyric charts that I keep on my Windows laptop. I really loathe backing tracks in live performance and i don't use any, but the laptop on stage with me makes it look as though I'm using it for musical assistance - when in fact it's just a songbook. It's big, clunky, casts a bright light and looks like ****. It also requires that I set up a stand, etc...I have dreamed of something like the iPad to come along where I can mount it to my mic stand and discretely tab through songs and read the charts without having the freaking laptop up there with me. Sounded like the iPad was a dream come true until I heard that it DOESN'T READ .txt FILES such as those simple ones in Notepad???? I want to be able to do an alpha search just like I do in my contacts list on my iPhone. Why on earth wouldn't Apple make something so universal and necessary? I have over 1000 song files labelled by artist and I need to be able to tap the first letter of the artist and the scroll to the song then tap it and have the .txt lyric/chord chart pop up and scroll. Is it true that ipad won't do this?? I'm so disappointed. I mean, even a KINDLE will do this (but the screen's too small)...ugh

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can certainly do what you're describing with an iPad but you'll need additional software and you'll have to do a bit of transference work. Just get either HanDbase or Bento for the iPad and set up your database using the text files you already have. It will require you to set it up initially but most of it will be copying and pasting from your text files. However, since you have so many it will take awhile. HanDbase does import other databases so maybe creating this on your Windows machine first would be easier.
It sounds like you've created something of a proprietary system to view your text files, so you shouldn't be surprised that transferring it to another system (and the iPad is very much in a different galaxy than Windows) will involve some work. It's not difficult, but with over a thousand files it will be tedious, I admit.
Another way would be to use an iPad app that links the iPad by wifi to a computer. Then you would be basically doing the same thing you're doing now, accessing the folder where you text files reside alphabetically by artist name. However, you would need two things, wifi and your current computer, even though it could be located off stage. That is probably not something that you can gaurantee, the wifi part I mean.
There are also apps that allow you to transfer files to the iPad and use that app to then view them. These apps also let you set up folders (or virtual folders) on your iPad. You can then view any files in the folders as you would from Windows. Since text files are universally viewable, they'd be available to your iPad this way. However, this method only allows you to view the text file. It can't do anything else but view the thing. So if you need to do things with the text files after opening them, then the database option seems the only one for you if you want to go the iPad route.
Hope that's somewhat helpful and straightforward. Good luck. Definitely check it out thoroughly first before investing in the iPad, though.

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

Have you tried to give your iPad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if it helps.
