IPAD app closes, random

When using my iPAD 3 and working on an app, the screen will clear and go back to the main screen and the app will close. This is happening often and it's not normal. Has anyone seen this?

Your apps are crashing, so try this and see if it helps.
Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.

Ipad apps close spontaneously

I have an original iPad WiFi + 3G purchased in December 2010. I am running iOS 4.2.1. Very often apps that I am using close spontaneously and without warning. Most, but not all, of the time, the affected apps are ones that may be accessing the Internet. But some are games that I have downloaded from the App Store and play only "locally", not online. I have tried stopping all running apps in the multitasking list, but this does not seem to affect the problem. When the apps terminate, I am returned to the screen from which I launched the app. If I reselect it, or if I choose it from the multitasking list, the app will sometimes go back to the spot where I was when it closed; but at other times, the app will just reopen at its starting screen.
I don't know how to determine whether this problems is with the hardware, the operating system, or the apps themselves (which seems questionable since it happens with several different apps). Can anyone tell me how to proceed to fix this problem?
O.B.

Hello,
I have exactly the same thing - most apps open then close spontaneously. This happens across a variety of different apps and under different wifi connections. It affects me more than 50% of the time now and I can't use a whole bunch of apps because of this. Is this a QC issue with the appstore allowing in badly made apps or is there something inherent in the Ipad that makes it MUCH flakier than advertised.
I really have better things to do than to reinstall every app, seriously.

Ipad apps close immediately

My iPad has started closing apps as soone as I open them. I have restrted the iPad and it still does the sames thing,

Why my ipad apps closes without my past closed and they do not update my facebook??

Did you try downloading another app? Any free app will work or any previously purchased app that is not on your iPad will also work.

Apps Closing randomly

I have the iPad 1. Just recently, the Apps close randomly during use, especially with Netflix and the email application. I also cannot delete multiple emails without the app closing. The home button also doesn' t work, I have to press it several times before it takes me to the home screen. I did the software update, but still no improvement. Is it time to take it in for service?

Try a restore before you take it in for service.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

Most of my apps close just as soon as I open them. What do I do?

MY iPad apps close just as soon as open them. Need help

Do you have non-iTunes apps running on your device? Is your device jailbroken?
If the answer to both of those questions is "no", then try the following:
Double-click the Home key and swipe up on the thumbnails for all open apps
Reset the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
If the answer to either of the questions is "yes", then that is undoubtedly the source of your issues.

IPad mini acting strange. Apps open and close randomly. Any ideas?

My iPad mini acts strange. Apps will randomly open and close and I have no control over it. I have reset it to factory and started all over but it is still doing it. Any ideas on what I should do?

If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, 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 the on-screen 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 all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

Apps close spontaneously with iPad 1

Apps close spontaneously with iPad 1.
We have about 50 iPad1 and I have about 25 reports.
even after all the updates and full restore of the iPad closing apps like safari and mail while working out. For example during Powerpoint presentations really annoying.
How can I fix this?

How much free/available storage space is on the iPads. If almost full, may cause this.
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.)

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

Facebook iPad app randomly uploads a photo.. from two months ago?

I'm using an iPad 2, and the Facebook iPad app.
I uploaded a picture i took yesterday from my photo library to FB, and tagged my wife.
Oddly, the picture has comments attached to it from a photo I posted two months ago. And my wife's profile shows that old picture, and not the one I just posted.
My profile, however, shows the picture I just uploaded... with the wrong comments.
This seems to be happening with any image I post from the iPad app. It always seems to reference an old picture when appearing on someone else's profile.
This issue is NOT happening when using the app on the iPhone. Just the iPad.
Weird, right? Any ideas? Anyone else having this issue?

If the videos were not uploaded to the iPad - (and I'm never sure what that means to another user - synced from iTunes?)- and they were taken with the iPad itself, you will have to restore from a backup in order to recover the videos if they are really gone from the device.
If they are purchased videos and they are in your iTunes library, sync them back to the iPad.

Since recent updates, I have noticed that my apps close automatically when I am distracted. In some cases it is time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task I was doing. Is it possible to change a setting so the apps will stay open?

Since recent updates of iOS, I have noticed when using my iPad that my apps close automatically when I have to leave the room or am otherwise distracted for a few minutes. It is sometimes time consuming to sign back in and get back to the task where i left off. Is there a setting I can change so it will keep the apps open until I am ready to close them? Thanks for your help.

Did you have this problem before Restoring you iPad?
If you did then did you restore with a backup. You may have reinstalled something that is conflicting in this back up
If not then sounds like either something went array with the clean install or a hardware issue.
I know it's long winded but have you tired a clean install then downloading the apps again?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open, now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
