Ipad PROBLEMS? See these 5 Tips
#1 Suggestion **ALWAYS**: Make sure iPad is not running multiple platforms at one time
Think of it like juggling: the more items to juggle the harder it is. Each app running in the background and each open browser tab is a ball to juggle. Two or three are manageable, but 10, 20 or 50 is hard. Yes, there have been students with 30 tabs open in Safari and 20 apps running in the background.
-
Click on the HOME BUTTON -- if there are any APPS open that the student is not using, close them.
-
Click on the SAFARI icon - close ALL the windows that are open.
#2 Suggestion: Clear Safari History and Website Data:
Settings >>> Safari >>> Clear History and Website Data >>> Clear >>> Close Tabs
-
Click on the Settings Icon (it looks like a Gear and is on the 1st screen of your child's iPad
-
Click on General >>>>>>> Click on Software Update
-
Before you add any updates make sure Automatic Updates is toggled on
-
If there is an update available, click Download and Install (This may take a while - do after class or in the morning before your PM class)
-
After the update is completed, turn the iPad off completely: hold down the button on the upper right hand corner - then slide the toggle to the right.
-
Wait 5-10 minutes and then turn the iPad back on
#4 Suggestion **ALWAYS**: Turn your iPad fully off, wait 5 minutes and then turn back on (see directions above)
-
You may have lost the connection (can see but not hear teacher, etc.)
#5 Suggestion: Do a Hard Re-Boot to re-set the iPad
-
Hold down the Home Button AND the Power Button at the same time until the iPad screen turns black. KEEP HOLDING until you see the white Apple logo in the middle of the screen.
