Tried to reset iPad mini but it's still loading

I wanted to just completely reset the iPad to it's factory settings and it's been well over two hours and it still hasn't turned back on and I can't turn it off or anything. Should I just let the battery die or keep it on the charger?

If reset doesn't work, 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.
3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • Trying to setup ipad mini but all text is in chinese?

    When I started up my new ipad mini all the text is in Chinese. How do I get the startup assistant in English?

    Try reconnecting to your computer and open iTunes.  Then select the restore option to do a factory reset.  When the iPad resets in original factory mode the first option you should get is to select the language.

  • TS4268 when using iMessage, sometimes the send button won't respond.  I've tried restarting the ipad mini, but no luck.  It still works on my laptop.  Any suggestions?

    How can I get the "send " button to work.  I've been using messages for some time, but occasionally it won't respond when I hit 'Send"??

    Messages only works with other iOS devices, but if you were trying to text with a non Apple device you should see a not Registered error with a red exclamation mark. Maybe you are typing the message in the subject field by accident.
    Go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off.

  • How do I get music and games which I purchased for my daughter through my iTunes account onto her iPad mini  but at the same time set up a separate iTunes account for her iPad?

    My daughter  used to use my old iPod and all the music and games that she wanted went through my e-mail/iTunes account.  She has moved onto an iPad mini but this is still in my account.  I want to set up an e-mail and iTunes account for her so that my iPhone doesnt get jammed up with all her stuff.  If I do this I think that all the stuff which I've bought will be lost to her.  How can I get round this?

    Apple devices can hold protected content from up to five different accounts, however updating apps purchased over more than one account (as far as I'm aware) requires signing in and out of each account. You may be better off continuing to use one account for your family, as I do, but disabling the options on each device for the automatic download of purchases made on the account, and in iTunes, the automatic inclusion of new apps when syncing from the library to the device.

    A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
    How is it setup?
    I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
    I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

When I woke up it was in recovery mode and said I had to restore it, but when I tried restoring it a window pops up saying : The Ipad could not be restored. An unknown error occured. (3194)

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • Syncing PDF files into my iPad Mini, but will not show in iBooks

    I am trying to sync PDF files into my iPad Mini but it will not appear in the iBooks app on my iPad Mini. I have tried to unselect the book and reselect, sync all or sync selected through iTunes. Still have not figured it out! There is 9.75gb left on my iPad Mini which is more than enough space for the PDF files.
    Please help!
    Thanks,

  • HT4095 I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again-still nothing.

    I have tried to download 2 movies onto my iPad but I keep getting a download error message. What do I do now? I have already tried turning the iPad off and on again…still nothing.

    Try closing iTunes and reset your iPad. After the iPad starts up, try the download again.
    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 iTunes app 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.

  • I gave my brother my old iPad.  I reset it so it's like a new iPad. But, it is still in my iCloud tabs, not what he is doing, but the last thing i had open in Safari.

    I gave my brother my old iPad.  I reset it so it's like a new iPad. But, it is still in my iCloud tabs, not what he is doing, but the last thing i had open in Safari. When I went to iCloud.com and did the find my iPhone thing, it was still listed. But it couldn't find it. It's rather annoying to have it there all the time. How do I make it go away. I can't see a way to tell iCloud that that device is no longer mine.

    Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
    There are a few steps to do:
    Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
    Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime
    Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
    Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
    Now you can sell/give.
