Ipad 4th gen restarting issue

My ipad has recently gone crazy, constantly restarting itself over and over until I can finally be fast enough to turn it off myself before it restarts itself again.
It is a 4th gen and I haven't downloaded anything new. Once I can get the ipad back on, the restarting issue seems to calm down until I go into the general settings and try to update my ipad to keep this from happening. I've tried to reset the ipad but this sends it back into restarting as well.
I even tried to connect it to my laptop to try and update via itunes but it sends it into restarting again as well.
I feel sad because its out of warranty and I feel like this is Apples fault with their latest ios 8 and if all solutions fail that probably means I have to trade it for a new one.
Is anyone else going through this nightmare?

I know I'm a week late, been real busy. But this isn't a forum for excuses.
I think I'm going to schedule a genius bar appointment because the iPad will not let me update at all. Once it downloads the update and gets ready to go through with it, then it begins on an ongoing restart cycle until I can be fast enough to interrupt it and shut it off.
I'm going to make the appointment but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they tell me I need to buy a new one.

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.

Is anyone having any uneven or discoloured screen issues with iPad mini or iPad 4th Gen?

Hello, in view of the fact that many users had screen discolouration issues and uneven backlight issues with the iPad 3rd Gen, I wonder if those issues have been sorted out. Has anyone here had any screen issues with the iPad mini, or the iPad 4th Gen?

No.

IPad -4th gen- Wi-FiDisplay Restart Problem

Hello,
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.

Attention to the apple developer, u need to check the issue about the iMovie which installed in an iPad 4th gen. Is having a problem during closing the app from the theater page to the home screen. It doesn't closes exactly severally...

Attention to the Apple developer, the iMovie which installed to the iPad 4th gen. has a problem when it's opened at the theater page it frequently couldn't be closed down to the home screen. The app page is actually blinking and cannot tap onto anything..

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Ipad 4th gen wont unlock

iPad wont let me unlock on main screen tried everything from a hard restart, to a factory reset with itunes but nothing still wont let me unlock from main screen. Any more ideas would be great with problem.
iPad 4th gen ios 8.1.2 or 8.1.3 not sure since i cant tell if i took after i factory reset it was on 8.1.2 before the issue.

If the touchscreen is not responding, and it appears that you have already tried to restore. If that didn't help, then you are going to have to get it looked at. You can double-check troubleshooting here If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support but if that does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, whichever applies to your location.

Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrinting

Hi,
I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
(Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
Device Configuration show this:
Installed Personalities and Options
PCL6           (20040201)
AirPrint
PCL              (20040201)
PDF              (20040201)
PS                 (20040201)
I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this might mean)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN, both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.

IPad 4th gen won't charge?

I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
but my iPad will not budge past 1%
I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

Hi Moll.x,
If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

I am not able to open or view PDF files on my ipad 4th gen.

I am not able to open or view PDF files on my ipad 4th gen.

Hello,
This looks this issue is specific to this particular banking site and we definitely want to know more to help resolve this issue. It is likely that this particular functionality is not supported on Firefox and I would suggest that you report this to the bank and request them to support it soon.
That said, there are a few things you can do from the details provided in the [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] SUMO article. Specifically, the section about [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] and reporting the website might help us provide more information.
If this is a banking site used by any of the other volunteers who are willing to dig more to find out why, they will try to provide the resolution sooner.
I know this is not really a resolution that will help you, but given that I don't have much information as to what is the offending part of the website causing the issue, I can only suggest this much.
Thank you

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 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.

Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

Any ideas on this ?
Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

Thanks so much for this post!
I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

IPad 4th gen.16 GB

Hello, everyone
I have an offer to buy used iPad 4th gen 16 GB. What I am interested in is next:
1: Is 16 GB model slower than others? (It shouldn't be but why not to ask)
2: Is there enough space to handle iWork and iLife applications and other 10 apps such as Dropbox, Skydrive, Logic Remote...??? I am asking this because I read that Retina apps take much more space than it was case with non-Retina apps.
Thanks!

Who offered to sell you their ipad? Why are they selling it to you? - Very possibly to buy one with more space?
If that's the case. then that will tell you something. Can you trust that they have never dropped it or had other problems with it?
Also, a 16 gb ipad does not hold as much as you think and you do not start out with 16 gb. Some are used up by apps that are in the ipad when you buy it and cannot be removed. Always buy as much space as yoou need because you cannot increase it.
I don't know if it's slower, but new ios updates and therefore app updates, will take up more space as the apps update to keep up with the ios.
I saw your list above, but very often, once someone buys an ipad and learns all they can do with it, the list of apps will grow My husband thought 16 gb would be more than enough (knew nothing about what they can do - deals only with IT at office if problems with computers, and our younger son in college thought 32 gb would be plenty. We're all happy we went with the 64 gb, though I realize that for some the 16 gb or the 32 gb can be enough.
The only place I would buy a used ipad would be from the Apple refurbished store (on line only.)
If you think you're getting a $$ deal check out the Apple refurbished store. All ipads from there come with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty, and they've been fully checked for issues. This person can give you the warranty, but it will only be good from the day it was bought from Apple.
The two ipad 2 64 gb we bought last year get lots of use and have been great. And it's great not to worry about space. (We waited to buy 32 gb when the 'new' now and quickly discontinued ipad came out, not thrilled with reviews but could not find new 32 or 64 gb anywhere when we decided. So for the first time we went refurb.)
Hope this helps. And enjoy whatever ipad you get.
