IPad 1 returns to home page within 2 seconds of trying to open certain apps

Hi, we are having trouble with our iPad 1 'dropping out' after 1 or 2 seconds when trying to access certain apps.  I thought it might have had something to do with those that required access to internet as it was first noticed on Mail and Facebook as well as safari, however we cannot even access our settings page as it drops out almost immediately.  It did this once before a couple of weeks ago, but came right by itself after about a half a day and playing some of the apps that did come up, but this time it has been basically useless other than for playing music and kids games since friday.  Any suggestions as to what might be a fix for this or is this a sign that this iPad needs retiring?  Thanks

Try restarting your iPad.
Hold the Power/Lock button down until the red slider appears, then slide it to shut down the iPad.  After 5-10 seconds, press and hold the Power/Lock button down until the device powers back on again.
Once the device starts up again, try using the apps that crashed frequently before.

    Hi,
    If your OS is Linux you can update Firefox using the Package Manager / Software Center. After opening the Manager type '''firefox''' in the search area, tick '''firefox''' in the results and apply. You may also be asked to accept additional new dependencies.
    or
    You can directly download the latest version for Linux here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    It is a zip package and you have to unzip it and run the script file named '''firefox''' inside the unzipped folder. You have to go inside this folder every time to run this file or you can create a link to the '''firefox''' file on the desktop. In this case please note that the old Firefox installation will still exist and the usual links will open that instead of the new one.

  • IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
    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.
    You can try this as well.
    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.

  • IPad 4th gen seems that Safari will return to home page when new mail downloads during web

    iPad 4th Gen. Safari will return to home page when it seems to download new mail when I'm on the web!

    Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    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.

  • Actionscript 3 coding to return to home page 10 secs after sound file stops

    Hi..
    I am having some problems with my Flash Project.
    At the moment the whole thing works but I now need it to do something I have never done before.
    Basically, the user will select a page and the project will then run, via actionscript 3.0 coding, a sound file and display the appropriate page within the timeline.
    I have a back button that once tapped will return to home page.
    I now need it to return to home page 10 secs after the sound file has stopped as well as keep the function of the back button.
    What do I do?
    I can provide the coding I am using if required.
    I am currently using Flash Pro CS6 on a Win 7 Pro PC.
    Thank you for your help
    Michael

    Thank you Ned for your help, however as I do not really understand how the settimeout function works, it has now made me more confused.
    I think I have nutted out what I am trying to say.
    Essentially my project is like a web page if you like.
    I have six individual pages which all display a picture and play a sound file.
    What I would like to do is after each page is selected it will play a sound file, I then want it to wait 10 secs and then go back to a
    home page (which will be frame 1) or if they are impatient there is a back button that directs you back to frame 1.
    I have included the code used by the back button to manually get back to frame 1 either whilst the sound file is playing or after it has finished
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_1);
      function fl_ClickToGoToAndStopAtFrame_1(event:MouseEvent):void
        gotoAndStop(1);
    /* Click to Stop All Sounds
    Clicking on the symbol instance stops all sounds currently playing.
    back_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToStopAllSounds);
    function fl_ClickToStopAllSounds(event:MouseEvent):void
        SoundMixer.stopAll();
    I just want it to return to home page automatically once the sound file is finished and there is nil input from the touch screen. (This will simulate someone walking away midway and leaving it with 2nd  web page showing.)
    I hope this makes sense.
    Thank you

  • I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

    == Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

    Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
    1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
    2) Deleted the existing profile;
    3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
    4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
    5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
    I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.

  • Javascript to Display message and return to home page

    Hi
    I have a requirement to display an acknowledgement message after a button has been pressed and return to home page.
    I created some JS and tested on a standalone button.
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function GoToHome_ack()
    alert("Authorisation Created!");
    // goto to page 1
    location.href = "f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.";
    </script>
    Now the problem is I need to call this code after I have successfully executed 2 Processes conditionally on a Create Authorisation Button
    The only logical place I tried to place the call was on the conditional Branch URL, because I need the Processes to execute first.
    javascript:GoToHome_ack();
    Unfortunately this failed
    Anybody any suggestions ??
    Regards
    Ade

    Hi,
    Quickly what come my mind is that create blank page and place to HTML header
    <script type="text/javascript">
    alert("Authorisation Created!");
    // goto to page 1
    location.href = "f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.";
    </script>Then branch to that page instead javascript:GoToHome_ack();

  • Fire fox opens with tabs from preveous session not home page in tools under options and tab general I have start up with home page but all tabs from previous session open instead

    fire fox opens with tabs from preveous session not home page in tools under options and tab general I have start up with home page but all tabs from previous session open instead

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

    By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

  • Lost a preinstalled app.  If I use RESTORE to restore my home page layout will I lose downloaded free and purchased apps?

    Lost a preinstalled app (YouTube).  If I restore my home page layout, will I lose my free and purchased apps?

    No, you will not. You apps are yours to keep. Restoring the home page layout will remove all folders that your 3rd party Apps resided in, then place them in alphabetical order starting from the second page.

  • Since updating to firefox 9.0.1, every time I open up the browser, it opens to the "Hooray your firefox is up to date" page and then opens up my home page as a second window. Can you help?

    I just can't get the browser to open up to just my home page when I click on it. It '''always''' opens the firefox browser page http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew and then proceeds to open up to my home page in a second window.
