IPad 2 keeps being screwy!!! Please read!

My iPad recently started prompting me for my Apple login at random times. Whether or not i enetered the password, nothing happened. The request still popped up an hour later. I tried to restart my iPad, verifying all Apple store unfo...i even went through a back up and restore process hoping it would work. Now, it asks for the passwords and refuses to update apps or sownload from the Apple Store. Help'

One possibility is that you have something large downloading.  Check in the iTunes app, and make sure nothing is downloading there.  I had something similar happen. What had occured was I had automatic downloads on, and a purchase was made on a different device with my account, so it was automatically downloading several gigs of content.  Until it was done, nothing else was loading (it can be paused tho).  Even if there is nothing downloading at the moment, do other family/friends access your account on other devices and computers?  If so, and you have automatic downloads on in your shettings, it could be asking for your password to Download those purchases.
Similarly, go through all of your apps to make sure there is not a single app stuck loading/installing/updating, whether for that reason or any other.
Close all background apps.
Restart.
If all that fails, try a sync as a last chance before restoring (make a backup first)

  • Adobe Shockwave plugin keeps crashing. Please read

    So I'm using Windows 8.1. and Shockwave Flash 13.0.0.206 keeps crashing.
    It's up to date, infact it's latest update was today. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, didn't work. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both Shockwave AND Flash, didn't work. I tried resetting friefox, didn't work.
    Messages like "Shockwave flash plugin has crashed, continue or stop plugin" I always click continue but nothing happens.
    This has been plauging me for a month now. What do I do?

    Hi,
    Please try the following.
    Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
    (Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    (Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line ProtectedMode=0 and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
    Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the ProtectedMode=0 line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
    Try disabling Hardware Acceleration. <br>
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].

  • Messages read on iPhone/iPad are not being marked as read on Mac

    I've had an iPhone, iPad, and Mac for several years and just recently noticed that my unread messages on my Mac are increasing.  I don't use the Mac much since I use the iPhone or iPad more often.  The number of unread message across my iPhone and iPad are always in sync, but not my Mac.  I have two Gmail accounts - Main and Spam.  The Spam account seems to sync - there are currently 22 unread messages across all devices.  But the Main account doesn't sync from iPhone/iPad to Mac.  I have 64 unread messages on iPhone/iPad but it's 207 on the Mac.  How do I make messages that I've read on my iPhone/iPad show as read on my Mac?  I got the iPhone 5 last year, but I think this is a relatively new development.

    Late reply I know, but if you haven't already, try to disable to antivirus or whatever security software that might be filtering email on your Mac and test Mail again. I ended up disabling the "Mail Shield" option on "avast!" (antivirus/anti-SPAM software).

  • I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

    I keep being asked to update my Safari but when I do a Software update it scans but never gives me a list and just says no new updates. Help please!

    There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
    If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.

  • TS1702 Why won't my apps install on my ipad? it keeps waiting. Please help

    Why won't my apps install on my iPad, it just keeps waiting. Please help.
    Thanks.

    These are all steps that have worked for some other users in the past. They may not work for you, but they are worth a try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • I keep being asked for my pop.mail password for my user address. Can you help please.

    I keep being asked for my pop.mail password and I do not know what is meant. Can you help. I cannot receive or send messages on thunderbird. You say you have sent a reset message to me but it has not come through. I am searching messages on my ipad. I am on the verge of abandoning Thunderbird and continuing to use my ipad and yahoo account. Thank you for your help in advance.

    Thunderbird has nothing to do with administering your email password and is not going to send you anything. I am not even sure where you requested that something be sent to you unless it is for the password to this forum which has nothing to do with your email.
    Your email provider would have a link to reset your password on their email help page.
    I would go to your providers web mail page and see if your username and password work thee. if they do then you might have incorrect server settings causing the password error.

  • Hi my ipad mini keeps deleting emails from the in box I want them left untl I am ready to delete.  Please help!

    hi my ipad mini keeps deleting emails from the in box I want them left untl I am ready to delete.  Please help!

    In theory, an IMAP server should never present different views of the same inbox to different IMAP clients. (I assume you did verify that the laptop and the older iPad were accessing the server using IMAP; some servers offer both IMAP and POP.) The clients could react differently, but I am not aware of any settings that would cause what you are seeing.
    I know this sounds like a cliche, but have you tried power-cycling or resetting the iPad Mini?

    After searching, found a few answers and tried one last thing-- allowing Safari to accept Cookies. I never use Safari so never changed any settings in it ever. However, I guess an update along the way turned off cookies in it and that was the blockage. Once I allowed Safari to use cookies I was able to redeem the gift card. SO, glad this board is here for these types of questions!!!!

  • IPad 4 keeps freezing on iOS 7 please help

    iPad 4 keeps freezing on iOS 7 please help.

    Try to reset your device. The reset can help cure some odd issues that can crop up.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    Hi Poonam26c,
    If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

    First, for the forum view issue. Go to My Settings (on the right) and in General Settings change the Topic Page View to Flat. Click Save. Posts should show up in the order they were written.
    Have you seen this?

    Also, since you said that you've gone through the 5 Rs, I would assume that you used the iPod Updater to restore (since there is no other way of doing it and you don't "run" the 5 Rs).
    When you restored, did you use the latest updater?
    You may also want to try formatting the iPod through Windows. Connect it to the computer and when it appears in My Computer right click it and go to format. Does anything happen? Can you format the iPod through Windows?

    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.
