8. Shop the App Store > Troubleshoot Apps - Pg. 148

Troubleshoot Apps Most App store progrAMs work perfectly well at what they were designed to do, but things can occasionally go wrong. Maybe a little bug made it through the testing process. or maybe an ipad software update changed the way the operating system interacts with the app. Whatever the case, you can take a few basic troubleshooting steps for apps that aren't playing nice with the ipad: · RestarttheiPad.If you just installed a big video game like Star Wars: Trench Run or another complex app, it's a good idea to restart the ipad (page 322 has the steps) to quit all running apps and get all this new soft- ware off to a fresh start with the operating system--sort of like how it's a fine notion to restart your computer after you install new programs. · Checkforupdates. some apps may have been sold just a tad too soon. the developer, facing cranky customers and bad reviews in the App store, quickly posts an updated version of the app that fixes the problem. Flip back a page for information on updating apps. (It's also a good idea to plug the tablet into the computer and check for ipad software updates every once in a while; see page 326 to learn how to do that.)
