Frequent close down of Ipad

When using my Ipad i often get it closing down on me and displaying the Apple logo on the screen. It returns to funtion only when i switch the Ipad on again with the on switch.
Could someone please inform me how i might get over this problem.

HT204266 My App Store keeps struggling to load up. Requests frequently time out and searches just don't do anything. If it does load up a search, the iPad closes down App Store, returns to home screen and, upon re-opening, the search has been deleted. Hel

I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Re-launch the app and test
Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
- I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
- My outlook express has no problems
- other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
- my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
- every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

My ITunes won't sync my ipad and closes down in the middle. I have Windows 7 Ultimate. How do I fix this problem?

My itunes won't sync my ipad and closes down in the middle of the attempted syn. I have windows 7 ultimate. Any ideas about what to do?

If the steps above do not resolve the issue, attempt to sync with iTunes while logged in as a new admin user. Follow these steps to create a new administrator user within Windows:
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.
Open User Accounts.
Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process.
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu.
Log in to the newly created user account.
If the error does occur in the new user account, the issue may be caused by content downloaded or created on the device, such as podcasts and voice memos. Removing content from the device may address the issue.
If the error does occur in the new user account, the issue may be caused by content downloaded or created on the device, such as podcasts and voice memos. Removing content from the device may address the issue.
If these steps do not work at all, I would suggest calling AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273 (assuming your iPad is stilll within support or has an AppleCare Protection Plan) and let them know you have already tried all troubleshooting steps per TS2830.

A private web screen shows up when I close down apps on my ipad, but I don't want to see that web page EVER. It is a private "incognito" Skype number that I don't want ANYONE to see.

Yeah, I'm 95% sure that I did that after I closed that Skype, so I was a bit shocked when I saw that screen pop up later :/

I updated our iPad a week ago to 8.1 (12B410) and since then most apps will not close down with the 4 fingers swiping in.

I updated our iPad a week ago to 8.1 (12B410) and since then most apps will not close down with the 4 fingers swiping in. The only way to close them down is to hit the middle bottom button twice then swipe upwards. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

This has been happening to me as well with an iPad 3 running iOS 8.1. This is what I do and it works for me. Toggle the setting for Multitasking Gestures off and then on again, Settings>General>Multitasking Gestures>Off. Then toggle it on again.
I have to repeat the sequence from time to time as I have not found a permanent fix. I think that iOS 8 is by far the buggiest iOS release that I have used since I have owned an iOS device.

Don't try to turn the iPad off until you reboot.
On your iPad, Did you try holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears? If you didn't try it, go ahead and do it. Wait until the Apple logo appears on the iPad screen before you let go of the buttons.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps

I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Since dowloading Ios7, my ipad cannot connect to 3G and when I have no wireless or 3G connection, it closes down and reboots every 2 minutes or so. This happened in central Manchester and also on the Virgin Train from Man. to London. Totally unusable.

Since downloading IOS 702 I cannot access 3G. Also when I have no access to wireless connection my ipad closes down and reboots every couple of minutes. I was trying to raed a book on a train from Manchester to Euston and had to give up. I found that auto-lock had defaulted to 2 minutes. I changed it to never but it made no difference.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

I have just updated my iPad and now cannot access any apps as they just close down straight away. Any ideas why and how to solve?

Have you tried 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.
I've also seen it suggested that people try downloading a free app from the store onto the iPad (as that seems to reset something), and then re-try the apps - the free app can then be deleted.

Frequent shut down on Facebook app using iPad?? 5.1.1

Frequent shut down while on Facebook, posting comments and more frequent while upload pictures, reviewing pictures or watching streaming videos... Does anyone knows why, since I can't get any Apple support, they all moved to MARS??

This was/is a common occurrence with the older Facebook app running in iOS 5. The new app running in iOS 6 crashes rarely.
When Facebook does quit don't restart it immediately. Actually quit the app first like this. Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

My smart cover isn't shutting down the iPad 2 when I close it.

My iPad is not locking when I shut the smart cover

I have checked my settings and they are as you suggest - the cover lock is set to "On". However, it still does not consistently shut down the iPad 2 and sometimes I find that it has been on all night and drained the battery. How sensitive is the cover to movement - does it change settings when it is in a briefcase and being jostled around a bit for example?

Last night I had to do a hard close on my IPAD because it had froze up. All that is happening now is a small circle that keeps revovlving in the middle of the pad. This has been going on for some time. Help.

Last night I had to do a hard close on my IPAD. All that is happening, even this morning, is a revolving circle in the middle of my IPAD. What can I do?

I'm not quite sure what you mean about a hard close but if you haven't done this - try it. Hold down on the sleep and the home button at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if it restarts now.
