My iPad closes apps and returns to the main page

This has just started in tha last two weeks.  it's really bad in mail when I get half way through a email message to send out the app closes and returns to the main page. It does'nt save a draft at that point either?

Lots of things can be causing this but I'll cover two of the more frequent causes. Let's start by having you restart your device: hold the power button in the top right until the red slider appears. Slide it to the left and let it power off. When the screen is black, wait approximately 5 seconds, then hold the power button on.
When the machine boots up, your apps will have closed freeing up lots of memory; alternatively, you can force close apps, by double clicking the Home button and holding your finger on an App until the minus signs appear; click the minus sign. If your apps were quitting due to lack of memory, this will have fixed the issue.
However, if the issue is still occuring, my next bet would be a failed update (iOS, App, etc). If you have a recent backup, Restore to that backup, otherwise you'll be doing a factory restore (or restoring like new). You can find directions on how to do both below:

Reset as New: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
I wouldn't recommend backing it up at this point as its likely corrupt.

  • App closes itself and return to the main screen

    While I was playing apps, iphone just started getting wierd i.e. freezing and then automatically return to the main screen (the screen with many apps on like desktop of computer). Anyone experience this problem and how can I resolve the problem please?

    I am having the same problem with several apps and a reset does not help. I downloaded ReaddleDocs, DirecTV, Bloomberg and a couple of games that all worked the first time I tried them but now open to their welcome screen for about 2 seconds and then go back to the iPhone home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, started and restarted the iPhone and reset the iPhone but they still do not work. What is going on and what should I do?

  • I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    I have just updated my iPad to IOS 8.1.3 when I now try to open the emails nothing comes up and then the app crashes and returns to the home page. What should I do?

    Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
    Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
    I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
    I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
    Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

  • When I open an app, it exits out of the app and returns to the home screen.

    When I open up apps, it exits out and returns to the home screen.

    That's not true. In most cases this is a memory issue and in some cases simply a bug. Most often it can be corrected by either resetting the iPad or closing all other apps and restarting the app in question.
    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.

  • How can I remember the last place I browsed? When I return to the main page it would be great if a marking of some kind would show the last place I browsed.

    When I return to the main browsing page after checking a site it would be great if the last place I checked would highlight on the main browsing page or have an indicator of some sort to let me know.
    When returning to the Browsing page it is difficult to remember which link I clicked on and have to guess or start over again so can someone let me know how to do this if it can be done?
    Can't remember but I think that you can do this with Internet Explorer.
    Thank you.

    I am not sure exactly what you are trying to do but firefox calls favorites bookmarks, and has a variety of methods of making, sorting and displaying these, it also stores your 'history' and lets you see that or use it in the location bar search.
    Have a look at some of the following
    * [[Bookmarks]] <-- coloured text is a clickable link --
    * [[Location bar autocomplete]]
    *[[Browsing basics#w_retracing-your-steps]] <-- this is a long article it will scroll up and down once opened

  • The old version had a home icon to return to the main page but this version doesn't appear to have one

    the old version had a home icon to return to the home page.
    This version doesn't allow me to do this when I want to leave
    a website and return home. Is this something I can add in the browser bar?

    It's now at the far right end of the address bar. If you want to put it somewhere else, you can do this:
    View > Toolbars > Customize
    and drag the Home button into the window, then drag it bakc out to wherever you prefer.

  • Why does my ipad close apps and exit safari only when in our Tesco smart case?

    We have just purchased a Tesco smart case for our Ipad 4. When we use it now though,it automatically closes apps, kicks us out of Safari, and enters sleep mode. But all is fine if we remove it from the case. Is this a known problem when using 'non-Apple' cases? Any pointers appreciated.

    High-quality, correctly made and fitted third-party cases should be fine.
    Check that the openings on the case are not pressing any of the buttons.
    If all appears fine, take the case back for replacement or refund. It's clearly not doing the job you bought it for.
    Generally, you do get what you pay for, and although more expensive, Apple products are higher quality and work with the products they are designed for.

  • TS1702 hi, my iPhone is a US purchased officially unlocked iPhone4. It is not jailbroken. My problem is, that apps either wont start or if they start then they quit after a short time and everything returns to the main page. I have IOS 5.1, I turn it off

    Hi, as I said in the statement, my iPhone4 is unlocked, bought in the US on July 27th last year. I had this problem before so I had it returned to the USA as they would not do anything with it here in Hungary. I got a new one without extended warranty so it would expire in a week or so. And the same problem came up again a few days ago. I try to send sms, or open mail, p r use facebook, the apps quit on me while typing sms or chatting. I turn the phone off and on but it wont help. What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Tamás

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Try each of these.

  • My iPad isn't working properly. When I try to connect to the internet or follow a link it shuts down and returns to the main screen. Any clue as to what could be causing this? Not my internet connection, I checked that.

    My iPad isn't working. I cannot follow a link in an email or connect to a game. It goes to a black screen then back to the main screen. Any idea what could be causing this?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • Everytime i click on my ipad contact app it goes to the main screen

    Hi,
    Everytime iclick on my contact app it goes back to my screen help please
    Cheers
    Paulbrookes4

    Try toggling Settings > iCould > Contacts off and on and see if it then works.
    If it doesn't then try closing Settings completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Settings 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Settings app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • List oppenned pdf documents in reader, close one and reopen on the same page

    Hi,
    I am working in TeX and that program creates pdf documents for me. What I need when I creating new one and having old one oppened is to close old one, create new one from tex source code and reopen new one. I wish to get some api best .NET method to list all openned PDF documents, to close selected document and remember page it was oppened on. Then I will create a new pdf file (I know how). And then I want to open file on the page the previous file was closed on.
    If I dont close the file, I can not create new one. I can close all instances of acroread32 but I want only to close my document and be able to know page which was openned on. I tried SDK but dont know what functions I can look on. I also need free solution, not paid one (not some functions in .NET classes shipped with Acrobat instalation).
    Thanks for your reply.
