My iPad sometimes freezes sideways when used for a while

I found that when I use my iPad in landscape for a while it freezes and I can not rotate the device orientation and I have to reboot it, any way to prevent this?

I use my iPad almost exclusively in landscape orientation and I've had no problems with the screen rotating. So this is merely a guess on my part. It may be that you have too many other things going on in the background and I stress maybe.
You could try quitting some apps to see if that helps. Double tap the home button to see the active/recent apps across the bottom. If you see that you have many apps in there try this. Hold down on an app icon until they all wiggle, then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon to close the app. Tap the home button and the apps stop wiggling.
You say that rebooting solves the issue so you could try this and it might help.

Ipad keeps freezing up when using FB?

My ipad just started slowing down a couple of weeks ago and is nap know freezing up? What to do?

Close all of the apps on your iPad and then reset the device.
To close an app, 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.
Reset 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.

When something that used to work stops doing so, the most likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:

This is absolutely normal, the iPad is turning off after a certain time to conserve energy…

My iPad 2 keeps crashing when using iPhoto.

My iPad 2 keeps crashing when using iPhoto. Have cleared my 'open' apps, reset and restored the iPad, reinstalled iPhoto. But same result when editing pictures imported from SD card. Seems like iPhoto is built for the quad core GPU of the new iPad? Pretty a waste of my $5 until I get it to stop crashing. I'm on OS5.1. Thanks!

It works on the ipad 2. I heard of an issue where if you have too many photos in your library may cause app
to crash. Try to uncheck but a few of your albums in your library in itunes. Sync. See what happens.

Freeze up after using for awhile...

I am having issues with my iBook freezing up after using for awhile. It will start up just fine, programs run just fine, but when i've been on the internet for a while (or typing in Word or anything requiring a significant amount of memory)my iBook freezes up and there is a periodic clicking noise coming from the lower left hand side (by the vent). I've tried resetting the memory and that didn't seem to help anything. Once the computer is frozen it is down for a while. It will only start up after it has been disconnected from any power source overnight. Then everything runs fine for a while and then the clicking begins again. Does this sound like an overheating issue, harddrive issue or software? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
iBook G3 (white) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for all the help! Here's an update.
My iBook now refuses to safe boot but instead will boot up normally! I haven't had any issues with it freezing up but I have only been using iTunes to transfer music to my ipod.
The S.M.A.R.T. status of my drive is "verified".
When attempting to boot into "safe mode", the loud clicking happens immediately but stops after about a minute or two and then the grey apple and progress indicator appear. It will stay like this for a couple of minutes and then it automatically restarts and will boot up into the normal mode.
When attempting to repair my drive via the system disk, I get the error message that the underlying task reported failure on exit. Written in red in the message window is "Keys out of order".
Also, the archive and install feature is not working. It tells me that there was an installation error and to retry installation.
I will look into expanding the memory and additional disk repair software.
I connect to the internet via ethernet(cable modem) and/or airport.
Thanks again for all the help!

Why should we select all key fields when using for all entries

Hi,
Why should we select all key fields in our select query when using for all entries statement?
I read about for all entries but this point was not clear in any post.
Please explain me
Regards,
Subhashini

Dear Subhasini,
It is because FOR ALL ENTRIES deletes the duplicate entries before populating the target internal table.
Please do an F1 on FOR ALL ENTRIES & read the SAP documentation.
I mean how duplicate entries will not get deleted when we use this?
Quite simple, if you select all key fields then each entry will be unique & there will not be any duplicate entries to delete !!
BR,
Suhas

Live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds.

live type files look grainy and do not fill the background when used for green screen backgrounds. Ideas?

What I want to do is somehow make my entire iMovie project smaller by compressing it somehow but without losing any footage or audio or quality. At the moment the project is a 56GB iMovie project lasting approx 1hr. I have a mixture of miniDV footage, titles created in Live Type (they are better quality than anything available in iMovie) and audio.
The miniDV footage is automatically compressed when it transfers from my camcorder to my Mac, no worries there.
The LiveType titles contain a motion background (imported into LT) and then text which appears and disappears at set points. The titles vary in length but are about 5 seconds each.
The file size for the LT titles is approx 180MB per clip, the movie requires about 20 or so of these clips, making a very large file size overall.
Is there a way that I can save something in LT so that the file size is smaller yet still keep the quality and use the clip in my iMovie ?

Very strange, try to turn off/on your iPhone. Or make a reset (home+power button)...
If it continues try to restore it.

I want to give an iPad to my wife to use for work, but her employer won't let her upgrade her Macbook from Leopard to Lion. It's pointless if she can't use iCloud. Is there a workaround?

So far Apple has not upgraded the other Mac OS X versions to iCloud. She can manually enter information to be synced in the cloud but that is really tedious.

Mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

mail app closes when not used for a while how fix?

This may also be due to the Sudden Termination feature built into OS X, which will effectively quit a process if the system is demanding resources. Mail can be a RAM hog at times, and if your system only has a few GB of RAM, then when other programs demand more and you have not been using Mail then the system will invoke Sudden Termination to quit it so more RAM is available elsewhere.
Do you have only ~2-4GB of RAM in your system? Check for this in the About This Mac option in the Apple menu, and if so then consider upgrading to more if your system supports it. Alternatively you can try quitting other applications to free up more RAM.
To see which programs are using the most RAM, open the Activity Monitor utility and choose My Processes from the drop-down menu. Then ensure Real Memory is checked in the View > Columns menu, and click this menu's title to sort the items by it.
Keep in mind that sudden termination does not fully quit the program, so Mail may still show up in Activity Monitor when you open it even though it may be closed from the Dock.

I'm in a quandary. I've had a nook color to use for a while, and I've had a blackberry tablet offered me. Why should I consider an iPad?

I'm in a quandary. I've had a nook color to use for a while, and I've had a blackberry tablet offered me. Why should I consider an iPad?

Who said you need to consider an iPad?
If the nook and Blackberry tablet suit your needs (which you haven't mentioned) stick with them.
One of the main advantages of the iPad is the amount of apps and media available for them. Also the huge support from third-party accessory providers.
But unless we know what you're using these devices for, we can't really say why an iPad might be worth considering.
