I dont have a convenient apple store near me.... what to do? Answers please ASAP now i need it. Whoever answers is a lifesaver!
iPad 2
And where did you buy this iPad?
I bought this Ipad from the apple store in CT.
I'm sorry. I'm English. "CT"?
Connecticut
Im sorry sir connecticut. That's what I mean. Sorry for any incovenience, I shall not waste the help while it there.
No inconvenience at all. It's just that there are a surprising number of us here who are not American. And don't call me "Sir". I'm only 67 and not yet worthy. đ

Don't discourage politeness on the part of our young people! đ
I think 67 is a prime number....
You said you restarted it. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? The step after that would be restoring it.
Best of luck.
P.S. Even though I am (a bit) younger than tonefox, you may call me ma'am if you wish. đ
Let's get back to your question.
How do you charge it? Using a usb connection to your computer won't do it. It's not powerful enough. You have to use the charger your ipad came with and connect it to a wall outlet or surge protector.
Have you tried to reset it? You do that by holding down the power button and the home button at the same time for about 10 to 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. See if that helps.
If nothing works, then it might be worth a trip, however far, to an Apple store in CT. They are in the bigger cities there. You might make a day of it - lots of shopping and restaurants...
And fyi, I appreciated your manners. That's how we how nad how we taught our sons to be - well mannered. And I think people like Paul McCartney, Elton John, Anthony Hopkins and myriad others did not reject Queen Elizabeth II bestowing knoghthood and the title of Sir on them because it would make them sound old.
Hope this helps.
When I started this response only Ocean who spelled out Ct, and Tonefox, who did not help you had responded.
So I'm repeating others.
If the above possible solutions don't work, maybe someone will see your post and have an answer that will save you the trip to the Apple store.
Thanks you very much for your kind comments, I grew up in a family that was big on manners so I would never respond in any kind of rude manner. I am very satisfied with your comments and your advice thank you everyonce for contributing, thank you so much. Thank you! Have a great day! Maybe you all should stop by and answer some more of my questions with your brilliant selves. Due with all respect, LovelyLollipop.
Maa'm, you are very polite and kind and thanks for contributing to my question. Due with all respect, LovelyLollipop
Hi there,
Thank you for that kindness.
However, did you find a solution to your charging problem or will you have to bring it in to an Apple store?
If so, does anyone you know well commute for work to any of the CT cities with an Apple store? Or does anyone close to you commute on the train to NYC for work? If so, there's an Apple store right in Grand Central Station.
You could ask them when it would be convenient for them, and make an appointment at hte Genius Bar at a time that works for them to bring it in and have it fixed or replaced free, even if it's out of warranty and the issue was no fault of yours.
Keep us posted, and hope your ipad fix is easy.
I have an Ipad 2 and.....
