How to ensure ipad4 is new and not refurbished

How to check if my ipad4 is new and not refurbished product
I purchased a new ipad4 from John Lewis and I opened the box after taking it to home and found one corner having a minute dent, now the vendor says I have dropped the iPad hence the dent is formed

You can see the model number in Settings>General>About>Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved). For example MC605B is the model MC605 and B is for the region.
A refurb iPad has a new back, screen and battery and comes in a brown box.
 Cheers, Tom

  • How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

    How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

    "Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

    Just don't install the sample schemas. See the installation guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10831/installation.htm
    Using the Database Configuration Assistant
    When you install Oracle Database with the Oracle Universal Installer, the sample schemas are installed by default if you select the Basic Installation option. Selecting the sample schemas option installs all five schemas (HR, OE, PM, IX, and SH) in the database. If you choose not to install the sample schemas at that time, you can add them later by following the instructions in section "Manually Installing Sample Schemas".
    Choose a custom install and don't install the sample schemas.
    All other schems/tables installed are REQUIRED by Oracle

    I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
    Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....

  • Why is apple releasing the ipad4 witha new and inproved wifi attena without addressing the wifi issue in the ipad3

    Why is apple releasing the ipad4 witha new and inproved wifi attena without addressing the wifi issue in the ipad3

    Jim Level 5 person ....I am very happy for you that your usage will not be affected, please accept my  congratulations.
    Now I have to point out that going ballistic has certain connotations but posting on an internet forum is not one of them.
    I appear to be one of thousands who are all expressing their outrage in a rational and intelligent manner which cannot be said for your lebvel 4 + collegues on this forum.
    Finally there has been an ongoing issue wiith the iPad 3 Wifi on certain wifi only models , I have not encountered it and it seems clear neither have you. That of course does not discount the fact that many others have experienced this issue , an issue which may reveal itself to you or I in the future particularly as I have only been using mine for a fortnight.
    The following is a relevant link for your information :

    Hi barryfromwarrington,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  There are two things I can think of to keep your Stepdad's information separate from yours on the computer and the iPad.   On the computer, he should have his own administrative account, and on the iPad he needs his own Apple ID for iTunes and iCloud services.  Here is some basic information to get started.  I don't know if you have a Mac or Windows computer, so I'll include info for both.)

    OS X Yosemite: Set up users on your Mac
    If your Mac has multiple users, you should set up an account for each person so he or she can personalize settings and options without affecting other users. 
    Add a user
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon  to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password. 
    Click Add  below the list of users. 
    Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user.
    administrator: An administrator can add and manage other users, install apps, and change settings. 
    Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later. 
    Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Using a password hint is recommended to help the user remember his or her password. 
    Click Create User.
    For an administrator, select “Allow user to administer this computer.”

    You can't reformat it and not wipe everything on it.

    Only other option, back it up on a different computer.

  • I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?

    I want to delete a few contacts, apps, pics etc from my iphone, but when I delete and connect to my laptop they sync and come back again. How can I delete those items and not get them back when I connect my iphone to my laptop?
    Also where exactly on the laptop is teh data stored.
    Thank you!!

    go to 'Edit' in the menu bar. Then choose 'Preferences'.
    you'll see a pop-up and there's a tab called 'Devices' there. If you click that, you will be able to check a box that says 'prevent automatic syncing for iPods, iPads and iPhones' or something like that.
    Hope this helps
    NB: if you don't even see the menu bar that has options like 'File, Edit, View, etc', first click the black/white square button on the top left of your screen, and then click 'show menu bar'. It should pop right up.
    Good luck
