Ipad not working correctly?

Easy things to try first

District-owned iPads should never be taken to an outside service for any type of repairs or maintenance. Here are the steps you should take before asking your teacher or putting in a tech support ticket at Talawanda Student Help Desk.

Relaunch

If you’re having trouble with a particular app, try quitting out of and re-opening the app.

Double-tap the Home button to bring up a list of all open apps
Swipe left or right to scroll through the list
Swipe up on the troublesome app to quit out of it
Tap the Home button to return

Hard Reset

Sometimes your iPad may start to act funny, such as running slow or freezing up. If this ever happens to you, there’s an easy solution that usually takes care of the problem right away. That solution is simply to perform a hard reset on your iPad.

A hard reset your iPad is not the same as restoring it to a previous backup or resetting to factory settings. Some people often get the two confused. Resetting an iPad just means that your data and settings will be refreshed, which helps to reset buggy apps among other things. Basically, it’s like the restart function on your computer.

See the image to the right...

1. Hold down the on/off button and home button at the same time.

2. Keep holding; you need to hold both buttons down for about 10 seconds.

3. While holding, you may see the “slide to power off” screen show up; just ignore this.

4. You’ll know that your device has been successfully refreshed once the Apple logo displays on the start up screen; you can now release the buttons.

5. Wait for your iPad to start up; usually after a hard refresh, it can take 1-2 minutes.

Clear Safari Web Browser History and Data

If web pages in the Safari browser do not seem to be working correctly do following: Go to Settings->Safari->Clear History and Website Data->Press

Airplane mode toggle

Airplane mode disables Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth—all the wireless transmission functions. By toggling Airplane Mode on and then back off it forces the iPad to reconnect to the closest wireless hotspot.

Check location services

Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
Make sure that Location Services is on.
