My iPad Air iMessage app froze and would not budge!

iPad Air 1, iOS 8.2.  The iMessage app suddenly froze and no touching could unfreeze it.

Force close the Messages app and reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
In order to reset your iPad, hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen after which time you can release the buttons and let the iPad start up.

  • I just got a notice for iPad update.  It froze and will not start no matter what I do, I just got a notice for iPad update.  It froze and will not start no matter what I do

    I received a notice for software update.  It froze in process. I forced quited the iPad.  It will not start.  I see the apple and then it goes away.  Latest thing is a round iTunes with a plug symbol below it. It's plugged it and nothing.

    When I do that it says it will wipe my iPad clean and start over leaving me with nothing. 

  • I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice?

    I tried to install the Watch ABC (a free app) on my iPad from the AppStore. It would not download. I attempted to install it a second time, and got the message "You've already purchased this, so it will downloaded now at no additional charge." Any advice? This is a fee app so I do not understand the message referencing a purchased app. I get the cloud symbol, but it will not download. I closed the App Store app and restarted my iPad, but to no avail. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    You are aware that there the app may have downloaded and been placed on the second screen.  Not the main one.  Can you swipe to the right to see if it is there?

  • Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?

    Can the new iPad Air take panorama photos and/or slo-mo video?
    The specs don't indicate that it can but the hardware seems capable.
    Thanks in advance.

    I find it silly that Apple wont let the camera app on the new ipad air take panorama pictures when 3rd party app do. Apple why make something as wonderfull as the new ipad air, then cripple it with a sub standerd camera app.
    My iPhone 4 that is over 3 years old has the same camera app.

  • What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

    what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

    The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
    If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
    Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

  • Can I purchase an IPad Air in the USA and use it in Canada to process credit card sales?

    Can I purchase an IPad Air in the USA and use it in Canada to process credit card sales?

    It will work in Canada, but if you purchase a WiFi+Cellular model I'm not sure that the warranty would be honored in Canada. If you live it Canada, it would be better to purchase your iPad there.

  • My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick

    my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

    thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

  • Hi - my Mu was "buggy" and would not update - so i threw the APP in the trash - but now CC will not allow me to Re-Install because it thinks i already have the APP - any advice?

    hi - my Mu was "buggy" and would not update - so i threw the APP in the trash - but now CC will not allow me to Re-Install because it thinks i already have the APP - any advice?

    restore your app from the trash and then properly uninstall.
    if that fails, CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

  • I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I forgot it, I entered several passcode but did not work, now the iPad is disabled and would not connect to iTunes. What can I do to unlock my iPad

    I have activated the passcode lock on my iPad sometimes ago and now I foregot it, I entered several passcode but non was correct, now the iPad nis disabled and would not connect to the iTunes. what can be done to unlock my iPad?

    If you've forgotten the passcode then you will need to connect the iPad to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808

  • I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac.  I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works.  It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

    I can connect my Iphone 6 and Ipad Air to my Bose Soundlink but not my IMac.  I have tried all the usual solutions but nothing works.  It has worked recently but not in the last week. Help

    make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
    one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
    automaticly
    then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

    I downloaded the latest iOS7 to my iPad and then the screen went blank and would not respond.   I have tried pressing the two buttons together and briefly get the Apple logo but still can not restart, the logo disappears.   I have tried connecting to my iMac to restore the iPad but the device does not show up (I have an old iMac).   What else can I do?

    You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 at the very least in order to sync your iPad with iTunes so you could update your Mac, if it can be updated, and if you care to do so.
    If that's not an option, you will have to find someone that can restore the device for you with their computer running iTunes or make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to restore the device for you.
    I hope that you have an iCloud backup, because you will lose everything on the device when it is restored.
    Snow Leopard can still be purchased in the U.S. Apple Online Store.

    Also, I would not give up on the reset technique....holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears. It takes about 10-15 seconds and sometimes just a little longer to get the logo to appear.

  • I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

    I am continually getting error -69 when syncing iPad Air with latest iOS and iTunes versions. Any suggestions?

    Try Googling "sync without iTunes".
    There are free alternatives and there are not so free alternatives.
    Btw, to check if AVG is causing the problem, you should uninstall AVG and not just "turn it off".
    Also, can you describe how you go about uninstalling a program? For example, how did you "delete" iTunes?
