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

  • My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo (iOS 5.1.1)

    My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo. Why is this happening and is there any way to fix it? It's not jailbroken, so I guess it's not malware

    I have iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi Ratina display.
    My device restart automatically.
    First it was blue screen on display. I try resetting it with Hold down the sleep and home keys, after seeing Apple symbol on screen. With this trick now i can see display but still if i try to open any application it got automatically restart.
    Please give me suggestion what would be my next step?
    I purchased this device last year. So if i need to send for repair it comes under free service or i need to pay some extra charge for it?

    You've also tried restoring to your last backup and/or resetting back to factory defaults ? But you may need to contact Apple. If it's the 4th gen iPad then it should be covered by the 12 month warranty (it hasn't been dropped or anything ?), as they were only released in November.

  • 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.

  • New Ipad (4th gen) crashed/froze three times in the last few hours.

    Thanks

    Try and force your iPad into 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.

  • My iPad 4th G occasionally crash and restart by itself. Some apps could also crashed, such as Adobe reader, QQ, mail, etc.

    It could happen any time, for example, when switching apps after double clicking home button, or when running apps. Any app could cause this auto-restart. It looks to me that the CPU become too busy then the iOS crashed. The screen turn black with apple logo for a while, then the lock screen come back. How can I fix this? Or Apple need to upgrade iOS 7 to make it run smoothly on iPad 4th gen?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • IPad 4th Gen and Safari crashing, plus running like a slug after IOS7 upg

    Since I updated my iPad 4th Gen with the latest IOS it has become the worst piece of electronic equipment I own, I received in February as a birthday present and now I feel it’s totally useless.
    Safari crashes constantly, it takes forever to open any url I try to go to, I have multiple I mean multiple tabs/ or whatever they call them now that I just cannot close, Its runs like a dead slug, it’s so slow, it’s a absolute nightmare.
    I would actually liken it to the early days of Microsoft’s first attempts at windows, yea I know I said it. I’m typing this on my Windows 8 pc and you know what it actually works very very well. Unlike my nice new IPad, which after the update does not, the problems are too numerous to mention. What are apple doing about it ?  and has anyone found a solution - fix - workaround please.

    I'm having the same issue.  Safari is useless.  I have tried numerous things to try to fix it and it is not working at all.  It's slow and I can't close any tabs either.  I just got my IPad 4 three weeks ago so I feel your pain.  I wish Apple would fix this.  I use Chrome and Mercury apps for browsing and they work just fine.    However, I have no problems on my IPhone 4s with the update.   

  • Ipad 4th gen restarts randomly

    Ipad 4th gen restarts itself randomly. Any one have any thoughts on why or what to do?

    Well, if removing suspicious apps and restoring didn't stop the restarts, the last two things to try are recovery mode and then taking it to an Authorized Apple Service Center.
    Here's how to do recovery:

    I suspect recovery will not change the behavior.
    Here are the service providers:
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider
    ... or if you live near an Apple Store, that would be even better.

  • Ipad 4th Gen Siri runs by itself and reboots by itself

    Ok SO I have this wacky Ipad 4th gen that was stuck in reboot mode with low battery.
    I got past that and restored the Ipad now the thing will start Siri all by itself without me touching the home button and some times for no reason it will just shut down and restart by itself.
    It seems on occasion the Sleep/Wake button will not communicate with Ipad or possibly teh Home button is stuck or something ad I have found that SIri starts all by itself and I cannot back out of apps some times by using the home button.
    Could it possibly be something going on with teh home button itself and how would I go about testing it and possibly fixing it? Are they connections that can be cleaned with electrical contact cleaner? I have a couple different types that I use on my Peavey Amps and my Behringer Mixer so I know they are safe for plastics and switches, buttons , linier sliders etc..
    I was in process of buying this from my neighbor then his wife wanted it back and it started erroring so she opened it and I am not sure if possibly it could of damaged a Ribbon or possibly teh memory cpu?
    I cannot see anything obviously wrong with ribbons etc. Except the Digitizer cable did get bent and kinked a bit but it seems to work fine.

    If the neighbor's wife opened the iPad up for any reason at all, I surely would not want to purchase it now. She may have done damage to it and I wouldn't take the chance.
    If you don't want to shell out the cash for a new device, buy a refurb from Apple and get something reliable or some thing that at least has a warranty of some kind.
    Leave the iPad and it's repairs for your neighbor and walk away.

  • Recently updated ipad (4th gen) to 8.1 and iCloud not syncing Contacts, Notes etc.

    I recently updated my iPad 4th gen to iOS 8.1 and upon setting up the iCloud, I've found that myiCloud data is not getting updated in my iPad. I o not see my contacts, notes safari bookmarks etc. I signed into iCloud.com from a PC on chrome to see if i had accidentally deleted the stuff, but it's all there. It was working fine when i was on ios 7.0.6.  I also have an iphone 5s running ios 7.0.6 on which the icloud runs very fine. i make changes on my phone and they are reflected on the browser in my pc (eg: notes edit on the iphone 5s shows a change in my browser on pc, also changes done using browser show in my iphone, but not iPad). I have tried restoring my  ipad to a clean ios 8.1, switched on and off the icloud options, signed out signed in, restarted, but nothing seems to work. My contacts, notes are empty.

    Try reset iPad.
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • My ipad 4th gen 32gb keeps crashing everytime i use a app that deals with a map?

    I updated my ipad 4th gen 32gb to iOS 7 and since then anytime i use a app that deals with a map it crashes for instance find my iphone, find my friends and the built in map app on the ipad. I restored the ipad when it first started happening and its still doing it. I do the soft reset and it seems to do not a thing to help out the matter. The first time it happened i was using my built in map app and the ipad started crashing and wouldnt stop, it went on for like 3 hours kept turning on and turning right back off when it turned back on and it would do that for the whole 3 hours it probably crashed and turned back on 200 times. I had to do a command reset using itunes on my macbook pro to get it to stop doing it and ive not used the map app since because of it. So recently ive used find my friends and find my iphone and it would crash my ipad once and when it came back on it wouldnt crash again so i would just go and kill the app that caused it to crash.

    I restored my ipad as a new ipad deleted all the backups for the ipad from my itunes and then set it up as new and put all my photos and music and apps back the way they was and i havent really messed with the apps with maps in it but the crashing is still happening and its happening inside the settings app id love if someone could help me out its starting to get pretty annoying. Thanks.
