Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

How can I download iTunes for iPad Air?

Any idea about how I can download iTunes for my iPad Air? If it it is to be downloaded from the App Store, what is the name of the App?
Plus, how do I sync it to my iTunes library on my Windows PC?

The iTunes App on an iDevice is not the same as the iTunes Application for a computer.

Any update on wifi disconnect for Ipad Air 2? Jan 11, 1015

Lots of documentation of many people with the same problem. None of our other devices including iphone 6 phones do not have this problem. I will be returning this Christmas gift within 2 days if there is not a fix. This is too frustrating.

Hello ahyankee,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPad will disconnect from the WiFi. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

Mifi devices are usually quite small. Think Credit Card size, and maybe slightly thicker. So not really a big device you need to carry around.
In any case if you are still within the 14 day return period you may be able to return it to an Apple retail store. It needs to be an Apple Owned store, not sure Authorized Resellers will let you do it.
Other than that, bob points out, you may want to try to use the iPhone as a hotspot for the iPad. If your Carrier supports it. Like the Mifi device, the iPhone will share its cellular internet connection out to other devices over a Wireless network the iPad can use.

If I use iphoto software, I can't see the ipad air on the browser...

You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

Restore rain drops wallpaper for iPad Air

How do I restore rain drops wallpaper for iPad Air pleas. Someone changed it, but now I cannot get it back. It is not in Wallpaper settings.

You've put the iPad into recovery mode, as per the instructions half-way down this page : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled ?

Are we supposed to purchase an anti-virus for iPad Air?

Are we supposed to purchase an anti-virus for iPad Air? Or is it secure without one.

Virus's - defined as a malicious program that propagates itself through the operating system - cannot run on an ipad due to its sandboxed operating system. You can still fall victim to phishing if you put your info in the wrong place or enter it in the wrong site. but, generally, any 'bad' activity on an iPad requires the user to initiate or do something first.
So while you can't get a virus you do have to be smart about how you use the internet and what you do with your device.

Protective Screen/Microfiber cloths for iPad Air 2?...

So what cloth is best to use on my nekkid iPad Air 2?
This is iPad related... I am not super fond of the Zagg type microfiber cloths to clean my new iPad so I went to Office Depot to buy some more soft ones with thicker fibers and when I went home to rinse them with soap and water and found they leaked a bunch of Red dye. Do all microfiber cloths like this blead dye? http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/328506/Ativa-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloths-Re d-Pack/
Or are there some white ones or something that would be better?
And if i put a small amount of water on the cloth will it dye my iPad's white bezel or screen? What is the best cloth to use for iPad Air 2?
Side Note: I chose not to get a protective glass or plastic cover as it hinders the screen and I have dealt with too many issues installing them in the past and having "professionals" intall them did not help. Several Apple store employees even recommended against them. And they were cool about how they told me they werent necessarry unless i'm a person always travelling or using my iPad roughly. It was 2 different dudes that suggested it too.
sorry this is a random and odd post with different questions,
But main questions are:,
1: Protive screen:..... Do I NEED one if I don't take my iPad anywhere but my room?
2: Screen Cloth:..... What kind of or where can I get a good thick microfiber cleaning cloth that won't bleed and will not scratch my iPad Air? (like will a White one work?)
Thanks so so much for any help.
K.

Microfiber cloths will vary widely depending on where you get them & the brand. I haven't really come across any color bleeding issues with the cloths I've used when they've been washed as they have all been light in color (3M white, 3M blue, various other brands green/yellow/orange).
One thing that is a big concern to me personally is the shedding of the microfiber fibers and/or dust from the cloth itself. One test I now use is to hold the cloth and hit the iPad/iDevice screen with a loose , heavy section of it repeatedly about 10 times (kind of like beating the dust out of a regular dust cloth against a hard surface). Some cloths will shed ALOT of fibres onto the screen and can be see after only one or two hits. These are the cloths I avoid since simply wiping the screen with it leaves tons of fibers & dust behind. And they will also tend to exhibit that same behavior even after being washed multiple times.
The best ones I've found are those made by 3M and some that are sold in AutoZone (yes, AutoZone).

Asked for iPad Air 2 box says iPad Air no 2 64GB with wi fi cellular. is this correct?

asked for iPad Air 2 box says iPad Air no "2" 64GB with wifi cellular. Is this correct?

My iPad Air 2 WiFi 64 GB box does not say "iPad Air 2", only "iPad Air", even on the back where it lists the product. It is confusing (why Apple decided to mess with us, I don't know). And, since mine will be a Christmas gift that was shipped to me, with little time to exchange it before the holiday, a little unsettling to say the least.
Here is what an Air 2 box should look like...
