IOS 7 on my 4th gen IPad froze during update.

I was asked after the reboot during the install if I would like to add security questions. I chose not now and hit next, nothing. IPad not responding to touch, home button just gives me a pop up that says IPad is not upgraded. Power button dross nothing as well.
I'm in limbo as I can't revert, or continue. Please help!

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Trying to decide on ios 7 upgrade on 4th gen ipad

After reading about the numerous problems ios7 was causing, I decided to hold off on the upgrade. However, a lot of the people that seemed to be having issues were using older versions of the iphone or ipad. I have an ipad 4th generation. Has anyone with a third or 4th gen had any problems with ios7?
If I forego this upgrade, will I be able to download future versions of ios?

People don't generally come to tech support forums to talk about how well their iPads are working. That means you're far more likely to read about people having problems here then about people who aren't. The vast majority of people using iOS 7 are having no problems with it.
I have been using iOS 7 on my iPad 3 since iOS 7 was released. Not a single problem. That being said, you should spend some time checking out an iPad running the new software as it is quite different looking. Some people don't care for it. Once you upgrade, there is no going back.
Best of luck.

IPad froze during update

My ipad froze while updating cant turn off, any suggestions

my ipad froze during update. cant turn off. any suggestions?

If you're sure that the update isn't still happening then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
In the meantime, 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.)

Why can't I delete my mail folders on my 4th gen ipad like I could on my 3 gen ipad?

Why can't I delete the old mail messages on this 4th gen ipad. I could do it on my old 3rd gen ipad

Hi joyceannlake1960,
In the iPad User Guide there are a few good pages that may help get you acquainted with deleting mail messages:

Page 44 has some good info on the layout of the buttons and what they do:

My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install. Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

TS3988 I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD

I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD.

Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on. Then see if you can access Settings.

Connect a 4th gen iPad via tether?

I ordered a 4th gen iPad today (for work, wifi only) and I already have a 1st gen iPad at home.
I use a late 2012 Mac-Mini at work and we do have wifi. However, where I am in the building there is no wifi due to the building itself (old TV station).
I was wondering if it is possible to have the iPad connected directly to the mini and still be able to use internet features with no wifi.
Basically, tethering the iPad to the mini will the USB cable be able to use the mini's internet? Is that possible?
Or I guess instead just use a Airport Express and use it that way in my office?
Thoughts? Thanks.

I only want to connect the new iPad since I would be at work. Sorry if that was confusing. The mini refers to a Mac-Mini not a iPad mini.
So can you connect a iPad with no internet due to no wifi signal to a Mac-Mini using the USB cable and use that to access the internet through the Mac-Mini?]
No.
However, you can use the Mac mini, connected to the internet via ethernet cable, and create a wifi network to share with the iPad. You are using the Mac mini to create a wifi hotspot.
See this -> OS X Mountain Lion: Share your Internet connection

Will the iPod 4th gen receive any further updates since it cannot have IOS 7.

Will the iPod 4th gen receive any further updates since it cannot have IOS 7.
Just to keep the existing software updated and running correctly without crashing.
My concern now is that as new games/apps come out i am going to get a lot more NOT SUPPORTED messages popping up.
Frankly I don't think it's fair as I spent a lot of money on my 32gb iPod and apple are now conning existing customers to line their pockets !!!!

I would not expect any more update for an iOS compatible with the 4G iPod.

HT5457 iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

iPad 1 is a lot newer than iPhone 3GS. It has the A4 chip! Why no IOS 6 for the 1st gen. iPad?

quite surprised it suggests that iPhone 3gs s more powerful than the iPad1? iphone 3gs is supported. something is fishy. i don't want to fall out of love with apple products. looks like it's a business decision to cut support for iPad 1 - not technical shortcoming. if apple cut support for 3gs they will upset customers who just bought 3gs before iphone 5 was launched.... tsk tsk tsk.. i'm not from US. hope to see a class action suit by US peeps to resolve this...

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music. Where did it go?

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!

I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1. My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud). The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs). Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....
