What would cause iPad to go through power up but turn off once it hits the home screen?

I put my iPad on charge last night. This morning it will not power up. If I plug it into the charger the battery symbol comes up like it needs a charge. After a few minutes the Apple logo comes up, then it flips to the home screen but then immediately turns off again. It will cycle this way as long as I keep it plugged in. Any suggestions?

thanks for the reply but I could never get it to work. If I plug the charger in eventually the apple logo will come up but as soon as it goes to the next screen, everything shuts down. Like the battery is dead. But it's plugged into the charger.

I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen

No such app exisits or can exist. Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone. Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

Hi there iPad 3rd Generation,

IPod Nano 4G frozen at language screen. Tried holding down menu-click without success. Have gone through restore process, but it continues to stick at the language screen. Intel iMac 3ghz, OS X 10.6.7, iTunes 10.3.1 (55).

I have a frozen iPod Nano 4G. After syncing it gets stuck at the language screen and cannot proceed any further.
I have tried holding down the Menu and click buttons for >6 seconds, without luck. Have reset to factory settings and re-syncd, but it keeps getting stuck at the language screen.
I suspect it is the latest version of iTunes causing the problem, as I just installed it a couple of days ago and this is the first sync since the update.

+Do you have access to, another Firewire enabled Mac, that you could use, to attempt a retrieval of data, using Firewire Target Disk Mode?+
A question on this Firewire Target Disk Mode - If I could get access to another Firewire enabled Mac and connected the two together, host #2 to Target #1, with a Firewire cable (6-pin to 6-pin), and power the two up, even though #1 would not be booted up to the desktop but just have the hard drive powered up, would the hard drive of #1 be accessible to #2? If so, would I be able to perform any repairs or do anything to the drive to enable it to bootup the #1 computer? This would be similar to when I remove and hook up a 2.5" IDE-ATA PC laptop hard drive to another PC computer, usually a desktop, via a drive adapter and USB 2.0 cable, as an external drive. When I do this in a PC, it's usually one that is unable to boot up to Windows due to malware or other problems. I am able to see the files and folders on the #1 computer's hdd and then clean out any malware (virus/spyware), or add/replace any corrupt/damaged Windows files that might be keeping the #1 computer from booting up. After that, I can usually return the hdd to the #1 computer and boot up normally to finish any clean up or change any settings.
I had considered taking the hdd out of this damaged iMac computer and attempting to hook it up with a PC, but after seeing how difficult it is to get to this hdd and not sure of what I'd do when and if I did get the two connected together, I put the idea way back as a last resort. I wasn't sure I'd even be able to see any folders or files on the Mac hdd due to the differences between OS X and WinXP. And, after reading that Macs aren't susceptible to malware, I didn't know what I would be accomplishing.

Ipad mini crashes, goes black, apple logo comes up then back to the home screen. it happens at random times with random apps

my ipad has been crashing. it will happen at random times with random apps. it will turn black, apple logo appears, then back to the home screen. i have reset it. ive sent it to apple and they couldnt reproduce the problem and they sent it back. it was fine then it happen twice this morning.

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

What causes Safari browser to instantly click off and return to the home screen?

( iPAD 1) Safari browser unexpectedly ceases operation, screen goes black, followed by display of iPad startup screen. What causes this to happen?
I've notice that static web pages don't seem to cause the problem, but active websites do. iPAD is always in wifi mode. Side by side comparison with alt devices reveals that the webpage appears stable. Software is shown to be up to date too. Is this a symptom of battery decline?

Seriously doubt a battery issue. When browsers act up, try maintenance.
Tap Settings > Safari then tap to clear history, cookies, and data.
If that doesn't help...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
No data is lost due to a reset.

What would cause iPad to suddenly not connect to wifi

all of a sudden both iPad and ipad2 will not connect to wifi. have matched everything up and also reset modem

There have been many reports here of the wifi failing on ipad2's that are running ios8. It has been speculated that ios8 is the culprit but I've not heard anything definitive. Since both of your devices have failed I would check the router first by going somewhere that has free internet or friend or family that has one. Staples and stores like it generally has free internet access if you have something of the sort around your area. It will help to point you in the right direction in telling you if it''s the router or your phones if you don't have luck with basic trouble shooting. Good luck.

I started doing the Ios6 update on the Ipad 2 and had to restore but now it is stuck on the apple screen. I have tried to reset the Ipad.

I Sarted doing the update through WIFI and it asked me to connect to Itunes which I have done. Then it said I needed to restore the I pad which I clicked to do, it went through all the motions then cam up with an error message on the laptop. Now all I can get is the apple on the screen like when you switch it on or off. I have tried holding the power and home buttons to restart the Ipad but it goes black then comes back to the apple? Any help would be welcomed.....

HT201263 iphone 4 will not turn on for anything. touching the home screen and lock screen still doesnt turn it on. what should i do

my iphone 4 was working fine yesterday and last night it just started cutting off and on by its self and now it doesnt want to come on at all. what should i do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Take it apart and verify that you reassembled it correctly. Next take it to someone with more experience.

What would cause iphone to not turn on?

Recently my iphone 5 started freezing up when left charging overnight. I must hold home and power button for ten seconds to wake up. What would cause this?

Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

do you hold the home and sleep button?

When I click on a program with my ipad air, it opens then immediately goes back to the home screen. I often have to open a program 2 or 3 times before it stays open. Is anyone else having this problem?

My ipad air sometimes opens a program, then immediately closes an returns to the home screen. Often will take me 2 or 3 times opening the program to get it to stay open. This does not happen with any particular program. Happens randomly.

Hi Flygrandma,
What you are describing is that the app is "crashing". You may notice that some apps do it more than others. To try and fix this, cycle the power. To do this, you want to fully turn the iPad off.
Hold the sleep wake button down.
The iPad should say something like, "slide to turn off". Do that.
After the screen is not grey, and completely black... wait 15 seconds, then turn your iPad on again.
This should resolve your issues.

IPhone and iPad Constantly return to the Home Screen

My iPhone AND iPad constantly quits mail, pandora, and may other apps and returns to the home screen. It also does the same in the middle of typing emails. I have spent four months back and forth to the Apple Store with no success. The attitude has been well...I don't know what's wrong. Now the warranty is up. Any advise or options?

You name it, I have done it, multiple times. I have restored and set up as a new device every trip(4) to the Apple Store and on my own several times. The store has also reset the firmware twice. I have spent about 10 hours at different stores tech with no resolve. This all started when icloud came out.

My iPad is suddenly charging very slowly. What would cause this?

That should not be the case with the charging. You may want to visit an Apple store and see what they recommend. An iPad will not charge from a USB port on a computer as there is not enough power. You say you are plugging into the wall so I am guessing there is a charger block involved. There may be something wrong with the charger block so it may be worthwhile finding another iPad charger and trying that charger.

What would cause iPad to go through power up but turn off once it hits the home screen?
