HT201471 IPAD 4th generation vs. IPAD Air

Just bought first IPad from Amazon - 4th generation with retinal display 32 gig WiFi. First, didn't know about AIR model recently released. Also, didn't get Wi-Fi - ATT. Can I add ATT later? Should I return and get the AIR?

Talked to my brother on the phone yesterday. He is wanting to buy an iPad. He read an ad about an iPad with retina display from a dealer. While the iPad air has been out for over a month now there are many third party dealers who still have the older model in stock. Some customers buy these and are unaware that a newer model exists. Others willingly buy the older model because there are offered them at a lower price.
My suggestion is to go with the latest model. Return the iPad with Retina Display and buy the iPad air.
If you want an AT&T cellular iPad you need to include that when you buy the iPad as it cannot be added later.

HT201471 IPAD Air 1475 Community

Is Ipad A1475 supported mobile calling in India or not. Can any body clarify my doubt. Is it possible in India?

The iPad is not a phone. The only way to make calls from an iPad, regardless of the country you're in, is to use one of the voice-over-IP services such as Skype.

What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

The standard 1-year Apple Care warranty only covers defects in materials and workmanship, not damage due to accidents.

Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)

Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini

iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad

A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications.

Is the Ipad with Retina diplay the new 4th Generation IPad

Is the IPad with Retina display the 4th Generation IPad?

The iPad Air has just been released and it is the most recent one, so it is the one that most users get. It's false that it is no longer available.
The 4th generation iPad has got Retina display and was released in 2012, so it is the iPad with Retina display. Note that Apple also referred to the 3rd generation iPad as the iPad with Retina display

How do i get pictures off i pod touch 4th gen to ipad air?

The PhotoStream only works for the last 30 days of photos that are in the iPod's PhotoStream.
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
For other photos you have to:
- email them
- Use a cloud service
- Import them from iPod to your computer
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Then sync them to your iPad
iTunes: Syncing photos

IPad 4th generation with Accidental Damage Protection

I have purchased an iPad 4th generation with Accidental Damage Protection on January 27, 2013 but it's still in perfect condition and I'm using an OtterBox Defender Case. The iPad has never been dropped even in the OtterBox Defender Case. There will be a new iPad Air 2 coming by the end of the year. If I want to trade in the old iPad for a new iPad Air 2 that ships with iOS 8. What happens if I have remaining time left on the protection plan if I want to trade in for a newer iPad model? The protection plan is unused?

Hi Keith,
Like Mbrguy mentioned, you would be able to cancel your service plan for a pro-rated refund if you ultimately decide to trade in your current iPad through our Trade In program. If you still have the original box, documentation, and Apple accessories, then make sure to bring these in as well to ensure you receive the highest trade in value possible. Just remember to remove any accessories that weren't originally included with the device though as these parts typically do not have a trade in value.
I hope this helps!

after update iOS 8 my camera connection kit does not work on my 4th generation iPad message reads 'this accessory is not supported by this ipad'
has anyone else had this problen

I Have ordered from Amazon an Apple MD822ZM/A Lightnjng to SD Card Camera Reader £27.95. I will let you know if it works. I am annoyed as I do not think it is fair that you can only use Apple accessories and I am sure there must be others too My other was not Apple and cost under £10 but now after update does is not compatable!

Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad 2, if my ipod is still under warranty?

The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.

Wifi problems ipad 3rd and Time capsule 4th generation since iOS 8 upgrade

Does anyone have the same issue?... I have wifi problems betwen ipad 3rd generation and Time capsule 4th generation since iOS 8 upgrade. Solution: I must switch on/off airplane mode in order to start using Wifi...
I have the latest updates for all equipment and I don't have similar problems with my iphone, macbook or mini-ipad.

It works ... removing and reestablish the wifi connection works. Thanks ...

I have an Olympus E620 and have bought an IPad 4th Generation. How can I transfer my pictures from the camera to the IPad?. My camera does not take SD cards.

I have an Olymput E620 and iPad 4th generation, how can I download the pictures off the camera to the iPad?
The only cable I can find with lightning and usb is the apple camera adaptor but it is £25 from Apple which is a bit expensive if it will not work. Some peoples reviews seem to say this will not work, I can not use the camera reader by Apple as this only takes SD cards and my camera takes XD and compact flash cards. I have realised that you cannot use this cable on a card reader which is a shame and means taking more cables on holiday with you and more likely to get lost. This is so frustrating as one of the reasons of buying the iPad was to use, to transport photos whilst away instead of having lots of cards which do get lost and damaged. I hope someone can help as there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what works in cases like this.

go to start - computer - right click on ipod and import pics.
Peace, Clyde

TS1702 Hi my Daughter and I got new iPad 4th generation for Christmas, we are unable to connect to FaceTime, it keeps saying we r not available. Can you please help me to figure this out ?

Hi can someone please help ? My Daughter and I got new iPads for Christmas. 4th generation. We r unable to use FaceTime it is saying we are unavailable for FaceTime and it hangs up. Could someone please explain how to resolve this mater....thank you !

That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.
Regards.

Every time I try and use iTunes or the App Store on my iPad Mini, I keep getting the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". However, on my iPod Touch 4th Generation - signed into the same account - it works with no problems. Can anyone help? Thanks!

As I've already mentioned, I can't connect to iTunes or the App Store, the same message appears every time: "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I downloaded a few apps before I connected my iPad Mini to my Computer. I started doing an update that was about 9 or 10 hours long, somewhere around that time, and I unplugged it about halfway through the update and since then I've not been able to get onto iTunes or the App Store. I checked to see if I could continue the update but when I looked on iTunes again, no updates appeared. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, everything works absolutely fine and it is logged into the same Apple ID. I've tried resetting my Network Settings, logging into someone else's Apple ID, connecting to a different Wifi, changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, rebooting my Computer and iPad and changing the HTTP Proxy to Auto. Is there anything else I could try or am I just overlooking something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here, thanks!

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

IPad (4th generation) no longer connects to 1st generation time capsule

Hi all.
I am stumped. I have a 1st generation 500 MB Time Capsule to which I can successfully attach wirelessly an iPhone 4, iPhone 5, 2 MacBook Pros, a 2nd generation iPad and until recently a 4th generation iPad. I note recently because all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, I can no longer connect the iPad 4th gen. Literally one day I was connected and the next no longer. My network is hidden, WPA2 protected and MAC address controlled. When I try to connect, I get "unable to join network".
The iPad 4th gen has no problem connecting to any other WiFi network, including a current generation Time Capsule.
TC firmware is up to date. iPad iOS up to date.
What I have done so far:
Unplugged Time Capsule and after a few minutes plugged it in again. I reset the WiFi connections on the iPad via general settings. I also changed the network from hidden to not hiden and removed the password protection. When that didn't work, I reset the password and hid the network.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!!

Change both the name of the wireless network and the password
Make sure that the name of the network adheres to the following guidelines
No more than 20 characters in the name....shorter is better
Use only letters and numbers in the name....no special characters like an apostrophe, dollar sign, etc
No blank spaces in the name
Same rules for the password
Avoid the hidden network setting if possible, as it will not keep anyone that really wants to see your network from doing so, and it does make it more difficult for some devices to connect
If the iPad still will not connect, you have an iPad problem. You may need to completely restore the operating system on the iPad, or better yet, get a new iPad if it can be exchanged.
The experts over at the Ipad Support Community might have a few more tips for you. We are not iOS experts here.
