iPad reset itself randomly

I have got an iPad 3G two months ago, but the iPad automatically resets itself now. It has reset itself twice in this month. Once I view a video, or put the iPad on its dock. It wipes out all my files entirely and goes back to the original state.

Restored from my backup. Not working. Even suddenly the Apple logo appears on a black screen while it is chargering. What caused this problem? Any idea how I can fix it?

The backup could be corrupted. I did the clean restore (non-backup) and haven't had the problem with iPad resetting itself. This seemed to fix the problem for me.

iPad won't connect to my Linksys router

I have a Linksys WRT160N router at home but my iPad can't connect to the network. It can see the network but won't use it for anything.

I went to settings for the network on my iPad, but the fields like IP address, DNS server, etc are all blank.

On the router, I turned on DHCP, reset it. On the iPhone, I forgot the network and reconnect. The problem still remained.

There is an issue with an older version of the Linksys firmware. After I upgraded my firmware to the latest version and correctly rebooted the router, the problem solved.

iTunes deleting iPad apps while syncing

My computer running Windows 7 has installed the latest iTunes. It's very frustrating that the problem happen to me. The iTunes is automatically deleting all my iPad apps while syncing, only recognizes audio books.

I have to close iTunes and reopen it to re-sync. But all my data in each app are losing. Extremely annoying and make me unhappy.

The problem is that iTunes thinks your iPad is an iPhone. You can see that it talks about "iPhone" instead of "iPad" in the the device list at the left of the screen of iTunes.

Unfortunately, it is a fairly common problem and has no current fix. If you only see an iPhone over there, unplug the USB cable immediately before it syncs.

iTunes freezing while Syncing

Every time I try to sync, iTunes freezes and appears the message "Finding Purchased items on XXX's iPad"

It seems that this is related to iBooks and downloading content for it, such as the free Winnie the Pooh book. This apps checking for purchases will cause iTunes freeze on the computer.

I plug in iPad and cancel sync. Then delete iBooks and Winnie the Pooh app. Now it works no problem.

Use your iPad name on WiFi network

When your iPad connects to your WiFi networks, searching for its IP address may let you feel extremely annoyed. Because the address always changes while surfing on WiFi. But do you found out that you can use your iPad name on your network without IP numbers?

Just add a .local to the name that you gave your iPad on iTunes to login. For example, my iPad name on iTunes is goiPad, I don't use a cryptic IP address to reach your iPhone, just using goiPad.local.

To connect your iPad in the network via SSH and SFTP, just type the following command:

ssh -l root goiPad.local

Note: The name is case-sensitive.

iPad not syncing with HP running Windows 7

I has a HP laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. When I connect my iPad with it to sync by iTunes, iPad properly doesn't synchronize.

It runs failed with some issues:
The required file cannot be found.
A duplicate file name was specified.
A folder was specified instead of a file.

Some HP notebooks PC, including HP Envy 15, Pavilion dv6, Pavilion dv7 and Pavilion dv8, have this sync problems. To resolve it, you need to download and update chipset and BiOS. The drivers links.
