A friend gave me an iPad 1 last week. Messaging works one day and won't work the next. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have the same problem. I've been trying everything; opening ports, adjusting quicktime streaming preferences...everything discussed in other posts in this forum regarding error -8.
I really hate iChat...I think it's unbeliveble that Apple claims to be so better that Windows, but I never had problems wits MSN video.
But let's try to solve this irritating issue. What kind of messenging software do you have instaled/open when you try to use iChat?
I have Skype installed. When I deinstalled it, everything was working fine (so I thought). Next day the same BS all over again.
I could use skype to videochat, but I have an .mac account and I want to use iChat...the f&^%$*g .mac account is to expensive not to use...And do not forget that iChat AV quality is way better than Skype.
I really hope Apple comes with a solution soon.
Greets from an unhappy iChat user.

HT4623 I have an ipad mini. When I tried to update my apps many of them have been showing a "waiting" message for two days and I cannot open the app or delete the app. Any ideas?

Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove every app shown. Tap the Home button when finished. Try to delete the app now.

When I send a pdf from my pc to ipad the pdf is already open when I scroll down the message so I am unable to save to the ibooks, any suggestions

When I send a pdf as an attachment from my windows pc to the ipad via outlook mail there are occasions when the pdf is open on the email and not as an attachment which means I cannot store this on ibooks, any suggestions.

If the document is already open then, if you touch and hold in the body of the document, you will be given a set of options. One of these is to "Open in iBooks".

I had a friend airdrop a video to me last week from her iPhone and I saw it on my iPhone after the upload was complete. I'm looking for the video now and can't find it anywhere on my phone. Where is it and/or is it stored on my phone?

Heck, they don't know any more about upcoming releases than we do.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. But when the answer is yes, giving out the information is often grounds for termination.

I purchased a iPad retina last week and thought I would get the iWork suite at no charge. Did I get it wrong?

Have you tried visiting the App Store and tapping on the Purchased icon? If the iWork components appear there with a "cloud-with-a-down-arrow" icon, means you have to download them (for free) onto your iGadget.

Hi lindaasw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed? I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything. If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

When I tried to buy ankimobile for my iPad, I got a message that my account was not accepted in the Australian store, and to transfer to the U.S. store. I don't know how I got to the Australian store and I tried but can't figure out how to get back so I can buy the ankimobile. I have never gotten this message before and never even knew there was more than one store. Is the ankimobile an Australian app? What should I do?

What error do you get if any?
Have you tried connecting to another network besides your own?
Do you use DHCP on your router or static IP address?

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot 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.
