IPad 2 region issues

Hey there,
Can anyone help me with how I can solve my issues with "region?
I live in Manila and bought iPad 2 in Manila. I apparently gave my Manila billing address and credit card details.
Problem is I can't get any good books from iBooks or no good magazines... It always says that it's not available in Philippines store.
Can I change the region to be Thailand or India?
Cheers
Sam

The terms of use of the stores state that in order to use a country's store you need to have an address in that country, actually be in that country, and if using a credit card then that also needs to be registered in that country - so if you live and are currently in the Philippines then you can only use that store.
In terms of books are there other ebook purchase download sites which have their own apps for the iPad that you could use ? The iBooks app will also accept DRM-free epub books from other sites.

    On some apps I made, some videos work, some don't. And

  • IMessage not working on 5S and iPad Air issues

    iMessage not working on 5S. Had 3 online chats with apple support but still not fixed. iPad air issues also; safari shuts down a lot on mine and my husbands iMessage not working. iMessage works on his 5S. Never had so many issues with Apple before. I receive SMS messages on 5S but no iMessage. It was suggested to me that I get a new sim or try another wifi, both seem odd given everything else works.
    My husband and I got our phones the same day, his works right, mine doesn't.
    iPad airs were purchased a month apart, mine works ok apart from safari shutdowns and his iMessage not working.
    Also the slider to answer calls on both phones not always working. Had to reboot one of them and it forced us to set it up again from scratch.
    Any ideas?

    restore from backup or restore as new.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • IPad connectivety issues

    I have an iPad 2 using 6.1.3 and the Wifi connection within my house outside the room with router is really weak.
    I notice when I go to public WIfi locations, I have weak or no signal.

  • Destiny expansion region issue

    I'm from South Africa and I bought the expansion pass from the play station store and it isn't working on my copy of original Destiny which I have seen in the forums as a region issue with dlc where the original copy and ps store needs to match. Now my question is that I assume I'm running on eu servers for psn but how do I tell what the original games region is? On the back cover it says all regions so I'm so confused any help would be appreciated because I really want to play the expansions especially as I have paid for it

    Look for the product code on the game disc CUSA XXXX, then Google it 

  • AIR + iPad retina issue

    Will the air to iPad retina issue be fix in the flas pro cs6?

    Hi guys,
    1) I'm currently running a trial copy of CS6, Air 3.2, and I get 'App descriptor cannot parse file' error whenever I try to modify the xml file.
    I'm just trying to remove the icon shine, which worked fine in Flash 5.5.
    <key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key><true/>]]>
    Also, I tried inserting the 144x144 icon, which published ok, but didn't seem to work. And that line of code later disappeared from
    the xml.
    2) My mac is Snow Leopard, so I take it I have to upgrade to Lion (do I have to buy it, or is it free to developers?!)
    If I then get the latest XCode, and target ios 5.1 with Retina display, will my apps still be compatible on devices with iOS 4?
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Freezing discs and region issues

    Hi,
    Creating Wedding vids in FCP6, using compressor to make M2v's on dual layer discs (imation).
    Using DVDsp4.2 to make the discs. Clients all happy, but I've had two clients come back to me 10-12 months later saying their discs are freezing in the middle / latter parts, they can't fast forward or skip chapters, etc. They aren't scratched, they were encoded as best encode 150 minutes 2 pass.
    Any suggestions greatly accepted. Also, I've selected all regions in DVDsp, but stuff I send to the UK won't play there.

    Welcome to the Boards
    Freezes and stalls can often be due to high bandwidth or bad burns/bad media. Verbtaim DL is usually what I use (and so do others around here). If the DVDs were playing and then developed an issue it could still be bad media/dirt/scratches even if the scratches are not seen. When was the layer break in the project, is it right at the spot where it is freezing? I know you mentioned middle, but the break may not be there...
    Note that if the video track is long (3 hours 10 minutes or so) a couple of players can act strangely.
    Media info here
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm
    As to the Region issue are they getting a Region Warning or a PAL/NTSC warning, it would probably be the later I would guess...

  • IPad mini region issues?

    Yo,
    I have been searching for this and I only found question about this of years ago, so I decided to make a discussion about it. I am going on vacation to USA and I'm planning to buy an iPad mini there.
    I got a few wuestions:
    1. I live in Europe. Is it possible to setup the device in my language (dutch)?
    2. Can I download apps directly to my iPad?
    3. If so, can I get access to the Dutch apple store? (I think so cause I can access American app stores too)
    4. Can I download any european/dutch apps?
    5. Aside from not being able to register my iPad, will tuere be any other issues?
    Thanks :)

    Here are some answers I hope may help you for some of your questions:
    1) When you first purchase a device it will have you go through a set-up assistant. One of the first questions will ask you what language you would like for your iPad; you would be able to select dutch as language.
    2)Yes you can download app directly through your iPad on the App store that comes pre-installed on the device.
    3)To access Dutch app store you will want to change your account settings and change the region. To do this:
    Tap Settings on the Home screen.
    Tap iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap on your Apple ID. (If you are not signed in, enter your Apple ID and password, and tap Sign In.)
    Tap View Apple ID.
    Enter your Apple ID password.
    Once signed in it will allow you to choose different regions.
    4) You can now download european/dutch apps as long as you have changed the region on your apple ID.  **Note: some apps are only offered in specific regions**

  • HP LaserJet CP 1525nw and iPad 3 Issue

    My iPad is not recognizing the printer. I updated the printer's firmware and the iPad recognized and printed to it once, and not again since. My iPhone prints every time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi there recon_medic, welcome to the forums!

  • More Aperture/iPad syncing issues

    Each time I create a new project or album in Aperture, I have trouble getting the images to the iPad when I sync. I sometimes need to sync several times until the images are recognized and imported to iPad. I do have the albums designated manually, rather than all, which means I have to sync and then sync again after I check the checkbox for the new album. I understand that, but sometimes I have to go back into Aperture to make sure the previews are updated. If I choose to update the previews for a project, Aperture will usually tell me that they're already up to date, but often they will not show up on the iPad, even after I check the appropriate box for the album in iTunes. Sometimes I get good results if I delete the previews and regenerate them in Aperture.
    The second problem is the sort order. Even if I have "sort by filename" selected in Aperture, they do not show up in this order on the iPad--despite what the support article says about this. They appear to only show up in Date order. I've tried repeatedly resetting the sort order, but it does not change on the iPad. Sometimes I have to delete the album from the iPad, (uncheck the album in iTunes and sync again), then recheck it and sync yet another time. This does not always work, however.
    It is very frustrating. The interface between Aperture and the iPad is very wonky. I often have to sync repeatedly, just to get the photos on the iPad and even then they're usually in the wrong order.
    Aperture appears to have two types of previews: "previews" and "sharing previews," but "sharing previews" don't seem to appear in the documentation. I've noticed that, even when Aperture says the previews are up to date, when I exit the program, it will sometimes (but, maddeningly, not always), give the message, "updating sharing previews" before quitting. I cannot figure out how to force this, however. Sometimes opening and closing Aperture several times will cause it to do this, but I can't be sure.
    iTunes seems to have its own process in which it "optimizes" images for importing to the iPad. Like Aperture's mysterious "sharing previews," "optimizing" does not show up in the iTunes documentation or help files.
    This process either needs to be improved, or at least documented so users can understand how to avoid these problems.

    1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
    2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
    3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
    Hope this helps

  • IPad connection issue after iOS 8 upgrade

    I Have an iPad 3G - WiFi-  and recently upgraded to IOS 8.  Every since connection bounces from 3G to  "no service" (AT&T provider).  I have been able to get reconnected only by choosing "Reset Settings".  I previously powered off and restarted with no resolution.   Found article that mentioned this same issue but said it only was issue in iphone 6.  Anyone else have a similar experience or easier solution?   I rely on iPad for work and really need a solution that doesn't involve frequent resets....
    Message was edited by: Raven72songs

    I have been to Apple store twice now on this issue. We have tried all of the above suggestions-- restore, network reset, re-installing SIM card-- and the problem always returns. The Genius Bar tech told me the IOS update brought out a latent problem hidden in the firmware -- in other words, it is a problem caused by Apple, but not everyone experiences this problem. The tech also told me there was nothing more that could be done, short of buying a new ipad. I asked about going back to the earlier IOS version but she said Apple will not allow that at this point. So it sounds to me like a "forced obsolescence" thing that Apple has inflicted on me: they admit their update brought out a problem, previously unmanifested, which had always been lurking in their firmware-- but their solution is that I need to ditch my ipad 2 and buy a new ipad. I never had this type of issue before the upgrade. the problem is more of a nuisance/inconvenience than anything else, because it can be rectified by powering down every few hours, so it's not worth it to me to spend hundreds on a new ipad. And anyway if this is an example of their customer service I'm not sure I will stay with Apple when it finally is time to buy a new tablet.

  • Jabber for IPad Directory Issue

    Guys,
    I'm been beating my head against this issue for the last couple of days and I think a new idea would be extremely helpful!
    Problem: No Corporate Directory being shown at all.
    Jabber for IPad client Version 9.1
    CUCM 8.5
    CUP 8.6(3)
    Microsoft AD Environment
    Every single other client I have can access the corp directory (Android, Windows, CUPC)  and I'm getting Presence and Contact list on the jabber for ipad client. Can anyone maybe post a screenshot of the product specific device fields or offer a sugestion? I've followed the Admin guide, but have obviously missed something :/
    Gareth

    Hi Gareth,
    I noticed this too.  It depends on where you are searching from within the client. 
    If you are logged into the Presence Client - then your search is from the ldap profile assigned on CUPS to the end user.
    If you are searching from within the CUCM portion of the client it uses the product specific section of the TABXXX client on CUCM
    LDAP Server           FQDN.domain:389
    LDAP Username     i have used the same one as for my LDAP directory Distinguisged Name\domain(without the ".local")
    LDAP Search base     DC=xxxx,DC=local
    LDAP field Mappings      mainPhoneNumber=ipPhone
    we also have in the
    "reserved" field the domain  domain=xxxx.local
    hope this helps
