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!

Numbers constantly freezing and crashing since 7.0.2 update

This is happening on my iPhone and iPad. A very simple spreadsheet containing only text and numbers is crashing just from making small changes. If I extend a column, edit a cell, pretty much do anything, it will just lock up. Eventually it crashes or I have to manually kill it.
I was editing this same document on iOS 7.0 with no problem just yesterday. Anyone else notice a problem?

I got an email from the iWork support team and they asked me to try some things. The one that seems to be working is turning off all accessibility options in your settings. I only had two enabled: noise cancellation and guided access. I turned both off and have not crashed since. I even tuned both back on yesterday and spent about 10 minutes working on my spreadsheet with no problems.
Let me know if this helps. It worked on mine.

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?

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.

I have a ipad 64GB Wifi 3G and i can not get onto the internet, i have set up wifi but it wont get on the net

From your description above I conclude that the WiFi transmitter and receiver of your iPad appear to be working, but I abviously cannot tell how well they are working.
Have you reset your iPad already?
Press the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until only the white Apple logo appears on the screen - usually 10 to 15 seconds - ignore anything else.

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.

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

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.)"

RE: freezing and resetting problems when syncing a large music library

Hi there,
I got a new ipod classic 160gb for christmas. I updated the firmware to 1.0.3 and synced it for the first time. When I tried to play any music it locked up and went into a loop of resetting itself which I could only break by forcing the ipod into disk mode.
I restored the ipod and tried again syncing the music in chunks. This worked until the ipod was about 50% full then it started to freeze and reset again. I took this ipod back to the store but the new one had the exact same problem!
Through a lot of trial and error I have managed to get the ipod working with only part of my library synced. By syncing music a few albums at a time I have managed to get about 86gb (of 120gb) onto it, but surely this is not how it is supposed to be! I have a dual boot system and have the same problems using windows XP or vista.
I know that I'm not the only person experiencing resetting problems with the ipod classic. Are the users who are experiencing these endless resetting problems with the ipod classic those who have large music libraries (i.e over 80gb)? Can the ipod classic simply not handle the large volumes of music it was designed to hold?
The only features I was looking forward to in the new ipod were a) larger capacity hard drive and b) the ability to organise playlists into folders on the ipod for easier browsing. As it stands I cannot sync my full library and navigating through my playlists is so slow it is hardly worth bothering. I never had a minutes trouble with my 5th gen.
Have I been unlucky and the ipod classics I have recieved have been duds? In which case should I arrange another replacement? Or is this typical of the ipod classic user experience when the user has a large music library and many playlists? Should I await a firmware update that might remedy my problems?
Lastly am I doing something wrong? Any help or workarounds would be gratefully appreciated.

best thing to do is use Playlist and Smart Playliss to fill your iPod. Just so you know, since your post seemed to indicate you thought the playlists have to be tailored to what is already on the iPod, when you sync to playlists, any songs needed for those playlists are automatically moved onto the iPod. And any songs NOT in the playlists get removed.

try reseting the device

then replace

Freezing and resetting solution, playlists the culprit, take a look Apple

Hi there, I've had a major issue with my 160gb ipod classic from day 1.
I've got a 140g music library on my PC and I've not been able to sync it to the ipod because of freezing and resetting problems.. until today.
When I first tried to sync my whole music library the ipod crashed as soon as I disconnected it. I had to restore the ipod and soon learned to sync my music in 10gb chunks. Only trouble was the ipod would work fine as long as I only synced 70-80gb of music, which is half the ipod's capacity. If I tried to add any more music the ipod would eventually go into the freezing and resetting loop and I'd have to restore it and start again.
I know other users on here have had similar problems. Firmware 1.1 and itunes 7.6 did not fix the issue for me. I know that my mp3 files are not the problem because if I split my music library into two 70gb chunks I could sync either chunk without problems, it was only when I tried to sync them all...
Through lots of trial and error, such as reinstalling OS, reinstalling itunes, rebuilding library, scanning mp3 files for errors I have eventually found out what was causing my problem.
I have 100s of pretty complex smart playlists, they are heavily nested and dependant on other playlists. I've got them all organised into folders for easier navigating. This was one of the reasons I couldn't wait for the ipod classic to come out because my playlist folders would at last be recognised on the ipod. I recently added a pretty big playlist tree for playing songs from a given year and noticed that itunes got even more sluggish than usual!
I looked at my library file and it had grown to nearly 100mb. As an experiment I backed up my library file first than deleted all of my playlists. The size of the library file reduced to 34mb. I decided to try and sync more music onto my ipod without the playlists... and would you believe it I've been able to sync my whole music libary to my ipod for the first time - no freezing and no resetting!
I would hazard a guess that the ipod classic firmware currently has an issue syncing lots of complex, nested playlists. I've fed this back to apple and hope they can come up with a solution. I hope it's not an issue related to the reduced size of the RAM in the new ipods, otherwise there will never be a solution!
As it stands I'm gonna really simplify my playlists and keep my fingers crossed. I love playlists, they're a massive part of the whole ipod experience for me so scaling them back will be a real trade off but if it stops the resetting problems I'll have to do it. This is working for me so far so good luck to everyone else who has been having similar problems.

thank you so much for this information. I can not tell you, how helpful your posting is.
I had exactly the same problem, and I did follow your instructions - and for the first time in almost 3 month (and after hours and hours spent on my computer to try to resolve this problem), I am able to utilize the full capacity of my 160 GB iPod Classic.
It is very unfortunate, that I am currently not able to utilize my Folders and Playlists (just like you, I have hundreds of them which are a huge part of the iPod Experience), but at one point, my iPod was no longer able to start up and got stuck in a 're-boot' loop. After removing my most complex smart playlists, the problem disappeared (I did not remove them from iTunes, but I no longer synch them to my iPod).
So again, thanks for posting this information, and thanks for contacting Apple. I really hope, that this issue will be resolved in the next Firmware release.
FYI for anybody else who might read this post : Using the Tinker Tool (free download) makes it very easy to monitor/view the hidden files on your iPod.

Freezing and resetting

Hi,
Had my BT Vision box for about 18 months now mostly trouble free but recently it has started to freeze and reset itself. I have checked and the system still has plenty of free space on the hard drive.
Can I get the box exchanged for a you view box or for another box?
