Try toggling Settings > iCould > Contacts off and on and see if it then works.
If it doesn't then try closing Settings completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Settings '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 Settings app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is 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 closes apps and returns to the main page

    This has just started in tha last two weeks.  it's really bad in mail when I get half way through a email message to send out the app closes and returns to the main page. It does'nt save a draft at that point either?

    Lots of things can be causing this but I'll cover two of the more frequent causes. Let's start by having you restart your device: hold the power button in the top right until the red slider appears. Slide it to the left and let it power off. When the screen is black, wait approximately 5 seconds, then hold the power button on.
    When the machine boots up, your apps will have closed freeing up lots of memory; alternatively, you can force close apps, by double clicking the Home button and holding your finger on an App until the minus signs appear; click the minus sign. If your apps were quitting due to lack of memory, this will have fixed the issue.
    However, if the issue is still occuring, my next bet would be a failed update (iOS, App, etc). If you have a recent backup, Restore to that backup, otherwise you'll be doing a factory restore (or restoring like new). You can find directions on how to do both below:
    How to Restore from Backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Reset as New: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    I wouldn't recommend backing it up at this point as its likely corrupt.

  • TS1717 My iTunes for my iPad is freezing or goes back to main screen

    Have you tried each of these?

  • Why does my ipad suddenly leave the app I am using and go back to the main screen

    When I am using apps on my ipad it suddenly leaves the app and reverts to the main screen, does anyone know why this happens?? Is it a problem with the ipad?? Doesn't happen with any particular app, seems to affect all apps. And it doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes, very annoying. Any ideas as to what could be going on

    This is typically a memory issue - meaning, you have too many apps running. You don't mention your device and iOS version so it's difficult to say. Try this...
    Double click the Home button and close all open apps.
    Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My iPad 1 is turning off an app and going back to the main screen at odd times.  I've already updated it... to no avail.  Do I need to reset it to factory defaults and reload everything?

    It turns off many apps at random times. 
    Plus, it won't let me go to the next level of Plants and Zombies!  I've played the same level about 15 times... it goes all the way through the level and then cuts out when it is giving me extra points for my lawn mowers.  Then it goes to the main screen... then when I go back into the game... I'm at the beginning of the level all over again! 
    No fun!

    I'm unsure what you mean but "factory reset" but first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • What do you do when during watching trailers it goes to the main page on your iPad mini?

    When I'm using the iMovie app while watching a trailer that I made ever since I put in the Zaggkeys ini 9 keyboard, it goes to the main screen during a trailer. Please help! I use a iPad mini and the version of the iMovie app is 1.4 (587).

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. After the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

  • Moving apps onto the main screens

    I have too many apps to appear on the main screens and have now deleted some from the main screens. How do I move the apps onto the main screen? My iPhone is not Synced with iTunes for apps, so when I sync it, all apps are deleted. I can obviously access them through Spotlight but want to access them from the main screens.

    I'm assuming you mean that you installed more apps than can fit on the 11 home screen pages, and the overflow apps are only findable with iPhone Search.
    1. Delete some apps as you have done.
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    My iPhone is not Synced with iTunes for apps, so when I sync it, all apps are deleted.
    1. Be sure you've authorized your computer in iTunes to the iTunes store account you used to purchase apps.
    2. After connecting your phone to iTunes, and before syncing (disable automatic syncing), right-click your device and select "Transfer Purchases."
    3. You might want to do this before deleting apps from the phone so that you won't have to re-download them from the App Store.

    Sorry for double post, doesnt seem to be an edit option, this also works both ways.

  • IPad won't display my Gmail contacts in the Contacts app that comes with the IPad.

    I have never been able to get my Gmail contacts imported into the Contacts app that comes with the IPad.

    If you can be more specific about what you have tried, someone might be able to offer other solutions.
    I sync my contacts and calendar with Gmail too. I don't use iCloud for syncing contacts. I have set it up as an exchange account. That works on both my ipad and iphone. Any changes made to either is reflected on the other.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add new account>Microsoft Exchange. Leave out the domain name. The server when asked is m.google.com. Turn on contacts (and calendar or mail if you use them) and that's it.
    If that does not work, perhaps you can describe what issue you are having.

  • My Ipad 2 was working fine, after  syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works, but if you go to the mail settings they the settings freeze. I can't send Emails. I am using outlook, anybody has an answer?

    My Ipad 2 was working fine, after syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works fine but if you go to the mail settings the entitre settings freezes. I am usng Outlook but can't send mails.  Any body has a solution?

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.
    Bob

  • Angry birds rio quit working on my ipad.  When I try to start the game, it shuts down completely and goes to the main menu screen.  This started when I downloaded the latest app.  The other angry bird games still work.  I really need help.

    Angry birds rio quit working when I installed the latest app.  I even uninstalled it and started over.  When I try to start the game, it goes back to the main menu.  I need help badly but in simplest of terms so I'll be able to follow.

    Have you tried closing the app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Angry Birds '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 Angry Birds app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. How to get rid of this problem? Iregularly travel from the Netherlands to France.

    Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. Not in France, because my bank account number is Dutch (it says), not in the Nteherlands because I should buy in the Dutch app stoe.
    How to get rid of this problem? I regularly travel from the Netherlands to France.

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.
