IPad air is freezing when switching on WIFI

Hi everyone,
I dont know if is related to the latest update to 7.0.4 but I have a strange problem/issue:
- after a period of sleep when I try to switch on the Wifi connection from Control Center - nothing happens - my Ipad doesn't connect at all
- in same time if I go Settings - Wifi - it just freeze there in the Settings menu without showing the wifi screen - I must 'kill'/close the Settings from all apps running to go back
- to solve the problem: I must restart the iPad
- another info: in the Diagnostics & Usage screen I have a lot of crashes like 'stacks+PReferences-2013-12-27-xxyy.plist' entries
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Catalin

It's happen again - aftewr 1 or 2 weeks after reseting Network settings - the same issue appear: not able to connecct and wifi and Settings - Wifi screen doesn't appear (Settings is freezing on previous screen).
The only solution: to restart my iPad.
Any hints?

  • IPad Air restarts itself when switching the apps

    I'm very disappointed. I bought my iPad Air in January, the first day I bought it, it already have the restarting problem. I went to the retail store last week, asked them if they can fix it , they checked it and said it's merely a bug and they fixed it. However, the restarting problem happened again right after the day. So I went there again. This time all they did was reset my iPad , which I can just do it at home by myself. But alright, as long as they can fix the problem. But no, my iPad restarted itself again, just couple minuets ago. What's wrong with apple? And by the way, for people who haven't buy the new Smart Cover yet, DO NOT BUY IT.

  • My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am un to date on the OS also.

    My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am up to date on the OS 7.1.1. Video and audio is froze on my end, only video freezes on the other end. It doesn't make a difference who makes the call either.

    No, there isn't any setting that you are missing. Have you tried force closing FaceTime, and resetting your iPad?
    In order to close FaceTime, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that does not make a difference, you could try resetting all settings, if you reset all settings you will have to enter all of the device preferences again in the settings app. That takes some time to accomplish, but you will not lose my data, media, apps or anything like that. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
    If that doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad first, restore the iOS, then restore the backup.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

  • I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2.  When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing).  If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad.  I don't know why.

    Hi were you able to resolve yours?
    I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
    Perform a hard reboot
    Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

  • IPhone 4S Safari freezes when switching tabs

    Hi.
    Mobile Safari in my iPhone 4S freezes when switching tabs.  This does not happen every time Safari is running, but it happened one too many already.  Safari freezes even if I only have one tab and wanted to create a new one.  The app would usually freeze while doing the switch, tho it also froze just before the tabs switch.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Please help.  Thank you.   

    User troubleshooting after a reset is a restore. First from a backup and if that doesn't help, then as a new device. Remember a restore will delete data from the phone. Make sure you have everything backed up and synced to the computer before attempting the restore. If that does not help, make an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar to check for hardware faults.

  • Facetime on my iPad 2 keeps freezing when I try to make calls.

  • Yosemite 10.10.1 - DNS cache does not clear when switching between WiFi networks

    Before updating to Yosemite, DNS caches would clear when switching between WiFi networks, as they should.
    For Example, when using an Exchange server, your server name might be something like mail.company.com. Outside of the corporate LAN the IP would resolve to the outside (WAN) address. When you move the laptop inside the corporate LAN, it should clear the cache so mail.company.com resolves to the internal (LAN) address.  This is just one example of a dumb DNS transition not taking place switching from outside to inside (and vice versa).
    Instead, OS X is holding onto the outside DNS record even when moving to the Corporate LAN. The only way to fix is to run the DNS cache command (which is MUCH more convoluted in Yosemite now), or more easily, to quickly turn off then turn on WiFi.
    This is an irritation as I have to perform this action every morning, and every time I come back to my desk from offsite.

    Well, clearing the caches is as simple as this, no?
    Clear MDNS Cache
    sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache
    Clear UDNS Cache
    sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches
    One other thing: Have you tried 10.10.2? There are many many fixes in 10.10.2 over 10.10.1.

  • Getting the "beach ball" freezes, when switched to Intel 330 120gb SSD in my blackbook (2006, C2D, 10.6.8)

    Getting the "beach ball" freezes, when switched to Intel 330 120gb SSD in my blackbook (2006, C2D, 10.6.8).
    But switching to Crucial M4 SSD, everything is just fine & great~
    Any genius, know why?
    Do I need to enable TRIM for Intel 330 SSD (Sandforce)?
    THX for help!!
    Info:
    MacBook (Black, 2006, C2D, GMA950, 4gb Ram, OSX 10.6.8)
    -Both tried clone OS & clean install OS

    I just installed a 120 GB 330-series Intel SSD in my late-2008 aluminum MacBook and I have experienced the beachball problem on a fresh install of Lion and a fresh install of Mountain Lion. I never saw this behavior with my old Western Digital 500 GB HDD. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to avoid the "freezes" associated with the 330-series SSDs?

    I have turned internet connection off + on no difference
    Can any one help?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.

  • HT4623 I recently switched from an original ipad to the ipad air. Now when people text me, the messages go to my cell phone and to the new ipad. I don't want my text messages going to both devices. How can I change this?

    Is there a way to stop receiving my text messages on both of my devices? I have an ipad air and an iphone. People text my phone number and it goes to my phone and the ipad, but this only started happening when I upgraded from the original ipad to the ipad air.

    If you do not want the text messages to go to the iPad (that is what I assume from your post) go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your iPhone number in there. Do this on the iPad.
    You can always just turn messages off as well in Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off.

  • IPad Air 2 freezes from time to time

    I had an iPad Air (1) for a year or so .... it never froze up. I moved to a new iPad Air 2 when it came out. It freezes up from time to time. Maybe a couple times a day, then I might go day or so when it doesn't freeze, and then it will do it again. The screen just freezes. I have to reboot it each time it does this. And there's no discernible pattern to what might be triggering it. It can happen in any app, or when I tap on any app.
    I know I can try doing a restore (I'd rather not... I really hate doing that... takes forever). I'll do a restore if this becomes a real problem. It's interesting that for the year I owned the iPad Air (1), it NEVER froze -- it was rock solid. In the couple weeks I've had the iPad Air 2, it's freezed up on me probably about 10 times. I'm hoping that perhaps an update will address this (unless, of course, I have a lemon).
    I'm wondering if any one else has encountered this.  Thanks....

    Same issue here. Have had it since Oct 24th and its happened about 4 or 5 times. No pattern or sequence of events just completely freezes. Only fix is to reboot using Home button and power switch. Hopefully the freeze is captured in the logs and sent to Apple (if you've allowed this in the settings) and Apple are aware of the issue. I've seen a few posts on various forums with similar problem and even a Youtube video showing the exact same problem.
    I hope it can be fixed with a software update !
