IPad 3 freezing

Hi, my iPad 3 is dispalying an "iCloud Backup" message. When I click Ok it's non responsive, I can't power the iPad off, when I plug it in the backup won't start and it is connected to the wifi. The machine is basically frozen and I can't access anything. Has anyone any ideas?!

  • I can not get my iPad to mirror with Apple TV. When I toggle to mirror the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. The iPad iso is up to date

    I can not get my iPad to mirror on Apple TV. When I toggle the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. Have updated the iOS to latest settings and also updated the settings on the Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • What do you do when your iPad freezes up. The message "iCloud Backup appears and reads "This iPad hasn't been backed uo in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi." Each night I plug my iPad in to recharge.

    What do yoou do when your iPad freezes up. My iPad is plugged in each night and is connected to Wi-Fi. This morning the following message appears:
    iCloud Backup
    "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
    I press OK and it does not budge. I try to power off. The red arrow appears but it does not slide to power off. The iPad has simply frozen on the home page.

    Try resetting it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing.  You won't lose any data by doing this.

  • Brand new New IPad freezes all the time, on everything

    I bought a New IPad a little over a month ago, to replace an aged laptop for my wife. Unfortunately the New IPad freezes all the time, about every five minutes, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. It freezes on pretty much everything, Safari, Chrome, even app store. I've tried reset, upgrading to IOS 6, pretty much everything I know off. I checked message usage, which is low, and I constantly make sure there isn't many apps running. But nothing helps. To me it's really a piece of crap. Very very frustrating.
    My observation, although not very conclusive, is that everytime it freezes, it's in the middle of network activity.
    Once it freezes, home button doesn't work at all, so no way to switch app, or kill an app.
    Has anyone experienced the same? it's more likely a hardware issue, such as memory chip problem?
    Any idea or suggestion to help, I'll appreciate.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Ipad freezes if I try to highlight text when composing mail

    I am having trouble with the Mail application.  When I compose an email, if I try to highlight or select text from one email to copy into a new email, my ipad freezes and I have to exit out of the mail application.  When I open Mail again, everything is blank for about 5 seconds (showing no mail and no folders), then Mail closes.  If I select Mail again, it opens normally but usually will not save my last email. 
    I checked and my ipad is running the current OS software.
    Any help is appreciated!!

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My ipad freeze and cannot shut down

    My ipad freeze while my daughter is playing her kids game.i try to shut down the ipad by pressing the start button but it wont help and now battery is drained flat.What can i do after recharging it.Tx

    I would try letting the battery die completely. After it's dead you should recharge it and it should work. Before you resort to letting the battery die, try holding the top button and the home button for about 15 seconds. This is the restart feature which usually works when your device is frozen. Good luck!

  • Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off or even turn Ipad off.

    Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off, or turn Ipad off.

    FWIW, think I found a solution to this problem elsewhere on this forum. Go to Settings / General / Accessibility on your iPad. Check to see if you have enabled "Bold Text" and if so turn that off. The iPad now restarts. In my case (and others) things are now back to normal with iWorks file management functions.
    I can now rename files, delete them, and do other file management tasks in all iWorks apps on iPad without the apps freezing or freezing the iPad. Would like to give credit to the user who posted that but can't find it at the moment - he claimed that an Apple Tech suggested the fix when he called about it, so they know about it and hopefully will get fixed eventually.

  • HT4623 My iPad freezes on certain web pages such as my jet2login

    MY iPad freezes on certain web pages and does not complete the task. Page back then works but certain pages it will not display are there any settings I am missing? Lynne

    Clear Safari. Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. Quit Safari and reboot the iPad.
    From the home screen - Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipad freezes on software update

    In trying to upgrade operating software for ipad vias itunes the ipad freezes witht he status bart at about 60%. Have tried restoring the sotware with the sane result. Any suggestions?

    Hi and welcome....
    If your Mac is running v10.6.5 as your profile suggests, click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...
    Restart your Mac.
    Restart your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPad. To turn iPad back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
    Make sure the iPad battery is charged to 100%. It's faster to charge from a wall outlet then USB.
    Now try updating your iPad.
    If you still have problems repair permissions on your Mac.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done.
    If you see any warnings re: SUID messages, they can be safely ignored, information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?viewlocale=en_US

    Restart your Mac, try again.

  • HT201317 ipad freezing when saving edited photos

    After I edit photos in Photo Stream I try to save them to my Camera Roll and my ipad freezes up.   Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I don't think you can save a photo from Photo stream to Camera roll. So add a new album, then try adding the Photo Stream photo to the new album and it should also appear in Camera Roll.
