IPad Air 2 Distortion

Greetings, fellow Apple People. As you all probably know, the iPad Air 2 has a rather widespread defect which causes the LCD Retina Display to distort and discolorize when any pressure is placed on the right rear of the device. My 128GB iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi edition has been experiencing this problem since I u boxed it several minutes ago, and on my particular unit, it's terrible. Even the slightest tap of a finger on the rear causes severe discoloration on the front display, and there seems to be a permanent faint-blue mark in that spot. Funny thing is, I unboxed the tablet in-store, and immediately reported the problem to an Apple employee. He said "Oh, that looks pretty bad. Let's get you a fresh one." He came out of the back with a new tablet, and he took the liberty of u boxing it and testing it for the issue. It was nowhere near as bad as the one I initially opened, but it still happened. He showed me that it occurred on several of the display models they had out, and happily gave me the new one he opened, where the problem was much less noticeable.
While I'm pleased with Apple's great service, I still wonder why this problem seems to be universal on all iPad Air 2 units. Can anyone tell me if they've gotten a good model? Thanks, the help is greatly appreciated!

HT4623 Since updating to ios 7.0.6 it has caused the sounds on my iPad Air to either be distorted, none at all in headphones or when locking it almost sounds like a whining drill. What am I meant to do with that got it pretty soon after it was released

It is completley strange (did the update yesterday evening 5/3), I realise this is likely to be a bug, the iPad Air has no dirt in the headphone or speakers, have checked. It sounds just like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnL1OjDQcLM
I don't know however if they experience the same with the headphones, I do find that if I fiddle with the mono settings and left and right balance I could get the headphones to work perfectly again, on off with the sleep button and home button seemed to clear the silly noise on the stereo speakers. I dont really want to keep messing around with the settings to get it to work, I would assume that the update for the SSL bug fix is the problem as when I applied this update the issue started, I had made NO other changes or install of apps and had only used it for browsing e-mail and music.
This should not happen and would like to know what Apple intend on doing to resolve this and when??

Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

Color distortion in iPad Air

I just got the new iPad Air. But when I compare screen colors in my new iPad with the old one (the first iPad) and computer monitor, I can see the color distorton on iPad Air screen: yellow color is too sceaming, with a green nuance, the blue color has a violet/purple nuance; and the gray colors has the same violet tone. Is it some kind of my device’s defect or what? Couldn’ find any information about the possibility of color adjustment.

HI,
Run the Apple Hardware Test to make sure it isn't the graphics card.

Which iPad should I purchase? Ipad air 1 or 2?

Hey guys! I'm wanting to purchase a iPad for school next year (uni), and am debating over which iPad Air version to purchase. I'd like an iPad mainly to do my school work (type notes, look at pdfs, highlight textbook pages, etc), as well as browse the internet, use apps (like facebook, twitter, youtube, email etc) and watch movies. I originally was going to purchase the air 2, but after browsing a few forums, I noticed quite a few people complaining about it (vibration issues, screen distortion, battery, etc). Considering the price, I'm now a bit hesitant in purchasing it.
Which I guess leads me to the iPad air 1. From what I understand, it seems to do the same job as the iPad air 2, but just without those issues (and for a cheaper price!)? I noticed that a few people were talking about safari reloading, but I don't use more than 2-3 tabs at a time generally, so I would assume that wouldn't be an issue? My only problem is that I'm worried it might be too slow compared to the iPad air 2's chip and ram, and is already too 'outdated'.
I'm really hoping whatever iPad I purchase will last me at least a good 2-3 years (I know that might be asking too much!) and will be of good quality; I know products are always bound to have flaws, etc, but I'm hoping to pick the one of with the least amount, and something that will last me.
I guess my question is what everyone else's experiences have been with their air 2 so far? Do you like it, prefer it over the air 1, prefer the build quality, don't like it, waste of money, etc.
I've never owned an iPad, but currently have a nexus 7 tablet that I'm hoping to replace. I found the nexus too small when writing notes and didn't really like using keyboard folios with it; which is why I don't really want to purchase any iPad Minis.
Any help is appreciated!
edit- I apologise if this is in the wrong place!

The biggest issue between the 1 and 2 is that all devices eventually age out of software updates. For example the iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1, only the Touch 5 was eligible for iOS8 and I think only iPhones 4+ could get iOS8. So eventually, if you get a 1 you may face maxing out of the iOS updates before the two.
That said, even if your device maxes out it'll still run just fine as it is. You may just face issues with future apps....so say my iPad maxes out in December. In February a really cool game comes out and I want it... but wait, it's for the newer iOS and won't install on mine. If you're aware of the issue and accept the issue, there's no reason you can have a fully functioning older device.
And if the 1 is more stable than the 2, even better. I've been very lucky with my iPad 2 to have it be a very stable and dependable model while later models do seem to have had issues.

Lack of game sounds on 2 ipad air 2 machines.

I bought 2 off "ipad air 2" several days apart.
They have the latest issues of software.
The only time they have been used on the Internet was to download Candy Crush, separately.
Today both units failed to produce sounds, whilst playing the game.
I know it sounds stupid but both sounds did disappear on the same day, but I tried mine after
I found out that the other sound had stopped.
They have not been linked together.
I have tried a reset under "general" "Reset" without any change.
Volume not set at minimum!
Nothing else has been loaded on either machine.
Any suggestions help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Reset your device by holding the sleep/wake and home (shown above) buttons until the apple logo pops up, that should solve the problem. Don't worry it's completely harmless.

IPad air 2 won't play videos

I bought an iPad air 2 64gb (which is my first iPad/tablet) and for some reason it doesn't play any videos in any app. It is not a bandwidth problem, as my laptop will play youtube videos without any issues on the same wifi network. I already already did a full system restore (because I was having some additional issues which are now fine), resetting all settings and restarting, but the video issue continues. On the youtube app for example, whenever I try to watch a video all I see is the buffering circle spinning around and nothing happens. On a couple of occasions it started playing the video with horrible quality for just a second or two, and back to infinitely buffering, or sometimes showing a "Playback Error". I can watch 720p videos perfectly on my laptop and even my smartphone, so again, this is not a bandwidth issue. I am using the latest iOS version.
Does someone else have this issue? I find it very strange/frustrating. I tried pretty much everything I can think of...

Hi shambalough,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you have no sound from the iPad. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Ipad Air 2 HDMI Mirroring Issue

I have been using Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI - Lightning adaptor) for a long time on my iphone 5 for mirroring images , videos, safari, games, etc. on my TV.
When i got my ipad air 2 i got it connected, mirroring works as it should , games, images, safari, youtube, etc but recently it stopped mirroring and i was only able to mirror videos when enlarged at full screen. Nothing else work. The TV shows only blanks while connected, rest of the time.
Did i accidentally switch any settings on the ipad itself? It still works on my iphone 5, not my ipad air 2.
Please help out!! Thanks!

I don't see any screen distortion when pressing the back, even press slightly harder. It is fine to me because i won't bend my ipad air 2. Some more i have a case to protect my ipad which can minimize the distortion issue by giving pressure from the back.
but the speaker issue is really annoying and only happens on ipad air 2 , i didn't see the issue been so obvious on other ipad (ipad 2 3 4 air mini...). Can we ask for compensation from Apple?
Apple should recall to replace the speaker or putting some material to absorb the vibration.

Ipad air speakers buzzing normal?

Has anyone else had problems with the new ipad air speakers? I've tried watching a programme on lovefilm, and had to turn the sound up quite high as it was muffled. It then sounded a bit distorted and the whole ipad was vibrating, so bad I could feel it all through my fingers. I then was using skype and I was getting a weird buzz feedback when I spoke, which I never got on my ipad 3. Does anyone know if this just standard for the ipad air, or is it possible I have a faulty one?
Ash

I just picked up my REFURBED IPAD Air 4/25/2014 & I st it up 4/26/201 & all ready have a issue with it. Getting the muffled sound when playing a game, using ITunes & watch a movie. Pretty sad that you pay 500.00 for the highly rated IPad & you get issues. I also noticed that this highly rated retina display is not what it is cracked up to be. My samsung galaxy pro 10" is a heck lot better quality

Audio problem after ios 7.1 in ipad air

After updating to ios 7.1 in Ipad air I got the following problems.
After watching a movie via the video app and switching to home screen, the keyboard click sound is muted and also the lock sound is.
I tried for the solution by resetting my device 5 times but his didn't work.
Please let me know anyone has this kind of issue...Please report to Apple to fix this issue in next update.

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.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

http://www.atreks.com/app-no-sound-on-ipad-4-%E2%80%93-what-to-do/
To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Cannot send email from my IPad Air

I suddenly cannot send email from my IPad Air. Keep getting message that my email recipient
was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Don't understand what this means as I have been able to send email before.

Paula, in most cases this message appears when you are sending email from a ISP server not in the pop settings and SMTP settings in your email program.
In example if I send out email from my iPad I must be on my own isp's server to send. I have roadrunner but if I send email out using say Verizon's email server I will get a reject notice.
You did not say what email program you are using but if it is hotmail or yahoo or your isp's email in two of these email accounts there are stand alone apps which work much better than the stock email program on the phone.
If you are using road runner or another ISP email you must get the proper Pop3 (incoming) server settings and SMTP (send) settings from your ISP
You can then just go into the Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendar section and click on the email account and change to the proper settings from your ISP.
You could delete as you were told but why bother when only the sending and receiving settings need to be entered.
If the settings are correct, on an iPhone it tests the settings. If correct send an email. If incorrect you will need the proper settings from your ISP.
It is actually very easy to do.

ITunes/Music Home sharing does not work on my iPad Air

No matter what I do I cannot use Music.app on my iPad Air to play music from my iTunes Library with Home-Sharing switched on. The Library name correctly appears in the Music.app source list after the loading symbol takes an age to complete. When it appears to have connected to the Library on my Mac, contents of my Library are shown in the app but I cannot play anything. If I select an albumn and press Play the Music.app merely cycles rapidly through all the track titles of the Album and then stops. Nothing plays. I've tried dozens of times to get this to work, even rebuilding my iTunes Library. Nothing seems to cure the problem. I can connect and play via Plex which is just plain daft seeing Apple designed all the software/hardware but they, themselves, cannot correctly code for this basic functionality.
Also, not all Album cover artwork is displayed correctly.
It seems many of the things I bought the iPad for are non-functional and the tablet is virtually useless. I can't beleive Apple would produce software and hardware which is specifically made to work harmoniously but obviously doesn't.
Any help, here, please?
I'm also having problems with Bluetooth connecting to my Mac Pro (2008)... Namly, it will not.

Is there a way to create a password protected folder for pictures or lock the photos app? For Ipad Air and Iphone 5s.

Is there a way to create a password protected folder for pictures or lock the photos app? I want to do this for Ipad air and Iphone 5s. I have other family members that use my Ipad and Iphone and do not want some pictures to be able to be viewed.

Use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro.

No list view in iPad Air calendar?

In Calendar on the iPad Air, there doesn't seem to be any way to view all your calendar events as a chronological list of events (I.e., "list view"). Can this be true? I've been trying to find it for hours.

Madhuri,
I have tried the way you mentioned by using non-sap(MSSQL) bakend with ipad platform.It is working fine for me when i have tested the app in ATE.
Once try to cross check with my procedure once.
1.I have three objects Customer,orders,products.Orders object is collection to customer,Product Object is collection to orders.
2.I have defined 'show order tile' screen set for order object with one detail screen that contains order id and customer id.
3.Defined another screen set 'show order tile selected' for order object This details screen contains all the fields in the order object.Now i have defined as mentioned by you a field with edit type as 'list view'-->check whether all the settings are done correctly in this field->height(20),collection(In my example Products),List view columns(Product Name)->that means the list view will display all the product names of the selected order object.
4.Go to 'show customer details screen set' ,define a detail screen,add a field with edit type as 'list tile view'->set the collection to orders,list tile view settings->screensets->row ->show order tile screen set
selected ->show order tile selected screen set
5.Publish and test in ATE.For your understanding iam inserting the screen shot that i have done.
Please try to map the screen sets and objects in my example.....Hope this may be a bit helpful for you.

After upgrade to IOS 8.3 iPad Air no longer connects to iTunes

Today I upgraded my Macbook Air to Yosemite 10.3 and my iPad Air to IOS 8.3
After upgrading the iPad I was asked to connect it via cable to iTunes in order to allow for wireless sync.
When plugging the cable in, the iPad starts sending endless alert beeps and the top line of the screen is shaking. On iTunes the error message "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone. This device is no longer connected." appears with every alert beep from the iPAD. No matter how often the OK button is pressed, the message appears rightaway again.
I made a full backup of the iPad Air before upgrading to IOS 8.3 but I am very reluctant to reset the iPad as the same error might come up when connecting the iPad after reset to iTunes and then I would not be able to restore it at all.
Does anyone had a similar experience and/or is there any known workaround?
Many Thanks for any suggestion.
G.W

Thanks for your further consideration, much apreciated. I tried a different cable, different port and did reboot and soft reset. I also did reset of settings on iPad, just in case.
As I can with no problems use the same USB cable and USB port with my iPhone to connect to iTunes, the issue must be somewhat with the iPad Air and iTunes on my Macbook Air. I also can connect the iPad with the same USB Cable to iTunes on a different Macbook with no issues.
I think, best is to do a full backup on a different machine and then setting back the iPad to initial state, followed by a restore.
This I can (hopefully successfully) do with iTunes on a different Macbook.
Many thanks for you kind support.

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
