Has anyone had their iPad Air crash after a hardware update?

2 updates ago, I updated the operating system on my iPad air and the update fried my iPad. Has anyone else had this happen? I am very hesitant to update again

Hi,
Under Fusion you have Window, then you select Virutal Machine Library.
Once done, on your left you got the al your virtual machines.
Delete your windows xp virtual machine.
Then you select Add -> New Boot Camp and all your stuff will be back.

Has anyone had their IPAD just die?

I picked up my ipad to read a book and it will not turn on. Plugged it in to charge this morning and now it is dead.

IT's possible that your battery has died. You can make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

Has anyone taken their iPad 3 to Apple over Wi-Fi issues?

Has anyone taken their iPad (3rd Generation) Wi-Fi only model to an Apple store and tried to use AppleCare to solve their Wi-Fi issues?
*Start: Problem/Rant*
I had an iPad 2 Wi-Fi only model and I never had an issue with it. When the iPad (3rd Generation) was released, I went ahead and bought it. However, from day one, I never had the wireless strength of my iPad 2.
I'm a college student, live in a dorm, and I am fairly tech savvy. This problem confused me for the longest, as no environmental factors had changed and my iPad 2 would still connect at full bars. I read on some forums that many new iPad 3 users had reported that their new iPad had poorer signal strength in general after running many different diagnostic test. Apparently the radio in the device isn't as good picking up reception as the iPad 2.
After conducting some dB tests of my own, I found this to be true indeed. But I could live with it, as my iPad (3rd Generation) still connected to Wi-Fi for my dorm (as I am close to an access point). However that wasn't the end of my problems. Anytime I watched Hulu, Youtube, or streamed a movie that was at least an hour long, my wireless signal would drop completely and would pause the video to give me a blue pop-up box stating that I had no Internet connection.
I noticed that my wireless icon had gone away, but after about 1 minute it reappeared. The video wouldn't resume, so I had to refresh the page and go back to where it got stuck previously. A minor inconvenience, but still a problem. The first time, I wrote it off as a legitimate Internet problem on my campus's part. However, the same problem occurred again, about an hour later. I quickly went to my computer and tested the connection and I still had Internet. After this point, I setup two wireless devices on the same network and waited for it to occur, and when it did, I was able to conclude that it was my iPad's fault.
In the interest of getting it to work and my own curiosity, I tried all the standard troubleshooting steps such as: Rebooting the iPad, restoring the iPad, connecting to various encryption types such as my campus WPA and WEP network types. I even got a wireless router with a direct Internet connection, turned off the encryption and tested this on different channels and even g/n networks. I still get one to two minute periodic wireless network drops.
I've had this iPad 3 since launch and aside from the Wi-Fi thing, it has been great, but it has finally gotten to me. The other day, I was running low on time and was uploading my professor's notes to Dropbox that I had recorded on my iPad when the signal gave out for it's regular wireless fail and it ruined a presentation. Yeah, first world problems, but when I paid so much for this and have invested so much of my own time to fix something that should of worked in the first place, it is kind of infuriating.
/end rant
I am going to an Apple store tomorrow and using my AppleCare warranty while telling them my problem and hope that they can fix it. However I am worried that since it appears to be a hardware issue, that they won't be able to fix it. Also my iPad 3 has no screen protector and even though it is used, it is in perfect condition (I used a case for the exterior). I don't want a refurbished model which may have minor scratches (on a retina screen this would drive me insane). I am OCD about keeping my expensive stuff safe and scratch free. I know that I should of brought it in the moment I noticed the issue, but I was secretly hoping that it was just a bad firmware/software issue that would of been resolved with iOS 6.0 (obviously it wasn't) and my store doesn't accept returns on any Apple Products (Barnes & Noble) even if you open it in front of them, however they do offer AppleCare which is what I am hoping can fix it. I'm still within my year warranty, have the original receipt and box.
Does anyone have any experience with a similar issue or a wi-fi issue at all with the iPad (3rd Generation) and using AppleCare? I've read horror stories about employees doing terrible things and is it safe to not restore my iPad and just hand it over to them? I know this is just me being lazy, but is it alright for me not to delete/restore my iPad before handing it over to them? Like I don't have to worry about them posting on twitter or checking my email? After two semesters, it is kind of a hassle to put everything back on there, anyone have any bad experience just handing it over?
Lastly, is there anything I should do, before handing it over to them? Like taking pictures of what it looked like, before they handled it? Is there a way to register with Apple the MAC address of the iPad so they know that I am the owner? (well, I guess my email should be associated with that).
I know it is a long read, any questions answered would be appreciated (it doesn't have to be all), and if people want, I'll update on my experience with AppleCare regarding my issue and if it gets resolved.

I've seen a few posts from users that had wifi problems getting a replacement iPad.
A refurb iPad has a new screen, battery and back plus warranty.
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

Has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos. However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

Has anyone had their iphone 4 die on them? Mine is just 2 yrs old and won't switch on, tried all the remedies, reboot, tried to connect and reboot via itunes, new battery--nothing works

Hias anyone had their iphone 4 completely die on them? Mine won't switch on, I have tried using the power key with the home key, tried connecting it via usb cable to itunes, tried new battery- nothing has worked. The phone is just 2 yrs old this month, and I haven't dropped it or anything. I have never had a phone break on me before in almost 20 yrs of having mobile phones- I've had to resort to using a 7 yr old Nokia, which I used to love but it's not the same as my iphone!!

If you have attempted the reset, which is holding the home button and sleep/wake button, was it still connected to the computer? Have you tried to do that when not connected. You stated it never came on, how long did you hold the buttons together? If you cannot get it to connect to iTunes then you would not be able to restore the device. You can see if you can put the device into Recovery Mode by following the instructions in this support document. If that does not work, then you are correct, make an appointment at the Apple Store. If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Has anyone had their MBP die after installing a new hard drive?

hi,
the reason why I ask is because:
a while ago I had a lovely PB12" which was my favourite little laptop.. the only thing it was missing was hard drive space, so I had a certified apple centre install a 250GB drive in it to make it a much more usable personal machine. a few days later the motherboard fried itself, and because the machine was long out of warranty, there was pretty much nothing to be done about it. I'm pretty sure it was a dodgy job on replacing the drive that killed my machine but I obviously can't prove it.
anyway that was then, this is now.. I'm thinking about replacing the 100GB 7200rpm drive that came with my MBP core2duo 2.33 17" machine, seeing as there are now 7200rpm drives as big as 320GB. but I really rely on this machine for a lot of work, and I'm not exactly ready to have it mysteriously die just like my old powerbook. I know the 12" powerbook was apparently notoriously difficult to open up and replace components so I get the feeling that the technicians must have bashed something up when they were trying to do the swap out. so my question is, has anyone at all with any recent MBP had the machine go seriously wrong after changing the drive? looking around on the internet it seems that changing the drive in my current machine is something easy enough that I could do it myself, which I'd probably do if I don't hear too many horror stories about it. my MBP is out of warranty and I don't have apple care, but is it correct that even if it still was under warranty, that would have been voided by my changing the hard drive?
anyway, any experiences and opinions on this most appreciated, especially from anyone who has had major problems..
cheers,
antonio

thanks for the replies, appreciate the feedback.
as I mentioned in my original post, I think I'm probably overly paranoid because of the fact that an authorised repair centre managed to kill my PB just doing a simple drive switchover. but from everything I've heard, the powerbook 12" was already in a category of its own in terms of how difficult it was to access parts inside, with a high risk of breaking something in the process. so I'll probably end up swapping out the drive on the MBP myself, perhaps with the help of someone more technically nerdy than me (and who has the right tools).
I originally got a 7200rpm drive, and will most probably go for the latest 320GB 7200s that are out there because I need the best performance running logic. but I'm also slightly tempted to go for a 500GB 5400 because I've heard there's not much in it performance-wise nowadays given that the 5400s use perpendicular technology rather than longitudinal. do any of you know if the current 320GB 7200s also use perpendicular recording?
thanks!

Has anyone had their screen on a macbook pro shut off randomly?

Hey,
Recently I have encountered a problem on my MBP (mid 2010). So, I know that a computer can only operate in a high temperature for so long. I understand that.
I play WOW a lot. I know for a fact that my computer's temperature goes from a normal temperature range of around 35 Celsius to about 45 to a higher temperature range of 55 to at its highest 80 Celsius.
I use smcfancontrol and I keep my MBP on top of a cooling fan. The cooling fan I use is Antec Unbeatable Notebook Cooler 200. I like this cooling fan. The numbers above were estimated off of smcfancontrol’s interface.
Yesterday, after I stop playing WOW, my screen goes black complete randomly. I was using my computer immediately before this screen went black, so the screen should not have shut off from inactivity to sleep. My computer has full battery life and was on charge. I also know that my computer’s battery is about 90% health based on istat nano widget.
I previously had a PC laptop that had its monitor shut off and never come back, so that’s why I bought my current MBP. I was selling my PC lapto for its parts. But I accidently found that the computer screen still worked probably because a wire wiggled the out of place. But MBP are more integrated with the hardware than a PC laptop is.
Has anyone else have this happen to them or has something similar happened?

If a SMC reset does not help, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.

IPad Air crashes after upgrade to IOS8.02

ipad air is crashing after upgrade to IOS 8.02. The apps crash leads to restarting of the iPad. Is this a software issue or hardware?
the apps that I use are Facebook,you Tube, chrome and LinkedIn.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

HT6207 Has anyone else's laptop been freezing after the latest update? (Security Update 2014-002)

I just installed the update this morning and, for the first time in years, my laptop has been constantly freezing to the point where I have to manually restart it.

Same thing has been happening to me and it's really annoying. I've tried reformatting and restoring my hard drive but it didn't help. Tried to perform a hardware test but that froze as well.
I suspect it's an incompatibility problem and would appreciate it if Apple would fix it soon. If anyone had the same problem and fixed it somehow i'd appreciate any tips.

Has anyone seen their iPads using your wifi non-stop, even if you are not using it, even when it's closed with the smart cover?

Lately my internet usage is up to the roof. I though somebody was hacking my wireless router so I made it super safe with lots of restrictions.
But that didn't stop the download of stuff over my wireless network. When I monitor who or what is using my wirelss, only my iPad was on, so, the moment I turn the wifi off on my ipad, the download stop. Turn it back on, it goes like crazy sucking up data off my wireless router for no reason. There is no indicator that the iPad is using the wireless yet, it is my iPad downloading things that I can't even seen, it does even with smart cover on!!!!. It's been over 50GB in only three days. I don't even have that amount of data on iCloud. This began a few days later after I upgraded my iOS to 6. But also, I'm thinking it could be an app that I installed. Or is it possible someone can use my iPad as a middle point to access my router and steal my internet. I have restored the OS on the iPad and it keeps doing it. Anyone has experienced something similar?

I'm going to guess that your battery life is also not so hot. What I suspect is happening is thatbthe pad is locked into an update loop with I cloud. As an example, if you have addresses that do not agree, the cloud back up will continue to try and correct itself, using both battery and wifi ( or cell). It may also be an app trying to uzpdate itself.
To troubleshot, try turning thigs off. If you are using the cloud, turn off all syncing and see it the problem stops. Then turn them back on, one by one, until you find the culprit. If it is an app, it may be harder to find, but the steps are the same. Turn off all notifications, and uninstall anything you added around the time the problem started.
A frequent culprit is magazine, comic, and newspaper subscriptions, that are constantly trying to update themselves.
Keep looking, you will find it.
