Ipad Crashed or Frozen

Hi
I'm new to this forum :P

well my iPad crashed and i hold on home button and power button

and now its stuck on the white apple and black screen
when you usually turn on the iPad

what to do ?

If your restarting method doesn’t work then try with a soft reset. Simply press the Home and Hold buttons at the same time. Continue to hold both buttons until you see the screen flash, then turn dark. Wait for about a minute or two before restarting your Apple iPad. Then see what happens.

I am having the same problem - just a black screen with the apple logo in the middle. itunes not picking the ipad up either when plugged into PC. Any advice gratefully received. Have tried holding down the home and hold buttons - it just flashes and then back to the logo again. Many thanks in advance.

I know how to help you in this:
1. PRAY you have been a loyal "backer-uper" and backed up before said crash
2. Plug iPad into computer
3. Press and hold the power button and home button until 1 second after the screen goes black
4. Release ONLY the power button
5. Keep holding the home button until you see Windows say "Installing Device Driver" or something along those lines(sorry Mac users, I don't know what the response would be for a Mac)
6. You can THEN AND ONLY THEN release the home button

7A. If your computer opens up iTunes, Jesus heard your prayers, just restore from your most recent backup
7B. If your computer did not open up iTunes, you may need to bring your iPad to an Apple store.

Thanks Sonia. I had the same problem and followed your advice. It was magic. All systems seem to be 'go'.
