HT4060 why my 3rd generation ipad have to charge more than 8 hours only full?

is't common???

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%.

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.

3rd Generation iPad not fully charging...

Is anyone else not able to fully charge their 3rd Gen iPad? I charge mine throughout the night (for about 8 hours), and I am only getting 97% of a full charge. This was not an issue on my iPad 2. Not sure why I can't get 100%.

- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does Australian Mac App store STILL charge more than US?

Even with the revision on pricing by Apple yesterday, the Oz App store still makes Aussies pay more than apps bought from US App store for Americans. Aperture US=US$79.99, Aperture OZ=AUD$84.99. According to Bloomberg currency conversion today, Aussies should only be paying AUD $74.21. So in real terms why are we slugged an extra AUD$10 more, which would equate to US10.78? The more expensive the app the bigger the difference in cost to us. And why should there be ANY difference considering this is all digital & no packaging or postage involved? Apple, if you are going to change your pricing, please base it on actual exchange rates & make it REAL! You will then find Aussie uptake for apps much greater, same goes for other countries in a similar position.

Folks are directing their feedback on the MAS to Mac OS X Snow Leopard because it is currently a Snow Leopard related app, it comes with the OS's update.
Questioning Apple's decisions about its business and products is a violation of the Terms of Use for the ASC. You agreed not to do so when you opened your account. It may be a legitimate question on other people's forums, but not here.
It is ranting, because all manner of sharing experience about doing business in foreign nations goes ignored in the thread to which I linked, and any others around. BTW, the US prices do not yet have any taxes added to them. The taxes are added at checkout in the US MAS. That is not the case in the MAS for many other nations.

Why do I constantly get loading times of more than 200 hours for a movie rental on Apple TV, but I can stream any netflix movie without issue?

It doesn't really make sense. I have changed the video settings to lower resolution, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. My first two movies with my Apple TV worked fine, but since then I am not able to get 5 minutes into a movie without it pausing and telling me it will be ready to view in 4, 24, 187, 224 hours.

If you're not getting the same problem with sound on films/TV programmes that you've bought (if you are then you could try re-posting in the Apple TV forum on here for how to fix it) then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

3rd generation iPad navigation problem in Middle East countries ?

My 3rd generation iPad navigation is not working ... Only the GPS is working but the directions is not working in Kuwait or in any Middle East countries ... How I can fix it ??

Sounds like you need to use recovery mode now in order to restore your iPad. You will need to use iTunes for this.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.
Here is the site from which the directions are copied.

I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror to an AppleTV. The devices will connect, but the video monitors show only a blank screen. The AppleTV's work fine with various other iOS & OSX devices. Ideas?

I have three AppleTV's where I work. I have two at home. I have an iPhone 4S running iOS7.0.2 which mirrors smoothly via AirPlay. I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 2011 iMac, both running Mountain Lion, both of which mirror smoothly through AirPlay. I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror. The iPad will connect to the AppleTV, but the TV's and projectors only show a black screen when connected: the iPad screen looks as it should, except that the transitions become jumpy when connected via AirPlay. This is true on both networks: at home and at work. Another gentleman using the network where I work has the most recent iPad, also running iOS7.0.2, and he is having the same problem. I have tried to "Reset All Settings." I have tried to "Restore." Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else experience difficulty mirroring the iPad through AirPlay since the release of iOS7.0.2?

No problems exists with the router (on either network described above) or the multiple AppleTV's which are able to mirror multiple other OSX & iOS devices seamlessly. The problem is strictly with the iPad and iOS7.

Re: AirPlay with AirServer connectivity problem

This is an iOS 7 AirPlay mirroring bug...
To make matters worse, the iPad automatically drops its mirroring session 45 seconds after it auto-locks.
3-4 mirroring sessions is all it takes for the iPad mirroring to freeze up.
After this happens, mirroring to an Apple TV only projects a blank screen.
Once the mirroring is hung, the only way to fix it is to restart the iPad.
Apple please fix this iOS 7 issue!

I need to replace the cable to my 3rd generation iPad, charger to iPad. The ones currently available seem to have a different end. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to purchase?

The cable from the power adapter (charger) to my 3rd generation iPad is fraying, but it looks like the available cables now have a different end on them. Can someone tell me exactly what I need to purchase to replace the cable (adapter too?). I also noticed the power adapters are now 5 or 12 watt, but the one that came with my iPad is a 10 watt. Is this going to be an issue?

Using stevejobsfan0123's link, searching the Q&A for "length" shows the cable is roughly 2 feet long.
http://store.apple.com/us/question/answers/product/MA591G/C/what-length/Q9YKTPUH JJYA7HD2D?fnode=3a&qt=length
UPDATE: I see an answer further down in the search result that says it's 1 meter long. I think this is more accurate.

Why does my 3rd generation iPad freeze on an app and then go to the home screen immediately?

Well, my new iPad closes the application and goes to the homes careen. This has been happening on my iPad 2 recently but then I bought the 3rd generation iPad and it does the same thing but more often, Can somebody tell me if this is normal and if it isn't can I send it back and get a new one? And if I get a new one will it do the same thing? Thank you sooo much!

If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in apps, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

Did you get a charger with the iPad 3?
Could be the charger or cable. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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.

I can't update my 3rd generation ipad to ios 8

I want to update my 3rd generation iPad to iOS 8 through the OTA update. I have enough space as it requires 5.8GB and I have almost 10 GB. I clicked on download and install. It did download the iOS update file and then it says, "Preparing Update." In that part, it is very slow and suddenly it freezes then reboots my device to apple logo. When it goes back, it still says, "Preparing Update" and then it will freeze again and reboot. I don't know what to do. I want to have iOS 8 so bad. I have enough space and I don't run apps on the background. I have this problem over a day now. I even tried deleting the iOS 8 file and re-download it but same thing happens. Any suggestion or advice? Thanks in advance.

1st generation vs. 3rd generation Ipad and Cable TV Viewing app.

I recently had the opportunity to borrow a 3rd generation ipad from work. I brought it home and loaded the optimum online app. from my cable company that allows you to watch cable anywhere you are within range of your home WIFI supplied by them.
I was really surprised when I was able to take the ipad out back to the furthest most point of our property, where a summer screen house is set up,
and although the signal from my Netgear WNR834B v2 router was hovering around 1 or 2 signal strength on the iPad3, the quality of the TV signal being streamed did not waver at all. The picture was absolutely pristine (after a few seconds) and there were absolutely no drop outs of the streaming video. Again, THIS with absolute minimum signal strength.
I had to return the device to work, but picked up a used 1st generation iPad on ebay, and loaded the same optimum online app. onto it. On the 1st generation device, the signal was both visually fuzzier (at that furthest point in the backyard) and had freezes and breaks in the streaming video at that same furthest point outside at the edge of the property. It works great inside near the router or in most points in the house and is pristine.
My first question...did they updgrade some technology between the 1st and 3rd generation iPads that would account for the difference in the way the weak signal drops out on the 1st generartion device, but did not on the 3rd generation ipad? Or could that be the app itself somehow making use of the upgraded technology between the two generation of devices?
My second question....I'm trying to figure out how to boost and extend the WIFI signal to that furthest point in the backyard, which is several hundred feet away from the house. An Airport Extreme doesn't seem to provide that distance level of extention, unless I bought two, but that would require one of them being outside to cover the distance I'm trying to get to. I'm contemplating purchasing an Amped Wireless Repeater and range Extender that advertises 10,000 square feet extention, but the reviews on the device are mixed.
Any input would be appreciated.

The major difference between the two versions is that Generation 2 and higher products allow simultaneous dual band wireless operation.
Your Time Capsule will produce either a 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz network, but not both simultaneously. Since you have iPhones connecting to the network, you are using the 2.4 GHz band.
Most of your newer devices are capable of connecting at the much faster 5 GHz speeds, but if you set your current Time Capsule up to operate at 5 GHz, the iPhones and iPod will not be able to connect.
A newer version Time Capsule produces both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simultaneously, so faster devices would connect to the 5 GHz band and slower devices connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
That being said, there is also something to be said for leaving well enough alone. Your call.

I would like to ask if Siri is only applicable after I updated my iPad to iOS 6 or what? And my iPad model is MC706ZP so is this a 3rd generation iPad? Thanks for giving a feedback to my questions!

3rd generation ipad exchange

I read online that 3rd generation ipads acquired within the past 30 days can be exchanged for the 4th generation ipad at no cost. Is this true? And if that is the case, where and how can one go about doing so?

I have read that some stores in northern California are doing a 30 day exchange but this may not be a company wide policy. I suggest you contact a store and ask them.

Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and cannot connect to house wifi. It keeps searching for a connection but the gear wheel just keeps on turning. The wi-fi spot is listed and I entered the security WEP code. I connected a Macbook without problems.

Just purchased a 3rd generation iPad and tried to go thru the startup and connect to the house wi-fi. Found the house wi-fi among the listings and was prompted to enter the WEP security code. Gear wheel just keeps on turning and a connection is never established. I have tried this 4 times with the same results. A desktop computer is connected and I easily connected a Macbook without any issues. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try Settings, select the network name, click on the blue arrow to Forget This Network and try signing in again.
