Help with Ipad (3rd gen) wifi

I have a problem with my Ipad where I'm unable to scroll across a video. For instance if im playing a video on youtube or iplayer, I'm unable to forward the video. I have restored the ipad through Itunes but has not resolved the issue. Any ideas why this is happening?

For the issue with Messages, try this. Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Then try typing and sending a message.
Did you restore as new? You didn't say if you did or not? I don't think this is going to help with the video scrubbing but it doesn't hurt anything. Reboot your iPad.
Reboot 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.

IPad 3rd gen wifi & external bluetooth gps receivers

Has anyone had success connecting the iPAD 3rd gen wifi to external bluetooth gps receivers, other than the XGPS150 or Bad Elf?

I had the same issue. I came up with a work around until they get it fixed.
I also attempted to sync selected folders from my computer to my Ipad 3. Only 3 of the 8 picture folders would sync to my new Ipad 3. . I had same issue as noted above. The sync would start and then stop. The selected folder which was syncing would disappear from the Ipad 3. .
My work around: I created a new folder in my Pictures file, copied and pasted the photos in new folder.
I entered the Pictures folder on my computer, I made a new folder and named new folder IPAD3 ABCD
( ABCD was specific name of contents in folder), I then copied photos from original file that would not sync and pasted them in the new folder named IPADABCD. I did this one at a time. I went back and re-synced one new folder at a time. I only had to redo the above list one time for one folder that did not sync after doing this. But all my photo folders are now on Ipad3.
Hope this helps.

Ipad 3rd gen wifi problem

i bought my ipad 3rd gen (wifi only) last week and when i got it home it connect to my wifi fine. but yesterday after coming home from school, it would not reconnect to my home network. suggestions?

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Help... With iPad 3rd gen.

I have an issue... Ever since I purchased my iPad 3rd gen. in April, I have had a speck of dust under the screen. Ever since, I have wanted to get an exchange... But never got a chance to do because I live about 3 hours away from the nearest apple store... Is dust under screen covered in the warranty? Do you think they would still exchange it for another one? My question came up because the 4th gen iPad came out this week.
Thanks!

Should be covered under the 1 year warranty.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Music missing artwork after syncing with iPad 3rd Gen

All the music on my MBP has artwork with them. Whenever I copy music from my MBP to my iPad 3, only 10% of the artwork shows up on my iPad. Anyone ideas why this is happening or how to correct it? Kinda ugly looking at music and only a handful of songs have artwork for them. I spent A LOT of time getting all the artwork for them so it's kinda annoying this is happening. I've done the "Get Album Artwork" bit already on my iPad however that doesn't work at all. Any ideas.

AHA! Solution!
At the bottom of the Music screen in the ipad (3rd gen) there are a set of buttons named store, playlists, songs, artists, albums, and more. Press the more button, then select shared, then select your computer in shared (I am sure home sharing must be on). All of the album art showed up immediately.
Oops, No solution... only the homesharing screen, albums in ipad not affected.

IPad 3rd Gen WIFI or GSM?

My iPad 3rd Gen is a 16Gig wifi+cellular version. I did face a problem of getting the error of wrong firmware earlier at times when I tried to restore it by manually downloading the firmware.
The Model stated in About section of Settings is = 'MD369B/A'
I am downloading the firmware iOS 7.0.4
Which firmware should I download, GSM or WIFI ? Kindly guide me!
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Since its cellular you'll want the GSM version.
But now sure where you are getting this option. iTunes will download the correct one Automatically.
If you are a developer and have access to alternate firmware versions then this should be posted in the developer forums.
Other than that, downloading firmware separately is not something supported by Apple.

Problems with iPad 3rd gen charging in car

I have a 2xUSB 2.1amp car/cigarette charger. My 1st gen iPad mini charges perfectly using it, but my 3rd gen iPad will only trickle charge.
Is this simply due to the 3rd gen iPad battery being power hungry? Would getting a 12w car charger work? (I'm unsure what wattage my current charger is)
The iPad charges fine with regular wall plug chargers. It is running iOS 8.1.2
Any background / advice would be very gratefully received. I've read that doing a factory reset may resolve the issue - is that true?
I'm loathe to go and spend more money on car chargers if the issue is with the iPad battery itself.
Thank you.

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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

HT204023 Why doesn't my new ipad (3rd gen) wifi+4g with virgin have personal hotspot?

Hi there, I have a new iPad Wifi +4G that I recently purchased whilst I was overseas in America from an Apple Store. I have a data plan back here in Australia which is a $99 micro sim for 10GB of data for a year which is with Virgin (running on the Optus network).
I have with no success found the personal hotspot setting anywhere, whether it be in settings main menu or settings, general, network. I have tried with the network on and off and have not found it.
I rang Virgin, who somewhat explained that they weren't doing personal hotspot yet, or at all (kinda hard to understand their tech support)...
I hope this isn't a Telstra only feature, as apart from their coverage wouldn't go with them anyway.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Harrison.

This solves my question, however annoys the **** out of me. Watching the apple keynote for the new iPad they said customers would have personal hotspot built in. It seems that apple has screwed around with their phrasing again, not mentioning it would in fact be carrier based.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards, Harrison
IMHO your reasoning makes no sense. The iPad has what is required for "personal hotspot" built in. It only makes sense that you would need a plan that supports this built in functionality in order to use it.
When you buy a car advertised to get 40mpg do you get **** because the car dealer never told you that in order to get 40mpg you have to buy gasoline? The car's 40mpg capability is built in but you still need to buy gas to use that functionality.

Bluetooth keyboard mapping issues with iPad (3rd gen) after iOS 6.1.2 upgrade

Others may have figured this out more readily than I did, but since I did not find a post on this topic, I decided I would provide this information.
After upgrading my iPad "3" to iOS 6.1.2, my bluetooth keyboard mapping was a bit off. Hitting most keys provided the desired result but not all.
Typing \ would result in ] for example. Typing shift + 2 would result in " rather than the expected (and marked) @.
To fix this I tried turning Bluetooth off and on, etc. No joy.
FinaIly, I went into "Settings," selected "Bluetooth," selected "Apple Wireless Keyboard," clicked on "Forget this Device."
I then powered off the iPad and the bluetooth keyboard. Next, I powered on the iPad and keyboard and went back into "Settings" where I paired the keyboard with the iPad again. Everything then worked as desired.
It's possible, that you may not need to go to the trouble of powering off and on the iPad and the keyboard. Simply "forgetting" the device and then pairing the keyboard with the iPad again may suffice.

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. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod 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 exact 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 whether or not a battery problem exists.
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.

IPAD 3RD GEN WIFI 32GB : BLACK SCREEN/WILL NOT OPEN

Hi everyone.
I am not sure what the **** is going on with my luved Ipad. It has been working perfectly until last weekend when I turned it on as normal but it would not open to my first page. Normally I simply open my ipad cover and it starts up straight away, I put in my password and away I go. All I have at the moment is a 'black' screen. I have tried pressing the Home button but it does not open my ipad.
I have tried connecting to Itunes and updaing which it does (there is about 50% battery left) in Itunes on my computer, but my ipad does not open.
I bought the above ipad online at the Apple Store here in Australia on the 14th June 2012.
I luv my ipad and am keen to get it working again.
I know there are some amazing helpers out there in ipad land. Could you please suggest what I should do as it is not operating at the moment.
I'll await your thoughts
Many thanks
Allan : Brisbane/Australia

Gees : sorry everyone. I posted my problem then noted on the RHS reading pane that some of you geniuses suggested to hold down the Home Button with the On/Off Button : its a MIRACLE !
It is now working like a dream.
Many thanks again : this is a terrific source of info
Best wishes again

Help with ipod 3rd gen and itunes

I want to remove the music from i tunes but when I do that it gets removed from the i-pod. The reason I want to remove it is because my computer is very very slow and when I add music it gets slower. So is it possible to remove the music from the i tunes list and it doesn't get removed from my i-pod? Thanks!

my advice would be, get rid of itunes cause it slows down your computer alot, and use another program like winamp or media monkey. where do you get your music from?

HT204291 iPad 3rd Gen & AirPlay to AppleTV

Anybody having trouble with iPad 3rd Gen and AirPlay? I can connect, mirror, and then it freezes. They are on the same wifi network.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Do you clean your iPad screen? Do not use standard window cleaners, with ammonia or alcohol, like Windex, but a damp towel, followed by a micro-fibre cloth is recommended. There are also cleaners you can buy which are specifically designed for iPad/iPhone devices, such as iClean from Monster.
