IPad (Retina) on iOS 6.01 bought in UK and brought to Dubai, iMessage and Facetime activated and worked in the UK but now will not activate at all. Can anyone help...
Hi
I got an iPad (Retina) on iOS 6.01 as a gift in the UK and brought to Dubai.
My Facetime/iMessage activated and worked in the UK just fine but now (even with VPN) will not activate at all.
Can anyone help...
Hi Bob
With all due respect I think you are missing my point.
I'm aware that on Apple devices bought in UAE these apps are blocked and theres nothing that can be done there. My device is bought in the UK so it has Facetime and it worked fine.
I know categorically that iMessage works in Dubai without issue for almost everyong I know on an iPhone, I also know from seeing it that Facetime + VPN works as this gives your device a UK IP.
My question is not the obtaining of these apps but why even with a VPN mine are not working when others in Dubai are?
Thanks

Sent photos from iPhone to email and messenger on iPad intercepted but now will not let me see them. Help?
If you sent the photos directly from the Photos app, it is quite possible that you selected Message rather than Mail when you emailed them to yourself. I assume that is how they ended up in the Messages app. I also assume that you no longer have the old phone or you could just email them to yourself again. Is that a correct assumption? If you cannot access the photos on the old phone any longer, and you can see them in the messages app randomly, try closing the Messages app completely and reset the device and then see if the photos reappear.
In order to close the Messages app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Messages and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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. -
My ipad 2 shows 3 app updates on the icon, but it will not pull them up. Please help
My apps icon shows 3 updates, but it will not pull the updates up when I go to updates
There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them. -
I bought my macbook pro this morning. When I turned it on it led me through set up with voice over. I finally quit VO but my pointer is not working. It moves but does not open anything. Can anyone help?

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer. -

I have updated phone to ios 5 now i cannot connect to safari can anyone help pls
The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated! -

i just upgraded my phone from ios 4 to ios 5 but now its not responding at all, its just showing connect to the itunes
If you just updated to iOS 5, then you had to hack it to do so. You can only update to the current version, which is 6.1.2.

"first generation Ipad powered down but now will not open/restart" What to do?
Please someone help me. My first generation Ipad powered down but now will not open/restart. What to do?
Well, actually that's no reset hole, that's the microphone hole...
So it won't start even when plugged in to the power? What happens, does it start to boot and not complete or does it do absolutely nothing when you press the sleep/wake button?
Have you tried plugging it into a Mac or PC running iTunes and resetting it to factory defaults from there? -

I have updated regularly and followed all instructions to solve the problems related to the constant freezes, app closes and misfires on certain apps as well as all other operating problems, but all I get is a problem. I have been trying to fix this by myself and now I am feeling like I need to go to a different tablet. I love my iPad 2, but this iOS update has brought me nothing but grief. Every time it ray to access my Netflix account, it will lock me out or ask me to sign in again, I will be playing a game and then it will open other apps randomly. I have reloaded the apps, restarted the iPad and followed all other procedures. So tell me why I should stay with apple. It is an annoying problem to have with a 500$ piece of tech that is for my enjoyment AND school. It boggles my mind that as soon as Steve Jobs leaves this earth, so does the greatness of Apple and it turns into another company that no longer cares about beta testing a new software. Advice from a consumer, wait a little longer and double test the product before unleashing it onto a public that just wants working technology. If you want me to shell out over 1500$ for a laptop, or 600$ for a tablet, then you have to be better than say Microsoft or Google. Can anyone help?
Have you tried, "resets" ??
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Have you tried retoring iOS software > iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Hi everyone,
This is my first post so if I've made any mistakes please forgive me. I have recently upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Professional however, now my iPad and iPhone are not recognised in iTunes. I have checked Device Manager and the iPad is listed, I also asked it to update the driver but it informed me that I have the most up to date version. Can anyone help please?Hi Skydiver119,
Many thanks for your prompt reply however, I found this post and it worked perfectly. I hope it helps other users.
Plug your Ipad USB cable into USB port.
Go to your Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, then click Device Manager.
Click on Portable Devices, and you should see Apple Ipad shown (or whatever apple device your using).
Right-click the Apple Device your using, and choose Update Driver Software..
Click "Browse my computer for driver software."
Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
Click the Have Disk button. (If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.)
In the "Install from Disk" dialog, click the Browse button.
Use this window to navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog.
Click Next and finish the driver-installation steps. Open iTunes to verify that the device is recognized properly. -
i've tried everything but i cant seem to find any way of doing it. can anyone please help me i just want to restore my iphone back to my ipad
Your iPad has to be running the same or higher version of iOS as you phone was in order for the backup to appear. If it isn't, you'll have to update your iPad first. There are some limitations involved in restoring an iPad to an iPhone backup to be aware of, including:
Camera Roll photos and videos are not restored. These can only be restored to another iPhone.
Third-party apps and their data will be restored but the app icon order/organization won't be.
iPhone-only apps will not be restored to an iPad. -

Apple (and no one else) can not assist (with serial number or iCloud) in finding a lost or stolen iPad.
Report to police along with serial number. Change all your passwords.
