Verizon iPad 2 won't "wake up" without hard reset!

I am having a problem where my Verizon iPad 2 will go into a state where it won't "wake up" unless you do a hard reset. It won't respond to the power or home button. I notice that this happens after the iPad 2 has been unused for a few hours. The 4.3.2 update did not resolve this problem.
If you do a hard reset (hold home and power for several seconds), it will start back up again, but it will say that a "restore is needed" and asks to connect to iTunes. If you ignore this and turn the device off and on again, the device will finally start as normal.
I have recreated this numerous times. Once again, the 4.3.2 update did not resolve this.
Anyone else experience this and ideas on how to fix it? I can't say for certain when this started happening, but I don't think it started until 4.2.1. I don't know if that caused it though.

My wifi iPad 2 is behaving similarly, and the same general problem is reported at:
http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-help/13892-ipad-does-not-wake-sleep-mode.html
The conclusion on that forum was to contact Apple / the store of purchase etc. The outcome reported was the replacement of the device.
I have tried: multiple resets, powering off and on, removing all but the original apps, and "Reset all settings", but I still can't wake it from sleep without resetting it. The behaviour is the same whether in the field or powered in the dock. My next step was to "Erase all content and settings" - however I'm glad I checked some forums first, I'll call Apple on Monday.

Liquid E3 screen unresponsive, won't wake up or hard reset

Hi, My Liquid E3 is acting strange. The screen is black and doesn't wake up when I press the power button. Even if I hold it down for a long time it won't power down (or do anything else). I read about a hard reset but when I push and hold the power key and down volume button it makes the sound of taking a screenshot! (As it normally would for that combination of key presses.) The phone is still functioning to a certain degree - I can use the web access of Whatsapp but when I try and call the phone, it goes straight to voicemail (without ringing). Of course the Liquid E3 has a built in battery so I can't try the old trick of taking the battery out! And, I have no way of accessing the serial number so I am unable to contact "official" Acer support! The red LED comes on if I plug the phone in to charge. Any suggestions???

I found adb.exe - it was stashed away in a different folder than the tutorial referred to. So, got everything running finally and it's not looking good, When screencast launches, there is just a black screen where it should show my phone. To double check, I tried my wife's phone and it worked fine with the screencast app. I would seem like I am looking at a broken screen? Any ideas anything else I can try? The only thing I can think of is to wait until the battery dies and then try a harad reset from powered off status?

Ipod often won't wake up without reset

I've had a 4th generation ipod a little over a year now. Recently, I've noticed that after I put it to sleep, it sometimes won't wake up. I have to reset it in order to turn it back on. It happens quite often -- like every three or four times I put it to sleep. It's especially annoying because I listen to a bunch of podcasts and audiobooks and when I have to reset it I lose my place. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hey this is the same exact issue I am having. It started happening immediately after I updated to the 2005-11-17 software. It is very annoying and messes up my audiobooks and podcasts.

IPad is acting very strange, also after hard reset. No sliding to open possible.

It all started with my iPad doing things on its own, opening and closing apps, starting music, skipping songs and opening photo's. All without me push any buttons, so I did a hard reset, tried to restore it. But not I cannot not even open my iPad, when I try sliding to open, it i not working at all. Not even after another hard reset and new configuration. Some kind op virus seems to have caused damage. Any advice on what to do next? I am clueless,
Your help would be highly appreciately.

"so I did a hard reset, tried to restore it. But not I cannot not even open my iPad"
Just to reiterate what Tedfixit said - I would book an appointment at the Genius Bar as well. If you restored it and it is still acting up, the device should be evaluated.

Laptop won't power up after hard reset.

My laptop was having issues with keys(mixed keys) so I performed hard reset by removing the battery and the power connection then pressing the power button for 30 secs. But now my laptop won't power up.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Laptop won't start up after hard reset

My HP Envy15 froze in hibernation more. I pressed the power and beats audio buttons to do a hard reset. Now it won't turn back on. When I press the power button- nothing. When I press the power button and the beats audio button the blue tooth light turns orange but nothing else happens.
HELP! All ideas welcome.
Thanks!

Delete email account without hard reset?

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android 4.1.1. Shortly thereafter (and perhaps coincidentally), I could not connect to one of my email accounts (my Yahoo account, if it matters). Other email accounts are still functioning normally, so the problem is limited to this one account. I would like to delete the account and start over, but I receive a message that the this email account is used by other apps, and the only way to remove it is by performing a hard reset to factory settings. Is there way around this hassle? Thanks in advance for the help!

Same issue.. Not sure I like the new google voice search either. It used to show the Web Call Map in the search results, now I have to open it in in the map to get to the call feature. Extra steps google, why'd you do it? Verizon fix your yahoo email. This is rediculous to have this many issues with an email client that were trying to delete and read it for a solution.

Repair Internet Access without Hard Reset (E72)

I just came back from a trip. I used many different Wifi-hotspots during my journey, which kept accumulating in the internet settings. So I deleted all the new hotspots from my Nokia E72 phone. Unfortunately, this action messed up the internet access completely.
I already did a reset of the settings with +#7780#, but to no avail. I have SmartConnect 1.3.6 installed. Deleting and reinstalling did not change anything.
In detail:
I cannot change the access point for the built-in browser any more. When I select it, nothing happens. Before the reset it had now connection at all, now it is fixed to my mobile network providers internet access point (GPRS/3G).
In internet settings (Menu -> Ctrl. Panel-> Settings-> Connection -> Destinations) there is now an empty destination group without a name, and it can not be deleted.
Certain functions in internet settings do not work any more, like copying an access point to another group. The destination settings often will hang and cannot be closed any more. A restart is needed.
Some applications (e.g. Podcasting) still show some of the deleted access points.
Almost all other applications which do not have their own access point management (like. fring) will not connect anymore.
My question:
Is there any other way of accessing and/or deleting these settings (maybe directly in the system) besides doing a hard reset (*#7370#) requiring a (PC-based) backup?
If I ever want to travel only with my E72 I would need a solution to these problems on the phone itself.
Thanks.
E72-1, product code 0586718, firmware 022.007

@hadimassa: as I wrote in my post, SC has nothing to do with my problem. Installing SC doesn't improve stability in general and maybe one of the causes in the first place, but this was not the point here. Too late, so to say
The internet access parameters must be stored somewhere on the C: drive. I am interested in the exact location.

New iPad 2 won't sync iPhotos without deleting existing photos

I just got the iPad 2 and want to sync my photos from my Mac. It won't sync all of them at once (pop up window says it can't sync) so I tried a few albums at a time, which works but deletes the previous photos with new ones. It shouldn't be this hard, right? Help please!

To add a new album without erasing other existing ones, just leave the current ones checked in iTunes before syncing. You can add photos from one (or more) iPhoto or Aperture events/albums at a time, but DON'T unselect the events you want to keep in iTunes or any unselected album will be deleted.
There shouldn't be a restriction on the number of photos to be synced at a time. I have loaded 17,000 photos with iTunes from my iPhoto database on my iPad and 24,000 photos from my Aperture database (via iTunes) onto my iPad 2 without a problem.

The iPad just won't allow apps without the code. Can anyone help?

I live in Ireland. Not the UK. So I don't have a postal code. Without a postal code I have no billing address. Without a billing address I can get no apps. Any ideas?

This can be caused by a number of issues.
Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

Used Verizon iPad 2 won't let me create a new account need help ASAP...

I bought it used from craigslist and it asks me for a login I never had service with Verizon. Instead of giving me a form to fill out it gives me a email and a password login. I'm on iOS 4.3.3 if I upgrade to 5.0.1 will it solve the issue? What can I do?? Thanks

When you got the iPad, were you able to immediately turn it on and use the device? If you were, you really need to start all over, by going into Settings > General then scroll to the bottom of right hand side and tap Reset > Erase all Content and Settings. This will wipe all data off the iPad. You'll then need to have the most current version of iTunes on your computer and you'll connect the iPad to it via USB and you'll set up the iPad as a new device. This will let you create your own Apple ID and you can start adding apps, music, pictures, etc., and then create a new data account with Verizon.

IPad 2 won't wake up after auto sleep or pressing sleep button!! Help

Hi all,
Actually sometimes iPad 2 is not waking up after I press sleep button or it goes to sleep after some time. And I need to restart using home and sleep button.
The problem that this doesn't happen always. I faced it few times ! Anybody has any idea if this is software or hardware issue ? The problem also that I can't take it to the apple shop because the problem is not continuous and it is not always visible please help !!!!
BR,
Hani

Something may be hanging up. Do a hard reboot:
Hold the power and home button for at least 10 seconds (hold past the swipe to shut down) until the Apple logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will reboot. You won't lose any data or settings.........

My Macbook Pro goes into sleep mode despite disabling it in Energy Center. It won't wake up without a hard reboot. Why?

I have a LaCie thunderbolt external storage device attached. All the reboots are of concern for this device. I've tried cntrl-option-eject to no avail. Only the power switch works.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

there is a possibility that this is a software problem.
if you did a hard reset and did not sync, you are still observing the device and you are getting the same problem then it is a hardware issue already. but if not try this:
1. perform a hard reset on the device. as mentioned this erases all the data on the handheld.
2. if you are hotsynching to outlook then you can hotsync directly to a new username.
3. if you are hotsynching to palm dekstop then you need to change some settings. you have to rename the backup fodler under the directory c:/program files/palm/(userfolder). once you found the backup folder, right click backup and click rename. rename it to backupold. once done. close current open windows.
4. change the PIMs settigns to desktop overwrites handheld. click the hotsync manager. go to custom. under custom window make sure you are under the correct username. locate for the PIMs and change it to desktop overwrites handheld.
clcik on ok and done and then hotsync to the same username.
hope this one works.

IPod Touch 1st generation won't start up after hard reset

My iPod Touch 1st generation stopped working after I clicked "Erase all contents & settings". It won't start unless I hold the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button together. Then I get the Apple Logo but after a short time a wheel appears just below the logo which never disappears. I have pressed those 2 buttons while the iPod is plugged in to a power source & left it overnight but the wheel still doesn't disappear & nothing further happens. Any suggestions?
