IPad 2 Mail Screen Blank

When I open my mail application on my new iPad2 (64GB wifi), the screen is effectively blank and none of the small icons in the window are responsive to touch. If I try to access the mailbox setting through the settings menu my iPad semi-freezes. What can I do to access my mail again, as this is a key feature I need! Help!

You can start with these steps to see if they help.
Basic Troubleshooting
These are basic steps you can try if apps suddenly quit on you or if the your IPad starts to behave erratically. Quite often these simple fixes will resolve your issue.
Quit the app by double tapping the home button to bring up the multitasking/recents tray at the bottom, hold down on any of the app icons in the tray until all the icons wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the corner to quit the offending app or apps. Try your app again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad until the red slider appears, then slide to the right to power off the iPad. Turn the iPad on again by pressing the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Once the iPad has fully rebooted, find your app, and tap the icon to relaunch.
Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch the app again and see what happens.

  • Can Someone Help With .msn (hotmail) IPAD e-mail Screen Set Up?

    Hello All,
    The MSN people have been no help at all. I'm trying to get the .msn (hotmail) set up in the IPAD so I can see the "Folders", "E-mails" then the "Reading Pane" from >left to right< at the same time. All I get now is one e mail   ail per line on down the screen. No folders or reading pane. See the .JPG photo!
    Have to tap the folders to fet them to open seperatly. If I log on to .MSN via the "PC", all looks fine but not on the IPAD...Thank you....Ken

    Thanks Skydiver...Yes I have MSN (hotmail) on the IPAD's e-mail list along with Gmail Yahoo and so on.
    It's basically useless since all my "folders" or on .MSN and you can't create any new folders in the IPAD's e mail system...........>REALLY< strange. I probably have 25 folders in .MSN.
    Everything looks great on the PC on the MSN e-mail but not on the IPAD!!!

  • My e-mail screen has frozen showing the message "cannot download the attachment". Touching the "OK" button does nothing.

    My Ipad e-mail screen has frozen while trying to download a photo attachment. An error message "cannot download attachment" is on the screen but touching "OK" does not clear it. Any suggestions please?

    You can also Force close apps
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • Why would my Mail go blank-screen on my iPad2?

    In trying to send an email with 2 - 2mb photo files, my Mail screen went blank and I cannot get my Mail on my iPad2 to work again?

    I suggest quitting the Mail app like I describe then reset your iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

    How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

    You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

  • AirPlay stops working when iPad screen blanks

    I found that after upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 5 and Apple TV to iOS 4.4 AirPlay video no longer continues in the background. When I move away from the iPad 2 app that is steaming to the TV or the iPad 2 locks itself (screen blanks), the Apple TV stops playing the video. This worked fine before the iOS updates.

    I have exactly the same issue with iPad2/OS 5.0.1 and Apple TV 2/OS 4.4.3(3323), it happens with all video applications and browsers in both cases, e.g. auto locking or swithing to another application.
    The issue doesn't happen before I upgrade to iOS 5, this really *****, it makes the Airplay completely useless!
    I can't believe this stupid bug doesn't be found by the QA tests, they're making cool features like Airplay Mirror, but they made Airplay unable to use at the same time.
    I wish it could be fixed in 5.0.1 update but "NO", so now I would have to wait for 5.0.2. I really hope somebody in Apple's engineering team is looking at this forum and post, since this is the first time I'm posting here and I don't hope it unresponded...

    - Have you tried resetting your iPad:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - What happens when you change orientation?
    - Does it will all messages and all accounts?

  • On my new iPad 4, all of a sudden the mail screen went to a vertical format and I can't change it back to horizontal.  Help!

    The mail screen on my iPad 4 all of a sudden went from the normal horizontal format to a vertical format, and I can't change it back.  Help!

    You should really start a new discussion because many times people will not even look at a solved post. It's one thing if you read the post and the solution works for you, but to add onto a solved post, especially when you have a different problem than the original person that posted, you might not get the help that you need.
    I will give it a try. Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipad 3rd gen shows blank screen when connecting to projector via HDMI AV adapter.  I have an ipad 2 that works perfectly.  Projector is a Dukane ImagePro 8106HA.  Only difference I see is that the ipad 3 owner has not updated to IOS 6. Any thoughts?

  • My iPad only has a blank screen, it will not open at all. I tried to restore and that did nothing. I am not sure how to proceed. It is charged.

    My iPad only has a blank screen. If you press the two buttons to try to get it to restart all you get is a faint light for al few seconds and then it goes back to a black screen. I did try to restore by hooking up to my mac, but I still have nothing.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. 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 device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Hold those buttons a long time before letting them go. Also it might be best to leave the iPad on the charger overnight before resetting it.
    If this doesn't work, it's time to make an appointment at an Apple store for a Consultation.

  • I dropped my iPad and the screen went blank.  I cannot get it to come back on.

    I dropped my ipad and the screen went blank.  I cannot get it to come back on.

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  If that does not work you need to take the iPad to an Apple store genius bar to have it evaluated by the technicians.

  • IPad 2, mail app frozen after g3 cellular connected. Receiving mail, but all screen function frozen. ???

    Ipad 2, mail app frozen after connecting via g3 cellular. Incoming messages are received, but all app functions are frozen. Any ideas anyone?
    rural location, have only Internet connection for answers, since email frozen. Thanks any help.

    Thanks Diavonex, but that's what I tried to discribe that I'd already done. I didn't realise it was called the "task bar".
    I've done both the things you suggested again, but Mail is still locked into this "white" screen when it is relaunched, and after 10 seconds it crashes back to the app menu page. I seems to be running in the background as it knows new emails are waiting to be read, but you can't get into Mail any more to view anything.
    Not sure whether to delete all Mail accounts in Settings and start again, but that seems extreme.
    Any other suggestions ?

  • How to blank bottom portion of e-mail screen

    I would like the bottom half of my e-mail screen (below the listed e-mails) left blank. It now contains Thunderbird user information which I don't need to see. How do I "blank" it?

    You can remove that pane altogether. I don't know why you'd want to leave it blank, wasting screen space?
    '''View|Layout|Message Pane''' or F8.
