Help with brand new iPad 3, wi-fi DREADFULLY slow.
I just bought it a few days ago, and I'm still tinkering with and moving into it, my problem is the wi-fi is painfully slow, almost to the point that it's unusable. Since last night at about 9pm I've had this thing downloading my podcasts, and it STILL hasn't finished. To be fair, it's about 130 episodes. But still, it shouldn't have taken more than a few hours. By comparison, my Android tablet and phone have no problems with wi-fi speed. I even performed a little unscientific test. My ipad was downloading a podcast and it was at about 30mbs out of 65mb downloaded. I got my Galaxy Nexus, browsed for the exact same podcast episode, and downloaded the full episode in the time it took my ipad to get all the way up to 37mbs. My ipod touch is having the exact same problems by the way, but I don't really care about that since I'm getting rid of it.
I've tried playing with a few of the settings in the wi-fi settings, and once in a while it will get a little bit better, but it reverts back to its terrible speeds after a minute or two.
What's going on here, how can I fix it?
What make, model, and version router do you have?

Serious Issues with brand new iPad 3
Ok so I was given a brand new iPad 3 as a gift on Sunday. And since then my life has been stressful!!
Email: When I click on the email icon up comes a message saying Unable to Move Message, referring to one of the first emails I tried to delete. So, no email program then.
Music: My windows media files of literally hundreds of ripped CD's will not copy across. The system is not interested and the computer hangs after a few seconds. So no music program then.
Documents: I don't know how to get literally a decades worth of MS Word docs onto my iPad. The Doc app I downloaded has no instruction page, so I don't even know how to underline a heading (it's called Goodreader). So no document program.
Calendar: When I tried to sync my outlook calendar instead of syncing it, it wiped it clean and dumped the appointments onto the iPad. This means with no appointments now on Outlook, it has synced with Google Calendar and wiped Google calendar clean and in turn wiped my blackberry clean of a year's worth of appointments. I am royally and truly stuffed now.

I just read about the possible issue that some folks are having with their new iPad wifi (my seemed to be running very slowly but I thought that perhaps it was just me overreacting). How do I know if I have a definite problem, and what is my recourse? Do I need to take it to an Apple store for testing? I have apple care which I assume addresses stuff like this. Thoughts? Thx so much.
Your iPad is covered by the normal warranty for one year. If you have AppleCare that extends the coverage. If you feel there is a problem with your wifi reception visit an Apple store with your iPad for a consultation. Be sure to make an appointment before you go.

Help with brand new IP Phone 7941G
I have bought a brand new phone as above. I have it currently connected to a POE switch which is fine. It has power but it is constantly saying Configuring IP in the botttom left. I am not sure how to set the correct time and date or the correct time zone/location. I have been tralling the web for a few hours now and I would just like a step by step guide to configure my phone. Many thanks Charles
As there's no version or mention if this is CUCM or CME, i'll go with CUCM 7.X
You configure the timezone under:
Date/Time Group Configuration
Then you make reference to it in the Device Pool and assign the DP to the phone.

Just bought my new ipad and plugged it in to my imac but the computer seems to acknowledge it but the upper right hand corner of the ipad saids not charging
HELP do I HAVE A PROBLEM ALREADY!
now I seem to have a problem with mac runs altot slower and only in safe mode
any help would be welcome .You're OK. You probably have it plugged into the keyboard which doesn't put out a lot of current (I'm not sure if it puts out any current at all). You have two options.
1. Temporarily unplug your printer and use that port. (Do NOT use a USB hub.)
2. Use the wall charger and charge the iPad completely. Then use the more convenient keyboard connector and ignore the message. The iPad battery is phenomenal and you can do whatever you need with no worries.
Finally, this is a worthwhile document:

Help with a new iPad... Trying to recover apps
My iPad was stolen some days ago. I have a ne one but I lost my apps. Can I recover them? Should I go to an apple store? Or there is nothing to do? I am using the same I'd so the history should be saved anywhere... Big mistake that I made... No iCloud!
You don't need an iCloud account in order to download your apps again. Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your new iPad. You can download all of your apps again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.
If you sync with iTunes - all of your apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer and you can sync them again if they are in there. -

Hello, My birthday is Feb. 20. Because I recently got an iBook with a dead battery, I thought I would treat myself and get a new battery for my iBook. Well, I have had it in my iBook for about 5 days and it worked fine. But the other day, I powered up my iBook, and the battery was at 97%. It said it was running on AC power, but the charging light was still orange. It also said it was fully charged at 97%. How could this be? It's only a few days old. Please help me fix this problem. Thanks.
P.S I let it run on battery power for a while, I got it down to about 95%. Then I plugged it in. It said it was fully charged. Why is this happening?Hi Carmen
Does the charger ever turn green? I wonder if the charger is working properly and was the cause of the flat battery previously.
If you think the charger is OK, then you may need to reset the PMU.
Ronda Wilson explains how to do this:
• If the computer is on, turn it off.
• Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
• Wait 5 seconds.
• Press the Power button to restart the iBook computer.
Some people have reported that they needed to repeat the procedure multiple times for it to work.
Check that Resetting the PMU is the coreect method for your particular computer by looking at this link:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
However before you do this try and verify that the charger is working properly, as that could be the problem. Perhaps you could borrow a friend's charger if possible and see if your battery can be charged up by it.

Need help with brand new MSI Hawk 460GTX
I upgraded my card from an 8800GT to the 460GTX. I uninstalled the old drivers because it wouldn't POST, now it'll boot into safe mode, but starting normally my screen goes black between the Starting Windows and login screens. I still get audio, but no video. I know theres LED codes on the back of the GPU, but I can't seem to figure out what they mean. Right now the first 4 LEDs are on, but the last 2 are flickering.
setup:
Intel E8400 (3.0GHz) @ 3.6GHz
Zalman NVidia heat sink
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR
4 x 1 GB OCZ HPC Reaper RAM DDR2 1066
WD 1TB hard drive (32mb cache)
Corsair TX750W power supply
MSI Hawk 460GTX
LG Superdrive DVD/CD RW drive
The only thing I can think of is starting the computer in safe mode and downloading the drivers for it before trying to boot normally.
edit: Also, I'm getting a moving mouse cursor on the black screen but no login.Use Driver Sweeper to remove current VGA drivers in "Safe Mode":

Once done reboot and boot to normal windows mode,
then install latest drivers from:

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
I have just dropped my brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped. Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.
Flat rate $299.
Actually, they won't replace the screen, they'll replace it. The following is a C&P from the link that I gave you.
"If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below." -
I have a brand new iPad 4. I plugged in and it told me that there was new software available. I went to update it and now it tells me "unknown error 1656". Now the pad is in permanent recovery mode and I can't do anything with it. Any info?

This community is great -- very helpful. What is the best way to read "word" docs on my brand new iPad 2? Is there an app for that?
If you're just reading them from email attachments, you can just open it to "view" the document.
However, if you wish to do editing and work, you'll need an application. I use Documents to Go, but there are other versions that people are happy with - do a search in the App store for "office suite" or "word processing".
The next challenge is getting docs back and forth. Doc2Go and others have their own ways to physically sync docs when connected to a computer; you can also email changed/revised/new documents from the iPad to yourself. However, I use a "cloud service" called DropBox that stores docs in the cloud (so I can get to them anywhere) - I paid for the Premium version of Docs2Go to allow that kind of syncing. -
Brand new ipad- it won't auto sync with my PC
I expected to pull out my brand new iPad and plug it into my laptop (windows) and it would be a simple automatic process to make them communicate. The iPad comes with this tiny card that makes it sound completely easy and automatic. That did not happen. I've re-booted my laptop and re-plugged in iPad. I've downloaded newest itunes. Nothing happens in my itunes to detect the iPad like it does when I plug in my ipod. The only thing on the iPad screen is a graphic of the USB cord pointing to and iTunes icon. then it goes black again.
Help! I'm very disappointed that I'm wasting so much time searching for help on something I've spent so much money to invest in, hoping it would simplify my life. So far, not so good.Do you have any other iOS devices like an Iphone of ipod touch that connect to the computer? Also make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements, and make sure you're connecting to a 2.0 usb port directly on the computer, not on a hub.

Brand new ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 21
Brand new ipad just out of box starting setting up and now its stuck in recovery mode and keeps giving error 21 - tried turning off firewalls as suggested and another PC... nothing working... is it a complete turkey or is it me?
Sorry I can't help with your issue. Just wanted to point out that it's not a good idea creating multiple posts on the same topic as it only serves to cause confusion, duplicate answers and divides responses between threads.
