My iPad 3rd generation has a frozen screen...

My iPad just froze up on me as I was playig a video game. I can't reset it and it won't turn off. Any similar occurances, suggestions or opinions regarding my misfortune?

Thanks for the hint sjf0123; I actually tried that right after it happened with no luck. Fortunately (I think), the problems seems to have resolved itself. I came back in my room to re-try your suggestion and the darn thing was off. I pressed the on button and it fired up as if nothing happened. :/ Oh well... all is well that ends well, yes?

My Ipad (3rd generation) will not back up to iCloud

My iPad (3rd generation) has not backed up since Sept. 14. I have the latest iOS 8.1.3. It starts but ends abruptly. Any suggestions?

Howdy gigi40,
If I understand you correctly you can tap the "Back Up Now" and it appears to start, but it then stops and nothing happens. I would start by quitting the Settings app on your phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

IPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

iPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

Hello there, darney87.
The following Knowledge base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for the issue you're describing with your iOS device showing an Apple logo:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Ipad 3rd generation screen replacement

I want to replace the display of iPad 3rd generation wi-fi Model number A1416.
How to get it repaired?

The best thing to do is to go through apple or use one of their authorized service providers. That way you keep your warranty. If you use a non-authorized repair place, then you will void your warranty. Non-authorized repair places will likely be cheaper but it comes down to a cheaper chance or a more expensive sure bet. (In many cases your broken iPad will be replaced with a refurbished replacement which also has a guarantee)

I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen has gone completely blank. It is fully charged and will play music but I have no idea where anything is.

I have a 3rd generation IPod and the screen is black - it is fully charged and will play music but there is nothing to be seen on the screen. I have no idea how to fix this. We live in France now so any of the fixes have to be in English since I can't read French. Any advise would be greatly appreaciated. I looked at some of the other answers but I have no idea where the Hold button would be on this. Thanks.

IPad 3rd generation

Everything is sharper on the iPad 3rd generation... but I need to know how to get the crisp white thst the iPad 2 displays. Te iPad 3 has a distinct or pronounced yellowish haze tone to white objects and affects all other colors as well. It is not the brightness ... I've tested that. Holding the iPad 3rd generation next to the iPad 2 ... the color difference is very noticeable and. renders images washed out!

Many people have posted that the yellowish tint was a common problem when the iPad 2 was first released and was caused by the glue holding the screen to the rest of the unit. Supposedly the yellowish tint disappeared after a few weeks. If this is the case, the long an iPad site on the shelf the better the screen will look. But right now every iPad is probably sold right after it is manufactured. Those who manage to purchase units made earlier in the process as Apple built up their inventory. I purchased my iPad 2 well after it was first released and never saw a problem with the screen.
For those concerned about this issue I would wait until a few weeks after the mad rush to buy the new iPad is over. Then go to an Apple store with your old iPad to compare with a unit that had been around for a while. Hopefully the problem will either be resolved by Apple or it will go away as units spend A little more time between manufacture and delivery to the buyer.

New iPad (3rd Generation) Pre-Order info.

I pre-ordered a new Apple iPad (3rd generation) 64 GB Wifi+4G LTE yesterday on March 6, 2012. The conformation email I received from Apple said that it would be delivered on March 16, 2012. Is this the true date that my new iPad will be delivered, or is this just the date that it will ship from Apple? Does anyone have any insight on this delivery date question?

I was asking the question because the new iPad 3rd generation is not available for sale until March 16, 2012. The delivery date message on the conformation screen wasn't clear as to when it would be delivered, basically stating the delivery estimate. Not that it's a huge concern, it's that I've never pre-ordered anything from Apple before, and since the product itself won't be available to purchase on the market until March 16, I was simply inquiring as to the exact delivery date being the same date the product being available for sale. I know when I ordered my iPad 2 online on the Apple store, it took about 8 business days from the shipping conformation email I received, and the delivery of the iPad 2. Has anyone else pre-ordered the new iPad 3rd generation online from the Apple store, and have an estimated delivery date of March 16, 2012?

My iPad 3rd generation is loked!!!

An application (Titan Downloader) has locked my iPad 3rd generation and now I cannot do anything!!! I'm trying everything but it just don't work...I tried to shut down pressing the start/lock button, Quit the app pressing the HOME button and pressing both buttons at the same time, and nothing shows me a positive response...
I also have tried to connect it to my PC to restart the iOS to its original state, but the iPad cannot connect to the iTunes...
I don't know what else to do...
Please give me a hand here!!!

Are you sure you are doing the Reset properly? [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.]
Also, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi. It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on. I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects. The wi-fi has no security.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Ipad 3rd generation, are there any recalls on this device?

I have an Ipad 3rd generation. It will not charge. went to the apple store, they ran diagnostic and said battery was fine, reset everything, said the firmware was fine. Thinks the problem is in the charge port or wire going to battery. Is this a common issue or problem anyone else has had?

No.
