BRAND NEW Ipad Air 2 - Wont turn on!!

I bought my Ipad air 2, a month ago and I've had nothing but problems.
In the first week, it would randomly restart and then come back on again. Then by week two, it was shutting down and not turning back on again until several hours later it decided to make an appearance. And now, its shut down 7 days ago and wont come back on!
I'm so disapointed. I bought it for Uni, for it to be reliable and I haven't been able to use it most of the time because I don't want to be writing up essay's and it cut out and not save anything.
It hasn't been dropped or near water (I treat it like a new born baby - I wont even put it on a surface that isn't cushioned) so it has to be a fault with apple.
Has anyone else had this problem?
I have sent mine back to the apple store today to see what they can say about it.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

IIRC, you can only download a maximum file size of 100MB with cellular.

My brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way.

Hi my brand new MacBook Air won't turn on all the way. If I try to restart it or shut it down, it will go like it is starting up, but goes to a gray screen and stays there. I can see the mouse and move it, but it won't turn all the way on. What is wrong with it? It had been working fine since I got it, but today it hasn't been.

You may have to see if troubleshooting this issue can help, though the instructions on a process of elimination by symptoms are tedious in the following support article, and are suggested to be performed ahead of trying the process described in the title.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
For the actual SMC reset, note subsection in above, instructions click-open on blue text:
>Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
If the computer does not shut down, and just hangs there, try pressing the power button down for 15 seconds. Check the suggestions in the above article to see if any of them can be used, if the computer will power-up.
There is another item that sometimes can help, but the main issue you say could be resolved by the SMC reset; this other thing is involved NVRAM (non-volatile random access memory) so here's an article about it.
•About NVRAM and PRAM:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
>Resetting NVRAM/PRAM opens in above, click-to-see instructions on how to reset.
You may have to call ahead to the nearest Apple Store for an appointment to see a Genius; or at authorized reseller, their service product specialist who should be trained to understand how to proceed, just in case there is a hardware issue behind the symptoms. When you call, be sure to have the serial number and purchase date available, when you call an official store.
Or use the 'Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support' to start the process...

Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

My brand new iPad Air 2 is making a random popping sound.

My brand new iPad Air 2 is making a random popping sound and there are crackling sounds when I have the earphones plugged in and browsing with no music. Guy at Apple store could not replicate it when I walked in. Is this normal?
Should I get it replaced and what are the chances that its going to happen again?

Around here I've seen many posters that have renamed the ipad air 2 the "Ipop". You should read some of the older posts by clicking on View More at the bottom of the page until you come across it or do a search for Ipad air 2 popping noise. Last I saw it was hit or miss. Good luck.

Malware on brand new iPad Air

I have a two year old IPad 2. my wife has a brand new iPad Air. In the past five days we have both been infected with malware in the safari browser (and Chrome) which first pops up as ad cash, and then perpetuates to dozens of advertisment pages before freezing. Can anyone please help and advise on how to get rid. We are in Thailand and suspect this might be chinese?

If you think there's some malware on your devices, you have to do a factory reset, as I suggested.
However, there are a couple fo steps you could try to avoid this. Go to Settings, Safari and ensure that Block pop-ups is ON.
Then go to Settings Safari and choose Clear Website Data and History.
I expect Chrome has similar options, but I don't use it so I don't know what they are exactly.
That should give a you a clean start for Safari. If you think the issue results from a specific website, you can visit that site and see hether you get stung again. If so (a) repeate the steps abaove and (b) never go back to that site.
If you get the proble with all websites, then you must to do a factory reset.
The issue on Macs arises when people download (or are tricked into downloading) malware such as MacKeepoer (an espedially notorious example). It is not possible to download and sintall this kind of malware on a non-jailbroken iPad. The *only* ways you can install on an iPad are (a) via the App Store or (b) via a developer profile or (c) via a jailbreak. That being so, the suggestion from otehrs that the porblem arises from a websitre (or maybe a group of websites) is almost certainly correct. The steps I outlined above will allow you to break the connection with those sites. If that doesn't work, factory reset

I can log into apple on my laptop but my brand new ipad air will not accept my password. Help?

I can log into apple on my laptop but my brand new ipad air will not accept it, what do I do now?

Won't it accept it where? Did you go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Apple ID, and sign in there?

HT4623 I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

I bought a brand new ipad air, but I am not allowed to download ie. pages and keynotes for free, as promised?

The free only counts for devices activated after September. So first you need to activate the iPad (go through all the set up stuff), then, using the same Apple ID you used to activate the iPad, go to the App store and search for Pages, etc. When you download them you should see them for free.
Being free is tied to the Apple ID used to activate a device. For example, I bought my iPod in June, so I'd need to pay for the apps, which is why they're not universally free in the app store.
After you activate the iPad it may take a little time for the app store to realize 'yeah, just got a new device, this purchase is free'. I've seen people say they go right in, see it for cost, then go back in a little bit and the apps are now free.

How do I transfer all my data from an iPad Air wifi 32 GB to a brand new iPad Air 2 64GB?

I received right now a brand new iPad Air2 wifi 64 GB. How do I transfer ALL MY DATA from another iPad Air wifi 32 GB ?

Back up your old one. I use and prefer iTunes, but back up all the data, etc.
Then unplug it. Plug your new one in and go through the setup steps. When you see the option to set up as new or restore from the backup you just made, choose that and your new iPad will be a near clone of the old one.

If you are going to get rid of your old iPad, read this before you do so, just to make sure you're not inadvertantly selling someone a brick

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.

I've tried everything including pressing the on/off and home buttons at the same time but nothing works. Please help!!!!!!!!

Battery on new iPad Air running down really quickly with all apps closed down and whilst asleep- any ideas?

Hello, juliefromaltrincham.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would check to make sure Rotation Lock is not engaged. The article below will walk you through that process and has some helpful troubleshooting steps if that does not resolve the issue. In regard to your battery concerns, I would need more information regarding usage patterns and how you connect to a data network. The best option for that would be to contact us here.

Apps won't finish installing on brand new Ipad Air 32 gb

I bought a 32 gb Ipad Air and I've been going mental trying to get apps onto it. Most of the time, they look like they are installing but icon turns grey and an error message pops up stating that the app could not be downloaded and I can choose to be "done" or to "retry." I've re-set my network settings, I've done a hard reset, I've powered down, I've reset to factorhy settings. You name it, I have tried it. The new Apple made apps that came with it took ages and ages to download into my iTunes as well. I thought they'd never finish. I've updated to the latest ios already too. Any ideas????

Since it is so new, I wouldn't put too much effort into trying to fix it, but......
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.
If this doesn't work, it my be advisable to return for a replacement.
