iPad freezing when playing video.

I have my ipad2 9 months now and only last 2 months it starts to freeze (every 2 minutes)every catch up, you tube movie.

However streaming of live programs is not to bad and often i can watch them without freezing up.

The reason i have an ipad isbecuase of watch catch up programs on itv, bbc, 4od, etc.

I NEED a fix!!!!

Bought the new iPad, fails just like the original. CNN CBS fox doesent matter. Runs a few seconds then stops. Watched 2 hours last night on laptop untilmate 7. Same network no problems. Useless for video. Really disappointed to see it has been happening forever with no fix. I've been a Microsoft hater forever, but at lease it works!

You have a network issue if it doesn't happen with the dedicated video player. Try a different network. If that fails, hard reset. If that fails, restore it as a new device. If that fails, go to the genius bar and see if they can find anything hardware related or simply swap it out.

You should check a couple things:

Storage (disk space) left on you iPad: Settings > General > Storage (you'll have probs if this is shy - video needs space)

Memory: Really quit all open apps:

1. While on main screen Double click Home button
2. now touch and hold one of the Apps. (You should see 'jiggling apps' at bottom of screen)
3. Click the circle with the minus sign on it. for each app

Even if this doesn't fix your current problem. It's worth knowing, and one of the 2 (normally memory) is often the cause of App crashes.

HTH
