How do I stop my iPad from blanking out returning to main screen?

How do I stop my iPad from going out and retiring to the main screen?

I just posted this same thing in another thread. Try the first tip and then try the reset. If that doesn't work, then close all apps - the last tip. If none of these work for you, a restore of your device may be in order. Hopefully one of these will work.
Try downloading another app - any free app will do. That seems to reset something and it may work for you. If not, try all of the steps below.
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.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.

How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id? My old ID was deleted by an Apple representative months ago. When I try to "update" my ipad it always references my old apple id which I no longer have a password for..help

How do I stop my ipad from referencing an old apple id? My old Apple ID was my old email address. I contacted Apple and it was deleted by an Apple representative months ago. Whenever I try to "update" my ipad (games etc.) it always references my "old apple id" which I no longer have a password for or have any access too..help

Problem is...I do NOT know the password for this "old" apple id. I haven't used this apple id in over 1 year and it "suddenly" started to show up. I can NOT update or down load any updates without knowing the old apple id's password either. I am getting help. I was able to contact tech support and they are in the process of helping me within an email reply to "reset" my password from that old Apple id, in the next 24 hours.
Thank you all for your help! I hope we are able to resolve this issue. Again, it is very odd that my "old" email or original Apple ID decided to appear after such a long span. I will keep you all posted as to how it was resolved when I hear back via an email.

How do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash?

how do i stop my ipad from automatically deleting my hotmail inbox and putting it into pop trash? It has only started doing it since i synced with my MacBook Air

If emails are being deleted, then it's not the Apple products, it's the POP account. When one device reads an email, it's removed from the server, so the other devices can't get that same email. That's a POP account.

How do i stop my ipad from switching from 3G to Edge?

How do i stop my ipad from switching from 3G to Edge?

The iPad will use whatever the best service that is available - if you are in an area where 3G coverage is patchy (which may be due to reception or the network bandwidth being used up) then it will step down to Edge, and then possibly down to GPRS.

Thanks for trying those steps out!
Rtbeal, I would recommend that you contact AppleCare so they can run further tests and diagnostics to help you solve your solution better.
If you can also access an Apple Store Genius Bar or Apple Authorized Service Center, that would be much better.
Go to https://locate.apple.com/country for further support with your device!

How do I stop my mail from send out my e-mails with the mobile me acct instead of my default provider? I have checked the "use only this server" in my provider account.

How do I stop my mail from send out my e-mails with the mobile me acct instead of my default provider? I have checked the "use only this server" in my provider account.

There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.

How do I stop my iPad from downloading songs from iTunes match?

I wanted to download some songs onto my iPad from my iTunes Match library as I was going to be out for a few days. Three songs in, my router crashed through no fault of my own(someone was messing with the cable company connections without knowing what they were doing, apparently), and now I have 513 songs (most of which I did not choose to download but instead they got mistakenly added to a much smaller playlist...) downloading. I cannot feasibly go through my iTunes Match library and stop download of all 513 songs individually, and for some reason they are not downloading and not stalling out, probably because there are so many of them and my router is back online and so it is trying to download all at once and so slowing down to a standstill???
How do I stop download of all those songs without hard-restarting my iPad?

The iPad will use whatever the best service that is available - if you are in an area where 3G coverage is patchy (which may be due to reception or the network bandwidth being used up) then it will step down to Edge, and then possibly down to GPRS.

How do I stop System Preferences from carrying out an operation?

I was in the middle of deleting a user, saving the disk image in the Deleted Users folder. I deleted the Deleted Users folder and I tried to stop System Preferences from doing the deletion but I couldn't.
The reason why I want to stop the procedure is because it was taking too long. Also the disk image seemed to be taking up too much space. I was worried it would fill up my hard drive. And I don't need the disk image anyway. I just want to delete the user without saving a disk image.
So I tried to stop the process by doing what I did above. But I am afraid it might have hung up System Preferences as I removed the file that it was saving the disk image to. I emptied the trash and the file is no longer there.
What should I do?
When I go to System Preferences, I see this:
Have I made System Preferences frozen in some sort of perpetual loop that it can't save the disk image to the site where it's supposed to save it to and so it can't stop saving?

I think I fixed it. I force-quit System Preferences (I force-quit Disk Utility before I tried this because I thought DU was the one making the disk image) and now System Preferences closes. When I opened it to look at the Users the user that I was trying to delete and save a disk image of is still there. I guess that's expected as I didn't finish the deletion process.
I suppose the next step is to delete that user but choose the third option that comes up, the one that says delete without saving a disk image.

How can I stop my iPad from mixing up the order of photos when I sync from my PC?

Hi-
I have a 1st generation iPad. I have noticed that when I sync photos from my PC (Windows 7) to the iPad (using iTunes) that the pics do not end up in the same order on the iPad that I had them arranged on my PC. Mostly this is not too much of a problem. But recently, I have a batch of photos that really need to be in a particular order. I spent a lot of time on my PC naming them in such a way that they'd STAY in the order I desire. There are about 185 of them, so this took a lot of work! How can I keep them in the order I want when I sync to the iPad?
Thanks for your help-
Betsy

Hi again-
Just as a final follow-up on this topic, I have been able to change the "date taken" property of each photo file without downloading any extra software. In the Windows Explorer, all I have to do is select the file and then I can edit the date in the properties pane at the bottom of the window. Since I have to change each file to a unique date so that I can control their order on the iPad, I have to do this all by hand anyway, so I did not spend much time looking for a software to do it.
Just in case this might help someone else, I thought I'd post it.
