How will the ipad batery and screen like this ???
hi!
i plan on using my ipad in the dental surgery i am working in to stand most of the time on a dock.
while standing on a dock i want it to run movies or slideshows with special offers, before after pictures etc and then i want to take it off the dock several times a day to show the patient his or her pictures i took before to explain findings.
how would the screen like to run 8 hours a day? would it be bad?
how would the batteries react to the ipad running 8 hours a day, most of the time on a dock with power supply but several times a day 5-10 min battery powered. would the battery have a new loading cyce every time i put the ipad back on the dock? would this use reduce the battery life of it?
Most battery suppliers of Nickle-Metal Hydride batteries say leaving them on a charger all the time shortens battery life...but you really have to ask what does that mean with respect to the planned life of the display you are planning. Your own plans for changing to another display approach may make that concern moot.
Apple provides this information on the iPad batteries:
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
An important part of that is the recommendation of monthly complete charge cycles: drain the battery all the way, the unit shutsdown automatically at a charge level of 1%, or so. Then recharges on wall power to full charge. You could probably do that with a single days' usage as you have described.
Since the unit would be constantly changing images, you would not have to worry about anything like display damage from burning pixels like you do with computer monitors.
Why not get one and try it out and see what the patient reaction is? Sounds like a clever use to me.

When will the ipad 4 and ipad mini begin being sold at Best Buy?
I am going to get my ipad 4 at best buy and I wanted to know.
Hi,
I responded to you earlier, and because I thought everyone knew, I did not tell you that it is tomorrow, Fri., Nov. 2nd. Apologies. And remember, they all open at 8:00 am.
If you can, you should really try to get there when they open in the morning if you really want it fast. I doubt that Best Buy and other resellers will get as many ipad 4's and minis as Apple stores will get. Also, and I'm just guessing, the crowds might more likely want the mini than an ipad 4 simply because it's new and different from Apple's regular ipads, so that might help you.
If you can't get there by 8:00 am, you might check with Best Buy customer service now and see if they will also be available on-line at 8:00 am tomorrow and when it will be delivered if you buy on-line.
Hope this helps. -
How do I make a loading screen like this one?
Okay, so for my loading screen, I want a block to appear for every 10% loaded (so they'red be 10 blocks at the end). I know how to make a loading bar, but I'm having trouble making this one. Any help? Thanks.
There are probably a number of ways to approach it. One would be to have a movieclip with 10 frames where a new box is manually added in each frame. You use the percent loaded information to tell that movieclip which frame to go to.

Hi I am a new iPad user and would like to know how to ensure I am using wifi instead of my network provider. At the top of my screen it is showing my providers name and a signal strength. I have a router at home that I want it to use. I will also be traveling to Italy tomorrow and want to ensure it automatically hooks up to the wifi where we will be staying. Any help would be much appreciated.
I copied this from another thread. I made the important line bold. Make sure that WiFi is turned on if you want to use WiFi first.
After successfully connecting to a wireless network, the network and network settings are saved on your iPad. If wi-fi access is on, when returning within range of a wireless network you have successfully connected your iPad with, your iPad will automatically connect to the wireless network, or it should. If 3G access is on, when leaving the range of an available wi-fi network you have access to, it will switch to AT&T's cellular network automatically. If both are on, your iPad should switch between the two automatically and seamlessly. Your iPad will always connect to the fastest wireless connection available at the time as long both options are enabled. Between an available wi-fi network that you have access to and are in range of and AT&T's cellular network, it will or should be the wi-fi network.
Here is the thread.

I found a iPad Mini and would like to return it to the original owner. I believe it was previously stolen and it cannot be activated. Any idea how I can get it back to the original owner?
I am very disappointed (yet I somewhat understand) Apple and how they completely have no interest in helping return lost items. I don't believe the person who traded me this was from around here so I don't even know where to begin. I seen on ebay you can sell them for parts but I don't really believe in doing that and would like to at least try my best to get it back to whom it belongs to. I will be contacting my local police department regarding this but I don't think they will be able to do much if it was stolen from somewhere else. However if nobody claims it in 90 days and I have a letter from my local police station saying I am the new owner, will that be enough for apple to unhold their policy of proving the item belongs to you?

How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!! P.s I'm running newest version of iTunes.
Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.

So i have both the iPad Retina and the iPad 2. I am yet to be convinced that there is a difference between the quality of the pictures on the two screens. They all look the same to me. Suggest a picture which will best demonstrate the difference that a Retina is infact a much much better screen.
Look at the status bar, like where the word "iPad" appears in the upper left.
Or...
Look at the Calendar icon on the home screen. -
Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)
This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

I have the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. I will travel to Europe and would like to know if I need a current covertidor 220-110 for my equipments. I have an adapter, but that did not change the flow and do not want to risk it. Thank you.
All you need is a physical plug adapter, not a voltage converter. All Apple chargers work on any voltage from 110 - 240 worldwide.

I have an iPad 1 and would like to buy the new iPad. Will Apple exchange my old iPad for the new one . I live in Saudi Arabia.
Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.

sign in to itunes store will not disappear and the whole IPad will not let me go into other screens till this pop up goes away. I have entered the password several times and still will not disappear. Turned the IPad on and off but the pop up remain
FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
Try resetting Network Settings
Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again. -

The wifi has been lost or disconnected on my iPad. It's the iPad 2 and has not been updated yet. It's IOS 6.1.3 .. how do I add a network back onto it? I have typed in the name and chosen each of the securities and still hasn't connected!
Hey there Luba_kalstad,
It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
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.
And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My iPad is disabled, but I know the passcode.. When i connect it to iTunes it says it can't access it because it has a passcode. How can i get rid of the passcode without resetting the iPad? And if there is no way to do so, how do I completely reset it?

‘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
