I recently purchased an ipad2 and it will automatically turn off about every 3 hours or so and it is very hard to turn it back on... Any advice?

can anyone help?

Did you purchase new or used? Is it fully charged when this happens?
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • I recently purchased an iPad2 and can't synchronize it to iTunes.

    When I connect it to my PC (Windows 7, iTunes 10.3.1.55), I get a message stating that it could not read from my iPad2 and asking to restore it.
    I downloaded the most recent iTunes and restored the iPad over and over.
    After restoration, Ipad launches again, asks for iTunes connection.
    After connection, iTunes says it is synching. This step takes a long time (more than 10min) and nothing happens on iPad screen.
    After 10 min, progress bar disappear from iTunes and "Synchonizing" appears on iPad.
    I get a message stating that "iPad could not be synchronized. A folder was specified instead of a file".
    iTunes show that I have 4GB space on my iPad, although it should have 60GB.
    When I drag files from library to iPad (on iTunes), sync starts on PC, but nothing on iPad screen.
    I purchased my iPad in the US and I'm currently in Brazil.
    I took the SIM card away so it doesn't interfere in the process. It wouldn't work with AT&T SIM card either.
    I will appreciate any help.

    Sorry I am not a Windows user but I found this thread and it talks about updating USB drivers. Take a look.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

    My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem.  I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad.  I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync.  I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library.  How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

    Go back to her login.  Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers!  Then, you need to set up each iPad separately.  You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
    There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except...  Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them.  If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
    On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs.  Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in.  The device handles that.  All you need is the correct password.  In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

  • I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts.  I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine.  IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

    I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc.  I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine.  The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore.  Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad? 

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

    I recently purchased a copy of Lion, will I be eligible for a free upgrade of Mountain Lion?

    no, sorry.
    However, Lion has some great features in and of itself!
    you will have to purchase it for 20 dollars in the app store (USA price) to upgrade to ML, the redemption codes that you may be reacting to are for people who recently purchased a computer and were told that they would be able to receive a free download of ML when it is released to make sure their computers are up to date.
    This allows apple to release the hardware before the latest software, but still offer the latest software for free, because they're cool like that .
    I hope this helps

  • I recently purchased an iMac and used migration assistant to get all files from my emac, but now I have three user accounts.  I only want one (perhaps two) accounts.  I want all my music, photos and word docs from old computer in one user name

    I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant.  Now I have 3 users.  I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
    I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
    Thanks,

    In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
    When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
    Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp.

  • I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    I have recently purchased a CD and some tracks do not play the whole way through. Why?

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If you don't see them straight away it may help to close and restart iTunes.
    While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I recently purchased Apple TV and it worked right away with my three ipd minis my iPhone 5 and ipad . The next day I cannot get the airplay icon to show up on any thing? Any ideas

    I recently purchased Apple TV and the first day it worked great. The second day I can no longer get the airplay symbol on any of my devices?

    Airplay doesn't show up in control center on any of your devices?
    Have you tried restarting the devices by holding down the home and power button for about ten seconds. I would also try restarting your router/modem.

    It's a 64 bit and this is the message I keep getting when I try to install:
    *This installer does not support installation on a 64-bit windows operating
    system. If you are installing by browsing through the disk content then
    please run the setup.exe from the folder “Adobe Premiere Elements 12/PRE

    The Adobe folder on my computer has downloads for both 32 bit and 64 bit,
    both of which I tried...any suggestions?

    i recently purchased itunes match and it always pauses on my iphone 5 when i try to listen to my library    help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi mdr1976,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can use iTunes Match to access your entire iTunes library on your computer and iOS devices.
    You can access your iTunes library on your Apple TV using Home Sharing, which is why it only works when your MacBook is turned on.

  • I recently purchased a IP5 and found that the volume is lower by 20-30% compared to an IP 3/4s.........is possible? Apple has a solution?

    I recently purchased a IP5 and found that the volume is lower by 20-30% compared to an IP 3/4s.........is possible? Apple has a solution?

    Of course, this all began just about 2 weeks after my 3 years of AppleCare were up....
    Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275.  Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations.  Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.  See what they can do for you.
    GOOD LUCK!

  • I JUST PURCHASED A IPAD2 AND WANT TO PASS ON MY IPAD ORIGINAL. HOW DO I CLEAR IT BACK TO ORIGINAL STATUS.

    I JUST PURCHASED A IPAD2 AND WANT TO PASS ON MY IPAD ORGINAL.   I WANT TO CLEAR IT AND RETURN IT TO FACTORY SETTINGS.  THIS MUST BE DONE ON WINDOW 8.  IT HAS CHANGED TO MUCH TO UNDERSTAND.

    I assume that you've copied everything off it that you want ?
    You don't need to use your computer (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar that used to appear via control-S, that may make it easier to navigate). On your iPad tap on your id in Settings > Store and log out of your account, and then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings to remove all your content from it.
    For future info typing all in capitals is considered shouting, make the post difficult to read, and may mean that people don't reply.
