Bought IPAD 2 yesterday at BestBuy. Messing around this morning and managed to freeze up Safari. I managed to unstick it by holding down the onoff button and sliding the red slide that appeared. Is this a common occurance - the freezing up? Don't want to have to constantly reboot or whatever. Anybody have an idea what I did to cause this. I have used pc's for years, but don't have any idea how tablets really work and don't want to mess it up! Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

This is not a normal practice but it can happen sometimes as any pc, phone or electronic device will do, however is it happen to often then is not normal and I will take it back to Best Buy.

Not normal but it happens. You can just close down Safari *completely* and start it up again without having to reboot.

Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page.

Thank you. It has been smooth sailing since then as I learn to navigate. I think I gorked it with too much video at once.
