iPad 2 freeze up (drop box + 'reset' related?)

[Korligan]

Hello,

My iPad is frozen in black-screen-with-spinning-"loading"-icon mode. (There's probably a name for this screen/mode).

I recently got an iPad 2 3G, 32 gig version. I've had it for about a week and have installed some 20 apps. I have been very happy with it.

Last night I tried to attach a PDF from my dropbox app to an e-mail, after opening it in documents 2 go. This caused my e-mail to freeze up in what seemd like "analysis paralysis", i.e. it initiated the e-mail app, but didn't load any content and all controls were fully frozen. The only option was to hit the home button and return to desktop.

Since the problem persisted I decided to do a reset, intiated from options. This started out normally, but then froze on the black load screen. The iPad is unresponsive to any input and if I plug it into my laptop/iTunes connection fails, with this message: "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000065)."

Has anyone here had a similar problem? Anyone know a fix for it?

Best,


Korligan

Turn the iPad off if possible.

Press and hold the Power and Home buttons together until the White Apple logo appears. Have faith - it will appear, but might take 20 seconds or so.

The iPad will reboot and all will OK, hopefully.
