Suddenly, touching the iPad screen...I get no response.  What do I do?  I cant even shut it down to reboot it!

Suddenly, the 3rd generation iPad will not recognize my touch.  I cant slide the screen, cant open an app, etc!  I think this happened once before and I have no idea what I did to fix it!  Help!

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Does anyone know how to avoid the Ok, upload, thumbnails links that appeares when you touche the ipad screen when viewing an interactive pdf?

    i'm trying to read several interactive pdf on my ipad, but when i touch the screen it ppeares a top bar with "ok" that if i touch it closes the pdf, an upload button, & the thumbnails of the pages on the righ side of the screen appears too. Does anybody know how to avoid it? Thank's

    Are you saying that all pages appear blank when you open the particular PDF document (AINF....pdf) in Adobe Reader for iOS?  It may be due to a bug in Adobe Reader for iOS.
    You mentioned "links"...There are three different actions that the desktop version of Adobe Reader supports for links.
    Go to a page view (within the same document)
    Open a web page
    Open a file
    Adobe Reader mobile products (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone) support the first two but does not support opening a PDF file or any other types of files.
    Additionally, hyperlinks are not visible in Adobe Reader mobile products.  (It used to show hyperlinks in light blue highlight.  But due to customer complaints, hyperlink highlighting has been disabled.)
    Please let us know if you can share your PDF document with us (Adobe).  We can take a look at it and diagnose the cause of the problem.  Thank you.

  • Installing ipad IOS 8?? now stuck in "verifying update" and cant even shut down. Help?

    In trying to install IOS 8?? (current update)  on ipad and now stuck on "verifying update". Cannot even shut the thing down. Help??

    You need to use Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off your device
    2. Press the Home button and while holding it, connect your device to the computer
    3. Keep the Home button pressed until you see the "Connect to iTunes screen"
    4. Release the Home button and open iTunes on your computer
    5. You will see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode". Use iTunes to recover your device.
    You may need to repeat these steps several times.
    Hope this helps!

    How can I control an iPad from a touch screen which is mirroring the iPad screen.
    This is a very important application for disability students who wish to use iPad apps but do not have sufficient fine motor skills to use the small screen of an iPad but could use a large format display touch screen.
    There must be a way.?????????? Help!!

    Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

  • In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

    i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

    It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
    I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
    Thanks for the help, King

  • Is there any possibilities that the ipad screen get enlarged?

    Hello,
    For starter, I would like to say that I don't own a tablet yet.
    Now for the real question, with the new technologies everyday and with all the competition between the companies, is apple going to enlarge the size of the ipad screen or do they see it fine as it is?
    Its because every year or every 6 months there is a new product coming and the competition between the brands are getting higher and I cannot afford to change a product every year so how long should the ipad lives with me? And why I should choose Apple? (Beside the below message)
    What I liked about the Apple is the quality of built and apps, but in other brands I am finding larger screens higher performance and an external slot for an SD card to expand the memory.
    Thank you

    Nobody here knows Apples future plans.
    You can use an iPad for as long as you want. Nobody forces you to buy a new one every year. Apple usually provides OS updates to older devices for at least a few years.
    Buy the tablet that suits your needs best.

  • The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

    The new ipod touch will have Siri with the A5 chip. Since the ipad 2 also has the A5, will the ipad 2 finally get Siri??

    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X

  • Cleaning the iPad Screen

    *Microfiber cloth* works great, it requires only a light touch and cleans off all the fingerprints quickly and easily.
    I tried eye glass cleaning cloth, liquid cleaner and tissues. The microfiber is 100 times better.

    Absolute best way to clean the iPad screen is dry, with the 3M Scotch Brite High Performance Cleaning Cloth. The cloth costs $3-4, but it is a woven microfiber that pulls fingerprints and dust off like nothing else. I've tried a number of different cloths, including those that came with my HD TV, etc. The 3M flat makes 'em feel like using a paper towel (NOT recommended...). And when it gets dirty? Toss it in the washing machine.
    I actually went and bought a couple spares - one for the house, one for my briefcase, and one for the office - just so I'd always have the right cloth handy. The iPad is a great device; I'd prefer it not be a great fingerprint display as well.

  • HT1689 the ipad screen is so large with the icons - and it won't go down to small size

    The ipad screen went so large that each icon filled the frame.  Can't figure out how to get it down to normal size.

    Turn off zoom.
