  • My email has frozen on iPhone 4s and will not load just kicks me back to the home screen, any ideas?

    my email froze yesterday now every time i open the app it gives me a blank screen and then after a fe secs kick me out back to the home screen. i have tried restarting, turning on and off, restoring, deleting account and adding it back on and changing my password but nothing has work, any ideas?

    While shut down and restart probably doesn't work, see if you can remember the last email that you were reading.  If it had a moticon or large attachment, try going your desktop and moving that email to a deleted folder.  Then go back to your email on your iphone it should be working.   That worked for me.  I then went back to my desktop and moved the email in question back into my inbox.

  • My Ipad Mini Keeps Closing Apps and Returning back to the Home Screen?

    Hi,
    I bought an ipad mini at the beginning of December and i have had problems with it ever since.
    For some reason i could be in the middle of doing something (doesnt matter what app or what i'm doing) and it will just shut down and return to the home screen so i then have to open the app again?
    Its quite frustrating and i have searched the web high and low for other similar problems but i cannot find anything.
    I am using the ios 6.0.2.
    Thank you
    Daniel

    You might need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.home.search_sugge sted.search&locale=en_US&q=restore%20ipad%20manually

  • When I click on a program with my ipad air, it opens then immediately goes back to the home screen. I often have to open a program 2 or 3 times before it stays open. Is anyone else having this problem?

    My ipad air sometimes opens a program, then immediately closes an returns to the home screen. Often will take me 2 or 3 times opening the program to get it to stay open. This does not happen with any particular program. Happens randomly.

    Hi Flygrandma,
    What you are describing is that the app is "crashing". You may notice that some apps do it more than others. To try and fix this, cycle the power. To do this, you want to fully turn the iPad off.
    Hold the sleep wake button down.
    The iPad should say something like, "slide to turn off". Do that.
    After the screen is not grey, and completely black... wait 15 seconds, then turn your iPad on again.
    This should resolve your issues.

  • When I try to activate an app that was purchased on my IPad it goes to that app's screen that immidately goes back to the Home screen

    When I try to activate an app that was purchased on my IPad it goes to that app's screen that immidately goes back to the Home screen. What can I do to fix it?

    These are the general things that you can try to get your apps to work again. But the first thing you can try is to download any free app - that seems to reset something. See if your apps will work after that.  If not try these things listed.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If none of these things work, you may have to delete the app and install it again. To delete the app, tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X that appears on the icon to delete it. Restart your iPad as described above and download the app again.

  • Ipad mini crashes, goes black, apple logo comes up then back to the home screen. it happens at random times with random apps

    my ipad has been crashing. it will happen at random times with random apps. it will turn black, apple logo appears, then back to the home screen. i have reset it. ive sent it to apple and they couldnt reproduce the problem and they sent it back. it was fine then it happen twice this morning.

  • When I'm working on another window, it will kick me back to the home screen

    when I'm working on another window, it will kick me back to the home screen every 15 seconds or so. It's like when it check email or something, it goes to the home screen.

    This problem is often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you remove it according to the developer'sinstructions. You may need to boot in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to show a status icon. According to reports, that may be enough to stop the Finder from crashing.

  • When using my phone it sometimes will go back to the home screen

    When I'm using my phone it will go back to the home screen !! Annoying help

    Your first post was that when trying to take a photo or going online it would go back to the display screen.
    I would first go to settings to general to reset all settings. If this does not resolve the issue you will then want to back up all data and then restore device back to default settings. Obviously a software issue.
