IPad 2 Freezing and Dropping WiFi

Over the last few days my iPad 2 continuously freezes whilst watching things through iPlayer / Sky Go / 4 OD etc. Sometimes the WiFi will go completely and I need to switch back on.
I have checked our Internet and all is fine, tried using the apps via my iPhone 5 and had no problem whatsoever. The problem definitely lies with the iPad.
I have closed all Apps and restarted iPad a number on times but it continues to carry on in the same way.
iPad is fully charged, up to date with Software and has plenty of memory available.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and how to fix it?
Thanks

This is Apple's official WiFi trouble-shooting page. You should waalk through the list trying it all.
In addition, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My iPad screen freezes and will not switch off for at least 5 mins?

    my ipad screen freezes and will not turn off or  function for at lease  5 mins then just closes down

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • How do I stop FaceTime on my MacBook Pro from freezing and dropping connection constantly?

    I only have this issue with FaceTime on my MacBook Pro; FaceTime works fine on my iPad Mini and iPhone 5S. I'll be talking with someone over FaceTime and it will randomly freeze and/or say it's lost the connection and I usually have to turn my Wifi off and on again and it reconnects. Every time I click on the Wifi icon in the top it says it's looking for networks. Why would it be looking for networks? It's almost always within 10-15 feet of my wireless router and nothing else in my house has an issue maintaining a connection with it. Is there some kind of unnecessary setting on my MacBook Pro that tells it to constantly search for other networks even though I've only set it up for one network?

    Were you able to download and save the DMG (disk image file) for Firefox?
    If there are problems with updating or permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (DMG) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 16.0.2: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.<br />
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

  • My iPad is freezing and having kernel panics sometimes won't turn on. Help please? (iPad 3rd generation)

    Well, my iPad has kernel panics about everyday, when I get on facebook mostly. Basically, any app I get on it will either: freeze and flicker into a black home screen, or it will have a kernel panic and turn off. I am also having problems with it charging. When the iPad is on, it charges just fine. But when it dies and I plug the charger in, it doesn't recognize that it is charging. But, when I take the charger out, it thinks it is charging.
    Here's one of the plists:

    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 be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Audio continues to freeze, and drop over AirPlay

    I have two recurring problems with iTunes, and I'm at a loss at how to solve them. Every bit of research and forum-scouring I've done has turned up nothing but the obvious trouble-shooting steps, all of which I've taken. I'm hoping perhaps there might be some others out there who have figured out some sort of a solution so this doesn't just end up as "Apple Needs to Fix It" (which seems to be the case more often these days )
    Two Recurring Issues with iTunes
    Problem 1 - AirPlay “drops” and completely stops working
    Open iTunes
    Play a song – already “connected” to 2 Speakers;my computer, and my AppleTV
    On initial play, AppleTV NEVER plays. It just doesn’t “realize”, for lack of a better word, that it’s being expected to play.
    Through iTunes or the Remote app on iPhone I have to un-select AppleTV as a Speaker, and then re-select it. Once I do this AirPlay starts working on AppleTV and audio is heard.
    AirPlay will continue to intermittently “drop”and AppleTV will just randomly stop working. I have to do the same thing – open speakers, un-select and re-select AppleTV – to get it working again. Over, and over, and over again.
    Problem 2 - iTunes Playback “freezes”
    This happens just as frequently as problem 1.
    This seems to be more of an iTunes issue, as it happens even when I am NOT using AirPlay, and only My Computer has beenselected as a Speaker.
    iTunes will simply “freeze”. Playback stops. I can’t interact with iTunes at all – no stop, FF, Skip, new song, etc. Nothing.
    It remains frozen for very random lengths of time. Maybe 5 seconds, maybe 60.
    Eventually it “catches” up to itself and un-freezes, and playback resumes.
    It seems that once it happens once, it continues to happen in regular succession so much so that iTunes becomes essentially worthless and I have to shut it down as I can’t listen to anything.
    I get no problems with CPU being hosed when these issues crop up. My computer specs are more than sufficient to avoid such problems for appropriately coded programs.
    iTunes 10.5.2.11
    Core 2 2.4 GHz quadcore
    8 GB Ram
    7200rpm HDrive, nicelydefragged.
    Linsys E3000, firmwareup to date.
    Win 7 64bit
    Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • IPad Mini is intermittently dropping wifi

    IS this a known iPad mini issue?

    Try #5.
    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 droping 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

  • My iPad 2 is now dropping wifi. Why?

    Since last OS upgrade my iPad is consistently dropping wifi. Why

  • IPad 2 freezes and crashes daily, is this a common occurrence?

    I have to perform a hard reset almost daily on my iPad 2; this doesn't seem right to me. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Took mine to Genius Bar at Apple Store with same problem.
    Go to Settings, then General. Down at the bottom you will find RESET.
    then do RESET ALL SETTINGS. DO NOT RESET AND ERASE! Only do the first option which is RESET ALL SETTINGS.
    This will wipe out a few easy things to get back: background wallpaper, wifi password, etc. In other words, your personal settings only.
    But, it fixes the freezes. His explanation to me was that the personal settings were causing app freezes, which I really didn't understand.  But, bottom line it fixed it and it has been 3 weeks now.

  • My iPad keeps freezing and shutting down just after I purchased an itunes movie.

    -iPad Mini
    -64GB
    -w/o Retina display
    -Updated to the latest iOS 7
    -Using "Videos" app to watch and used "iTunes Store" to download movie
       I literally just downloaded this movie,called "Sucker Punch", I wanted to watch it while it downloaded and it was doing fine for the first maybe 2 minutes if that and then I would pause it when it started skipping thinking I was letting it buffer, but then when i tried to resume by using my clicker on my headphones nothing would happen. I proceeded to tap the screen thinking something was up with my headphones and nothing happened. I held the home and lock button to boot and then it came back on eventually but did the same exact thing but this time it just crashed completely and restated itself. My WiFi single is strong and everything else using the WiFi is working perfectly. This is very aggravating . Any clue or help?

    Hello, BRIABUNNI. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are a couple resources that have some helpful troubleshooting steps for this issue.  These are labeled for the iPhone, but the steps will also apply for the iPad. 
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Final Cut Pro 7 Frame freezing and dropping frames for 3 seconds...

    So, I'm creating a video which leads up to .png files being on screen for 00:00:00:20 and 00:00:00:10. When it hits that first frame of 00:00:00:20, it freezes for 3 seconds, misses out the rest of the frames before continues. What puzzles me is that in the playback window in FCP, it plays exactly how it should but when rendering out into "Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1084 60i 48 kHz .mov" format, it plays like this...
    It leads me to believe that the frames per second need to be upped but not a cut how to do this on FCP. If this is not the reason for this problem, I'd love to hear from you!
    Thanks in advanced!

    I feel that this is your problem. Editing from a network drive is not particularly ideal as there are quite a few overheads when it comes to data transfer. Bear in mind that in a properly set up network users have a restricted amount of bandwidth to 'play" with so as to minimise horrendous bottlenecks and complaints. Additionally having only 1.9 to 2 GB of free space is a recipe for disaster. The drive could fail miserably and as a result you could lose your work. One thing that is useful to know about conventional drives is that their speed drops dramatically as you fill them up, up to the point that they crawl. I suggest you move your work into a local drive, that is one connected to the computer you use, with ample space to space (filled way below 50% of its capacity). In fact, fcp capture scratch, render and media folders should be there.
    Good luck

  • IPad keeps freezing and flashing and jumping to other apps

    My Iliad mini is one year old. About 3 months ago it started acting up. It flashes on and off within an app. Sometimes in a game it makes moves for me. I tried updating but I keep getting an error because the update never completes.

    What iOS version are you using? iOS 7.1 supposedly corrected this.
    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

  • IOS 6 NewiPad and dropping WiFi

    New iPad  WiFi connection dead immediately after iOS 6 upgrade:
    WiFi can be restored by toggling flight mode off then on, and it will stay active until I go the App Store or try using maps at which time the WiFi stops working for all applications.
    Toggling Flight Mode brings back the connection.
    HOW CAN THIS BE FIXED?
    I have tried the "renew" fix, the "reset" fix, the "forget" fix, the "AUTO Proxy" fix and done a couple of hard reset.Same problem, no change. 
    iPad functioned 100% under iOS 5.
    Really annoying

    Here is a reply to MY original post on this exact issue. I am unable to test it since I am on my employers network. Maybe someone else can try this and let everyone know if it works.

    Text from helpful reply from marty.li0707
    i have the same problem here on my new ipad. iOS6. i seem to fix this by turning my router off and then on again then changing my router's SSID. but first, log out to your apple account on the settings ("itunes and app stores") tab on your iPad. reboot the device and try again. i can connect to the internet immediately after. you can now access the appstore, you will be asked to enter your Apple ID and password. but NEVER forget to log out your appstore/itunes account upon exiting the wifi. or else same problem will occur when you re enter to the same or other wifi networks.

  • Very SLOW synching and freezing and dropping shared libraries

    I have had my APT for about 2-3 years now. Never had issues until about a month ago.
    In the past 3 days, i have spent a lot of time on the phone with tech support. My ATV would drop my shared library from my laptop, then it would appear again, drop it, appear again, etc ....
    I decided to wipe the hard drive and reinstall the entire OS on the ATV.
    But then we couldn't get the ATV to find the network. Considering my extreme station was in a different room, I bridged the network with another extreme I had on hand. My Wii and laptop in the living room pick up the signal with full strength. And the ATV shows full bars as well now.
    I then tried to download the software update 3 times, and FINALLY I got it installed before it froze.
    Now, I am streaming fine with my laptop, but I want to synch my Mac Pro with the Apple TV just like last time.
    Now only has it taken 2 hours to synch 25 photos, it has been freezing still during the synch.
    Tech support doesn't know what else to do.
    Any ideas?

    I don't think i have two stations streaming the same network, but my main extreme station is at one end of my condo, and the Apple TV had issues reaching that signal, so we took an Express and bridged, or extended, the network.
    Now that Apple TV sees the network, but the streaming, synching issues still continue.
    Oh, and when is ay we, I mean the tech support people at Apple advised me to use the express (i already owned it) to extend the network signal range.
