I guess not every iPad 3 is bad.

Right after I bought my iPad 3 I checked the online reviews about how hot it gets, the long charging time, bad wi-fi, etc.
I panicked a bit, and started testing on my own.
1. Heat: I used 100% brightness watched youtube for quite a while, then run a 3D racing game for 1 hour, half playing half idle.
End result: it is warmer than my iPad 2, but it's not that bad and I was able to put it against my cheek without discomfort.
2. Wi-fi: It does seems to drop, but mine is from 3 bars to 2 bars and the internet works fine. Also, I am able to get wifi further than 6 feet.
3. Charging time: From auto shutdown(0%) to 100% for me is 6 hours straight.
4. Battery Drain: 1 hour at 30% brightness with wifi, minimal browsing, non auto-lock used 5% of the battery power.
I just gotta say my iPad 3 is not bad right?

And neither is mine or for that matter more than 3 million of the new iPads that have been sold to date.
My new iPad behaves exactly how I was hoping and expecting that it would - to this point flawlessly and wonderfully. No heat issues, battery life is exactly like my iPad 1 and it takes no longer to charge either. And ... I can plug it in to recharge - use it - and the battery continues to charge while I am using it!!!!

  • Using notes on iPad: how do I prevent numbers from being displayed as phone numbers?

    Using notes on iPad how do I enter numbers such that notes thinks that they are just numbers, not phone numbers, links, or calendar events?
    Example:
    Enter the line "Number: 00012345678".  The number is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Send Message", "Add to Contacts", or "Copy".
    Enter the line "Numlet: 9H". The "9H" is highlighted in yellow, tap it and I get the options to "Create Event", "Show in Calendar", or "Copy".
    I don't think this is an iOS 7 problem.

    Personally, I think that an App like AirWatch would be overkill for the average home user and form the very little bit that I know about the app, it would not make sense from a money standpoint - IMO anyway. I don't use any third party app to manage devices.
    I manage four iDevices in my iTunes library on my MacBook Pro. All four devices are mine, but all of them have their own unique content on them so it does take a little bit of extra attention to detail when I sync and make changes to the sync configuration. And because I share my Apple ID with my wife and daughter (who each have their own MBP laptops) every now and then I inadvertently download a previously purchased app that I didn't want (I delete more Disney apps than you can shake a stick at) and I scratch my head trying to figure out where that app came from.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is, again IMO - that you can get the hang of keeping everything separate without the purchase of an enterprise app, you just have to be a little more aware of what you are syncing, and pay a little closer attention to what's going on.

  • Each time I connect my iPad to computer, the pop up screen on the computer will show another name not my iPad name. The name shown on iTunes in device are is my iPad name. How would I rename it? Please help!

    Gotcha, sorry, I'm guessing you are referring to Windows Autoplay.  This should do it:
    Type regedit into your search bar and bring up Registry editor. Go to the the very top with My Computer. Now go to Edit and Find. Type in the whole offending name that is bugging you, i.e. Soandso's iPhone and hit find. After it searches your registry and finds the first name select it and Edit the Name. I copy/pasted it for all the next steps. After you have found the first name don't stop there. Use F3 to find next Name in registry and So on and so fourth until you have replaced every offending name in your whole registry with the Name you want to show up i.e. Tom's iPhone or whatever? Repeat all of these steps if you have more than one name showing up in your devices? Worked 100% for me. Close regedit and reboot (very important for changes.) Plug your iPhone back in and enjoy all your names back to normal.

  • Sync notes from iPad to iPhone doesn't work.

    I have iPad 2 for about a year.  It has 14 Notes in it.  Yesterday I got an iPhone5 and everything sync'd EXCEPT Notes.
    Only 4 of the notes sync to iCloud and transferred to iPhone.  The others didn't.  I even modified every single note and tried again, only the 4 notes sync'd.
    In iPad Notes settings (and also on the Notes app) I discovered there is a "Default Account" and the 4 notes that sync to iCloud & iPhone have an account set to iCloud but the other notes that won't are all listed as "On My iPad".  I presume this is the source of my sync problem.
    There is no similar setting on the iPhone regarding a Default Account on the Notes app or settings for the Notes app.
    I see lots of discussion about Note sync problems but nothing specifically as I describe regarding changing the default acct.
    How do I fix this?  I tried setting Default acct iCloud, modifying the notes after this change but only the same 4 Notes sync to iCloud.
    Thanks, Jon

    For the record, I copied Notes that didn't sync into an email and sent to iPhone.  Copied notes from the emails into new note on iPhone.  then deleted Note from iPad that were in the "on my iPad" account and now they seem to sync ok.
    Fortunately I only had to do this for a few Notes.  This solution is a real kludge and with all the complaints from other users about syncing I am astonished Apple hasn't published a solution.

  • HT204150 My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else. But that only happens with my own card

    My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
    Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • ITunes intermittently not recognizing iPad Air

    I have both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air configured to sync over wi-fi whenever they are plugged in and iTunes is opened. iTunes always recognizes and syncs my iPhone when I lanch iTunes, but generally fails to recognize my iPad, although---and this is the aggravating part---not every time. I'm using OS X 10.9.1 and iTunes 11.1.3. I am unable to figure out why this happens. Even when I have my iPhone unplugged and my iPad plugged in it still finds my phone and not my tablet. Anyone else had this experience? If so, how to fix it?

    Always check to see if your iPad is in Airplane Mode!

  • Itunes not recognizing ipad

    itunes is not recognizing ipad or iphone--I recently upgraded to snow leapord

    Make sure that you install every update to Snow Leopard if you haven't done so already. Go to Software Update and see if there are more updates available.
    When I first updated my MacBook to SL from Leopard, I ran into the same situation. After I completely updated all the way to 10.6.8, then iTunes could see my iPad again.
    If you have updated all the way, quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart the iPad and then try again.

  • Wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad

    wirelessly iTunes see my iPhone, but not my iPad???

    You do NOT have to plug the iPad into a power source to sync with WiFi. I sync without plugging my iPad every day. Like Dah-veed, I do not auto sync. If you have all of the settings configured correctly, the iPad does not have to be plugged in to a power source to sync with WiFi.
    The iPad will sync AUTOMATICALLY, if the iPad is plugged into a power source and if iTunes is running on your computer. It does not have to be plugged in to sync manually.
    When is set up to sync wirelessly - I made the selections like Dah-veed indicated above and then I clicked on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes to lock in the setting. You have to apply the changes that you make in the iTunes sync process.
    BTW - I have the original iPad - not the iPad 2.

  • Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ?

    Full page prints from iPhone but not from iPad using photo app with AirPrint ? iPad only prints 4x6 on full size paper. It's an HP 8600.

    I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

    If you backed up the iPad after you created the notes, you can restore from the backup to retrieve them. If you didn't backup, the notes are gone.

  • I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    And I am very confused by your query. Your iTunes account is the same on all devices - unless of course you have multiple accounts to begin with.
    If you do have another Apple ID that you use for the iPad purchases, you can sign out of the account that is on the iPad in Settings>Store.
    Perhaps a few more details from you could clear up the confusion???

  • I cant conect to the Apps Store...I restored my settings and verified my account and password (I can log on any computer) just not my IPad.

    I restored my settings and verified my account and password (I can log on any computer) just not my IPad.
    When I touch on the App Store icon on the Home Screen the updates screen pops up with new updates. I touch on the update all, the Apple ID Password window pops up, when I enter my password (which works on my home computer) I get a pop up message that states "Cannot connect to iTunes Store OK
    I had no troubles until my daughter got a IPod and I set up a iTunes account off the home computer for her (she has her own sign on). I have reset the passwords and the restored the IPad. Any help would be appreciated.

  • I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore.

    I had purchased an audio book from itunes on my iPad and when I synced my iPad with my computer, my audiobook disappeared. I have already purchased this audiobook, so now I just need to know how to get it back because it is not on iPad anymore. I don't think the audiobook was backed up to icloud but I have the receipt to prove I purchased it. Is there anyway I can get it back?

    "If I purchase an audio book in iTunes on my iPad why can't I listen to it on my Mac? "
    You can.  Why do you think you cannot?
    If you purchased it on your ipad, then you would have to transfer it to your computer. File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    You can then listen to it on your computer.
