Hello Drvsowlaks,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To isolate and troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to first reset your iPad by following the steps in the article below.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue persists, please back up your iPad, and then restore it to its factory defaults.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Take care,
Alex H.

  • IPhone 5 touchscreen becomes unresponsive and requires to lock/unlock after updating to iOS 8 and 8.0.3

    While using the phone frequently the screen becomes unresponsive, only the home button works and I need to lock and then unlock to get it to respond again.
    I have an iPhone 5 64GB.
    it's really annoying.
    I've restarted the phone a few times but the issue persists.

    Thanks for the tip but the problem persists.
    I restored the phone as new with iOS 8.0.2, the freeze problem appeared.
    Then I restored the backup, the problem persists, but I have the impression that is a bit less frequent, I'll confirm in the following days.

  • Is any one else having problems with the Faebook Messenger app on their iPad 2?

    The main issue with the Facebook Messenger app on my iPad 2 is the keyboard. Tends to malfunction unless I reboot the system. For example, the ONLY two keys that work are the "space bar and i/I." Hitting the "backspace" key closes the keyboard. Doesn't happen all the time but most of the time. It's a pain in the *** having to reboot my iPad everytime this crap happens. Any one else have any suggestions? I appreciate any comments, suggestions, feedback, etc.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • My iPad screen is blue and blank. It will not respond to restarting

    My iPad screen is blue and blank. It will not respond to restarting. The apple logo does not appear. The screen switches from a dark blue (as if it's on) to black (as if it's off). But will not reset and will not turn off. Any advice?

    Because you forgot the passcode?
    You have to restore the device using iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    Instructions can be found here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    You may need to restore using Recovery Mode. You can read about it here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Recovery Mode Instructions
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.
    But ...if you are saying that the slide to unlock bar is not working and this has nothing to do with the iPad being disabled .... Reboot your iPad.
    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.

  • Since installing iOS 6, I have had problems receiving calls and messages. Calls go straight to answerphone and messages do not appear until I switch off and on again. I have also installed iOS 6.1.1

    Since installing iOS 6, I have had problems receiving calls and messages. Calls go straight to answerphone and messages do not appear until I switch off and on again. I have also installed iOS 6.1.1

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

  • Is it possible to switch back to ios5 after having installed ios6 on ipad 2? Cant open web pages and dont like some functinalities so would like to go back.

    Appart from the non indefferent fact that is becoming just like that other giant microsoft and it took me 20 minutes to get everything settled before i could actually ask a **** question which by chance arose from the fact that i was wasting time not being able to access some login page i usually can access from my ipad2. The problem seams to be the new ios6 which i fullheartly installed but appart from the everchanging funcionalities that are fine when you are a teen but are a nuisance when you have little time there seam to be changed under the hood to that dont allow for the normal use i make of the internet.
    Question: is it possible to switch back to IOS5 after having installed IOS6? How long can the proccess be ? Will it have any other magic apple effect?
    Ps: im starting to think that other guy microsoft was not that much of an evil money making babylonlike creature. Maybe is just the scale of success that turns friendly companies to anonymous "robbers".

  • TS3048 Even after installing new batteries and switching it on my magic mouse does not work. Sometimes it works but switches off (indicator light goes off) on its own after a few minutes.

    Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.  Try making the device a favorite .

  • I updated my iPad 4 with the new iOS7 and since then Skype started problem and now email i.e, yahoo as well. I can hear people on Skype but they can't hear me though it was working fine with old version. Is any one else having same problem?

    I recently purchased iPad 4 and it is only one month old. I updated with iOS 7 and next day got problem with Skype and yahoo mails. People can't hear me on Skype though I can hear them clearly. I was replying yahoo mails quite nicely and now as I start typing the iPad turns black and have to open it again. Is there any one else facing the same problem? I was thinking to go to apple shop for support? Any suggestions?

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3754

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • In my iTunes on the iPad I've got 95 items that are stuck and I tried swiping them to delete them but it doesn't work dose any one know how to empty the download tab

    In my iTunes on the iPad I've got 95 things that are stuck and I tried swiping them to delete them but it doesn't work dose any one know how to empty the download tab

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7... My ipad works perfectly and it's the same apple id.  Any answers or reasons why on the iPhone 5 is not working???

    My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
    Any answers on how to fix it?  I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

    ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
    Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS.  Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages.  If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)).  Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation.  If that does not fix things read the following articles:

  • Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100%  charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old

    Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100%  charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old and don't want to buy a new one if this problem will continue to happen. Help

    Do not let the battery drop to 0%. That is very damaging for a lithium based battery, as in the iPad. Charge at any time, for any amount.

    not executable message, the slot0: and disk0: are not accessable can't see the files inside, when I try the dir slot0: or dir disk0: it says it can't be opened and when I try to boot from them there's noting as well, what can I do to load an IOS image to the booflash: or slot0: ,each time I load the image using Xmodem at the end it gives me *** System received a Software forced crash ***
    signal=0x17, code=0x5, context=0x0

    boot: cannot open "slot0:"
    boot: cannot dtermine first file name on device "slot0:"
    BTW  System Bootstrap, version 7.1
    I''m looking to format the PCMCIA using a PC and format it to FAT16 and copy the boot image into it and then try to load from the PCMCIA afterward if it works I'll format it using the Supervisor engine 2.
    Any one have another new idea I can use, thanks in advance

    This is a potentially complex issue.
    Is this SUP configured to run as IOS native or CatOS Hybrid?
    While in ROMMON can you do the 'dev' command and see whad drives are recognized. Then 'dir' the drives that the SUP recognizes.
    Can you provide the screen captures as it boots?
    You would be bette served by hacing a TAC case.
