Why is my iPad kicking me out of my apps? It just started doing this recently. What's up?

My iPod Touch does this sometimes. A hard restart should fix it. On the iPad press and hold sleep/wake button for around five seconds. A red slider should appear. Then you just start it back up. An Apple logo should appear for about a minute while it reboots.

This happened to my iPod Touch once, along with not letting me listen to most of my songs. I’m pretty sure what happened was that a sync got interrupted while it was plugged into the computer. All it took was plugging it back into the computer and re-syncing it and it’s been working fine ever since then!

My ipad does weird stuff too. It started happening after an update I did a long while back. There have been other updates since, and I still have the same problems. I have my internet sometimes just close, I think it happens with apps too, I need to watch for it and let you know for sure. All too often I can’t shrink/minimize an internet page. I can open a new internet page, but then I can’t shrink that one either, I need to power off and reboot to fix it. It’s annoying.

My iPod Touch did this several times a day, and no amount of restarts or wiping out out and restoring it ever cured that. You are experiencing the reason I dislike iOS; as cool as it is in many ways, it is not reliable or stable.

Thanks guys! I meant get back here sooner.

@johnpowell The hard restart worked. Everything is fine now.

@mangeons I tried the easiest solution first so luckily I was able to avoid resyncing.

@JLeslie I’ve been having that problem recently too, not being able to resize web page, but after the hard restart I could do it. You might want to give it a try.

@jerv As far as the restart goes on my iPad, good so far. It fixed my problems.
