Is apple providing ipads under iOS 6? Even refurbished?

Hi,
My iPad 3 started to show strange behavior yesterday, pretending to "download" apps when I was trying to launch them, then failing to download them.
No way to close them, only delete them.
Thus I decided to restore the latest backup, not an update. I was under iOS 6 and don't want iOS 7 (aka Android).
Despite the fact I said NO to all update request, and to stop asking me about updating, it did.
Now I'm left with that 7.1.1 tablet. I'm very upset to say the least.
Since there is no way to go back to iOS 6.n, does anybody know whether Apple still provides iPads under iOS 6 in the refurbished program or are they forcing that iOS7 on each of them now?
Any link? I'm not willing to buy from eBay, only an official refurbished iPad under iOS 6.
Thanks for any help

To globally close this topic...
I found a Wifi64Gb with iOS 6.1.2 and will remain with this, just as I won't move out of Maverick for the same reasons (next OS/X is likely to get the same iOS7 "design").
No, Win95/7 did not excite me at all. Windows products are no OS to me, even though 90% of my developments are targeted at them (I have no choice).
No I never changed the interface of my software in a manner that the end user finds something totally different. The only adjustments were what was requested by my users, like menus, functionalities, but not the look and organizational flow.
I changed designs and/or way of using the software only for new products that started with an empty user base.
Yes, if I toss Apple in the future for Android or Windows it's because at least I would buy the "real thing", not an OS that then changes to be a pale copy of an already bad product, without questions asked, imposed and no way to get back.
At least when MicrobeSoft released the "ribbons" instead of the menus, you still could use previous Office versions and buy them, you were not forced to get the Ribbons.

How is it possible to cancel (not suspend) a video download from iTunes Store (iPad under iOs 6)? (I do not have sufficient storage space on my iPad)

Hi,
I am facing the following difficulty with my iPad (model MD369NF/A) under iOs 6.1.3.
I have bought 2 videos on iTunes Store, but I do not succeed in downloading them: an error message mentions that iPas does not have enough storage capacity.
As a matter of face, when I look at the way the storage is used, I find “Others” for around 10 Go (is there some king of reserved space for the downloading of videos from iTunes Store?), and only a very small number of Mo available.
I would simply like to cancel the downloading of the 2 videos, and hope that it would free the "Others" storage space (in the hypothesis that "Others" is space reserved for videos once downloaded), but I do not manage to do it. I can suspend the downloading, but I do not see how to cancel it.
Would you have a solution to propose ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nicolas

Hey Nicolas36,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. You'll want to connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes to follow the steps:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.

You can more than one copy of the QuickTime Player app but you can have only one QuickTime set of "frameworks".
Move 6.5 from Applications folder to your Desktop and change its name (I used 6.5 in the name).
Double check the QuickTime Sys Prefs/Register to make certain it is Pro.
Install version 7.
Now you have two QuickTime Player apps. Old on the Desktop and new in the Applications folder. Use the About QuickTime menu in each and you'll see 6.5 is running "on top" of version 7.

What should I do to have via apple/via iPad/via ios on my Facebook Status?

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

No event updates on iPad under iOS 7.04

Perhaps this was always a problem, but I have only noticed it since upgrading our iPads (1 iPad2 & 1 iPad3) to iOS 7.
When I modify an event in Outlook 2013 and send an update of the invitation to an iPad user
No add/update option is visible in iPad's Mail.
No change is visible in the iPad Calender.
When clicking on the ics attachment in the received update message iPad Mail, the information displayed is the data of the original invitation / event, not the updated information.
This applies to changes in the subject, location and notes fields, I haven't yet tried changing the time/date.
Even if I uninvite an iPad user and send an update
No option to remove the event from the iPad Calender is visible in Mail.
The only way I have found to remove the event from the invitee's iPad Calender is to decline it on the iPad.
What is going on here?
Why aren't the changes / updates in the events / invitations recognized on the iPad?
How can I get this to work as expected?
TIA for any tips!

P.S. The problem also occurs with invitations sent by other e-mail programs (Thunderbird/Lightning) and changes in time are also not respected.

Behaviour of Smart Cover on iPad Under iOS 7

Since upgrade to iOS 7 I can't seem to get the Smart Cover to work as I would expect. Assume that I have enabled the "lock / unlock" in settings. Pass code lock is off, and auto lock is set to 2 minutes. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks. And worth a try.
Strangely, I have a Logitech thin keyboard / cover that *does* work. And (worryingly) I can make the device sleep with the Smart Cover by taking it off the iPad, and waving the magnet at the top right of the iPad screen. This is a current generation of the iPad, but an earlier generation of the Smart Cover. Could it be that there has been a design change that makes the earlier cover work less reliably? Or might the strength of the magnet in the Logitech cover have "done something" to the sensor to make it less easily activated?
All part of life's rich tapestry.

There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3. the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8. Is that possible?

I have a "company provided Ipad" now using IOS 6.1.3. the company Will allow me to upgrade to IOS 7 but not to IOS 8. Is that possible?

No, since the iPad 2 is iOS 8 compatible it can only be updated to iOS 8. Apple does not support upgrading to interim iOS versions, and removes those files from the servers when a new version is released. The only path for that iPad 2 is iOS 8.0.2.

Set up old iPad under new Apple ID?

I bought my mother an iPad last year (she is not at all computer literate and doesn't own a PC or mac). I set up the iPad using my own Apple ID because she doesn't have one, doesn't use a mac or the iTunes/App Store, and it was easier to load some family photos and apps for her that way. BUT with iMessaging etc, she now receives messages that I am simultaneously receiving on my iPhone and Macbook. That's not good. Usually they are texts between my iPhone and my son's iPhone, but not always. I deselected iMessage on mom's iPad settings, but she still occasionally receives messages (iChats and texts) meant for me.
Is the best solution just to start back at the beginning and set up the iPad under her own Apple ID? If I do remove my Apple ID, will I lose everything she has stored on the iPad (photos, email, etc)? Thanks for any suggestions.

She can continue to use your AppleID for all purchased material, even iCloud if you wish to do that.
However, if you truly wish to separate iMessage and iCloud accounts on the two devices, just create a new AppleID for her (use a free email account, gmail, yahoo, AIM/AOL, MS-live, whatever). You can use her AppleID for just her iCloud and iMessage accounts, and use your AppleID for the iTunes & App stores (so all current loaded purchased content will be untouched).
Anyone can have as many AppleIDs as they wish, and you may use a different one for every Apple service if you wish.
iCloud (email, online backup, etc), and iMessage have nothing to do at all with your purchased content through the iTunes or App store nor your accounts associated with those stores.

After updating my iPad to IOS 8.1.2, I am unable to access the Cloud with my password, even though it worked on my Macmini. I changed the password and it still does not work on the iPad. What can I do to get iPad to recognize my Apple ID/password account?

I would be helpful to know what those "basic steps" you have already tried are, but lacking that information:
Settings app > iTunes & App Stores - sign out of your AppleID
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Sign back into your AppleID (same location as noted above)

Well, if it's that annoying to you, I'd go to the nearest apple store, but before you do, you should make reservation to see the genius there. I'm sure they will help you. Just show them where the stuck pixel(s) are.
But honestly, though I don't want to be a downer here, but even if you get it replaced, the possibility that you might get more stuck pixels when you get a new one. But of course, you can also be lucky that you can get a perfect one too. Usually stuck pixels should fix it self (not all the time tho).

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.
