My iPad wont turn on? but apple logo appears

Thanks so much for this! My ipad is ALIVE!! 🙂

Well I had the same issue with my iPad. here is what I did to resolve it in within couple of hours.

Plug iPad into wall socket charger and keep it for at least 45 mins. This would ensure it has enough charge to do multiple reboots in the recovery/restoration process.

FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE using the below steps:

Note: Ensure your iTunes is latest if not just update it. Should not take more than 15 mins on a good connection.

1. Turn on computer/laptop and launch iTunes (make sure you use the latest version of iTunes)

2. Plug USB cable of iPad into the USB port

3. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug.

4. Release Home button.

ON PC/Laptop

5. iTune detects iPad in recovery mode (you might get a notification of drivers being installed in the right corner for the USB Device connected; just let it complete).

6. iTunes will now detect iPad and ask for Restore & Update. Select "Restore iPad"

7. iTunes will download the latest Software for the iPad and this could take anywhere between 30 to 60 mins. You can disconnect your iPad after 10 mins and plug it back to the socket charger for charging. Reconnect iPad 2 mins before the download completes using steps 2 to 4.

8. Follow the Restoration steps and do not disconnect iPad before it gets completed.

9. Once the restoration completes it will take your through the completion process on iPad, just follow steps quickly.

10. Put iPad back on the charging through wall socket charger and confirm it is charging.

11. Now turn off the iPad and let it charge for a sometime.

I hope this fixes your issue and that you are able to use your iPad just like I am able to now.

This works!! Thanks!!

Thanks - this got me out of the loop of the black screen with Apple logo and shut down.

I was having the same problem where my iPad was not getting past the apple logo before dying. I tried the methods posted, mainly turning off the iPad before getting further in the startup process, and got to the spinning icon, but I think it was dying too fast to plug it back in at that point. Nothing seemed to be working and it seemed to be a battery issue. I then looked up how to charge an iPad faster and realized that I was using a iPhone jack (5 watt) instead of an iPad jack (12 watt). I found my iPad jack and plugged it in, turned off the iPad when it started up like someone suggested, and now my iPad is working great! I read that a speaker jack may also have higher wattage than an iPhone jack, but that a computer jack is even weaker than an iPhone jack.

Quick edit--the iPhone jack is 5 volts and the iPad jack is 12 volts.

Thank you for this information! My iPad is now back among the living.

I Followed these instructions up to repeating 3and 4, holding down the start and home buttons. I did this, as instructed and eventually after about 30-40 times, instead of the Apple appearing it had the power lead telling to plug into iTunes. As soon as it did this, I kept the home button ONLY pressed, connected to iTunes where it immediate said it needed to restore. clicked on and released home button........sorted! Within half an hour, after being without my iPad for over a year thinking it was a goner, it was as new, especially as I just set it back to factory. Great advice from many of the members. Mine was sorted by combining three members advice. Thank you all!!!!

This was great advise, so easy and it worked for me; thanks!

Great research my friend.....i had the same problem, i followed your steps and it work for me.

thanks ya.....🙂🙂🙂🙂

i had the same problem yesterday. i tried doing that & it didnt work. what did for me was the whole night i left it off the charger, & then this morning put it on again & didnt mess with it, & it turned back on. hope this works for you!🙂

Before restoring in recovery mode, it’s suggested to try the following methods which don’t need a restore, especially under the situation that you don’t have a most recent backup:

1. Force the iPad to restart;
2. Use Volume Up, Home and Wake/Sleep button combination; (Video Tutorial)
3. Fix the iOS to normal mode using a third-party tool.

Perfect Answer for my problem! You are the real MVP :-D

IT WORKED! Thank you so much for posting this! I had just gotten the screen fixed and was devestated when the screen went blank and wouldn't load past the apple logo.

Lord Bless you. I finally got my Ipad Air2 into DFU Mode and I will never fall asleep with my battery so low again. Nor will I let it get to that point again. Thank you so much. 🙂
