What's with the iPad 2 Crashes

I don't know whether this is an iPad 2 issue, an iOS update issue or both, but it is driving me a little crazy. Programs, YouTube, Safari are all crashing to the desktop. It isn't like it happens every 30 sec., but 15 to 20 times a day, my iPad 2 reverts to the desktop. There isn't enough specific repetition to say it's a certain Location where it occurs. There is one website, www.gelaskins.com, that is guaranteed to crash when I scroll thru it's pages looking at skins for my iPad. I have soft reset the device several times. The iPad 2 is awesome, which makes this glitch more infuriating.

Today, a Genius at my Apple Store fixed two major things for me that two calls to Apple Care didn't come close to fixing. Hunter at Flatirons Crossing Apple looked in my settings, turned off all the things that were checked under Spotlight Search, and it hasn't crashed since. The other was helping me to get back my lost data after Restore that was threatening my quality of life!! Thanks, Hunter!!

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger.  Do NOT use a computer's USB port.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know.  If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
    Also, according to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

  • Browsing these forums with the iPad - Safari Crashes

    Has anyone noticed less occurance of Safari crashing when browsing these forums and upgrading to iOS 5?   I haven't done so yet, and it seems my iPad crashes Safari a lot even after emptying cookies, cache and history and browsing these forums under 3G.  Currently on iOS 4.3.1 on first generation 64 GB iPad.

    I haven't had any trouble with Safari myself (iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1) but I admit I don't use it that much because I really don't like it. I've found iCab Mobile to be an all around superior browser. I have certainly seen more than one post about Safari crashing, though.

  • I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

    I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

    Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

  • My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?

    My client with autism needs to be able to speak/sing into a microphone and simultaneously hear his voice through a headset, preferably with reverb set on high.  Is it possible to do this with the iPad and OS7?  If so, what setup do I need?  I have a SM58 type mic and-over-the ear headphones.

    This implies that ODP.NET does NOT need to be installed on a client. However, I cannot find OraOPs9.dll on a machine with Client Release 9.2 installed. Should OraOps?.dll automatically come with a Client installation of 9.2 or higher?
    ODP.NET needs to be installed on the client. OraOps9.dll is part of ODP.NET, not the Oracle Client.
    Also, if an application is built with the 10g ODP.NET, can it be run from a machine with OraOps9.dll?
    If an application is built with 10g ODP.NET, it can be run with 9.2 ODP.NET as long as you do not use any 10g APIs. The new features in 10g ODP.NET are included in the doc and the ODP.NET FAQ for your reference.

  • What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

    What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

    Thank you Menneisyys.
    By transcription I mean being able to take what was said in the interview and have those words converted into written text. So I think your second option's a bit closer to what I was looking for.
    The inelegant solution would be to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking software, load it up on another computer, stand my i-pad next to it, and have the words transcribed that way - an analog approach, as it were.
    O course, I could just spend the next several hours tying up the interview, which is something I kinda hope to avoid.
    Thanks again - Jim

  • I don't know what happened with my IPad. It's dead. The last time I used it was fine with 60% charged. I can't get it to turn on. Can you help me please.

    I don't know what happened with my IPad, It's dead. I bought it 7 months ago. Please help!

    While plugged into power (wall charger),
    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.

  • What extensions accept the iPad and iPhone movies? Can I put any film of any length and with subtitles?

    What extensions accept the iPad and iPhone movies? Can I put any film of any length and with subtitles?

    This is from the developer website (I feel like this is old, since it doesn't say anything about HD resolutions):
    iOS supports many industry-standard video formats and compression standards, including the following:
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48 kHz, stereo audio in.m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
    Also, there is a great app called VLC which supports almost any format under the sun! You can put media in it through iTunes.

    Basic stuff like Mail, Safari, YouTube, Photos, iBooks, iPod etc. No games.
    Downloading free and cheap apps is easy and is how you customize it for your own use. I don't know what the typical iPad is, but there are people with over 100 apps. I've got a bunch of news stuff, weather, sports, book apps, and some other things. Probably 40 apps give or take.
    I think the basic iPad is described here:

  • Icloud backup - my ipad is hung with the dialogue box saying "this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in locked and connected to WiFi". Even after doing what is said, I am not able to do anything with the iPad -

    My ipad is hung with the dialogue box saying "this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi". Even after doing that, I am not able to do anything with the iPad - neither able to reboot nor able to get to the homescreen. The dialogue box doesn't go at all even after pressing OK a hundred times. I treid tacking the back up through itunes and through 3G conncetion but of no avail. Please help

    I too have been having this issue since about 12/14.  That is around the same time I got the Ipad for my kids.  I am unsure if it is related.  I have tried logging out of icloud/deleting it and trying again.  Removing most of the apps to sync.  I reset my router.  All of the attempts have produced zero results.  I will be anxiously watching this thread for some help.  Good luck to you also

  • IPad (4th Gen) What is a good case that goes with the "iPad Smart Cover"?

    Hi,
    I'm currently looking for a case that covers the aluminum back that also goes with the iPad Smart Cover. Thanks!

    I've bought a ton of back covers. It's been hard trying to find the right one. I've settled on two really good ones though:
    Caudabe Shell: This one's my daily driver, so to speak. I've got the frost version and it looks really good and has held up really well. Price is very reasonable too.
    Switcheasy Cover Buddy: I like this one as well. Only thing is that they don't seem to have a frost version. They just have opaque colors, which I'm not a huge fan of. This is also a little bit more expensive than the Caudabe cover.

  • What is the best all in one printer that works with the iPad

    The best all-in-one-printer to use with the ipad mini

    Any that advertise Airprint compability will work for printing. Note that you can't use the scanning or faxing features of an all-in-one with an iPad.

  • What external hard drive is computable with the iPad 4

    Is the seagate wifi external hard drive computable with the iPad 4?

    To answer that we would need to know which one you are referring to.
    If you mean this one:
    http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/wireless/seagat e-satellite/
    Then yes it is compatible with iPad.
    Seagate wrote:
    The Seagate Satellite™ device lets you take your media library on-the-go and stream it wirelessly to your iPad®, Android® tablets, and smartphones.
    If that's not it, you would need to tell us the Model of hard drive you are talking about.

  • Does anyone have trouble with the iPad booting you off of the internet?  I will be in the middle of something (i.e. Facebook), and it boots me out and I have to sign in again.

    Jon....
    Don't confuse the threads here with 'typical' experience.  Most of the stuff here is from brand new users, and those that have problems, and considering the 30 million pads in use, represent a very small sliver.
    If you are having repeated crashes it is really pretty basic.  You either have a physical problem with your pad, or you are using too much memory.
    The iOS system is supposed to monitor memory, and shut down previously used apps automatically to free up memory for what you are doing now.  That part of ios is not perfect, and if an app introduces an unexpected memory load, sometimes it gets over whelmed.  
    This happens, more often than not, when using safari with multiple windows open on graphic intense sites.  It can also happen with a memory intensive game, and residual apps in the background.
    Double  tap the home key and take a peek at the recently used list, and shut them down completely, and often the problem goes away.
    If the problem persists, you may have a software issue, and a trip to the genius bar may be in order.
