  • My brand new iPad air has been completely unresponsive and needed to be "hard restarted" twice.  What's up with that?

    3 days ago, I purchased a new iPad air.  I've installed a few apps on it and have generally just been playing with it and figuring out the OS.  Yesterday, while trying to wake it up, I noticed the device was completely unresponsive, the screen would not even turn on.  I executed a hard restart (held down home and power for 10 sec).  That seemed to remedy it for the time being but it just happened again.  I'm concerned that this will be a recurring issue and will possibly degenerate into a bigger problem for my new iPad.  Is this a known issue?  If so is it a hardware or software related problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    My first reaction is, "Yuck!"
    I participated not too long ago in this forum in a discussion about music on web pages. All people with any real experience were pretty much against it, unless there was some control that would allow someone to turn it off and on, with the default being set to "off." And, of course, I don't know how it would play with assistive technolology for blind persons (were I to add sounds to one of my web pages, my sister, who is blind, would kill me, I think).
    You would need Ogg Vorbis audio in order for it to be playable in all browsers and I should mention that I had a real nightmare dealing with video on this website because I had not told Apache that Ogg is a supported MIME type. Firefox would not play the Ogg video until I edited the .htaccess file thusly:
    AddType audio/ogg .oga
    AddType video/ogg .ogv
    AddType application/ogg .ogg
    I would imagine you would have to do that on any Apache server. Until you did this, your audio might be playable in some browsers and not playable in others, like Firefox.
    But be careful to not totally distract people with your audio files. Audio on a website brought up in the workplace is usually a clue to others nearby that the person is not working for the company. The first thing that happens is that the page is immediately closed when audio starts coming out of the speakers.

  • Can somebody please help? My new iPad (3) has been blacking out and restarting every min...

    Ok so before i went on a vacation, i switched off my iPad that's left with 24% battery.
    2 days later, i switched it on and the screen just freezes. So i pressed the home and lock button together and reset it.
    After this, for every min i used, the iPad just black out and restarted on its own.
    It probably restarted for more than 100 times already and i can't restore it or whatever since its just keep disconnecting from my iTunes.
    I shut it down, reset it, close all the apps, none help.
    Does anybody know a solution to this?
    Please help.
    Thanks a million

  • Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

    Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

    Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
    You can download iTunes for your computer here.

  • How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

    How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

    You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

  • I am unable to initiate a video chat on facebook from a pc to a new ipad mini.  Is this possible and do I need a special app on my iPad?

    I am unable to initiate a video chat on facebook from a pc to a new ipad mini.  Is this possible and do I need a special app on my iPad?   Receivew a message on the PC after request a video chat with the iPad that the connection is too slow and the iPad does not show an incoming video.  JMaruje

    A Mac Mini s a computer you can use with the iPad.
    YO do not need a computer fro backup since yo can backup to iCloud.
    However, sometimes software glitches occur and require connecting the device to a compute to restore vi iTuunes.
    You can control a computer via an iPod with an app like TeamViewer or LogMeIn. There are others too.
    You can also use an iPad a a SECONDAY monitor for a computer. with other apps.
    You need a dedicated monitor,  keyboard and mouse to setup the Mini. You can use a PC USB mouse and keyboard.

    Let me also say that this has been functioning this way out of the box...this is not new or a result of cookies or a full cache.

  • TS1398 My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. Goes in and out.  My IPod, IPhone, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work finer. I think it has wifi antenna issues.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out.  My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do?  Does anyone else have this problem?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Since iphone 5 6.1.3 upgrade mine has been running hot and reduced the battery life. Before I was getting 2days out of it. Now it's half a day ... No new apps and I've been closing down fully all apps. I think something is definitely up with 6.1.3

    Are there many others experiencing this?

    The number of apps that run in the background are very few and far between. An app being in the recently used apps bar or dock means just that for the most part - the app was recently used only and is not running.
    Have you powered your iPhone off and on and/or tried a reset which is similar to a computer restart since the update was installed?
    Are you accessing an Exchange account with the Mail app on your iPhone?

  • HT1338 I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

    I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?  If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

    Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
    I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
    If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
    I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • New iPad Mini with Issues Downloading over wifi

    First, I have a brand new iPad Mini (1 day old), 16 GB Wifi. Second, I did a restore from iCloud Backup and this worked fairly well. But now, if I try to download any apps (new or previously purchased) after I sign in with my password, they either stall during the download process or don't download/install at all. I have checked the internet connection (wifi) at home (6 to 10 MB download) and at work (25 to 45 MB download). Third, I do not have any problems getting to any web sites through Safari or accessing content through other apps like CNN, Zite, or USA Today.

    Update... I can't watch any streaming video either.

  • Can't download magazines on new iPad Mini

    I just got a new iPad Mini and have restored a magazine subscription from previous iPad.  The problem now is I'm not able to download any issues.  The error I get is "unable to download folio -500". 

    Figured it out might've been something to do with free storage.  I had 2 gb available, free'd up another 1 gb and was then able to download.
