Why is my iPad running slow

Do you have tons of apps running in the background? Double-click on the Home key and then press on the first icon in the list that shows at the bottom. That will cause them all to shake, and an "X" will show in the upper left-hand corner. Press the "X" on each one to close them.

This does not cause any loss of data or anything else. Just closes apps running in the background. They can really start to add up after awhile. Sometimes I forget to do it for awhile, and then I find myself having to close 20 or 30!!!

Also, a reset never hurts. Again, you won't lose anything. Press the Home button and the Power button at the same time and hold them both down until the Silver Apple appears. Once the reset is complete, your Slide to Unlock screen will display as usual.

Hope this helps!

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.

2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

Copy Cat!!! 😝

No Copy Cat 🙂

You tap the "X"

I tap the minus sign.

Oh - you're right! Not totally a copy cat!!! And you are RIGHT as well!!! It is a minus sign....was thinking of the delete "X" when we hold down a regular icon on the Home screen!!!

YOU WIN!!! 😀
