My ipad randomly lost all folders, why?

all my apps are spread out like the layout before app folders, why?
I hard reset & it's still weird.

You said it was random. Nobody can possibly explain why your apps are suddenly spread out all over your iPad. Taking a couple of guesses ....
If you were recharging and it was plugged into a wall socket - a slight power surge maybe.
If it was just laying around with no user input at all - just a fluke.
A reboot of the iPad isn't going to bring back your folder structure, but restoring from a backup might do it. Try that.

  • My iPad 2 lost all its music after normal sync How do i fix it?

    my ipad 2 lost all its music after a normal sync. how do i fix it?

    The first thing I'd do is check to be sure iTunes still has the music in it, assuming you bought the music through iTunes. If not, are you sure that the account you bought the music under on the iPad is the same account iTunes connects to the iTunes store with?

  • How do I change the authorized computer to sync to my iPad? Lost all my data and am trying to reinstall my iTunes libraries.

    How do I change the authorized computer to sync to my iPad? I lost all of my data when my PC crashed and am trying to reinstall my iTunes libraries in the same PC that has been reformatted to its original factory state.

    If you followed the instructions in the link that Diavonex referred you to, that should have transferred all of the iPad content into your iTunes library. I have no idea what to mean by the iPad sees another PC. Where? How do you know that? How are your determining that the iPad sees another PC? iTunes does the "seeing" - not the iPad.
    Then you say "if I share" - do you mean if you use Home Sharing? The iPad and computer do not have to be connected in order for Home Sharing to work. The devices must be on the same WiFi network. You cannot transfer music from the computer to the iPad using Home Sharing.
    I still don't understand what you are saying,

  • I've reset my ipad and lost all my in-app purchases

    I recently had a problem with my iPad and the Genius at the Apple Store advised that I reboot my iPad "as new" (not from backup) and then get all my Apps again from the "Purchased" section of the App Store.  I've done this, but now I seem to have lost all my in-app purchases.  E.g. when you pay to get more levels on a game etc.  Any ideas how I get these back?

  • My mini iPad just lost all my email content. Everything is gone.  I cannot receive emails on it either. I shut pad. Still nothing.

    I just lost all my email information on my 8.1 mini iPad - everything is gone my drafts my sand all of a sudden it just went. I shut it off and turned it back on still nothing I also cannot receive any emails but it  shows I am connected

    See if any of the following clears them. Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't remove them then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag the Mail app's 'screen' up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    Also do a soft-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.

  • Since my ipad update to iOS 7.0.2 my iPad has lost all sound , can anyone help me ?

    Since I updated to ios7.0.2 my iPad 4 has lost all sound. I have no sound on any function or app since I updated. My battery is also draining much faster than before the update. Can anyone help me with a fix for the sound issue?

    A number of people have complained of this happening to their iPads. The only recommendation I've seen is to shut down and restart the device. Do this by holding down the power button and "Home" button together for ~ 10 seconds. A red slider will appear asking if you want to shut down. After shutting down the iPad, restart by holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo appear.

  • After download an application from the app store on my iPad i lost all sound for all my application, how do i sought this out?

    i lost sound for all my application on my ipad 3, how do i resolve this problem

    Is it all apps or do Music and Videos apps still have sound ? If they do then have you got notifications muted ? Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • I had to update my ipad, and lost all my Harry Potter books! How do I get them back?

    Uploaded them from Pottermore from my home computer, then to the Ipad, Now with recent upload all my books are gone. How do I get them back? Any ideas guys!

    You have the files on your computer? If so, then just get them back into iTunes and sync them back onto your iPad. You can use the books part of iTUnes, or if you reader app has a data transfer option, use that to sync them back onto your device.
