IPad freezing after IOS4.2 - capacity issue?

I had roughly 1GB of available capacity on my 16GB iPad BEFORE installing the 4.2 update. I had a large photo library, mainly photos downloaded directly to the iPad from a digital camera, ie not synced to the iPad from my iMac via iTunes/iPhoto.
Anyone else have these general conditions prior to the install/update? I suspect that the low capacity may play a role here...

My iPad froze on update. I had to eventually kill iTunes (not responding, and not responding to a normal Quit from Activity Monitor). I believe it did not manage to complete the backup cycle. I had to reset my iPad. After about two hours of showing an Apple and an unmoving progress bar, my iPad started working again.
I suspect several things. I had very little disk space left on my Mac mini (~20GB). The Backup folder for my iPad and iPhone exceeded 30GB. Individual backups for iPad were over 13GB. I also had about 5 GB of photos from my camera on my iPad, put there with the camera connector. I suspect that was implicated also, and intend to remove them. However I did have a fair amount of space left on my 64 GB iPad.
Over the next evening I will correct all the capacity issues I can see, and resync my iPad. At the moment, the Video app and the iPod app claim they are cancelling sync, and are not able to be used. iPhoto took a fair while to update photos.I suspect I will find other apps in the same state.

When trying to update to new iOS my iPad freezes after I agree to Terms and Conditions

Why does my iPad freeze after I agree to the terms and conditions when trying to update to new iOS

I have no clue but I would wait several hours and then try again. I could be wrong but it's harmless.

Wifi on iPad freeZing after update

Hey F.hodgkiss,
Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity. I have also included the steps related to the symptoms you may be experiencing:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
Unable to access the Internet while connected to Wi-Fi
If you're using a public or commercial network, you may need to log in or subscribe.
Check to see if you have a self-assigned IP address:
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected and tap ( i ) .
If your IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, you may not be able to access the Internet.
If you do not have a self-assigned IP address, see if other Wi-Fi devices on your network have Internet access.
If they do not, consult with your network administrator or ISP for further assistance.
If they do, reset network settings on your device by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thanks,

4th generation ipad freezing after 8.1.3 update

After updating to the latest ios. I've had terrible lag time and it's been freezing up at least twice a day. I'm hoping to avoid a total wipe and I'm not sure if that will mange a difference anyway.

Hello kckids,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I see from your post that your iPad is having issues with becoming unresponsive since doing a software update. While you may need to restore the iPad to its factory settings, there are some troubleshooting steps prior to that.

IPad freezes after iOS 7 update, touch screen often unresponsive ... Please

Apple support - please post in plain English the exact steps you'd like customers to take to fix this. Simply doing a reset - pushing the round button and on/off button and holding down does not work. I've done this about. 20 times. Where do you go to do a factory reset? it sounds like a lot of people are having issues as the first open genius appt bar is Thursday in Dallas.

Hello L8T,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
For your first 2 questions I recommend the same thing. Force quit all the apps that are running:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
Then restart the iPad:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
As for the icons and background movement, that is called the parallax effect, and can be turned off by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion.
This article will give you more info on that:

Ipad freezes when watching hulu, netflix

For last 2 days, ipad freezes after watching Hulu, Netflix for 2 min. Can start again if I tap the bar across top but freezes again after a few seconds to minutes. ipad was working fine until 2 nights ago.

Shut down all programs that are running in the background.
1. Double-click the Home button to see Apps in background
2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close program
4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo
Suggest you perform Step 1 to 3 at the end of every day.

IPad crashing and freezing after 8 ios updates

My iPad 1 has been crashing and freezing after completing the most recent ios updates, what could be wrong?

Can there be any person who can say that Apple treats customers as valuable persons ?
Way how IPAD 2 users are treated, served and issues solved shows clearly how they just care of new purchases. All crashes, slowness, battery consumption, extremely bad user experience with slow and jamming UI etc... Anyway this is over now with me as I'm moving out from IPAD / IOS due this experience. Ride was a good but now its over as trust is totally destroyed by Apple.

IBooks 3.1.3 freezes after opening on ios 5.1.1(iPad 1)

I have an iPad 1(iOS 5.1.1) with iBooks 3.1.3. I mostly use the Pad for reading books and browsing.
I faced no problems whatsoever with iBooks in the past but since last night(17 Feb, 2015) iBooks freezes after a minute or two. I can open books during this timeframe but the pages freeze and I can neither flip to another page nor go back to the library.
Initially I thought it must be because of low memory but I have a 64GB iPad and there is over 25GB of available memory.
I reset the iPad several times, no luck there. I read somewhere that sometimes a specific books(or books) cause iBooks to crash but I don't think that is the issue as I haven't added any new books for over 2 weeks now.
I should also mention that I did connect the iPad to iTunes yesterday in order to sync two movies but all other syncs were turned off.
I'm really frustrated at this point and I'll be grateful for any input.

Probably best just to do that. You'll be able to read your books on laptop/desktops that way as well.

I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen. What am I doing wrong?

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 hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device. Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.

Freezing after overheat/start-up freezing... major issues

Hi guys,
Quick back-story is that my G5 runs my Pro Tools HD system. I left the control room for a while and forgot to turn the AC on. Yep, stupid. The room got very hot, but keep in mind... I have NO idea if this was part of the problem or just coincidence. I came back and the machine was frozen on the display-saver. I forced down, restarted and it's never been the same. I've tried every trick I know... resetting PRAM, verifying disk permissions, starting without extensions and I even tried to reinstall OSX, but it even freezes from the startup disk. It says the memory is O.K. in About this Mac.
So, I booted from the CD to see if I could do a verify disk from the CD, and it just freezes a couple minutes in every time. Every once in a while, I'll get it to start up properly.... then I'll launch a few programs and it just cold freezes after a few minutes. It's not a kernel panic or a spinning wheel... just a hard freeze.... mouse stops working, you know the drill.
So, I'm somewhat fearful that the issue here is hardware-related. I'm trying to continue to do an Apple Hardware test from the CD, but freeze-city.
I can generally sort my way though this kind of thing. I've had gobs of these over the years, but this seems different in the way it's behaving.
Yes, I can take it to a shop. Just wondering if anyone has any speculation or ideas I may have missed.
(More back-story, I run Pro Tools HD on the PXI-X cards, so I have to have a G5... Mac Pro won't work for me, so I could buy another used G5 if I had to, but it's the set-up that's the nightmare.)
Thanks for any help!

Hi WCR-
I'm somewhat in the same boat. If you see my threat (G5 2.0 DP June 2004 Won't Boot!) I am experiencing similar symptoms. I've replaced every component in my box except the power supply and both processors - and everything I experience leads me to believe the problem is a blown processor, the "1" position. Now my machine won't even see CPU1 - just CPU 0. If you can keep it alive long enough, download the disk image for Apple Service Diagnostic from apple.com and see if you can run diagnostic tests on the CPU's alone. That will at least answer that question.
Unlike your situation, I got the computer in a broken state, so I don't know if heat is what caused the issue.
I guess that doesn't really answer your question, but at least don't go dropping a boat load of money on a new logic board, because it hasn't fixed my problems - it probably won't fix yours either.

Only a small portion of my photos in Photo Stream on my iPhone go to the cloud then to my iPad. I only have 150 pictuures so it can be a capacity issue?? Any advice ?

Only a small portion of my photos in Photo Stream on my iPhone go to the cloud then to my iPad. I only have 150 pictuures so it can be a capacity issue?? Any advice ?

OK, so it's working the way it is supposed to. With any device that is retrieving photo stream photos from the cloud, it will only retrieve back to the time that photo stream was turned on for that device.
Now that you have it turned on, any photos you take will show up in photo stream for either device from now on.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,

FCP 4.0 issue - using capture now, freezes after 5 minutes

Capturing miniDV to FCP 4.0 using capture now on external drive. Never had any problems in the past, but now FCP freezes after a little more than 5 minutes of capturing. I have to force quit. When I find the file on my hard drive it's about 10 GB. Haven't used FCP in several months. Is it possible some settings got screwed up? No problem capturing via iMovie 4.0 so the problem doesn't seem to be with the drive.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Just to reiterate what Shane and David told you. Updating to QT 7.4 is probably not going to solve your issue. It might make things worse though. You need to do what they said and get your quicktime version they recommended. Now, if it works for you, fantastic, but there have been enough posts on this topic and chances are very slim to null that QT 7.4 will work for your version of Final Cut.
And please be prepared to do an erase and install if the archive and install does not work.
One more idea might be to use a program called Pacifist. (Search the forum for Quicktime and Pacifist) You may be able to use that. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong here.
