Why I cannot turn off the iPad at first attempt?

I got my iPad few weeks back (32GB + 3G).
The only strange thing I encounter so far is may be 4 out of 5 times, when I tried to turn off the iPad, it will jump back to the lock screen again.
On the second attempt then I can turn off the iPad.
What could be the problem? should I send in for a replacement?

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Perhaps you have an app running. Try force quitting.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If that doesn't make a difference, reset your iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds until you see the Apple logo.
Make sure your iPad software is up to date. Connect the iPad to your computer. Launch iTunes if it doesn't open automatically. Under the Summary tab click: Check for Update

  • IPAD Mini Freezing up in installation mode as it is installing Update iOS 8.1.3 . I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini .  How do I resolve this problem?

    iPAD Mini purchased for Xmas 2013 is freezing as it tries to complete the installation of the iOS update 8.1.3.  The screen his frozen on the installation mode and I cannot turn off the iPAD Mini.  How do I turn off the iPAD Mini and resolve this problem?

    Try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go. Also, it is iOS 8.2 that you are trying to install since that is the current version. I had no problems updating my mini today so hopefully yours will go well too.

    hope you didn't have GREEK keyboard selected

    to see other sufferers - if you had a greek keyboard then you need to set it to english/french etc
    to do that you need to unlock your ipad
    to unlock your ipad you need to re-set your keyboard
    to do that you need a greek keboard
    to get your greek keyboard back you need to unlock your ipad
    and so on and son
    thank you apple

    Assuming you mean that you performed the repair yourself, it would seem that you either obtained a defective screen or you did some sort of damage when you replaced the screen. You can try asking for assistance on ifixit.com, a site dedicate to those attempting their own repairs, or you can take the iPad to a shop and pay them to try to correct the problem for you. Apple will no longer touch your iPad now that you've attempted your own repairs.

  • Documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD

    documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD,I can see the documents only when icloud is open on the PC

    When you turn off any device, it will disconnect from the internet. My sense is that you're not quite explaining what's happening. Do you mean that when you turn it back on again it doesn't automatically reconnect? Do you mean the if it just goes to sleep (as opposed to being powered off) that it switches from WiFi to cellular? Or are you saying that you think that when you turn off the iPad, the router disconnects?
    If you're trying to say that the iPad disconnects from WiFi when asleep and switches to cellular, the solution is to keep it plugged into a power source.
    Best of luck.

    Hold the power and home button down. That should reset it.

  • Turning off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes

    Quick question: How do I turn off the iPad screen when synchronizing with the iTunes. Is this even possible? Are there settings I am overlooking? Or perhaps a third-party app which can make it happen?
    I have a large library and often leave my iPad connected to iTunes for several hours at a stretch. The bright glowing screen can be a big distraction, and, more importantly I am very worried about pixel burn-in.
    Cheers,

    The iPad LED Backlit IPS Screen is not phosphor-based, so there is no permanent phosphor burn-in problem. You might see some image persistence, but that is not permanent and can be corrected. See this support article about image persistence: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2807
    Since you have already converted your music to 128 kbps, you are unlikely to see any more 10+ hour syncs unless you have to do a restore. In that event, you could select the brightness control in settings to the lowest level.
    FYI, there are some apps, such as Night stand HD that are designed to be used for long periods with unvarying displays and I have yet to see image persistence problems reported. However, since the iPad is still a new product, there may be some reports in the future.

  • Airplay streaming stops when you turn off the iPad screen

    Hi All,
    If you are streaming something from your iPad using Airplay, and you hit the button to turn off the iPad screen, it seems that the streaming stops...
    Is there any way to fix that?  I mean, if you are watching a long video, for example, you don't want your iPad to remain on the whole time.
    Any advice?
    - Thanx
    - Jon

    Jon-
    You are saying the AirPlay App does not work when the iPad goes to sleep.  Other Apps do, including the Music App, so you might expect AirPlay to work as well.
    Another limit may be the timer setting at Settings-General-Auto Lock.  Mine is set to 5 Minutes by default.  You may need to set yours to Never, to keep the iPad from sleeping while streaming.
    I suggest you provide feedback to Apple at <iPad Feedback>.

  • When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up

    When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly.  The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes.  Then, the ipad will start up properly.

    Have you tried 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.

  • TS1398 My macbook is connected to the internet, but my iPad just stopped connecting.  I have "forgotten" the network and restarted, and I have "turned off" the iPad.  It still says it's not connected to the internet, but the wifi signal is strong.

    My ipad was working, and then just said it wasn't connected to the internet.  I have forgotten the network and rejoined, I have turned off the ipad (slid on the arrow), and still no luck.  The macbook is working with no problem.  Help.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    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.

  • HT1212 iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

    iPhone5, the screen is damaged, never synced to iTunes, locked screen, cannot turn off the device...

    No. I would never take an iPhone to anyone other than Apple unless there was no alternative. You can get the display replaced on an iPhone 5 at most Apple stores for $149. If there's more damage, it will cost $229 for a full replacement. Both prices assuming you don't have AppleCare+.
    As I said, taking it elsewhere forfeits your ability to ever get it serviced by Apple. Apple does not sell iPhone parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All the parts you will find are either salvaged from damaged phones or counterfeit.
    If the phone is at all functional, you may be able to plug it into a computer and extract the photos and videos from the camera roll.

    After installing ios7, my ipad buttons stopped working, I can't even turn off the ipad. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

    Try to reset the device:
    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.
