Ipad 3 apps frozen.

My mom has Ipad 3, when she reboot her ipad all the apps frozen. She has to download an app to make it work again. Is it a manufacture default or just the problem with the OS?

Read this article about troubleshooting downloaded apps from the app store. I think this might answer your question. If I understand you correctlty that is.

If this happened as a one time occurrence, this may be what happened.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.

  • IPad app frozen on "waiting"

    How do you resolve an iPad (2) App frozen on "waiting?" It's an app I used regularly and can still access through App store. It was recently updated. I have read some posts online and have already tried rebooting the iPad, logging off/in iTunes, and double clicking icon. My main concern is that it's draining the battery.

    Hello elsiehow,
    You may need to force close all open apps, then reset your iPad.

  • Ipad App Store said "20" updates.  I attempted to update w/3G.  Now many apps say "Waiting" and are frozen.  When I go online and plug into computer it just updates and doesn't address the individual apps, which still say "Waiting" and are frozen.

    iPad App Store app said "20 updates".  Attempted to update w/3G.  Updated some, but now many apps say "waiting" and are frozen.  I attempted to update then by attaching to computer Itunes Store.  All it did was very quickly go thru the 4 steps and said, "Synched, OK to uplug."  I clicked my ipad and then apps.  It also said Update complete (or something like that).  Now several apps on iPad are frozen and say "Waiting".  Help!!

    Oh a few other things I forgot.
    The long winded back-ups!!!! JESSSSSSH! Although I think the latest update seems to have bit into this a bit.
    Also why is it that sometimes when the iPhone is syncing it will not say on the actual iPhone that it is syncing. I see it's syncing in iTunes but the iPhone doesn't have the typical do not disconnect -syncing message!!! What's odd is I can see the new apps being updated to the iPhone and as long as I don't open any apps it will finish it's sync but the minute I open any apps the iPhone will lock-up!!!

    Try restarting. If it doesn't promopt you with the power bar to slide it off, then follow the reset directions also listed on that page.

  • 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 ?

  • HT201412 My new IPad is frozen, that is, I was installing an app from WGHB to listen online and it frozen the whole system.

    As I said, my new IPad is frozen.  I was installing an app from WGHB Classical Music station and it froze.  It played music for some 30 minutes then stopped.  The app icon is frozen on the screen.  No touching or attempts to close it works.  I cannot access the IPad any more for this reason,.  It's inoperable.

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

    I hope you have a backup if you don't want to lose your iPad contents. You have to restore the iPad now using iTunes on your computer. That's what the message on the screen means.
    Take a look at this.

  • IPad is frozen, says needs backup, plugged in, locked, and on wifi. How do we get it going again, can't turn off, can't get to apps, what do we do?

    iPad is frozen, says needs backup, plugged in, locked, and on wifi.  What do we do?  It appears to be frozen.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.
    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    iPad Frozen? How to Force Quit an App, Reset or Restart Your iPad
    http://ipadacademy.com/2010/11/ipad-frozen-how-to-force-quit-an-app-reset-or-res tart-your-ipad
    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • My iPad s frozen with only iTunes icon and usb cable showing and cannot access anyhting. Can anyone help? - Apple won't

    Since receiving a iOS software update (6.1.2) my iPad has frozen and only the iTunes icon and a usb cable show on screen. I am unable to access any App. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction. this was raised with Apple and ticket number advised on 3rd March but not a word from Apple since.
    Thank you

    Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • My iPad is frozen with the message not enough storage.  Options are close and settings but it will not respond to buttons and will not allow me to turn it completely off.  How do I get past that message?

    My iPad is frozen with the message not enough storage.  Options are close and settings but it will not respond to buttons and will not allow me to turn it completely off.  How do I get past that message?

    Delete some apps, files, photos, videos, movies, etc to free up some space.
    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
