My iPad 3rd generation is not opening up my apps when I try to open them!!

So when I try to open up an app it just shows like a black screen for a split second like if it's about to open up and then it disappears. I check the task manager and it shows that it's running but I can't actually open up the app. I am a new iPad user so I'm not sure if this is something I accidentally caused to happen as far as the settings or if it's acting up! Please help!

1. Double-click the Home button to see all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close App
4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

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.

Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. 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.

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.

Mail Application in iPad 3rd generation is not refreshing

Hi All,
I have iPad 3rd generation. Before iOS update 6.0 (long time back) , mail application was working fine.It got automatically updated when connected to a network without any glitch but after iOS updated to 6.0(now 6.1) , mail application taking too much time or sometime not working properly. I have to login to mail clients using safari... Any help?

Ipad 3rd generation does not seem to handle photos very well. I have a ipad 2nd and iphone 4s, and they both are able to handle photos that my Ipad 3rd can not.

So here is my experience. When I first aquired the IPAD 3rd, I did the normal sync with Itunes (windows) and found that very few of my photos came over. Even though these were the same photos that are on my IPAD 2nd. Same for my phone 4s. After much consternation, I was able to get photos on the IPAD 3rd, by identifying photos which could not be synced. These "problem" photos sync fine with my ipad 2nd and iphone 4s. There is also another issue with IPAD 3rd. There are photos that take 5-10 seconds or so to "focus". Even though the focus issue is not apparent on my other devices (ipad 2nd, iphone 4s and windows computer). The other related issue is with the sync. process. Syncing photos will quit the entire sync. operation when it encounters a problem photo (with no errors), rather then skipping the bad photo and moving on. I analyzed some of the problem photos and could not identify any single issue - there are all a little different. For example one was the result of changing the format options from optimized to standard... but this was not always the case. Others were chaning the format from "Exif JPEG" to "JPEG". while others I could not ever get to sync. In all cases I did a save as using various options. However, the bottom line was that all of these same photos sync fine and view fine on my ipad 2nd and iphone 4s. I have not yet figured out what is causing the issues with focus delays. I use an olympus pen camera (12 meg resolution).

This works!
go to settings> general>restrictions>privacy and allow changes. Make sure that your camera is on under allow!

Notes in the iPads fly, i can not open them immediately after pressing the notes a black screen appears and disappears

Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed.

New iPad 3rd Generation display not coming on.

I have had this issue twice now and can't find a solution. The first time my display went out I couldn't get any response by holding down the power and home button so I restored it from itunes to factory settings. That did nothing until miraculously a power and home reset somehow brought my Apple logo up and the device was functioning again. A week later now and the same issue has arose. Except this time I haven't been able to get the display back on. I repeated my steps of restoring it from itunes and trying a home and power button reset. The strange thing is that I can plug the ipad into the wall or my computer and it makes the charging ring to let me know I am plugged to a power source about every 15 to 30 seconds. Also if I keep pressing the power button every once in a while I will hear the screen off click noise. Any suggestions on fixes or anyone else having the same issue.
Just to re-iterate I know about holding the power and home button down for 10 seconds to reset the device. That does nothing. You can kind of see the screen turn on a different shade of black every once in a while.
Any help would be great,
Adam

Ipad 4th generation can not open calendar with ios7?

Problem with calendar not loading?

Calendar works on iphone 5, but won't load on ipad since ios7 upgrade?

My new iPad (3rd generation) will not remember wi-fi passwords. It is set up to ask to join networks. It remembers my password at home but forgets all others if it disconnects for more than a few minutes. Frustrating!

HT3384 I am using iPad 3rd generation. In "Pages" when I choose "blank" I cannot change the name. I bought a book on Pages on IPad but the photos show "my documents" and I do not have that - I just have "documents" or a + sign on the location where it sho

My iPad 3rd generation does not let me name a document. Where the books say it should have "my documents" there is only "documents" or a + symbol, neither of them allowing my ability to name or rename. All my documents are titled "blank".

Uh - never mind. I figured it out - the "documents" section (still no "my documents, file, or save as ) has a choice of date or name and when I changed that section I was allowed to rename. Don't know why all the references and guides use "my documents" and mine doesn't but as long as it works.......

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?
