The easiest first way to try to solve āunexplainedā or āunusualā problems with the iPad are:-
Force the offending app to close. If you have iOS 4.2 or 4.3 double-press the āHomeā button to bring up the multi-task bar at the bottom of the screen. Press *and hold* any icon until they start to ājiggleā. Then tap the top left-hand corner of the app that you want to close. It will ādisappearā from the list. Donāt panic - youāve not deleted it, just closed it. Now tap the Home screen and the multi-task bar will disappear. Re-open the iPadās app and see if the problem has resolved itself. If not, itās on to possible solution number two!!
Restart the iPad. Press *and hold* the Power button. After a couple of seconds a slider control will appear asking you to confirm that you really want to switch the iPad off (this is all youāll be doing). Slide the control to accept. A rotating white ābezelā will appear in the iPad screen as the iPad powers down (it takes a few seconds, just like it would if you were shutting down your PC). When the screen of the iPad has gone completely blank, press *and hold* the Power button for a couple of seconds until the white Apple logo appears and the iPad starts to power up. This takes several seconds, so be patient. During the power up the automatic screen orientation function is disabled, so donāt panic. A few seconds before the power up is complete, the iPad plays a little ājingleā and then youāre back to the Home screen. Restart the iPadās app and see if the problem persists. Apple (and Forum members) recommend that you power down your iPad at least once a week, just as you might regularly completely switch off your PC. The normal procedure of just briefly pressing the Power button of the iPad merely puts it to āsleepā. Most Forum members have found that one of the two methods Iāve mentioned here cure a whole bunch of unexplained problems and are an easy first step to resolving most anything that happens on the iPad.

Tim of scotland, Thank you so very much for your suggestions! The second one fixed it! i will start to power off at least once a week like you suggested also.
I got the little plastic tip with a stylus that can be placed in the ear bud port to keep dust out. Do you think that could have hurt/
Also can you explain why powering down at least once a week works with issues?
thank you again so much for your help. Candy from Virginia
