Why does my iPad freeze and crash?

WHen I log into my iPad I put in my password and then the home screen appears and it freezes. I cannot do anything. The screen does not work. After a few minutes it restarts on its own. This has happened several times in a matter of a few days. Does anyone know why this is happening And to fix the problem ?

There are not too many ways to fix an iPad.  Try these.  Could try to hock up to iTunes and read the logs.
Re-boot ipad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.  page 128 iPad user manual.
force power down if the above give you trouble.
Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more.  Hold until the Apple logo appears.

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
   Do a full backup of your device.  Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

At last resort you could consider DFU (Device Firmware Update).  This could void your warranty.

  • Why does my Finder freeze and crash?

    My Finder is stressing me out!
    I was expereincing a very stressful situation with my Mac yesterday when it suddenly froze and wouldnt respond. When i restarted it it went to a blank white screen with no other progress. I reinstalled Mac OS X Lion, and the solution worked. My MacBookPro came back to life, and I didnt slit my wrists. However, there was one serious glitch that I havent been able to resolve since.
    It's my Finder. I can view all the different folders on the left hand side except my Movies folder. When I click on it to see the files contained within, it freezes goes through the little rainbow ball for a while, then crashes. HELP!!!!!!

  • Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

    Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

    I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
    that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
    The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.

  • 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 iphone 6 freeze and is blury

    Hi, I just bought a 16gb iphone 6 8 days ago and since then I have updated the phone 4 times because with ios 8.1.2 the phone is freezing and is blury, does anyone have a solution?

    Hello, BriceQc.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that your iPhone 6 will not default to your Wi-Fi network unless in Airplane Mode.  I would need a little more information regarding your router type, password protocol used and iOS software installed to provided a better answer.  However, try updating your router firmware and go through the troubleshooting steps in the article below.

  • Why does my Firefox freeze and Flash crash whenever I run a Flash video with 3.6.13 when it doesn't with 3.6.12?

    I got the notice a few days ago that 3.6.13 was available. I immediately downloaded it and installed it. I found that after when I went to YouTube that if I loaded any video that when I went to play it Firefox froze until Flash crashed. I reloaded 3.6.12 and the problem went away.

    IF you are running AVG (Free); try this:
    -Open the AVG window (double click on the icon in the system tray). - Double Click on "Link Scanner" in the main window. -Under the "Settings" portion, deselect the "Enable Search-Shield" and the "Enable Surf Shield" options.
    I hope this works for you! Post back if it does!
    I've read that other anti-virus programs can also "create" this problem. . . .not familiar with them though.

  • Why does my iPad keep on crashing on the calendar app

    Hi,
    I'm a student and the last thing that you want to forget is Homework. I like to keep organised every year with all my homework in the calendar app that apple provide so it will alert me when homework has to be in and started. However I click on march and it then crashes every time! I don't know why. It's fine on January and Febuary but when u click on march 2013 it crashes.
    Please help,
    It's an iPad 2 by the way and on the latest iOS 6.0.1.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • Why does my ipad 3 keep crashing

    My ipad 3 16g wifi keeps crashing. Also I have noticed recently the ipad gets quite hot.last week it crashed and was totally unresponsive for around 2 hours,and had a complete battery drain(from 25%  to zero)it came back on by it self. I then updated to the latest software but it still crashes. The games that I play are real racing 3 and fifa14,but it's not just games that it crashes,also when I'm internet browsing.

    I suggest you take it to an Apple store for diagnosis (free, repairs are not).

  • HT1349 Why does my ipad freeze

    Not only does it freeze, but it stopped working for twelve hours. I couldn't  start it at all. Then this morning I gave it a go pressing the start button for a long time and it has just started. I was using 3G yesterday one of the few times I have and wonder if my SIM card could be responsible. It started playing up when I was using safari.

    Don't know really but a reset might help. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
