Why does my ipad shut dowm when i try to open anything.

When trying to open words with friends, internet or anything ,my iPad2 will just close.  Any ideas?

@Carolyn .... Words with Friends is some sort of social networking app I believe.
@wodach2 .... If Carolyn's reset tip doesn't work, try these steps as well.
Try downloading another app - any free app will do. That seems to reset something and it may work for you. If not, try closing apps.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or try this ..... Settings>Safari>Clear history, cookies and cache. Restart the iPad as described above.
If all else fails, then the restore may be needed.

    Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. when the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should hopefully start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

  • Why does my computer shut down when i try to connect to the internet?

    I have recently found that when i'm trying to connect to the internet, a box is appearing something like This device does not exist, please check your settings and try again. My settings are fine, my wires are connected and i cant find any reason why the connection wouldn't work. I have shut down my computer and this hasn't helped when i have restarted it and now, the screen has gone dark with an scary box saying the computer has to restart itself. No reason is given (or at least i can't remember if there was a reason). My computer is going a bit slower now and is making a noise like an application is opening or the computer is doing something.
    Can anyone help???? I have only had my i baby for a few months. I do download stuff all the time and i have been known to leave my internet connection on for a day at a time. Could this have caused the problem?

  • 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.

  • Why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    why does google start up but when i try to access a web page it shuts off

    Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you are saying that the Safari screen is frozen/inactive then try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : 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.

  • Why does my Safari shut down when loading a page?

    Why does my Safari shut down when I'm trying to load a page?

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

    Why does my iPad shut down every minute and then come back on ?

    Try to reset your settings... Settings--general--reset (at bottom of list)--reset all settings
    Try an iOS software restore

    Otherwise you may need to have apple repair the device
