Frozen icons on iPad

Somehow I've locked the icons on my ipad. The background is black rather than the waterbubbles and when I tap icons they won't open.It appears I have accidently frozen the applications. I can't even turn it off.

Force close apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

I just had the same problem. Took the first unit back and the problem is still occuring on the second one. I solved it by setting up again with the USB, but it keeps dropping out every few days.

I have frozen screen on ipad mini

got frozen screen on ipad mini

How did this happen? Was it due to misentry of a passcode, or something else.
If another cause than the passcode, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Hi ckreske,
I would try forcing the app to quit as described in this article:

You can also try restarting your phone:

How to Retrieve YouTube default icon from iPad?

Hello iPad users.. would you like to lend some help on how you can retrieve the YouTube default icon from iPad? I no longer see it in my homescreen which I was wondering why... I would like to retrieve it. I did go to the App store to find it but the YouTube app from Google is very small and when you push 2x its pixelated.
The YouTube app coming from iPad which was installed right before you buy it was the one I am looking for and I can't seem to find it.. Please I need your help and thanks so much for any assistance you can give..
Blessings..
PS I have the iPad 3 version

iOS 6 no longer has the native YouTube app. All there is (for now) is the iPhone version that you found. Supposedly Google is working on an iPad version of this app.

Try closing the Camera app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

Can't see the airplay icon on iPad 3

Can't see the airplay icon on iPad 3 and tried all options on here but still won't appear. Any suggestions.

Hello there Phillip,
If sounds like you updated to iOS 8.1.3 and now do not see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center. I would run through the troubleshooting and setup verification. It should get that rectified for you:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Lost iCloud icon on iPad

Can't find iCloud icon on iPad. Can I re download app?

You don't get a separate iCloud icon on the iPad, if an app that you want to re-download is still in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
Similarly you may be able to re-download music, films and tv shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
There is also a Settings > iCloud option if your iPad is on iOS 5+

How do you remove the Messages icon from iPad.

How can I remove the Messages icon from iPad.

The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted. You can move it into a folder and place the folder on another screen if you don't want to use the app or see the icon.
Tap and hold down on the icon until it begins wiggling and then drag the wiggling icon on top of another icon - any other app that you do not want to use would be ideal - and that will create a folder. Name the folder whatever you like. Tap anywhere outside of the folder to close it.
While the folder and icons are still wiggling - drag the folder over to the edge of the screen - about halfway over - and just hold it there for a second or so and it will jump over to the next screen. When you are done - Tap the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.

Excel on imac - have trashed/deleted workbooks via finer but the frozen icon still appears on excel homepage. Can't get it off the page even though information comes up that it is in trash, and trash has been emptied. Grandma is screaming!

Excel on imac. Have deleted/trashed workbooks from Finder and they have disappeared from the finder listing but the frozen icon remains on the Excel Workbook Gallery Under my Recent Workbooks. Clicking on the empty icon which is still titled shows that they are in trash but I can't get rid of the icon which is a waste of space as well as annoying. Help - Grandma is screaming!

HT1311 How to download AppStore icon on iPad as it has been deleted by mistake on IPad?

Hello,
How can we download the AppStore icon on IPad as it has been deleted by mistake and we do not know how to retrieve it?
Thanks

It can't be deleted. Either it's been moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder, in which case doing a search for it or resetting the home screen layout (Settings -> General -> Reset) should bring it back, or the option to install apps has been turned off in Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
Regards.

Anyone else lost the Airdrop icon on iPad Mini?

When I first installed iOS7 I had the Airdrop icon for a couple of hours but then it dissappeared. If I reboot the device (iPad mini ... should support Airdrop) and go directly to Control Center I can see it for a second, but then it quickly fades away and I can't get it to appear again until I reboot the device again.
Any ideas?

iOS 7.0.3 installed and there is a small difference from before; now the Airdrop symbol doesn't appear at all, not even immediately after reboot
Well, I guess something is wrong with the hardware
Thx anyway, pdroth, for trying.

Can't see app icons on ipad after sync, although apps are there through search

had to upgrade my ipad s/w last night. but the ipad restored itself for some reason without me asking it to. Then when I synched all apps etc back on, the new apps don't appear as icons, but is on the ipad as I can find them through search. How can I get the icons to appear? It's never happened before and I've rebooted and checked setting restrictions etc.

I had the same problem but looking at what everyone else said, I simpley slowly started to click on all the tabs in the app store, let them load completely, and then clicked back to the updates afterwards. It worked after a little while
