Ipad2 has frozen

Playing words with friends and submitted a word then my ipad froze. No buttons are working. Anything i can try?

Try to press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider.
If you can't turn your iPad on or off then you may need to reset.
Note: Only reset your iPad if it is no longer responding.
This could also be an issue with the application, so you might need to remove and reinstall the application on the device. You can download it again free of charge as per the following article:

Hope this helps.....Peace

Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

My Ipad2 touch screen has frozen and none of the apps will open. I can't do a shut down to reboot?

Sorry, darned auto correct. Sleep and home. The home is the button on the front of your iPad. The sleep button is also the power down button. It's on the upper right edge of your iPad.
My apologies for the typo. My keyboard is charging and the onscreen keyboard and I don't get along well.

My sons ipad2 has just frozen on the lock screen.

Please help! My sons ipad2 has kind of frozen on the lock screen. If I press the slide to unlock a white box appears around it and a voice says unlock but nothing happens. Also if I press the time it will say the time and show the white box but again nothing happens. I have tried to reset it multiple time with no joy.
I have also connected it to iTunes to restore it but it say that I have to turn off the find my ipad app, which of course I can't as I can't get past the lock screen and I have also tried to update it, however as my son has only a limited amount of space it won't let me do that either. I hope someone can help and thank you in advance for trying.

Hi Scarecrow1400, thank you for trying to help this evening. I eventually came across an article about ipad recovery mode and on the second attempt was able to restore the ipad to factory settings which obviously bypasses the 'where my ipad' feature. So, for now it's fixed :-) thanks again and I hope you have a great new year.

Frozen ipad2! My apps folders page has frozen, what can I do?

My apps folder page has frozen. I can select from the other pages and get on the Internet from the same page, but can't select any folders. Any ideas?!

Do you mean in Safari ? If so try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari '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 Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is 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.

That implies that your iPad has gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
You will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes (you will need an up-to-date version of iTunes on your computer), and you should then be able to reset your iPad and restore/resync your content to it

If the MBA is within 14 days of the purchase date from an Apple sore, you may return it for a refund or an exchange.
Regarding the specific problem you are facing, can you provide more details, such as the application that you were using and exactly what the response was.
Ciao.

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. None of the buttons will work to turn it off or take any action. Holding down buttons for 10 seconds plus does not work.Help

My ipod touch has frozen with a white screen. The on/ff and sleep buttons will not work whether pressed for a moment or held for more than 10 seconds as per help pages. When connected to computer it is not recognised and no indication in "devices".It has been working perfectly from Christmas until now. Was watching a TV prog via BBC iplayer when the image and sound froze for about 5 seconds then just white screen. Help

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

HT4910 My iCal has frozen after I tried to paste info from an email into a reminder. I get a "server reports an error" message with what I tried to paste in the box. Calendar is frozen and will only close by forcing it. Any help?

Did another window open with the pasted information? If so, try hitting "enter/return" key and "delete" key at the same time. That should get rid of the current action on the ical, the extra window should go bye-bye, and all should be fine with the world.

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?
