i didn't even know that was possible. WTF

I thought Apple was impervious to BSOD

Eek! Well, that won't do :O

ouch...... That really sucks =(

An emerging issue with iPads, I think http://discussions.info.apple.com/m.....ageID=11740046

I recommend making a Genius Bar appointment. If it won't restore, that means that something hardware related is likely wrong with it, and they should replace it.

Ya know that's never happend to me and I never played angry birds, so it might just be the game

GG

Maybe you got a defective circuit inside or something.

Best bet would be to go to the store you bought it from and
ask for an exchange. Even the "almighty Apple" (note the sarcastic quotes there ;P)
aren't immune to factory-slipups, after all.

Eh, bad feedbacks on the cheap quality of the Ipad2, I don't know if it's this one you got but they butchered the Ipad2 in order to sell it more quickly, they were losing against their competition and they won't accept that ;)
I still hope it'll be fixed soon :3

I bought an ipad and took it back to the shop the next day XD There's so many other good things you could get with that money that would be useful :)

Also: I really really love that expression in the last panel XD

It's free, won it from a contest

in itunes, you should be able to restore by clicking on it in the "devices" and in the summary tab there should be a restore button. thats what i used for my ipod touch

thats why I dont really like ipads :c

I feel sorry for you x3

You can get it fixed for free at any Apple store or through Apple. If they can't fix it, you get a new one for free.

And for what it's worth, I've never heard of anyone getting a "BSOD" on an iPad.

Not really. They will LOOK at it for free... or give you a new one free of charge if they cannot fix yours... if they have to fix it, they will charge you for parts and services unless it is under warranty... although I think for the first year, all products are under warranty...

If it's a new iPad 2, then it's automatically under Apple's warranty for the first year, and that covers everything, including parts, services, repair, and replacement.

Yep. I just didn't want to let anyone get a wrong impression that apple will fix any product at any point in time free of charge... thus why I said "I think for the first year, all products are under warranty"

Free stuff symtom.

Lol yeah, good thing the intuos no such syndromme ><

well you know what your problem is it's A MAC.

Man, those birds must've been REALLY pissed.

Look at the bright side; Now you've got REALLY fancy toilet paper.

Oh man, I'm scared to play Angry Birds on mine now :<

There has to be some way of getting it fix, I hope you find it ^^

Apple: The finest in durable, reliable technology.

Good to know, I've been wanting to get an Ipad in the future. But that sucks, that an Ipad that you won would go all failish.

No apple product is immune to anything a computer can have as if you take away the mac OC, it is just a computer, same parts and everything. Also, the Mac OS is also just a program, still able to be hit by viruses, still able to have crashes; anyone, including the apple people at the store, that tell you differently are lying. It may get less viruses, but that is because less people use them so less people make the viruses for them. A blue screen error is usually just a problem with some reg file that needs to be corrected due to reformatting or repairing the file (sometimes shoddy ram) as well, though from the sounds of it, you already tried taking it to a Apple store and having them do that?

*Mac OS

then maybe your icon is a hint what kind of a pad you should get ;3

Oh snap, kernelpanics all over the shop ... *dodges*

lol... that expression on the last panel is so great.
having your new toy break though isn't so great :(

huh, hadn't heard of this issue, is it a version one or version 2?

... oople ;p
computer.... cellphone... just pick one.
any tool that tries to be both, will do neither well.

it's possible they bsod in they apple product ? XD

lolz, fail.

Personally I think the Android 3.0 tablets look more exciting. Given the awesomeness of the Android phones I'd be all over their tablets if I were in the market for such a thing :)

Doesn't HP have a better tablet pad that's not only cheaper, but can also run flash?

yeah, that seriusly sucks =3=

nice comic thou, if it help.

Im waiting for a windows 7 tablet :P

That does suck. Generally the Ipad is quite good. I'll admit though, the Motorola Xoom is extremely nice as well. I have an I touch, PC and android stuff in the house. I think Android gives you a bit more flexibility as far as being able to edit the BIOS and so forth. But the Ipad is nice! I think you just got unlucky and got a dud.

I had that issue once, but I was able to do the restart. Not sure if you've tried that or not, holding down power home buttons? It worked for me the three times it's happened to me.

I regret to inform you Mr. Silverfox, we cannot take back your iPad because of the warrenty does not cover furs breaking it in half.

ironically, i was at the Rogers Wireless store here helping my mom get a smart phone, when another customer came in with his iphone... he had been watching star trek voyager on the iphone, and the whole thing locked up... even the hard boot didnt work to reset it. and as the batery is integrated, he couldnt pop out the battery to reset it... in the end they told the guy to just leave the phone until it runs out of power and shuts off normally, then fully charge it before turning it on again.


my mom got an andriod phone. :P

You're lucky enough to have a community full of computer nerds. What exactly is it doing? Locking up? Screen staying turned off? Have you tried holding down the lock button and the home button (at the same time) for a while to see if that will force it to reboot?

It crashed with a blue screen, after rebooting it, i have to restore it and during the restoration, it bsod again D:
The apple logo and the plug in to itune image on the starting screen is all messed up too *_*

wow that's pretty fucked up. I've never seen an iPad that faulty. Get it fixed by Apple by calling the appropriate number: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I'm guessing that's why you have an android bot for your avatar XD

I am waiting till the andriod version comes out before I even think about getting a tablet PC

That iPad's a SSSPAI!

awesome !!!!!!^^

Ouch ^.^;

不给力的苹果……>_<

Put Android on it 8D

One of the many reasons of why the iPad sucks.

Wow, I had never heard of an iPad having a kernel panic until now. I've been using an iPhone for a couple of years now and have never seen this on there, either.

my ipad make no problems....

brings a whole new meaning to 'bad apple' >.>;

Glad I never got a Ipad or any of that other stuff.
