My Ipad has been in a constant loop of turning on and off on charge for the past few hours, I really don't know what to do. I've had a few charging problems before (taking forever to charge, the computer not recognising it, saying 'Not charging' for numerous wall chargers and generally messing up.) But today it won't turn on at all. I've got through at least ten chargers over the months, and I've had this Ipad since Christmas, so not even a year.
Basically, when it's charging (I've tried wall and desktop computer.) it shows the Apple logo, then boots up, shows the lock screen for a second, then dies, then repeats this process over and over until I take it out, then it does the 'No battery' sign. I updated to IOS7 a while ago too, about a week after IOS7 came out. Thanks, Georgia. Ok, after having my ipad 2 3rd Generation for about a year, its bombed out on me, similar problem, playing on it until battery died. Didn’t think anything of it, plugged into charge thinking it would be charged by the morning. This didn’t happen.
If you use USB-C, HDMI, or DisplayPort to connect to a TV or second screen, you can play audio from your Surface over the TV's or second screen’s speakers. VGA connections transmit only video. If you use a VGA adapter to connect to a second screen, audio plays on the speakers of your Surface unless you connect your Surface to external speakers or a headset. Actually it turns out that Catalyst Control Center does the trick, sort of. Dual monitors, secondary monitor on/off intermittently. (I added a second monitor to my Docking Station and closed the Laptop Screen.) I previously used a Monitor and my Laptop Screen. (The Monitor was set as Primary, and the Laptop screen as Secondary.
It was stuck on the apple sign, booted to home screen and switched off again due to low battery. Continued on this loop for the whole day I searched the internet and it seemed all doom and gloom that I would need to by another one. Then I stumbled upon a forum where the advice so far has worked for me. The reason why it gets stuck in a loop is because the IPad was not shut down so therefore keeps trying to boot up soon as it has some battery power. Problem is, its gone beyond a point and now there isn’t enough battery life to boot to main or home screen after apple logo.
The remedy is quiet simple, follow these steps to get the ipad to home screen to power it down so it has sufficient time to charge up and boot normally and get off the endless loop. Plug into wall socket to get it charging. Wait until the apple logo appears. QUICKLY hold down home button and reset/ sleep button at the same time until it reboots. Release buttons now. Repeat step 3 for at least 30 to 40 times which is about 10 minutes in duration everytime you see the logo on the screen. Now Let IPad boot up fully, should see home screen with about 2% battery life.
QUICKLY hit the rest/ sleep button down for about 2 to 5 seconds. Swipe the screen to when slider appears to switch off the ipad. This will power down the IPad which now will not reboot by itself so it can now charge without any interruption’s.
Allow battery to charge for a least an hour or two without trying to put it on. Switch the IPad on. You should now have about 10 to 20% battery Life.
Power it down again by holding the reset/ Sleep button down again and swipe the screen to power down, let it charge fully to 100% now which will take few hours. Enjoy your IPad again ? ? Lesson learnt. When your battery power is low, dont wait for it drain completely, rather power the pad down and let it charge when there is only about 2 to 4% battery life left. Hope this guide helps people with the same problem as I had. Took me about 2 days of research and searching until I found a solution that worked. I FOUND A SOLUTION!!!
I know this question is sort of old but I found a solution. This seemed to help me so hopefully it can help you. While your iPad/iPhone/iPod is looping get a charger ready. The Apple logo should appear and then it will automatically turn off. A spinny thing appears showing that it is turning off. While that thing is spinning plug in your charger.
This way when you plug in your charger it doesnt turn back on but is still charging. After a few hourss turn your device back on and you can enjoy your iDevice. Ok, after having my ipad 2 3rd Generation for about a year, its bombed out on me, similar problem, playing on it until battery died.

We recently had a power outage. It was after that when I noticed this issue.
I would turn the computer on, it would go about booting and what not, the blue light is on on the monitor, it's yellow when in power save mode, but the monitor won't come on and so the computer won't finish booting up. I was making sure the power supply was plugged in and it was. BUT, I unplugged it and replugged it and the it worked. The computer finishes booting and runs fine. If I leave the computer on all the time the monitor works fine but if I let it go into sleep mode for an extended period of time or when I turn it off at night, same deal. It's been doing this for about 6 weeks. A little more detail.
I can't just unplug it and plug it back in whenever I want to make it work. It only works if I let the computer try to boot. When it gets to the point where it won't go any further until it recognizes the monitor, I unplug and replug the monitor and it comes on and works fine. I don't have a spare monitor to just try but I suspect the monitor is dying. It's rather old. It's modern flat screen but several years old.
At least 7 or 8 years old. I could use one of my roomate's monitors to test it with but I'd like to explore all other options before I 'go there'. I don't know much about the internal workings of a monitor, much less a modern flat screen. But I get the feeling there's some sort of capacitor or some sort of temporary power storage device that triggers the monitor to start up when it's time to boot up. If that's the case and it's a relativly inexepensive part, I can solder with the best of em. I can afford a new monitor. I'm just a real do it yourself'er and it there's any way I can fix it I'd like to do so.
Again, this thing works beautifully once it's running. I play games like Doom 3 and Half Life and Bioshock. Not SUPER graphic intensive but more so than good ole doom II. I have what was a pretty high end graphics card just a couple of years ago. I can't remember the brand but it was fairly high end at the time and more than ample for what I do. Geforce maybe?
I got it at Best Buy I believe and it was the best one they carried at the time. Anyay, any thoughts? Thanks, Wayne. I've seen this on a few monitors - just to confirm, it happens in the following sequence, right? - Power on from cold - PC powers up - Monitor doesn't turn on, or turns on intermittently - Persists until you unplug the monitor from AC power, then plug it back in - Monitor behaves until you turn the system off again for an extended period of time If that's the case, then it's likely a bad power supply inside the monitor.
It can even be something simple but difficult to track like a partially broken solder connection on a key part of the power supply that breaks the circuit when run from totally cold - once the whole thing warms up a bit, may behave normally. Unless you're experienced in troubleshooting it's not really possible to isolate to a common part. I presume by what you've written that the monitor's out of warranty? The solution is more than likely continue to use the monitor the way it is until it fails permanently, or get a new monitor. Also as bizarre as it may seem, if it's something like a minutely broken solder track somewhere, the monitor may start normally when it's warmer (or even when it's colder) than when the failure occurred.
