You may want to try this:
1. Backup iPad
2. Setup iPad as new. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
3. Test iPad thoroughly
4. If everything is fine, restore backup to iPad

    Hi lukeshk,
    If I understand correctly and you're having trouble accessing the iTunes Store in iOS 7 on your iPad, I would recommend this article of troubleshooting:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    I'd also suggest running through these:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    iOS: Force an app to close

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • My nano blinks the apple logo when plugged into a charger and will not respond to any reset commands, anyone have experiance with this problem?

    By a reset, I assume you meaning pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
    What happens if you try to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode?  If you can do that, I would recommend connecting the iPod to iTunes and restoring it.

  • My iPad Air shuts down for no reason.

    My iPad Air version 8.2 shuts down for no reason and then will only restart if it connected to power. When It restarts after I have connected it to power, the battery shows that it is dead and the clock displays 4 pm. Then the iPad reboots and the clock displays the correct time and the battery display shows the correct charge.
    This iPad is updated and works normally except for its spontaneous shutdown behavior.
    My solution for the time being is to connect it to a portable external battery when I am away from a power source. When I am at home I keep this IPad connected to power because I want the alarms to work.

    Thanks Brian. Reboots don't work even though the iPad has a charged battery. It will boot automatically if it is connected to power.
    I will take it to an Apple store even though it is out of warrantee.

  • I just downloaded Lion and now my computer just shuts down for no reason. What is its problem?

    I just downloaded Lion and now my computer just shuts down for no reason. What is its problem?

    I recently made the same mistake.  The thing to do is download the new Quicken Essentials for MAC.  After you install the new version follow the instructions on how to transfer your old files.  There is a way, it just takes a little time and, if I remember correctly, it takes the info from your quicken backup files. Hopefully you had auto back up on and your files are intact.  I didn't and reconstruction was a bear but entirely possible.  The new Quicken is quite different but seems to work quite well.  Good luck.

  • Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit.  Says Lightromm will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches, but on every re-launch I get the same message.  Any clue as to how to fix this problem?

    I recently updated my HP laptop's OS from WIndows8 to WIndows8.1.  When I went attempted to open Lightroom5 I got the following message:
    "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. "
    "Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches"
    Every time I relaunch I  get the same message.  I'd like to understand what might be causing the problem so I can remedy and get back to my photo editing. Any clue as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

    I have a samsung scx 4100 series and i just updated to mountain lion and now i keep getting a "filter failed" error, anyone have any suggestions as to how to fix it.

    Hi again, when you clicked on Mountain Lion and Lion in the App Store you are telling the laptop to reinstall them both.
    You may have allowed simutanious downloads checked at the bottom of the window, I don't know, but I expect Mountain Lion is downloading, so Lion is waiting for it to finish, so if you have Mountain Lion installed cancel both download's.
    Cancell both downloads anyway.
    Go to the apple logo , top left, click on it, then click on about this mac, a window will open telling you what's installed,  Mountain Lion is OX 10 version 10.8.2 click on more info, to find out more, Lion will be OX10 version 10.7.4.
    Only update were it say's check for updates, not download now.

    I am having the same issue. And today, I noticed that when I was talking on the phone, the volume went down low. I had to reboot the phone, so that the volume was up again. Mostly, though, it's my music that I am having issues with.
    Same issue as listed above. iPhone 4S. IOS6.

  • I have an iPad ,I bought two new cords that go to the charger, my iPad will take forever to charge, I have tried everything! Help! Please!

    My cord that goes to my charger for my iPad broke, I bought two new ones,now my iPad takes forever to charge,will not charge at all if I'm using it. I have tried turning it off and trying to charge it that way,no good. I have to charge it 8 hours just to get a 30% charge! Help!  I miss my iPad ! Thank you!

    Are you using an iPad charger and not an iPhone one? Using an iPhone one can be the reason for the slow charging
    If you're using an iPad charger, have you tried to give your device a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, until you see the silver apple and it reboots. See if that helps

  • My iphone shuts down and wont turn back on. any help please

    my iphone shuts down by itself and wont turn back on, what should i do?

    If you didn't see anything at all your phone has defective hardware. Connect to the charger again, and while connected hold both buttons. If the phone comes back on, but goes off when you disconnect the charger, you have a bad battery. If it doesn't come on at all you have a hardware failure of the phone. If you see any instructions on the screen, such as an image of a phone connecting to iTunes, follow them; your phone may need to be restored.
