A FaceTime call on iPad 3rd gen reboot the device

Not happens in every call but perhaps in a 4/10 calls proportion.
I've Ipad 3rd gen, with latest iOS in it. I often receive and made calls from my family (almost 1 call a day) and I can test the behaviour in a great detail.
The crash makes the iPad reboot. Not any other flaw. This only happen in FaceTime and not in all calls. But it leads to confusion and honestly: We don't pay a 600 bucks device that can't handle a videoconference call.
This must be solved...fast. Or people (like me) will move to other solutions (skype, g+ hangouts...etc)

Thanks for the info, however the correct url is:

Ipad 3rd Gen exchanged for 4th Gen for very recent customers

I bought my Ipad 3rd gen on the 27th Sep, and I have been hearing stories that people who are within 30 days of purchasing the 3rd Gen can get it exchanged for the 4th Generation. Has someone here actually got it done?

Some have said so. Your best bet is to call your local apple store and talk to them and see what they'll do for you. The 30 day exchange seems to not be a 'company wide widely announced' thing, rather a store by store basis.
Also, people that bought their iPad from corporate stores seem to have different experiences than those that buy them from authorized outlets, which often have different return policies.

I can't turn on my ipad 3rd gen after upgrading to ios 7.0.2

my ipad 3rd gen run good using ios 6.XX then last sept i just found an update from my ipad and tries to update with good connection of internet. after upgrading it restarts and a few minutes of using with FB it reboot it self and i can't even turn-it-on, the following day i tried to turn it on but i experince a blue blinking screen for 20 to 30seconds then shut it self. i was scared so i haven't done anything to my ipad. i went to an authorized service provider "Power Mac" @ Festival Mall Alabang Muntinlupa City, Philippines to see if they can do anything about my ipad. but then, after 2-3days of wait thing, the service provider email me that the problem is on display hardware. they are not authorized to open a non-screw unit of an apple so they emailed me that is stated below. i try to set an apointmet call from apple singapore support/customer service but the day and time passed-by apple singapore doesn't call.. why do i have to pay for the said amount if i haven't done wrong to my unit? is it a customer's fault that i found and try its' recomendation to upgrade its' ios?

Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes. Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store. Nothing works. This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

Safari issues, iPad 3rd gen iOS 5,1,1

Right, I bought an iPad 3rd gen and I've been having to reset it 2-3 times daily because of this issue.
When generally surfing the web, doesnt matter what sites it seems, safari just decides.
I'm not going to load the link you just clicked on :P
The site address changes, a small portion of the progress bar turns blue and nothing. It just freezes.
Nothing I've tried (clearing all caches etc) makes any difference, except a reset. Quite annoying.
I had no such issues on my iPad 2.
This issue doesnt appear to be limited to safari though. I've had problems with lovefilm and my speed test app as well so I'm guessing its a general wifi problem.
After safari froze I decided to check the speed of my connection. It didn't come back with a ping, I waited 10 mins still nothing.
At the same time my iPhone (4s) with the same app came back with a ping of 30ms and d/l speed of 15MB/s.
I'm now confused as to whether this is a software or hardware issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Swingflaps-
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

IPad (3rd Gen) charging

For starters, love my new iPad 3rd gen (I guess that's what we're calling it now?), received yeserday. Retina display is noticably different, camera even looks bigger, and I can feel the extra thickness, though not a problem. Also love the dictation. Smart Cover works great. Here's the issue: iPad is not taking a charge, at all.
Details:
Charging icon does appear
Used the 10W power adapter that was included
Display was off, smart cover was attached
Went to bed with iPad at 9%, woke up and said 9%
What I've tried:
Different outlets
Different USB cables
Different 10W power adapters
With and without the extention cord for the power adapter
I'm pretty sure it's an iPad issue, and am booking a Genius Bar appointment today. I'm thinking the only solution is a replacement. If anyone has a suggestion before I'm off, or would like to let us know if you're having the same problem, all comments are welcome
Now on a happier note, love the new iOS 5.1!
The camera shortcut is convenient. I don't really speak Japanese, but sometimes set Siri to that just for fun on my 4S. I like seeing the 4G icon, even though it's nothing new. Best yet, the battery on my iPhone 3GS is a huge improvement! Would maybe last 2 days in standby, now it's been 2 days and 60% battery remains!!

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Unable to use iCloud Backup on iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1

Hi, I have been unable to use iCloud Backup for several weeks on both my iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.1 & my iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
iCloud Backup is set to On on both devices. It did backup once or twice, since I installed the iOS 6.0.1, then it stopped working altogether.
I hope someone can help me.

I know. In my post I said ....
"remove the all day event or change the event from all day - in whatever application on your computer that you sync the calendar from and them sync again to remove the event from the iPad calendar."
You will need to do this from your computer. If you do not use your computer to sync with iTunes, you will not be able to get around this.
However, I should have asked of this only happens when you are trying to view events in March, so maybe I misled you. I apologize. Try this now. Quit the calendar app completely in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. 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.

Can Apple offer cheap upgrade plans to people who bought iPad 3rd Gen within 3 months to upgrade their device to the 4th gen?!

I decided to get iPad 3rd gen because my iPad 2 wasn't working so well after using it for 1+ year and I really need iPads for work. I got it not more than 2 months ago. I felt being cheated. Although Apple didn't promise the one year thing, but 7 months is just too ridiculous. .
I know it is impossible to ask Apple to replace our 3rd gen with 4th gen, but if they offer some upgrade plans, I would be more comfortable with this. If so, I hope that they wouldn't charge more than USD $150 to upgrade.
Trading in old devices is important to me because I have no income as a student but I just have to get newer devices to make sure they have a higher performance. Dissolving the iPad 3rd gen is not a good idea since the resell value will decrease instantly.
Other than that, my iPad is a bit laggy comparing to what I felt when it was on iOS 5, they shouldn't make a new device to solve this problem, they should improve their software
In the incident, Apple is just being irresponsible to long term supporters like me, I hope that they will provide us satisfying solutions.

You can check macrumors, there were rumors and they were pretty much squashed the begininng of October, so waiting a month, sure. Usually mac is transpereant enough that its knwn 3-4 months ahead of time that a refresh is coming, I site the release of th Ipad 2 gen i was getting for my daughter, we waited until her bday and got it in March at launch. Not this time. This was a curve ball, ezpecially 4 months ago when I bought mine. I have called Apple everyday, wil call again today to vent frustration, and I am noticing some slowed response on my ipad 3 and would assume why the fast refresh, i have been asking for a path to upgrade for $100 with a well tken care of ipad 3, under apple care etc. Don't know if I will get it, but wont get it for sure if I dont ask. I already was issued a $100 credit on another purchase, which I may be using soon.

HT204291 I updated my apple tv to the latest firmware. I seem to have lost the ability to mirror my ipad 3rd gen. Can anybody help

I bought an apple tv for its ability to mirror any of the content on my new ipad 3rd gen. Now after updating my apple tv i seem to have lost the ability to mirror my tablet onto the screen. Can somebody help with this. I have tried to do everything. I made sure both my apple tv and my ipad are connected to the same network. I also made shure my bluetooth was off. I can still airplay with my brothers iphone 4s. ( ios5.1) but i cannot do the same with my tablet.

To U2SockMonkey,
You must be a newbie, because otherwise you would have fixed it. I don't have that mirroring problem and it must be because you are not looking around and inform yourself thoroughly. It took me also 2 days of grief before I found out how to do it. Not even to mention that the Apple Engineer that I called did not have a solution either and just suggested that I should send my Apple TV back or go to a Apple Store nearby.
I was pretty annoyed about that such a little black box was giving me grief. I have been working in the IT industry for over 30 years and I know quite a bit inside out about many hardware's. But my opinion is that sending out Version 6.0 Aka 5.1 as you rightfully say is not on with me.
This is the same behaviour that Apple now does as Microsoft forever is doing. Not finishing the products and putting it on the market or release it before it is finished and has bugs in it.
Personally this irks me and annoys me. Because I am in that field for many years and have seen what grief it causes. I have noticed that an Administrator has removed another post that I made about other matters concerning iPads and especially with iPad 3 and 4 now and that there are also other people who make inflamatory remarks to people ( Julian Wright for e.g.) about how they have to spend their money for the latest stuff of Apple and come over very aggressive, selfish, if not evil.
For your information, I used to work for Apple, I know Apple inside and how they work and what they used to do ? They were really nice for their employees and customers. But I think that has changed now for whatever reason they have. Very disappointing. It's up to Apple not to listen, I have no control of that, but it will cost them at some point.
Besides that point, I feel that some people are been taken for a ride and when I am expressing that this is not OK I should be rewarded for that instead of being rejected.

IPad 3rd. gen blinking screen

One week ago, I was using ipad 3rd. gen model A1430 and the screen started blinking and suddenly became black.
I turned off and reseted the device.
But since then, it keeps doing the same thing, and sometimes it takes me a long time to turn on.
Any thought?
I don't have Applecare protection.
One more question: Would Apple accept this iPad as part of payment for a new one?
Thank you
Joao Ferreira

Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data You may need to do this more than once. Bsydd uk

Morning all,
used my iPad 3rd Gen 3G (running iOS 6 GM Seed) happily yesterday night, loaded the battery overnight, and now, on 01 Oct 06:00 AM GMT i have it locked down, saying it needs activation. Proceeding through the mandatory steps ends up with a "activation servers unavailable" message (internet connectivity is fine). I retried it now for about an hour. The iPad is now unusable , rebooted it / hooked up to my Mac / iTunes etc - won't help.
Anyone else seeing this?
thanks

IPad 3rd gen crash and power off issue

I have ipad 3rd gen iOS 7.1. In the past few hours when using internet(safari or chrome), Netflix, and games some weird things happen.
1. Screen goes black for a few second then returns to lock screen. And/or
2. 'Slide to power off' appears at top of screen along with an X to cancel at bottom of screen and/or
3. Continually get pop up to login to itunes.
All of these things have occurred independently of one another and sometimes they all occur within a matter of seconds.
I have tried: rebooting, logging in to itunes when it think I am not logged in, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, resetting itunes password, and now reading forums.
Suggestions? Feedback? Solutions? Anything would be a great help right now. Thanks!

You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
Then try a reset:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

I keep getting the iCloud sign in pop up even after I put in my password. I tried turning off iCloud and it won't let me. I have the IPad 3rd gen. Can anyone help?? I did change my password and it's still happening!. Thanks :)

thanks

I am having same issue on my iPhone 5s. Whenever i am trying login to iCloud from my device setting it's asking for apple id password & every time showing incorrect password verification failed but in fact the password is correct.
When trying to restore my iPhone from my PC iTunes backup it's asking to turn off Find my iPhone from the device iCloud setting. When i am going to turn it off from device iCloud setting it's asking for apple id password then a notification showing "verification failed, the connection to iCloud timed out.
