I have just got my iPad2 and am very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge.  Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all before I plug in to recharge or would this complete drain be bad for my iPad?

It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • I just got my Ipad2 and have my email accounts set up.  When I go to the folder icon at the top of the page and click on Sent Items they disappear to somewhere.  How do you look at your sent items?

    I just got my Ipad2 and have my email accounts set up.  I have sent messages but when I go to the folder icon at the top right of the page and tap on SENT emails it makes the inbox email on the screen disappear.  How do you check your sent emails?  Thanks for your help.

    You can send over WiFi, but it sounds as if you need to setup your Gmail account, or did you do this already?

    You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.

  • HT1414 i have just upgraded to iOS7 and when pdating my apps some have not saved data and others have. Why would this be and how do I get the data back?

    I have just upgraded to iOS7 and when I open my apps some have data saved and some (Eden, Survivalcraft) do not. My son is distraught that all his hard work has gone so does anyone know why this would be and how do I fix it please?

    Nevermind.  Problem solved.  They were there.  I just couldn't see them.

  • HT1152 Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac with mountain lion. We had a G5 that was irreparable. Now we are looking to see where we can put in our cd's as we just popped them into the side on the G5 but no joy here !

    Hi, we have just got our new replacement desktop mac mountain lion osx 10.8.2,  as the G5 was irrepairable. Now we can't find where to put our discs ?!? Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?

    Have they now done away with being able to burn discs and put software discs in now and just rely on downloads ?
    Yes. There is no Superdrive. You cannot play DVDs or CDs.
    You will need to buy an external DVD player/burner. Almost all will do the job, just make sure you can connect it, as your iMac does not have Firewire or USB2 (USB3 is backwards compatible).
    Or there is of course the expensive one from Apple.

  • I have just got an iPad2. I hook it up to iTunes to sync but everything I buy on it is now autmatically going onto my iphone 4S the next time I sync that??? I do not want this! How do I stop it?

    I have 4 devices on my iTunes account which all have different names or ID's. An iPad 2 which I just got at Xmas, my iPhone 4S, my wifes iPhone 4 and my daughters iPod. I always hook up to iTunes via a cable/dock when syncing them all separetly. Since buying the iPad 2 every app that I have downloaded on it seems to be going over onto my iPhone 4S when I next sync it after I have synced the iPad 2 to iTunes??? I do not want anything that is on the iPad 2 automatically going onto my phone the next time I sync. How do I stop this happening?
    Can anyone help???
    Thanks in advance!

    On the iPhone, go into Settings -> Store and turn off "Automatic Downloads" for Apps (and Music and Books, if you wish). You can also do that on the iPad to prevent it from going in the opposite direction.
    That will stop any automatic downloading... to prevent them from coming over when using iTunes, select the phone (under Devices), Apps, and then uncheck "Automatically sync new apps." Again, do the same for the iPad if you wish.

  • I have just bought an ipad2 and was told that I could transfer all my saved photos from an old computer that I didn't want to synch with and then delete the ones I didn't want later. I can't do this without synching. How do I do this?

    I bought an ipod2 yesterday and all the photos were from an old computer (that I don't want to synch with) were transferred in the store without synching with it. I was told I could delete any I didn't want later but now find I can't delete any without synching through itunes which I don't want to do as I want to synch with a different computer. Is there a way I can just delete them all before I go and buy any apps etc or just restore to the shop settings and start again with a more selective upload as I now have over 8000 photos clogging up the memory when I only need about 1000.
    Would really appreciate some advice

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • So many issues - family of 5, i am using my wifes apple id on my iPhone, my daughter is using my apple id on touch, i need to get all iTunes content off an old PC onto new imac and i just got iphone 5 and want to be able to have evreything work - help!

    5 plus years ago my wife had the only Apple ID and as a family we all used her Itunes account to buy and listen to music.  A couple years later, I (husband) bought my first iPhone - the only iDevice in the household.  When I set that iphone up, I used the wife's apple ID as I wanted access to all of the itunes music we had as a family.  So now years later, all of my Apps etc have been purchased via the Wife's Apple ID.  To make matters worse for my situation, my 10 yr old daughter got an iTouch for Christmas and i decided to use my actual (husband) Apple ID as daughter is a minor and I felt I could manage her iTouch Apps content that way.  We have just recently bought our first iMac and I had yet to understand or get to work the iCloud or the Home Sharing of iTunes.  To make matters worse, I have never synched my 3G iphone because of the whole Apple ID issue.  I should also mention that the primary 'authorized' computer for my wife's itunes account is an old PC that we almost never use anymore as it runs soooo slow.  So I am left to wonder how to go about making the transition to get the old PC 'deauthorized' after I somehow transfer all itunes files from the old PC to the new iMac.  I now have the new iPhone5 and i REALLY want to get to the point where i have my iphone on my apple id and my wife has her apple id (no iphone for her yet - probably coming soon though).  On the new iMac i have created a login for me and one for my wife.  I was able to login to itunes on her imac login and i was able to set up iCloud.  it works! - but now my calendar, contacts, photos, etc are on her profile login of the iMac!  HELP me PLEASE!!

    Your Apple ID should not be causing problems with your browser. If you describe the problems you are having we might be able to help with those.

  • Just got new ipad2 and can't connect to internet...recognizes wifi network but won't connect

    just got a new ipad2...recognizes wifi network at home, but can't connect to internet...help???

    I just had a similar problem.  Both the ipad 1 and ipad 2 in my household quit connecting to the network even though it seemed to recognize it.  if you think it is recognizing your network, just not connecting, check to see if bluetooth is turned on.  i had to turn bluetooth off and then manually enter the DNS number. 
    My solution also came after I re-started my network and reset all the settings on the ipad2.  The DNS number then showed along with IP submet Mask and router.  I used that dns number to enter into ipad1 after turning bluetooth off on it.
    Totally unscientific fix that may have been more coincidental than correct but you might try it.  BTW--no idea how bluetooth even got turned on to begin with.

  • HT4060 Hello, I just got an ipad2 and i hae gone through seven chargers. I don't know what the problem is, any suggestions

    I Got an ipad2 not to long ago an pd I have had to go through seven chargers already, can someon eplease explain why this keeps happening?

    Could be the device also may bear inspection and testing, in case
    that may need replacement; there is a chance it may contribute to
    the failure rate you have experienced among power supplies.
    If the electrical mains and plugs in the location the device is used
    are tested OK, and if you've tried using an automatic self-regulating
    uninterruptible power supply (with its own backup battery) to stop
    any effects of spike, surge, or quick fluctuation of voltage, the next
    item to look into may be to see if the device itself places undue load
    on the power supplies.
    Maybe you should ask about this aspect of your experience.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have had my mac-book pro for almost a year, and have just got OSX Mavericks, and now the sound on my laptop is working in a sporadic way, can I change this at all on system preferences or will I have to get it repaired?

    On my mac-book pro the sound isnt working after I have installed OSX Mavericks, should I take it to be repaired, or can I do something on System Preferences?

    In addition to checking system preferences/sound/output and selecting built in if that does not work, make sure volume is up and mute not checked.
    You can try the following, Take a set of headphones and plug theim in and out several times (there is a micro switch that sometimes gets stuck)
    Go to applications>utilities>Audio MIDI set up, see if you can select built in there, make sure volume is uo mute not checked.
    Try a NVRAM/PRAM reset:
    Power off, power back on holding the following keys   OPTION + COMMAND + P + R
    Continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times, then release,reboot

    You should copy your iTunes library from the older computer to your new laptop using one of the methods described in this Apple support document.

    Or if you would like you can use your iPod to move your iTunes library as well, assuming it's a model that supports Disk Mode (meaning it's not an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad).
