TS3274 My iPad "froze" and doesn't respond

Hi all, 
I have an iPad 4.  It recently started showing the "apple" whilst working on it, as if it "faded out".  Now it just "froze".  No responding, turning on or off.... nothing.
What can it be?

Frozen or unresponsive iPad
Resolve these most common issues:
    •    Display remains black or blank
    •    Touch screen not responding
    •    Application unexpectedly closes or freezes

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    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.

  • My IPod touch froze and its not responding at all what can i do to fix it?

    my IPod touch froze and its not responding at all what can i do to fix it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 ipad froze and shows itunes with plug while updating with iOS

    ipad froze and shows itunes with plug while updating with iOS.

    That message means that you have to restore the iPad using iTunes now. Something went wrong. This explains how to do it. Read it thoroughly before you start - and take note of the end of the article under Additional Information where it talks about using recovery mode. You might need to use it.

  • When I turn on my iPad and. Go onto the Internet the wireless router cuts off and the Internet stops working and doesn't respond

    Hello,
    When I turn on my iPad 2 and go onto the safari and go onto google the wireless router cuts off and turns the Internet off and the Internet doesn't respond and then after I have to turn the router off and turn it on and then it is back to normal it has happening when I recently updated the new iOS 6 on my iPad since then it was been doing this please can you help and help me sort the problem out
    Thanks

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • TS3274 My IPAD 2 camera doesn't seem to work. It doesn't want to go thru and seems to be on "hold".

    My IPAD 2 camera doesn't seem to work. It doesn't want to go thru and seems to be on "hold".

    By 'hold' do you mean frozen or the shutter doesn't open ?  Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the Camera app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera '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 Camer app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try 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.

  • TS3274 dropped ipad now screen doesn't display

    My daughter dropped her ipad and now the screen doesn't display anything.  We can see some light changes but nothing else.  It appears that the screen can still be touched to use apps because we are able to play music.  Any suggestions on what we should do?

    Not sure if you've fixed this, but it really works.  After reading similar advice, I banged it on the corner of my couch and the display totally came back clear as day.  Could not read it before.
