My ipad 2 crashed last night and now its just turning on and off in a cycle

My ipad 2 crashed last night due to the battery being low and when i plugged it in, it showed thae apple logo and turned back on. Then it flashes to my homescreen for under a second and then just turns right back off again! I have tried rebooting it by holding down the home and lock screen at the same time but it just powers on and does the exact same thing again. It has been doing the same thing the whole night so I dont know what to do? Oh and when I plug it into iTunes, iTunes just tells me theres an error and the iPad wasnt synced, im really worried now so i need help Thanks

Hello francesca62,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The following article has some troubleshooting steps for you to go through, specifically steps 5-7. Even though the title says it's for iPhone, the same information applies to your iPad.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device 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.

My phone has died. I tried upgrading my Iphone 3gs yesterday to ios. It failed to update, it has failed to restore. Now its just showing a plug and Itunes on the screen. Please help soonest

My I phone is literally dead. I tried upgarding the software yestreday, it refused saying there was an error, I was given an option to restore it, it has failed. Now there is no old software as well as the new software. Its showing a plug and an Itunes signal on top. Thats all that it has. I will be very grateful to receive any form of help out there.

The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

Macbook screen spontaniously went dark then bright and now its just very dark and flickering!?

The screen on my white Macbook 2010 has spontaniously dimmed dark and then back to bright then flickered back to dark. Now it just seems to be dark and constantly flickering to the point where i can hardly see anything and can use it at all??
please help

Hey did you get an answer yet because my Macbook is also having the same problem.
The screen just goes black when I either turn my computer on or let it Sleep or clamshell it. It turns on for a split second then goes black.

But that only covers for Macbook Pro. I took it to the store today and they confirmed it's only for Macbook Pro, although it's obviously the same problem.

Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged.
What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

Do you get an error message.
Was your phone ever locked to a different phone carrier?
When you can't activate, usually means your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlocked it, then when you updated the IOS it locked back to the original carrier.
