IPad freezes when I fly on airplanes.

My iPad freezes when I attempt to use it on an airplane. A hard reset doesnt fix the problem even after several attempts. Once the iPad has rebooted it gets stuck in reboot mode. Once I am on the ground it works perfectly again. Im wondering why this is happening?

I've never heard of this but if this is actually due to the aircraft, it's likely the pressure differential.  On the ground we are at aobut 15PSI.  Aircraft are pressurized to a max altitude of 8000 ft. or about 11PSI.  That 3PSI difference could cause a problem for any components/assemblies that can't equalize and have an air pocket in them, i.e. your ears.
FYI, the max altitude spec for the iPad is 10,000 ft. so you shouldn't be having any problems.  If this is repeatable, I'd return it for a warranty replacement.

    Pages for Ipad freezes when I try to delete a document. Documents start to flash on and off. Can't turn app off, or turn Ipad off.

    FWIW, think I found a solution to this problem elsewhere on this forum. Go to Settings / General / Accessibility on your iPad. Check to see if you have enabled "Bold Text" and if so turn that off. The iPad now restarts. In my case (and others) things are now back to normal with iWorks file management functions.
    I can now rename files, delete them, and do other file management tasks in all iWorks apps on iPad without the apps freezing or freezing the iPad. Would like to give credit to the user who posted that but can't find it at the moment - he claimed that an Apple Tech suggested the fix when he called about it, so they know about it and hopefully will get fixed eventually.

  • IPad freezes when skypeing, any solution?

    iPad freezes when skypeing, any solutions?

    Based on the limited info you provided, update iOS Nd the Skype app.
    First reboot the iPad by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • Ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

    ipad freezes when clicking mail, contact, calendars

    Still trying to figure out how to navigate these forum pages. For the last two consecutive days I have opened the default e-mail client on this iPad2 to find that the app will download all e-mail from my accounts and then freeze.  I have to hit the power switch to shut off and then restart the iPad -the I can open my individual e-mails.  Just like hitting control-alt-delete in the windows OS. Has the e-mail app been updated or something.  I haven't knowingly changed anything. By the way , registering for forums is a pain in the butt - I ahink i have screwed up myz old user name and will attack that separately.

    Also - this happens once and then after that I can run it ok for the rest of my session.  Power down and reboot then try e-mail and it freees, power down reset and it is ok. Has only been for the last two days.

  • IPad freezes when searching (or after using) Contacts app

    My iPad freezes when searching contacts and sometimes shortly after I've use the Contacts app. The behavior doesn't appear to be predictable, except that the freezing only happens while using or shortly after using the Contacts app. Are there any fixes for this?

    No fixes yet for anything software wise.
    Try a restart. Shut off the iPad by holding the home button and the top right button until you see the shutdown screen. Then turn the iPad on and try the contacts again. You can also try to reset the ipad's software to factory settings and restoring it.
    Do a fresh backup first.

  • Why does iPad freeze when I try to publish a video to YouTube?

    When I try to upload a video to youtube from my iPad, the screen freezes when I tap "publish." After several minutes, the YouTube dialog box finally disappears and the preview screen of the video appears with a "Publishing to YouTube" progress bar at the bottom. But the bar never advances and the video never gets published. Does anyone know how to fix? Never had a problem before upgrading to IOS 7.
    Why did Apple screw up what was a perfectly easy way to upload videos?

    First, try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

    You probably need to restore your iPad now using recovery mode. The frozen screen showing only the Apple icon is one of the classic signs that this is in order now. Read this for more.

  • HT201317 ipad freezing when saving edited photos

    After I edit photos in Photo Stream I try to save them to my Camera Roll and my ipad freezes up.   Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I don't think you can save a photo from Photo stream to Camera roll. So add a new album, then try adding the Photo Stream photo to the new album and it should also appear in Camera Roll.
