I just got a new iPad 3 and the touch screen drag and select feature has stopped working.

Now, in order to select, I have to click an icon or link (this brings up a box around the icon/link) then double tap to select it. Pretty sure it is a setting or feature I activated. Anybody know how to fix?

if it only happens on one specific video, has it occurred to you that the issue is very likely that video, not an issue with the iPad?
You might try using the YouTube app.

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • I just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why

    i just got a new ipad 2 and i can't buy stuff on it asks for security question when my apple id was right why

    It's a security feature that was brought in a few months ago - when you try to purchase something for the first time on a new computer or device then you will be asked for the answers to your questions (or to set them up if you haven't yet created them).

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • I just got a new iPad air and started the set-up process. Now, when I try to swipe the power down or power up icons, nothing happens. What do you suggest?

    I just got a new iPad air and started going through the set-up process. Now, I can't swipe to power down or power up. Advice?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Just got my new iPad Air and noticed that the screen calibration is off. For example if I select the circle to place something there I have to select outside of the circle to make it happen. I did not have this issue on my previous iPad.

    Try this  - 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.) No data/files will be erased.
    If no fix, Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • I just got a new ipad air, and it's tell me to connect to a network...I've chosen my network at home...it's asking for a password, and I've put the password in, but there isn't a button that allows me to hit enter and accept the password.

    You need 8 characters or more to connect.

  • Just got a new ipad air and followed set up. have got a load of somebody elses photos! How do i delete these?

    Just got a new ipad air. Followed set up instructions, but have a lot of somebody elses photos. How do I delete them please?

    If its a NEW iPad, there should be nothing on it.
    If you have photos from someone else, then its either a second hand iPad or possibly a Demo unit.
    In which case you should return it as you may run into activation lock on a used iPad, or restrictions placed on Demo units you may not be able to bypass.
    Whoever sold you this, did not sell you a new iPad.

  • TS4268 hi just setting up new ipad 2 and cant get imessage to work . when i put in apple id it says password incorrect have checked and reset but still wont work

    hi just setting up new ipad 2 but when trying to use imessage it says sign in with apple id which i do but password doesnt work. have checked it numerous times but no luck. any ideas ?

    The screen "Create Apple ID" is for users without an Apple ID (or someone who has forgotten their password).  Since you do not want to create a new Apple ID, you are on the wrong screen. 
    Go back to the Sign-In screen and then sign-in with your Apple ID (or start over).  The sign-in screen will have both fields to input:  Apple ID and then Password.  The Password screen may be a secondary screen after you input ID and hit Enter.
    Hopefully, your further forays into the Land of iPad will not be as disconcerting as your beginning.  I was also new to Apple (three years ago with the first iPad).  It was a bit aggravating at first, however, now we own multiple Apple computers, peripherals and IOS devices (iPads,iPhone,Apple TV) and really appreciate the functionality and usability.

  • New iPad tethered to iPhone 4 both on iOS 6, iMessage has stopped working.

    Since updating to iOS 6 on both devices, iMessage has stopped working on the iPad when tethered.
    It still works on the home wifi, but the progress bar goes to about 95% done before a send failure message comes up.
    I haven't found any other apps not working over the tethered 3G network
    iMessage is turned on and works elsewhere.

  • Hi i just got my new ipad today and it was on i don't why but its new and when i plug it into my computer at the top of the ipad says not charging how can i make it charge?

    new ipad won't charge but i can download everytthing but the top says not charging and its at 20%

    That is perfectly normal with the new iPad. Your USB port does not supply enough power to charge the iPad. This is copied from Apple's web site about the iPad battery.
    Charging Tips
    The quickest 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. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. 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.
    You can read the rest of it here.

  • I just got a new Ipod mini and it won't stop reformatting!

    I just got my Ipod mini, and put in the installation disc. I got to the screen where it says to connect your ipod (so i did) and to see if it needs reformatting. well, it did, so I am now waiting for it to stop reformatting so i can finished installing itunes and the rest. it has now been on the same screen for over an hour. is this normal? and if not, what should i do? should i "continue without connecting my ipod" as one checkbox asks?

    If you are stuck in the formatting/Restore process, click on the little 'x' in the top corner. It may take you to the next stage in the process. Sometimes it gets hung up.
    If this doesn’t work:
    - Shut down the computer
    - Disconnect the iPod
    - Restart the computer
    - Run the updater again
    - Connect the iPod when prompted.
    Post back with results, or a bit more detail on where you are in the process.

  • Just got a new replacement Iphone and my Itunes has died

    Iv just received a new replacement Iphone 4 with new Sim card, and I have plugged it into my laptop (running Windiows XP) to sync with my Itunes.
    I get a error window pop up saying "Itunes is not installed correctly, please reinstall Itunes Error 7 (windows error 127)"
    And when I open Itunes from my start bar it say " The procedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWith ByteStreamAndOptions could not be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF. dll."
    I haved tried to repair Itunes though control panel and Itunes in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer but does not seem to have helped.
    I dont want to remove the program because I worried I might lose all my telephone number and music off my Iphone backup
    can I take telephone numbers and apps from my old phone backup to put on my new phone even though Itunes isn't working or repairing and i have a new sim card?

    Music purchased from the iTuens store can be transferred using iTunes.  However, music from other sources can only be transferred from your phone using 3rd party software such as PhoneView (mac) or Touch Copy (pc or mac).  These articles will show you how to start syncing with your new computer with minimal or no data loss:
