Ipad 3 64GB wifi resets itself

I bought my ipad 3 in the first week of its release but I cannot remember the exact purchase date.
In the past 12 months it has reset itself 3 times. First two times it happened was last summer and fall.
I was at home so restore was easy and I did not bother reporting this incident.
Right now I am traveling overseas with very young kids. We used ipad to keep my 3 year old busy during 18 hour flights.
A few days ago ipad reset itself. This has been tough because we will return to united states next weekend.
I have had to get broadband installed to restore the ipad. I was unable to restore the movies. Internet speed is not great.
I have had to buy new movies from iTunes to make the return flight bearable.
After this I cannot imagine traveling with ipad again until this issue is fixed.
I don't remember what my support options are. I will not be back in US until end of this month and I am certain that I will be over 1 year purchase anniversary.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for me.

IPad 1 64GB wifi+3G suddenly rebooting and asking for activation

Using an iPad 1 64GB wifi 3G and suddenly asked to activate again.
Activation failed and now my iPad randomly reboots. Tried resetting and doing a factory restore (from iPad and from iTunes).
Help please?

Not sure really if that has to do with it, I can't get back into my iPad. I made the mistake of putting that pinball app back on my iPad after resetting it and shortly after I did that the problem started again. Some have suggested it might have to do with iWorks.
How were you able to finally get into your iPad?

Brand new ipad 2 64gb wifi wont turn on

Hi Guys,
I just bought a new Ipad 2 64gb Wifi, unboxed the ipad but i wasnt getting the cable to connect it to the itunes screen so I tried to charge it with the wall charger and with the usb but nothing seemed to work, charger and ipad went hot as when you usual charge the devices as i have also an ipad 2 16gb, i have been not able to turn it on, the screen is completely black and the computer is not detecting it.
Tried so far:
Updated Itunes to lastest version
Power button for 5 seconds
Reset mode (power and home for 15 seconds), no apple logo was shown.
Tried other cables none of them are working.
Tried DFU mode and tried a restore but itunes is not detecting the Ipad
I will be going next week to an apple store, but i want it to first give it the try here.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Have you tried resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings?
You will have to re-enter your passwords since keychain items are only restored to the same device:
"The keychain can only be restored from backup to the same iPad. If you are restoring to a new device, you will need to fill in these passwords again.)"

My wifi reset itself

My wifi reset itself and took the phone back to the start up page? And now I can't access the wifi within my home but my iPad can. Any reason for this?

LOL.. it would be an amazing coincidence if it just happened to reset to factory.. when you were not looking. Hmmm I would suspect tampering.. get out the infrared camera .. !!
There are reports of sudden power dropouts that wipe out the settings.. but I often wonder if that is the kids trying the main breaker.. !! And then press the reset so they can blame the power outage.. !!

I just bought my the new ipad black 64gb wifi 4g, but I really like white one.Because the shop finished white one and I want to buy it immediately and I bought black one. Now Can i change a white?

There's nothing anyone here can do to help you return your iPad; we're all just fellow users. Call the store from which you purchased your iPad and ask about their return policy.

IPAD 4, 64GB WiFi freezes and resets since iOS 7.X updates...

Within a day of upgrading to iOS 7, my Ipad started having almost daily freezes/spontaneous reboots. Mostly, I will be in the middle of anything from streaming music to typing in a blog, or an email, when my device will freeze and/or just spontaneously hard reset itself. I have had a few instances where the device freezes on a screen and won't budge and I have to do a hard reset manually, but, most of the time it will just happen. Just a short while ago, I was listening to Tune In, and hit my home button to go to another app and it immediately did a hard reset (with the black screen and the white Apple logo). I have updated to 7.03 and 7.04 and this has not helped.
I am trying to NOT do a factory reset because I know the device saves diagnostics that will be deleted. Should I be making an Apple store appointment to have the diagnostics read? If so, I assume the first step afterwards would be a factory reset and reinstall of all apps fesh (not from backup).
I'm not impatient, but, this is not like when I upgraded my iPad 1 to iOS 5 and the device really wasn't suited for that OS level. This is an iPad 4. It's barely a level back from the latest and greatest, and should have NO problems.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey rmacbeth, I'm sorry to hear about your iPad troubles. It seems like with every major iOS release, these issues come up on older models (the iPad 3 is relatively new though...weird)
Anyways, it sounds like you've tried everything already and nothing seems to be working. If you're sure that it's a software issue with iOS and has nothing to do with your physical home button, I'd recommend restoring your iPad to factory settings by doing the following:
1. Make a backup of your iPad (just connect it and select the backup option in iTunes)
2. Next, select factory restore. It'll ask you to back up your iPad here if you haven't already.
3. Try quickly setting it up as a new iPad.
4. Try to duplicate the issue with the freezing, just use it for a day and see if it happens at all
5. If everything seeems to be working, restore again except this time, do it from the backup you made earlier
6. Try again to see if the issue comes up by using it normally in a day
7. If it does happen again, take it in to the Apple store to get it looked at as there may be some underlying software issue that a factory restore can't resolve
Again, sorry about your iPad, I hope you can resolve your issues quickly!

Windows 8 Wireless adapter problem. - WIFI reset itself.

Hello,
I have the same problem, but only after I installed the HP wireless printer (8500 & 8600). Have you found a solution yet?
I have windows 8 now and had no problem with 7.
S

Hi disconnected33,
I see you are having difficulty with your wireless. Please provide me with some detail to help me better understand the issue and the environment.
Is the printer connected wirelessly or with a Ethernet cable?
Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector? (It is best to connect directly to the wall)
Where is the router located with respect to the computer and printer?
Is it a standalone router or a modem/router?
Does the issue seem to be the printers connecting to the network, the computer or both?
Is this an HP laptop or a different brand?
While I wait to hear back from you, if you have Windows, and if you haven't already tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, please do so and let me know the outcome. You will see a wrench, a yellow exclamation mark, a red X, or a check mark next each tested item.
Click here to download and run the utility > HP Print and Scan Doctor
If the issue persists, please complete the steps in the following document and let me know the outcome; 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print.
If the issue continues to persist, please use the following document; Troubleshooting Wireless Network and Internet (Windows 8).
I look forward to hearing from you.

New IPad resets itself in mid-call using FaceTime???

Using my New IPad, 16gb, wi-fi only this morning, doing FaceTime, in the middle of the call, the screen went blank, and the iPad appeared to completely reset itself; that is, the screen went completely blank and after a few seconds, the apple logo came on the screen, and then it proceeded to reboot to the lock screen. I tried reconnecting and this same thing happened multiple times. Sometimes within a minute of connecting the call, sometimes 5 minutes after connecting, it we in predictable. Any ideas what to do?

Apologies, Diesel, I should have put in more details:
- when a new contact is created, only the facetime icon appears to the right - no phone or texting icon
- this just started happening, all previous contacts had tel, texting and sometimes facetime icon
- the app doesn't automatically format the phone number correctly when "done" is tapped (i.e. add brackets and hyphen if not typed in manually)
- the keyboard has actually lost it's round brackets!
This is my father's iPhone - I'm helping him out, and know more details may be needed.
thanks

My iPad 3 64GB keeps crashing and restarting (3rd Generation 2012)

Last night I was playing on my iPad 3 64GB (Wifi only) and then all of a sudden it crashed then restarted itself.
This happened again about 10 minutes later,
and then again about 5 minutes later,
and now it happens constantly every 2 minutes.
I cant restore it because when its connected to my iTunes, iTunes thinks im unplugging it every 2 mins so dont have enough time to try and restore it.
Also if i turn it off whilst its on charge it turns itself on again and gets into its crashing and restarting cycle.
I've tried reseting it to factory settings on my iPad (thinking that a dodgy app was to blame) and this did nothing, now i just have an empty broken iPad 3

I called Apple and went through the whole "im not just being a retard" sequence. They then believed the problem was genuine and told me to go to an apple store.
Meanwhile the guy on the phone from apple told me how to put in into DFU mode (something like that) by:
1.holding the lock and home buttons until it reset,
2. continuing to hold the home button until the device asks to be connected to itunes.
This managed to freeze my screen - which was a result in my opinion as it genuinely looked broken and therefore guarenteed me a swap from apple. but on my way home i noticed that my iPad was continuing to heat up to the point where i feared it setting alight! so i tunred it off. Then when it turned it back on it worked fine!
But regardless of this i had lost faith in my iPad and took it to the apple store to see the "Geniuses" who very kindly apologised and swaped it for a brand new one which is working fine - touch wood.

Their is website in which I can get or buy ipad3 64GB wifi and 4g for 400 30 usd is it possible they say they are authorized by apple is it even possible to buy ipad3 as low as 400

I was browsing through website to find out the prize for iPad 3 in my country I end up on a website where I can get an iPad 3 64gb wifi 4g for as low as 400 and I was shocked to see that low prize then I contact the owner of the website throug email cause he Is in Malaysia and I'm in Bahrain any ways he replayed me back by confirming that we are authorized dealer of apple and we are doing whole sale not retail and by buy from us you can get 53% discount on from the original prize and I still don't get it so please any one can just confirm is it possible that I can get this offer for ipad3

The iPads could be stolen, or not new and unused. How do they want you to pay? This could indicate if they are "legit".
Can you post the web site address?

Is there any solution to the iPad 2 losing WiFi every 30 minutes or so?

I have a new iPad 2 (64Gb WiFi only) that I purchased about a week ago. The only problem is that every 20 or 30 miutes it looses WiFi connection. To resolve the issue I have to go into settings and either toggle airplane mode or toggle the network on then off. This doesn't have anything to do with sleep mode as it can happen while I am in the middle of using the WiFi successfully and then it just drops all of a sudden and just spins. No other wireless device on my network has this issue. This was also happening before and after the delivery of the magnetic cover so I don't think it is related to the cover. I have a friend that used his Android tab at my house with no problems at all. I see on here that this is a common problem but it looks as if nobody has addressed the issues with any type of solution. My router is a newer ( Roughly a year and a half old) Belkin N router so it's not like I am using out of date hardware and if it was the router then why just the iPad? I Reeeeeealy want to be a big Apple fan here but it's kind of hard with such a frustrating issue.

iOS 5 seems to have fixed it for me so far.

Connect to iTunes required after every power off of Ipad 64GB wifi

My Ipad 64GB wifi model continually prompts to "connect to iTunes" every time I power off and power back on. This is extremely frustrating and the Apple Customer Care has asked that I return my iPad. I would rather find a solution since I am working Iraq and my Ipad is my e-book reader (in place of a Kindle. Steps taken thus far:
Reset iPad (Erase All Content and Settings)
Reset Network settings
Reset All Settings (content not erased)
I've read that this problem sometimes occurs with some third-party applications installed (like Jailbird) . I do not have any of those applications installed. If anyone can offer a solution I would greatly appreciate it.
Danielle

Since you erased all content and reinstalled the OS and this still happens, sounds like a hardware failure. You need to take the iPad back to an Apple store for an exchange.

IPAD resetting itself and will not activate after restore

Hi
I got an iPAD 3G+WIFI just over a month ago and everything was working fine. all of a sudden it just started resetting itself. I got a message on screen saying I should restore the iPAD and a strange error saying "iPhone cannot call" (or something like that) so I connected to iTunes, backup, and restored. The problem is that after restore the iPAD won't activate and iTunes puts up an error saying "We're sorry, iPAD is damaged. Please take to the closest Apple store". (I tried all sorts of forced restart and restore that I found in various forums but it just won't activate)
Now...the additional problem... I got this as a gift from the US, but I live in Malta (Europe) and the closest Apple store is basically in another country!! The local Apple agent isn't licensed for servicing iPADs yet.
1. Can this be solved via software?
2. Is it possible to ship back via post?
Thanks

I sounds like a hardware problem to me. I suspect you can send it back but first your typically need and RMA number which you get from Apple. Have you asked the locale store of how to send it back? Since it seem that it is within the 90 day free telephone support period you should be able to call Apple in the USA for shipping instruction. Go to the USA Apple site to find contact information.

I am having wireless wifi signal problems on my ipad 2 64GB 3G

All other gadgets and laptop is connecting easily with good signal strength but my ipad 2 is having signal problems, unless i dont sit right in front or very near to the router i cannot have enough signals, does this issue come under warranty ? as ipad 2 64gb is **** expensive and its useless if you cannot even browse anything on it.
Farhan

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

New IPAD 64GB WIFI SCREEN FREEZE

Hi. I have The New IPAD 64GB WIFI. Initially it worked fine. After a few weeks it started to freeze. At one point it even gave me the blue screen of death. Did the reset(home off button10 sec). It would restart but crash again a few minutes later. Done a factory reset on the Ipad "erase all content and settings". No new apps installed. Still have the same problem.Anybody have a solution for this?

Personally, I wouldn't try anything further to "fix" the iPad. If you restored it and removed all apps and it still acts up like you describe, I would head to an Apple Store, show it to an Apple Genius, and then politely ask for a replacement.
