When I try to delete an Appl the iPad locks up and I need to shut it down & reboot it to get it unlock. This started after a recent IOS update install. Can I reload the IOS without losing everything.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Reloading the iOS without losing anything would be restoring a backup. Make a backup of the device, then restore to that backup. If that does not help, then restore the device as new, not from a backup, and sync content back individually.

Thanks Chris,
I needed to restore it as an new iPad to eliminate the problem. Believe it initially occurred after I updated the IOS recently. Probably the best part of this solution was it forced me to clean up unwanted items on the iPad.
I'm glad you were able to work things out.
