My iPad gets stuck...cannot cancel or send message in mail

My iPad gets stuck...cannot cancel or send message in mail

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail 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 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 also do 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.

Ipad gets stuck in "backing up" during sync. How do i get sync to work?

I updated my version of Itunes. I plugged in my Ipad to sync and it also needed an update to its software. It extracted the software and then moves to "backing up", but gets stuck for hours w/ only appx. 5% of back up complete. I have cancelled sync and tr-tried this several times and the result is the same. I deleted the old back ups. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Itunes is version 10.4.0.80. Version on Ipad shows 4.3.3
thank you

This happens to me often. I am unable to pin down what exactly causes it but I have discovered how to get it to sync. I delete the iPad backup from within iTunes and then hard reset it (by holding the top button and home button until the screen turns off) and then I force quit iTunes. I then restart iTunes and plug in the still-turned-off iPad allowing the connection with iTunes to boot up the iPad. From here, the sync will almost always work, albiet after a long backup process. This is normal, I believe, because iTunes needs to rebuild the iPad backup from scratch. By the way, I'm assuming you're on Mac OS X. I have no idea if this would work in Windows.

After updating Firefox and Java, Firefox gets stuck loading,will not work, and I have to use End Now to exit it.

I started to have problems after I updated Firefox and then I did a Java update, hoping this would help. Firefox will not finish loading, it gets stuck, I cannot go to websites with it, it is stuck. Then when I try to close it down, I get the message that it is not responding and I have to use" End Now". I am having to use Internet Explorer as my browser, which works fine. My computer is a six year old quite feeble PC with a 37GB hard drive with only about 5GB of available space left.

Yes, you will lose all your data stored on the sync server if you reset the sync (recovery) key.
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
Is the password manager working properly?
You can find the sync password and the sync key in the password manager on the computer where you originally created that sync account (email).
*Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: "Saved Passwords" > "Show Passwords"
Look for:
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Password)
* chrome://weave (Mozilla Services Encryption Passphrase)

Why is my iPad getting stuck during backup

I am trying to update my iPad (1) in itunes and it's trying to back up first. I can't get through the backing up process because it appears to be getting stuck. I have no idea why this is happening. HELP!

Friends,
You should set Send&Receive using your mobile number and/or email account in your iPhone.
In your iPad, make it different to Send&Receive. If you set as the same as your iPhone, the messages also appears in both devices.
Eg.: iPhone: Send&Receive from 123 456 78
IPad: Send&Receive from [email protected]
Hope it will be helpful

Safari gets stuck loading pages and cycles indefinitely

I am new to Macs. I am using Safari to trade stocks and many of the pages I use must be refreshed every few minutes. These pages are located in etrade.com, ameritrade.com, google finance and yahoo finance. At any single point, I may have up to ten or so tabs open in my window and refresh each as I need. However, Safari will have a tough time refreshing the pages most of the time and will get through about half of one, then get stuck and start cycling indefinitely. At that point, I need to stop loading, reload/refresh the page a couple more times, each time Safari getting further along and getting stuck again, until the page properly refreshes completely. I understand that I am using a lot of pages at once. But that should be no problem and should have no affect on the browser and other pages. I have a 2.93 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD hard drive. The computer has no software on it so far. No music, nothing so far. I've never had this problem with Mozilla or Explorer on PCs. Even this Apple page had to be reloaded, now that the problem has spread to all pages I browse online. I have no other problems with the notebook. Does anyone know what's going on with my browser and do I need a software update or need to get the computer flushed and everything reinstalled? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the forums!
Try this:
(First, if yours is an Intel Mac, check that Safari is not running in Rosetta, which is enough to slow it to a crawl.)
Adding DNS codes to your Network Settings, should gives good results in terms of speed-up:
Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu. Click on TCP/IP and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' enter the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(An explanation of why that is both safe and a good idea can be read here: http://www.labnol.org/internet/tools/opendsn-what-is-opendns-why-required-2/2587 /
Open DNS also provides an anti-phishing feature: http://www.opendns.com/solutions/homenetwork/anti-phishing/ )
Whilst in System Preferences/Network you should also turn off 'IPv6' in your preference pane, as otherwise you may not get the full speed benefit (the DNS resolver will default to making SRV queries). If you want to know what IPv6 is:
This is Apple's guidance on iPv6:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8708.html
Click on Apply Now and close the window.
Restart Safari, and repair permissions.
If that didn't do it, then try this as well:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions (in Disk Utility).
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

My iPad gets stucked in the last step of the sync with the computer.

When connecting the iPad to the computer the iTunes starts, reconizes my iPad and starts the sync of the iPad.
It syncs the contacts, calendars, pictures, music, etc, but in the last step (7th; "finishing Sync") it stucks and stays for ever without finishing.
I cannot load a previous backup because as soon as I connect the iPad to the computer the Sync process starts and no button is available.
I've tried to load again iTunes to start from the begining but it is still saying the same, that the Sync process is finishing and is blocked there.
Any help?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Demo,
I've tried what you say but, if I'm doing it right, it doesn't work because after rebooting it goes again to syncing and stucks on the last step.
Nevertheless let me check if I'm doing it right; When you say "Before you restore from the backup, quit iTunes, ...." you mean "Before" or "After" because I don't understand how I could reboot the iPad BEFORE I restore from the Backup if it is already restoring.
Just let me write down the procedure to check that it is the right one:
1- I launch iTunes (iPad not connected) and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices, and I check the box to Prevent the iPad to syncing automatically. I click OK.
2- I quit itunes.
3- I connect the iPad to the computer.
4- I launch iTunes.
5- I go to Restore from Backup
6- Restore from Backup is finished
7- I quit iTunes
8- I disconnect the iPad from the PC
9- I reboot my PC
10- I reboot my iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons... iPad stars.
11- I connect the iPad to my PC.
12- I launch iTunes
13- I click on sync button.
If the procedure is right then my problem must be another one because when I do it and it starts syncing again the same problems comes back again and the syncing never stops at the last step.
Thank you anyway for your time and support.
Best regards,
Francisco

IPad get stucks on Step 2 (Back up) of sync

Hey guys, I have an iPad 2 and every time I've tried to sync this morning, it's gotten stuck on the Back Up portion of my sync. I've tried deleting previous back ups under Preferences<Devices. I've also tried restarting the computer/iPad... Things just aren't working out. Anyone have this problem before?
I'm running iTunes 10.7 and was able to already successfully sync this iPad on 10.7 previously. For some reason, it's just not working today. Also, I'm running 10.8.2 on my iMac.

I am having the exact same problem, same MacOS version. iPad 3 w/ iOS 6. Had this same problem a few days ago, I restored my iPad and it worked for a few days and then it happened again today. VERY frustrating as I obviously cannot transfer anything to my iPad.

I can't post to Craigslist....it gets stuck "loading"

I'm unable to post an ad on Craigslist.
The posting process stops and just displays "loading" and I'm unable to go to the next step.

I've had this problem on and off for over 2 months and finally just now...today....Feb 22, 2011, I finally decided to attempt to post an ad using Windows Internet Explorer and was able to successfully post my Help Wanted Ads without any problems.
This appears to be an isolated problem with Mozilla Firefox which is a shame because I like using Firefox! So if you are still having problems posting to Craigslist through Firefox, post it through Internet Explorer and you should not have any problems.

Safari stops responding and gets stuck loading a page

I have the latest version of Safari and it tends to stop responding, won't load a page and has to be forced quit. This only happened when I updated Safari. Can I go back to version2? Firefox works fine. From reading many blogs it seems to be a big problem. Could this knock Safari off the top spot for Mac users.

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 It shuts down, 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).
No data will be lost.

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!

Everything is updated!! iPhone, iPad, iTunes and MacBook Pro... All I am trying to do is drag content from my iTunes Library to the devices. iTunes gets stuck EVERY single time! What usually triggers the Non-Sense is when I am adding a 2nd file!
Why does iTunes SUCK??
1) Many items greyed out in the menu bar, for well over 2 years, maybe more!
2) I Can't drag more than one piece of content from your iTunes library to any device (iPhone, iPad)
If you do it gets stuck for HOURS and HOURS in "Preparing To Update" and the little activity circle never completes, ever!!
I used to be able to drag over 1000 tunes, movies, etc. go have breakfast come back and it would all be on my device!!
Can't do it anymore, one song at a time, maybe an album at a time, or one movie, and that is it!!
If you do a 2nd item the other items stop loading and never continue!!
This is so BAD, I don't understand how they don't have this fixed yet!!
Please tell me I am not the only one!!
...and If I am tell me how to fix it!
Very appreciated,
Joe

Syncing iPad to iTunes is getting stuck and frozen

I am running into a problem when trying to sync my iPad 1 to iTunes. It backs up of but gets stuck on the last stage, "Waiting for changes to be applied". I had been able to sync fine until loading iOS5. Does anyone have any idea how to clear this up?

iOS5 downloads safari browsing data during the sync process. This might be the cause. Go to Settings/Safari/Advanced/Website Data and delete everything.
I suspect this sync bug could be addressed in the upcoming 5.0.1 update.
