IPad 2 crashes constantly with IOS 6

iPad is on IOS 6 crashes several times a day. Reinstalled IOS 6 three times no apps except what comes on OS, iPad 2 with 32gig AT&T cell service. What would cause all this trouble?

If you've restored the device to factory settings and it's still having issues, there's most likely a fundamental hardware issue with the device that needs to be repaired

  • 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.

  • Photos crashing constantly with update 10.10.3 (14D131)

    photos crashing constantly with update 10.10.3 (14D131), can you help?
    Thank you

    Photoshop Elements is not an Apple product, please visit an Adobe Elements forum. It is  possible your version of Elements needs to be updated, check what version is installed. If you do not know, locate the app in your Apps folder, select it and type Command + I and look for the version number. Then you can research to see if that is up-to-date.
    Try this first, if it's up-to-date and still will not store please post back and we can provide some other things to check.

  • Dead iPad 1 crashed when installing iOS 5.1

    Hi
    My iPad 1 64 /3G which has all the regular crashing abilities discussed on this forum has finally died
    It crashed whilst installing iOS 5.1
    It will not restart , the battery is showing critical low level despite 24hrs of charging
    Can any body help ?  I have tried holding both buttons several times, it starts then shuts down after showing the low battery symbol, despite being on its proper power mains supply
    Does not respond at all when connected to iTunes.

    I had the same problem and was ready to throw It in the trash. Last night I erased my iPad and set it up as new iPad instead of restoring. I didn't turn on iCloud until after I deleted my iCloud backup and turned off contact syncing with it. Since then it hasn't crashed and it has had about 4 hours of use. 5.0.1 didn't have an effect on it. Just happy I got my iPad back!

  • Ipad 2 runs poorly with iOS 8

    after upgrading to IOS 8 my iPad 2  has multiple problems, among them: slow running. frequent crashes. freezing, and more.  Is there any fix for this?

    I regained control of my iPad 2 last night after having endured weeks of extreme slowness with iOS 8!!!  Unfortunately it involves restoring it from scratch.  I personally restored it from the DFU mode (see link) but am not sure if the DFU mode is absolutely necessary.  I ended up restoring when the iPad 2 finally got stuck with the Apple logo while restarting.  So I think the extreme slowness is just a symptom of more serious corruption of the device that will eventually cause it to fail restarting.  I personally had a 5 day old backup in iTunes so the device was restored to an almost identical state.  But if you have an up to date backup there shouldn't be any noticeable differences in content after the restore.  The entire process does take a long time, but it is well worth it seeing that my iPad 2 is almost as fast as the day I got it!!!
    So in summary:
    - connect iPad to iTunes and make a full backup
    - restart iPad in DFU mode
    - iTunes will tell you that it detected an iPad which needs a full restore to factory settings and update
    - iTunes will download iOS 8.1 (as of this date), then will restart your iPad and proceed with the wipe and reinstall
    - after iOS/firmware reinstallation, iTunes will restart the iPad again and will tell you to leave it connected so it can restore from the backup
    - the iPad will successfully restart at which point you can swipe to unlock; it will tell you that it was restored and offers you to set a locking passcode again
    - at the same tim iTunes will give a list of backups to restore from - select your last iPad backup
    - after a while depending on the amount of stuff that you had the restore will complete and you will be happy again!!

  • My iPad was never updated with iOS 5, now I no longer have a pc.

    I was lazy and went a year without updating, my ipad was doing everything i needed it to with pre ios 5 version, my pc has since fried and my iPad is in much need of an update. Wha do I do to move forward?

    In order to update the iOS you will have to use a computer. The highest version of iOS that the original iPad will update to is iOS 5.1.1. If you have an iPad 2 you will update to iOS 7. Any more recent iPad will already have had iOS 5 or later.

  • IPad 1 activation issue with iOS 5.1 update - any fixes?

    Tried to update my iPad 1 over WiFi to iOS 5.1 this morning.  I get a message:
    "iPad could not be activated because activation servier is termporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPad to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple minutes"
    No luck - I've tried all day.  When connecting direclty to may iMac, I get an iTunes message stating that it cannot recognize the contents of the iPad and suggests a full factory restore (which I want to avoid unless no other option is available).  iTunes does recognize that the iPad has OS 5.1 installed, however.  I've tried a few tricks I've seen posted (such as changing the DNS #), but nothing works to "activate" it.   I don't ever recall needing to "activate" an iPad with the previous updates - only after initial purchase.
    If anyone has the same problem, and has found a fix, I'd appreciate the help.  Thanks.

    Thanks - I hadn't tried that earlier (had only tried the red slider shutdown).   The problem, however, still persists (states activation server is termporarily unavailable).
    After two days of not being able to use the iPad, I"m about to break down and try restoring to factory conditions......  I hope that works.

  • Will I be able to make my iPad 1 pc free with iOS 5

    I use Wi Fi and iTunes on my husbands computer right now. I am thinking it's only going to be possible for new iPad 2s because Apple has said "pc free out of the box". Anyone have any info on this? Thanks!

    It will apply to all iPad's once iOS 5 is installed on them : http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#pcfree . It says 'out of the box' as they will start to ship with iOS 5 pre-installed, but for existing iPad's you will need to connect to your computer's iTunes and update to iOS 5 before it then becomes 'pc free'

  • IPad Crashing Constantly With Safari

    I'm new to this forum, but I have looked around to see if there was a solution to this issue, so far found nothing.
    Basically when I'm in Safari my screen will all of the sudden start jumping around. It will zoom in and out, move left to right, up and down, all on its own. I can't click/touch on anything as its now unresponsive. When I exit it out I can no longer use any other app. All the icons are now non-responsive to touch. It won't let me shut down normally either as I have to do the home/power button reset to get it off and back on.
    I've tried clearing my cookies, history, cache, yet same thing. I've noticed it happening when searching in Google, and when checking my football and hockey pools. Sometimes it doesn't do it at all but today its been almost every few minutes. Its not jailbroken, and i've done all the updates. It only started happening a few days ago and there's been no changes at all to the device.
    Any help at all?
    Please and thanks!

    I'm hoping I wont have to get to that point. But thats what its looking like its coming to. I haven't come across anyone else with the issue.

  • IPad 2 VPN access with iOS 7.1

    I updated one of my iPads to iOS 7.1. The upgrade went smoothly but now when I connect to a VPN service (strongvpn) the performance is terrible and I can no longer stream videos through the VPN. My other iPad which I have not updated yet continues to work fine with the VPN as does my iPhone 4s which has also been updated to 7.1. I have used the ookla speed test and get about a 40Mb/s download speed when not connected to the VPN this drops to under 1Mb/s when I run the test after I connect to the VPN . The other iPad and iPhone get about 12Mb/s download speed via the VPN.
    I have tried turning off other features like cellular data, Bluetooth etc but nothing changes. I even went so far as to completely reset the iPad and start from scratch but whatever I try I cannot get any improvement in the download speed when connected through the VPN so streaming video is impossible.
    I have been in contact with Strongvpn but they have no idea what is going on. All my other devices continue to perform well - just this iPad since it was updated.
    Has anyone else who uses Strongvprn successfully updated their iPad 2 without issue?
    Thanks in advance for any tips or feedback

    Just got an android tablet for less than $250. Less powerful processor, but what would you know? Runs VPN and the same streaming apps perfectly for some strange reason. Can AirPlay to my Apple TV and use it as a remote for the Apple TV. Internet works faster than my iPad 4 too. I wasn't going to wait months for an update/fix with not new functionality and only minor aesthetic differences (plus iOS in the car!).
    Hasn't crashed once in 2 days. Haven't been able to say that about my iPad in nearly 6 months.
    Good luck guys!
    2 mac book airs, 2 iPhones, 2 apple TVs, 2 iPads, Mac, TimeCapsule and bunch of crappy cables that break every six months. Let's see how the software updates go for those.

  • IPad bluescreen problem even with iOS 8.0.2

    My iPad goes to bluescreen for a second and restarts. This happens randomly twice or thrice a day since my iOS 8 updation even it continues in 8.0.2. I Guess this is due to death bug !! So kindly fix it up at next update release atleast.

    I have the same thing happening with my ipad air... I can't even get it to turn on anymore. It flashes to the blue screen, then crashes off completely. Then it restarts itself with the apple screen, then crashes, apple screen crash... it's terrible. Everything was fine and dandy until the iOS 8 update though. I just hope that they get a new update out soon!!!!

  • IPad 2 wi-fi with iOS maps turn by turn?

    I have iPad 2 wi-fi. If I buy a gps receiver such as the Dual XGPS150a, will I be able to use turn by turn navigation with Apple iOS 6 maps, or will i need to buy an app such as Navigon with preloaded maps?
    I guess my 2 questions are:
    1) Do I need data access as well as GPS to use Apple Maps in iOS 6, or do I just need GPS?
    2) Is the Maps software different for wi-fi only iPads vs. those with cellular capability? i.e. if I was connected to wifi and had a bluetooth GPS receiver, could I even then use the Maps software on iPad 2 wi-fi?
    I guess I could use my phone as a wireless hotspot and buy a gps receiver to use my iPad for GPS, but if that's the case, I could just use my phone....
    I'm just curious of the capability.  Thanks!

    I have a dual GPS receiver that I frequently use with my iOS devices.  Unfortunately, the Maps application on my WiFi iPad doesn't have any of the GPS functionality, even when the Dual GPS is paired.  It seems that Apple chose not to include the functionality, as I am able to use my external GPS with the maps turn-by-turn navigation on my iPhone without issue.
    This is very disappointing

  • Firefox 34 on Linux crashing constantly, with AMD GPU + Proprietary driver

    Firefox 34 is constantly crashing, at random intervals. Sometimes the crash occurs as soon as the browser starts, sometimes it'll be fine for a couple of minutes, sometimes it's an hour.
    I am using an AMD GPU with the proprietary driver on Linux.
    Flash is disabled.
