Recently in the Bahamas where I helped a friend with his new iPad. We could not find Bahamas in initial setup so we used United States and could not enter Visa/MC billing address in Bahamas. iTunes rejected, billing info is not what's on file. What to do?

Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app. I am certain other applications also need this information. Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information. Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Tips for charging new ipad

Really disappointed in the amount of time required to charge new Ipad. Anyone come up with a plan b on this topic?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

The ipad 4 is taking forever to charge and will not charge with some chargers?

My sons I pad 4 is taking forever (hours) to charge and will not charge with some of the plugs?

My iPad air is taking FOREVER to charge?

My iPad was charging perfectly about two days ago and then all of a sudden it started taking AGES to charge. At first I thought it wasn't charging at all, then I realized that it was just taking SO long. The little charging symbol does not show up on the top of the screen but if I put it off, it does turn back on when I plug it in. I've tried restarting my iPad, changing chargers, airplane mode while charging, and pretty much anything else I could find on the internet. Last night I left it OFF while it was charging so it would charge faster, it went from 3% to 30%. So obviously it DOES charge but it took 9 HOURS for it to egg up 27%. This is getting really annoying and I've been needing it for school. I've also been I able to update it because the charge is too low. Any reason why or quick fixes?!

Here are a few things that may interfere with charging.
1. Bad charger. Are you using the original Apple charger that came with the device? Try a different Apple charger.
2. Bad cable. Try a different cable and be sure it is an Apple or certified name brand cable.
3. Dirt, fuzz, or lint in the connection port. Check and carefully clean with a wooden toothpick if necessary.
4. Software glitch. 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.
5. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

IPad Air taking forever to charge!

My new iPad Air needed it's first big charge last night - was down to about 9% battery. I put it on charge at 11pm and at 7am this morning it had only reached 82%. Is this normal?

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Charge new ipad on macbook pro (mid 2010)

I have a Macbook Pro MID 2010. When I connect my new ipad using MAC OS X Lion it charges normally, but when I connect it on my Windows 7, it doesn’t.
does any of you guys know how to make it work?

Newer mac books have USB ports that provide sufficient wattage to charge an iPad. Very few windows laptops have high powered USB ports so they can only trickle charge an iPad when they can easily charge an iPhone.
It is because the iPad, as has been mentioned, needs to pull 10 watts through the charging system to do a normal charge. This is why the iPad comes with a dedicated 10 wall charger and not the standard 2.5 watt wall charger that comes with the iPhone and iPod.
If you need to buy an extra wall charger for your iPad for when you are on the road or to keep at work make sure it is truly iPad compatible. I found a really nice two port charger that provides high (10 watts) capacity on one port and low (2.5 watts) on the other. So I can charge both my iPhone and iPad at the same time without damaging my devices or the charger.

HDMI Adapter no longer charges new iPad ?

I bought a shiny new iPad 3rd Gen, and am having difficulties with my existing Apple HDMI Adapter, which, apart from the "This accessory is not supported" popup, will not charge the device even when being plugged to an iPad Power Adapter. Have any of you guys encountered this problem ? Any sollutions ?
Thanks,
Darie

I don't have an iPad-3 but this makes no sense. It's just a matter of wires routing to the iPad. Perhaps you might clean the connectors by disconnecting/connecting several times.

Charge new iPad with iPod USB adapter 5V 1amp?

Is there any problem to charge my new iPad with a USB iPod wall adapter with an output of 5V 1amp? And is it okay to do it daily? Will it affect in any way the battery?

Overheating, charging new ipad

Could the overheating and terribly-long charging of new ipad (and the apparent non-pervasiveness among new owners) be related to different screen manufacturers (i.e., samsung, sharp, LG...)?

When will Apple begin taking preorders for the new iPads?

Apple said - and many websites reported - that they would begin taking "pre-orders" for the new iPads beginning on 10/17 (many said starting at 12:01 am). Well, it's now after 12:01 am on 10/17, in the US Pacific Time Zone, yet it appears (to me at least) that one can not place an order yet.
When exactly are they supposed to begin?

Hi ..
Not sure what other websites are reporting time wise but orders usually don't start until 10am Pacific Daylight Time on the date pre orders become available.
It's currently 12:20am in Cupertino, California; Apple's headquarters.
