IPad 3G freezing under iOS 7.0.4?

I installed iOS 7.0.4 on my iPad 3G a couple of days ago, and since then, I've encountered a number of system freezes. Touch screen is not recognized, nor bluetooth keyboard - not even the power switch. It restarts itself after a (long) few moments, but freezes again a few minutes later. I had no issues whatsoever under earlier versions of iOS 6 and 7.
Is anyone else running into this issue? Any solutions or workarounds?
Thanks -

I am also encountering this issue. I have a company 3rd gen iPad 3G (Verizon)/wifi with the iOS 7.0.4, and a bluetooth ZAGG keyboard. Mine does it when connected to wifi as far as I can tell. I have to do a hard power down (power and home button for 7 seconds or so). It's happened a few times while I was on the Facebook app, but I can't remember what other apps. No keyboard response, no tap response, not even the power button alone, no home button response.

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!

Why is my iphone 5 rebooting and freezing under iOS 7?

My iPhone 5 worked perfectly every day for a year. Now that I've upgraded to iOS 7 it freezes frequently and reboots itself every few hours. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

I take it you've got the original iPhone 5?
If so, I highly recommend that you switch these off in Settings:
1) WiFi
2) Bluetooth
3) Mobile Data (internet usage via 3G etc)
Don't leave them running for long periods, they'll drain your battery at an alarming rate, even with Mobile Data turned on, your battery won't last for more than 3 days!!
Mobile Data is found in 'Mobile' in settings.
Also, some Settings that will cause a fairly gradual drain are:
1) Privacy>Location services>System Services - Turn off: Location based iAds, and Location Services (uses GPS)
2) GPS - Turn off
3) Change your Brightness to the second "s" in brightness
4) iTunes and Appstore settings - turn off automatic download updates if your really desperate
5) General>background App Refresh - Turn off
Note that some apps make extensive use of internet, eg. Facebook and Twitter and such, you'll have to manage these much tighter than normal. As in, don't leave them running in the background, quit those apps, as they'll keeping using the internet (checking for updates) when not in use by the user.
After you've done these, make a note of the percentage battery at the time, and leave it in sleep mode for an hour. If it's used about 1% or none, then you're back to normal battery usage, and it's fixed it.
Let us know what happens.

When scrolling in photos iPad mini freezes since ios 7

Will there be an update that fixes problems when scrolling in photos in ios7

No you're not the only one having this problem in fact many people are having it I spoke to Apple support today about it. First it is my opinion the aspect ratio is different on iPhone 4s compared to iPhone 5s, however I really feel it is a software issue. Just to make sure I am having the same problem you are I will describe my issue. I Have confirmed the following: if I Center an object on my iPhone 4s screen and open the picture while I am still in the app (open on the bottom left it)looks fine. But when I open camera roll and open that particular picture it's also fine
Until I scroll left or right it pulls the image to the left side appearing to cut off the left side of the image. After talking to Apple support today and my knowledge with Apple products I strongly suspect this is a software issue. Apple asked me to do a restore as a new phone but I'm not going to go through all that nonsense when I believe it's a software issue and not a hardware issue. So again to recap to answer your question you're not alone, theses sort of things are expected when they rollout a new iOS just hang in there and let's see if they put a patch out for next update.

How is it possible to cancel (not suspend) a video download from iTunes Store (iPad under iOs 6)? (I do not have sufficient storage space on my iPad)

Hi,
I am facing the following difficulty with my iPad (model MD369NF/A) under iOs 6.1.3.
I have bought 2 videos on iTunes Store, but I do not succeed in downloading them: an error message mentions that iPas does not have enough storage capacity.
As a matter of face, when I look at the way the storage is used, I find “Others” for around 10 Go (is there some king of reserved space for the downloading of videos from iTunes Store?), and only a very small number of Mo available.
I would simply like to cancel the downloading of the 2 videos, and hope that it would free the "Others" storage space (in the hypothesis that "Others" is space reserved for videos once downloaded), but I do not manage to do it. I can suspend the downloading, but I do not see how to cancel it.
Would you have a solution to propose ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nicolas

Hey Nicolas36,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. You'll want to connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes to follow the steps:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT4759 I just updated my iPad to the new ios and now it won't let me use iCloud. I have been in my settings and it says I need to agree to the new t&c's but when I click to do it my device freezes. Any Idea what I can do as I can't download new app either

Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch.

Problems with iPad Exchange Calendar Sync under iOS 5.0.1

Under the prior iOS, I had been using my iPhone (3GS) and iPad1 with my calendar (and mail) synching with my Exchange account without any problems.
Now, under iOS 5.0.1, my calendar synchronization and how invitations are handled has become completely erratic.
Fortunately, none of the actual events on the server have been corrupted.
But when I accept invitations on my computer, the invitations don't get cleared on the phone. And/or they mysteriously change to "grey" unaccepted events.
If I then accept an invitation on the phone, it does not get changed on the iPad. If I then accept it on the iPad, then the phone switches its status to an unaccepted event.
It is completely infuriating.

Templeton - I realized I'm not completely clear about your suggestion.
Do you turn off the calendar for the Exchange acccount under the Settings for the iPhone or iPad. Which I guess eliminates the account, and then you have to enable it again and get it synched down to the appliance?
I was debating trying this approach, and was encouraged that you found it to work.....
Thanks.
correct.

Is apple providing ipads under iOS 6? Even refurbished?

Hi,
My iPad 3 started to show strange behavior yesterday, pretending to "download" apps when I was trying to launch them, then failing to download them.
No way to close them, only delete them.
Thus I decided to restore the latest backup, not an update. I was under iOS 6 and don't want iOS 7 (aka Android).
Despite the fact I said NO to all update request, and to stop asking me about updating, it did.
Now I'm left with that 7.1.1 tablet. I'm very upset to say the least.
Since there is no way to go back to iOS 6.n, does anybody know whether Apple still provides iPads under iOS 6 in the refurbished program or are they forcing that iOS7 on each of them now?
Any link? I'm not willing to buy from eBay, only an official refurbished iPad under iOS 6.
Thanks for any help

To globally close this topic...
I found a Wifi64Gb with iOS 6.1.2 and will remain with this, just as I won't move out of Maverick for the same reasons (next OS/X is likely to get the same iOS7 "design").
No, Win95/7 did not excite me at all. Windows products are no OS to me, even though 90% of my developments are targeted at them (I have no choice).
No I never changed the interface of my software in a manner that the end user finds something totally different. The only adjustments were what was requested by my users, like menus, functionalities, but not the look and organizational flow.
I changed designs and/or way of using the software only for new products that started with an empty user base.
Yes, if I toss Apple in the future for Android or Windows it's because at least I would buy the "real thing", not an OS that then changes to be a pale copy of an already bad product, without questions asked, imposed and no way to get back.
At least when MicrobeSoft released the "ribbons" instead of the menus, you still could use previous Office versions and buy them, you were not forced to get the Ribbons.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

IPad 4 keeps freezing on iOS 7 please help

iPad 4 keeps freezing on iOS 7 please help.

Try to reset your device. The reset can help cure some odd issues that can crop up.
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

No more .doc conversion in iPad Pages 2.0 / iOS 7?

I have an ongoing need to e-mail Pages documents from my iPad as Word (.doc) files to recipients who cannot work with Word 2007 (.docx) files. That was never a problem before, when Pages for iPad used the .doc format, which any MS Word user could see and edit, regardless of generation. But now under iOS 7 Pages 2.0 has only the .docx export option, a serious problem for my situation. Is there a way I can get Pages to (re-)allow me to export as .doc files?

I do not think that pages exports any of the old .doc formats anymore. .docx is the current format.
Two things I can think of.
Your recipients can be instructed on how to download microsofts docx conversion apps. Then when the recipient opens a docx file they will be asked if they want to convert it. They click on yes and the file is converted to .doc.
Other option is for you to do the conversion on your computer then send the .doc file from there.
Maybe someone else will come up with a better answer.
