Ipad air initial startup stalled

New iPad air is in initial setup. Stalled loading apps. Several say they are loading but made no progress left on all night. Suggestions?

I know you already mentioned this, but try restoring again under "erase all settings" in general and scrolling down to the bottom in the settings app. If that doesn't work, I can't help you.

Is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?

is it possible to restore from a backup after initial setup on my iPad air?

You don't even have to do to an erase all content and settings.
Just connect the iPad to iTunes. Once it appears on the left, right click on it and select restore from backup. It's that easy.

My iPad Air stalled during an update and I cannot restart my device even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?

My iPad Air stalled during an update and will not restart even after pressing the on/off button for 15 seconds. Any suggestions?

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot.

Itunes will not popup and recognize Ipad air after initial setup. Advice?

I was installing a new ipad air to replace a lost and erased one. It was downloading apps and content as expected. I stepped away for a couple of hours. Now it shows the design directing you to connect to itunes. When I connect it to the laptop, Itunes does not popup or recognize the ipad and the ipad does not open. will not open up. The screen with the design directing connection to Itunes persists. Advice?

That means that the iPad iOS software has to be restored and you will need to try recovery mode now.

Briefly two different spreadsheets come up when opening numbers on iPad Air

Greetings,
Has anyone seen this when opening Numbers on IOS 7 ?
Been using numbers and its been easy as it should. I shut down apps after use.
- HW/SW Details: iPad Air 128Gb, wifi only. Numbers IOS app 2.2.1(1263) and IOS 7.1.(11D167).
Observation; Sometimes when Numbers is run on iPad Air, a strange thing happens upon initial startup of Numbers.
Typically my steps are like this,
1. Press the green Numbers icon to open
2. For a 1/2 sec or less I see one spreadsheet appear, and then the Spreadsheet/Workbook closes and another opens in its place.
It doesnt happen alot, but enough that I've noticed it half a dozen times.
Its like Numbers has a 'cache' of spreadsheets in memory to choose from and choose the wrong sheet to open.
Numbers might offer to open the last sheet worked on, if the sheet was the previously sheet opened.
Anyone else seeing this ?

Ipad air - starts only "Voice over" after resume from stand by

Hi
today, in the morning, i used as always my ipad air (ios 7.01) for about 2 hours (i have it from about 1 month).
I saw only some email (no app installation, no IOS upgrade, nothing else)
Then i put it in stand by mode (by pushing on/off button).
When, in the afternoon, i resume it from stand by (pushing home button) , appears only the white page of "Voice over" and No other thing is possible to do.
I restarted it many times (on/off button + home button pressed for 10-15 seconds until apple icon appears) but after the startup only "Voice over" appears.
Only "Voice Over" is possible to use.................like the first time 1 month ago, when i started up it ad i have configured it for the first time.
It seems that the ipad was reset.
How is possible ?
It could be a IOS failure problem ?
or It's possible that someone has tried to unlock the ipad by pressing the wrong pin code and the ipad now is blocked (No one message that says "ipad blocked" or similar appears.........only "voice over" starts)????.
Please, someone can help me to understand what happened, in order to know what to do ?
How can i try to recover all the data in the ipad ?
Thanks a lot for all
Mario

I confirm that Only the white "setup" page starts (where is wrote "Hello > slide to set up").
The ipad seems that was resetted.
How is possible ?
It could be a IOS failure problem ?
or It's possible that someone has tried to unlock the ipad by pressing the wrong pin code and the ipad now is blocked (No one message that says "ipad blocked" or similar appears.........only "initial setup" starts)????.
I read in a manual of IOS 7 that is possible that the device is resetted after 10 times with wrong pin but after 5-6 times should appear a message with "ipad blocked for n° minutes" or a similar message.
No message appear....only the white page of the setup appears.
Please, someone can help me to understand what happened, in order to know what to do ?

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.

IPad Air restarting after iOS 8 upgrade...?

I Was happy with iOS 7 with latest upgrades. No problem since then.
i just updated to iOS 8 and problem starts..
1: after upgrade to iOS 8 , my iPad Air keeps restarting on every single apps I open.( fb, YouTube, Safari, airborn8 game, behance etc.). Is there any solve ? Or should I revert to iOS 7 ?
2: when I starts airborn 8 , it initially jerks, stops. Finally ipad restarts with blue screen. Should I revert it back to ios 7 ?
3: iPad seems unresponsive sometime. It happens for every app. Should I revert to iOS 7 ?
4: now I am facing another funny problem. I got a update of IOS 8.0.1 but after downloading it , when I tap the install option, it shows "sorry, we can not install update as you are not connected ". I cross checked my connection every time. Yes every other apps and web pages are loading like charm as usual with my 4 Mbps connection.
5: iPad is heating up too much , even during this question typing. And battery drains 5% already
please solve this issues ASAP. And let me use a stable, beautiful iOS 8.

I & my friend have the same problem. Apple kindly reply ASAP. what if this constant restart cause hardware problem? Product is under warranty but time is also expensive element.

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.

How do I add a cell number to iMessage on iPad Air 2?

Wife bought me a iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular and it's own unique phone # for Christmas.
She bought it through her Verizon account.
It arrived today via FedEx. Opened it up. Turned it on. Did the initial set-up on it.
Problem is I accidently signed in using my Apple ID that I have for my iPhone.
After that, whenever I would get a text message on my iPhone it shows up on my iPad also...which I don't want.
I want to be able to use iMessage on the iPad and use it's own unique # that came with it.
So I did some reading and from what I found it sounds like you have to sign out of iMessage on the iPad and sign in with a "new" Apple ID that's attached to that new number.
That being said, I signed my iPhone's Apple ID out of my iPad on iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage.
Then I created a completely new Apple ID and assigned the new cellular # to that account on www.myappleID.com and saved it.
I then went back onto my iPad and signed into iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage with the new Apple ID that I'd created.
Now it only shows the email address associated with that Apple ID as the only 'Send & Receive' option...no phone number.
I then went back and confirmed that I'd saved the cell # change via myappleID.com, signed back out of Cloud/FaceTime/iMessage on the iPad and signed back in.
Still, not showing the cell # listed under 'Send & Receive' options for iMessage...and it's not showing me an option for adding the number either...at least that I can find.
So does anyone know how I can now add the Cellular Data Number that's already listed in General>About>Cellular Data Number to iMessage so that I can actually receive messages to that number that's assigned to the iPad?

The only way you can use a mobile number with iMessage on an iPad if it's associated with an Apple ID that is also associated with an iPhone. YO can then use the iPhone's mobile number. The mobile number on the iPad is for carrier billing purposes only. It cannot be used for messaging.

ICloud Backup Issues on iPhone & iPad Air: NOT Enough Storage (5 GB)

I've been a user of the free 5 GB of storage since its inception without any problems. I was backing up data on my iPhone and 3rd gen. iPad on a regular basis and never ran into any issues.
I recently upgraded to an iPad Air and set it up using a restoration and it went off without a hitch. The very next day I started noticing these warnings that I was approaching my storage limit even though I had not really changed the amount of data on my phone or the Air. I don't download lots of apps and basically only update them when necessary. I use iTunes Match, so I stream my music from the cloud so I don't have audio files on any devices, with the exception of my iPhone for those times I don't have access to wi-fi -- and it's always been the same number of files/same size.
(The iPhone is showing 3.5 GB in use and the Air is showing 1.3 as of this post).
I do have a fair amount of photos in the iPhoto stream as I'm always snapping something, but not to the point of being obssessed. And I always am moving them into iPhoto/Aperture and deleting them frequently, so I'm not talking about thousands of photos being on either device at any time.
In other words, I'm like the average user when it comes to the amount of data on my devices -- and am not going overboard where it's at the point that I know I have to delete things to make room.
I've scrutinized the file sizes of everything I possibly can in the settings on both devices yet I'm still getting the warning that I don't have enough storage space. I find it hard to believe that something during the process of setting up the Air pushed my storage over the edge to where I actually need to purchase space because I just am not seeing any deviation from what I used to do before setting up the Air.
I deleted the 3rd gen. iPad backup as well as any other old backups from iCloud which are no longer relevant each and every single time I've upgraded any device. I don't have anyone else using these devices other than myself so no one is downloading apps, snapping pix, or doing anything which would add data. I did a quick glance at the forums to see that lots of people have this problem - so I'm wondering if it's some type of glitch?
My iPhone told me today that I had not backed up to iCloud in weeks - which I'm sure refers to the time right around I bought the Air - as I have my devices to auto backup when connected to wi-fi. The last backup according to settings was 5/6 -- while the Air was on 5/16.
This is very annoying as I don't want to have to buy the next level of storage just to rid myself of this message so I'd be interested to know what others have tried. Sure, I can just do a complete backup of all my devices to my computer -- which I do fairly regularly -- but it was always good to know that I had access to iCloud backups for those times I didn't hook things up to my MBP.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to things I can try to rid myself of this dreaded message? It pops up daily and I really would love to fix it. Thanks!

I think I figured it out. I went through my iPhone and turned off a lot of the apps that were slotted to backup and it appears to done the trick as the phone is backing up to iCloud.
The language needs to be broken down where it makes more sense of what's happening behind the scenes during these backups as I think it can be easily miscontrued that it's the data the various specific apps are using which is the issue at hand and not them apps themselves is what's causing the increase in size; some people may think that if they turn these apps off, they are deleting the apps from their devices so they leave them all switched on which ends up bumping up the size and ultimately eating up storage space.
I admit to not really paying attention to what the explanation was saying when I initially got the error message which made me initially post this. Now that I'm rationally thinking, I can see the problem of the disappearing space and am off to turn off a handful of apps on the Air to reduce the storage allotment even more

View Account under Cellular Data in iPad Air Settings not working

I purchased a new iPad Air with cellular last week and successfully established an account with Verizon on the iPad. Up until Saturday I was able to sign into View Account on the iPad in Settings and saw that my usage amount stayed current. I also was able to create a sign-on on the Verizon website and login with no problem up until Saturday. Beginning Saturday View Account on the iPad says my sign in credentials are incorrect. I know they are correct. Not only that the Verizon website says "the activity you are attempting is not available" when I try to sign there. Because Verizon is not offering unlimited usage I need to closely monitor because my teenagers have been using the iPad. I called Verizon and they blamed Apple and said contact them. This does not seem like an Apple issue to me. Anyone else experiencing this? If I go over my usage limit, it's expensive.

Yes I installed the MyVerizon app and returns an error.
I been searching around the Internet and everyone is saying that after you initially activate with one carrier on the iPad Air you can remove the SIM and replace with another from a different carrier. According to one article, Apple engineers included a wide range of bands for the iPad Air. Here's the article: http://gigaom.com/2013/11/01/ipad-air-with-lte-tip-you-can-switch-carrier-sims-a t-will/

IPad Air using too much data

I recently purchased an IPad air for my wife for Christmas. We live in a remote area with no high speed internet. We use an AT&T 4G hotspot for our internet access. We subscribe to a 5gb per month plan. Prior to Christmnas my wife had an older IPad. We rarely went over the 5gb plan. Ever since Christmas we have exceeded 12gb. She doesnt watch movies on the ipad, she rarely goes on the internet either. 99% of the time she is on Facebook, Candy Crush or words with friends. I installed a data monitoring app on her ipad, but it only tells me how much data she is burning, but not how much data each individual app is burning. I found an App for my Iphone that does track this, but they do not make it for the iPad. Anyway, I have tracked my wifes usuage and in one day just playing those games she is burning 250mb+ per day. We never had this problem on her older Ipad. What is going on?

That is a great arrangement fo your house, but makes it hard to troubleshoot! If the pad thinks it is on wifi, then it will not hesitate to update stuff etc. But that still is a ton of data.
Using the hot spot, do you have the any ability to monitor your usage anywhere near real time. My experience with AT&T data reporting is that it lags by a day or two - to the point that trying to pin down a culprit just wont work well.
So you may be left back to trial and error -
1. system updates are usually big. If you got the thing new at x mas you had the initial load, 10s7, 10s7.1 and ios7.1.1
2.     webpages with a lot of graphics can be big. (turn on restrictions, and limit the time she can surf. while you sleep on the couch...)
3.     subscriptions? that auto update daily?
4.     photo stream?
i cloud backups?
5.     streaming music while she surfs?
Probably the best solution is simply to move to an area where you can get decent broadband. /s
I guess, use your data monitoring app - no candy crush on Monday, no facebook on tuesday, etc, and see if you can nail it down.
There is an app I have called 'system'. I am not sure if it was free or paid, but there are some tools burined in there. On the overview page there is a data in and out (wifi) since last boot. You can use that daily, or even task specific, and track what your daily or app based usage is. Would take some work, but it would work.

Cannot open links/hyperlinks in my Ipad Air email. This is a new problem! How do I fix back to norm as it was new?

Just recently I tried to click on a link in my email on my Ipad Air, click on menu headings did not respond? This is a new problem! Stores send me emails on sales with menu headings to access "Clearances", "Men's Wares", etc. I click on them to see the offerings BUT THEY DO NOT RESPOND? Is there a setting turned on or off that prevents me accessing these email links? Appreciate help...Thanks, VFP
