I cannot open settings on my Ipad.
I enabled a passcode on my Ipad today and now when I try to open settings it just shows a gray screen then closes. Will I have to restore the Ipad?
Try closing the Settings app/icon completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with Settings 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of Settings to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try 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 cannot open GarageBand on my iPad gen 1. The GB icon stay darkened (shaded) and is labeled 'pause' or 'waiting'. My iOS 5.1.1 GarageBand ver. 1.2.1. Sometimes a dialog box appears and reads, "unable to complete download" and "consider freeing up space, go to settings." Problem is I'm not tying to download GarageBand upgrade because it requires iOS 6 or higher. Does Apple have. Archive sites with older versions of GarageBand?
No, it will still stay as IOS 7.0.4

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I have two current newspaper subscriptions, one of which I cannot open although it is showing in the library. This has only happened since I upgraded to i07
Could this be significant.I had a similar situation with my Macbook Pro and just had success taking a little twig and cleaning out the inside of the magsafe port, especially in the corners. (I didn't mess with the pins.) The port didn't look especially dirty beforehand—just a little buildup—but I could tell a little difference visually after I "swabbed" out any sign of gunk.
In case anybody else is interested in the unorthodox method, I used a tiny twig with the end broken off so it was soft with the exposed wood fiber. After rubbing a little, it compressed noticeably so I broke off the end again so that it was frayed a little and could get into the corners. A toothpick would probably work similarly.
FYI, before I cleaned it out, the top charge status icon *would* show that it was plugged in but it wouldn't charge. There was no light on the magsafe plug. I had unplugged/replugged the socket and had re-situated the magsafe several times. -

I cannot open settings menu from my ipad
I have an apple pad, its settings icon is not working properly,
It is hangedClose the app completely and reset your iPad.
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, 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.
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. -
I cannot open safari on my iPad or mini iPad
It still works on phone and Mac, but not on Ipad or Mini Ipad. Not sure if Apple update or new update on present app's caused it.
Hello mecate100,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. If apps are crashing upon opening, try to close out apps that
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
If that does not work, the next step would be to Reset All Settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If it still does not work, then try Erase All Content and Settings. Be sure that you are backed up before you go that far. That process is going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

Cannot open pages attachment on iPad
It would appear that since I upgraded the iOS on my iPad (to version 8.1) I cannot read a Pages document on my iPad. I do not use the iCloud for now. I will send myself a recipe for example from my MacBook to my iPad. The file comes through as an attachment but when I attempt to open it, I get the following: "Baked Apple Chicken.pages Pages document 293KB" nice and centred on the screen. Numbers file attachments work fine.
Not really sure if it's the source of the problem but updates are available for Pages on both iOS and OSX, the current iOS version is 2.1.
I'd update and try again. -
I cannot open PDF files in IPad email attachments.
Will I pad open PDF files? I get nothing when clicking on the document, but have read the iPad 2 will open PDFs without a 3rd party app. Please help.
If they don't have digital rights management on them then you should be able to open them. If they are large PDFs you may have to wait a little while for them to finish downloading.
If they still don't open then you could try closing the Mail app completely and then re-open and see if you can then open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Another option is 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 have an iPad two running iOS 8.2, with pages 2.5.2
Late 2012 21.5 inch iMac running Yosemite, with Pages 5.5.2
Yesterday,following directions in iMac Magazine on my iPad I turned on iCloud for Pages.
My documents disappeared from my iPad. After finding out how to locate them in iCloud I am unable to open them to edit or even read them for that matter.
What am I doing wrong.
Can I get my documents back on my iPad?Thanks. That was indeed the problem. A few hints for others with this problem. You can only find out that you need to upgrade, and upgrade, by cabling your iPad to your computer. Then the next Tricky part is making sure you have your iPad purchases saved on your computer. Then you download the new OS upgrade and you will get a "start up" type of screen on your iPad with a few questions. Nowhere is there a very good explanation that you want to then go back to your computer and restore your iPad. I finally did that because there were no other obvious alternatives, though all the warnings made me very nervous. After the restore command, I synched my iPad and I seem to have everything back, and I can now access iCloud. maybe I missed some instructions somewhere, but I found this process much more obscure than the usual Apple directions. Thanks for your help!

I cannot open Keynote in iPhone/iPad iOS 7
After updating to iOS 7 and iWork for iOS, I'm no loger able to use iWork when iCloud is turned on.
I've two apple accounts, one for Mexico store and another one for US store. A couple of yeard ago I purchased Numbers for iphone/ipad using MX account, and Keynote and Pages for iphone/ipad using my US account.
Before updating to iOS 7, I was able to use iCloud for keynote, numbers and pages without any problem. All my documents were backed up on the MX account in iCloud. My iphone/ipad was logged into iCloud using my MX account all the time.
After updating to iOS 7, I keep using my MX account for iCloud, but I'm no longer to open Keynote and Pages (which were purchased with my US account) when iCloud is activated for them.
What's going wrong with apple?! I think iOS 7 is very buggy and it is the worst OS they have ever make available for users!!! Can't believe the amount of errors I keep finding in most of Apple apps!!!
Please advice! Regards,This is the discussion for Keynote for Mac.

Cannot open my photos on iPad 2 in iphotos.
I have an iPad 2. I have thousands of photos in my library but cannot access them. It keeps on rebuilding library. It finishes and then starts all over agin when I press the iPhoto icon. I have tried restoring. Most concerned to lose my photos...suggestions?
First thing I would try is a full quit of iPhoto.
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 iPhoto for iOS 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 iPhoto for iOS and see if it works normally.
if that didn't work, you might have too many photos for iPhoto for iOS to efficiently deal with or you might have a corrupt photo somewhere.
I suggest you make sure you have a copy of all your photos on your computer. Then go through a sync process and remove all your photos from your iPad. Replace them one or two albums at a time, trying iphoto for ios after each addition, until you can determine which album has the photo that is causing the problem.
If you can't find a problem photo you will eventually determine how many photos iPhoto for iOS can effectively work with.
