iPad missing status bar

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)

Note: You will not lose any data.

You are wrong.

Remember, this forum is like a hospital, there is something wrong in every post.

Think about it, there are more than 250,000,000 iPhones out there and those enjoying it won't be here.

If things happens as you describe, the forum will have millions and millions more posts.

Unless you are a troll, but then why are you here.

Sorry if I offended. I was just expressing my frustration that over the past several years, more and more of the "fix" to a problem has become 'just do a reset, a hard rest, or a restore'.

That's precisely why I left the windows platform. I liked it better when 'it just works' instead of the well... Here's a try.... Model.

Not trolling, just expressing concern that it really should 'just work'.

Sorry if I offended.

I really hate to say this, but it seems like Apple is getting closer to windows: xxxxx doesn't work? Do a hard reset. Repeat as necessary.

I hope I'm wrong.

This hard reset did the trick, thanks.
