I was using my iPad this a.m. but this afternoon, it was frozen-up

Hi,
usually, yes, you should allow access to the computer.
If you do, you should see an iTunes menu, and the options for synchronizing various information between the computer and the iPad.
however... as of today, there are going to be major changes made by Apple to the iTunes app. The iTunes app has been removed after doing the latest update, #12.3.1, to bel replaced by something else, which is expected to be announced this afternoon.

somif you haven't updated your iPad yet, you may be able to connect and use iTunes until the next app is released and explained.

Hi:

Try a hard reset. It forces your iPad to turn Off and then On.

Hard Reset Your iPad. A hard reset forces your iPad to abruptly turn off and back on, which will usually fix the problem if your iPad has frozen on the Apple logo. Press and hold the power button and the Home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Then, let go of both buttons.

Did you try to delete the app and then reinstall it? did you reset the iPad, by pressing both the home and on / off button till the apple logo comes on? then wait about one minute and press the on / off button, till the iPad switches on again. After again one minuter the iPad should work correct. Or perhaps you could restore the latest backup you mad on iTunes (on the computer)

Press and hold both the home button (on the front) and the power button (top Right) until the iPad powers off and then on again.

You need to connect the iPad with an USB-cable to a computer and open iTunes software. there you will see your iPad showing up and you can do a restore: Restore iPad to new factory condition

Hi Bob

First thing you can do is to reset it by pushing the Power Button and the Main Button at the same time you have to do this for at least 30 seconds. This will perform a hard reset on the ipad and it should turn off.

Once its off use the power button to turn the ipad on again. This should resolve this issue.

Have a great day
Philipp

I don't know the hard reset procedure for this so I can't help you there. I would suggest taking the battery out for a minute or so and then put it back in. That will most likely work and probably be what you need to do as well anyways.

does anybody knowwhere to send it for repair

If the iPad has frozen on a screen press and hold both the lock and home buttons for about 30 seconds. This will hard reset the iPad and it should then boot normally.

Sorry, adobe flash player is not supported on any apple device, so you cannot use it, and there are also no fully functional alternatives.
