Has anyone had a problem (unstable

Had a problem with my ipad 2 this week end. As soon as i entered my password, my ipad became very unstable and unresponsive as if someone/something took over it. Could this have occured because of the new operating system IOS 5?

Who really knows what causes problems when you download an update. For the overwhelming majority of users, everything goes very well and life goes on.
For the users that experience issues - life can become a bummer - in terms of using your device is concerned.
If the problem went away, I would chalk it up to "update gremlins". If the problem persists, try the basics, restart, reset or restore your device.
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.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
You can worry about restoring later if nothing else that you try seems to work - think positive!

    I had this problem.  I held down the power switch to power down completely.  Takes a few seconds.  Then use the power switch to turn on.  Might take a couple goes.

  • When I try download new os 5.1.0 on my iPhone 4 I get this error message  "stopped (err = -3259)" after it has downloaded.  Has anyone had this problem and if so what is the fix.

    When I try to download iPhone OS 5.1.0 on my PC I get this message "stopped (err = -3259)"and says it timed out at the server after the entire download.  I have tried 3 times, it takes about 8 min. to download the 790.7 MB file.  Has anyone had this problem and what is the fix?

  • Error: Couldn't unmount disk -- when trying to verify/repair external hard drives.  Has anyone had this problem and solved it?

    I have a number of hard drives that my Mac Book Pro no longer 'recognises' at least for very long.  When I turn them on the deskstop icon shows up but then shortly afterwards I get a message saying that it has been unplugged incorrectly.  I haven't unplugged it any of them.  When I try to run very/repair disk before they disappear I get the error in the subject line above.  Has anyone had this problem and if so how did you rectify it?

    The drive is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced, or you have some other hardware fault.
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Keeping your confidential data secure during hardware repair

  • Has anyone had a problem installing PSE Elements 8.

    I have installed PSE Elements 8 from a new boxed CD onto a new Dell running Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).
    PSE has loaded without any warnings and I get to the welcome screen OK. Organiser works fine but if I try and start Edit it just circles around back to the Edit prompt. I have tried getting in via Fix in Organiser which then advises Loading Elements workspace but then drops me back to menu.
    I have tried all the Tech Note suggestions but after hours of trying am still no further forward.
    I even downloaded and installed the trial version but I this performs in the same way.
    All suggestions welcome.  Thanks

    No luck.
    PE Editor does not open with Ctrl/Alt/Shift nothing...zilch
    Running PE Editor from this point using Open produces error message. PE Elements has stopped working - Close Program.
    Thanks anyway.
    Problem has now been escalated to senior tech team within Adobe.

    The only other suggestion is try re-setting the Editor preferences as this often fixes conflicts. You will also be able to check that this part of the application installed correctly.
    Hold down the windows key to the left of Alt and press the letter E to launch Explorer
    In the left side pane click on Computer
    In the right pane double click on Program Files, then double click Adobe, then double click Photoshop Elements 8.0
    Use the right hand  scroll bar to move down the list of files and locate Photoshop Elements Editor With one hand holding down all three keys CtrlShiftAlt right click on the Editor file in the list and select open.
    You should see a pop up box with the words Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way.
    Please let us know if that works.

  • Has anyone had a problem centering labels from microsoft word 2007 using the hp photosmart 7510? my

    Has anyone had a problem with printing labels centered on HP Photosmart 7510 e-All in one?  My labels are printed from Word 2007 and appear on the screen to be centered, however when I print, they are too high on the label.  Also when printing an e-mail the bottom of the page where it lists your email name is cut off.  Please help!!

    Hi,
    I'd been having this problem for probably round 30 years on many printers. I bought a labels printer few years back but I don't print labels everyday now.

  • Has anyone had a problem with depositing a check with the app for Bank of America?

    Has anyone had a problem with depositing a check on a bank app?

    Is the check something like a payroll check where its digitally printed and all in text?, or is it a handwritten check?
    from my experience handwritten checks rarely work, myself and friends have always recieved an error stating the picture was to blurry no matter how many times we took a picture. From what i have read with others who have issues with depositing handwritten checks, some checks are deemed to blurry based on the handwriting, therefore the app wont accept the check, while other handwritten check will be accepted just fine, i hope this resolves your issue's and concerns

  • Has anyone had a problem with MacAce?

    Has anyone had a problem with MacAce?   I normally pay them £8.39 per month for iWeb hosting - but last week my bank account got dented by £8.39 (twice) and then a further £58.80 from nowhere- that's over £65 in unauthorised debits from my bank account.   No explanation - nothing.
    I sent them 2 E-mails - and no response.   I phoned them - and got through to a voice machine ... and still no response.
    Is there anything going on here?  

    Something must have worked - just got an E-mail from MacAce saying they've seen the problem and are arranging a refund.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out torrow.

    Has anyone had a problem with Draft Emails getting sent with Mac OS 10.8.2? It just happened to me and sent a few drafts out to a potential employer I planned on sending out tomorrow.

    Hi, one question & one suggestion...
    What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    I recently updated? to Lion from 10.6.8(snow leopard), and things seem to be running slower.  Has anyone had similar problems?  I have Feb 2011 Macbook pro 13" 2.3 Ghz.

    As Shootist pointed out, the system uses more power.
    However, initially it will reindex the hard drive for spotlight, which will slow things down temporarily.
    It also must rebuild caches that eventually will speed things up.
    If it has completed indexing the hard drive (no dot pulsing in the spyglass), then there might be something wrong.
    Start by booting into the Recovery HD (a partition created with Lion that has Disk Utility and reinstallation options) by holding down cmd-r when you restart. You can let go when the gray screen appears.
    When it boots, select Disk Utility and Repair the drive.
    If that doesn't speed things up, try re-installing the OS from the same Recovery HD. It won't delete any of your files, but it has helped some people whose Macs ran slow after installing Lion.
    Also, how much memory do you have? Lion needs RAM so maxing your Mac out might also help.
