IPad 2 stuck in portrait, mute switch locks orientation and mutes at the same time.

Ok, since I've had the iPad this problem has gone from bad to worse. Originally my iPad would get stuck in an orientation for random period of time and then unfreeze. Hours or days I would never know. If it was in landscape and I needed it in portrait I could just reboot and it would revert to portrait but not the other way around. It's been struck for 3 or 4 days now in portrait and now a new bugmhas appeared. Setting the hardware button to mute works fine, but still the software orientation button is useless. Only now, if I switch then hardware button to orientation lock, it tells me I'm muted and I'm orientation locked at the same time. And the software button works for the mute now. Need help. Thanks.

In other words, can I have my screen rotate automatically as I hold my iPad in either portrait or landscape AND hear sounds from my apps at the same time?
Yes, you can. You can configure the Side Switch (above the volume button) either as Mute switch or Rotation lock.
Settings > General > Use Side Switch to: choose what you like the Side Switch to function as.

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

IPad turn on wifi and 3G at the same time

If my iPad turn on the wifi and 3G at the same time, which data will my device use? The wifi or the 3G?

Ie.. At home if your in settings, wifi, connected to your home wifi....3G will not be used. As soon as you leave your house(car etc) 3G takes over until your connected to another wifi hotspot. To keep your data usage down, turn off 3G when you don't want to use it, or limit use by checking for wifi if your going to be in a location for a while.

I have an iPad 2 (wifi 3G). Is it correct to use wifi and 3G at the same time ? Or one at time depending on connectivity? Thanks.

I have an iPad 2 (Wifi + 3G). Is it correct to use the Wifi and 3G at the same time, or one at a time, depending on connectivity? Thanks in advance.

Your iPad will use wifi first if available. If wifi is not available, it will use 3G.

Try to Reset your device:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

Has anyone used switch control and siri at the same time?

Using Xmarks and Sync simultaneously will create a mess.
You can create a new profile, import the bookmarks from your main profile, and set up Sync for the new profile.
The flip side is, bookmarks from your main profile would not get synced with your new profile.
Alternatively, Xmarks is also available for Android.

How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time?

How can I delete photos from my iPad, iPhone, and laptop at the same time so I don't have to do it separately on each device?

Photos that were synced from your computer using iTunes can only be deleted by de-selecting them from the folder from where they were synced - and then re-syncing.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
If you want to remove all of the Photos - uncheck the Sync Photos from Heading
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
If you are using iTunes 11 - this will be helpful, Setting up syncing in Windows.

How is it possible that the black ipad 2 64 gb is sold out in hole Sweden, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Boston and Memphis at the same time!?

Because Apple can't get enought of them made to cover the demand, obviously. The iPad has been extremely popular and would probably be in short supply in any case, but the various disasters that have struck portions of the supply chain can't have made things any easier.

Can my ipad use wifi and bluetooth at the same time?

Hi
I can stream radio via wifi radio apps and play through earphones. I can connect to my bluetooth speaker and play music stored on my ipad ok.
When I connect up to my bluetooth speaker and try to stream the radio app it plays for a couple of seconds then stops for 20 seconds then plays for 2 seconds and carries on start, stop, start (I guess it's buffering or something?).
Is it not possible to listen to a radio app and stream it to a bluetooth speaker at the same time?
Any suggestions welcome

Thanks for confirming it should work man.
A quick check of the talktalk forum and it's my talktalk D-link 2780 router. It's a known problem.
It all works ok on next doors router so Off to PC World for a decent router.
Thanks again.

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at the same time. Can it be done?

I have an Apple Ipad Air. I'm trying to use two bluetooth earphones at one time. Only one works at a time. Can two be used at the same time? If so how do I get them to work?

The likely reason no one can connect to the mini when it is connected to your work VPN has more to do with your work than your home set up. The administrator at work would have to decide to allow for "split-tunneling", thereby allowing your mac to be connected to work and the outside world simultaneously.

My ipod touch has an all white screen and i tried holding the home and lock button and it did the same thing?

My ipod touch has a white screen . so i followed most peoples suggestion on pressing the home and lock buttonat the same time til it turns back on and it still gave me a white screen no apple appeared.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPad 3 Mailboxes not showing even after syncing with iMac and switching on SSL and port readings the same; even tried rebuild. Switched iPad off, rebooted and discovered settings went back to preset?

Hi to all techies,
Ipad3 with new iMail does not show mailboxes. Have tried swithcing SSL on and making port same number 993 as imac; then telling imail in imac to synchronise but to no avail still no mailboxes appearing on ipad mail. My husbands new ipad air worked straight away same OS?

I'm sorry. I probably wasn't clear enough in my response. What I am saying is that one can create mailboxes in the Mac mail app and those mailboxes can be for local storage only - the "on my Mac" mailboxes. Those do sync to any other device. The ability to creat those mailboxes is a feature of the Mac mail app.
You cannot create additional mailboxes on the iPad unless your email account is an IMAP account. I am not familiar with BT internet at all so I don't know if you have IMAP or not. I assume that your husband has the same email provider and if his mailboxes did sync to the iPad, then yours should as well.
You can check to be sure if you don't know if your email account is an IMAP account. If you go to your email account in the iPad Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom. If an new mailbox appears, you have IMAP.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

Time Capsule - Can it run as DHCP router, create a wireless network and plug into switch for wired network all at the same time?

I have a closet with Wired connections from all over the house terminating in it. I also have the internet modem and a switch in this closet. My old setup was a netgear in the closet creating a wireless network and also feeding the Ethernet ports all over the house. In my room, I had an Airport express (a month old) bridging the wifi to make the wifi network larger. The Express was hard wired from the wall and my mac mini was using it's wifi (printer was plugged into other ethernet port). Everything was working great.
Fast forward to last week. My Netgear died. So, I bought a time capsule. My plan was to move the Express to the closet and have it create the wifi network and also then run cat 5 cord from express to the switch to feed all the wired wall plugs. Reset it and set it up to create the wifi network as well as DCHP NAT. Wireless was running great on it. Then I plugged in the Cat 5 in the second Ethernet Port to the switch. Wifi stopped working and none of the computers would connect using wired connections either. They would see a 'network' but nothing would work. I would unplug the Cat 5 feeding the swtich and the wireless would start working again. Plug the Cat 5 back in and wireless would stop.
So I thought I would try the Time Capsule in the closet and see if I could get it to work. Pretty much the same thing, except at this point I figured out if I went in and told it NOT to create a wifi network the wired portion worked fine and all the wired computers in the house worked fine. Of course, then I didn't have Wifi.
I'm not clueless when it comes to networking, but I can NOT figure this out! Can either the Time Capsule or Express Create the wifi network AND also feed the data to the switch for all the wired computers?
To simplify this is what I want my end result to be. I prefer the Time Capsule to be the wireless connection extender, but if I have to have the Express do it, I'm fine with that.
1. Express in the closet creating the wifi network as well as feeding the data to the wired connections via my switch.
2. have the Time capsule in my room at the opposite end of the house plugged into the hard wired connection to extend the wrieless network as well as have wired connections such as my printer and my Mac Mini.
If I can get #1 to work, I don't think I'll have any problems with #2. Help!

I have an equally complex setup with a managed switch actually but I have never seen the TC have this kind of issue.
What I do notice is you have changed the TC from defaults.. you are using a non-default IP range.
I have run across issues like this where people move things from default.
I would like you to start over.. factory reset the TC. That will set it back to default router mode.
Do the min setup on the TC..
1. Change all names from what you were using. That includes the TC name and wireless name/s
Make them short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric because that is the correct way to network. Apple default names with spaces and apostrophes are fundamentally bad.
2. With just the TC plugged into the switch.. and a single computer connected by ethernet. Power cycle the whole network.. this allows the switch to clear all the old MAC address.
3. Test on the computer just ethernet. Turn the wireless off.
The computer must use dhcp and must get an ip from the TC.
It has to get the correct Router.. ie Gateway.. I wish apple could stick with proper network terminology.
And it must get same address or valid DNS server address/es.
If it fails.. please plug ethernet directly to the TC.. bypassing the switch.
You should get the standard IP addressing and internet connection.
If not please post the screenshot from the Mac of the network preferences showing the ethernet setup.
I need to see what address it does get. I need you to make sure the ethernet is the TOP of the list. So rearrange the order of network connection. With the airport off it should just go to the top of the list.
If it appears to be working .. but a browser cannot connect, open a terminal and ping an internet address.
Ping the actual gateway address the ISP gives you and ping the ISP dns address.
