TS3274 My iPad has suddenly frozen up.  I've tried to shut it off but the little pinwheel just keeps spinning round on a black screen . I can't get it to power off nor go back to the normal screen. Obviously I'm using a device right now. Help!

My iPad has frozen up. I've tried to power it off but the little pinwheel keeps sping round on a black screen. It won't shut off nor come back to normal screen. I'm using my wife's iPad right now.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem please?
Thanks
ETB

Hold down on power and home button together for 15s
If it just comes back to the spinning wheel after resetting power it down w power/home button then hold down home button and plug into a computer, keep holding til u see itunes logo on the screen then let go and follow onscreen instructions to restore ipad

    VPN-User,
    Ok - I see the list of issues and will ensure our X300 specialist takes a look at it.   
    Please do understand that while you have put together a very coherent list, I try to ensure priority to threads in which multiple customers are focused on a single issue, as we deliver the most benefit to the community in working on those.   This forum is primarly a peer to peer discussion forum rather than a Lenovo chat / tech support where we try to solve each and every issue put forth.
    Individuals with a long list of issues on a particular machine may find benefit from either contacting technical support and working through their list, or publishing it as you have done and wait for other users of the same system to share their experiences.
    Thanks for your patience

  • HT203176 My computer gets bogged down in disk utility "gathering disk information." I can't get past this to reach the first aid tab. The little icon just keeps going round and round. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    My Mac crashed today for the first time in the seven years I have owned it. I was working in Photoshop. It had been getting slower and slower in Photoshop. Now I can't start the computer at all. Using the Installer CD, I can't get through to use the Disk Utility to try to fix it. The computer gets bogged down in disk utility "gathering disk information."

    You may have had a hard drive failure. Have you been hearing any unusual sounds? Have you been getting messages about a full hard drive?

  • Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hello I am having problems viewing areas of a pdf...it's a form fillable pdf that someone else has completed and saved..I'm able to view all but the areas that have been filled in.. any info would help

    Hi Bob, I just tried your suggestion, but the interactive PDF is in spreads by default, no way to change the setting. When I choose to view by single page in Acrobat, it displays a single spread.
    When I choose to view by spreads, it displays 4 pages, two spreads. That's the topic of this whole discussion, I believe. I do own CS 6 at home, however my employer supplied me with CS 5.5. And I have very little, if any, influence on purchasing.
    So, I have no good way to make an interactive PDF (with differing recto/verso headers and footers), that is accessible and shows the correct header/footer. It's either single pages (with one header/footer), or recto/verso headers/footers but PDF only as a spread, as well as I can tell.
    Unless you know something else I can do...
    Best, Marilyn

  • My ipad has suddenly began to have rotation problems, sometimes it will rotate but always opens in landscape mode, sometimes it refuses to rotate?

    My ipad has started having difficulty rotating.  It always opens in landscape mode, no matter which way the book is turned and sometimes if you open an app it will rotate but other times you can't make it rotate.

    Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • I sent a friend some photos and since then the email keeps coming up in recovered. every time I delete it it appears again in recovered. I cannot get any incoming mail either as the little circle just keeps spinning. its driving me mad!! I can get my emai

    I sent a friend some photos, since then  the email keeps appearing in recovered from my mac. Everytime I delete it it comes back. also I cannot get any incoming mail, the circle keeps on spinning, I can get mail on my ipad, Has anyone got a solution please.
    thanks

    Yes,ranchers, I did try that a bunch of times- thanks for trying.
    I'm gonna list all the things I did (that I can can think of):
    Tried to force close the app.
    Turned on/off wiFi
    Tried letting it just run on the screen it's stuck at for like 15 minutes
    Ugh...my brain is turning off-I think it's frozen like my Sims!    Cornball I know.
    But I've tried everything I could think of which is a bunch more things than what I was able to list. And I'll do my best to answer any questions cause I know from looking all over on different forums that I'm not the only one this is happening to. It happened to a bunch of people who I think are still waiting for theirs to get fixed.
    Can the cloud save me if I upload today?

  • My ipad wont recognise my wireless, it just keeps spinning round and round

    I had problems with my laptop and its connection. I got a message that another device was using the same IP address so it threw me off the system. I rebooted my house wireless system and the laptop was fine again, as were all the other devices that use it - iphones, desk Macs and the other iPad, but my iPad wont work. It shows the wireless but doesn't seem to be able to hook up to it, it just keeps that searching circle going.
    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

    My iPad has suddenly stopped printing to my hp AirPrint printer. It was working fine but now although it says it has contacted .the printer etc. nothing prints. My iPhone still prints o.k. So don't think it is the printer or router

  • My ipad has suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. The settings have not been changed. Why is this?

    My ipad has suddenly stopped connecting to the intenet via my home wifi system. The settings have notbeen changed. why is this?

    The first thing to try is to power down your modem and router for about 30 seconds, then repowering by plugging them back in.
    Also, if that doesn't work, on your iPad you can try going into settings/safari/clear history/clear data and cookies.
