Whwhat do when the iPad will not power down??

What to do when the Ipad does not power down, it just freezes.

Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen and let go of the buttons. Ignore the red slider if it appears. Let the iPad fully restart, then try to turn it off again.

  • My iPad will not power down.  It automatically restarts and drains the battery because it is on all the time.

    My IPad will not power down and stay off.  It powers down and then restarts after a few seconds.  Since it is on all of the time, it drains the battery between uses.

    Then I think it is time to take to an Apple store to be checked. Make an appointment at your closest store. You can keep it plugged in to maintain the battery until you get it checked.

  • HT4623 My ipad will not power down anymore.  Each time I try to power down it shuts down, then powers up straight away.  I have checked my settings and cannot find anything to  help me.

    MY ipad will not power down anymore.  Each time I try to power down it shuts down then powers up again.

    See if this fixes it. Reboot and let the iPad start up, then try to power down.
    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.

  • Know how to resolve when the ipad will not download a movie from the ITunes Store?

    my ipad will not completely download rented movies. It shows that it is "Purchased" but never completes the download so the movie cannot be watched in its entirety.

    I suspect you don't have enough Available storage space. Check at Settings>General>About>Available
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

    I have had Lion since it was first released July 20th, and I have noticed that I can not zoom in on everything that is on the internet, some things seem to not be able to be zoomed in on.  Are you saying that no matter what website you go to (this one for eample) the zoom function does not work?

  • My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

    My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

    Try putting it into recovery mode.
    Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
    Open iTunes
    Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
    Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
    Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
    Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
    A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
    Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

    Hi ,  My modem got zapped by lightning yesterday.  My iMac still was able to power on when I tried it yesterday.  Today the modem is replaced and internet is working, but now the computer will not power on.  I followed the steps to reset SMC.  Nothing. ??

    Ouch, not much more you can do, I think you'll have to have it looked at.

  • IPad 3 will not power down

    iPad 3 will not power down. Also no information  of any kind is displayed in settings.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1414 iPad will not power up

    My iPad will not power up.  What could be the problem?  I've ruled out the AC power adapter.

    it's possible that your battery has gotten sick, or maybe the software or sensor associated with the battery/power is having issues. If it won't power up then you may need to take it to your local apple store and see what they say. just know that if your ipad is out of warranty then it may not be a free fix.

  • My ipad will not power up or restore on iTunes

    my ipad will not power up or restore on iTunes it says it is recovery mode and it is not eligeble to restore

    You may still be able to restore the iPad if it went into recovery mode on it's own. Read this.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    Just follow the directions carefully.

  • My ipad will not power up

    My ipad will not power up. How do I reset it?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • After updating my wife's iPad to iOS6 the ipad will not connect to wifi on certain wireless routers. What can we do? Also, same for iPad mini with same router. But iPhone that has iOS5 has no problem connecting.

    Need help. Before updating to latest software iOS6 the iPad had no issues connecting on our home router. After updating the iPad will not work. We have a mini iPad with same issue. But I have a iPhone 4S that I chose not to update to iOS6, still has iOS5. It connects no problem to router. Our computers have no issues connecting to router either. There is a software issue with iOS6.0.1 that will not allow certain routers to communicate. What can I do?  Also, the mini iPad stated a newer version of software is out, version 6.0.2 which is supposed to correct the wifi problems. It has helped but still haven't connectivity issues. However, the iPad states software is up-to-date so we cannot update to 6.0.2 even through connecting to computer on iTunes. How can that be?

    Try going to settings, reset , reset network settings.
