HT4060 Charging iPad 3rd gen using cable and plug provided is VERY slow - like a trickle charge. If I had the wrong plug I could understand this but can anyone explain?

Do I have a real problem or is this NORMAL? I've never heard anyone else complain about this unless they were using their iphone chargers

Are you using the iPad at the same time? If you are, it will charge quite slowly. The absolute best way to charge your iPad is to connect the wall charger to your iPad and when you hear the charging chirp, power your iPad down completely. It charges most effectively when it is completely off. Because the new iPad battery is twice the size of the previous battery, the charging cycle can range (depending on the level of the battery) up to 5 hours even with iPad completely powered off. I personally charge my iPad at night when I'm asleep and don't need my iPad.

I keep getting an error message when downloading a new app which states " Zinio and 5 other apps cannot be purchased at this time" and then it let's me purchase the app that I was looking at? Can anyone explain that?

This worked for someone
I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

IPad (3rd gen.) speaker and microphone suddenly not working and iPad freezes. Help!

I was just watching some YouTube videos on my iPad and noticed that it only had 5% battery left. I plugged it in for charging and continued to watch. After that video had ended I moved onto another one, only to notice that I had no sound. I thought this was just because of low battery, and left it to charge. I came back to the iPad later on, only to find the display not turning on from the home or lock button. I did a reset by holding the home and lock buttons down for around 10 seconds. I showed the Apple logo and turned on. I still had no sound though. I tried using Siri to see if he would sound, but then noticed that my microphone is also not working, and then my iPad froze, and it has continued to freeze in a variety of different locations on the iPad since.
When I attempt to play I sound, I hear a quiet, static-like sound coming from the speaker, as if it is attempting to play it or something. I tried an iPad restore using iTunes but it would not take place, so I erased all data on the iPad and that had no effect. Most times to turn the display I have to reset the iPad also.
Please help!
Thanks,
Tom

You rebooted - by which you mean powered off, then powered on?
Then try a reset:
Hold both the Home button and the Power button down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Let go promptly when it appears.
Wait 30 seconds or so for your iPad to restart.
No information or settings will be lost.

IPad 3rd. gen blinking screen

One week ago, I was using ipad 3rd. gen model A1430 and the screen started blinking and suddenly became black.
I turned off and reseted the device.
But since then, it keeps doing the same thing, and sometimes it takes me a long time to turn on.
Any thought?
I don't have Applecare protection.
One more question: Would Apple accept this iPad as part of payment for a new one?
Thank you
Joao Ferreira

Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data You may need to do this more than once. Bsydd uk

Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

I want to delete photos from camera roll on my iPhone to clear space to install ios7 but after importing photos to iPhoto on my macbook pro only 4 out of 339 photos taken in September landed in events, though all 339 are in Sept photo stream. It seems like on previous uploads all photos "fell" into events according to the day they were taken, as well as into photostream. I want to make sure these photos stick around permanently and do not exist only in photo stream where I imagine they will eventually be bumped from my computer (photostream). Can anyone explain why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?

You have uploaded two different things - pHotos are in one and only one event - if you have the same photo in two different events then you have imported it twice
Please explain what you want - your initial question and yoru current comments are 180 degrees apart
You say they are not all in events
Can anyone explain to me why some of my photos are landing in events and others are appearing only in photo stream?
Now you say they are
All 15 pics appear in Sept 2013 PS
It sound to me like you have no problem except you imported some photos twice adn you may not understand how the automatic import form PS works - but that is not clear
you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, to select Photo Stream > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
The event they are imported into is MMMM YYYY PS
If you import via iTunes sync or by connecting your IOS device via USB then they are importeed into the regular event structrue as defined in your iphoto preferences - and if you imoport via two or more different methods you will ahe duplicates

(iPad 3rd Gen. Wi-Fi) Lack of charging capability while plugged in and in use

Hey all.
For some reason, it has come to my attention that while my iPad (3rd Gen. Wi-Fi) is plugged in (to a standard outlet from the stock charger out of the box) and in use (no battery saving settings; ie. dimming the brighness), it will charge the battery any significant amount. For instance, when I am using it to watch YouTube videos over Wi-Fi while charging it as well, it was at 10% charge, but after...maybe an hour or so, it was at 11% charge. Curious, no?
Is this a problem that should be of any concern? Or should I simply turn it off while charging it? Thanks for any help.
...Why isn't the New iPad listed in "products?" Meh...
Cheers!

IPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes

iPad 3rd gen no longer charges unless shut off and not recognized by iTunes. Done 2 resets, used original charger and cable and bought brand new charger and cable from Apple store. Nothing works. This started yapping after the iOS 7.1.1 update.

Common troubleshooting is to try a different USB port and to give your ipad a reset. (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot)
You can also try on a different computer to see if it's the ipad or the computer.
When you charge, do you try to charge plugged into the wall? that's the best way to charge.
If you go through all that and it's still not working hten it may be time to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

Is it safe to use the new ipad (3rd gen) while on charge

I have the New Ipad (3rd Gen) 32gb wifi onlymodel,, and I use it while on charge i notice that it took way longer to charge while i use... will in not damage the devoce nor the batter if i use it while on charge?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

I upgraded my iPad (3rd gen) to iOS 7. When I go to iTunes and look at the summary and to the "Apps" list tab, iTunes stops working and shuts down. What can I do? I am using a Windows 7 machine.

Hi thanks for the encouragement. It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
down. Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
them. Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
Has anyone else had this problem? My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....

IPad (3rd Gen) charging

For starters, love my new iPad 3rd gen (I guess that's what we're calling it now?), received yeserday. Retina display is noticably different, camera even looks bigger, and I can feel the extra thickness, though not a problem. Also love the dictation. Smart Cover works great. Here's the issue: iPad is not taking a charge, at all.
Details:
Charging icon does appear
Used the 10W power adapter that was included
Display was off, smart cover was attached
Went to bed with iPad at 9%, woke up and said 9%
What I've tried:
Different outlets
Different USB cables
Different 10W power adapters
With and without the extention cord for the power adapter
I'm pretty sure it's an iPad issue, and am booking a Genius Bar appointment today. I'm thinking the only solution is a replacement. If anyone has a suggestion before I'm off, or would like to let us know if you're having the same problem, all comments are welcome
Now on a happier note, love the new iOS 5.1!
The camera shortcut is convenient. I don't really speak Japanese, but sometimes set Siri to that just for fun on my 4S. I like seeing the 4G icon, even though it's nothing new. Best yet, the battery on my iPhone 3GS is a huge improvement! Would maybe last 2 days in standby, now it's been 2 days and 60% battery remains!!

IPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off.

I have a iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi which keeps cycling on and off.

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
