We all face problems with our iPad devices at least once during its lifetime. It’s a great device alright but because of the rigorous usage, age or improper handling of the device, we may encounter some issues with these ipad devices. But as soon as a problem appears, one may try to troubleshoot that on their own before deciding to take the device to a service provider should their efforts be in vain. Let us see some general issues faced by ipad users and how to solve them.

TROUBLE WITH APPLICATIONS:

It is not a secret that an iPad can multitask. Users can simultaneously enjoy or use multiple number of programs and they always run in the background even after its usage to facilitate easy rebooting next time the application is accessed. But not closing the applications completely may result in the slowing down of the performance and the device may even freeze at times. So we must take care of freeing the memory to ensure this doesn’t happen.  One can close an application by first clicking the home button twice in a row. You can then press the minus sign button of the recently accessed apps which would appear in the upper left hand corner to permanently stop the application. This will free up some memory,

REBOOTING:

It’s a very well-known method of course. When you find yourself in a situation where you couldn’t access any application on the screen or if any of those are not working properly, simply reboot your device. This procedure is not only limited to ipads but also for all the devices like PCs, laptops, smartphones etc.

Press the Sleep/Wake button which is located on the upper rim of the device and hold it for a few seconds. When it’s powered down, just power it back on using the same button.

REINSTALLING THE APPS:

We cannot do anything if an application is corrupted and if it’s not working. But sometimes, we may come across situations where the uncorrupted application may not work properly. This problem can be simply solved by re-installing that particular app. But the users must take care of saving all the important data in that application because reinstalling that application erases all the past data.

WI-FI CONNECTION TROUBLESHOOTING:

Is your iPad not connected to the wireless internet in your house? It does happen sometimes and there is no reason to panic. If it’s a basic connection problem, you can solve it easily. You can restart the router device and bring your device close to the Wi-Fi router or you can just reboot your ipad device. The connection will be back on with no problems whatsoever.

These are all some of the basic software troubleshooting tips that you can do it yourself at home without unnecessarily spending time and money.

If the problem still persists even after the above measures are taken, then it’s time to take the device to a service provider. iPhoneBits Ltd is one of the top servicing centers for iPad repairs – Belfast.
