I have a new ipad air, and the notes app does not work right. I write a note and it will keep it for several days, or weeks and then I go back to it later and it has disappeared. This has happened several times. Any ideas why?

I have a new ipad air and am having trouble with the "notes" app. When I write a note to keep, it will stay there for a few days or a week, and then it disappears. This has happened several times. Can anyone suggest why this is happening and how to fix it?

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

I have a new iPad Air but I am not able to sync any non-iTunes purchased movies between my Mac and the iPad. My old iPad still syncs correctly.

I have tried all the advice from the forums such as editing the info in iTunes, adding playlist, changing the info categories, ensuring there is adequate iCloud backup space, but to no avail. I suspect the issue is with an iPad setting or with iCloud as this is only a problem for the new iPad and not the old one but cannot see where anything differs from the old iPad settings. Any dieas welcome.

Hi Demo, I am back, so here is my result.
On my PC I signed out of itunes and deleted the software and then downloaded again.
It appears, at this stage to be working OK. It has allowed me to do a restore and backup, fingers crossed xxx.
That is a very good sign.
The happy result is, I have not been arrested and my computer is intact, so far.......
Thanks for trying to help..
I'm happy to hear this news. Sorry that I couldn't help, but you are quite welcome anyway.

Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
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.

I have a new iPad Air. I am trying to install the FREE Facebook Appbut

I have a new iPad Air, I am trying to install the FREE Facebook App, but I keep on getting a popup that says to purchase, I must verify my iTunes account. I am NOT purchasing at this time. How can I circumvent this annoying popup, which only gives me the choice of CANCEL or CONTINUE. If I cancel, it does not let me install the FB. Thank you

even to install a free app you need cc info or redeem an itunes gift card.
Peace, Clyde

HT1386 I got a new iPad and can't get my music or videos to download. Every time I download I go to music & it still says no music Is there a setting or something I'm missing?

I got a new iPad and can't get my music or videos from the cloud or iTunes. Every time I download all my music & a video then click on music it says I don't have any music & I can purchase music on iTunes. I go to iTunes click purchased and download again. It shows everything downloaded so I open music and get the same message - no music. The same happens with videos. Am I missing a setting or something?

But how did you fix it ????? Pls help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - tears of pain and frustration gushes out-

I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it? I don't understand flash storage. It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with. Help an old lady out!!!

Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

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.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have a new IPad Air and when I turn the screen nothing rotates anymore like it should

I have a new IPad Air and when you turn the screen it doesn't rotate anymore

First thing to check is to see if there is a circular arrow around a small lock at the top right of your screen next to the battery indicator. If there is Rotation Lock is turned on. You can turn it off in the Control Center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and find that icon in the panel that comes up. Tap on that icon to turn off Rotation Lock.
If Rotation Lock is not on try a reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I have a new Ipad Air

I have a new Ipad Air & restored from an older IPAD. Should it not have kept the free apps, such as Imovie, Garageband, Pages, Numbers?

What type of backup were you restoring to, a computer's iTunes backup or an iCloud backup ?
If a computer's iTunes backup then the restore will pick up the apps from the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library - only the apps content/settings are stored within the actual backup, all of your iTunes downloads (apps, music, films etc and the contents of the Music and Videos apps) are picked up from your library. So as long as all of the downloaded apps that you had on your old iPad are in your iTunes library then the restore should restore them and their content to your new iPad. If you don't have all of those apps in your library then what you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes (and the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad). Then try re-restoring to the backup : iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
The built-in apps in iOS 7 are listed half-way down this page (iMovie, Pages etc are not built-in apps) : http://www.apple.com/ipad-air/specs/
