IPad keeps freezing

My iPad is less than a year old, and suddenly it's freezing -- can't even turn it off, for several minutes.  Just now I got it off, rebooted it, and then it froze again.  Why?!?

Why is it happening? That is so hard to determine and actually you would be the best judge of what could be causing it to occur because you are the one that is using it. Do you see any pattern that involves the use of certain apps? Does any sequence of events seem to trigger it?
When you reboot/reset, are you using the hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen method of rebooting/resetting the iPad?
Have you tried closing all apps and then reboot the iPad?
Closing apps in iOS 7....
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 thumbnail to close it.
Closing apps in iOS 6 or 5....
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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 when you are done.
Rebooting the iPad in any iOS....
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Ipad keeps freezing .... Even after hard reset . . . Reset back to factory . . Etc.    is it dead?

    Ipad keep freezing up ?? Even after all the resets . .  Etc.  am I toast ?

    "so I did a hard reset, tried to restore it. But not I cannot not even open my iPad"
    Just to reiterate what Tedfixit said - I would book an appointment at the Genius Bar as well. If you restored it and it is still acting up, the device should be evaluated.

  • My iPad keeps freezing!  Any idea why?  iCloud storage is completely 100% available.

    My iPad keeps freezing.  iCloud storage is completely empty.  I have 2.3 GB available of the total 13.6.  Please help!!  This is starting to become a pain in my butt.

    With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. I suggest that you delete some stuff to allow for more free space on your iPad. It will run better.

  • TS3274 My iPad keeps freezing then it plinks andi lose all of my ( sites that I have open ) please help

    My iPad keeps freezing then it plinks andi lose all of my ( sites that I have open ) please help

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • HT5137 My ipad keeps freezing

    My ipad keeps freezing. The home button doesnt work and there is space left on the ipad. Turning it off and on again only works in so far as I can access 1 app before it freezes again. Can anyone help please?

    Hope this helps, I have narrowed down my iPad freezing issue to downloading movies at least in my case a rental movie. 60 seconds after turning on my download my iPad freezes. initially did not notice this because I thought it was already downloaded in the background. But when I tried to watch the download I couldn't. So that she had tried pausing the download, and guess what no more freezing. Restart the download and 60 seconds later it freezes again. Not sure why this is happening but that seems to be the solution for my ipad. I will try to update after contacting Apple and figuring out a solution.
    out to do this I reset my iPad using the technique of holding the off button and home button for 10 seconds. Then when it rebooted I immediately went into the iTunes store and purchased tab and then pause the download of the movie. In my case it was the movie loan survivor.

  • It seems that since I have downloaded the update that my ipad keeps freezing up

    It seems as though every since I download the new update my ipad 7.0.6 keep freezing anyone having this problem

    Try taking a "fresh start" approach. Close all of your apps and reset the iPad.
    To close an app, 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.
