My IPad 2 wifi+3G 7.0.4 has been frozen since the last hour?

Even if I try to power OFF it won't respond. How do you fix this? Plus since last year the home button (circle with square inside) has not been working so I have to use five fingers to close an app.

If you can't get the home button to work, you are certainly in a pinch. I recommend trying this anyway, even though it involves using the home button. IF ... It does work, try calibrating the home button.
See if you can reboot the iPad first. 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.
If the iPad does restart, try this. Calibrate the home button....
1. Open a stock iOS app, such as Contacts
2. Press & hold the sleep/wake button at the top of your device until the red slider control appears.
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button and press & hold the home button. Hold until the red slider disappears.

  • Stolen Ipad has been erased in the last hour. How do I see the location?

    How can I see the last location of the ipad as it must have gone online (however briefly) in order to activate the "erase" function?

    Once it's been erased there is no function to locate it:

  • I have an iPad Mini which after being on charge has now frozen with the iCloud Backup box in the middle of the screen which in spite of pushing OK many times will not go away or unlock the screen or iPad

    I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When I try to email documents from my iPad 2 it appears to send but never shows up in my sent box or in the receiver's email account.  this has only been happening since the last update for my ipad.  How can this be corrected?

    Has anyone else had this problem?  When I "share" documents from Pages or GoodReader via email It looks and sounds like documents have been sent but they never arrive and when I check my "sent" file, they aren't there.  Very frustrating!  I know I've sent them this way before and it worked so wondering if it's something to do with the latest updates to 6.1.3

    Which email service provider are you using?  You can install DropBox and share links to the files that way.  When you snd to your self (cc or bcc) do the items show up?  What file types and sizes are these attachments?  Are you sending over WiFi or cellular connection?  Try using more than one email account from a different provider (Gmail, yahoo, iCloud, etc) and see if it is email provider specific.

  • My iPhone 5c has been buggy since the update, it slowed down ( a lot) and it can't connect to wifi as well. How do I fix this?

    so I have an iPhone 5c bought last summer, so it's not even a year old. I have never had any problems with the wifi until a day ago. Yesterday I updated to ios8.2 and my pone became really slow and buggy. And it won't connect to the wifi. I checked on my tablet and the wifi works fine on there. How do I fix this problem?

    What troubleshooting steps have you attempted to correct this issue? I have a 5s running iOS 8.2 and have not experienced any problems. User troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore from backup and restore as new. Make sure you make a backup of the device before attempting any troubleshooting. If you go through all of the steps, including restore as new and then test the device before adding any content back to it and it is still not functioning correctly, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple store to have the hardware checked. If it functions correctly when restored as new, then try restoring the backup again. If it acts up after that, then there is something corrupt in your backup file. Restore as new again and sync your content back manually.

  • Why is my Ipad asking to be activated when it has been activated for the past 2 years?

    I restarted my ipad and now it is asking to activate.  The ipad attempts but with no success since last night.  It keeps telling me that the serve is down-but since last night?  I connected to itunes but it does not recognize the device.  Please advise.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    If I go into settings and physically touch the WiFi that has been used since his was new than after waiting for 2 to 3 min it finally goes on line. I never had any problems until this last update. It always went on line automatically with out having to go into settings. Just a pain. Once I do this it usually stays on line.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

    My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.
