Safari not working on ipad

Hi all,
i hope this is the right group to ask this question.
I let my friend have a go on my ipad, when returned safari is not working. the app loads fine. but the screen is grey. I can load websites but cannot do anything except that. the tolbar is fine. the issue is with interacting with websites, the screen is not responsive to any touch.
hope someone can help.
thanks,
tom

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a 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.

  • Safari not working on ipad mini

    Hello, I can"t seem to get Safari working on my ipad mini. The screen is unresponsive and the text input boxes cannot have any text inputted. I have gone thru the various remedys I have found in this and other forums and nothing has worked. I brought it into an Apple store for a Genius to try and remedy and the inital troubleshooting didn't work. They tried a reboot, reset, and finally a new restore and the results were all the same.....nothing. They then took a brand new iPad mini out of a sealed box and setup that one. Believe it or not, after setting it up the same problem occured on this new iPad mini! So I asked to have my original iPad back as it had a personalization etched on the back but was told it was already swapped out and they couldn't return it to me. So now I have a brand new iPad mini that exhibits the same problem of Safari not working and also the advice from the Genius that in a couple of days Apple will have an update. I haven't seen any updates as yet so I am asking anyone on this forum if they have a solution to get Safari working. By the way everything else on the unit functions, I can surf using Chrome, read emails, etc.
    Thank you

    Did Safari stop working after you set up your iCloud account?  Did Safari work before that?
    Have you tried turning off syncing in Settings > iCloud > Safari > OFF?

  • Safari not working on ipad issue

    Safari is not working on ipad but is on my other mobile devices, what could be the problem?

    Do this first, and then read Diavonex's post above - and perform those steps as well.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    After you perform all three steps, try Safari again.

  • Safari not working on iPad 2 with latest updates

    The safari is not working on my ipad 2.  It has all the latest updates.  When I try to go to an internet site it gives me an error message, "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server."  My other mobile devices are working.  I have closed all of the inactive apps, reset the wifi and all of the other things that have been previously suggested, but still not working.

    If you are having WiFi problems it is necessary to isolate whether the problem is with your network or your iPad. Note: Do NOT consider your network to be blameless if some other devices can connect to it.
    First, test your iPad on some other WiFi networks: a friends, Starbucks, Barnes & Noble, etc.
    If it works well there then the problem is probably with your network. Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Do not reset your router. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    If your iPad does not function well on other networks it possibly has a hardware problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the problem. If not, contact Apple Support or visit an Apple store for evaluation. They can provide a replacement if your iPad is bad.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • Safari not work for iPad mini after updated to ios 6.1.3

    After updated to ios 6.1.3, Safari just not response. I cannot input any web address. Do anyone has this problem? Do anyone know how to solve it?

    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.

  • YouTube app not working on iPad

    iPad YouTube app and YouTube on Safari not working, just get black screen with spinning icon.
    Both worked earlier this week.
    Have no problems with YouTube on my MacBook Pro.
    All are on same wireless network same distance.

    I have tried everything suggested on this thread.   Nothing works.
    Many YouTube videos work for a while and then stop. There doesn't appear to be any WiFi activity and no matter how long I wait  the video never resumes.
    Using IPad 1. iOS 5.1.1.   No more iOS updates available. I can't delete the existing YouTube app and the version available in the App Store requires iOS 6.

  • After upgrade to 8.3 safari not working

    After upgrade to 8.3 on my iPad, safari not working at all, keep saying I got no internet connection, server problem?? 

    If you are not connecting to the Internet, first try toggling OFF your wifi then toggle it back on.
    If that doesn't work, Settings-> General->Reset- >Reset Network SettIngs,  when the iPad boots back up sign back into your wifi network.
    You might also want to reboot your modem/router.

  • Printer not working following iPad uodate

    Printer not working following iPad upgrade

    Hi,
    Is the printer not mechanically working or are you having a problem with printing wirelessly from your device? Was the upgrade to the ipad software or did you get a new ipad?
    Try restarting your apple device - It's a simple fix that sometimes helps re-establish the connection to the printer.
    Other things to check would be that there have been no recent changes to the wifi password.

  • Flash Variable is not working in Ipad

    Hi Experts,
    I'm facing with an issue, could you please suggest me your valuable suggestions.
    I have created Two dashboard (Example names A1 and B1), I need to open the dashboard B1 without asking credentials, when I select an Image in A1.
    To work in such a way, I have created a flash variable and pointed the range to cell J1.
    I have placed a URL button on top of image in Dashboard A1. I have copied following URL in a cell, and this URL I have pointed to URL Button.
    URL= (="../../../Xcelsius/opendoc/documentDownload?iDocID=M1TVABCADjs2AHoAlg123AAgoBpgwAAAA&sIDType=CUID&CELogonToken="&J1)
    Opening B1 dashboard from A1 is working fine in desktop and in Android tab, but it is not working in Ipad. Not working in Ipad in the sense a new browser window is opening with empty page.
    I have tested in another way like, passing opendocID and Flash variable to the URL button, It is working fine in Ipad but asking for the credentials.
    Experts could you please suggest me some solution.
    Ipad is Ipad2 and BO Version is 4.1 SP4.
    Thanks & Regards
    Karthik M

  • IN USING IPAD, ITUNES NOT WORKING ON IPAD 3?

    ITUNES NOT WORKING ON IPAD 3?

    What exactly is the problem?
    The iTunes App on your iPad is a portal to the iTunes Store for music and videos.  It needs a connection to the internet (either WiFi or cellular) to work.
    To play music on your iPad, use the Music App.  To play videos on your iPad, use the Videos App.

    Restart your Mac. Launch Safari. Try the back button.
