My iPad (4th gen) is very sick. No apps will stay open.

I was visiting another house and had to type in their password to conenct to wi-fi. It wouldn't work so I tried it numerous ways and the owner gave me various passwords. My iPad never did connect to the wi-fi (android system at this house btw)
Now, my iPad won't respond. Most of the apps will start to open and then it closes right back down to the icon on the home screen.
When I try to connect to wi-fi, it will show me the network of this house, but the window in which to type the password doesn't come up
I've turned my device off and on a number of times
I've pressed the power and home buttons at the same time.
HELP! What else can I do?

IT is a fairly simple process. The link Jim has is better than the one I was going to suggest.
connect to iTunes on your computer
do a backup and sync
turn off find my iPad under settings, iCloud if you have it on
click the restore link
this may take awhile. It usually goes quickly but took about 45 minutes the other day for my phone
follow the promots as needed
be patient, sometimes it seems like it is frozen but it will continue, that is the hard part for me
you will eventually come to a point where you restore from your backup
after this is all done, hopefully it corrects your problems.
Good luck
Keith

Ipad 4th gen retina display takes too long downloading apps

I have a Ipad 4th Gen ios 6.1.3. When i tap the app store icon it takes too long to show the info. The same occurs when i itry to install some apps. Comparing with a Asus Memo Pad 10 is slower what does not have to be. My network runs till 200mbps and the ipad has full power and full wi-fi connection.
Is there a problem of comfiguration or other?.
Thank you very much for the help.

Have you tried this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

How long does an iPad 4th gen last for not battery I mean in Years

Hi .......ok so I got an iPad 4th Gen 16gb in New York last year (February 2013) and I was just wondering how long this will last, not in Battery life but in how long I can use it until it starts to get really slow and lagging and goes completely dead in years! I use my iPad regularly maybe 4-5 hrs a day (average, sometimes more in a day and sometimes less) so can anyone help me how many years will I have my iPad before I will need a new one I keep my iPad in Great condition and no one uses bar me and I don't ever drop it or put anything illegal on it so it is kept in great condition some people say that it depends on the size in GB on the iPad I have a 16GB white. Can anyone help me how long should I have my iPad for? Ohhh ya my iPad is running iOS 7.0.3 Thank You

No. Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer. However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did. New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have. But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be. Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

IPad 4th Gen and Safari crashing, plus running like a slug after IOS7 upg

Since I updated my iPad 4th Gen with the latest IOS it has become the worst piece of electronic equipment I own, I received in February as a birthday present and now I feel it’s totally useless.
Safari crashes constantly, it takes forever to open any url I try to go to, I have multiple I mean multiple tabs/ or whatever they call them now that I just cannot close, Its runs like a dead slug, it’s so slow, it’s a absolute nightmare.
I would actually liken it to the early days of Microsoft’s first attempts at windows, yea I know I said it. I’m typing this on my Windows 8 pc and you know what it actually works very very well. Unlike my nice new IPad, which after the update does not, the problems are too numerous to mention. What are apple doing about it ? and has anyone found a solution - fix - workaround please.

I'm having the same issue. Safari is useless. I have tried numerous things to try to fix it and it is not working at all. It's slow and I can't close any tabs either. I just got my IPad 4 three weeks ago so I feel your pain. I wish Apple would fix this. I use Chrome and Mercury apps for browsing and they work just fine. However, I have no problems on my IPhone 4s with the update.

IPad 4th gen. ERROR *14(

Tried to do the iOS 7.0.6 update on my iPad 4th gen. now is saying that I need to restore it but everytime I start to restore via itunes it crashes with an error code (14). I have tried it on different computers and OS, different USB ports, tried disabling my antivirus and firewall but nothing works.Please help.

Hi Brenden,

2-Tried from four different computers with different OS.
3-Tried on Windows 7 with antivirus and firewall turned off.
4-Tried connecting to several different USB ports.
5-Tried DFU mode.
6-Change the host config.
7-Updated iTunes to latest and greatest.
8-I have the done Diagnosis test on iTunes and it passes all
Very frustasted that after all I was trying to do the iOS update and now I have a dead iPad. I have always been an apple advocate every since I got my firtst iPad but now I am start to realize that maybe I am wrong.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
Emerson

IPad 4th gen.16 GB

Hello, everyone
I have an offer to buy used iPad 4th gen 16 GB. What I am interested in is next:
1: Is 16 GB model slower than others? (It shouldn't be but why not to ask)
2: Is there enough space to handle iWork and iLife applications and other 10 apps such as Dropbox, Skydrive, Logic Remote...??? I am asking this because I read that Retina apps take much more space than it was case with non-Retina apps.
Thanks!

Who offered to sell you their ipad? Why are they selling it to you? - Very possibly to buy one with more space?
If that's the case. then that will tell you something. Can you trust that they have never dropped it or had other problems with it?
Also, a 16 gb ipad does not hold as much as you think and you do not start out with 16 gb. Some are used up by apps that are in the ipad when you buy it and cannot be removed. Always buy as much space as yoou need because you cannot increase it.
I don't know if it's slower, but new ios updates and therefore app updates, will take up more space as the apps update to keep up with the ios.
I saw your list above, but very often, once someone buys an ipad and learns all they can do with it, the list of apps will grow My husband thought 16 gb would be more than enough (knew nothing about what they can do - deals only with IT at office if problems with computers, and our younger son in college thought 32 gb would be plenty. We're all happy we went with the 64 gb, though I realize that for some the 16 gb or the 32 gb can be enough.
The only place I would buy a used ipad would be from the Apple refurbished store (on line only.)
If you think you're getting a $$ deal check out the Apple refurbished store. All ipads from there come with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty, and they've been fully checked for issues. This person can give you the warranty, but it will only be good from the day it was bought from Apple.
The two ipad 2 64 gb we bought last year get lots of use and have been great. And it's great not to worry about space. (We waited to buy 32 gb when the 'new' now and quickly discontinued ipad came out, not thrilled with reviews but could not find new 32 or 64 gb anywhere when we decided. So for the first time we went refurb.)
Hope this helps. And enjoy whatever ipad you get.

Recently updated ipad (4th gen) to 8.1 and iCloud not syncing Contacts, Notes etc.

I recently updated my iPad 4th gen to iOS 8.1 and upon setting up the iCloud, I've found that myiCloud data is not getting updated in my iPad. I o not see my contacts, notes safari bookmarks etc. I signed into iCloud.com from a PC on chrome to see if i had accidentally deleted the stuff, but it's all there. It was working fine when i was on ios 7.0.6. I also have an iphone 5s running ios 7.0.6 on which the icloud runs very fine. i make changes on my phone and they are reflected on the browser in my pc (eg: notes edit on the iphone 5s shows a change in my browser on pc, also changes done using browser show in my iphone, but not iPad). I have tried restoring my ipad to a clean ios 8.1, switched on and off the icloud options, signed out signed in, restarted, but nothing seems to work. My contacts, notes are empty.

Try reset iPad.
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

Ipad 4th Gen not working at all

Hi
I have an iPad 4th Generation WI-FI and I got it less than 2 years ago and now it doesn't work at all. I will explain a bit more about what happened to it in more detail below. So I was taking photos with it and after I was done I turned it off or as Apple call it "sleep", well I pressed the power button in other words like everyone does, right? Then in the evening I went to go on it and it was blank and wouldn't respond but in the morning it had about 30% battery but anyway it put it on charge using the Apple adaptor and I let it charge for like 30min but when it was charging it kept on showing the Apple logo every 20 seconds but wouldn't go past it. So when I took it off charge I tried holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 20 sec and after about 3 to 4 tries it showed the restore iPad sign with the Lightning cable and the iTunes logo on top of it, so I plugged it into my computer and iTunes poped up and said something like:
iPad 4th Gen detected the device needs to be restored. (By the way my laptop is Win7 and had the latest iTunes on it) So I clicked the restore button and it said EXTRACTING SOFTWARE and after that the line stopped moving and a window came up saying: Unkown Error 4005 and 4013 and it took me to the Apple website and I did all the steps they told me to do and it didn't work and kept on saying the error thing. So I took it to an Apple store and the guy there said he waz restoring it and downloading new software for it and it ended up not workin for him either, but he told me there is nothing to do cause the 1 year warranty expired. Anyway now it doesn't show anything at all not even the restore logo, the apple logo nothing it completely blank and Ive had it on charge for like 2 hours. And I haven't dropped it or anything it doesn't have any physical damage or that. So yeah what should I do? Any suggestions will be appreciated

Hi Try this Connect USB lead to pc hold down power button on iPad connect Lead To iPad still hold button down Wait to see if pc sees iPad keep button down for upto 1 Minute. If that doesn't work make An Appointment at Apple Store. Cheers Brian

How to use iPad (4th gen) to edit with iMovie - but using an external source such as a USB stick or external USB hard drive

Want to use my iPad (4th gen) to edit a movie using iMovie - easy enough if the movie file is on the iPad - but what if it's too large - can I keep the source file on a USB stick or external USB hard drive and edit from there? How can you do this?

You can't export any type of file using the camera connection kit, so a USB flash drive or SD card won't work.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrinting

Hi,
I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
(Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
Device Configuration show this:
Installed Personalities and Options
PCL6           (20040201)
AirPrint
PCL              (20040201)
PDF              (20040201)
PS                 (20040201)
I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this might mean)
Br,
Heikki

Hi,
Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN, both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)?

How do I get my email address recently changed on my account in iTunes on my MacBook Pro to show up on the sign-on notice on my iPad (4th gen)? It reflects my old email address and therefore won't recognize my password. When I try to do something on the App Store on my iPad, it brings up a notice to sign on, which reflects the old email address, and rejects my password since the username/email address is no longer correct. Puzzled!

I have another question for the community. My daughter tells me that my texts to her show my primary email address as the account name of the sender (me) when I text her, rather than my cell phone number from which I'm texting her. I've had others report that to me too. How do I turn that off so that recipients see my cell phone number displayed as the sending party and not my email address? Thanks -

HT201471 What does MM stand for in the ipad mini and ipad 4th gen description (wifi+cellular) ?

What does MM stand for in the ipad mini and ipad 4th gen description (wifi+cellular) ?

I think it must stand for "made of money" because this 4th generation ipad model 1460 is the most expensive.

My iPad (4th gen) is very sick. No apps will stay open.
