New iPad (3) frozen second time...

Hello, it just happened now. My mom was playing angry birds on my new iPad and when she tried to switch to another game, unblock me, a simple puzzle game, not very graphic intensive, my iPad froze. This has happened second time now and I am kind of worried now.
First time it happened when my friend was playing 'The End' game. It froze and when I pushed sleep key, even the slide unlock key was not working. I had to restart the iPad by holding lock and home key together and to wait for apple logo to shine again.
From the day one I've also noticed that the spotlight search also lags every time and swipe it. I've bought this iPad only for work, I'm not even using any heavy apps or rating games like infinity blade etc. I don't even think I've ever used the hardware to its fullest ever.
When I buy an iPad I expect it to never freeze or hang, or I'd have bought an android, right?
So I wanted to know if this is a major problem? Should I get mine iPad replaced?
How to check if my model is faulty?
I don't really think the iStore will help me much as the guys working there sounded pretty noob, I had to tell them about the new iPad and what it could possibly do etc.
Thanks for your time.

If you are concerned Restore your device and setup as a new device. Follow the instructions here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
iOS for me hardly freezes. If it freezes too much, that means I need to do a restore to place a fresh OS on the device. It does lag when swiping to Spotlight, I believe it is because the system is pulling up a database index of everything on the device. I cannot confirm that though.
Your expectations are a bit high in terms of never becoming unresponsive, though I believe you are right that it should not occur often. This is not a major problem. First follow the above instructions of restoring the device. If the device continues to become unresponsive multiple times per week or month, then that's when you should have yours checked.
I would not discount the Apple Store employees. If the problem continues to happen often after trying a restore, I would make an appointment with the Genius bar so the issue can be documented and cite that you have done a restore of a new device. If problems then continue then go in again even if you underestimate their knowledge, as the team is there to help you keep going. They can then verify that you have come in before and alternate solutions can be made. You are not working with just one person at an Apple Store as you can always question and ask for different solutions from the employees because they should be willing to find the solution that makes you the happiest.

HT201418 My new iPad takes the second week to restore. Where do I see what exactly has already downloaded/restored and what has not?

My new iPad takes the second week to restore. When I power it up, each time it asks me if I would like to continue to download remaining apps/data or would prefer to delete them. Would be great to know what exactly has not been downloaded/restored yet. Does anyone know where/how I can check that?

Apps that are downloading will be greyed out.

HT201412 My new IPad is frozen, that is, I was installing an app from WGHB to listen online and it frozen the whole system.

As I said, my new IPad is frozen. I was installing an app from WGHB Classical Music station and it froze. It played music for some 30 minutes then stopped. The app icon is frozen on the screen. No touching or attempts to close it works. I cannot access the IPad any more for this reason,. It's inoperable.

Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

Brand new New IPad freezes all the time, on everything

I bought a New IPad a little over a month ago, to replace an aged laptop for my wife. Unfortunately the New IPad freezes all the time, about every five minutes, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. It freezes on pretty much everything, Safari, Chrome, even app store. I've tried reset, upgrading to IOS 6, pretty much everything I know off. I checked message usage, which is low, and I constantly make sure there isn't many apps running. But nothing helps. To me it's really a piece of crap. Very very frustrating.
My observation, although not very conclusive, is that everytime it freezes, it's in the middle of network activity.
Once it freezes, home button doesn't work at all, so no way to switch app, or kill an app.
Has anyone experienced the same? it's more likely a hardware issue, such as memory chip problem?
Any idea or suggestion to help, I'll appreciate.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

My husband's new ipad is frozen. We can not slide to unlock or turn it off. A pop-up appears in center of screen that says "this ipad has not been backed up.

My new iPad Mini seems to time-out the WiFi connection?

I've had an iPad One for a year or two and recently bought iPad Minis for myself and the SO. It's happened quite a few times now that I can be using the WiFi connection, and set the iPad aside for a few minutes, and when I come-back to it the WiFi connection is gone (the icon goes away at the top-left of the screen). I have to then go to Settings Wifi and select my connection again. I don't recall this ever happening with the iPad 1.
I don't see any specific setting for "turn-off WiFi after x minutes" or whatnot and wonder why the iPad is dropping signal (a very strong signal, a very fast connection in my house). Is there a setting some where that says "turn off WiFi", for example after X minutes to save power or something?
This is a real annoyance cuz I can be reading an article online and then when I come-back to it I see "no Internet connection" and I have to go to Settings again to re-select my SSID.

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Does any1 having the new ipad experiencing longer charging time?

My the new ipad take more than 3 hours to charge for 50 % and worser than it took apx 8 hour to charge from 20%
Im very disapointed regarding this problem and hopefully apple will take responsibility regarding it..oh ya today one of apple staff call me reporting about my ipad problem, they said that " we never experience such problem " but i could find many people complaining about it in many ipad forum,hope i will be provided will best solution..thx

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can the new iPad stream data from time capsule?

I recently purchased a time capsule (2tb), I am able to access my shared data on time capsule via my mb air but I wish to access the movies and pictures on time capsule through iPad as well as iPhone 4s. Is that possible?

it can if time capsule support upnp if you get an app that support connecting to upnp nas servers

My PS Touch on my new iPad is frozen. I have a lot of work saved on it & don't want to lose it. ???

If I'm understanding this right, I have to delete the PS Touch App and then reinstall. I don't have to repurchase. But I'm guessing I'll lose all my work. I didn't save to the cloud yet. Arg :) What to do? No choice? Start over?

First please try a force-quit of PSTouch. Then check the device storage. If that does not help use iExplorer to retrieve your projects.

Are you doing this OTA or via iTunes on your computer?
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

IPad3 (new iPad) stuck at 100% battery

Today I've been using iTunes to transfer some content to my new Ipad. The battery seems to be stuck at 100% though, I've tried resetting the iPad, using it for a few hours at full brightness, and connecting the charger. Stays at 100% no matter what. Also disabling the % counter and re-enabling it, didn't help. Any idea what's going on here?
Need to get this fixed asap, I'm leaving for a long trip to China in about 30 hours, rather annoying to have my iPad act up on my just now :/

This has happened to me twice since getting the new iPad. The first time, I fixed it by turning off the % indicator then turning it back on. The second time, it took about 2 or 3 hours of use and then it finally went down. Interestingly, when it finally dropped, it did not show a sigificant decrease (such as a drop to 80%) nor did it seem to decrease any faster than usual.
Both times I tried the reboot/reset approach described above by Dah-veed, but it didn't work. Since I am a brand new apple user, I was too afraid to do the restart/restore method since I don't fully understand what that would do to my settings, saved data and apps that I have purchased.
I've seen numerous headlines recently about the iPad intentionally reporting a 100% charge before the battery is fully-charged. I'm not sure if this is related to the problem we are having but, it confirms that, by apple's own admission, the battery meter is intentionally designed to give an inaccurate reading. Perhaps that intentional tweak to the battery meter is causing other problems with the % display. Just a guess.

Why is my new ipad so slow

I just bought the new iPad. It is running on 3G (they dont have 4G ipad in Japan). I have an old iPhone 3Gs. Both are running same version of IOS.
my ipad it taking forever to load anything, apps, webpages, even the app store when using 3gs. my phone is isntant. I have read it is becuase of the size of the screen and amount of info. That is fine... but explain this to me. I download a the SAME 9.4mb speetest.net app at the SAME time on my ipad and my iphone. The iphone finished in under 1 minute and the ipad takes nearly 15!!!!!!!
when and iff I can get the app working. the ping on the phone is 4 times higher than the ipad, showming me the ipad is getting better speeds. so why it is so slow. just to bring up ANY page on the app store takes over 5 minutes.
when I run DSLR.net speed tests for mobile devices. I get the same thing for the ping. The ipad has much lower ping.
I cant belive the results for the DL speed
ipad - t1. 112kbps t2. 93kbps t3. 114kbps
iphone- t1. 249kbps t2. 290kbpsm t3. 308kbps
What is up with that?

I went home and hooked up with wi-fi and was pulling speeds of 10mbs. lighting fast just like I thought. I didnt reboot or reset. So its not the ipad software. or overloaded cache (which i cleared yesterday before I tested 3G speeds)
now....
It is a new day, and I have tested both my phone and my ipad agian.
my ipad is still only pulling speed of .1Mbs that is POINT ONE.
and my phone is still pulling .3Mbs
so now I am have two problems. why is my BRAND new ipad recieinvg a 3 times slower signal than the phone.
and what options do I have with my cell company? they have a 10Mbs system and I am pulling 1% of their offered speed. Problem is I live in Japan, and things dont work the same here. no FCC-esq rules requiring minum devliery of service, etc. that I can find.
I am 99% sure that have something simalar to the BBB, but have even less power than the BBB in the USA. companies can basicly just ignore them. the legal system is nothing like the USA. (if you sue somebody/buisness in small/"medium"claims court, the court will order them to pay, but no law is required to actully get the cash from them).
I am wondering since this ipad is made with a 4G LTE radio it is not optimizzed for a 3G signal. What does anyone think about that? In the USA 4G coverage is not universal, so surley plenty of new ipads are running on 3G at least some of the time. Are they exepierincging slower than normal 3G speeds on the new ipad?

Icloud did not install my apps from my previouse ipad when I set up my new ipad, any suggestions?

icloud did not install my apps from my previouse ipad when I set up my new ipad, any suggestions?

I show the last back up when I go into settings but I do not know how to get the items out of back up? Should I try restarting it? When I was setting up the new ipad for the first time it asked for my icloud login and password but it did not give me an option to retrieve the old back up?
Thanks!

New iPad 4 setting up

I am an original iPad owner.
I am buying the new gen 4 for Chrissy.
The question is we own two computers.
can I set up the new iPad from a second computer.
All my iTunes library and back ups are on the first computer.?

No it doesnt. Even in iOS 6.0.1, you still cannot email to groups or create groups in the built in mail and contacts apps on the new iPad. It has nothing to do with what generation the device is, its the iOS that doesn't have the functionality.

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?
