New iPad 4 freezes

Why is it that my 4 month old iPad running latest OS freeze ( It has happened 2 times now). I had to restart it to make it work normal. Is my iPad defective or is it just some upgrade problem?

Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • 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.

    Not that it's biggy but whatsup with my new iPad freezing up... Should I be worried?

    A universal fix for apple products is restoring it to company defaults. It works miracles! Good Luck! Mark

  • My brand new ipad freezes completly on safari

    I have a brand new ipad. Safari won't work at all. Frozen. Can cooneect to web through Istore and wifi. tried restoring factory setting. makes no difference?

    Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that didn't help - clear Safari and restart.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    A third thing that you can try is to reset your iPad.

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

  • I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button)

    I have a problem with my new ipad air 64g with cellular. When I off my ipad for a long period of time ( around 2 hours), my ipad air freeze. Nothing is showing on screen with any button except by pressing reboot (home   on/off button). Anyone out there can help. Thanks.

    I have a 64GB iPad Air WiFi+Cellular (Verizon), and I don't see the issues you are describing.  First I would suggest that you update your iPad to the newest iOS update.  If that doesn't help, then you may want to schedule an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.  If you go this route, I suggest that you let the iPad sleep for long enough for the problem to arise before you go to your appointment.

  • My brand new iPad keeps freezing - any suggestions?

    Just bought a new iPad, and after setting it up it tarted to freeze. having to reset it to get it going again. Works perfectly for a while but then freezes again.this has happened 6 times in the last 2 hours.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • My new ipad 2 freezes after using the internet for about 15 minutes. It is properly connected to the network and works fine after I re-start it but it is very annoying to have to re-start it every so often. All other laptops on the internet work fine.

    My ipad 2 freezes when using the internet. Re-starting the ipad fixes the problem but it is very annoying to have to do this. I have tried all of the trouble shooting suggestions including re-joining the network. All other laptops work fine on my network. I think there is something wrong with my new ipad.

    I recommend two things before taking your iPad back to the Apple Store.
    1.  Fully close safari, by going to your home screen, then double tapping your home button to bring up your most recently used Apps.  Using your finger, hold it on any of the used Apps until they jiggle.  At this point, you'll see a to the top left of each App.  Touch the sign on Safari, which will fully close it.
    Then.......
    2.  Reboot your iPad.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (hold past the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  You won't lose any settings or data.
    If that does not help, then make an appointment at the Apple store to have your iPad checked.

  • When trying to update to new iOS my iPad freezes after I agree to Terms and Conditions

    Why does my iPad freeze after I agree to the terms and conditions when trying to update to new iOS

    I have no clue but I would wait several hours and then try again.  I could be wrong but it's harmless.

  • New IPAD 64GB WIFI SCREEN FREEZE

    Hi. I have The New IPAD 64GB WIFI. Initially it worked fine. After a few weeks it started to freeze. At one point it even gave me the blue screen of death. Did the reset(home off button10 sec). It would restart but crash again a few minutes later. Done a factory reset on the Ipad "erase all content and settings". No new apps installed. Still have the same problem.Anybody have a solution for this?

    Personally, I wouldn't try anything further to "fix" the iPad. If you restored it and removed all apps and it still acts up like you describe, I would head to an Apple Store, show it to an Apple Genius, and then politely ask for a replacement.

    My new iPad camera just freezes up and does not store any photos.  Also my photo folder did not populate from my backup.  Is anyone else having the same issue. If so what can I do to get the camera to take and store the picture.  I am running the lastest operating system version.

    If it says Not Enough Storage Space on iCloud then you can get more Storage space for iCloud if you want to backup more Data on iCloud Storage. You will find the Pricing for Additional Storage Space and how to Buy Storage Space for iCloud from your Device in the Link below.

  • Why does any video I watch keep freezing on my New IPad?

    Videos, especially You Tube keep freezing on my New IPad.

    What is the speed of your router and does your computer connect to the router via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable?
    I'm suspecting you might have an older router that is broadcasting at less than "n" speed and your computer is connected to the router via a cable.
    Another explanation might be that you have some interference with your wifi signal. Are there any nearby Wi-Fi networks? If so it or they might be using the same channel as yours is causing the interference. They other networks might also have the same name as yours. This happens because each router manufacturer uses the same default network name and leaves it up to the user to change that to something unique. It is amazing how many Wi-Fi networks just named Linksys there are out there.
    Keep working through some of the items in the link Paul provided. Hopefully you'll find a way to get you iPad up to a faster speed.
