Brand new New IPad freezes all the time, on everything

I bought a New IPad a little over a month ago, to replace an aged laptop for my wife. Unfortunately the New IPad freezes all the time, about every five minutes, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. It freezes on pretty much everything, Safari, Chrome, even app store. I've tried reset, upgrading to IOS 6, pretty much everything I know off. I checked message usage, which is low, and I constantly make sure there isn't many apps running. But nothing helps. To me it's really a piece of crap. Very very frustrating.
My observation, although not very conclusive, is that everytime it freezes, it's in the middle of network activity.
Once it freezes, home button doesn't work at all, so no way to switch app, or kill an app.
Has anyone experienced the same? it's more likely a hardware issue, such as memory chip problem?
Any idea or suggestion to help, I'll appreciate.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Can not see my Airport in the list of Wifi networks and is blinking organge all the time

Can not see my airport on the list of WiFi networks and is blinking orange all the time. Tried to reset several times.

Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access.

My original iPad is very slow and drops the signal to websites and videos all the time now. Does it have a virus or extra junk on it to cause this or is it just so old it can not handle the extra stuff on websites these days??

My original iPad is slow and drops web pages and videos all the time now. Is the software just too old to handle the technology changes on the websites and video or is it a virus or junk in the iPad causing this? I have plenty or storage left on the iPad like 18GB. Sure would like to know. Maybe it is just too old to handle things now?

IIf you are running iOS 6.1.2, you could not be using the original iPad. No matter which iPad and what version, try these basic troubleshooting steeps and see if it helps with the performance.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data. Then close all apps.
In order to close apps in iOS 5 or iOS 6, first tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
In order to close apps in iOS 7 or 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Now reset your iPad. 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

WIFI connects then disconnects does this all the time

Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

My iPad freezes all the time now with ios8

Since upgrading to IOS8 after almost every action or log in I have to shut the iPad off before I canse it again.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7 and wifi drops all the time.

Please help. At work we have netgear and tplink. Since I updated my mini iPad and iPhone 4S with ios 7wifi drops all the time. What is the problem?

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

The problem would seem to be in the firewall in your router. Have you tried disabling it? I assume you've updated the router firmware, right? Consider bypassing the ISP provided router (using it as a modem only) and unsing another device such as an Aiport Express.

HT4914 If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it??

If my phone's memory is full, mostly due to music, how can I make it to where my IPad holds all the music and remove all of it from my phone without losing any of it? I recently got an iPad so I now use that as my main source as opposed to my Dell. Yes, I have a Dell that failed me. Miserably.

Sync your music from your computer to your iPad. Then delete the music from your iPhone.

I just purchased an Novella MiFi ~ I have an Ipad 2 wifi only. My ipad will recognize the device, but when I try to connect, is says I am not connected. Suggestion?

Getting connected to a mifi the first time was goofy for me as well. The message you are getting means you have not satisfied the security on the my yet.
On mine, when I set it up, I had to declare a password. But it never recognized that password for connecting devices. Turns out the password was only used for changing system settings. When connecting a device what it really wanted was the device code, similar to a router key- not your password. So look through the paperwork and find the key, and try that.
I think you mean novatel, who make a number of mifi units.

My iPad 2 changes wifi network from home router to wifi audio all the time, how do i stop this?

This happens all the time and I dont use the audio all that much. Yes i can disable the audio but synching it back aagin is not an easy process.
I thought the iPad stayed on the same network and last used network, my iPad cahnges in the middle of say reading the local news paper.

Try rebooting your iPad.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
