IPad 2 IOS 5.0.1 - Contacts Won't Start

Hi - weird problem. When I hit the contacts icon on my iPad 2 the contacts screen pops up for abut 1/2 second and then minimises. I can see it is a running task but cannot bring it to full screen. I have tried a hard reset but still persists. Any ideas guys and gals?
Steve

There are a couple of current discussions on the site about this issue and there have been others since the iOS 5 update. That is of no help to you - but I just want you to know that you are not alone with this problem.
Did you try quitting Contacts on the iPad?
To quit the app.. 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.

    This is also causing in problem in not letting me move the Service Data to a new volume. I get an error saying that it can't find the original folders for calendars.
    I'm thinking some plists or db files have got corrupted somewhere. I've tried trashing the /Library/Server/Contacts and Calendars folder, to no avail.

    Hello frenchguru and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for your question on synchronizing your Contacts and Calendar.
    Currently the BlackBerry® Desktop Software does not support data synchronization with the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet.
    If you have this data in a supported email account, you can use Wireless sync to add this data. See KB30038 for the supported email accounts types.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • My iPad, purchased in Nov. 2012 won't start after the most recent IOS update, and it's fully charged. Any suggestions?

    My iPad purchased in 11/2012 won't start since updating to the most recent IOS version in 3/2015.
    It's fully charged but pressing the HOME button or SLEEP/WAKE button, individually or together doesn't have any effect.
    Suggestions?

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    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 (or it doesn't help), 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, read this.

  • 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.

  • Contacts won't start on E71

    Hello Forum,
    Recently I discovered that I can't start the standard Contacts application. I'm able to look up contact in order to make a call, but I am unable to look up any information when just pressing the Contacts icon.
    What happens is the same whether I press the Contacts button or the icon in the menu:
    Screen blanks for half a second, then returns to previous state.
    Thanks in advance for helping out.
    Jakob

    Have the same problem on my E71. Let me explain how it happens and how i sort of solved it:
    1. It happens every time i update my phone's firmware / software (through OVI suite via PC)
    2. How i sort of solved it? Every time you update your phone, you have to make a backup, otherwise you lose ALL of your data. So i always make a full backup:
    contacts, calendar and notes, messages
    device settings and applications
    photos
    videos
    music and recorded sound clips
    documents
    And after the software upgrade your phone is of course in its initial phase and you need to make a full restore. After the full restore, you can't open contacts. Well, what i did was to uncheck the device settings and applications when doing a system restore and i was able to use contacts again after the restore. Had to to reinstall all my applications and re-set all the settings manually though.

    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.

    Hi Blueandpink,
    If you are running iOS 4, you will need to update the iPad via iTunes on your computer (can't do OTA updates unless you have iOS 5 or higher).
    If you have a first generation iPad, unfortunately you won't be able to update to iOS 6 (iOS 5 is the highest you can update to on the original iPad).
    If you are on an iPad 2, 3, or 4th generation with iOS 5 and it still isn't working, try holding  down on both the Sleep AND Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding it until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of the buttons. This “reset” fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the update issue. Try updating again.
    Hope this helps!

    Recently backed-up 1st generation IPad from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5.1.1; contacts now gone.  How to restore them?

    Thanks - the backup to iCloud had not been turned on but fortunately it was backed up to iTunes and we restored from there.

    Thank you for your response. Like you it doesn't make sense to me either, however I finally got a response back from  AT&T. There are two towers down in my rural area and they should be backup tomorrow between 2-3pm. The update 'mess' is just a coincidence? We'll see,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • IPad Contacts Won't Synch with iCloud Despite Apple Fixes

    I added a contact on my iPad (iOS 8.3), but it didn't sync to my iPhone, iMac, or when I check on www.icloud.com.
    I've done every single step at Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support but the problem persists.
    I am only using iCloud on all devices, and it's the same account.
    Any suggestions on what to do next?

    Hi Pimpernel,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to import a vCard to iCloud. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    iCloud: Import a vCard
    In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
    Select a vCard to import.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • IPad air 2 randomly won't start

    My iPad Air (iOS 8.1) once in a while won't start with either home button nor the on/off button. Only a hard reboot turns it on.
    Anyone experiencing the same issue or has a solution?

    Hi there ritjer,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. It looks like you have already done most of the troubleshooting outlines, so you may want to start from step 5.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    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 about restoring 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.

    Hey,
    I assume you already plugged it into iTunes and tried to restore it? When it is in Recovery mode, the only thing you can do is restore it. You want to make sure that you back the iPad up on a regular basis.

  • I know it's a little late but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play my music. It will play spotify and YouTube music but not my music. Everything else works fine but when I go to play a song it just skips to the next. Why

    I know it's a tad late, but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play any of my music. It will play Spotify and YouTube just fine, but it won't play my music. It will just skip to the next a d the next and the next after a second or two without any sound. Please help! Thank you.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync

    2nd Gen iPad Mini stopped working yesterday.  Won't startup under and configuration and is not recognized by my iMac.  I believe it upgraded itself to iOS 8 (????)

    Hey Kenneth,
    So it sounds as if your iPad is not responding at all when you try to turn it on, is that correct? If so, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    If you get it to start up and it is still not recognized by iTunes on your Mac, use the steps in this article to troubleshoot that issue -
    If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,
