IPad Air brightness changing.

I Have an iPad Air and the brightness is set to maximum and auto brightness is turned off. After using the ipad the ipad brightness will increase dramatically and stay like this for anything up to five min, then it goes and reverts back to what it was. This all happening with auto brightness off. It's not overly dull and somewhat bright but after seeing the brightness go up further it looks a lot better. I have rest the ipad, reset the settings, checked the auto lock feature and calibrated the auto brightness feature. The only thing I haven't done is a fresh install of the Current iOS 7.1.2
Any suggestions as to why this is happening would be appreciated or if anyone has encountered the same problem.

Hi imtomstamp,
If your iPad’s brightness does not appear to be working correctly you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
While your symptoms do not match exactly, the steps are still relevant and will allow you to find whether the issue is with software or hardware.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Ipad Air keeps changing contrast/color saturation while watching youtube videos

The whole screen fluctuates contrast continuously while watching youtube videos on full screen.The odd thing is it only happens if they are on full screen,and as soon as i switch the video to window mode,the very high contrast fades aways slowly.Please help i dont know what to do.Auto-Brightness is off.Also when if i pri tscreen,th high contrast does not show,the photo looks normally.

I have this problem too. It's really annoying, especially when I'm viewing movies from iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Can my verizon ipad air be changed over to Sprint?

I purchased a Verizon IPad Air. Since T-Mobile had the 200mb free ad going I had a T-Mobile SIMcard installed. Now, Sprint actually has a plan that would work for me, can I change to Sprint?? All of our phones are on Sprint, but because they didn't have a competitive tablet plan I didn't pick Sprint when I ordered my ipad.

Hi Scarlett,

Smart Cover for iPad Air does not stay closed

The iPad Air Smart Cover is a different design to the previous versions of the Smart Cover, it has no metal spine on the left side and the magnets do not appear to be as strong as the previous versions. Presumably Apple has done this to reduce the production cost, and increase profits.
The result of this is that if one holds the iPad with the spine of the cover in the left had and the thumb on the first section of the cover and then tips the iPad over to the left the cover opens when the iPad is tipped past the vertical, towards the left side. This is made worse when the iPad is fitted with a third party back protector case which fits over the front edge slightly.
This problem did not exist with the earlier iPads and their Smart Covers. We have an iPad 2 and iPad 3 both fitted out with Smart Covers and third party back covers. Both of these can be tipped over completely, upside-down, while holding them (in the manner described above) and they do not open.
We tried our new iPad Air Smart cover on other iPad Airs at the store (not Apple) and we also tried other Smart Covers on our iPad Air. They all had the same problem.
The only fix will be if Apple recognise the problem and improve the design of the Smart Cover
NOTE: We also tried the Smart Case and this had the same problem.
So, my questin is to Apple: When will I be able to exchange the Smart Cover for an updated version that does not have this problem?

I also have an iPad Air, and a genuine Apple Air Smart Cover. Cover stuck fine in the closed position (even if upside down) for several months. Cover also stuck to the right hand back of the iPad Air when open and folded back, even if upside down.
About a week ago, the right hand edge of the cover started being slightly repelled from the right hand edge iPad Air when closed. This left the iPad at risk of not actuating the on off switch, or at least being very sensitive to any movement.
The cover still stuck to the back of the iPad Air when open and folded back.
I believe Apple have magnets in the right hand edge of the cover, not just a passive strip of iron. If so, the polarity between back and front of the cover will be opposite. I believe Apple are somehow arranging the magnets in the right hand side of the iPad Air to change position depending on whether the cover is closed on the front, or open and folded to the back. I suspect Apple somehow allow the magnets in the iPad Air to pivot or move to provide a decent attraction both front and back regardless of cover polarity.
When I get hold of some magnetic viewing film I will check the magnet locations further.
My iPad Air went back to attracting the cover to both front and back a day or so ago. I had made no alterations. This correction happened after leaving the cover closed (and hovering mid air by a milimetre or two) overnight.
I believe the problem is in the iPad Air, not in the Smart Cover.

Auto-brightness iPad Air

Just replaced my older iPad with an iPad Air and although its great I have an issue with the brightness. When sitting using it i kept thinking this is far too bright for me compared to my older iPad 3 and then realised that the auto-brightness wasn't changing at all. I did a hard reset and no difference and then recalbirated the brightness and although the auto-brightness will rise in a bright room - it won't ever go down if you go somewhere darker. Really annoying and I just can't seem to get it working right. More annoying simply because my old iPad just worked!

iPad Air iOS 7.1.1 feature request. Please add "Automatic Dimming" feature to the "Automatic Brightness" feature. Similar to the semiautomatic dimming feature, this new feature would dim the brightness to the set level without the user even having to lock, unlock and enter the PIN to get back to what they were doing when they turned the lights out.
I believe the secret lies ironically somewhere in the code for the "Automatic Brightness" feature. Same approach but reverse the use case to achieve screen dimming in darkness instead of the other way around. I'm talking to you, New Apple Software Engineer Kid. Just code it tonight while everyone has gone home. Check it in, get that pull request approved first thing in the morning, nurse it into the build, make it happen. Dimming is your way to shine. They don't think like you do and they'll never see you coming until you're already across the finish line. Now, go take what's yours.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

How do I change the phone number associated with my iPad Air?

During initial setup of my iPhone 5S, I mistakenly assigned that phone number to my iPad Air. How do I change that number to another iPhone my wife has for iMessaging purposes?

Set the iPad up with her Apple ID.

I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish ti split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?

Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted.

Does anyone has a problem with the screen of the new ipad? (there's a part of the screen which the color in it is "very" bright) and when I move the aluminium part of the smart cover when it's attached to the ipad the colors change!! Help!!!

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

I have the same case with you an iPad Air in dead pixel or speckle silver dust on screen. It is been 3 months I bought in Avant Abenson in Greenbelt Makati Philippines. Today I decided to change my screen protector film but the speckle dust on the screen

Speckles dust on the screen and it cannot be removed today when I decided to change the screen protector film and noticed is not my fault it is a factory defect on screen it is either dead pixel or speckle dust on screen they are so many said and experience I have read. So I need the replacement a new one for that dismayed screen on my iPad Air. I bought this 3 months ago in Avant Abenson at Greenbelt Makati Philippines. I need the replacement for tomorrow I will go to the store I bought. I love apple products but they need to replace and make go round to improve some defects and cannot be more escalate with this issue of the many of patronizing your products. It is sometimes irritating to the eyes and seen dirt on the screen. Thank you apple customer service to bringing up my complaints and a replacement for tomorrow's to inform the store I bought and advise them here in the Philippines to facilitate in regards to this matter.

I wanted to buy an ipad air to replace my ipad 2 but the one I wanted was (luckily) sold out.
Yesterday I tested the air from a collegue and I noticed the screen was SUBSTANTIALLY less sensitive than the screen of my ipad 2 when using my stylus.
I use Stylus R US especially for I annotate and with the air this did not work well at all... Half of the time there was no contact registered so underying certain parts of the text was a disaster...
Just working with the finger all whent OK... Just fear that another app I use a lot (notes +) will have same problem.
On the Ipad 4 also retina all goes *** smooth as on my ipad 2...
Is this a fault of a specific ipad air series? Or is this normal?? If it is I think this is truelly a huge flaw and I cannot see how not manny people using the ipad for notetaking etc did not notice this...

My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, these apps were also deleted I order to be updated. Now I cannot get the free version. Help?

My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks

How to change "Regional Language" in iPad air

Hello, I use an iPad air with iOS 7.0.4.
I was wondering how to change the regional language in ipad air. I mean exactly what I said, I know how to change a region, and I know how to change the language. I need to change the regional language. Whenever I choose my own religion, the date, time, battery etc. are all shown in my region's language instead of English. This is irritating since the time 'am' and 'pm' translations are stupid as he'll. Furthermore, the text is harder to read because of the font.
All said and done, I need to completely irradiate that language from displaying while not changing the region. Plus, I do think that the regional settings option should be in the settings (like no matter which region you are in, you should be able to choose the language, date time format, temperature in c or f etc.)

It's not possible yet to do what you want (unless by chance you can pick another region which natively combines the language with the other settings you want). To ask Apple to fix this, use

Primarily using the ipad air as an art portfolio but photos i upload in order get rearranged. other than changing the date they were shot, is there any solution to this? can they be reorganized in iphoto on the ipad?

You are welcome.
Sorting and organizing photos on IOS devices is one of the things that really need to be improved. It looks like the developers simply did not expect the users to want to keep large photo libraries on an IOS device, where the ordering would matter. I'd send feedback to the developer team, so that they see, what the users want and need:

TS1368 My new iPad Air has connection to iStore, but it gives me USA instead of UK. I don't know how to change it.....and I am a dinosaur in these matters:-)

Help. New iPad Air WiFi...has connection to iStore USA. I want iStore UK. For downloading films/ TV Series. How can I change it to UK? Am dinosaur, so easy answers please :-)

If you are not here in the UK then you can't use the UK store - you need to be in a country to use its store, so if you are in Hungary then you can only use the Hungary store.
The UK's store terms of use include (and other countries will be similar) :
The Service is available to you only in the United Kingdom. You agree not to use or attempt to use the Service from outside this location. iTunes may use technologies to verify your compliance.
If there is a particular film or TV programme/series that you want to buy that isn't currently in the Hungarian store then you can try requesting that it be added, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
