What does the reds striped battery icon mean?

all of a sudden my iPad displayed a white outlined battery with a few red lines.  When i left it the battery was about 69%.  I may have run it down.  I've plugged it in to recharge but nothing seems to be happening?  Did i kill that battery?  I've only had this for about 3 years, so can it be dead already?
thanks,  Ps I'm not sure what operating system i'm on ... either.

It's possible that the battery has died. It would not be unheard of, that's for sure. Especially if the battery was defective.
Have you tried resetting the iPad to see if it comes around?
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.

  • What does the red circle with #1 mean on an specific app?

    My App store shows that all apps are up to date, but 2 games have a red circle with number 1:  4 elements and Call of Atlantis

    I'm not sure how your question relates to apps and games on the iPad. This is the Using iPad forum. I have never downloaded an app in the Mac App Store. The information that I provided is in reference to games and apps using the iPad, but I assume that the Mac App Store works the same way.
    Bearing in mind that I have never downloaded from the App Store on the Mac, as I can best remember, only Apple applications and software updates would show up via Software Update. For instance, prior to the Mac App Store in Snow Leopard, any updates that were or are available in any third party applications on the Mac would have their own updaters and will not be available via Software Update. Microsoft Office for example had it's own Microsoft Updater application and those updates never came via Software Update. Software update does not work for third party apps.
    Apparently, if you purchase for the Mac App Store, updates are indicated like they are on the iPad with the red number in the circle on the App Store icon in the dock.

    what does the red dot next to the cfp icon under remote systems mean

    Hi,
    This red dot is just to show you which fieldpoint controller is selected. You can change between controllers, and the red dot will move.
    Have a Great Day!

  • What does the red bubble mean that is near the phone symbol and moves over to the vm symbol when phone is turned on

    What does the red bubble mean that appears near the phone symbol then moves over temporarly to the VM symbol, when first turning the phone on.  It goes away with a few seconds

    It means you have no signal, or if on the VM icon, it means to visual voicemail.  Sounds like you're just getting it temporarily until the phone establishes a signal.

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • HT4059 what does the red light and 'not in store' mean

    What does the red light in manage my books mean? And what does 'not in store mean'?

    Hello Simon,
    I believe you have two unrelated problems. The red light is only associated with the digital audio port and indicates the "mute" switch inside the jack that turns off the built-in speakers when phones are in use has jammed in the mute position. No way it should affect your ability to start the computer. That has to be something else.
    Does your computer give the normal startup chime sounds when you turn it on?
    If you are getting the normal startup chime and have a wired keyboard, boot while pressing the SHIFT key. Keep holding the SHIFT key until you get a desktop, then let go the key. At this point, do not try to do any work with the computer but rather see if it will restart normally (without holding any keys or key combos).

  • What does the red or green bar at the top of a Keynote presentation rehearsal mean?

    Can anyone tell me what the red or green bar means at the top of a Keynote rehearsal presentation? I got the answer wrong on the iworks exam and can't find the answer anywhere. Thanx

    This is the Ready to Advance Indicator. 
    Red means the slide is  building effects and is not  ready to be advanced to the next slide.
    Green means the slide is fully built and is ready to be advanced.

  • What do the blue versus gray icons mean for groups in address book

    When I subscribe to another address book, it sits below a line under all my contact groups.
    My group icons are grey, the subscribed contact group icons are blue.
    If I drag a subscribed group to my "All" group then it sits there like a normal group, and sync to my iphone/touch etc. but the icon remains blue.
    I got excited thinking that it would automatically update any changes found in the subscribed address book but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    So what does the blue icon mean? is there something special I can do with it? I can't find any apple documentation anywhere.
    Thanks
    Edward

    The blue dots mean the addressee has a device capable of using iMessage.
    Try using the phone number instead of the email address to send the message.

  • What does the red dot in the headphone jack have to do with my phone not holding a charge, my phone has never been wet.

    My phone has never gotten wet. My phone doesnt hold a charge for more than about 3 hrs., so I brought it in to Verizon about the battery. The lady looks into the headphone jack and says it has a red dot its not under warranty any more. What does the headphone jack have to do with my battery.

    The "red dot" is a moisture sensor. If it is red, then your phone did get wet, or was exposed to excessive moisture, which voids the warranty.  Liquid/moisture inside the phone can compromise or short out the electronics, causing excessive battery drain.
