IPad 2 keeps going to the desktop while trying to work in Safari. Why? How to stop it?

My wife's iPad 2 often switches to the desktop display when she's trying to work with Facebook for no apparent reason. This causes her to lose her place on the page she's working on which is ver frustrating. How can we stop this from happening?

You can try killing the safari app but since that is the facebook website and not the facebook app, then it is the website issue not the ipad. Best solution is to download the free facebook app.

  • I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

    I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

    At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

  • HT5052 I keep getting an error code while trying to upload the IOS 5.1 update to my Ipad 2

    I keep getting an error code while trying to update my Ipad2 to iOS 5.1
    I have tried though syncing to my Mac and by itself

    First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart.
    Then try to update at Settings > General > Software Update
    The update servers have been extremely busy this week so keep trying. It took me several attempts before my iPad began the update process.

  • My iPad 2 keeps going into no service mode since upgrading to iOS 8.0 and the same with iOS 8.0.2

    My iPad 2 keeps going into no service mode since upgrading to iOS 8.0 and the same with iOS 8.0.2

    Hi jhatlanta, 
    I understand you are using a cellular iPad 2 and since upgrading to iOS 8 (and 8.0.2) your iPad drops the cellular connection and says, "No Service".
    So you have done step 5 in this list, but please test the other steps.
    If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad
    If you're in your carrier's coverage area
    Follow these steps, testing after each.
    Tap Settings > Enable Airplane Mode, wait five seconds, then turn off airplane mode.
    Restart your device.
    Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
    Check for a carrier-settings update: Connect to a Wi-Fi network, tap Settings > General > About, and install any available carrier-settings updates. If you can't connect to Wi-Fi, connect your device to a computer that has iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues.
    Restore your iPhone.
    Best Regards,
    Nubz

  • My new MacBook Air keeps shutting down the screen while I use it

    My new MacBook Air keeps shutting down the screen while I use it and has to be rebooted. I took it in to the Genius desk at my local store, but they couldn't find anything wrong and said that they have never seen this problem before.
    I Spoke to the IT support guy at work. He has the same problem with his new MacBook, but not with his older one. He suggested that it is a software issue with all new MacBooks and is connected to the timing of it going into sleep mode. Does anybody have a solution? Apple doesn't seem to have one.

    Try a SMC reset.

  • My iPad won't connect to the Internet while I'm in Europe, how do I connect it ?

    Helpppppp !!!!??? My iPad won't connect to the Internet while I'm in Europe, how do I connect it ?

    What is the difference between roaming and Wi-fi.  I'm going to EU in a week.  Your answer implies that if I use the Wi fI in the apartment I'm staying at for my Mac or my Iphone, I won't have to pay extra.  Do I have that right.  My carrier is ATT on my phone. 
    That's right, wifi is free around the whole world (except if you have to pay to access a protected network). It doesn't matter whether you're with ATT or Verizon. Beaware to turn off Cellular and Data Roaming as it is very costly if you don't have an int'l plan.  I think the cheapest ATT int'l plan at this moment is $25 for 50MB.
    Also, you can text anywhere in the world for 50 cents with cellular and data roaming off.  At this rate, you're not going to be popping 50 text messages back and forth, but for a few, I find it to be very reasonable.  It's cheaper to text a fellow traveler than to call him/her at int'l phone rates.  The cheapest text plan is 50 messages for $10.  See ATT.com for other plans.
    Another option to consider is Skype. With a wifi signal, you can call anywhere in the world for about 2 cents a minute.  When I set my Skype account up, they required a $10 prepayment.  At 2 cents a minute, that's 500 minutes.  While I think I set my Skype account up from Europe, I think it might be easier to do it here.  Skype works great on both my iPad and my IP.

  • My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

    Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I keep getting an error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space.  What does this mean?

    I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space."  What does this mean?

    Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

    Apple world-wide support numbers are found at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If this is regarding your information line that says a stolen iPhone, Apple can do nothing to help you.  You must track the iPhone yourself using iCloud and must have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone before it was stolen.  If that was not done, there is no way to track the iPhone.
    Report the theft to the police and the cell service provider and ask if they can blacklist the iPhone so it cannot be used.  Change all passwords associated with acconts on the iPhone.

  • TS1424 I keep getting an "err: 100000" while trying to download the 2nd part of an audiobook (all other 6 parts downloaded normally). What do I do?

    I keep getting an "err: 100000" while trying to download the 2nd part of an audiobook (all other 6 parts downloaded normally). What do I do?

    I'd report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    I keep getting a "not enough memory"  comment on my computer.  Where can I look to find out what is taking up the memory while i'm working?

    Are you referring to the message that says your startup disk is full?  If so, you need to delete some files from the hard drive, or get a larger hard drive.  Moving some files to an external hard drive is a quick and easy solution.  Note that you should avoid the temptation to use various utilities to clean up your system or remove parts (like unused languages).  That will not free up much space and can easily result in damaging your system.
