Ipad 3 freezes with IOS 7.0.4 intermittently -- this started with upgrade to IOS 7.0 and is getting worse I have 64 gb wifi
Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 and with each update since currently at 7.0.4 my iPad freezes up and the home key will not work and the only way out is to do a hard reset (power + home key held for approx 20 sec) and then your get the apple logo and it then takes approx 1 min then your log screen come back. It will work for sometime then it will lock up again. Happens approx once a day. I am also using a clam case with keyboard. I had a zagg keyboard but it stopped working due to the bluetooth issue with IOS 7 and was not stable enough. The Clam case so far had not had a problem ....yet.... but my problem still happens even if I have the keyboard turn off and just use the screen. I have seen it freeze with browsers and other apps not just wallpaper changes like I have see on the web that others had.
I have tried everything, clearing our memory, only filling up 1/2 way with apps, keeping my apps up to date, not running to many apps at the same time...etc
Any one still having issues like mine? Any word if Apple is coming out with a more stable IOS ?
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!

Problem started after I unintentionally downloaded some adware 4 days ago. After lots of aggressive ads slowed down my browser I downloaded and ran AdwareMedic which seemed to do the job and browser was back to normal. Then, possibly a coincidence, everything on the computer started running slower. I've backed up everything and have run a EtreCheck report.

Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2? My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now. I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service". My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular. I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result.
Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
Help? (and thank you).Hello razmee209. Thank you for your response. I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support. They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total. Same problem. I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem. I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too. In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
Everything else with the iPad works fine: WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem. I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet. I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
Thanks again for your response and suggestions. -
Why does my iPad Air shows no service on the top left hand corner? It has been working fine previously, the problem started after upgrading to IOS 7.1.2
If you are not using Cellular Data, turn it off.

When I try to download (and especially renew) a page with my rss-feed that I read with Yandex service, the browser freezes, and then the whole system freezes. It typically takes about 5-7 minutes to load a very minimalistic page, and I can't use my browser or my system during that time.
This started with the release of Firefox 5. I use it on Ubuntu. I haven't experienced similar problems with any other websites.
I have already contacted the Yandex team about the matter.
I guess it's just a little weird that one of the Yandex services won't work in Firefox, as Firefox comes with a built-in yandex-bar in many cases. And it sure is frustrating.
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your reply.Firefox Hangs

It does happen when I have multiple tabs open, but I generally have a LOT of tabs open so this is not new behavior from my browsing, Firefox is just not handling it anymore. All of this started with the 2nd-to-last Firefox update -- I refuse to do the new update because I'll lose an invaluable --to me-- add-on, ljlogin
Are you sure the multi-links icon on the bottom bar of your firefox window is enabled (ie not greyed out)?

Ever since installing on my 64bit Windows 7 install, Firefox has continually gotten more sluggish as time moves on, hangs for 10-15 secs at a time and just gets worse over time with the updates and everything. It was fast when I first installed, but over the last six mos has slown to a crawl.

My mail program does not update when I delete emails in my other email programs (i.e. it still shows messages in my mail inbox when I've deleted them). I think this started with Maverick? Any solutions?
one is gmail, one is a university email and they are both IMAP accounts (not that I know what that means)....

HELP PLEASE! I logged in with my iCloud account and merged her contacts with mine how can I undo this If i log out her contacts erase and stay on my iPhone and visa versa
One of you will need to migrate to a separate iCloud account, then you can delete the other person's data from each account.
To migrate to a new account, start by saving an photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll to your camera roll. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing errow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, provide the account password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
You can then each to to your iCloud accounts on icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account. -
My iPad 2 (with iOS 4.3.3) doesn't find the upgrade to iOS 5/6
I have an iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.3. It's connected to a MBP on Mountain Lion (10.8.2) with iTunes 11.0 installed, with the Apple account that always has been used for that iPad signed in.
I can't find a way to make the iPad upgrade to iOS 5 / 6 (I don't care much, just want the Netflix app that's now requiring iOS >= 5 to work again).
iTunes just shows "Your iPad software is up to date", again with iOS 4.3.3 on the device. If I click "Check for Update", I get a file browser (presumably to manually find an update to install).
I even downloaded the full iOS 6 update manually through cultofmac.com (iPad2,4_6.0_10A403_Restore.ipsw), but iTunes won't accept it:
"The iPad (name of ipad here) could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible."
I am out of ideas for how to make this software upgrade. Any suggestions are most welcome.
[1] http://www.cultofmac.com/191631/here-are-all-the-ios-6-direct-download-links-for -each-supported-idevice/You can connect your iPad to your computer and directly click on Update or Restore in iTunes and it will do the rest. (if you have high speed internet). but there is another way to restore or update to higher versions. You can download the firmware file (.ipsw). Connect your device to the pc and open iTunes. Hold shift (in windows. In mac I think it is another key) and click on Update or Restore. A window will appear and you should browse and open the firmware file you've downloaded. Rest of the action will be done by iTunes.
