I put airplane mode on when I would face huge roaming charges on my smart phone when out of my calling area. This eliminates calls and texts. However, I go into settings and simply turn wifi back on. Airplane mode can be on but you can still use free wifi hotspots when you turn the wifi setting back on. Email works well.

After several weeks of funky running on my iPad, I went to settings and dumped the history, and no more issues. Try it?

Yes, I do have a grand who "plays" on iPad.......and the magic of turning it off, count to 10, then on again works too.....how do I clear my history.....that may work too...... These things are fun, but they can be scary too!!

How do you turn the I-pad off for a few minutes?

Oh yes...I hide IPad and iPhone. As I found 10 selfies not too long ago...no big deal. ..but I like boundaries.

Press and hold the off switch for a couple seconds and an icon will come up that you swipe from left to right. Turns it completely off. You should do this with all tablets and cell phones for 30 seconds once a month. This is for all cell phones and tablets not just apple products. Each time you do, it allows the onboard computer to reset and update as it needs to for optimal operation.

To clear your history on an iPad- go to settings click on it, scroll down the left side until you see safari and click it. When it opens, scroll down the right side until you see "clear all history and website data, and click it. I will warn you that after you do this, you may have to re enter your passwords on any site that you have saved a password for. Doesn't't affect all of them, but just wanted to warn you. Make sure you know your passwords before you do this, just in case.
Turn your iPad off and wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. You will be amazed. It is like having a brand new iPad! Everything works like it used to.

This happens regularly to my iPad. I shut off the power, count to ten and start up again. Always solves the issue.
