How do i get my new ipad to pick up my iphone phone/email contacts? it has synced with my husbands Iphone email instead. Thanks
During the set up process of the ipad it has picked up all his email contacts and not mine although Ive successfully set up my email its just got his contacts for some reason. How do I get rid of his and sync mine from my email accounts instead?
Here's some more info about the router settings:
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.

how can I get my new ipad 4 to read my compact flash cards? If not, can I download the images directly from my camera?
Tom, thanks for your quick reply. I'm a commerical photographer using Canon 5D mk2's mostly and have in the past just downloaded images to a mac book for backup. I really liked the compact size of the Ipad and just got the retina model with the camera connection kit and seem to be hearing that CF readers can't be used with it b/c they draw too much power. Seems like I remember reading I could use a cord that might have come with my cameras to download directly to the Ipad. I haven't tried it yet as I can't find the connection but then you just said it can't be done?
I'm COMPLETLY lost as to your "first pluging in a flash drive to my computer, advice. Do you mean Ipad when you say computer? "then put your movie/photo files into the folder." HOW????????
Then plug it into the Ipad?????? TOTALLY lost.
Also your saying just "do a google search for a reader doesn't work b/c NONE are able to work with the newer Ipads b/c they use TOO much power or so everyone says everyone that have tried.
Hope you can help a little more b/c I'm really getting frustrated with all the conflicting advice!

How do I get my new iPad 2 to work?
Hello there. I am new to Macbook Pro's and iPad 2's. I bought this here Macbook Pro about a month ago. I bought a new iPad 2 Wi-Fi 16GB yesterday from Best Buy. I'm not very "computery". I provide live sound (I run sound / mix bands) for a livng. The ONLY reason I bought the Macbook Pro and the iPad 2 is so I can use the iPad 2 to remote control my digital mixing console (mixing board).
So, I take the iPad 2 out of the box. I don't remember doing it, but I already had iTunes on this laptop. I didn't have an Apple ID so I lucked into finding out how to do that. I made an Apple ID and a password.
Then I connected the cable to the Ipad 2 and this Macbook Pro. I registered the iPad 2 (I think?) and then tried to "sync" the iPad 2. Before clicking "sync", there were boxes to click on that I didn't understand but I went ahead and clicked "sync" at the bottom.
So I figured I could now select "Sign in with an Apple ID" on the iPad 2. I did that OVER AND OVER but a box keeps popping up that says,
"Could Not Sign In
There was a problem connecting to
the server.
OK"
I am so frustrated! I'm not a big computer person. I get on the computer to read and send emails, watch Youtube videos, and look to see who's fighting next weekend (boxing and MMA). That's about it! I though I should at least be able to check my email on this iPad 2? Can I at least check my email on it?
In Sesame Street terms, what is a server? I Googled it but it's not in Sesame Street terms.
I wonder why I can't at least get on the internet with this iPad 2?
I'm on the internet right now with a Macbook Pro. There's a cable connected to it and the iPad 2. Shouldn't I be able to get on the internet with the iPad 2?
What buttons do I need to push? What boxes do I need to click? I'll worry about downloading (I hope that's the right term) the stuff to mix remotely later.
I hope someone out there can help me. I need to use this for work. I need to get this going. Thank you, ANYONE for any help you can give me.Here's some more info about the router settings:

How can I get my new iPad Air to steam Netflix in HD?
When I turn on movie titled "example short 23.976" on Netflix app, it shows that it streams in about 500 kps. But when I stream the same film on my older iPad 3, it shows that it streams 4300 kps. I have comcast internet.

How do I get the music I bought from iTunes on my phone back after it has been deleted?
After I bought all the music I tried backing it up on my computer but it didn't sync all the songs I had boughten. So when I went back to iTunes to just see if I could buy them all over again a box popped up and said that I had already purchased this song. So how do I get it back if it is not on my computer or on my phone?
HT2519, look that up on support.apple.com in the search bar in the top right hand corner, it will teach you how to download past purchases to your iTunes library or whatever means you so chose through the article it should walk you through it. You ARE allowed to download past purchased music, but like someone previously stated, only in the USA.

I can't get a new ipad to restore to my previous ipad's last point
I bought a 3rd generation iPad.. I am trying to set it up using my ipad 2's last cloud restore, but when I try it says no backups available! Thankfully I just restored my ipad 2 so I dont lose anything right now! How do I get this new ipad to update?!?! It worked fine with my husbands new ipad from his ipad 1
I had this exact problem.
My icloud backup would not restore to my new iPad. Easy solution:
Update your new iPad to iOS6 (they are not updated out of the box). Likely your old iPad is on iOS6. The backups are not compatible across different iOS platforms.
After the update, you will find that your most recent backup will show up as a restore option.
Hope this helps... -
Does the new ipad 4g gps works without cell phone signal
does the new ipad 4g gps works without cell phone signal?
GPS has no need of a cell phone signal or wifi. The only reason you would need a data signal is to download maps to enable the GPS to show you where you are. If you installed an app which includes the mapping, for instance TomTom, you have no need for data reception.

I am moving to Alice Springs, Australia, this summer from the U.S. I would like to get the new iPad to use while traveling back and forth from the U.S. to Australia, and within Australia. How can I found out if I will be able to access all the functionality of the iPad in Alice? Will I need to purchase a local plan of some sort? I have never owned an Apple product before -- I'm a newby!
Aside form the limitation of LTE to the 700MHz and 2.1GHz bands (which rules out LTE in Europe I gather, at least as it stands now) the new iPad should let you use a GSM 3g/2g/edge network anywhere. The CDMA Verizon model will only be able to use it's native CDMA radio band in the USA (that radio will be locked to Verizon), but it's international GSM radio is the same as the AT&T model.
Keep in mind though that by far the cheapest option when abroad is to take advantage of free wifi as much as possible (well, that is always the cheapest option, since it is free). I know several people who have taken their wifi-only iPads and iPad2s to Europe and said they did not find the lack of 3G really inconvenient at all as most towns had plenty of free or cheap wifi access all over the place.
And in 3 years, your iPad will be at least 2-3 generations behind, LTE will have already been replaced by 5G or whatever the next new generation of cellular ends up being named (and the "young" kids will be wondering what the heck 3G even means or meant - dang that stuff was from the olden days!), and you can pitch that ancient piece of technology and start things all over again -
I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?
Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
Cheers, Tom
