My IPad died
It was fine when I turned it off but when I went to use it yesterday, it was just a black screen,as in it wont turn on.Any suggestions on retrieving the contents. Any really free retrieval software out there? The one I tried was free to retrieve it but to save it to computer was almost $70. and it didnt save/retrieve my PDFs.
Suggestions please! |
Do you have a computer with which to sync your ipad? I sync mine through Itunes (which can be downloaded free, I believe). It would be interesting to see if your computer can read the ipad that way. I have never heard to special software to retrieve info from a secondary drive and would be very hesitant to go that route. Maybe swing by an Apple store to see if they can help?

Odd coincidence! Mine showed a black screen yesterday but I assumed my husband had inadvertently shut it down instead of off. I plugged it in as if to recharge and it was good to go.

Hum strange, my iPad booted me off sites several times yesterday. Weather?

Make sure it is fully powered and then do a reset on it. Mine has occasionally gone out to lunch, and a reset does it. You can look up how to do a reset for your specific model on-line.

This is very weird. My year-old chromebook went completely black this morning and I couldn't get it to respond to anything! After a while, I tried holding the power key for 10 seconds and it came back up. This has never happened to me before. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might think...................

My iPad mini did this not too long ago. I figured out that if I held down both the power button and the main front button, it did a hard reset and it came back to life. Not sure if it's the same for full-size iPads, but as CanoePam suggests, I'd look online and see and give that a shot. Can't hurt!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Nothing is worse than when a precious bit of technology becomes a paperweight. :( |
Thanks my friends! I can't believe I tried resetting it yesterday and it didn't work. Thought I would try it again today before I was going to go to the Apple Store. And, WOW! It worked! I am back up and running! Weird things are a happening! LOL!

My I-Pad is acting up this last week. The icons come up and I select one of them. When I attempt to use my finger to select something on that page, it does not work. I am planning to bring it to the Apple store this weekend. My children gave it to me for Christmas last December.
