Ipad air battery does not reach 100%
I just bought my new ipad air (first generation... I bought it today)
I charged it 4 hours but it keeps stuck at 99%.
I saw 99% one hour ago, but it still does not reach 100%.
What should I do?
Use the iPad as normal. The battery gauge is just an approximate indicator. It's accuracy will never be 100% correct.

IPad air 2 does not rotate vertical to horizontal
THere is a.Small lock with a arrow it next to Bluetooth at the very top of screen. I have tried double tap on home but does not have a large lock I circled by a arrow. There is no switch on the top right side next to vulume control. Please help I have no screen rotation?
If you have the original iPad Air then you should have a switch on the side of the iPad just above the volume control.
If you have the iPad Air 2 then I believe that both rotation lock and mute are controlled via Control Centre. -

Message was edited by: SyDid you try to calibrate the battery?
Discharge the battery fully (note: disable standby and hibernation mode in order to prevent the notebook from going into these modes automatically).
Then charge it again reappear this several times in the row
If this does not help, test a new battery -
I just bought a new iPad air and have not been able to download kindle app to read my books. When I type kindle on my iPad app page, kindle app does not appear. What do I do to get this app into my iPad air?
Hi norlowski,
Do you already have the Kindle app downloaded to an iPhone or another iPad? Do you have "Automatic Downloads" turned on under Settings>iTunes & App Store for Apps on your iPad?
You might want to try touching and holding the Kindle App option in your Purchased list, and when it highlights, let go, and it will go to a a detail page for the app with another "Open" option on it. See if it will open from there.
If you do have Automatic Downloads turned on on the iPad, turn it off, and then go back to purchased to see if the Kindle is still showing as "Open".
Post back with results!
Cheers,

What if my battery does not drain fully but drains a few percentages after being 100% charged then completely shuts off?
Want to know how Apple will get 20 hours out of their 60GB iPods batteries ?
They'll fill it with music and fully charge it (of course), then get it to play continuously (probably on random/shuffle or something similar) until the battery dies. They'll have the screen off all that time and they simply won't touch it, in an attempt to get the longest time they can.
ie. it won't simulate real-life use !
Few other things worth mentioning :
- Battery life whilst playing videos is only 3 hours total, so playing any videos at all is going to make quite a difference
- The battery life indicator is only a rough guide - it's not accurate
- Don't get too obsessed with 'calibrating' the battery. Accoring to Apple, this isn't necessary because ""lithium-ion batteries, such as those used in iPod, have none of the memory effects seen in nickel-based rechargeable batteries."

Since OS 7.1.2 Update...iPad Air Battery dead by morning
I spent most of yesterday searching for solutions to my problem, and even tried a few things. However, when I went to bed last night, my iPad air was fully charged at 100%. I unplugged it and looked at the Usage data before putting it to sleep. Then this morning, I turned it on, only to see the Apple logo and then 1% charge left! I then looked at the usage data again before plugging it in to charge.
Here is the usage data last night at 100%, before unplugging it and putting it to sleep:
8 min
8 min
And usage data this morning at 1% before plugging it back in:
5 hrs 58 min
5 hrs 58 min
This appears to have started after I made the OS 7.1.2 update. I've also noticed the problem on my iphone 5 as well...but possibly not to this extent.
What gives here? Has anyone else experienced this? I'm about ready to do a complete wipe out of everything and start over as if it was new! But...it's an iPad Air and I shouldn't have to do that...in my opinion.
For anyone wondering what I tried yesterday...this is what I did:
1. Checked usage, then put into sleep mode and checked it 5 minutes later. According to the "test", it does indicate a battery draining problem.
2. Attempted to turn off "refresh background"...only to find I had already done that a long time ago.
3. Turned off email push notifications and switched to "fetch" every hour.
4. Turned off battery percentage
Any help is appreciated! Apple...where is support for this issue?
Thanks
LaurieThe more I think about this, isn't a black screen with the white apple logo the INSTALLATION screen? Not the downloading screen (which is white with a BLACK apple logo...)
Can anyone clear that up? Thank you!
Ok: the MORE I think about this, that was the installation screen NOT the 7.1.2 download screen because now I remember it asking me to INSTALL it, .... definitely installation screen.
So new question: even though it appeared to not finish installing before I rebooted it, do you think all is fine now? Thanks! -
IPad Air battery problems, need help ASAP!
My iPad Air battery drains EXTREMELY fast and it's supposed to have up to 10 hours (only 2-3 hours for me) and my iPad charger keeps charging backwards and it always dies even though it's charged. This makes no sense at all and it frustrates me because I have to leave it alone while charging but I want to go on it while charging. The charger takes FOREVER to get to 100% when not using it. My iPad Air is a 128 GB with wifi. Please help and tell me if this happens to you also. Thanks.
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.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
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.

What is the best charging cable for the iPad Air (that is not made by Apple)? I need a long cable (over 6ft or more). I also need the cable to be of high quality and the cord part of the cable to be made of strong material. Apple does not make one this long. Is there a cable out there that is sturdy like this and is safe to use?
yes, but I'm trying to use my iPad to type notes (using pages) and I have the smart case which I use as a stand. I need a cable long enough to fit through the back of my desk and the charging brick for the iPad won't fit behind the desk. I have to put it on the floor and then the apple cables aren't long enough to reach.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

New iPad air 2, numbers not compatible with iphone
I have just upgraded my iPad first generation to a new iPad Air.2. I have a problem with numbers spreadsheets which I access using my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. The iPhone is a 3GS with ios6 and the latest version of Numbers it will load is version 2. The new iPad air comes loaded with Numbers version 3.
If I amend a spreadsheet with the iPad then I cannot open it with the iPhone. I have been on apple chat and they say I cannot downgrade the numbers app to version 2 on the iPad. Only solution they can come up with is to buy a later iPhone.
my question is
Apple say that numbers version 2 cannot be put on the iPad air. Does anyone know if there is a way of putting an old version of Numbers or iWork's on a new iPad.
any help would be appreciatedI have tried using the free app iSpreadsheet. It loaded Ok on iPhone 3gs and new iPad and appeared to sync via iCloud but I did not fully check this. The main problem is that the spreadsheet is limited to 50 rows so is no good for me.
Work around I am going with is to upload spreadsheet from new iPad to Dropbox in exel format. Then download from dropbox to Adobe reader on iPhon. I have found that Adobe reader is quicker reading the exel format file than converting it to PDFs. Seems odd that a pdf reader is better at reading xls files than pdf files but there you go.
i have not mentioned in the above but I have a Mac with numbers version 2 also linked to iCloud. This cannot be upgraded to numbers version 3 without an upgrade to the operating system. I also have excel on the Mac so I am going to look at putting the free exel app on the new iPad so that at least I can sync it with the Mac.
the annoying thing about this is that -

Someone from the store say that i must reset my motherboard because thats one of the problems.
Does any one know how i can fix this.

Please dont use any batteries which are not 100% compatible with your notebook!
This can damage motherboard and other 3rd notebook parts.
As far as I know the A100 is a one of the newest Toshiba series and the warranty should be valid.
For me it sounds a little bit like a motherboards power supply electronic fault.
Who knows ?:| The notebook check is necessary to locate the malfunction.
So dont waste the time and contact immediately the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
They technicians should check the notebook and should provide a help.
Good luck -
