My iPad is running slow and the touch screen is slow to respond

When I start up my iPad, the slider button doesn't respond to touch until the screen times out and I press the start button again.  Then the iPad runs sluggish.  I deleted some unused programs.
Is there anything I can do?

Quit all apps in the recents tray, reboot your iPad and then see how things go as you start using apps again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Depends on the damage. The battery came loose in my iPhone. When Apple opened the phone to redo the glue they discovered the speakers were also loose. Apple replaced the phone.
    If the glue was properly bonded or had some other flaw Apple will replace the device if the device is still under warranty.

  • The backlighting on safari suddenly dimmed and the touch screen is sporadically responsive - what to do to fix this?

    the backlight in safari has suddenly dimmed and the touch screen is only sporadically responsive.  can't access bookmarks or see open pages.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
    If that doesn't wrk then try closing Safari completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari '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 Safari 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 to try 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.

    You cant unlock your phone unless you put in your password. It may be possible that the apple store could do something about it.

    Do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the device to boot back up.

    My screen has streched out real big and the touch screen is difficult to use and can't return the screen to normal size.Has anyone ever experienced this?

    Double-tap the screen with three fingers, then go to Settings and disable the Zoom function so you don't accidentally trigger it again.

  • HT201406 Wondering why the touch screen display did not respond suddenly untill restart? Tx..

    Wondering why the touch screen display did not respond suddenly untill restart? Tx..

    Being an electronic/computer type device that can happen and often a Simple Restart or Reset (as described below) will often cure many such ills.... If the problem persists... Connect to iTunes on your Computer and Restore
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • I have an  Ipad 2 and  the touch screen is cracked, where can i change the screen

    Where can I changes the touch screen for mi Ipad 2

    What does this mean?
    Ipad don't buy parts for replace,
    Apple does not replace parts. Again, they replace the iPad. Replacing parts yourself voids the warranty. Not sure when you bought it.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

    Connect the iPod to your computer and charge it for at least an hour and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  If it asks for an passcode and you do not know it place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the the passcode.  For recovery mode see:

    Ingo, the reset has worked, pressing home and sleep buttons together! The problem is that the screen turned black and the iPod does not start again.
    Yesterday, I wrapped the iPod with a plastic. Today, the slide to unlock is moving, but still not reaching the end of the slide bar.
    What should I do now? Try to charge it and reset it on iTunes?
