Ipad 4th gen 32Gb seems to be doing weird cycling thing.

SO let me explain, I had used Ipad about 2 weeks ago, Then today It acted like dead battery. ie nothing happened like normally when you press the Sleep/Wake Button.
So I plugged it into the AC plug and a Red battery indicator displyed with the bottom 1/4 screen displaying a greyish/white rectangle. Then all of a sudden the apple logo displays for about 1.5 seconds then off and about 2 sec later back to the red battery indicator Greish/white rectangle screen again then apple logo then repeat.
It will do this for hours and it seem the battery is gaining 0% charge.
Not to mention I tried to restore it but when connecting to mylaptop ( Which is all I have ever used to update/Sync with) It does nothing and I cannotget computer to even detect it.
Anyone know what the ehck coudl of happened here and how I can get it restored. I have backup so I can erase all if needed.
All I know is that this now is totally useless

This is after being plugged into AC for over 24 hours. I first get the low battery screen then within like 1-2 seconds the apple logo pops up then within 1-2 seconds it acts like it is restarting and goes back to battery screen and repeats this over and over again.
I have tried holding the Home button and the Sleep awake button but it seeems to have no effect the Ipad just keeps doing its cycle.
I tried plugging it into the laptop but it does not detect the ipad so I am stuck.
I have no Idea how to restart or reset it other then the 2 ways I mentioned.

My ipad 4th gen 32gb keeps crashing everytime i use a app that deals with a map?

I updated my ipad 4th gen 32gb to iOS 7 and since then anytime i use a app that deals with a map it crashes for instance find my iphone, find my friends and the built in map app on the ipad. I restored the ipad when it first started happening and its still doing it. I do the soft reset and it seems to do not a thing to help out the matter. The first time it happened i was using my built in map app and the ipad started crashing and wouldnt stop, it went on for like 3 hours kept turning on and turning right back off when it turned back on and it would do that for the whole 3 hours it probably crashed and turned back on 200 times. I had to do a command reset using itunes on my macbook pro to get it to stop doing it and ive not used the map app since because of it. So recently ive used find my friends and find my iphone and it would crash my ipad once and when it came back on it wouldnt crash again so i would just go and kill the app that caused it to crash.

I restored my ipad as a new ipad deleted all the backups for the ipad from my itunes and then set it up as new and put all my photos and music and apps back the way they was and i havent really messed with the apps with maps in it but the crashing is still happening and its happening inside the settings app id love if someone could help me out its starting to get pretty annoying. Thanks.

Adobe Draw performance issues - iPad 4th gen 32gb v8.2

I'm wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot my performance issues with Illustrator Draw. I'll be working on a drawing and at some point things will start to lag and eventually grind to a halt. Zooming results in about 15-20 seconds of lag while it redraws, recoloring by tap-hold is similar, and drawing eventually becomes impossible.
I'm not working with HUGE illustrations, or anything super complicated (indeed, the examples Adobe uses to showcase the product seem very complex, which is what I'd LOVE to be able to do). Usually 2-3 color, probably 4-5 layers, no transparencies. I saw the issue with Ideas from time to time, but it seems much worse with Draw. Occasionally the lag will lead to a crash, usually associated with losing everything I've done for an hour or more. Does anyone in the community (or hopefully Adobe) have any suggestions as to why this might be the case?

This same thing happens to me as well only it's not my zoom thats the real problem, it's Draw cutting off my stroke to process and then leaping in a straight line to the end of my stroke. I think it might be the 4th gen iPads, cause you and I are running the same iPad.

IPad 4th gen... which iOS does it come with?

Hi there,
If I buy a new iPad with Retina display (4th gen I think), does it come with iOS 6 or iOS 7?
iOS 6 I buy; iOS 7 I don't...
Thanks,
Frédéric

In all likelihood! it will be installed with iOS 6.

IPad 4th Gen recurring problem!

Right after purchase of iPad 4th gen 32GB Wifi+4G and in weeks since, it goes black between 65-55% battery life and is totally unresponsive. Only after plugging into a power source does it come alive and the first few times, a message immediately said "Cannot Verify Server Identity" "Not Trusted" with details of 'calander.yahoo.com' and 'imap.mail.yahoo.com and calander' or something and that happened several times, but the last 20 or so times, it does not come up any more.
I have tried restoring to iCloud backup and factory and still the same results. Bizzare. I am totally baffled.
Sent it back to Apple a few days ago and they returned it after a diagnotics check and could not reproduce the problem. I got it back and it was at 75% battery life which leads me to believe they didn't even take it down to 65% to reproduce it which if the case, ticks me off. They said they installed firmware and updates, but the same problem happened again after it reached 63%.
Frustrated and baffled. Has anybody seen or had this problem??

You've also tried restoring to your last backup and/or resetting back to factory defaults ? But you may need to contact Apple. If it's the 4th gen iPad then it should be covered by the 12 month warranty (it hasn't been dropped or anything ?), as they were only released in November.

IPad 4th Gen will not access gmail/error message regarding password

iPad 4th Gen,32GB, iOS8.1 suddenly giving error message of incorrect user name or password when trying push emails. Steps tried so far:
unlocked gmail account via Safari browser
changed from fetch to push and back
checked stmp info and turned on SSL
rebooted iPad
deleted gmail account
attempted to load gmail account
Any other fixes to try? Problem just suddenly happened this afternoon. Been working just fine, even after downloading iOS 8.1 over 24 hours ago. Problem has only existed for about 6 hours. Had exact problem with iPhone 6, 64GB, iOS 8.1 at the same time but unlocking gmail account via Safari resolved the problem on the iPhone 6. All other apps on both devices working perfectly.

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrinting

Hi,
I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
(Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
Device Configuration show this:
Installed Personalities and Options
PCL6           (20040201)
AirPrint
PCL              (20040201)
PDF              (20040201)
PS                 (20040201)
I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this might mean)
Br,
Heikki

Hi,
Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN, both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.

HT201471 What does MM stand for in the ipad mini and ipad 4th gen description (wifi+cellular) ?

What does MM stand for in the ipad mini and ipad 4th gen description (wifi+cellular) ?

I think it must stand for "made of money" because this 4th generation ipad model 1460 is the most expensive.

IPad 4th gen seems that Safari will return to home page when new mail downloads during web

iPad 4th Gen. Safari will return to home page when it seems to download new mail when I'm on the web!

Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How long does an iPad 4th gen last for not battery I mean in Years

Hi .......ok so I got an iPad 4th Gen 16gb in New York last year (February 2013) and I was just wondering how long this will last, not in Battery life but in how long I can use it until it starts to get really slow and lagging and goes completely dead in years! I use my iPad regularly maybe 4-5 hrs a day (average, sometimes more in a day and sometimes less) so can anyone help me how many years will I have my iPad before I will need a new one I keep my iPad in Great condition and no one uses bar me and I don't ever drop it or put anything illegal on it so it is kept in great condition some people say that it depends on the size in GB on the iPad I have a 16GB white. Can anyone help me how long should I have my iPad for? Ohhh ya my iPad is running iOS 7.0.3 Thank You

No. Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer. However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did. New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have. But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be. Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

IPad 3rd gen 32GB or 4th gen 16GB?

I'm in a dilemma.
My budget gives me a choice between the iPad 3rd gen 32GB or the 4th gen 16GB model. Both are Wi-Fi only, which is fine for me.
What would people recommend? Should I go for the faster CPU or the bigger storage?
Until it was recently stolen I had a 16GB iPad 2, and while I wouldn't say I had loads of space, I got by with it just fine. But I'm guessing these newer models will need more storage.
Any thoughts/suggestions/opinions welcome.

iPad 2 vs iPad 3 vs iPad 4: Which Is the Best Buy?

Where are you going to buy an iPad 3? Apple doesn't sell them anymore. Buy a refurbished 32GB iPad 4 at Apple's on-line store. A refurb is cheaper than the new one, but has a new screen, back and battery and the same 1 year warranty.

IPad 4th gen won't charge?

I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
but my iPad will not budge past 1%
I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

Hi Moll.x,
If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

GPS on Ipad 4th Gen WiFi only

Hello, can you tell me if the iPad 4th Gen WiFi Only will provide GPS services sufficient to run navigation apps such as Apple Maps and Google Maps. I am confused by some reports which state that any GPS positioning is carried out by the cellular chip - which I understand to be absent on the WiFi only model.
I plan to use my iPhone 5 to tether to the iPad, so that I at least have internet connection through the iPhone's 3G connection, but I really want to be able to use the iPad/iPhone combination as a SatNav facility too.
I have tried sales and they cant help - referring me to Tech Support. Tech support seem confused and have suggested it "Probably" can, but wont confirm this in writing.
I do not intend to buy the iPad with the possibility that this is true. I would really like a definitive answer.
Thanks in advance
Alistair

The WiFi only iPad does not have a GPS chip and does location through WiFi routers. Tethering to your iPhone will allow you to use the GPS chip on it and utilize Apple and Google Maps.

No wifi connection on new iPad 4th gen

Help please ive just bought the ipad 4th gen and it wont connect to any wifi networks, im unable to complete the setup because of this. Ive tried different networks and still nothing.I have also tried reseting it but nothing same thing keeps happening, is this common with the new ipads because i have the first one and have never had any trouble connecting to wifi

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
