Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone else has trouble with their iPad freezing up. I bought mine in 2014 and for the past few months it just stops cold. I can unfreeze it by turning the iPad off and restarting it. Maybe it's the beginning of the end for this tablet.

What version do you have? Have you updated to the version? Is it all apps or just specific ones? I have the same issue on an older model especially on my library app.

I think at some point they all become obsolete meaning non-compatible with new updates, etc. I have 4 different models for different uses. It is only the older one that has issues. I don't like web-browsing on them and use a regular PC for that.

Hope that helps.

I don't have an iPad but my computer went out in December, 2017 & I just got it back yesterday. It's only 3 years old & they replaced the mother board & the hard drive. They don't make things like they use to. We bought a 3 year warranty on it & it expired on March 14. It's the first time we've ever been able to use a warranty that we purchased. So far all seems to be working correctly. Good luck with yours.

If you have an Apple Store within a reasonable distance, take it in..then will fix at n charge...at least it was for me...minei is 2hr drive one way, but worth it.

I always update it. Right now it's 11.2.6 version. It freezes on everything....Facebook, games, etc. The nearest Apple store is Orlando, an hr away. I didn't realize it could be recharged by them.
Thanks, ladies. Appreciate your input.

You can also call their toll free number and see if they can walk you through some things.

I had that very problem. Just got a new battery and it works great. Cost me $95.00. Lots less than a nerd iPad. Good luck.

Do you clear the history out? That might help.

Yes, that started happening to my old one and then I dropped it and that was the end of it.
My techie friend told me to always do the updates (which I used to ignore). That may not solve the problem of freezing but overall it's good for the tablet, or your computer etc.

Ps. My old one still works. The glass shattered so my son taped the whole thing. I may sell it on ebay for parts as someone can maybe install a new glass. I can't believe it still works!

I recently replaced mine because Apple was no longer going to issue updates for it. It had slowed considerably. It was the first version with the retina screen. This was before the “Air”. The store issued me about $100 credit on my old one when I turned it in.
