Ipad air question

i have an ipad air. very , very impressed. my wife has a samsung which is a great little machine, however... apple is not an orange... question- my ipad heats up , like the underside of some laptops ,  what do you think?

Depends on how hot it is getting, but yes, like and laptop of similar device, certain functions do cause the process to work harder resulting in addition heat (streaming videos, for example). iOS devices also do not have fans. Some case designs will exacerbate this. Uless it is getting to hot to handle, this is normal.

  • New iPad Air Questions

    Once upon a time I had an iPad 2, and it was good. Yesterday I got an iPad Air. Was there supposed to be a manual anywhere? I did download it from Apple, but shouldn't it be on the device?
    Is iCloud the preferred way to transfer data these days? I find iCloud annoying. I don't need everything on my iMac, iPhone and iPad. I want to select what is on each one.
    Does Air Drop work between an iMac and the iPad Air? If not, why the **** not?
    Does connecting the iPad Air to an iMac do anything at all? The iPad Air didn't appear on the desktop. Can I not transfer stuff via USB?
    Thanks for any answers you might have.

    AirDrop does not yet work between a Mac and an iPad/iPhone.  I suppose that they will add some of that functionality soon, but AirDrop on Macs currently functions quite a bit differently than it does on a Mac, so there's not a one-to-one correlation.
    If you connect your iPad to your Mac, it should automatically pull up iTunes.  This is where you'll find the interface to interact with your device.  There will be a new tab/button in iTunes that lets you examine what's on your iPad, back it up, and even transfer some document-type files.  Ordinarily, though, there is no real reason to transfer anything via this method.  Your contacts, notes, calendars, etc., however, should already have synced up if you have activated iCloud.  And if you choose to use iCloud for iWork documents and whatnot, then they are automatically synced as well.  I'm not sure why you're unhappy with iCloud.  I find it to be a simple and unobtrusive way to never have to worry about what device or computer I am using.  All my stuff is just automatically everyhwere.  But if you don't like that, you can choose to save things to the Mac hard drive only, and you can turn off document syncing in your iCloud settings on your iPad.

    When I try to setup my new iPad air, I go through all the steps for the iCloud sign-in and choosing security questions and what not. But after I hit the agree to the terms and conditions... It says Apple ID could not be created because of a server error. Have no clue what to do... I've restarted the iPad and get the same message. But my internet works just fine.

    1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
    2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • I forgot my iCloud security question, also the email address I registed. How can I remove unconfirmed iCloud iD on my Ipad Air (iOS 7)?

    When I first set up my grandpa new Ipad Air. I registed an iD-based his name like t•••••••••••@******but in reality such gmail did exsist and I do not know. I was confident that I remember the password so I can change the email later. But now, I forgot all the password, also the security question's answer. So, how can I remove the unconfirmed iCloud account on my device?
    <Edited by Host>

    Hi Noisyzbeez, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    You would need to know the password to the Apple ID set up on the device to remove it from the iCloud settings. The attached article has information on resetting the password via email or security questions. If you are unable to change the password after attempting these two ways, which it sounds like you are, there is also a link towards the bottom of the article to contact Apple Support.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    Regards, 
    Joe

  • Many questions...advice?  iPad 2 == iPad Air in France

    I have a 16 GB iPad 2 WiFi and am planning to buy a 32 GB iPad Air WiFi + cellular
    I'm in France, but will probably be moving to the US next year.
    Many questions, any answers appreciated!
    -I don't have a computer...my laptop committed suicide, and I got the iPad to tide me over, and found that I really don't need anything more. Is there any problem transferring my apps and data over, or do I have to repurchase stuff? It's backed up on iCloud.
    -related question...is there a good way to get music I've got on various iPods (I've got 3 of the old tiny ones) onto the iPad (again, no computer)?
    -will I be able to buy an iPad Air in France and use it in the US with just an adaptor, or do I need to buy a completely different power cord?
    -it looks like if I get the WiFi + cellular version in France, I need to sign a cellular contract. Does anyone know if this is actually the case, or if I can buy one contractless, use it WiFi, and worry about the cellular part later? Again, if I take it to the US, will I be able to add a US cellular contract later? Or am I stuck with whichever country I bought it in?
    -is there a good way to easily  trade in or sell my old iPad?  French power cord, etc.  Earbuds died.  Has it got any value?
    -if I buy a 16 GB iPad Air can I add memory later, or should I go for 32 GB right off the bat? I spent a bunch of money for extra iCloud storage, only to discover that it didn't mean I could keep more movies downloaded, and so it wasn't useful and I canceled it. Am I correct in assuming that I probably want the 32 GB this time around?
    -I don't have a printer, but I'd like to get one. What I really want is cheap and nasty, good at printing black-and-white, easy set-up, no expensive supplies. Recommendations? Or what to definitely avoid?
    -is there a good reason to buy from the Apple Store as opposed to a general electronics retailer?
    -I currently use the SmartCase, but I'm thinking to change to a SmartCover because of the weight.
    Except for not covering the back of the device, do they basically function the same?
    -I don't like the available Apple case color options (they are the icky pastel colors of cheap Japanese blenders! Why?)...
    Are there any cases from other manufacturers that are equally or even more functional but have other colors?
    If anyone has any recommendations for indispensable accessories that you really love, please tell me!
    Also, the 2 annoying points I've noticed are (1) a bunch of stuff is only available through FlashPlayer, and (2) can't attach multiple documents to emails. Are there any changes here, or am I missing an
    easy workaround?
    Merci beaucoup!

    As long as you use the same Apple ID on both the devices you can share apps and content that's been downloaded from Apple.
    If the music on your iPod came from iTunes you can redownload it. If you synced it onto your iPods as music ripped from cd's etc then I don't think you can get it off the iPod, or if you can the only way to do that is with a computer.
    You will only need a plug adapter, the power brick should work on world wide power.
    I don't have a cellular iPad but if you get one that's wifi only you can later look into something like a Mifi, a portable battery operated wifi hot spot.
    Selling your old iPad should be relatively easy although you might need to knock off a few bucks for the french power plug. Just make sure that you erase all content and settings before you sell it so they can get int it and so that your data is removed.
    THe memory isn't upgradable so buy the memory you'll need because what you buy is all you have.
    Any wireless printer could work. If it's air print enabled then you're good to go. If not  you can look for apps by the printer manufacturer or there are plenty of third party printer apps that enable wireless printing.
    You don't have to buy from Apple. In fact, places like Best Buy offer really great accidental damage protection that can be even better than waht Apple offers. In addition, third party places may have other perks, such as free covers or gift cards towards accessories, etc. So shop around.
    The only thing to remember, if you choose to buy Apple Care Plus it's best to get it when you buy your device.
    As far as I know there's no huge difference between the smart case or Smart Cover. If you're shopping for cases then I'd suggest Amazon. Widest and best selection out there, and even if you don't buy from amazon, you can see who's got what.
    THe accessory I can't live without is my Zagg Folio, it's a case and wireless keyboard that turns my ipad into a mini computer.  A stylus can also be helpful if you find the screen hard to maneuver around but not necessary.

  • IPad Air Charger Question

    Hello! I just bought an iPad Air and it came with a 10W Power Brick. It charges pretty slowly. From what I've read I thought they came with a 12W brick. What do I need t odo?

    From the online Apple store's iPad Air item page Frequently Asked Questions section:
    Which power adapter should I use to charge my iPad?
    iPad Air 2 and iPad Air come with a 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2 come with a 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W USB Power Adapter. If you need to purchase an additional adapter, choose the 12W adapter because it can charge all iPad models.
    http://store.apple.com/us/buy-ipad/ipad-air
    You can choose to buy a 12 watt adapter if you want.
    But as it stands, the 10 watt charger is the correct charger to be included with an iPad Air.

    Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data. But you may need to do this more than once. Cheers Brian

  • Question: additional paid for levels on iPad air

    I paid for sone additional levels on my iPad 2 of several games. When I downloaded them to my recently acquired iPad air! only the first few free levels downloaded! not the xtras I have paid for. How do I get those paid for extra levels over to my iPad air please?
    Thanks Eden

    YOu need to talk to the game developer to find out why.
    Are you using the same Apple ID for both devices? because your purchase is tied to your Apple ID. You may also poke around in the game's setting as look for a 'restore purchases' or something similar. Usually there's the game download, then the extra download of in app purchases, so you often need to get your game, then go and reclaim your purchases.

  • Am using ipad air, my question is under accessibility mute and unmute button is not working.

    pls help me am using ipad air, under accesibility the mute and unmute button are not working.

    Do you mean that you have Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Mute', and you have the switch on the right-hand side of your iPad, above the volume control, 'on' ? WIth that 'on' notification sounds should be muted (e.g. email notifications, game sounds etc), but the you should still be able to hear the Videos and Music apps and with headphones. Is that not happening, and if not you've tried toggling the switch on the side of your iPad on/off ?

  • Ipad air 2 question

    Why my ipad air 2 with ios 8 tak to long to change for and if i want to take back to bextbuy for a differnt tablet can i?

    Hi cmp,
    Welcome to the Best Buy Unboxed forums! I'm sorry for the delay in receiving your forum post. With the Memorial Day holiday we've been a little bit busy.
    As far as your iPad taking a long time to charge, it depends what power adapter you use. The standard 5 watt charger that's included with your iPad Air 2 generally takes longer to charge because it pushes out less power. I'd recommend purchasing the 12W charger to get a faster charging speed: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter-white/7006915.p?id=1218821197031&skuId=70069...
    Let me know if I can be of any other help!
    Thanks,

  • IPad air storage question

    Im buying an ipad air 16GB, and i believe that its enough space for me. I plan on using it for everything that i use my iphone for, when im at home and just relaxing. So instead of  watching youtube videos, reading, or surfing instagram or tumblr on that small screen of an iphone, i can now use my ipad.
    Im going to use my iphone or mp3 for music, so that isnt going to take up space on the ipad
    I watch movies on my laptop that i connect to my Tv
    I play games on my ps4 (ill only have a few games like flappy bird and so on, on the ipad, so that isnt a problem)
    So all the GB are gonna go to apps bacically, which makes 16GB enough, right?
