IPad 2 zooms in and freezes

Hi,
Our iPad 2 has recently developed a zooming problem. If we have been zooming in and out a lot, all of a sudden it zooms right in and freezes. The screen can't be moved around, it won't zoom back out. Going out of the app doesn't fix it. The home screen is zoomed so far in it only shows about 6 apps. The only fix I've found is to shut it down, but that sometimes doesn't work. Any ideas?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You can zoom in and out by double-tapping with 3 fingers, and if you don't want to be able to zoom then you can turn it off via Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom 'off'

My iPad zooms in and gets stuck, anyone know why?

Hello All,
My iPad (3? Retina display) keeps zooming in randomly and refuses to zoom out. I don't know if this is a magnify feature gone wrong and I don't know how it does it. The only thing that fixes it is a reboot but I wondered if anyone else knows what this glitch/feature is...?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Thanks King Penguin,
Had the same problem and thought my iPad was a goner. The triple finger double tap saved me a lot of trouble.

IPad not unlocking and freezing

I've been having this problem lately; my iPad usually doesn't unlock at the first try. Sometimes the unlock screen is just frozen so I have to lock it again with the power button and then it unlocks. Other times it unlocks but then freezes on the home screen or whatever app it locked itself on. Updating to iOS 7.1.2 didn't help.
Anyone knows what this is and how do I fix it?
Thanks.

If the above doesn't work, try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings for Wi-Fi, FaceTime, Message, Home Sharing, Wall Paper, Sound etc will be reset

IPad Safari slow and freezing

My iPad constantly freezes on sites like eBay - will not play cNet video etc. What's up? we have no flash, and the alternative doesn't work either????
Please don't tell me to disable javascript, eBAy is useless with out it, and OS X is meant to support it.

It isnt a local network problem. I have used it on several networks, the same issue occurs. This is a wide spread issue if you look at these forums. I just went back to the ipad after leaving the iphone over a year ago, and the same issues dont seem to have been solved, just ignored by the user base.
I saw one guy suggest that you just avoid sites that make it crash and send a mail to the website telling them to correct the error if they want ipad users. That has to be the most arrogant and stupid comment I have ever read. Yes, eBay will change their site forthe hundreds of millions of users on browsers that work so that Safari on the ipad is useable. Jesus. Talk about the blinkers on.
Internet in my hand? I hope someone else comes out with a tablet soon, I will be jumping ship. I like the form factor, but Safari and the lack of flash *****. Hurry up HP.
Irony is I cant even use my bloody iPad to list it on eBay. Its a good device, but far too many flaws.

Has anyone noticed their iPad is slower and freezes with the new IOS 7 upgrade

Is anyone having problems with your iPad freezing with the new operating system

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

IPad zoom stuck and unresponsive

My daughter has done it this time. She has turned on the zoom and it is at the max. The old three finger double tap and the home button fast three times does nothing. I can't power it off. Once in twenty tries, I can get to settings but scrolling doesn't work so I can't get over to turn off zoom. I'm out of ideas.

Have you tried resetting your iDevice?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

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.
Here are the links, and the last one pertains to the reset to factory default condition ...

My iPad air keeps crashing and freezing when browsing the internet . Please help :(

My husband and I updated to the new OS. Now our iPad Air's keep crashing and freezing whilst browsing the internet. We have done a reset and swiped away pages but nothing is helping. Its very frustrating Can anyone help? Thank you Jo

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, confirm that this is what you did for a "reset." 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, since you have IOS-7, read this.

I shot a video using my iPad 2, and it is too far away from the subject. How do I zoom in and save the whole video like that? Thanks!

Sorry to be such a moron with this, but I just don't have much experience with this iPad. I have had it for over a year and I just keep adding stuff to it and it has worked great. Now that the memory is used up, I am trying to figure out how to free up space and not lose what I have paid for.
So, Step 1 is complete, as I have "Transferred" all of the purchases.
What is Step 2? I unchecked the concert on the iTunes library, did a sync, but it's still on my iPad.
Thanks again for the help!!!
