Why does my iPad lose wireless printer options when my Mac shuts down or sleeps?

If my Mac sleeps or is shut down, my iPad doesnt' show any ptinter options. Neigher does my wife's iPad. What do we do to enable both iPads to show our wireless printers regardless of our Macs being powered down?

A shutdown can happen for lots of reasons, but given the history of your device, it's wise to visit your Apple Store. The issue may lie with an improper repair, but it may also be that there's other damage that happened as result of the shattered screen. The RAM may be damaged, as well.
Back up your data. Perform a soft reset, just in case that works. If not, visit your friendly Apple Store/Genius Bar. And please post with the results.

Why does my Adobe Reader DC stop working when I click scroll down options?

I used to use PDF Suite 2014 Standard to view pdf files.
However, tonight a message appeared when I attempted to open files saying ..."if the document does not load then the pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document"
I went to the website provided to download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.
Although I was able to load pdf documents and fill in forms, the program repeatedly would crash whenever I attempted to click on scroll down options on forms.
Any help is appreciated
....and talk/write slowly for I am not super computer literate.
Regards,
Luisa

Dear Aedesh, Thank you for your assistance. I did all that you instructed below, regarding uninstalling, and using the Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool. I restarted my computer, then installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (for Windows 7, English and version: Reader DC 2015). I continue to have the problems: (1) When I attempt to use a scroll down option within a pdf form, the program stops working. (2) If I send the pdf to my iPhone, and I open the pdf, I receive the message "Please wait...if the message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your pdf viewer may not be able to display this type of document..." However, when I send pdf's created earlier than 4-28-15, I am able to open in my iPhone.I am able to open on my laptop the pdf's created after 4-28-15, but have the scroll option issue (thank you in advance for your patience)Luisa

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???

Why does the iPad make the same noise when it connects to a charger that doesn't charge it as one that will charge it???
I would expect that it would make an unusual noise if plugged into a generic USB charger that does not have enough oomph to charge a pad to alert you - otherwise, you might think the noise is reassuring that you are actually charging it.

I guess my question was actually more of a comment on the (lack of) design! It is unusual that something like this would still be in an Apple product. There are wall chargers that have a USB port on them that do not have the required oomph to charge the iPad. I have one that has two USB ports, one for my iPhone (it won't charge an iPad), and one for an iPad with greater amperage rating. I accidentally used the wrong ones for a while yesterday, but noticed before being "surprised" the next morning by an uncharged iPad. The iPad is smart enough to say "Not charging" by the battery icon when it is plugges in to one of these, so it "knows" - seems like it would be fairly simply to have the iPad make a different or additional noise wehn it puts up the "Not charging" text icon. Failsafe user experience?

Why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.

why does not ipad show on itunes? when i connected with my macbook using usb, just it is charging electricity.
i don't know why...

Sometimes it can be something very simple and easy to fix. Before you get into any involved troubleshooting, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and then try to sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If this doesn't work, then try the more involved stuff.

Why does my iPad 4 keep shuting off when i enter the mail function?

WHY DOES MY IPAD 4 KEEP SHUTTING DOWN EVERYTIME I TRY TO GO TO MY MAIL?

Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two until it wiggle; tap minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Why does all the apps - default and the ones I downloaded - shut down by themselves repeatedly?

For the past few days, every single one of my apps seems to shut down by themselves, as soon as I try to open them. I can try to open them several times in a go but still the same thing. Even restarted my phone a few times and deleted the background app, which usually works...
Also it doesn't save any of my photos or theres a plain grey 'picture' with 'JPEG' on it. Moreover, on my camera roll, when I tap a photo to enlarge it, none of them focuses, so all them are blurry. I can't seem to send messages either: that said I usually get all my notifications shown on my lock screen, but lately it doesn't show at all.
Another thing, my phone keeps repeatedly buzzing when there is no notification - or email - shown either on the lock screen and/or home screen.
Please help! I'm running out of options what to do!

Your best bet is to back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then reset your device to Factory Settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content & Settings, but do not restore it from the backup. Add your apps back onto your phone one at a time (download them from iTunes in the Cloud by tapping on the App Store icon, then on Updates>Purchased>All, then click on one or two apps and download them and see if the problem persists.
Continue to download apps to see if you start running into the issue again at any point. If you are able to get all the apps downloaded and functioning without any issues, then reset the device back to factory settings, and then restore it from your backup, and see if the issues starts up again.
If it does start up again, then there is something in your backup that is corrupted, and your best bet at that point is to "rebuild" your device from Factory Settings rather than to keep the backup on your device.

Why does my iPad lose the network I'm on when it goes to sleep?

I Just moved in with someone and I have to manually join the network every time I turn my iPad on. Now all of a sudden, every time my iPad goes to sleep it loses the connection all together. I've already tried resetting the network and also location in the settings. Any other ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why does my ipod lose wireless connection

So I bought this iPOD touch 3g, 8GB that was recently "refreshed" from Best Buy (i bought it from a private party after he received it back). After charging it up I downloaded an app that I use to control a sonos music player. Problem is that the iPOD will not stay connected to my network. My wireless is a month old Netgear 802.11a/b/g/n router and all of the laptops in the house connect perfectly. the iPOD touch cuts in and out every minute or two.I went into the settings/general folder and did a network settings reset, but that did not cure the problem.Any suggestions?

this could have countless reasons but it might be your to far from router your router might be haveing electrical problems or your ipod is trying to join to many networks

Why does my Ipad say headphones are connected when they are not?

I do not have sound on my iPad1. When I try to turn up the volum it indicates headphones are connected, but they are not. When I do use headphones they do work. I have rebooted the iPad, reset and restored the iPad and the issue still exists. Is this a straight hardware problem?

iPad has a mechanical switch inside the jack so it knows when the headphones are plugged in.
It may be stuck.
Inspect it to see if something is in there, such as toe jam.
Blow the port out with compressed air.
Try inserting and removing a headphone plug several times.

TS1717 Why does my windows computer play a song in preview and shuts down after 6 seconds?

When I want to preview a song and I click on it, the song play for only 6 seconds and then quits. Does anyone know what is going on. I have Windows 7, 64 bit.

You may have a "play intro" option selected. Also, check in Edit, Prefrences and make sure everything looks okay. I know this probably won't solve your problem but I'm happy to help!
