IPad Mini mail freezes

The mail on my iPad Mini has frozen 4 or 5 times since I upgraded to iOS 8.0. On these occasions, I cannot open or edit mail. Eventually, after a few minutes - an hour, the mail unfreezes.
Please advise on the remedy.

Does anyone have suggestions?
Is this another iOS 8.0.2 issue to be resolved by Apple?

IPad mini mail app display rotation

My iPad mini mail app rotation is locked. No other app or display is affected. How do I unlock? How did it get locked?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm pretty familiar with how my ipad works. There appears to be a legit bug with the software, at least for some users. When I load mail, sometimes it's stuck in one orientation, even if the rest of the ipad apps are able to rotate freely. I don't always notice it because sometimes the ipad is oriented in the same direction as mail, but other times it's not and when you start the mail app, the screen loads upside down. Switch to another app, back to right side up and so on. You have to either turn the ipad over, or kill the mail app by double tapping the home button and ending the program from the list of running apps.
After you do that, the mail app starts to rotate again normally when changing the orientation of the device. No reset is required, by the way, as is posted above - at least on mine. Killing the app alone is enough to 'fix' the problem.
I've seen a number of posts where someone posts the 'fix' as a solution to this issue, but I don't consider it a reasonable resolution. Even if killing the mail app works, the problem just comes back a week or two later, very randomly. So then you end up having to do the 'fix' over and over again whenever the mail app flakes out.
So, I'm wondering when Apple is going to actually fix this issue.

My front facing camera on my IPad mini keeps freezing up, just goes blank, why can I do?

My front facing camera won't work on my iPad mini, just freezes up or goes black, any tips on what to do?

Hi stella32,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Although written for iPhone, this article has some camera troubleshooting tips that would also apply to iPad and may help:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Cheers,
- Ari

Ipad mini mail account

Hi, I have just bought the new iPad Mini, and when I try to set up my pop mail account, it comes back with an error saying that the SMTP server doesn't work with SSL activated, and asks if I want to try with this off. If I select yes, it attempts to verify forever and there's no way to stop it. If I choose no, I can then change the settings of my ingoing and outgoing server details but it still freezes when I hit save and it tries to verify.

Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

IPad mini mail question

My home wifi is working and I can receive mail on my iPad mini but it will not send mail. It gives me a message that says an error occurred while delivering the message. Help?

No I wasn't talking about the email account you are using - I was talking about the email address you are trying to send to....are you having the problem with all email addresses that you are sending to, or a specific one?
And have you tried to send an email to your own email address?
If so, what happens then?

TS3899 ipad mini mail

How do i log out of my email on aol when i am using my ipad mini. even if i cut the thing off when i turn it on it just goes back to my aol mail. help

You can't log out of your email account in the mail app on the iPad. That's just the way that the iPad works.
however, I'm not sure what you mean by "if you cut the thing off, it just goes back to AOL mail". Are you saying that if you restart the iPad, the mail app opens again? If you quit the mail app completely it opens again automatically? I just don't understand what you are saying,

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

IPad mini apps freezing and crashing still in ios8.

I Mistakenly updated to iOS 8. Ever since i have had problems with apps, Facebook, cnn, yahoo mail, Safari will freeze go blurry then close. Sometimes the the screen goes grey. it usually just closes the program, other times I have to shut down totally and restart.
is this just my problem or is it an iOS 8 issue or the app developer issue?
thanks for the help

You're not alone. This problem is very common for iPhone/iPad users.
You can try to reset the settings of your iPad or restore it to factory settings.
Reset iPad settings
Go ahead to select Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Restore your iPad to Factory Default
As the method of last resort, you can restore the iPad to its original factory settings. However, it will erase all your iPad data. Therefore, you must backup iPad before restoring it to factory settings. To backup iPad safely and easily, you can use iTuns or FonePaw iOS Transfer.
1.Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes.
2.When you are connected to iTunes, click the "iPad" (or "iPhone") icon.
3.select the "Summary" tab and then "Check for Update" -- if you need to update your software, you should do this first.
4.Click "Restore iPad." You'll be asked to confirm the restore before it starts.
5.Follow the iPad's onscreen instructions to set it up again and restore your backup from either iTunes or iCloud

IPad Mini mail issues

Just switch from ipad 3 and restored from iCloud. That was a mess s I had to delete old apps that shouldn't have installed. Now my mail only shown up for a few accounts. Other accounts keep asking for a password which i entered numerous times. Then is says "connecting" in the status area, but no mail shows up. I tried resting network setting, no fix. I really don't want to start this ipad from scratch because this is exactly why I paid for the iCloud upgrade...to restore my settings the way I left them.

Nevermind the mail issue. I had to reset my macmini server.

My iPad mini keeps freezing when using Apple wireless keyboard

I recently bought an iPad with retine display, and an apple wireless keyboard. I don't know if the problem is the iPad, the keyboard, or the app I am using.
I will be typing away fine with my keyboard, however if I stop for too long, the iPad suddenly loses connection with the keyboard and completely freezes. The home button does nothing, the virtual keyboard does nothing, and holding down the power down does nothing. There is no response from the iPad at all. After a few minutes the iPad either returns to the home screen or powers off. I can use it as normal from there. The app I am using is Day One journal, and is a reputable app. I have no idea what the problem is, and I hope it isn't affecting my iPad in the long run. My keyboard is only 2 weeks old, so the batteries are hadly low. I am mainly concerned about the iPad freezing.
Any help?? Thanks.

Why is my iPad Mini freezing when I try to load data?

My iPad Mini is freezing when I attempt to use any data at all, including, but not limited to:
-Notes
-Contacts
-Safari (History, Back Button)
-Apps (Shows loading screen with no progress, turning off and on shows a freezed screen of the completed game)
Not sure what to do, I use my iPad for a lot and have lots of valuable data on there, and I don't want to buy another. Any suggestions?

If the Reset does not Resolve your Issue...
