Having touch responsiveness with my iPad Air 2 iOS 8.1.1

I am having problems with the responsiveness of my iPad Air 2. From using the keyboard to selecting links. In addition trying to select and copy is difficult too. I wonder if it is the new screen tech they are using? I returned three iPad Air 2's and then My friend bought me one as a gift and it isn't popping like the others but it sure is non-responsive to my touch or anyone's for that matter. Very frustrating. It has the latest iOS 8.1.1 and it is a iPad5,3. I have restored it and Hard booted it

Not only frustrating but the odds of having purchased four devices that have all had the same problem have to be pretty high. That's incredible. You should probably purchase from another store if you decide to buy another iPad, which is actually what I would recommend. If you are having this kind of luck with wherever you purchased the iPads, return this one - again - and try another store.

Problems with my iPad Air

I am having so many problems with my iPad Air that I got for Christmas. It is not jailbroken. Sometimes it doesn't work. The internet keeps going out all the time but it's not with my network because I got my network checked out and it was perfectly fine. Safari never works even when I am connected to the internet. All of the apps keep crashing. On the app store it doesn't let me download anything. I still have about 15 gigabytes left on my iPad Air. It doesn't let me sent or recieve messages. On the mail app it doesn't let me check my email because it just says I'm not connected to the internet even though I have all 3 bars. It is so slow. When I am on any app that acually works then it takes about 10 minutes just to load one thing. I think there is an internal problem with it or it might just need to be restored. I never dropped it and I always keep it protected so I don't know what is going on.

The wifi icon only indicates he presence of a wifi signal, not that you are connected.
First do 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
iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Some things to try first for internet/wifi connection:
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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.

Is anyone else having an issue with the iPad not charging if you use it while it's plugged into a power source? Now that I'm on iOS 7, I either charge or use... Not both.

No problems here.

HT203433 Having an issue with my IPad and IPhone trying to update my Apps from the Apps store?

I am having a problem with my IPad and Iphone trying to do My Apps updates via the App Store. I see the # of 4 updates in red showing, but when i try to do the updates by hitting the "update button" I get an error message saying I can not connect to the iTunes store although I am signed in already?
Anyone had the same problem?
thx,
Max

I'm not aware of any viruses or malware for iOS devices (except for jailbroken devices), but it might be a software bug.
Try closing all apps via the taskbar and then do another a reset and see if that helps. To close all app : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Reset as before i.e. press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

External Seagate Hard Drive with Apple Ipad Air

I've just read that you can buy a Seagate Expansion 1TB Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 (Model Number: STBF500300) which is powered from the USB cable, so there is no need for an external power supply. However, I already own a Seagate 500 gigabyte desktop external hard drive which I've had for about a year. Anyone know whether it would be compatible with the Ipad Air?

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

What is the length of the Lightning cable that comes with the iPad Air?

Actually have three questions.
1. What is the length of the Lightning cable that came with my iPad Air? I ask because I might need to purchase a new one.
2. My current Lightning cable, the one that came with my Air, the end of the cable, the rubber is coming off, it's stretched. Would AC+ send me a new one?
3. I have an iPhone 5s also, does the iPhone have it's own unique Lightning cable or can I use my iPad Air Lightning cable to charge my iPhone and vice versa, are the Lightning cables universal with the newer products?
Thanks.

i cannot mirror from ipad or ipad air to a samsung smart tv via appletv.Any ideas please?

I have tried with an Ipad Air and Ipad using Op System 8.0.2 to mirror their contents to the screen of my Samsung Flat Screen Flat TV via the latest make of Appletv.I have spent over 2 hours going through all settings etc with Apple Customer Service Live Chat.They cannot find or replicate the problem and says it is all working fine.My TV screen displays, when i go into mirroring, "ready for connection - on your device launch Allshare Cast".Nothing happens although i have agreed with Apple Support that all settings are on and are correct.Can anyone help please, as Apple Support cannot?

I am trying to connect my blue tooth canon printer with my ipad air?

i am trying to connect my blue tooth canon printer with my ipad air?

The iPad does not support Bluetooth Printers. Headsets, Speakers, Keyboards, Hands Free Devices, In car Madia centers but not Printers.
To use a printer it must be AirPrint Compatible and be on the same Wifi network as the iPad.

HT4101 Is the Panasonic lumix tz20 compatible with the iPad air lightning cable?

Is the Panasonic lumix compatible with the iPad air lightning to USB camera adaptor?

No reason to think its not. The USB adapter is universal. So unless there is something fundamentally different about the Lumix USB interface, or thewy way it stores images on its memory card it should work.

All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer for syncing etc?

All my technology needs are now met with my iPad Air. Do I still need a computer?

Only you can make that decision. If you say that all of your computer needs are met, then you have answered the question yourself.
I would never rely totally on iCloud for backups. I want more control than what Apple has to offer with iCloud and I don't want to have to pay for the storage that I need as the content on my iPad continues to grow. I realize that I had to buy the computer, as well, but I can backup my iPad to iTunes, backup my iTunes library with Time Machine and backup other files with another external drive that I have connected to my MacBook Pro.
I just don't trust all of my content being in the cloud or in Aplple's servers. Just a matter of choice.

2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

IN SHORT:
2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well? There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them. Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
IN DEPTH:
I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power. A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for. My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work). I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power. Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord? I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
By the way I mostly use garageband

hey mate
Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub. They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com. There are tons to choose from. I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard. You will need the lightning usb adapter too. You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub. So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.
