Why does my iPad 1st gen constantly kick me out of apps?

Why does my iPad close apps every minute or so while I'm using them?  It's frustrating!   Do I need to reset it to factory settings?

Double click the home button, hold down an app icon, and press the red X. Do that for all the apps. You have to clear that, or the device's RAM (temporary memory) gets too full, and starts kicking you out of things.

  • HT4108 Why does an iPad (1st gen) and the Photos app using VGA adapter

    Why does an iPad (1st gen) using iOS 5.1 and the Photos app not send a single photo to a projector while a slideshow is sent photo by photo?

    I am not 100% sure, but i believe the iPad only does mirroring when connecting with AppleTV. AV cables will output audio and video out the bottom of the iPad (30-pin connector) to a TV/monitor, but the iPad screen itself will only show video controls (play/pause, FF, RW, Done, Progression bar).  If your cables say otherwise I am interested to know what brand they are and where you got them. If you are not getting any video at all the cables are probably not Apple approved and dont have the special chip in the 30-pin connector that allows for video transition.

  • Does my iPad 1st gen have a future?

    after Ios 6 rolls out will my 1st gen iPad WiFi 3G keep working

    I also agree with Illaass and Demo, the first generation iPad will continue to serve very well.  Operating system updates take place all the time and computing equipment keeps providing good service.  Just does not provide all the latest bells-and-whisltes.  My iMac G5 (2005) served very well until it started having hardware problems this year and had to be replaced.  But the OS was three generations out of date, and that really was noot too much of an issue except for the latest applications that I could not use.
    As long as your iPad physically works, go ahead and enjoy it.  If you absolutely must have the latest apps, then replace it.

  • Why does my iPad ( 1st generation) keep shutting down

    Does anyone have any ideas why my iPad (1st generation) keep closing down and what I need to do to rectify it?

    Pam-
    It could be that the battery charge indicator is showing 100 percent when you actually have almost no charge left.  In case that is the problem, leave your iPad connected to its wall charger overnight, and see if that helps.
    One other thing to try, is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.

  • Why does my iPad 3rd gen keep saying "not charging"?

    My iPad (3rd gen) is frequently saying "not charging" when I plug it into my computer or ac adapter. I'm using Apple cords and adapters, too!

    There has to be a power going through to charge it surley , it is ither of or on not low power? . Also daughter judy said '' i have tried ac adapter''. Maybe if you have another device e.g xbox with a usb port in try to connect through there

    Most computer usb ports do not provide enough power to properly charge the ipad. If the computer goes to sleep while the ipad is plugged in, it can actually drain the battery. Use a wall charger.

  • Why does my iPad ask for a credit card to buy apps when I already have money on my iTunes account?

    Why does it do that? It used to do that for free apps to but once I put my credit card on it, it stop asking for free apps. But now it still wants a card even though I still have 20 dollars left from a birthday gift card. I heard somewhere that this was because of a new feature to stop kids from downloading apps that their parents don't want them to or buying a bunch of apps and racking up a huge bill, is this part of it?

    Is the card expired? You cannot have an expired card in your account.

  • Why does my ipad 2 screen keep randomly blacking out?

    Ipad 2 just screen randomly blacks out. As I type this ? it has done it twice!

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. 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 device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't correct the problem make an appointment at an Apple store to have the iPad looked at.

  • Why does my iPad (3rd Gen.) keep turning itself on and off?

    I currently have my 3rd generation iPad plugged into the wall charger. It has been plugged in since yesterday morning and is still going through the same routine: on, off, on, off...HELP! I have tried to reset it, but it won't respond; the screen just keeps going black (with Apple logo) as soon as it turns on enough to get to the lock screen. Also, it will immediately become unresponsive when I unplug it from the charger.

    I would think that you either have a charger problem or a something inside your iPad (battery, perhaps). I suggest you take it in for diagnosis.

  • Why does my iPad 3rd gen. stop responding after 5 minutes of use? The home button still works but the touchscreen doesn't react.

    This is getting incredibly annoying.  I've had this thing for 3 months and I can't use it for more than 5 mins at a time because the touchscreen stops responding!!! I tried restoring it to its factory defaults and it still keeps messing up.

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If that doesn't work, then update iTunes on computer, backup device to iTunes, then restore the device.

  • Why does the iPad not come with Stocks, Weather and Messages apps like iPhone?

    Just received my new 64gb iPad and curious about why Apple has left some of the key apps off the device like Stocks, Weather and Messages. Can these be added?
    All the iOS 5 demos I've seen were showing the new Notifications functionality with these apps being used as examples yet when I turned this amazing device on, none of these apps were there.
    Someone clue me in to what I might be missing here.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    After I posted my question, I saw many similar questions with the same answers. Thanks for the help. Seems strange to me to not include these great apps and I totally forgot about the Clock & Calculator...
    I wonder if iOS 5 might return add them to the iPad?
    Cheers,

  • Why does my iPad keep going to blank screen both in apps and safari?

    My iPad sometimes just closes while on safari or in apps. Why is this happening? What can I do?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • IPad kicks me out of apps and safari

    While using my iPad it will sometimes kick me out of apps and or the Internet ( safari).    I've closed out apps running in the background, powered down and restarted but it still occurs.  Any suggestions?

    (A) Try closing all apps in multi-task windows
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
    3. The app will fly off the screen
    (B) Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home buttons down until you see the Apple Logo
