My iPad needs flinging through a window too. It just keeps switching off on its own. Angry

BolshierAyraStark · 25/05/2015 17:27

Anything with i at the front should be thrown through the window, tis overpriced shite.

TrulyTurtles · 25/05/2015 17:37

Mine won't copy and paste links and keeps freezing in the middle of a very long post. (Gods way of saying stop bloody drivelling on woman)

Is it an iPad mini 2? I had no problems with my original iPad 2 but it was getting old. I gave it to DH to use as a kindle and got a mini. I keep having the same problem. I phoned the helpline this am and they suggested resetting it as a new iPad! I don't have the energy atm.

Mumsnet has had a glitch on iPads for months. For no reason it flicks back to the homepage. At one stage they said they were fixing it. Don't throw your iPad tho, use it like I do as a way to limit time on mumsnet. After half an hour of this it's so annoying I give up and do something else like play Candy Crush for 2 hours!

My MN problem seemed to be fixed with a system update, but I now have an equally annoying problem with Google. Often when I start to type something in the search bar, the keyboard disappears mid word. Aargh!

Wibblypiglikesbananas · 25/05/2015 17:53

I'm glad you posted. I always MN on my iPad and for the past few weeks, I've had problems. If I read a thread and then go back to the main AIBU or Chat page, none of the links to the actual threads work. I then have to shut the page down completely and start again. The iPad is pretty new, only bought at Xmas, and all other web pages seem to work fine. I've run all updates too. Grr...

letscookbreakfast · 25/05/2015 17:57

Are you all using Safari on the iPad's? I use Chrome on mine and I've never had a problem.

tilliebob · 25/05/2015 18:09

My iPad Air often trips back to the home page from a number of discussions on MN. There's no rhyme nor reason for it but it gets on my funbags hugely when it does it Confused

Songlark · 25/05/2015 18:25

Does anyone else have trouble with the chargers? I'm sick of having to buy new ones, they don't seem to last longer than a month!

BishopBrennansArse · 25/05/2015 18:27

Yeah I use chrome rather than safari as a browser, really helps. But my iPad 2 is getting old and clunky now tbh.

Aaaaarrrgghh...it's still happening!

We'll agree to disagree then, stuck with an apple for 18 months & hated the thing-switched back to Sony & way happier.

mycatlikestwiglets · 25/05/2015 19:19

I've had ipad issues with Mnet for weeks but it's only on the "proper" site - mobile site is fine. I was so fed up I considered having a break from mnetting but decided switching to the mobile site was less drastic Grin

Fingeronthebutton · 25/05/2015 19:24

I don't know why but mine has come back to normal. I hope I haven't spoken too soon.
The only thing I've done, is: someone said turn off cookies. I did this and it buggered another website. This evening I put cookies back on and it's fine.
Have you read the 'site stuff' thread. MN know about the problem and are trying to fix it.

Thelastthneed · 25/05/2015 19:29

We've given up.on our iPad. It is so s l o w when trying to search in Chrome and Safari...

Primafacie · 25/05/2015 20:35

OP, my iPad did the same thing as yours for weeks, it drove me mental away from MN. After updating the IOS and switching it off and back on a few times, I'm happy to report it's now fine again. I don't know what the issue was but I guess that means there's light at the end of the tunnel for you?

Hubblez · 25/05/2015 23:15

Mine has the same issue and has had for ages. If you go to the bottom of the screen and choose 'mobile site' instead of the desktop layout, then it works fine. Desktop layout did used to work but as you said keeps sending itself back to home screen. Both layouts look very similar anyway

Fatmomma99 · 25/05/2015 23:21

The reason's OBVS. You must all be really dumb not to have worked it out.

Things like i-pads are designed by MEN. It's a conspiracy they've built into the software so that they're not challenged by women.

How could you not know/realize that.

(some people are such girls!)
