Why does my iPad 2 keep on automatically locking while using anything ?

While I'm using my iPad, it automatically locks for some reason. Even when I'm just playing apps or swiping the screen , I need help to fix it ?

1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    Why does my iPad mini keep shutting off every two seconds?

    I doubt that anyone here can answer that question with any validity...
    That being said, try to reset the device:
    *Device reset*
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • Why does my ipad mini keep glitching.  We keeps randomly doing stuff on its own while on not even touching it?  I've tried restarting it by holding down lock and home button about a thousand times, it never works.  so could you please help?? thanks(:

    why does my ipad mini keep glitching!! /:

    Your iPhone doesn't require as much power to charge as your iPad needs so there is a possibility that the charge could have a problem even though you were able to charge the phone. If you can try a different power adapter and still have no luck, then the only thing left - IMO - is to contact Apple support and see what they advise.
    BTW  ....   Copied from your first post ...
    i then decided to do a reset or restore by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button down.
    I'm not trying to be a nitpicker - but what you described is a hard reset and your post gave no indication that you tried a software restore - which I referenced in my post. That's why I suggested the restore.
    Many times restoring the iPad to factory settings can help "revive" the device. If you have tried restoring according to the two support articles that I directed you to and still have no success, you are probably out of luck getting any further help on this site. That's all that you can try at this point at least AFAIK.

  • 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.

  • Why does my iPad 1 keep crashing on apps?

    I want to know why my iPad 1 keeps crashing after so long on an app, it seems to be on the majority of my apps that I have on here, just wondering what it could be, is it a internal fault or is it a app thats causing the problem.
    If anyone can help me on this would be appreciated greatly!!

    PROBLEM SOLVED
    I installed iOS 5 on my iPad 1 when it came out in October 2011. Everything worked fine. Sometimes around the beginning of January, apps began to crash. First it was a few a week, but by the eginning of February, most of them would crash after running for a few minutes. Many would not restart untill I did a full reboot. My iPad became essentially useless.
    After fighting this problem for almost two weeks, reading as many forums as possible, I did many things that DID NOT solve the problem. Here they are in the order I tried them.
    Removed all working programs and rebooting the iPad - no effect
    Removed over 50 apps (from 200) that I was not really using - no effect
    Restored network setting via setttings - no effect
    Restored all settings via settings. This re-installed everything via iCloud - no effect
    Connected my iPad to my computer and did a restore and used a previous backup - no effect
    Then, I remembered that other people were having problem with iCloud and that I had added services to iCloud around the beginning of the year. So I
    Went into settings >> iCloud and disabled every iCloud service except the Find my iPad service. I rebooted my iPad and I have been crash free for three days.
    So the problem IS iCloud.
    Apple knows that there are other problems with iCloud and plans to fix it in the next release 5.0.2. In the meantime, try my solution and report to this forum if it works for you too.

  • Why does my Ipad screen keep freezing even after rebooting

    My ipad screen keeps freezing and remains stuck. So in the last hour this has happened 3 times after hard "reboots". Can someone explain whats going on? Uwas not downloading anything ..only looking at Facebook.

    Hello, Nina1711. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Test the responsiveness of the iPad after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, check to make sure you have space available on the iPad in Settings/General/About.  If there is no space available you may want to remove unwanted Apps or media as this can cause the unit to become unresponsive.  If these steps have been processed with the issue persisting, you will need to restore the device.  Make sure to backup the device prior to restoring.

  • HT4623 Why does our ipad 3 keep shutting down

    Our Ipad 3 shuts down while using it, sometimes it resets and other times it does nothing. It is at the point to where you cannot even use it because it shuts down so much...less than two years old.

    I would suggest a reset by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears if this was a once r twice occurrence, but since it happens repeatedly, I would just bite the bullet and restore the iOS software. If that doesn't help, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them to take a look at the iPad.
    Your battery might be going, there could be a short ... Something hardware related that you would not be able to fix on your own.

  • 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.
    David

    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

  • Why does my Ipad Mini keep shutting of by itself!?

    A couple of days ago i took my Ipad mini to get repaired for a shattered screen. When i use it now it randomly shuts itself down (fully charged). Does that have anything to do with the screen not being installed properly or something? Is it just the ipad, if so, why is it doing that and how could it be fixed!? Help me out please!

    A shutdown can happen for lots of reasons, but given the history of your device, it's wise to visit your Apple Store. The issue may lie with an improper repair, but it may also be that there's other damage that happened as result of the shattered screen. The RAM may be damaged, as well.
    Back up your data. Perform a soft reset, just in case that works. If not, visit your friendly Apple Store/Genius Bar. And please post with the results.

    It's not turning on at all, it turned off and won't respond to any buttons. I've tried to charge and all it does it turn on to the apple screen than turn back off, and does this the whole time while on the charger. I tried recoverying it through itunes also, and that didn't work either.

    Hello Ivory76
    Start with the article below to troubleshoot issues with your iPad freezing on you. It will go from dealing with apps not responding to the device not responding. You may need to restore your iPad as a new device and test it that way.
