  • Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

  • Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

  • My IPad Air is frozen with a white screen and Apple Logo on it.

    My Ipad Air is frozen with the white screen and apple logo.  I've tried resetting it several times and that doesn't help.  I tried connecting to ITunes, but it isn't recognizing the device. 
    The battery is fully charged, at least for now, so I am not sure what else to try.

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

  • Why does my iPad often lose the Wifi connection?

    Hello all -
    Often when I am using my iPad at home (which is where i use it 95% of time), the WiFi connection will simply disappear - sometimes every 2 minutes of so.  Sometimes, when I pull up the "Utility" screen from the bottom (sorry, don't know the correct name), and then unclick the WiFi connection, wait a few seconds, and turn it back on - the connection comes back.  But that probably only works 10-30% of the time.
    The way I can always make it come back is to go to the Settings app, click on Wifi, where it shows no connection.  Then if I turn on WiFi, after a couple of seconds I see my network appear under the "Choose a Network..." section, and then a few seconds later, see it appear in the top section.
    Does anybody know why this might be happening and what I can do to fix it?
    Thanks.

    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

    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping 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

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Why does my ipad suddenly leave the app I am using and go back to the main screen

    When I am using apps on my ipad it suddenly leaves the app and reverts to the main screen, does anyone know why this happens?? Is it a problem with the ipad?? Doesn't happen with any particular app, seems to affect all apps. And it doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes, very annoying. Any ideas as to what could be going on

    This is typically a memory issue - meaning, you have too many apps running. You don't mention your device and iOS version so it's difficult to say. Try this...
    Double click the Home button and close all open apps.
    Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Why does my iPad first gen. Kick me off FB and games if I try to read an ?entry, it turns off..

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • 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 2 keep dropping the connection to my BT Home Hub, whilst streaming video, since upgrading to IOS 6?

    Ever since i have upgraded to IOS6 My connection to my BT Hub 3 wifi router keeps dropping out whenever i am streaming video. I have an Apple TV connected as well which is fine as are other devices, its just the Ipad since the move to IOS6. It is really frustrating and i had hoped the 6.01 release would have resolved it, but it didnt. I have seen other similar comments, i just want to know if this is a common known fault which Apple are going to fix.
    The strength of Apple has always been 'it just works' , i can't help but feel that there are cracks appearing in this.

  • Why does my IPad 2 keep re-wiping after I restore and reconnect to the exchange server?

    For some unknown reason my IPad was wiped via my companies exchange server (2007)
    I did not initiate a wipe from the exchange server, my IT department did not either and I did not have 10 failed attempts to login.
    Here is the story:
    -My email access gets locked here at work.
    -My IT department unlocks my email
    -Then I go to our exchange server>options and remove the IPad from the device list.
    -Then I plug my IPad 2 into my Mac, open Itunes and restore successfully. Then I go to my mail settings, I re-connect to our exchange server successfully and see my most recent emails.
    -Then several minutes later it suddenly wipes again
    -Then I receive the notification Remote Device Wipe Confirmation
    (then I repeat the entire process and get the same result)
    **I have the Iphone 4 and I am connected to the same server, without problems
    Here is what I have:
    IPad 2 Software ver. 5.0.1
    Mac OS 10.6.5
    Microsoft Exchange 2007

    I would recommend as soon as you restore the iPad go in and delete the exchange account from your device.  It may have a cached entry causing the wipe command to continue to execute.  You may ultimately need to restore it without the backup and set the account up again.

  • Why does my ipad keep needing to be reconnected to itunes?

    For the second time in less than a month, my iPad 2 shows the screen that requires reconnected to iTunes.  Everything was working fine yesterday, but when I went use the iPad this morning, a reconnect was needed. 
    Help.  If I don't have a computer with me, the iPad has just become a very expensive paper weight.

    Maybe I need to ask the question in a different way.  The iPad was working fine and then for no reason, it required a connection to iTunes.  A reset did not take care of the problem.
    Since this is the second time something like this has happened, I am concerned that it will happen again when I am in a situation where I don't have access to a computer (or Apple Store).
    What might be causing the problem and what can be done to prevent it from happening again?

  • IPad won't turn on, cvcles update bar and apple logo

    Hi guys
    My iPad won't turn on after I tried to charge it last night.  What happens is I'll try and turn it on and it will go on to the Apple Logo, then the little bar will appear as if it is updating. The bar will get to about 2% of the way across, then the bar will disappear. Sometimes it will get to the lock screen for a brief moment before going straight back to the Apple Logo. This will just repeat persistently. I have tried holding the home button and lock button together, and all this does is get rid of the update bar, but the logo screen cycles. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?

    Hello,
    My iPad 2 has never been "paired" with any PC.  My one and only PC is corrupted and will not, after many many attempts, download iTunes.  When I turn on my iPad it insists that I connect to my iTunes.  How can I avoid this and just get the iPad to work like normal?  Any help is much appreciated

    You cannot do anything with the iPad until you do as instructed by the iPad and connect to iTunes on a computer.
    You probably need to restore the iPad and the only way to do that is via iTunes on a computer.
    Take it to an Apple Store and ask for help at a Genius bar or take it to a friend's house that is running iTunes on their computer and try to restore it.
    You will lose all of your data and settings now because you never backed the iPad up in the past.
