IPad Delivery Delayed Twice - Ready To RMA At First Sight
Does anyone know Apple's refund procedure for shipments that are delayed twice? I have no clue what is going on with this shipment and I'm tired of waiting for it. I t was ordered 6 days ago and went AWOL in China for a few days. Last night it mysteriously showed up in Anchorage and said it had cleared customs.... it was first due August 24th, then August 26th... but it has not left Anchorage as of 3:30am PST.
I'm sorry for posting here, but the phone lines are not open for a couple hours yet, and I'm seriously grouchy. In all honesty, we did return an iPad earlier this month as it didn't seem to fit what we were looking for in certain areas. However, we discovered after looking at laptops that my spouse, who is permanently disabled, had problems with certain laptop aspects and the touch screen on the ipad was a better fit. So stupid me, I ordered another one.
I'm semi-superstitious and think this is a bad omen as a first time Apple switch over from PCs. At this point, I will certainly RMA this iPad and be done, as it's not worth a possible 3rd delay. Can they stop this shipment somehow and issue a refund?
I know it sounds impatient. It's not my critera, if someone says it's going to be here Aug 24, then oh no, now Aug 26, then oh no, now ... I don't know as this will be the third delay today - there really isn't a way it can be in Los Angeles by the end of the second delivery "deadline" this afternoon from Anchorage. Three delays is too much. As a plus, every Apple order from China has made it here in 3 days from shipment confirmation in the past with zero problems - a total of 8. We're going away in a week, and it's an awful lot of money for me to lose if this thing gets bounced back and forth and lost. We had sort of counted on it for the trip, but I can chalk it up to my own mistake and need to find something we can take with us to keep in touch with reality. The lack of touch screen isn't going to significantly hinder us, but it would have been a plus after all.
Ps!! I'm not knocking the product, or Apple people. What are so many people doing up so early????

I ordered an iPad a week ago and wondering how long everyone is waiting out there. My delivery time says it should arrive April 16-22 but wonder how realistic that is. I placed my order on April 8th and am VERY, VERY anxious.
Message was edited by: fgfats7-10 days delivery my ***. i'm sorry for the profanity but seriously? i ordered this on the 28th. expected this in just over a week's time. originally quoted 7th or 8th delivery.
now they asked me to wait... claimed the credit card didnt work and the bank refused the transaction... called the bank up, this was not true...
also a friend had been delivered ALL THE ACCESSORIES but the console itself. he called up CS and asked what was happening but they insisted it was transaction error when the he's got confirmation it went through ok and he's already holding the rest of the goods...
later found out the ipads were not even ready to dispatch yet, when the confirmation tracking code came through on apple store, it was only dispatched to leave for hong kong on the 7th. which is already good 10days after the purchase date.
now TNT has said if you want it ASAP you can go to the depot to collect it yourself, otherwise it would have been earliest friday delivery which is also not guaranteed. which is like what i've heard for the last 2 weeks. excuse after excuse, seriously apple, sort this out...
trade description act and everything... why are you doing this to your supporters?
if they werent apple haters in the first place, you might have given them a reason to now from the disappointment, hassle and waste of annual leave to receive nothing but a giant let down.
very unprofessional.
edit:
for those of you still looking to get an ipad, here's the *REALISTIC delivery times.*
*3-4weeks till delivery from the day of transaction on the apple store. 5weeks if you're unlucky.*

Why and how do I fix this? When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go. What gives???
It was working fine up until I upgraded the OS which I hadn't done in many versions so the ipad was not working as well as it should. Now it is searching for the network.
.Hello noodles074!
Let's get your device working again! It's possible that your device just needs to be reprovisioned on our network. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Subscriber Services>Reprovision Account. This may take several minutes. After allowing about 5 minutes for completion, please power your iPad off and back on, and test it again. Let us know if this takes care of it!
Thank you,

IPad screen cracked twice in 3 weeks - best option?
My 13 year-old son is usually very responsible with his electronics, but he has managed to crack his iPad 2 screen twice in three weeks (one accidental drop, one friend sitting on it). The first time he paid a third party vendor $150 to repair it. They did a very good job and it looked good as new. Now I'm debating what to do this time (short of confiscating it forever). In your opinion, should we:
1) Have him pay the same third party vendor to repair it again? He's trying to save for a laptop and this is making quite a dent in his savings.
2) Just buy a really good screen protector and hope for the best? Will that prevent it from getting worse? What brand do you recommend?
3) Throw ourselves on the mercy of the nearest Apple genius? I understand third party repair work will void the warranty (It will be a year old in December). Would that also prevent them from taking pity on us and offering a replacement? I understand there's no guarantee of a replacement, and that it all depends on the person and/or the store, the situation, etc. Is it even worth a shot?
The poor kid is so angry with himself, I hardly have the heart to throw a fit about this. He's already punished himself enough.
Appreciate any thoughts!See if this helps.
Reboot 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. -
Is a mini iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular ready to be used with any telephone company including companies from other countries?
Different countries have different mobile phone systems which work on different standards. An iPad sold in country C will work with whatever phone systems in country C support it. It is not guarenteed to work with every mobile phone system all over the world.

Purchased an IPad 2 and will be giving my first generation IPad to my wife. What is the easiest way to re-set the old IPad to make it ready for a new user?
Is it simply the Restore command in ITunes?Do a full sync/ back up of the old one first. Then you can sync the new one to the old backup. When you are all ready, on the i pad, goto system . General . Reset. and select erase all content. Turns the old one into out of the box condition.

Delivery Delay items stay in Outbox, office 2013 Exchange.
Hello all,
My clients have a problem with delay delivery. If they delay the delivery then it goes into outbox. Here, however, he will stay in and not go out. No matter if outlook will remain open or closed.
Cached mode is disabled.
We use Outlook 2013 in conjunction with exchange server.
Could someone help me or need more information pls ask.Hi Lynn-Li,
Thank u for your reaction.
1. Did not fix it.
2. Did not fix it.
3. Did not fix it.
4. In combination did not fix it.
When I send a mail with delivery delay and not watch in the outbox, it will send itself.
When I watch in the outbox if it is there and its marked as watched, it will not send.
It just stuns me.
Grtz,
rjrossing
Edit: Ok, the above is right. When I watch in outbox the status of the mail changes, this effects the delivery status. But when I watch the options of the mail the Delivery Delay is still checked.
So I think that the status of the mail in outbox is the problem. But its still wierd that the time and date is still checked. -
I am trying to forward on an email from my phone to the printer so that it will print. I have set up the officejet 8600 with an email address which seems to be correct. Refer below
Thanks for your help
[edited by Moderator]Hello ahbris,
Thank you for being an active member of the HP Support forums. I asked the moderator to remove your ePrint email address for your privacy. I gather that when sending an email to the your printer’s ePrint email address that you are getting an auto reply message indicating that the delivery has been delayed.
Are you still getting the same message? If not are your emails now printing when being sent to the printer’s ePrint email address?
If you are no longer getting the delivery delay message but your emails are still not printing, please follow the trouble shooting steps in the document ePrint Job Did Not Print.
Regards,

Which IPAD 2 AIR should I purchase for my first tablet
Which IPAD AIR 2 should I buy for my first tablet ? 16,64, or 128? and what is the best option ?
You're welcome. If you want to stay active the iPad is the key. I bought my first iPad last year when I was 62. A year and a half later between learning the iPad then helping out on the Forum my mind is as sharp as ever, Sure beats cross-word puzzles. When you go to buy your iPad tell the saleshelp what you plan on storing on it, 64GB might not be enough. Have them set it up for you and ask if they could show you the gestures. Remember there are plenty of helpful people here ready to help so stop back anytime with questions.

its almost 10 months,i purchased ipad2 32 3G wifi.itinially i got problem with applications and safari shut off frequently now since last 4 months my ipad starts with a message (connect iTunes)like first time start and going to restore mode and it occurs frequently.plz advise.
If you have followed the standard Apple troubleshooting processes (see user guide )
probably a trip to the local Apple Store Genius bar is called for before warranty runs out
Assuming the iPad has been released in your Country if not you may have to take it to a
neighbouring Country where it is available
This page will tell you ,via the drop down menu Countries that can support iPad

how do you transfer Apple IDs from one ipad to another iPad? I got the new ipad and gave my ipad 2 to my wife who had the first version and now I can't get my Apple ID off so she can use her Apple ID.
You don't transfer Apple ID's from one device to another one. You sign out in the settings, )the App Store and iTunes if necessary) and then sign in with the other ID.
Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID>Sign out. Them sign in with the other ID. You can sign out of the app store and iTunes as well by going to the featured Atab in the App Store and the music tab in iTunes, swipe to the bottom and access the Apple ID in there.
You should have erased the iOad before you gave it to her in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That way she could set up the iPad as new with her own Apple ID.
Be aware of the fact that if you use each others ID's in order to download past purchased content to your own iPads, you will lock yourself out of your own ID as you will have associated your iPad with the other person's Apple ID.
In other words, if you sign into your wife's ID on your iPad so that you can download an app or an album so that you don't have to pay for it again, you will lock yourself out of your Apple ID for 90 days. -

I just recently purchase an ipad with retina display it is also my first apply product and I am not liking it. First it won't stay connected to my wifi and it won't pair on my nokia N8 phone via bluetooth. Any suggestion? Thanks!
No one from Apple here - this is a user-to-user forum for the Apple Thunderbolt Display. If you don't like your iPad, sell it.
If you want to ask questions about your iPad, go to the iPad community forum.
