Why does my iPad reset randomly

My iPad 1 resets spontaneously every 3-4 minutes. How do I fix this?

Sounds like it is crashing. Try resetting it your self by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears.

    Why does my iPad reset itself all the time?

    Hello!
    The same happened to my yesterday night when I was charging my iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1. My first impression was that could it be and auto update (to install iOS 6.1.2) however I'm still on 6.1.
    It erased ALL my info and shows the initial configuration wizard......this is totally a mega ***!!!!!!

  • Why does my ipad 2 randomly click on everything?

    I got an ipad 2 for christmas and it worked properly for about a week, after that week it started clicking randomly on apps without me being anywhere near it, it randomly clicks on letters when i am trying to type, it returns back to the homepage when i want to go on something. It started off being once in a while, but now its everytime i switch the ipad on, sometimes i cant use anything on there at all. I had to fill out a request form and i couldnt even get the serial number off as it kept clicking off and clicking onto whatever else it wants. I have not damaged the ipad at all, iv'e kept it safe at all times, yet it does this?
    can someone let me know why its doing this and if there is a way of fixing it??
    thanks,
    Katy.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Why does my IPad Mini randomly play music while i play games

    Random music plays while I play games. Does this happen to anyone else?

    Sorry there are some typos above, but you should be able to figure out what I'm asking. Let me know if you have tha same problem, know how to fix it, or know if apple is aware of the problem and is adressing it in a future update.

    Why does my iPad randomly close either the app or the internet I'm working on?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Why does my iPad 2 type random letters?

    Why does my iPad 2 type random letters?

    It happens when I am trying to write emails, enter username or password info.  If a backspace to delete, often other numbers or letters appear.  In playing words with friends, the letters I am trying to place end up all over the board--do not go where I want them to.  My screens become "shakey" and if I shut down it usually corrects it--but not always.  The iPad 2 is less than a year old.  Might have to make an appt. at an Apple store unless you have another suggestion.  Thanks

  • 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.

  • Why does my Ipad start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own frequently?

    Why does my Ipad suddenly start changing screens and sites randomly on it's own?  It's like it spazzes out rather frequently for no apparent reson.

    It's hard to say why, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. See if this stops it.

  • Why does my iPad shut down randomly

    Why does my iPad shut down randomly

    Generally? it's like when a computer crashes. the operating system gets over whelmed and shuts down or reboots.
    Sometimes it's not that big of a deal, other times it may be caused by an app with a glitch or error. Sometimes your iPad is fine, but the app has an error in it.
    One thing to do is to do a reset. hold down the sleep and home button for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let it reboot. Often if there's any sort of glitch or 'oops' the reset and reboot will allow the iPad's memory to clear and resolve the issue.

    Can anyone help me?  Why does my ipad kick me out of FB?  Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top?  I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop.   I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL.  It is WIFI and internet via AT&T?   Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings???  Thank you very much! 

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • Why does my iPad no longer display email messages?

    My iPad suddenly stopped showing the body of emails, both for my iCloud account and for my Google mail account. I discovered that if I click to either reply or forward a message a truncated version of it appears with no attachments or graphics. I didn't change any settings or anything before it happened. What do I do to get the body of email messages to show up again?

    Try this first - 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.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
