What is causing my iPad mini to crash.

My iPad mini is crashing randomly.  Opening my google drive to read a document. Will open but then without warning will crash.  The same thing happens in FB. When I go to read a post or open a video link it shuts down and returns to the opening screen on the iPad .  I have tried shutting down the iPad and re starting it. Nothing changes.  Any suggestions?

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/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • What is causing my Mac Mini to crash while running Mountain Lion?

    Hello!
    I have an Early 2009 Mac Mini that I had 10.7 installed on for quite some time. Everything worked really well, and I was very pleased with it. I upgraded my Macbook Air to 10.8, and have been very pleased with it as well. Not the case though, with the Mac Mini, since upgrading it to 10.8.
    Currently it's running on 10.8.1 (12B19), and it is crashing all the time. Programs of all kinds (iTunes, Skype, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc...) will just randomly vanish off the screen, and are followed by a "________ quit unexpectedly" window, to report the problem. In each and every case (usually +5 times a day) I report all of the crashes.
    Several times as well, I have also had the entire computer crash and reboot itself. That is perhaps the most frustrating of all. Most times the screen will turn black, it will make it's "ding" sound, and then begin restarting itself. Sometimes the screen will freeze and the spinning loading icon will appear on the screen for 10-15 seconds, and then it will black-out and reboot itself.
    I've tried to deal with it for a while now, but I'm getting a little impatient at it and I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. I have TONS of error report logs, so if you'd like to see one, I'll be glad to post it.
    Thanks in advance!

  • My ipad mini is crashing what can in do to fix it ?

    my ipad mini is crashing what can in do to fix it ?

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT1296 What is causing my iPad 3 not to be charging via USB, even if I connect it to a USB 3.0 port?

    What is causing my iPad 3 not to be charging via USB, even if I connect it to a USB 3.0 port?

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest 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.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    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."

  • My new IPad Mini tells me that I need Itunes 10.7 when connected to my Apple computer. When I try to up grade, I'm told that there is no newer version than what I have. IPad mini says I have system version 6.1.3. The ITunes version on the Mini is unknown.

    The problem is that your Mac software is quite old.  You must have a version of OS X on your Mac earlier than 10.6.8 (current is 10.8.3), so your particular version of OS X cannot support any later version of iTunes.  (The current iTunes version is 11.0.2).  In particular, your iTunes on your computer cannot deal with your iPad which has software that is much more current than your OS X operating system (and Mac iTunes).

  • LR Mobile sync caused iPad mini to crash continuously and reboot with blue screen?

    Hi,
    I've been using LR Mobile on my iPad Mini (Retina) for quite sometime now without any issues. It worked flawlessly, until yesterday.
    I'm not sure whether this problem was caused by the LR Mobile app or not but this was my experience.
    Begin syncing a LR Catalog file (760 photos, needed 1.6 GB of space on my iPad). Sync and download was in progress. (I enabled the offline edit option).
    After like 10 minutes, I checked my iPad to see the sync status and it crashed and restarted by itself.
    After it booted, I opened LR Mobile and bang.... it crashed again.
    This happened several times and I also begin to get the blue screen of death on the iPad.
    Finally, it booted properly and I opened LRM and begin to re-sync. Things went smoothly.
    I had to cancel the sync (around 650 photos were synced) as I had to rush to work and the sync process was taking too long (it took me like 3 hours to sync the 650 photos as the iPad would go into sleep and the sync process would stop. Plus the iPad was crashing and rebooting in between the sync process and caused a loss of time).
    Anyhow, on the way to work I opened LRM and begin working on the images. Everything seemed fine.
    Just an hour ago, when I unlocked my iPad and wanted to work on the images, it crashed again. This time it went in a reboot cycle and the screen went bonkers - got the blue screen, and weird visual distortions of the apple logo, and other unusual visual effects begin to occur. I thought the iPad was gone for, as it went off and wouldn't even restart. (I even tried doing a hard reset - Home + Sleep/Wake buttons).
    Finally when it booted and restarted on its own, I immediately deleted the LR Mobile app and restarted the iPad.
    It's been like 2 hours now and the iPad's working fine.
    Did anyone experience similar issues like this? Or is it just me
    I feel very annoyed because after waiting for hours for my catalog to sync, I had to delete the app and lost all my synced photos
    Can the Adobe LRM team please clarify if this could have been cause by the LRM app?
    I've been using LRM for a long time and never encountered such a problem. Could it be because the app required around 1.6 GB of space on the iPad and they sync/download process was taking like forever to get done. ( I had plenty of free space on my iPad. Had like 5.6 GB free on it).
    Any help and advise would be truly appreciated

    Hi,
    Lightroom mobile should not be causing any iPad crashers, the issue with the crashing LrM is a known issue.
    What would help would be if you can collect logs from your tablet and send them privately to me.
    Only then we can know for sure if it's really caused by LrMobile.
    We would need all your logs that you can find under these folders that are close to the date and time when your device restarted.
    OSX: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/DeviceName/
    Windows: C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Apple computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\DeviceName\
    Btw you need to sync with iTunes to see them.
    thanks,

  • IOS 7.0.4 Update Causing my original iPad Mini to Crash / Reboot Several Times a Day

    After running the 7.0.4 update on my original iPad Mini, now the device crashes / reboots randomly when I use it.

    I'm having the same problem with my ipad w/ retina display. Updated to 7.0.4 on Thursday or Friday and since last night been experiencing blue screen and random restarts.
    Until recently it seemed to be linked only to the 'clash of clans' app, but now it is happening on the App Store too.
    I contacted apple this morning, after an unsuccessful attempt at complete restore and set up as new ipad. They advised to restore a pervious back up and delete the clash of clans game. Did this, and now I'm getting problems elsewhere which suggests it isn't a compatibility issue with the OS and game.
    Also in the same boat as you as I got it on November 2nd, launch day, and out of warranty by 2 weeks. Hopefully they can sort this either by fixing a bug in the OS or repairing my device as it's served me well with no issues for the past 12 months.

  • Flash video causes my Mac mini to crash displaying blocks of stripes

    As you can see from the picture below, flash video sometimes (often though) causes my Mac mini with Intel Graphics HD 3000 crashes while displaying blocks of stripes and repeating "tick" noise. I believe it just plays audio data in a buffer repeatedly at that moment.
    It looks to me that it failed in decoding the video. Probably it can be due to mal-formated encoding, but after rebooting if I move the play position to the same spot, it plays there correctly. So, probably somehow when there is somewhat wrong encoded data filled in a buffer to decode but there is some non-allowed operation is processed. ( like divide-by-zero. I don't mean that this one is due to divide-by-zero. ) Can be somewhat related to DCT block....
    Flash plugin installed on my Mac : The latest Flash plugins for Mac
    Mac Mini with Intel HD graphics 3000. ( last year's model )
    is this going to be fixed soon? Probably this is a bug which is already being traced?

    I haven't seen this occur before.  We're going to need some additional info from you.  Please see this tech doc for some simple troubleshooting steps (in particular, try the HTML5 vs. Flash video tests and try disabling Flash Player's hardware acceleration).  The doc also explains what information we'll need and how you can report the issue to us.
    Troubleshoot, report Flash Player video playback issues
    Thanks,

  • Ipad Mini Randomly Crashes

    My Ipad Mini started randomly crashing/restarting.  I have restored, reset, reloaded....everything.  I'm running latest software 8.1.3.  Apple store just tries to sell me new Ipad. There are a lot of error files that I ASSUME would be helpful in determining problem.  Anyone know what files would shed light on the issue?  I have panic.ips, ExcResource_(app name), log-sessions, ResetCounter, stacks+backboardd,   and others.

    Maybe they try to sell you a new device because the error codes indicate hardware problems. You yourself stated that you have restored, reset, reloaded, etc. There isn't much more that you can do than what you have already done. If you restored as new - without loading a backup - and took the device to Apple for evaluation and they deem it to be hardware, then I would take their word for it.
    Now having said that, you really provided no details in any context as to what happened when you took the iPad to the Apple Store.

  • IPad mini Music crashes

    New iPad Mini. Music app crashes 100% of time. Anyone else?

    Hi Pa23from Argyllshire,
    This error: I have just bought an iPad mini and to transfer my contacts, music etc via iTunes on my PC, the PC crashes should not occur.
    The best guess is this crash is caused due to an issue with the PC.
    Make sure your iPad is updated to the latest operating system: iOS 7.0.4 and make sure iTunes is updated to iTunes 11.
    iTunes 11 is optimised for iOS 7, so if you have an iOS 7 device and non iTunes 11 computer, life would be hard.
    Try to update iTunes to 11.1.3 from: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Even try uninstalling iTunes and then re-installing. iTunes will not lose any of your iTunes songs when your un-install it as iTunes stores every media item in a folder found in (or around): C:\Users\NAME\Music\iTunes
    Obviously iTunes and iDevices work best using Mac iTunes however; iTunes 11 and iOS 7 iPad Mini should work fine.
    In summary possible solutions:
    1.       Update iPad Mini to iOS 7 or better (iOS 7.0.4)
    2.       Update iTunes to iTunes 11.1.3
    3.       Restart both PC and iPad
    4.       Uninstall iTunes from PC
    Many Thanks, Happy New Year and I look forward to hearing from you regarding this crash!

  • What the??  Ipad Mini 3 home screen wallpaper zoomed WAY in

    Once again, I have no idea how I did this, but my iPad Mini 3 which I just got, when I turned it on it's zoomed WAY out so the wallpaper on the screen is unrecognizable and the number buttons on the sign in, each button almost fill the entire screen.
    Can you help?  I have no idea what I did.

    1. Double tap the screen with three fingers
    2. Settings>General>Accessibilty>Zoom>Off

  • IPad mini iCal crashes.

    New iPad mini.
    When i try to look beyond February 2013 the app crahses. Don't know if it's related but noticed that the Do Not Disturb setting was active this afternoon even though it is timed to be on between 23.00 and 07.00.
    Tried a restart and sync to my Mac Air but still crashing.
    Any ideas?

    OK.
    Just found another thread about this which suggests deleting any all day events for April 1st.
    I have done this but have two allday events on a subscription calendar, which I can't delete.
    Seems that may have this issue.
    Needs sorting, Apple.

  • What are the best ipad mini cases

    Does any one have any recomendations foran ipad mini cases?

    MikeNMN wrote:
    I agree with the earlier post, you gotta go with the Otterbox Case. I purchased this case for my IPad Mini. It is a perfect fit and does not add much weight at all. It is great protection and a necessity to have this for the IPAD Mini. The stand is nice for both upright and side display of the iPad Mini on my desk.
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WU5XUG
    I'm what you consider a gadget junkie always trying out new products and since the introduction to tablets (iPad's) I've been searching for that perfect case as well. I've owned the clamcase (keys broke three months from purchase date and yes, just after the warranty expired), hard shell, soft shell, leather cases, and the Otterbox Defender case for the iPad2. The previous edition I was not as impressed with. The silicon was a bit loose and felt too bulky but it did do it's job twice, when I dropped it on concrete. I just purchased the iPad Mini and shopping for a case, a young man sold me this otter box that was his display. This case rocks!!! The silicon wraps tightly around the plastic case which feels like one entire piece. It does add to the weight of the mini but definitely better than the larger version, not to mention, the peace of mind knowing it's protected. Also, the rubber port covers for the plug, earphones actually stay in place when pushed in.
    A brief word about some of the AMAZING features of this case... The screen protector is built in to the top part of the case, and although I had trepidation about that initially, my fears were allayed; the screen sits on the screen directly and there is no space between the screen and the protector. The removable cover doubles as a stand in several positions, and feels like Cole Hamels could throw a fastball at it and it would still protect the screen. Also, you can use it on the front or the back so if you're throwing your mini in a backpack or luggage, you can do it without fear.
    Obviously there's not too much to say about this case that hasn't already been said. It's tough, it's stylish and it's functional. But that should be no surprise... OtterBox is renowned for their cases by now. All I can recommend is this: to those who are wondering whether it is worth the money, imagine what it will be like to take your iPad mini out of the OtterBox in a year and have it look exactly the same as the day you bought it. No scratches, no scuffs, cracks.
    It's just an amazing case, well worth money for the peace of mind it brings.

  • IPad Mini keeps crashing mid-game - A5 at fault?

    I have the iPad Mini (non-retina).
    I am running Gangstar rio, and every so often it just crashes mid game.  Sometimes it happens when I have many other apps open, including netflix.
    But I just ran it with nothing else open.
    Could this be because the A5 chip just cannot handle that game too well, and I need the iPad Mini Retina??
    Any advice would be helpful.

    True - but it's been like that for about 3-5 months.
    I just wondered if it was the same on the A7 chip.
