What an evening! At first, one of my relatives told me that my old photo was used in an Fb page. It was an old photo I included in my article on Hubpages last 2011. I was busy then and messaging the plagiarist to credit my photo which was taken by my husband in 1983. That person is living in my hometown in the Philippines. When I was Mylotting and checking my HubPages article, suddenly, my Ipad stopped functioning. I was multitasking and used my Ipad for Fb while I Mylot with our computer desktop. How can that be? At first, it was only white on my Ipad, then suddenly it was black. I tried to put it on again and charged it just in case but nada. I hope it will still function. I don“t know what to do. I have to ask my techy friend again. I hope she can bring it to live again. The photo was taken yesterday from my balcony.

I hate when people use your photos without giving credit. I hope you can resurrect your iPhone.

Love the photo! Sorry about the plagiarism and hope you take care of that. I'm on my 3rd iPad. They take a beating from me and eventually can't take it anymore. Hope you can get yours to work. They are very pricey to replace.

I'm sorry about your iPad. Hopefully your friend can resurrect it. I really get upset when someone's work or photos get plagiarized. Hopefully you can get that settled. Great rainbow photo. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

It concerns me about two issues - first your iPad and the other is your photo being used by someone. I hope that your friend can help you with the iPad. I am not an Apple user so I cannot give technical assistance. And about your photo, did you get hold of the person?

I think your IPAD crashed with so many apps or you just encountered a malware or a virus of some sort.
