Q: I have a IPad 1 and it keeps turning off

Hey there Okanoganchar,

If I understand correctly you are opening the Facebook app on your iPad and it opens for a brief instant, and goes back to your Home Screen. I would start by quitting the Facebook app first:

Force an app to close in iOS

1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.

 
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:

iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
 

If that doesn't get it working correctly, you may need to delete and reinstall the app.

If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Delete and reinstall the app

1. Tap and hold the app until it jiggles.
2. Tap the  on the app.
   
3. Press the Home button.
4. Go to the App Store and download the app again.
5. Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
