Compass app on the ipad

I might be blind , ignorant , stupid or all three but ... After upgrading my ipad 3 to ios7 I can't find the much celebrated compass. I've always had one so I have no idea whether it's a native app or not. If it's it native will it exist after the upgrade?
I'm assuming it's not native. But everything says the compass app is built into ios7.
Really I just want to play with the spirit level.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I wish apple would stop making grandiose announcements about features that sound all encompassing but really aren't. For us poor people who are merely users not tech heads it's very frustrating. How about a little note that says it's not available on the ipad. Instead everything says it's a feature of ios7 - no fine print saying but not on the ipad version of ios7. Without either the fine print or inside knowledge it's intuitive to assume that I will find a nice spirit level there once I've upgraded.
Thanks again

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

    APPS ON THE iPAD MINI BRIEFLY APPEAR TO OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. already TRIED REBOOT BUT SAME ISSUE.

    Have you tried a reset?  Hold down Home and On/Off buttons, ignoring slider until you see the Apple logo.  Then release the buttons.  The device will reset--you will lose no data.  Please don't shout--using all caps is not only rude but it is hard to read.

    I have tried back ups and  restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air?

    How can I sync apps from my iTunes on Macbook Air without syncing apps from the iPad 2 to my Macbook Air? (As my Macbook Air is only 64GB and my iPad is 64GB and that my Macbook Air only has 40 GB left...) Or is there no other way but to sync apps from iTunes to iPad without syncing apps from iPad to iTunes(it says Backing Up , then it says Converting files to iTunes, then it shows the name of the app on the bottom...)

    Yes, sign in with the same Apple ID as your stolen one in the new iPod Touch.

  • Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac.

    Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac via wifi or cell network.

    Yep, two of the most popular apps are "LogMeIn Ignition" and "iTeleport." Check them out, they'll both set you back by about 30$ though.

  • IPod (music) app on the iPad is terrible, or am I missing something?

    I think the iPod app on the iPhone is pretty great, but the iPod app on the iPad 2 is really, really awful. Am I missing something? My main issue with it is that you can't browse by genre. There is a Genre tab at the bottom, but when I tap then and then tap a genre, instead of getting a list of artists in that genre, what I get is a little popup window that lists every song by every artist from every albums within that genre. It's completely worthless. On the iPhone I can tap a genre and then see the artists in that genre. Tap an artist and I see the albums by that artists, then I can tap on a specific album and then play it. That's what I want to do. Is there some way to do this with the iPad version that I'm missing?
    Even the Artists tap is far from ideal. If you tap that you do see all of the albums by that artist, but they are all listed in one popup window and you can't tap an album and just see the tracks on that album and just play that album. You can start playing on a certain album, but when that's done it will go onto the next album in the list, and that's not what I want.
    Is there any way to get the iPhone's iPod app behavior that I like?

    I agree. It is certainly one area that can be significantly improved on the iPad.
    Send feedback to Apple on it.

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How can I transfer the iPhone weather app to the iPad?

    I really like the quick, unadorned, temperatures plus daily weather symbols of the iPhone's built-in weather app.
    How do I transfer that app to the iPad?
    I've tried all sorts of weather apps--and generally find that using a Safari bookmark to the Weather Underground site is far better than any of the weather apps out there.  But, even so, it's that simple lising of the current temperature and upcoming next six days of the iPhone Weather app that is most useful--and most appealing-- to me.
    I know how to use Disk Aid and rummage my way around the iPhone files, but I don't find the Weather app!
    All advice appreciated!

    No way to transfer it.

  • I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so teh 2 libraries are completely separate please?

    I have created another iTunes library (so I have 1 for an ipod touch and a separate 1 for an iPad), but the apps from the iPad appear in both libraries. How can I stop this so the 2 libraries are completely separate? Thanks

    You don't need two separate libraries to manage two devices.
    I suspect the reason that the apps are appearing in both libraries is that you have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes and automatic syncing of apps so that all your purchases end up in both libraries, defeating your original aim.
    Why not use a single library and make playlists for the media content you want on each device? Disable Settings > Store > Automatic Downloads > Apps on each device, then connect each device in turn and turn off Automatically Sync Apps on the Apps page.
    You can now manage your devices independently, while only having to manage the content of one iTunes library, instead of two.

    I sold my ipod (which has always been backed up to itunes/computer) and am waiting for a new Ipad.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can sync your music and apps from iTunes. However since you are moving from an iPod to an iPad, many of the apps will have iPad versions which you will need to redownload.
