When Syncing, my iPad switches screen off and syncing stops

I have the new ipad, and upon syncing, the ipad screen will turn off after a few minutes but the iTunes can't recognizes the iPad anymore. It says "Waiting" but then when I switch the screen back on, the syncing stops.
Its never happened to my original ipad so did I set something wrong?

How long is the waiting? Are you interrupting the processes by switching the screen back on?
Temporarily change the Auotlock to NEVER (Settings, General, Autolock).
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • Ipad switching itself off and on

    I am having trouble with my ipad switching itself on and off-although now, it seems, I can't even turn it on.

    thanks Diavonex-yes, it is charged..tried to do a restore, but it appears that it hasn't worked.  Time will tell, but currently apple icon is showing on the device, and the bar below seems to be half way and at a standstill.  Guess it hasn't switched off as yet-which may be a good sign.

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    Protective cover as in screen protector?  This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
    If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
    It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

  • My iPad switches itself off when I'm on the Internet help

    When I'm using my iPad on the net it switches itself off and I'm having to turn it back on again and out in my password I only want to use it properly

    Hi Lisah,
    It sounds like you may have some corrupted files in the operating system -- when built-in apps and features like Camera and Siri malfunction, corrupted files are often the culprit.  There are a few things you can do to fix this -- first thing I'd recommend would be to back up your device to make sure you have all of your current data and settings saved.  Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    After backing up your data, try resetting all settings in Settings > General > Reset.  Try the camera and charger again to see if you still see the same strange behavior.  If so, there's likely a corrupted file in the iOS installation.  It's pretty easy to reinstall the operating system files to fix this -- you will need a computer with internet access.  Follow the steps in Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support to completely reinstall the iOS files and get a fresh, clean installation.
    After using iTunes to restore the phone, go through the setup assistant on the phone and choose the option to Set up as a new iPhone.  Set it up as new and test the camera again -- if it works this time, that's a good sign!  After making sure it works properly, you can restore from the backup that created before doing all of the resets and restores.  This will bring your content and settings back to the phone.
    Good luck!

  • My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

    Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
    Reboot 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.

  • HT4061 my phone is working however the screen switched itself off and went blank

    Hi, I was in the middle of using the internet when the screen went black, the phone still works I can unlock it and hear all the clicks etc but just cant see anything, I have tried switching it off and back on and plugging it into a charger but with no joy.  This has happened before and when i took it to the apple store they told me it was because I triple clicked the home button and it went into accessibility mode but I had no recoglection of doing this however the phone was fixed, but the same thing happened this time and I know for certain I never triple clicked the home button.  can someone please help as I have had an iphone since september, the 1st one had a faulty button so they replaced it then this one has had problems twice for which I had to travel into the city centre for which is 40 miles away for a problem that has been with the phone.  Can say im a not too happy customer at the minute.

    I have tried this now and with no avail, you can still here the phone working but no visual from the screen.  I have booked an appointment with the apple store to see if I can get this sorted, but once again I have to travel a distance to get this resolved!! not happy to say the least but thank you for your advice.

  • When i active my mac pro all i get is a white screen and  it loading .. and when it fully loaded it turns off and the same thing keep on happening again

    when i active my mac pro all i get is a white screen and  it loading and when it fully load its turn off , and it keep on doing the same thing for hours

    Hi Shahenaz,
    It's a little difficult to understand exactly what's going on with your mac based on the description you gave. Is there anything else you could add? Is it stuck in a reboot loop? Or is it just showing a white screen forever?
    I had pretty much the same problem a few days ago, and was worried my mac was screwed permanently, but I got it fixed up no problem!
    Follow these steps to try and troubleshoot/fix the problem.
    1. Boot into OSX Recovery Mode
    First, turn off your Mac. If it isn't responding, or is stuck in a reboot loop, just hold down the power button until it turns off, and you hear the fans stop. Then boot it while holding the Command and R keys. If it successfully boots into OSX Recovery Mode, continue with this step. If not, skip to step two. (My Mac couldn't successfully boot into the recovery mode, so I had to go to step 2)
    Select "Disk Utility" from the list of options, and find your built in hard drive from the list on the left. Usually there are two listings/names for your drive. The first should be something like "500GB longchainoflettersnumbers Media". Then the one below will be a little easier on the eyes, named Macintosh HD, if you haven't changed its name. That's the one you want, click it.
    Now go to the "First Aid" tab. Click on the "Verify Disk" button in the bottom right corner, and let it do its thing. Once that's done, hit repair disk, also in the bottom right corner. If your disk is corrupted, you may need to run the repair process several times, before it comes up completely clean.
    Once this is done, select Shut Down from the Apple menu and, once your Mac is completely off, turn it back on like normal. If it works, great. If not, proceed to step two.
    2. SafeBoot
    Sometimes, when a mac is acting up and doesn't want to start, all it takes is a safe boot, followed by a regular restart. Or maybe you recently installed a program that either has malicious or errored coding that's causing your troubles. This is where Safe Boot comes in.
    Turn off your mac, and reboot it while holding Shift. (If you want to see the process that's going on in the background, boot while holding Shift, Command, and V. This will enter something called Verbose Mode).
    If it boots successfully into Safe Mode, great. If you believe that there's a particular program that you recently downloaded that might be causing your trouble, now's the time to delete it. If not, just reboot normally and see if it works! If it doesn't, or if your Mac didn't even Safe Boot like mine, proceed to step 3.
    3. Fsck!
    For this step, you're going to be booting your mac into Single User Mode. I'm not going to go into details as to what this step does, but it works for some people. Here are the steps.
    Turn off your mac, and reboot it while holding Command and S. The screen should go black, and you'll see some white text run across the screen, wait a few seconds, until you see the command prompt. Now type
    fsck -fy
    and hit the Enter key. This will run a series of system checks, which could take a few minutes. Be patient on this part. Once it's done, it will show one of two messages:
    1. "The volume (your Mac) appears to be OK
    or
    2. "File System Was Modified"
    If you got message 1, type reboot and press Return. Hopefully your computer works after this - if not, proceed to step 4.
    If you got message 2, run the same command again until you get message 1. If it doesn't seem to be working, turn off your system and proceed to step 4.
    If you couldn't even boot into Single User Mode in the first place (like me), go to step 4 anyways.
    Step 4: Reset the NVRAM
    The NVRAM is another kind of RAM that stores data like the computer volume you had set before you turned it off, or the screen brightness, resolution etc. This memory is saved, unlike with regular RAM. Resetting it isn't harmful to your system, it will just put your screen brightness, volume, etc. to defaults.
    Turn off your Mac, and reboot while holding Command, Option, P, and R, and continue holding them down until you hear the computer restart again.
    I can't really explain why to do this step, I just know it works for some people, and seems to be what unbricked my MacBook Pro. If none of these steps, fixed your Mac, well the situation is looking pretty grim. Try setting up a meeting with a Mac Genius at your local Apple store. However, I know that many other people with these symptoms ended up having a logic board failure. Apple can swap out your logic board for a new one, but the price is pretty hefty, somewhere around $300 I believe.
    Well I wish you luck, I hope this helped you!

    Glitchs like that sometimes happen
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.      
    If sit still reocurrs a lot, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
