  • Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    EASY SIMPLE FIX....
    The problem is Google.
    I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
    It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
    Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
    FIX:
    Logon to Google...
    Go into your Google account preferenes
    DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
         (it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
    Thats it. Your'e done.
    Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
    You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
    There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
    (and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
    Hope this helps someone.

  • We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting messages and FaceTime for my 13 yr old daughter.  Do I have to create a different Apple ID for her?

    We just got 2 iPad air today and Set up both with the same Apple ID, now I'm getting FaceTime and messages for my 12 yr. old.  Do I have to set up a separate Apple ID  for her to avoid this?

    It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
    The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
    To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs.

  • My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

    My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall  not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

  • My ipad air won't charge. I am using the correct cable supplied with it. I have restarted it and it still won't work.

    My iPad air won't charge. I am using the cable suppied. It shows the charging icon for a split second then says not charging. I have tried re starting and nothing changes.

    How could Microsoft come up in a forum about an Apple problem?  We have heard for years how superior Apple products are but we've never had as many headaches and problems with our Windows PCs over the years as we have with the Apple devices we now have.  My wife has the most recent iPad and my son has the most recent ipod Touch. Earlier problems notwithstanding, the iOS 7 upgrade was horrible and hard to imagine for a device where the company controls all of the hardware and the software with no variants.  As for Microsoft, I can say I have programmed on many various platforms from PolyForth to Unix to Windows and .NET.  I think what many Apple users don't understand about Windows is the sheer magnitude of variables in making the software and all upgrades work for such a myriad array of hardware platforms and usage scenarios across an enormous number of partners and small to large enterprises.  Anyone who has worked with a large integrated system can get a sense of this.  I work in healthcare and our HIS system is rated #1 in it's class (built on a derivitive of an old MIT OS) but due to it's vast integration capabilities and the variety of usage and setup variables from site to site, it requires daily dilligence in error reporting and resolution across all of it's applicaitons.  Microsoft Windows works and integrates with a massive number of other Microsoft client and server solutions that are used by the vast majority of enterprises in the world. It's no small feat to keep the Microsoft software stack in good working order.  Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but I wish we could past this ABM mentality that pervades online forums. I'm not sure if you've noticed but the Apple forums are jam packed with folks like yourself and me having problems with Apple hardware or software so I'm not sure where we can say one is better than the other, even if you could carve out some realistic benchmarks from which we could compare them on an even playing field. 
    With all the said, and I apologize but feel that the Anti MS anecdotes belong left long in the past, but any ideas on how we can get the supplied power cables to charge the devices they came with? I don't believe I've ever encountered a problem at the power cable level like this in which 2 cables are not working on 2 different devices. I think it points to software problems but as someone else mentioned about display settings, I'm not sure how your display settings affect the charging of a device in a non display mode. Would that suggest the thunderbolt cables are not capable of delivering enough charge to keep up with idle power consumption? 

  • Greetings, everyone. I just bought an iPad Air and after setting it up, received the following email, which looks scammish to me.

    Somehow I didn't finish my question. It was: Greetings, everyone. I just bought an iPad Air and after setting it up, received the following email, which looks scammish to me.(Partially reproduced below.)  Or is it legitimate?
    "You’ve taken the added security step and provided a rescue email address. Now all you need to do is verify that it belongs to you."

    This is genuine if you have submitted Rescue email address (tap to enlarge)

  • IPad Air won't charge with ipad made adapters but only with iPhone's

    My ipad air won't charge with any ipad made adapters! but will charge with my iPhone adapter. Oh and I bought my charger and adapter for my iPhone (that I now use for my iPad Air) at a store that doesn't relate to the officials apple store for only 12 dollars sadly when I charge my iPad Air
    TTo let you know, my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter

    my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter
    Since your iPad charges with the phone adapter, the iPad adapter (that is made by who knows) is the problem. You tried to save a few dollars and it did not work. Get a real Apple adapter and your problems will go away.

  • Just got a new ipad air and followed set up. have got a load of somebody elses photos! How do i delete these?

    Just got a new ipad air. Followed set up instructions, but have a lot of somebody elses photos. How do I delete them please?

    If its a NEW iPad, there should be nothing on it.
    If you have photos from someone else, then its either a second hand iPad or possibly a Demo unit.
    In which case you should return it as you may run into activation lock on a used iPad, or restrictions placed on Demo units you may not be able to bypass.
    Whoever sold you this, did not sell you a new iPad.

  • My Ipad air won't turn on after the new IOS7 update

    my Ipad Air won't turn on after updating to the new IOS 7.1.1. It ask me for my password I put it in, the apple logo appear and then it want off now it won't come back on. need help please

    Did you 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • IPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case

    iPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case cover, it does not do it all the time but enough to concern me

    Take both the iPad and the Smart Cover back to where you bought them for an evaluation. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • IPad air won't connect to Bluetooth speaker?

    My new iPad air will not connect to my Vizio Bluetooth speaker.  When I put both devices in discover mode, the speaker is listed on the iPad, but will not connect?  The speaker connects just fine to my iPhone, or to my older (original) iPad.  I have re-booted the iPad, and powered down(unplugged) the speaker, but no help. 

    Bluetooth on my iPad air won't find my android phone, but the phone has apparently paired with the iPad. They just won't talk. Same problem with my wife's iPad 4, won't discover anything at all! I know that Apple is known for not communicating with non Apple products but this is ridiculous. Any ideas? Thanks ;)

  • Ipad Air won't open in My Computer

    Hi,
    My Ipad Air won't open in My Computer on my PC. My Iphone and older Ipad open just fine, but my newer one won't. It shows up fine in Itunes.
    I'm trying to get on it to see about copying photos. My PC has, for some reason, converted a bunch of my photos to the .ithmb suffix and they won't open on my PC. This whole episode is baffling. Any help would be appriciated.

    Hello BHP11,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your iPad Air. 
    First, if the AutoPlay dialog box does not open, the following article suggests to check your settings:
    Import photos in Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Import photos or video from your device to your PC:
    Connect your iOS device to your computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows," then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
    If the AutoPlay dialog doesn't appear, you might need to check your settings.

  • My iPad Air won't let me watch videos I bought because it says my billing is wrong but it is not

    Hi my iPad Air won't let me play the videos I bought because it says my billing address is invalided but it is not, I think it's something to do with security code

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.
    Some people don't seem to need 10.7.  Discussion suggesting iOS6 will work with iTunes 10.6.3 for some phones - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4324248

  • Updating iPad Air won't turn on. Help??!!

    I LITERALLLY just bought an iPad Air and just finished setting it up and was informed that there was a new update for my iPad so went ahead with it. It looked like it was happily updating but now the screen is completely blank, it won't respond to holding the on/off button or both the on/off button and home button at the same time.
    I've plugged it into my PC to try and restore it but iTunes is telling me that "The iPhone update server could not be contacted" with the options for OK or More Information; the latter of the two providing no help whatsoever. Without it connecting to iTunes or even turning on, I don't know how to reset it.
    Any help for my brand new (now very expensive paperweight) iPad Air would be very much appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • My iPad Air won't download any apps or app updates.

    Okay, so my iPad Air has not been downloading any apps, when I tap update it brings the download icon up but does nothing. I stop it then start it again and the loading icon just spins constantly. It's sorta the same thing when I download an app or anything else. my wifi is fine and I can connect to the internet with safari or any of my apps, I even tried it from a friends network and it did the same thing.
    A List of things I have tried:
    1. Turn off/on IPad
    2. Reset iPad, (holding lock and home for 15 seconds)
    3.  Reset network settings
    4. Reset all settings
    5. updated iPad to iOS 8.1.2
    6. signed out of iTunes threw settings>iTunes and App Store>Apple id> sign out, then restarted the iPad and signed back in
    7. Downloading things from a different and working wifi connection
    none of that has fixed it, I seriously do not want to back up and restore if at all possible because 1 it's such a hassle and 2 I have such bad luck with backups, last time I did a backup and restored from it I lost the app data for 5 of my apps 3 of them being games I loved playing (infinity blade 3, gangster vegas, modern combat 4) because no matter what I did or how many times I restored from the backup those apps would not sync over to the iPad. I had read something that I should check the Downloads tab in the ITunes store to make sure there were no downloads stuck preventing other things from downloading, but recently I noticed the download tab is no longer an option on my bar in iTunes and no icon for it in edit. same with my iPhone 6. (why would Apple remove something like that?) I searched every inch of the iTunes store and even in view your apple ID i can't find the download queue anywhere.
    Am I overlooking the download queue? Did they remove it from iOS 8? Anything else I can try besides restoring? X.x this has been going on for to long now and I just got a Jot Touch for my iPad and wanted to download some apps i could use it with but I can't because of this, I'm also missing out on holiday stuff and new games :/ If anyone can help me with this I would love you forever.

    Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.
