Using iPad Air with iOS 7.1, Cellular and a WiFi, 128 (the largest one)

I am finding I am still getting exited to my home screen at times. It just now happened again. I was in Facebook and just deleted an entry. I don't keep old entries on my Facebook and "cleanse" it regularly. It exited me out to my Home Screen. It has been turned off and off and all that neat stuff since updating. It has happened in the mail utility that comes on the iPad periodically, and has happened in photos. This all after the update.

It isn't happening as much,but still seems to be a tad unstable.

Hello - just start w/ the usuals (directions below), i.e. 'Force Close' those apps that are misbehaving; if not useful, then 'Reset' the iPad - not sure if you did just a 'Restart' or a 'Reset' - post back if these maneuvers have helped - good luck! Dave :)

When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:

1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up):
a. iOS 6.x - press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.
b. iOS 7.x - find the offending app - then press and drag to the top of the screen - return to the home screen & try again.


2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.


3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
