Why won't ipad slide to unlock?

Ipod in frozen on "slide to unlock" screen. What do I do?

Thank you!  My iPad 3rd gen was stuck and I reset as you suggested to others and it worked.  You just saved me either a call to Apple or a trip to the store.     Thanks much.

    Why won't iPad video open when emailed to Windows desktop?

    Hey there Ray_J,
    I understand that you want iTunes to be opening every time you connect your phone to your computer. You may wish to adjust this setting in your iTunes preferences to affect this behavior:
    Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Prevent devices from automatically syncing with this iTunes library when a device is connected. To sync a device, click the Sync button when the device is connected.
    iTunes 12 for Mac: iTunes Devices preferences
    https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19595
    If this is unchecked, iTunes will open automatically when you connect an iOS device. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • HT201412 why iphone 4s cannot slide to unlock?

    why iphone 4s cannot slide to unlock?

    Told by Apple store that it is an LCD problem and has to be repaired.  Without warranty, it will cost approx. $150.  I think they will give you a new one if your is under warranty... not sure.

  • TS3274 my ipad slide to unlock wont respond

    my ipad "slide to unlock" will not work for some reason, have tried connecting to computer, still no luck. anyone know whats wrong

    Try rebooting the iPad.
    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.

  • Why won't iPad sink to apple tv unless they are both turned off and on?

    Why won't iPad sink with apple tv unless they are both reset each time?

    Rudegar,
    Our network is very stable and we aren't seeing any problems with anything else and besides, these worked fine until we did the update.
    The wifi access point is in the same room about 6-8 ft. away and it's kind of hard to connect an appletv by ethernet to an iPad. 
    The appletv runs fine using it's built in applications, like Netflix, Disney, Radio, etc.
    All of this makes me think it's not a wireless problem, but it's something in the appletv software after doing the update that won't hold the iPad connection.
    I appreciate your suggestions and will pass your information along to our network person.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • Why won't ipad print to HP office jet 8600 all in one printer model n911a ?

    Why won't ipad print to HP Office Jet 8600 model n911a? My I Phone 4S will print to printer but Ipad won't.

    Hi,
    The HP Officejet 8600 is an AirPrint enabled printer, there is no such 8600A model as listed above.
    Try updating the printer firmware and check for any change:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02919168&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &product=4323659&tmp_track_link=ot_search
    If the same persists it might happen due to lack of Bonjour compatibility or wrong configuration of your router.
    Try bypassing the router using the HP Wireless Direct option:
    Click the Network / Wireless Icon on the printer front panel and then tap on Settings.
    Click on Wireless Direct and select On (No Security).
    From your iPad go to Settings > Wi-Fi and connect to the printer's network, it should include either 8600 or n911.
    Try printing and check for any change, if that works be sure to clarify your router brand and model to better understand if it support Bonjour and how that kind of support can be enable.

  • Why won't ipad play music or video files?!

    This started suddenly. Music and videos will load but not move at all (jumps right back to pause as soon as I hit play.) I know they are loaded because I can jump to different frames of video but neither will move at all. Other apps are also snarled (This American Life keeps quitting as soon as I go to certain screens.)
    Have I mentioned that I wish I just bought another PC? Same BS, twice the cost...

    Try this and see if it helps.
    Quit all apps in the recents tray completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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.

  • Why won't the System Preferences Unlock?

    Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite...I've been finding that I've been having issues.
    First my itunes doesn't respond to the keyboard commands.
    Now my system preferences won't unlock properly.
    Can someone provide me with a solution to this that doesn't involve reinstalling?

    I get the password prompt and it makes the sound like its unlocking. But it immediately relocks faster than I can make any changes.
    And yes, i have the latest version of Itunes.
    Also I should add, I find myself somehow able to click faster than it can relock on occasion, which keeps it unlocked for maybe 10-15 seconds, before it relocks again regardless of what's going on in the pane. Its rather annoying.

  • Why won't ipad calendar info show on outlook after sync?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my ipad calendar info into outlook on my laptop without success. Things from my computer transfer to the ipad but not the other direction!  I think that in the past I was able to do this but not lately.                                                                           

    Sometimes quitting and restarting your devices can help. Quit iTunes, restart your computer, restart the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    One other thought, the apps have been updated to work with iOS 5 if needed - correct?

  • Why won't iPad recognize wifi

    After upgrade to 6 iPad won't recognize wifi I have always used at home and office. What do I do?  Also lost a game and app center does not show it as purchased.  Now what do I do?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks  http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Why won't ipad connect to internet?

    My home network/internet is working fine for my MBP on a new Cisco router. ipad was also for a week. This afternoon, the ipad stopped connecting via wifi. It shows 3 bars, but won't connect. No recent updates or changes.
    Any others with similar problems or system failures?
    -Ira

    Select the wireless network to view the network settings. Select Forget this Network for the network to delete the network and network settings from your iPad. Follow this by re-joining the network.
    If no change after this, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings. This will erase all wi-fi networks from your iPad which will require re-joining every wi-fi network that you have access to with your iPad when returning within range of such a wi-fi network.
    If no change after this, try restoring your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after this, your iPad has a hardware problem.

  • Why won't iPad and iMac search and pair successfully?

    They both search away and even at times say "connected" at the same time, once a number came up which matched the other and I clicked it but then they went back to searching.

    Nope, that's via iCloud, which is not bluetooth.  If you are using iCloud as your backup of choice, everytime you backup your iPad, your photos and content you've selected in iCloud settings are also backing up to the cloud.  iPad backs up to iCloud everytime it's connected to Wifi, plugged into a wall outlet and locked.  Since you have iPhoto on your iMac, you can see photos which are in Photostream as well.

  • Why won't iPad open PDF's after updating to IOS8

    After upgrading to IOS 8, my iPad Mini (MD541LL/A)  will no longer open PDF's from a website using either Safari or Chrome.
    This behavior was observed using 8.0.2 and is still there after upgrading to 8.1 (12B410).
    A fix to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Do all PDF documents fail to open from any website, or is the issue with a specific website?  For example, if you search for "ext:pdf" on google.com, then click on a link with "[PDF]" at the beginning of the link, do they all fail?
    Does Safari say it is unable to download the file, or does something else happen?
