  • Why does the screen on my iPad mini jump around?  Apps open and close, I can't get back to the home screen.  Is my mini possessed?

    Why does the screen on my iPad mini start jumping--larger, smaller--can't close apps.  I reboot and still it happens.  Any suggestions?

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • HT4436 can i use icloud with my pc if all the files on my pc significantly exceed the capacity of my ipad and iphone?

    I want to back up my PC files to icloud but all by files are significantly more than  the capacity of my ipad and iphone. Can I still back them up to icloud?

    iCloud will not backup your PC, only your IOS devices will be backed up, so it doesn't matter how much is on your PC.
    Use Windows Backup.

  • Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over

    Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

  • Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides

    Why does the keyboard on my iPad split into two sides?

    To elaborate a little more Nick, that is a feature designed to make it easier to type when holding the iPad with both hands.
    If you tap the icon in the lower right of the keyboard, you will see the option to Merge the keyboard back together. If you hold the icon and drag your finger up and down, you will move the keyboard.
    Hope that helps!

  • Why is the Music UI in iPad iOS 5 so lame?

    Why is the iPad Music UI in iOS 5 so lame looking?

    It's the way that it is because Apple have designed it that way. Why is it 'lame' ?

  • Why does the speaker in my IPAD 3 stop working intermittently?

    The speakers on my IPAD 3 with the latest operating system sometimes stop wotking, then return later.  Why?

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

  • Why do the speakers on my iPad get hot?

    Well I was playing 'the missing' on my iPad and I noticed that the speakers are quite warm.
    The battery level was 51%. Why is this happening?

    Well, by extension they might :-) But Diavonex is right, the whole iPad case generally heats up, especially when charging or doing something CPU intensive like playing 3D games.

  • Why has the keypad of my iPad moved to the center of the screen?

    The keypad of my iPad now shows up in the middle of the screen and it's so difficult to read and type.

    Tap on the "keyboard" button at the bottom right of the keyboard, and choose the obvious option.

  • Why does the inbox on my iPad say I have unread email?

    I have no unread messages in my Exchange Inbox but my iPad says I have 744 messages unread. Why is this?

    That's because your mail account is a POP account. That means that even when you delete or read a message on one of your devices, it stays unread on the server. If you log in to your mail account on the website and delete the messages, they won't be coming to your devices any longer. But the once which already came to your iPad must be deleted manually.

  • Why is the Pages app for iPad Mini not working?

    For the last few days I have been having major issues with the word processing application Pages for the iPad. It is taking a very long time to show me my documents, then it takes just as long to open up documents. Then when it finally opens up the document I have selected; the entire functionality is extremely slow and sluggish.
    I turned the iPad on and off several times to see if that would help. I deleted the pages app. I even freed up some extra space on the iPad. None of these things have resolved anything.
    If it is at all relevant I am using the most recent version of Pages (especially since I re-downloaded it). I am also using the latest version of iOS 8 on the iPad. My iPad is synched to iCloud. I have a maximum storage capacity of 20 gb (to which I have only used 675 kb). I am using the first generation iPad Mini (which is the very first iPad mini)
    What could be the problem?
    Should I reset the factory settings of the entire iPad? I'm at a loss of how to resolve this.

    The problem may be due to slow internet access to icloud where the document is being stored and saved.
    Try creating a new document which is not on iCloud to see how the performance is.

  • Why do the itunes on my ipad not show on my laptop for same account

    I shop at the ITunes store and wonder why when I purchase a song from my IPad it does not show on my laptop.

    If you haven’t enabled automatic downloads, it won’t show up there unless manually put on it, which can be done by transferring it from the iPad or redownloading it from the iTunes Store.

  • Why does the screen on my IPad 3 go blank before it allows me to "slide to unlock"?"

    I recently bought the iPad3.  When I turn it on, I see the home screen and the "slide to unlock", but I can't do anything until the screen goes blank.  Then I have to press the home button and the "slide to unlock" becomes accessible.  Is this normal?  Thanks!

    I found apple service by calling number on the new ipad manual that comes in the ipad box. At the end pages of that manual there is number for support and service. You can also try to learn service number from the store you bought it. Or you live in a country which has Apple Store, give it to them to test it.
    I thought it was a software issue too. I'm good on using software. I struggled a lot to find the trick. I searched net about it and saw it happens with ipads, iphones, android phones, generally touch screens. Don't accept ro reset your device advice if it is repeating.
