  • IPad mini acting strange. Apps open and close randomly. Any ideas?

    My iPad mini acts strange. Apps will randomly open and close and I have no control over it. I have reset it to factory and started all over but it is still doing it. Any ideas on what I should do?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • My ipad has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?

    My Ipad 1 has a black screen and won't start, any ideas?  It is charged.

    If Paul's advice doesn't work try this.
    Hold down on the sleep button AND the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    BTW ...In order to start up under normal circumstances you only need to hold down on the sleep button for a couple of seconds or so until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • My ipad(2) is plugged into my pc but won't charge-any ideas?

    my ipad2 is plugged in but won't charge-any ideas--only 2 weeks old

    Your PCs USB port is probably not capable of providing enough power to charge your iPad. It might be charging at a very slow rate and when your iPad is in sleep mode. Use the adapter provided with your iPad.

  • My iPad mini is stuck in reboot mode and won't connect to itunes

    My iPad mini shut down in the middle of me using an application and now is stuck in the reboot mode between the Apple logo and the wheel of death.  I have tried to do the hard reboot many times and it just continues to circle around in the reboot loop.  I tried to do the "volume up" trick as well that worked for some people and have had no luck.
    I plugged in the iPad to see if I can just do a factory restore via iTunes and as soon as my iTunes recognizes the device is plugged in, it then asks me to "Please respond on your iPad" yet I cannot see anything on the iPad so it won't even allow me to do a factory restore.
    Is there anything I can do to just reset the whole iPad and start from scratch?  I don't know what app or program did this to it but now I'm stuck without any means to use it or even reset it! 
    Thank you!

    thanks for the reply, brian, but unfortunately that is what i meant by the hard reboot.  i've done that many, many times and it's still stuck.  nothing is helping and i can't even get it to sync to iTunes to restore it.

  • Ipad mini 'headphones' sign permanently on in middle of screen.  Any ideas?

    This sign is permanently on, even when no headphones in mini ipad.  Any ideas?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

  • Just updated my 3GS to the IOS 6 and now I'm locked out and it wont accept my former password, help!

    I updated it and now I can't even get into the phone. I tried my old password, my password that I had before that, and common factory passwords but it won't accept any of them. I don't know what to do.

    Nevermind, I figured it out. My case was interfering with me entering in the password.

  • IPhoto says it's on a "locked disc" and won't allow any access except.....

    I have created four accounts on my Mac Book Pro 15". I have given all four administrator status.
    iPhoto works great on the first account/the owner account. But on all the other accounts, it says it is "on a locked disc" and there is "no access" to any of the other 3 accounts on my laptop.
    I have repaired all permissions and still "no access" persists.
    Any suggestions? I have no parental controls in place that I know of. I am 64 and alone, no one on this laptop but me. So what can I tweak and where, and how. Speak as tho to a five year old because the whole Mac language/word and initial definitions are all new to me within the past 2 months. I am learning a whole new language, as well as a whole new operating system.

    Hi Jene,
    That's weird. I wonder why they struck it out. It seems a quite accurate statement to me!
    You gave very clear and easily understandable instructions that are perfect!
    Except that I have already done that and more, and still only the first account on this laptop is able to gain any access at all to iPhoto.
    So now, I am opening each of the folders contained in the application and "getting info" on each of them in turn, and changing permissions for all (except the infamous 'other' who we know is "root". I'm leaving that as it is.).
    And I am also trying shifting the "owner" in each folder from the first user's name to "system".
    When I log back in under the second user name we'll see if that has made the desired difference!
    Thanks for your help, Jene!

  • Lightroom keeps crashing now the library is corrupt and cannot be used - any idea why?

    Lightroom is shutting itself down almost every 20 minutes. I have re-opened it and kept working then it happens again. I have re-started the PC and that helps but their seems to be something wrong. Have around 4000 photos in folders and then sub-folders. Any ideas? Have a two day old back-up that I can start using again on though I would love a way to restore / repair the corrupt version, which is held in a "CorruptDBs" folder.
    Have been using Lightroom on a laptop for months without issue, now I have it on new PC, and this problem arises though only since the large number of images were imported (approx 4000).
    Any suggestions welcome

    I can't say why LR is crashing off hand, but I may be able to help out with the corrupt database:

  • Why iPad mini retina smart unlock/lock function not working when I using 3rd party cover with magnetic

    I recently bought a leather case from store with smArt unlock/lock function with magnetic. I try to use it on my iPad mini retina when I try to close and open it doesn't work. I already on my smart unlock function inside setting. May I know where is the magnetic area  of iPad mini retina ?

    The "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled by installing a compatible Smart Cover/Case (or third-party equivalent) with an embedded magnet in the correct position in the cover. Are you using a real Apple product? If not, the cover/case you are using may not have the magnet in the right place or may not even have one at all.
    If you ARE using a real Apple Smart Cover/Case and you have an Apple Store nearby, have them check both the case and cover you are using. You may have a bad magnectic switch on the iPad or a faulty cover/case.
    I also remember reading here of a Smart Case/Cover which had the magnet installed upside-down and was repelling rather than attracting. You might want to take the cover off and flip it to verify this...you'll have to slide the cover around in different positions on the right-hand bezel on the iPad to see if you can activate the magnet.
