  • My iPad air either keeps crashing with blue screen or reboots it self. Other times it just locks up. It does not seem to matter what program or process I am doing.

    My iPad air either keeps crashing, gets blue screen or reboots itself. It does not seem to matter which program I am using or process I am involved with. Never had this program with my 3. I have the latest software loaded. Any help would be appreciated.

  • My iPod touch 4th keeps returning to home screen when on the internet

    This is a real problem!  I can't have more than two internet pages up at one time and if I try to open any other pages it returns to the home screen before thepage has even loaded. I constantly use my iPod for the internet, it's not much use if I can't open more than one page.
    I have used the soft reset- holding down the lock and home buttons at the same time- before and it has worked but now my Home button doesn't work at all so I have to use assisted touch, meaning there isn't a way to do the soft reset. Can I do the resset another way?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Safari amd Clear History, Data and Cookies
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why does my IPAD return to home screen randomly

    I am having problems with my IPad returning to home screen while I am in the middle of using it.  Any ideas how to stop this.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use..

  • My IPad Air is frozen with a white screen and Apple Logo on it.

    My Ipad Air is frozen with the white screen and apple logo.  I've tried resetting it several times and that doesn't help.  I tried connecting to ITunes, but it isn't recognizing the device. 
    The battery is fully charged, at least for now, so I am not sure what else to try.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • I have a new IPad Air and when I turn the screen nothing rotates anymore like it should

    I have a new IPad Air and when you turn the screen it doesn't rotate anymore

    First thing to check is to see if there is a circular arrow around a small lock at the top right of your screen next to the battery indicator. If there is Rotation Lock is turned on. You can turn it off in the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and find that icon in the panel that comes up. Tap on that icon to turn off Rotation Lock.
    If Rotation Lock is not on try a reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT201263 IPad starts but will not display home screen.

    IPad starts by will not display home screen.  Seems to be suspended but will not respond.

  • HT1414 My iPad will not progress past the home screen. My computer will not let me back it up. What can I do?

    My iPad will not progress past the home screen, and my computer doesn't allow me to download my data from it. What do I do? I wanted to try to restore it, but I don't want to lose my "stuff".

    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 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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose your "stuff" with Recovery Mode.

  • HT204266 My App Store keeps struggling to load up. Requests frequently time out and searches just don't do anything. If it does load up a search, the iPad closes down App Store, returns to home screen and, upon re-opening, the search has been deleted. Hel

    I've had my iPad (retina display) since last year. Over the last few weeks the App Store struggles to load on occasion and times out completely. When searches do rarely complete, the App Store closes down and returns my iPad to the home screen and, when I open the App Store again, it has just reset the store, forcing it to load all over again. I've tried closing all running background applications, with no difference being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
    2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close app
    4. Re-launch the app and test
    Note: If necessary close all apps in the Task Bar
