IPad 3rd gen crash and power off issue

I have ipad 3rd gen iOS 7.1. In the past few hours when using internet(safari or chrome), Netflix, and games some weird things happen.
1. Screen goes black for a few second then returns to lock screen. And/or
2. 'Slide to power off' appears at top of screen along with an X to cancel at bottom of screen and/or
3. Continually get pop up to login to itunes.
All of these things have occurred independently of one another and sometimes they all occur within a matter of seconds.
I have tried: rebooting, logging in to itunes when it think I am not logged in, uninstalling and reinstalling apps, resetting itunes password, and now reading forums.
Suggestions? Feedback? Solutions? Anything would be a great help right now. Thanks!

You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
Then try a reset:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

IPad 3rd gen crash/freeze up

So my iPad 3rd gen has been crashing in the middle of any and everything constantly. Then it starting freezing up needing to be restarted. Then this crazy thing happened and it freaked me out because I didn't know this could happen. What in the **** do I do? Is my iPad dead? Do I just get rid of this one and buy a new one? HELP!!

Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu button until Apple Logo comes on then wait you will not lose

IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps

When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?

Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

New iPad (3rd Gen) crashes ALL THE TIME

So I have been using my new iPad this weekend, and it crashes all the time - the specific programs. I cannot access simple things like in iBooks and other programs without a crash. I dont know what to do other than to return it. I sold my iPad 2 and now wish I didnt.
Is this somehow just my iPad or is this an issue with other people??

I got myself two new iPads, one for me and one for my son (replacing our iPad(s) 2) and I installed tons of apps and other content to both iPads, no issues whatsoever.
Have you used an old backup to install your stuff on your new iPad? If yes, please do a full recovery and install everything again, not from the backup.
If this doesn't work, your iPad must be defective.
The only complaint I have is the slow charging.

IPad 4th Gen crashing and restarting automatically.

Sometimes, screen flickers prior to this, as if it were overheating. Already restored to factory defaults. Nothing. Works fine when idle, but crashes when i attempt to do anything. Any ideas?

Have you tried closing all apps in multi-task window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

I keep getting the iCloud sign in pop up even after I put in my password. I tried turning off iCloud and it won't let me. I have the IPad 3rd gen. Can anyone help?? I did change my password and it's still happening!. Thanks :)

Ever since the IOS8.2 update my iPad keeps popping up with 'Sign into Icloud' if I sign it it still pops up
i I have changed my pw twice and it's still happeninf
I even tried to turn off iCloud
i have iPad 3rd gen
does anyone have a solution?
thanks

I am having same issue on my iPhone 5s. Whenever i am trying login to iCloud from my device setting it's asking for apple id password & every time showing incorrect password verification failed but in fact the password is correct.
When trying to restore my iPhone from my PC iTunes backup it's asking to turn off Find my iPhone from the device iCloud setting. When i am going to turn it off from device iCloud setting it's asking for apple id password then a notification showing "verification failed, the connection to iCloud timed out.
I never faced this on any other iOS version other than iOS 8/8.0.2
Very disappointing iOS

My Ipad 3rd gen kept shutting off and we would have to restart and log back on to internet with password. So backed up to icloud and did a restore. It could not complete the restore. No luck at Genius bar. Can trade for a new one for 299. any ideas to fix

Ipad 3rd gen kept shutting off. Had to restart and log back on to internet with password. backed up and did restore.
could not complete. Took to Genius bar and they could not either. Said we trade with $299 for another one.is there
someplace to get these things repaired. It was 4 months out of warranty.

Yet another quick follow up to something I have stumbled upon with this issue. If I connect to my Airport Extreme on the 5Ghz channel, Dictation continues to have issues. However, when I switched to the 2.4Ghz channel dictation has been working great now for a while.
The dictation option is still missing under General>Settings>Keyboard however.
Not sure at all what one would have to do with the other? but hey, if it's working then I'm going with it for now. :-)

IPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off.

I have a iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off.

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
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, if you have IOS-7, read this.

IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes. Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store. Nothing works. This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

Safari issues, iPad 3rd gen iOS 5,1,1

Right, I bought an iPad 3rd gen and I've been having to reset it 2-3 times daily because of this issue.
When generally surfing the web, doesnt matter what sites it seems, safari just decides.
I'm not going to load the link you just clicked on :P
The site address changes, a small portion of the progress bar turns blue and nothing. It just freezes.
Nothing I've tried (clearing all caches etc) makes any difference, except a reset. Quite annoying.
I had no such issues on my iPad 2.
This issue doesnt appear to be limited to safari though. I've had problems with lovefilm and my speed test app as well so I'm guessing its a general wifi problem.
After safari froze I decided to check the speed of my connection. It didn't come back with a ping, I waited 10 mins still nothing.
At the same time my iPhone (4s) with the same app came back with a ping of 30ms and d/l speed of 15MB/s.
I'm now confused as to whether this is a software or hardware issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Swingflaps-
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

IPad 3rd gen battery indicator issue

Hi.
My iPad 3rd gen started behaving odd not long after updating to iOS 6.1.3. While discharging, as soon as it hits around 30% mark the battery indicator makes an instant drop to around 20% mark. Every single time.
The time usage is still very good, almost 14 hours from 100% to 0. (I don't use games or push notifications)
I've already done a restore and set as new iPad and the issue dissapeared for only 1 charging cycle, then reappered again.
I've also done 3-4 'calibrations' for the battery, meaning completely running it down and then charging it to 100%. Nothing changed.
I've restarted it several times by holding both home and power buttons and still no good.
I also mention my iPad is in perfect shape, a mechanical issue is out of the question. Regarding the charging cycles, despite using it daily, I suppose I haven't passed 100 cycles, so it's not even near its life span.
Any answers that can help me understand this anomaly are welcomed.

I tested using two Battery Utilities (now battery says 98%) Boost Magic says 100% and Battery Magic says 96% so here is the summary none agree.
iPad indicator 98%
Battery Magic 99%
Boost Magic 99%
Not sure which is correct or why it read 95% when I looked at it this morning then reverted to 100% after turning off and then on again.

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.

Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

(iPad 3rd Gen. Wi-Fi) Lack of charging capability while plugged in and in use

Hey all.
For some reason, it has come to my attention that while my iPad (3rd Gen. Wi-Fi) is plugged in (to a standard outlet from the stock charger out of the box) and in use (no battery saving settings; ie. dimming the brighness), it will charge the battery any significant amount. For instance, when I am using it to watch YouTube videos over Wi-Fi while charging it as well, it was at 10% charge, but after...maybe an hour or so, it was at 11% charge. Curious, no?
Is this a problem that should be of any concern? Or should I simply turn it off while charging it? Thanks for any help.
...Why isn't the New iPad listed in "products?" Meh...
Cheers!

IPad (3rd Gen) From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it.

iPad (3rd Gen) which I purchased 3 week back in Bangalore. From last one week it's screen jumbles up at times and also getting some burning smell out of it. Any idea what could be wrong?
These are the some of instances of screen jumbling I faced
1) all the app icons stacked up on top left corner. I could move them anywhere on the screen but could not start the app. Later killed all apps and starting iPad rectified it.
2) starting any app was giving blank screen, restart rectified it
3) home screen and lock screen both merged up. I could see both of them together whenever I swiped on the screen. Again restart rectified it.
Can I get replacement of this piece, I believe there is some serious hardware issues in it.

Handed over iPad to support group named "imagine"in Bangalore Saturday evening. There is no direct support available from Apple in India. Know what.. These "imagine" guys are highly incopetent..
When I checked the status in evening, their reply was that there is no issue with iPad, even though burning smell was still threre if I keep the nose close to iPad, but during working for 4-5 hours it starts building up.
When I asked how did they tested it, reply was that they kept playing games on my iPad and they didn't find any issue.. Rediculous answer..
They even didn't bother to open up the piece or running test of full CPU/RAM and Graphics utilization. Now asking me to take it back to wait for either complete breakdown or burndown, no matter where I am.. Airport, hospital, client meeting..
I use my iPad mostly for client presentations, I don't want to be in a situation that the display again jumbles up during a demo session giving impression that the problem is with our application..
I wish I wouldn't have invested in this device through BYOD program..

How do i delete photos on ipad (3rd gen) and keep on pc

How do i delete photos from my ipad (3rd gen) but keep safely on my pc and how can i be sure all photo's / videos taken on my ipad are stored in iCloud??

don butler,
Sync them off maybe a little confusing because there is no menu selection or button that says, "Sync Off Photos"
When you synced with iTunes you went to the photos tab and selected albums to copy to your iPad.
To remove whole albums, start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab.
Then DESELECT the albums you no longer want on the iPad.
Clicking on Apply or Sync will then remove the unwanted albums.
To remove only certain photos that are inside albums is a little different.
Before using iTunes on your computer find the folder or album that has the photos you want to remove. Then move those photos to some other location on you computer or, if you want, delete them entirely.
Finally start iTunes on the computer, connect and select your iPad and go to the photos tab. Make sure all of the albums you want on the iPad are still selected. This includes the albums that you just edited by moving or deleting photos. The click on Sync or Apply.
The sync process wil examine each album, compare it to what is on your iPad and make the necessary changes. If you added photos to the folders on your computer they will be added to your iPad. Conversely, if you deleted photos from folders on your computer they will be removed on your iPad.
Hope this helps.
