Whats the problem with an ipad when its often kicking me out of applications and returning to home page?? In the past it was very infrequent and i would just restart it and it would be ok, but lately it is frequent and restarting doesnt usually help for long. Anyone???
Ipad Apps closing and going to home screen

Hmmm...??? No iPad guru's here today since this morning??? 
I don't know and I'm a fairly new user to an older iPad 2, but whenever I have some goofy problem, a restart normally works.
But a few months ago, that didn't help and I decided to bypass Apple's recommendation that a Reset shouldn't be done, but that's what I did, and after checking some settings it has been working a bit better.
Try these, but take Apple's Reset advice with a grain of salt.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to Reset iPad
Maybe that will work for you????

Sometimes when people say they "restarted" their iPad, they actually mean "put it to sleep momentarily and woke it up again." I'm always a bit shocked at how many iPad owners are unaware of how to turn the device completely off. Is that what you've done, powered it down completely?

Yes, there's sure a lot of misuse of the Restart and Reset descriptions out there.
And yes I've had to do the Restart several times but it didn't work completely to fix things and I had to do a complete Reset a few months ago, and finally had to do it several times and finally set it up as a new device.
Now just a Restart, shutdown, wait a bit and then start it up, usually fixes any problem.

Hi Shanda - the proper advice has already been given, but please see the quote below so you understand the difference between an iPad 'Restart' and a 'Reset' - if not done, please 'Reset' your iPad to see if that maneuver helps (kind of like a soft vs. a hard boot of a standard computer) - corrects most misbehaving problems and does not affect your settings, data, or apps - good luck & let us know.
