Why does my 1st gen. Ipad keep closing apps?

Why is my ipad 1 closing applications all the time? Is there a solution?

Closing apps typically indicates that the app is crashing.
You might try restoring your iPad by plugging it in to iTunes (latest version: 11.0.4). Let it sync, then choose "Restore ..." from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.
You may wish to be selective in which apps you restore to the iPad, as one or more may be corrupt.

Why does my 1st gen iPad always turns itself off and goes back to the screen. Whether I'm reading news, iBooks, etc, suddenly it goes off.

If that doesn't help, the battery may be dying and need replacement. See here (tap on Battery Replacement): http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Alternately, might consider start saving for a new iPad. The newest iPad 6 should come out in the next few months. When it does, sellers will want to get rid of old inventory with good deals.

Why does my 1st gen iPad crash so much?

Hello. I have a 1st generation iPad (64GB WiFi + 3G) that I'm getting more frustrated with lately. It will freeze up or take a very long time to respond (very long is GREATER THAN 30 seconds) on many apps. As a result, I've found myself forced to limiting myself to Safari, Mail, and Tweetbot. I used to like using Flipboard and Evernote, but those crash often... especially Flipboard and Tweetbot.
At max, it runs iOS 5.1.1.
I've tried quitting apps, restarting it (power off and then on) and resetting it (Home + Power). Today, I've had to restart it three times and all I've been using have been Tweetbot and Safari. Ten minutes ago, Tweetbot just hung... and hung... and hung. Pressing the Home button didn't even work immediately. If I waited 30+ seconds, it did respond, but still slowly.
Is it that my first-gen iPad is obsolete?

Hence, I'll have to disagree with you re: considering going with either a 2nd or 3rd generation iPad. I personally won't buy a used one and, even if I did, it would definitely cost me more in the long-term as I'd find myself in the same position I'm in now, of having to replace outdated hardware and thus costing me more in the long run.
Ah, you're one of those Champagne Taste, Beer Budget kinda guys.
You might also consider refurbished. These are like new iPads with a warranty from Apple. They are a bit cheaper, but still several hundred dollars.

For me, I simply replace these mobile devices every couple years. At the pace of change today, analyzing cost/benefit doesn't really help matters, except perhaps justify a decision to buy a higher end model. They all go out of date at some point, so I figger I'll just get what I want. Bottom line is that if you still want an iPad that works, you're going to have to shell out the cash.

Why does my generation 1 ipad keep dropping off

Why does my ipad keep dropping off. It is generation 1.

Dropping of of what - wifi? When you ask a question you need to provide enough info to get an answer.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

HT1338 Why does my 1st gen iPod shuffle not recognized by ITunes 11

Why did it take me ten minutes to log into this web site. The security pass words are rediculous

Apple no longer supports 1st gen Shuffle. They want you to throw it away and buy the latest gadget from Apple. Your alternative is to use a PC, which will recognize your IPod.

My 1st gen iPad keeps asking me to verify my iCloud password

Two months ago I upgraded to the iPad 4 (running IOS 7.1.1), and it is working very well, syncing to iCloud just fine. Since then, though, my 1st generation iPad (running IOS 5.5), almost daily, asks me to verify my iCloud password. I don't think it should be doing this, because nothing about my iCloud account has changed, except for the added iPad. How do I stop or correct this issue?

This is optionally, you can go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > turn iCloud Backup to off.
You can backup your device later or, just type your Apple ID.

HT1430 Why does my 1st generation iPad skip step 3 while syncing?

What to do about my 1st generation iPad iOS 5.1.1 skipping step 3 while syncing?

If that happened to me, I would reset my iPad. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
I would also reboot my computer.
Then assuming you have the current version of iTunes on your computer, try the sync again.

IPad keeps closing apps

I have an iPad mini and recently it's been acting up on me.
It keeps closing the apps I'm trying to open, as if they're crashing. I've tried to delete the apps, reinstall them, restart the iPad, "shock-start" it and resetting it and nothing works.
Especially the Facebook app keeps closing and the few times I actually get in, the picture keeps freezing and the whole thing just locks for a few seconds.
I don't know what else to do. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my apps (it's not every app that closes, but most of them) or if it's something with the iPad.
If anyone has any suggestion, I would be forever grateful!

Hi there NinusenS,
At this point, I would recommend backing up all of your data, restore the device with iTunes, and set it up as a new device. After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Take a look at the article below for more information on how to back up and restore your data.

Why does my 3rd gen ipad only charge with an iPhone charger and not the 10w charger it came with?

Im only asking this because it's annoying me , but my 3rd gem ipad will not charge with its 10w charger ? It will happily charge with my iPhone charger, and my iPhone will happily charge with the 10w charger but why won't the ipad charge with the charger it came with ? Any ideas ?

The cable for your 10W charger may be defective.

Why does my iphone and ipad keep saying apple ID disabled but i can log in to the itunes store on my laptop?

i can't download or update free apps on my ipad or iphone. i can log in to my i-store account on my laptop and download stuff. when i try on the iphone or ipad i keep getting apple ID disabled message. i had to enter in my account and new password to get to this community site so the password is working. but when i enter the updated password on the iphone or ipad i keep getting...apple ID disabled. thanks

When you try to update the app, is the Apple ID that comes up the same as the Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store?
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? e.g. log in on another device, reset password etc.

Why does my 1st Gen randomly attempt to turn off or go into sleep mode?

I have a first generation Ipod touch with IOS 3.1.3. I have never had a problem like this before. It keeps attempting to turn itself off or puts itself into sleep mode. I know it is not the battery that is the problem because it always has plenty of battery when it does this. Also, I doubt it has anything to do with an app or something since I've reset it several times. Once in a while it will work without a flaw, but recently it acts like the sleep button is being held down or pressed. Sometimes the button doesn't even respond when I press it, but still tries to turn off. If the Ipod is turned off, it will try turning on, then shut down in the middle of it then try to turn on again. I have tried reseting it and restoring it but nothing seems to work. I don't have the time or money to get it fixed, so if there is anything I could do that would fix it, that would be great.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

Why does my 1st generation iPad crash and operate like crap?

It has all the updates installed, it freezes, crashes, and generally operates like a piece of crap. I am pretty close to taking a hammer to it and buying Samsung. What happened Apple quality? Did it pass with Steve Jobs in the quest for a dollar?

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.)

Why does my 3rd gen iPad freeze up when accessing yahoo?

This has been happening for several months now. I've had to reboot the ipad an that temporarily corrects the problem. The last time I called Apple support they said don't use Yahoo. Not a good answer.

Why does my 6th gen iPod keep pausing

It just randomly pauses and has done since I had it 4 years ago. I stupidly didn't take it back and stopped using it after a month cuz it did my head in. Just got it back out and wanted to know if there was anything I could do to fix it or any other solutions?

Is it possibly pausing when the screen goes out while you are listening?
