Why do my new ipad pictures seem so grainy?

I thought that the camera for the new ipad was supposed to be fantastic... my pictures do not impress me.  Neither does the video - it looks grainy, even in highly lit areas.  I'm seeing other people online post videos of spectacular pictures and videos they're taking with the new ipad.  Am I missing something?  There are no options for the camera? 
Also, where is the flash?
I really want to know why my camera ***** so badly!

Xentago-
Normally grain is electronic noise caused by extreme amplification required for images in low light.  Turning on more lights should help.  However, if yours has the grain where there is a lot of light, your iPad may be defective.
I suggest you take the iPad, along with some examples of grainy pictures, and show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If the Genius agrees, you may get a replacement iPad.
I don't think the iPad has any kind of flash.  Even with the new iPad's higher image resulution in its rear camera, I do not think it is as good as a digital camera.  With a digital camera, you get optical zoom in addition to a real flash.

  • Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook?  Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

    Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook.  Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

    You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
    Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
    Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

  • Why dose my new iPad (bought today) alway lock up

    why dose my new iPad (bought today) alway lock up when i use the acoustic guitar when I use  GarageBand???
    it locks up so bad If I turn it off nothing happens, the only fix is to hooking it up to my iMac
    really ******* me off
    anyone else have this problem?
    its the new 32 Gb wifi (NOT the G3)

    Airplay needs to be enabled on ATV. Both need to be on the same network. Then you double tap (or swipe up) to bring up the multi-task bar and swipe (left to right motion) to get to the volume/brightness and airplay controls. Select ATV and toggle ON mirroring.

  • My new iPad Mini seems to time-out the WiFi connection?

    I've had an iPad One for a year or two and recently bought iPad Minis for myself and the SO. It's happened quite a few times now that I can be using the WiFi connection, and set the iPad aside for a few minutes, and when I come-back to it the WiFi connection is gone (the icon goes away at the top-left of the screen). I have to then go to Settings Wifi and select my connection again. I don't recall this ever happening with the iPad 1.
    I don't see any specific setting for "turn-off WiFi after x minutes" or whatnot and wonder why the iPad is dropping signal (a very strong signal, a very fast connection in my house). Is there a setting some where that says "turn off WiFi", for example after X minutes to save power or something?
    This is a real annoyance cuz I can be reading an article online and then when I come-back to it I see "no Internet connection" and I have to go to Settings again to re-select my SSID.

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Why is my new ipad so slow

    I just bought the new iPad. It is running on 3G (they dont have 4G ipad in Japan). I have an old iPhone 3Gs. Both are running same version of IOS.
    my ipad it taking forever to load anything, apps, webpages, even the app store when using 3gs. my phone is isntant. I have read it is becuase of the size of the screen and amount of info. That is fine... but explain this to me. I download a the SAME 9.4mb speetest.net app at the SAME time on my ipad and my iphone. The iphone finished in under 1 minute and the ipad takes nearly 15!!!!!!!
    when and iff I can get the app working. the ping on the phone is 4 times higher than the ipad, showming me the ipad is getting better speeds. so why it is so slow. just to bring up ANY page on the app store takes over 5 minutes.
    when I run DSLR.net speed tests for mobile devices. I get the same thing for the ping. The ipad has much lower ping.
    I cant belive the results for the DL speed
    ipad - t1. 112kbps t2. 93kbps t3. 114kbps
    iphone- t1. 249kbps t2. 290kbpsm  t3. 308kbps
    What is up with that?

    I went home and hooked up with wi-fi and was pulling speeds of 10mbs. lighting fast just like I thought. I didnt reboot or reset. So its not the ipad software. or overloaded cache (which i cleared yesterday before I tested 3G speeds)
    now....
    It is a new day, and I have tested both my phone and my ipad agian.
    my ipad is still only pulling speed of .1Mbs that is POINT ONE.
    and my phone is still pulling .3Mbs
    so now I am have two problems. why is my BRAND new ipad recieinvg a 3 times slower signal than the phone.
    and what options do I have with my cell company? they have a 10Mbs system and I am pulling 1% of their offered speed. Problem is I live in Japan, and things dont work the same here. no FCC-esq rules requiring minum devliery of service, etc. that I can find.
    I am 99% sure that have something simalar to the BBB, but have even less power than the BBB in the USA. companies can basicly just ignore them. the legal system is nothing like the USA. (if you sue somebody/buisness in small/"medium"claims court,  the court will order them to pay, but no law is required to actully get the cash from them).
    I am wondering since this ipad is made with a 4G LTE radio it is not optimizzed for a 3G signal. What does anyone think about that?  In the USA 4G coverage is not universal, so surley plenty of new ipads are running on 3G at least some of the time. Are they exepierincging slower than normal 3G speeds on the new ipad?

  • TS3899 My old iPad let me have 1000 emails, why does my new iPad Air only allow 200?  How do I change this?

    I want the 1K emails I could have on my iPad 2. Can't figure out how to do this on my new Air.

    I had an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1.  In the Mail, Contacts, Calendars selection and within it a Mail section.  Within the Mail section i could choose to show anywhere from 50 - 1!000 messages.  In my new iPad Air with iOS 7.1 i have no such option and it seems to max out at 240 meassages.
    I have 1,209 earhlink emails on my old iPad dating back to Novemeber, on my new iPad i have 250 going back through March.
    Is ther a setting i can chane to got the others?   Do they live in the cloud somewhere and i just dont know how to use it?
    Thank you for you reply and your hekp.

  • I have a new iPad, it seems to want me to connect to iTunes before I'm able to use it. Can you tel me how to proceed?

    I have a new iPad and it seems to want me to connect to iTunes before I'm able to use it. No instructions otherwise. Just need to know how to proceed since there are no docs with it.

    There were. Not much, but a single card which illustrated the iPad and labelled the buttons, and on the reverse gave instructions under the headings "set up, sync, and charge", and under the heading "Learn more" gave links to www.apple.com/iPad,  help.apple.com/iPad,  www.apple.com/support/iPad,  and www.apple.com/support/manuals/iPad.
    But you wouldn't have noticed, as you were too excited at the time. Like everybody else.  ::sigh::

  • Why is the New iPad is super slow in photo album?

    Hi, I am a previous owner of iPad 2 and am VERY HAPPY with it.
    I was so excited to get the New iPad, but now very unhappy with it.
    The advertisement of quad core graphics chip does not do any good.
    The photo album took at least 3 times longer to display an image (in comparison to the iPad 2).
    Viewing all photos in slideshow is out of the question because photo was not displayed in full resolution fast enough.
    Please HELP

    Thank Jim, but it doesn't help.
    I did all sorts of power off, soft reset, hard reset, and even restore to original default.  None that help.
    Do you have iPad 2 to compare with?
    Anyhow, these pictures were NOT taken by the iPad camera, they are from photo albums (taken by SLR) and synced to the library.  These have much higher resolution and possibly have bigger file sizes (eventhough iTunes compressed it down during sync).
    The New iPad could NOT load the picture in full resolution fast enough (I measured about 3.5 seconds) whereas the iPad 2 was able to complete the same picture in about +1 sec.
    I am very disappointed.  I will make an appointment with Apple and see what their answer is.

  • Why will my new iPad no longer sync my non-iTunes TV shows?

    My original iPad, as well as my iPhone 4S, synced perfectly with iTunes 10.6. I usually use the option Sync 3 Oldest Unwatched for the TV Shows that I add myself, but this no longer works for my new iPad; it does not recognize non-iTunes TV shows in my sync settings, and refuses to sync any of them unless I manually select the episodes. What could be the problem here?

    Thank you for your reply and your suggestion.  I did try using a different cable.  The original cable was one that had been working perfectly well just last week.  ITunes is still not styncing.

  • Why is my new iPad mini with retina very, very jerky and slow?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know what I can do about my new iPad being very, very jerky and slow?
    FACT - The multitouch screen is unresponsive and I have to press and press and press to select what I want before it reacts.
    It's an iPad mini with retina, so it's got the new chipset which runs really, really fast.
    FACT - What happens is:
    I start up pages and it freezes completely for quite a while before allowing me access to my documents.
    I go to settings and it freezes up totally for quite a while before allowing me access to my settings.
    Is there a cure? I get similar problems on my acompanying really, really fast iPhone 5s.
    PS
    Plenty of memory left so no problems there - only about half used and they're both 32gb.
    ...and my beloved iPad2 never used to do this either.

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Why does my new iPad air throw me out of apps

    As above it is is annoying

    How did you setup the new iPad ?
    Did you restore a backup of a different device to this new iPad ?
    I've mentioned in this forum before that I have low expectations of this approach.
    I recommend setting up a new iPad by simply logging in with your existing Apple ID.
      Then enable cloud sharing
        selectively on both devices
          until stuff transfers to the new iPad.

  • Why does the new ipad show fingerprints?

    I taught the new ipad was supposed to of counteract the fingerprint marks on the screen?
    Anyone know of really good screen protectors so i can get rid of them marks for good 

    I had the same problem with my ipad. I bought a screen protector from Zagg hopping that it would make it a bit better. But it was even worse with the orange peel effect on the protector... which made my ipad look that much messier with my fingerprints.
    After researching for awhile hoping for a better product to protect my ipad, I came across someone talking about a brand name Skinpea. I took the chance and purchased from Skinpea... It made a BIG difference.
    First, Skinpea's screen protector was ANTI RIPPLY with NO ORANGE PEEL.
    Secondly, the screen was very smooth and clean. I can already tell by touching it that the quality was very well made and felt safe putting it on my brand new ipad.
    Ofcourse, you can't get rid of your fingerprints 100%, but i can tell you that the fingerprint issue got better than not having the protector.
    I'm Skinpea all the way now, I got it for my phone and my mothers new phone.
    Hope it helped.
