iPad just stopped working; will not turn on

Just worked for me, too! Thanks. Anyone know what is the cause of an iPad Air not working as described in all the above posts?

My iPad has been shutting down or not turning on for some time now. Once I'm lucky enough to get to the desktop I click settings, go to reset (at the bottom of the list) and click reset all (in blue at the top of the list). Sometimes it works and at times it shuts down again while resetting! Frustrates the **** out of me! I can't say when it will happen, the thing has a mind of its own!!!

Wow!!!! That is awesome, I was really, really in a panic because I have everything on my iPad. But I tried the method and it started working agai njust fine.

My wife came to me in a panic this morning stating that her ipad was fully charged and it just went dead. She said she kept pressing the on button without success. She wondered if if had reached its limit and had to be replaced. I said I didn't know. She walked away saying fix it honey. Yeah sure, I thought. I tried the same thing even holding it for a few seconds as I was instructed to do on an earlier problem, but still nothing. Finally I Google the question and it brought me to the apple support site where I read that holding BOTH the on button and the home button for 10 seconds should make it turn on. I followed the instructions and like magic the apple logo appeared. I called my wife and showed her the on screen. She was elated. Today is going to be a good day! Thanks for the assistance.

Still doesnt work on my second gen ipad. It keeps turining black

Thank you! I was so upset about losing my iPad! This is great and such an easy fix!

thanks so much..really it was a burden for me because it was two days my ipad wasnt working..but wen i read ur suggestion..it worked...thanks again

Thank you sososo much!! I had the same problem after using it for about a month and I need it for school and I was so upset!!! Then I found this and it worked like a charm!! Thank you!!!

I tried the 10 sec & Home page button suggestion (for which 'Thank you'") but it didn't simply come fully. It showed me an icon that asked me to connect to ITunes, which when I did, I got a message to RESTORE my iPad Air, which I did. I had also been told by iTunes that I might have to replace all the items on it , but it seems to have restored fully to where the iPad was when it stopped working. Curious.

Worked like a charm on my iPad which had died after a 3 ft drop! Thanks a ton!

Thank you Apple Community. I followed the directions except the apple picture did not appear until the 15th count. Got my IPad back.

THanks so much the 10 sec worked

My iPad wouldn't open any apps so I held the lock/home button for ten seconds, which i have done in the past. Usually that works great. But this time it still wouldn't turn on. I have charged it and tried rebooting it several times and it will not turn on even after i hold the lock/home button and the apple logo appears. Any suggestions?

thanks a lot!

Many thanks, held down Home and Start buttons together for about 15 seconds and worked like a charm.
