IPad upgrade to iOS7 and keyboard keeps freezing.

I upgraded my iPad2 today to iOS7 and ever since writing an email or Facebook post, or even google something is impossible!! Keyboard freezes.. I need to wait a minute or more for the letters to appear.. and then again.. and again. I restarted the iPad few times..but it doesn't help! I freed some space on it, doesn't help either. I can't practically use it anymore..

Try a Restart. 
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
 Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • Just upgraded ipad 2 to ios7 and it keeps shutting down every 30 seconds

    I just upgraded my ipad 2 to ios7 and it now shuts down every 30 to 45 seconds.  It blacks the screen out and goes to the black screen with the white apple on it and then it will come back up to the sign on screen after a couple of minutes.  Once I sign on it repeats the same process over and over again.  Tried to run Apple diagnostics on it but it shut down again. 
    I now own a useless piece of equipment. 

    Perform a Reset... Try again...

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • MOUSE AND KEYBOARD KEEP FREEZING- Have to constantly unplug to unfreeze!!

    Hi There guys,
    I have a really annoying problem with my white emac… (made even more annoying by the fact that I just bought it!!)
    My mouse and keyboard keep on freezing. I have to constantly pull out the cords from the usb to get it unfrozen. After I do that it starts working but then freezes again.
    This happens every 5-10 seconds. I have tried switching the cords in the different usb ports and I have even switched keyboards from my new white keyboard to my old imac black one… The problem still persists!
    Does anyone have any answers as to how I can fix this?? It's got progressively worse.
    I can’t return the computer because it is not under warranty.
    I have downloaded OS X 10.3.9 again recently to try and fix the problem but it is still here.
    Please help me!!!
    I am soooooo frustrated! Any ideas is much appreciated

  • IPad upgrade to ios7 and no sound!!!

    My son upgraded his iPad to ios 7 and all sound is lost...

    Everything looked like it was working...
    Device was muted or on AirPlay.  Dashes moved across the screen with movement of button.  Closed all apps - went into settings and checked everything.  Thought I had turned off, as well.  Definitely tried the sleep/wake button + Home... all that.
    This is why I searched for a message board
    Turning off and waiting over a minute and then the sound was back!!
    Thanks!

  • Changes that i make to song display in iTunes, will not carry over when I sync to my ipad. This is only since i upgraded to ios7 and downloaded the latest itunes. Any ideas why?

    I use my iPad for music when i teach my dance class. The default layout in the music program on iPad is: song title, artist and album. I need the name of the dance, so in iTunes, I right click on the song title, then choose "get Info".  I then edit the info and under album title I write in the dance name. Then when i sync the iPad still has the same three columns, but the info i need displays under the album column.  UNTIL i upgraded to ios7 and installed the latest iTunes.  When I synced last night, after adding new music, the songs that were already in the playlist, stayed the same. ALL the new songs were placed in the playlist but none of the info that i edited synced.  It shows it as i want it when i look at the playlist in iTunes, but it does not carry over after the sync. 
    I hope this makes sense and does anyone have any idea why?

    Amazing! I'm a dance instructor and am doing the exact same thing as you - and not seeing what I need on my iPad Air ... I can't believe there has been no reply on this! I also can't believe there isn't an easy way of seeing track info in the iPad or iPhone but I've spent hours searching and am not finding anything

  • TS3681 I have tried restoring my I-phone at least a dozen time and it keeps freezing at the Restoring Iphone Firmware step.. It has now discovers IOS7.1 so I thought it would pregress right through but stuck for 4 hours on restoring Iphone firmware?

    I have tried restoring my I-phone at least a dozen time and it keeps freezing at the Restoring Iphone Firmware step.. I had not been using this phone since October as I updated to the 5c and have had my kids using this for games.. About a month ago I thought it would be useful to update the IOS after I had updates the 5c but this crashed and it has not worked since..
    I have reinstalled Itunes - I have just updated again now that IOS7.1 has come thought and I though I may be there as each step of the restore seemed to be working and the line under the apple logo was progressing. However it has now has now been stuck for 4 hours on restoring Iphone firmware?

    After 4 hours of frozen screen is came up with an error message - Error (3)...Any solutions??

  • I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

  • I upgraded to ios7 and my imessage and FaceTime won't activate on my apple id

    I upgraded to ios7 and my message and facetime won't activate.  I try sign in with my apple id and I get the message "iMessage Activation - Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."  I have tried everything even restoring and I keep getting the same problem

    I searched the support.apple.com and found Unable to activate FaceTime or iMessage with phone number and Apple ID after waiting 24 hours (iPhone only) I followed all the instruction (even though it seemed it was for previous ios versions) step by step and it worked.

  • HI my Ipad Upgrade to Ios7 but wont boot up

    HI

    I wait for 7hours but it cant loaded.

    If the reset doesn't work, force the iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

  • HT4623 I have upgraded to ios7 and lost all my texts and cannot text nor send pics

    Just upgraded to ios7 and lost all texts.. Cannot send a text and the photos freeze up

    Hi I had the same problem and spent some time trying to get through to support, when I did they couldn't answer my querey but since then....
    Every time a message is sent the indicator stops 90% along its journey and goes no farther? 
    The answer is simple, Apple don't seem to know it yet....
    In Settings goto messages and right at the bottom click the 'Show Subject Field' to OFF.
    The new upgrade has made a dogs dinner of this, you can leave it on, but DO NOT USE IT it prevents the messages from going and its far easier to turn the dammed thing off, it makes no difference to the content of the message.
    Apple had me turning on 'Mobile Data' which was never needed in the past. and it is not necessary we will no doubt get an update 7.04 soon where it will either be fixed or discarded..
    Hope it works for you..
    Jeff

  • My keyboard keeps freezing. Its so hard to type. So, how can I fix this?

    my keyboard keeps freezing. Its so hard to type. So, how can I fix this?

    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
    This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings.

  • I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC is not recognizing my iphone

    I am having several problems.  I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC (Windows 7) is not recognizing my iphone.  1) I am getting an error message when itunes opens: "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes."  How did it get locked and how do I unlock it without losing my data?  What do they mean by passcode?  I don't have a 4-number code to get into my iphone activated.  In fact, I've never had a passcode.
    2) I cannot download my photos from my iphone onto my computer because my computer doesn't recognize my iphone.  In other words, my iphone does not show up on my computer (no iphone icon, no DCIM folder). 
    3) This is a separate issue but it is also very confusing: I went online to check my iCloud and I cannot see any data (icloud.com).  But I know that I set up iCloud when I upgraded to ios7 and it backs up my data every night. What am I doing wrong, am I unable to see my data and photos?
    Why is this happening?  It was bad enough that when I upgraded to ios7, I lost my Notes - I have no idea why they didn't return.  But now essentially my iphone is not recognized when connected to my computer and this is very frustrating.  I have read numerous previous postings regarding downloading photos onto the PC and regarding this passcode error and cannot find a resolution, so I would appreciate any help.

    No problem!
    This will make it easy for you:

  • Trackpad and Keyboard intermittent Freezing

    My trackpad and keyboard are freezing at random intervals for random spans of time (usually for a few seconds). I havent downloaded any recent software that has cause this to my knowledge. Any help would be wonderful because even typing this is frustrating.

    I just took delivery of a new MacBook a couple of days ago. When I started it up I let it restore all of my user files, applications, and everything from a Time Machine backup. That worked fine, but now Time Machine wants to perform the initial, lengthy backup on a new machine. I find that when that is running, the trackpad and keyboard both freeze and I can't do anything. Strangely, if I plug a Logitech travel mouse into one of the USB ports, that is able to drive the mouse cursor. The keyboard is still frozen until I turn the backup off though.
    I'm going to plug the MacBook directly into the Time Capsule to get the backup to go faster, but I still wonder: is there a way to reduce the priority of the Time Machine process so I can use the MacBook while the backup is running?

  • I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

    I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.  I will post my computer's 'specs' below.  I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store.  The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed.  I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2. 
    The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app.  I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there.  That fixed the problem.  For about three or four days.  From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument).  My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out.  That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online. 
    So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said.  They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board.  This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone. 
    So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion.  Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install.  This helped for a day or two, and happened again.  So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install.  I got my computer back last night.  Now, I am not saying that didn't help.  Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).  I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours.  Which, let's be honest is still a lot. 
    So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas?  Or guarenteed fixes?  I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people.  Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
    [Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome.  Especially DIY fixes.  (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]

    Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.
