The screen keeps freezing on the zoom function

before you respond with the most obvious response of going to 'Accessibility' and turning off the zoom function, please note that this is not an option for me as I am legally blind and rely on this function to use my ipad
i have noticed other people have had this problem before but i haven't come across a solution that really helps me so I'm asking again -
as mentioned I use the zoom function regularly, but recently the screen has started freezing when it's zoomed in and the only thing I can do is reset. It also seems to be lagging a little bit - hard to explain, but it doesmt just zoom waaaay in and stay there like other users have found (it does this on occasion) but it has also started freezing every now and then when I try to tap the zoom in or out
i have a 32G ipad 2 which is just over 2 years old...it still has plenty of space left on it and I update the software regularly.
Does anyone know of a glitch with the zoom that's causing this?
it only started happening a couple of months ago, and was tolerable while it was only happening once every couple of weeks or so but it is becoming more and more frequent - I have had to reset my iPad four times today alone.
thanks

You can try restoring the iOS software on your iPad:
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.

  • Hi, I hope someone can help.... When I open a new user account, which I want to set parental control on, the screen keeps freezing once the account is open. The wee rainbow circle appears and I can't do anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Report any errors it found for Disk Repair, don't need the ones for Permissions Repair.
    Try it again & see if anything changed, but have Activity Monitor open & Show All Processes & sorted on CPU%, also have Console open if we can... maybe not when switching, but we'll see.
    Does this happen if you just try to create a new admin user???

    I have the magic mouse, don't know whether it is something to do with that? Any ideas?

    If gumsie's suggestion isn't the answer, try logging into another account, like Guest, and see if you get the same behavior. You may need to clean the windows on the bottom of the mouse.

  • My iphone 4S screen keeps freezing after the iOS6 upgrade. Can I roll back

    Can't stand these glitches anymore. Browsing on my iphone has now become irritating to say the least. Sometimes when I an typing, there is a lagged response. Its such a turn-off!

    No, you can't roll back. But you can probably fix the issue you are having with iOS 6 with a little searching the forum and support articles.

    Back up all data, then remove AVG Internet Security/Antivirus according to the developer's instructions. You may have to boot in safe mode in order to complete the uninstallation. Reboot and test.

  • My macbook is experiencing an extremely slow performance. Everytime I try to do something, the screen will freeze and the pinwheel symbol would appear. How do I pix this?

    My macbook is experiencing an extremely slow performance. Everytime i try to do something, the pinwheel symbol will pop up. I do not have an antivirus software until recently, which I got free from school and it said my mac has a virus, which has been quaratined. Unfortunately the problem still persist. Help?

    kasturi pryanka,
    your current slow performance might have been caused by installing that antivirus software. Have you tried disabling it, to see if that make a difference with its performance?

  • Screen Keeps Freezing & Sleep Wake issues

    I have a 17" Macbook Pro and the screen keeps freezing.  The computer doesnt freeze because when i depress the volume buttons i can still hear the beeps or when i hit F8 music from my itunes starts to play.
    Also,  60% of the time when my computer goes to sleep I get a blank screen when i try to wake it.  When this happens i have to close the screen for about 2 mins until the computer re-falls asleep.  Once this happens I can then wake it up. 
    any ideas on the causes of these two issues?

    Hello
    > he told me that the laptop is pretty warm.
    Probably this happens due a higher internal temperature
    Did your friend already clean the notebook?
    There is an interesting article here in forum about cleaning the cooling system of Toshiba notebooks:

  • My husbands ipad2 keeps freezing on the screen, when he has entered the password what ever he working on stops after approx 2 minutes. It only started this morning and has been working perfectly prior to this.  I purchased this 64gb 3G machine via eBay

    My husbands ipad2 64gb 3G the screen keeps freezing. What ever you are working on stops after about 2  minutes the screen freezes and after another few moments you are required to put you password in again. It only started this morning and had been working perfectly until today. I purchased from eBay three weeks ago. If watching bbc new you can only watch for 2 minutes and same for video and games. Keeps coming back to screen saver where all icons are.  Sometimes we are to use the on off button to get it going again.  I set it up the same as my own iPad 32gb. Hope you can help? Thanks.

    Spilled water without flavorings and especially without sugar is something from which your computer may recover. The best thing to do is to shut off as quickly as possible and remove the battery pack. Place the computer in a sunny window with the lid open to promote evaporation of the water. On top of a refrigerator is also a warm perch that'll promote drying. It is difficult to say exactly how long it takes to dry the computer; that depends on ambient temperature and humidity, and how how water is in there.
    The biggest threat from the water is corrosion of metal parts, so drying quickly is a must. Also, water can form mineral salt deposits that can grow conductive dendrites between adjacent traces on printed circuit boards. The formation of dendrites is aggravated if you apply power before the machine is dried out. The worst damage would be if water managed to get in the breather hole of the hard drive - luckily, the way the drive is mounted, that would be fairly unlikely.

  • My imac screen keeps loading at the log in page

    I cannot log in my account. The screen keeps loading at the log in page, even i try to reinstall the OS X. The imac cannot read the CD and keeps stay at the log in page. What is the problem?

    This really is something to take up with a local Apple retail store or Premium re-seller.   They will examine it and quote you a repair or replacement price.   This is usually done without charge.  Without knowing exactly what is wrong a guestimate would be worthless to you.

  • My macbook pro keeps flashing green lines across the screen then freezing, can anyone help?

    Back in December my macbook started doing this thing quite regularly where it would flash black or green lines all across the screen, for maybe half a second, then the screen would freeze, so I would power it down manually then back on again. I took it into a store and paid a lot of money for them to "fix" it, but when I got it back it was still doing it. I just recently took it in to a different store and the guy said he couldn't reproduce the problem, but replaced the RAM and gave it back to me. Within a day of having it back the same thing happened, twice. At this point I'm not sure what to do, the money I spent on "fixing" it could almost have bought me a new one. The most recent time I shut it off, when it was turning back on it stopped on the grey screen with the apple and started making a continuous beeping sound, which I took a video of. Does anybody know why any of this is happening??

    Hi Were you using the apple store for the repairs you had done? As to the point of taking in to a store to have it repaired and getting it back with the same problem. It should have been taken back to the same store as they have to stand behind what they do. You do not say what they repaired. The store replacing ram without knowing what the problem is ,is questionable. If you are going to change ram for the original apple installed ram, you need to make sure it is compatible with your MBP. One of the best sources for this is  Macsales.com. As to the Beeping sounds here is a link on it. You do not say if this is one continuing beep or more than one repeating itself.http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202768
