Forced to restore iPad - help for the future?

I'm feeling a little frustrated and could use some help de-escalating. I bought an app from the App Store on my non-jailbroken iPad. When purchasing, I got the annoying "App Store terms of service have changed blah blah blah" message, clicked ok. A message came up asking if I wanted to continue with my purchase, so I said yes. Then, the weirdness started.
The app starts to download/install, and a second, mysterious, blank app icon also appears with an equally blank progress bar. The app I purchased finishes installing, but the ghost app icon just sits there. I can't delete it, can't move it, can't do anything with it. Then, when I connect my iPad to my computer, hoping to sync and solve the problem, the computer initially doesn't recognize the iPad.
Then, spontaneously, the screen goes blank, and when it restarts (automatically), I get the connect to iTunes graphic. When I do so, my only option is to do a restore. Luckily, I do full backup/syncs obsessively, so I won't really lose anything, but this is still a giant annoyance.
What...The...Heck?
Was this something I did? Is there some way to avoid this in the future? Do I need to take the device in to an Apple store? Thanks, in advance!

I just got my shipment and My Ipad mini is just shut down without reasons during upgrading. I'm doing restore it. Does it matter for the future use?

ACtually I really really don't want to use it anymore. I'm so disappointed.

If they are getting 2 days without charging, it's unlikely they use their device very much.
A full day is pretty good....and if I'm careful, I can easily get a full day of usage.
For me, normal is charging the iPhone mid afternoon at work, but I use it a lot.
My typical usage is 35 mins of listening to podcasts, checking email, checking my RSS feed, and checking a few apps while I ride my bike when I first get up. Then listening to several podcasts at work.
I typically stream music while working out during my lunch hour and use the Men's Health Fitness app to track my progress.
By about 2pm I'm ready to charge the device as it's getting low (somewhere between 20% and 50%).
I leave bluetooth, Wi-FI, and location services turned on all the time.
Personally, I just do not see the point in going into settings to turn on the feature when I need it... just too much hassle. All of my listening to podcasts and music is via Bluetooth.
I know I'm not the heaviest user, but I just do not see how anyone can realistically make it two days on a single charge, it makes me think they simply do not use the features of the device and would be just as well served with a basic or feature phone.

Just for the future on the ipad air there seems tp be a white screen glitch after a certain amount of use. it would be great if this gets fixed. thanks

You are not talking to Apple here. We are all users trying to help one another solve issues with their iPads.
I have an iPad Air and have never experienced something that I would call a " white screen glitch."
Please explain exactly what is happening on your iPad, what you might have tried to fix it and what, if any, error messages you receive.

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
Take it back and get your money returned. You
are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

I want all my devices to be on a password related internet but the double nat on my TC makes weird things happen and slow. I try bridge mode but the internet doesn't work.
You building supplied internet is a cheap service that is without proper routable addresses..
Therefore to use more than one IP you MUST have double NAT.. sorry there is no choice..
Slow that is because you are sharing internet with every other person in the building.. get your own broadband service.
Bridge will not work.. it cannot work because the building only has private IP addressing. And they only give you a single address.
You can put a password on the wireless.. go to the airport utility and put in a password.
Other than that I don't understand what password you expect.
Can I get an explanation of what bridge mode is?
No NAT.. means the TC becomes a dumb Wireless AP and switch.. works fine with a cable modem router.. or any broadband router but useless with your building system.
Can I get suggestions on what I should do to use the TC as a wireless device to spread the same wireless device my apartment is broadcasting?
Double NAT, and set your own wireless names. There is no alternative.. sorry.

I want to borrow my wife's iPad for a trip but have access to my iBooks account. If I change her login access will that mess up her books for the future?

I want to borrow my wife's iPad for a trip but have access to my iBooks account. If I change her login access will that mess up her books for the future?

I assume that iBooks is limited in the same way that iTunes and the App store are. That is, you can only change the AppleID associated with a device once every 90 days.

So if you log out of the iBook store with her AppleID, and use yours, you will have to wait 90 days before she can use her AppleID with that same device again.

Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since similar data /application is shared among all of them, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad. And in which case, if anything happens to any of the other iPads I can still recover the data

Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since the same data /application is shared among all of these iPads, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad instead of all 5? And if anything happens to any my iPads which I have not backed up, I can restore it from the iPad where I have save the Backup. I am hoping by doing so, I will also be able to save some icloud storage space. Let me know if my question is still not so clear to you guys. Thanks.

Hello PeachY1234,
If I understand correctly you'd like to save iCloud storage space by only backing up 1 of the 5 iPads to your account since they are all going to have very similar data and usage. You certainly can do that, but I do have to warn you that any unique data between them would be lost if you had to restore from that one backup made on another iPad so just keep that in mind. If you do need to restore in the future you can use this article to restore that iCloud backup:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Planning for the future...

I've just started using Garageband to write my own music but as I'm more used to pro studios I'm finding it a little limiting, and consequently looking to upgrade to Logic.
This will probably mean buying a new machine. So, can anyone give me some bits of advice?
- What is the minimum size of Mac I should be looking at?
- Will any off-the-shelf mac be able to cope with running Logic and recording, or do I need to get anything customised?
- Should I use one machine exclusively for music?
- I will be recording anything from vocals to guitars, so what sort of interface should I be looking at?
- Is it as simple to write songs in Logic, or does it make sense to use GB as a "scratch pad" for building basics and then transfer to Logic to "take it to the next level"? Or am I just over complicating things?
- Should I really be doing this? Help...

1. You've got to be more specific
2. Yes, but a RAM upgrade is customary. 1GB should be considered an absolute minimum. A Hard drive for audio is also good if you use many tracks or samples,
3. That depends on what else you do. I don't do it. It is a good idea if you need it to work under high stress sutuation every day...otherwise you could start with 1 and see how things go.
4. Vocals to guitars...well if that's all you need...then an interface with 1 in and 2 outs would be the absolute minimum....realistically you should plan for the future. Get a sytem which has more I/O than you think you'll need and is expandable...someday you may need to record a drumkit and may have to start all over if you chose poorly. For I/O... I would consider more than you think you'll need. If you think you may need 2 ins max... consider 4 ins 4 outs...this is very small number of I/Os today. But if you know your needs ahead of time getter better converters instead of more is a very good idea (espescially if the system can expand well).
5. They share amny things... I find GB cumbersome to edit, whereas somebody else finds it's lack of features perfect for no distraction. I think eventually you'd just start using Logic full time. There are things GB won't touch.

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

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.
