IPad 1 woes

I reset and gave my mom my iPad 1. Then while showing her how to use it tried to download the weather channel app. It requires ios 6. So how do I get a previous version that works under ios 5? Thanks!

Wow, that's news to me. I was always under the impression that once an app was updated, the older iOS version was removed. I am using the iPad 3 running iOS 6, and when I search the App Store, it only shows me the iOS 6 compatible version.
Perhaps they release updates for older iOS versions but they only offer the newest versions for download in the App Store?
I just found this discussion when I Googled "weather channel app for iOS 5". I guess we spend a fair amount of time on the ASC.

IPad 3rd Gen charging woes

I have an iPad (3rd gen) 64GB (WIFI +4G) and been having following prob from day 1.
When I plug my new iPad into power to charge it, because it's getting low on battery, I continue to use while it's charging. I notice that the battery percentage indicator keeps dropping instead of slowly rising like my iPad 2 did. The battery keeps dropping while plugged into power until it powers off completely. This is crazy.
I could use my ipad2 indefinitely if it was plugged into power. Now, I can't use my new iPad with it plugged in before it runs out of power!
When I leave it overnight to charge, I have noticed that it stops charging by itself around 70 or 50%. Shows not charging when I pick it up in the morning.
Iam an ardent user of apple products and am disappointed by these charging woes. Maybe u guys need to provide us with a higher capacity charger than the 10W one.

The quickest way (and really the only 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). 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.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

IPad Air woes

So...I bought an iPad Air in November and for the first time, I'm not so sure I bought the right tablet (and I'm a diehard Apple guy).
This unit has a small blemish under the glass that I occasionally see and annoys me. The rocker switch, set to lock/unlock rotation, is a tad loose; if I push on it a little (push in) it will switch between locked and unlocked. These may be just me being picky, but the iOS issues I'm experiencing are driving my real concerns here. I'm running the latest iOS and I see occasional "resets" when using Safari and Mail; also, Safari sometimes just closes while I am viewing a site.
I've read elsewhere that iOS7 isn't as great as we all had hoped (seems like there have been a lot of complaints), so I've been holding off on returning the unit to Apple. Is anyone else experiencing regular issues with the OS or default tools (like Safari and Mail)? I'm wondering if I have a hardware issue or a software issue at this point.

Have you backed up your device to iCloud or iTunes? If so it may well be worth going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content And Settings and instead of using the Restore option setup as a new iPad. Once done just try browsing some pages in Safari and seeing how you go, if all ok, try setting up your mail etc and seeing how that goes.
If all appears to be working okay, you can try restoring, simply repeat the steps above but choose the restore option this time around. If you find issues are back once you've restored then the issue is likely to be 'contained' within your backup and you will either need to start thing from scratch which is a pain, but at least you will have narrowed down the issue somewhat.

Multiple iPad mirroring woes

Hello,
We have multiple AppleTVs in classrooms throughout school, with teachers mirroring their iPads to them.
Teachers report that the mirroring is very inconsistent and it drops very frequently, forcing them to reconnect constantly and it is becoming a real obstacle to using their iPad.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be the cause?
Thank you in advance,
JEB

Returned 3rd iPad to the store for display woes. QA with Apple?

I bought two 64g 3g black iPads with apple on launch day. In fact I was the first one in the store. One had hair under the glass, backlight bleeding, and bad pixels. The other had bad pixels scattered and a little back light bleeding. Was going to get them switched the next day and the store said they had them and then didn't so I returned the two.
Yesterday, I picked up two new units that were on hold and one had a few dust things under the glass but neither had pixel issues. But the two units both have really really bad backlight bleeding around 3 of the 4 edges. I have heard this is the glue drying, but my first gen. iPad 1 of the same spec is what I would define as perfect. Is there any truth that anyone has seen with the backlight bleeding going away or dissipating over the last week?
The store is friendly about the issues, but to wait 13 hours, make multiple and unnecessary trips is very frustrating. I simply wonder what happened to quality control. Almost as if Apple decided to throw it out the window in favor of getting enough units out.
Any thoughts or suggestions on if this bleeding will go away? I really would hate to have to return the 4th one when I intended to buy two and so far only one of four has been mediocre versus the rest being unacceptable.

I also bought an iPad 3 64G and had to return it due to light bleeding. The second replacement again had the same issue. I returned it to the apple store but before accepting the 3rd replacement I asked to check for light bleeding and discovered it had the same issue. The apple representative opened a 4th iPad and surprise surprise! the same issue. At this point they had ran out of stock so sent me the a different store. I was unable to check the 5th ipad at the store so took it home but again the same issue. I call apple support and a 6th iPad will be posted out to me once I return the 5th. Apple had no issued changing the devices and I can't fault the apple representatives who helped me but considering the ipad 3 is all about the screen, Apple obviously have a quality issue with the optical system and need to address it ASAP. It shouldn't be quantity rather than quality!!!!

I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

How to Restore a Lost iPad (iPhone) without Wiping !!

This is not question. This is a solution.
I lost my iPad, it was found, and I thought it would be wiped as soon as I turned it on and it found iTunes.
But here's what I found, contrary to the what the 'Genius Desk' told me at the Apple store.
If you go out to iTunes with another device, log in, and delete the 'found' device from the 'Find My Phone' list, BEFORE power up of the lost device, it should work without being wiped. Typically, you have your iPad setup for only your own routers, so don't power it up in their presence. And just to be safe, don't power up near 'public' WiFi either. Until you get into 'Settings' and turn off WiFi on the lost iPad (or iPhone), you are in jeopardy of it being auto wiped.
And as Paul Harvey said: "And now... the rest of the story." (You can skip the next part if you are an impertinent person with no regard for a classic tale.)
I lost my iPad 3 at the Denver airport in December's mad rush. My fault, nobody else's; I was furious with myself.
I submitted my claim at the airport lost and found, believing I would never see it again. (BTW, save yourself the trouble and use their online site.)
A friend of mine told me about 'Find My Phone', which also works for iPads. We logged onto iTunes, on his iPhone, with my password, and I was able see the name I had given my lost iPad. I told 'Find My Phone' to wipe my iPad and display my cell phone number on the screen, just in case someone "honest" found my iPad. I knew I had locked my iPad but I decided this was safest. They can always wipe it, but iTunes will never allow it's use, due to the original owner's serial number on file. It becomes a 'brick'.
Segue, 2 months later.
I bought a new Air 2 because I need an iPad to run ForeFlight, a pilot program for navigation in small aircraft. One week later, I get an email from Apple, telling me to contact law enforcement at the airport (Lost and Found), and they even gave me the contact phone number to call. Sure enough, the airport found my iPad. The way I figure it, someone turned it in probably the day I lost it, and it took 2 months for Denver Airport to process the "mountains" of stuff they have turned in by travelers over the holidays. I was just happy I have it back. I took it directly to the Apple store to see if they could turn off the 'wiping' procedure and restore my old iPad. Nope! No can do! Once you tell it to wipe, through "Find My Phone", it's a done deal. Then I remembered something...
I had not set up Find My Phone on my old iPad, at least as far as I could remember. Maybe, just maybe, there was a way around this. Well... I found it.
I was told that if my iPad connected to WiFi, even it it were publicly open, it would connect to iTunes and automatically start the wiping process. Well, maybe.
Fortunately for me, Denver Airport Lost and Found had powered up my iPad, saw that it was passworded, hit the off button (so they thought) and instantly called Apple with the serial number on the back. That is what prompted Apple to email me. Thank you Apple! Actually, they had put it to sleep, not turning it OFF. Over 2 months, the battery went dead, a good thing.
When I got it home, I began to think about the power up sequence. This iPad had been setup to instantly connect to my home router. If I charged it, and it connected, I feared it might started wiping, so I devised a plan. Worst came to worst, it would wipe and I'd start over. Here's what actually happened.
I live far enough from town, that only a few WiFi routers exist nearby, and they are all encrypted. So, I turned off my router and let my iPad charge, just in case it tried to connect when it had enough charge to come out of deep sleep. Within about an hour, it was up and running again. I went into the settings and turned off the WiFi. Then, I turned my router back on. This allowed me to use my new Air2 to go out to iTunes and list all devices on Find My Phone. Lo, and behold, there was a list with my old iPad and my new Air2. I removed the old iPad from the list. Voila! It was gone! Just to be sure, I copied any configuration I wanted onto my new iPad from my old iPad, manually. (This was more of a science experiment, so I was motivated to see if this worked. It's a geek thing.) When I was finished and ready, I re-enabled the WiFi on the old iPad. Sure enough, it connected instantly to my router, and nothing happened. The only thing it needed was 138 email updates, a few other things, and of course, an iOS update, performing flawlessly. My old iPad was back to normal. No wipe and just like I left it. There ya have it. A way out.
BTW, when I walked into the Apple store in Boulder, Colorado, they were all amazed that the Apple process had worked and I got my iPad back. Remember, I had been in there a week earlier and bought a new one, telling them my woes. That's when they told me it would be wiped, if ever found.
And what will I do with two iPads? You guessed, sweetie wumpums gets the other one.

Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 5 very closely.

This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes. I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever. My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems. I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions. So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme? I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did. Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems? I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

Local preview works fine - broken/erratic on iPad(through cloud to device)

Hello.
I have a Folio which was working just fine in Local mode. Having moved it to the cloud and downloaded it to iPad, functions are either broken or irratic.
This was orginally built over the last few days and was updated in the last 24 hours - then the woes started.
I've noted various comments about recent Folio Builder troubles and have v7.0.5.17 on CS5 with whatever the latest Adobe Content viewer is (installed yesterday). Mac is 10.7.2.
I deleted the Folio from the cloud this morning and largely remade the articles' enhancements from scratch, re-uploaded and then to back to iPad - yet no joy.
I know there's not much to go on here, but if you feel you can assist, then ask the questions and I'll answer then as best I can.
many thanks

Thanks Bas...
I tried an new user and this time it said that I didn't have a compatible version of Producer Tools! Most odd... given that there's no complaint with the original user... Howver, the little link to go get them refused to work.
So I followed the instructions for removal of these tools and tried again - no joy at all!
Un-installed CS completely and removed any vestiages of Adobe files, folders, prefs (but not user prefs) etc
Rebooted and re-installed and patched CS5.
Added Folio Producer 1.7.0 and then Folio Panel 1.1.7.2.
Deleted Folio from Cloud an re-added - I know it's wrong because it should be at least 140MB and it's only 11Mb when on iPad - and buttons/overlays etc as they were before all this started.
So; after all that no joy with either original or new user.
Can someone kindly confirm the versions I should have for CS5 please - that would be a start.
Many thanks

Does iPad 2 WiFi /3G (AT&T or Verizon) have a sim card slot?

I wonder if iPad 2 WiFi/3G (AT&T or Verizon) has a sim card slot?
As already i have my sim card that i use in my current ipad WiFi/3G & would like to transfer it to the new iPad 2 WiFi/3G (AT&T or Verizon).

I've been having the same yet different issues... I can connect to WiFi at home no problem but I come to work and the iPad 2 can see the WiFi connect but only get the IP address and subnet, nver the router or DNS require to get on line. I have a iPad 1 andhad the same issues but the last iOS update fixed that issue but when I got the iPad 2 same issues arose. I tried for a couple of days getting on work WiFI (WEP encryption for quest/employee web access) and I noticed I had my iPad bluetooth active, no connected. I turned it off and immediiately got online. I doubt most users are having the EXACT same problem as me but this was a very simple solution that fixed my WiFi woes.
Cheers!

More iOS5/Mac ical duplication/deletion woes

More iCal duplication/deletion woes.
The Product list won't let me check more than one product, so here's a summary: MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6.8); iPhone 4S (iOS 5); iPad 2 (iOS 5)
As it stands at the moment, my iPad has three copies of everything*; the iPhone some of some stuff and none of others; and the Mac, my mainstay, is missing almost everything.
I turned on iCloud on the phone and pad. They synched and immediatly duplicated stuff. When I hooked either of them to the Mac, it added that calendar.
I turned iCloud off.
Then there followed several attempts to delete all on the phone and retrieve from the Mac, but it keeps erasing the events on the Mac.
I'm usually very good at troubleshooting these kinds of things, but I cannot figure out what the iPhone is picking up or not picking up, and which calendar takes precedence for any one event. It's completely confusing.
The last thing I tried was deleting anything that had duplicates on the iPhone, double-checking to make sure the original event was on the Mac, then syncing the phone. It promptly erased all my original events on the Mac.
I'm afraid to delete the iCloud account because it might erase the iPad, and it has the last remaining threads of my original calendar.
What gives, Apple? We're not used to this level of Microsoftian cruft!

All gone. Every single event from the past 10 years, vanished. And I don't know why.

Is there a way of getting a "schedule view" in iCal on a mac and on iPad in the same way you can get one on iPhone?

IS there a way to get a schedule view of events on a busy day in iCal on the iPad 2 Air and on the Macbook Pro? I can get this view on an iPhone.

I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks) or share some of my personal information (scanned copies of my birth certificate, passport, certificates, photos, etc.) on the web.
If you put your info into the computer and hand it to another, you have to assume they will copy everything.
Why are you putting scanned copies of valuable identity information into a computer than can be hacked, stolen, lost or compromised by a dirty tech?
Have you lost your mind?
Is there a way of finding out what activity has taken place whilst they've had it in their possession?
No. The tech would just deny it if he did, or tell the truth which the answer would be "NO" in either case.
The employer won't ask that sort of questions without solid proof, less they make a enemy of the employee and/or risk being sued for defamation of character.
It's not like they bother to have a team of people watching over his shoulder that he doesn't stick a USB thumb drive of your data into his pocket to take home.
I am paranoid that some untrusted technician is going to make a copy of my music (11,000 tracks)
If it's iTunes music, it has your personal ID embedded into the song files. Most IT techs know this though.
I appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
Too late now, all you can do is not worry about it.
Take your personal info out of the machine and if you need it, burn cd/dvd copies, a few USB thumb drives, Iron Keys or self encrypting external storage drives with key and/or keypad.

How can a family share an iPad, specifically, using email? Seperate account

I know, you can have multiple email accounts. i have 3 on my iphone 4. But if my wife, daughter, and I all use the ipad. Can you set up email to ask for what account to load?
Again, i know you can switch after the fact. I am trying to avoid the scenario where I may see my daughter email, or my wife may see mine. Not that we have anything to hide. But if i order flowers or something, i wouldn't want here to inadvertently see the conf email because ipad defaulted to my account.

Perhaps consider setting your family up with Gmail accounts. Gmail (Google's email service, even though you probably already knew that) is totally free and has an awesome web interface, especially on the iPad. Then each member of your family could log in/out of their Gmail accounts using mobile Safari.

How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device. I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail. Thanks for your help.

Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
mail apps that allow passcode protection.
Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
not know the details to login.
