How come my app "find my iphone" always finds my ipad in the middle of the pond out front, 900' north and down 3 stories???
app "find my iphone" puts my ipad in the middle of a pond, 3 stories down and 900 feet or more further away? It doesn't seem like a great app for finding your lost or stole ipad/iphone//
If you are testing this indoors, don't expect accurate results.
GPS signals are very poor at penetrating solid walls, glass, even tree foliage, etc. The device is probably defaulting to triangulation between phone commpany transmission towers, which can be very inaccurate in many locations.

How to avoid apps from my iPhone installed on my iPad?
I just bought an iPad 32Gb Wi-Fi, and as soon as I activated it I got all the apps from my iPhone installed on it, including the ones that don't work on the iPad.
I deleted them from the iPad, but everytime I sync it with my iTunes I get them back again.
Is there a recommended way to sync both an iPhone and a iPad using the same Mac? Or how do you handle that scenario?
Thank you
SimoneHi-
Manually managing the apps will allow you to select which you wish to install/sync.

Using the Applications Tab in the iPad iTunes window will allow you to select which apps are installed. -
Am I the first to be unable to sync my iPhone to IPad Apps?
What exactly did you do ? If you just want the apps then connect your phone to your computer's iTunes, do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy your apps over to your computer's iTunes library, and then connect your iPad and select its Apps tab and use that to select the apps that you want to sync to it and then apply/sync that selection.
If you want the apps content to be copied over, then as well as doing the Transfer Purchases take a backup of your phone (File > Devices > Backup) and then restore that backup onto your iPad - that will replace the current contents of your iPad with what is in the backup, so before doing the restore copy anything off the iPad that you want (photos, documents, iTunes purchases etc) -
how do i recover my lost iphone 4 when i only had the "find my iphone" app, how do i locate it, how do i recover my lost iphone 4 when i only had the "find my iphone" app, how do i locate it
As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward. Using any computer, go to icloud.com. Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone. If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound. Good luck.

how do i find previous owner of iphone 5 so they can take the phone i bought off craigslist and take it off their account so i can use it.
The same way you found them to buy it - use whatever means you
used to accomplish the purchase on craigslist.
Apple cannot/will not give you the information about any previous
owner(s) of the iPhone.
When/if you do contact them, here is what the previous owner needs
to do:
Backup the device to iTunes or iCloud, if desired: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
More Info... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

i got an iPad and all my app's, music, and movies are on it, but when i try to download some apps to mi iPhone, they doesn't appear on the purchased tab, how could i move them back to itunes so i can access thru iCloud? i have an 2nd generetion ipad and an iphone 5, thanks for you answers!
(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

Hi, just need to know how to get my music, video, pictures and apps form my iPhone to my new laptop as the old computer, which I used before was stolen. I only have my phone left and if I try to conect it to my new laptop it's trying to delete everything.
I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.
I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
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. -
How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6
We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.

How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5
You can simply set your system preferences
Sound preference
output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit. -
How come i cant get my iphone to have "game center"
how come i cant get my iphone to have "game center"?
Game Centre is not compatible with the iPhone 3G (compatible devices are listed here http://www.apple.com/game-center/) - I'm not sure whether a reason why was ever given (maybe it wasn't deemed 'powerful' enough).

How come my apps won't open after updating to ios5
how come my apps won't open after updating to ios5?
Thanks for the feedback. This is a custom enterprise application. So there is not an update yet. It will take our developer a little time to get it IOS 5 compatiable. So unless I can change the IOS we can't use application until we get upgrade of the custom app.
