Is the iPad with Retina and Wifi considered an iPad 3 or an iPad 4?

I just bought the iPad with Retina and Wifi (no data plan) from the apple store and I am looking to buy accessories but can't figure out if I purchased the iPad 3 or 4.

It should be an iPad 4 if you bought it direct from Apple (though that will depend upon what country that you are in as it hasn't been released in all yet). What type of connector does it have ? If it has the smaller lightning connector then it's an iPad 4, if it's the old style 30-pin connector then it's an iPad 3 - you can also type in the serial number (Settings > General > About > Serial Number) in on this page and that should tell you : https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

IPad with cellular and wifi and a cheap end laptop or just a MacBook Pro/Air?

Hi guys
I'm a first year studying dentistry and my current laptop(Dell XPS M1530) have crashed so I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop.
It has lasted 5 years and looking for something to take me another 5 years. I hear the iPad is selling faster than the macs.
I have two options:
Option 1: an iPad with cellular and a cheap laptop to run the iPad as it is very dependent on iTunes
Option 2: a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air
I currently have an iPhone 5
I mainly browse the Internet, type documents, download music and watch movies
Which option should I go for and why should I go for that option?
Thanks :)

I do not think a tablet should take the place of a laptop. They are convenient and fun, but as you prepare documents, I think a Macbook Pro would be a better choice. Typing on a tablet is not as capable on a tablet. The Macbook Pro could be expected to last longer than a cheap laptop and you could always add a tablet later if you want one.

How long does am ipad with retina and cellular take to charge?

I have been charging my ipad over 40 minuets and its only charged 7%. Is this right?

Are you charging with the charger included with the retail box?
If not other Apple charges may take longer to charge the iPad...

My camera on my latest generation IPAD with Retina 128GB is not allowing my camera to flip, away from me. It is a dark screen when I'm trying to take a picture. I've only had it literally 2 days. Any suggestions on solving this.

My I pad with Retina and wifi+cellular will no longer allow my camera to flip away and take photos. I've reset settings and it still will not allow me. Before I went to bed it worked. It now only shows a black screen like there is a cover on it. Any suggestions?

I don't think you are alone, I cannot advise but I am having the same issue and have posted here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23205752#23205752
I suspect it's to do with IOS7 but not everyone is affected, mine was working before. I have read on some forums that Apple have just replaced the iPad as they have not been able to resolve the issue. If yours is new I would take it back and ask to try another with IOS7 installed before swapping.

IPad with retina displaying wrong memory usage amount

I am using a 4th gen iPad, (iPad with retina and lighting port) and I have the 32gb with cellular version. Right now, my cellular is not active, but I'm with Telus, not sure if that matters. I'm running iOS 7.0.4. A few weeks ago, I realized I was running low on space, so I deleted a bunch of apps on my iPad, deleted tons of photos, etc. It said I had about 3gb of space available before I did that, but after, it only said I had about 6gb left. I have added up the memory usage of each app, and it only comes to about 13gb used, yet the usage says I have used up 21gb, and I only have about 6.5gb free. Even though I should have like 20gb free. I have turned my iPad on an off a few times with no change, I have restarted my iPad by holding down the home and power buttons, and still nothing. This is concerning me as to where this extra 8-9gb is being taken up. I should have a max capacity of 28gb, but my system says I am using up 21gb with 6gb free. Where as my math by adding up each apps usage only adds up to about 13gb or less. I have iTunes Match turned on, by my music app shows only 266mb used.
Anybody else having this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Just a note: you may find the memory clock weird, but I have overclocked it to its nominal capacity (the memory chips are 4 ns).

HT1695 My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It used to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

My new iPad with Retina Display is not able to connect to the Wi-Fi of my new Time Capsule. It use to connect, but now it just spins and spins and never connects. I've tried rebooting everything many times.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Will there be a trade-in offered for the New iPad and the iPad with Retina Display?

I don't really understand what's going on. I bought The New iPad in early August and was told that it was the one with Retina Display and it was the top of the line. I cannot find a "New ipad" on Apple's website. In fact, the only iPad with Retina Display is one with the lightning connector. I'm utterly confused and feel very jipped. Can anyone maybe explain to me? Where has the "iPad 3" gone on the website? And will I be able to do a trade for the newest considering I just bought it?
Thanks
Kelsey

The iPad 4, which is now also called the iPad with retina display, essentially replaces the iPad 3, which is no longer available except as a refurbished product. The naming is confusing, as both the iPad 3 and iPad 4 had a retina display. The iPad 4 has the same price points but with a fater processor, better Facetime camera, lightning connector, and faster wi-fi. As soon as it came out yesterday, the iPad 3 was removed from the Apple store. It has essentially been discontinued.
People who bought the iPad 3 within the last 14 days can return it no questions asked. There are stories about some stores allowing an exchange for the iPad 4 if you bought the iPad 3 within the last 30 days, but there's nothing official from Apple on that, and it seems to vary from store to store. I called my local Apple store, and they said no, but I'm waiting for a call back from a manager to confirm this.
I think you may be out of luck trying to return or exchange it at the Apple Store, but you can look a selling it and putting the money toward a new model. Here's a link to an article with some info that may help:
http://9to5mac.com/2012/10/24/top-places-to-trade-a-third-generation-no-so-new-i pad-for-cash-or-credit/
Good luck. It's definitely a lousy thing for Apple to do to iPad 3 users.

Hi ravelvanto,
mine too (iPad 3/WiFi) hasn't this features.
Especially the flash can't be realized because there is a simple lack of a flash light.
Why there is no compass, calculator (I'm using the Wolfram App instead), or the weather app etc. I don't know...

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.

What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

My ipad does not have the amount of GB on the back and in the settings it says 56gb! Also there is no setting called regulatory. It is an ipad 4 retina w wifi that i got as a Christmas present. Could it be a fake? How can i tell?

The amount of storage that is shown on the box and in Settings are calculated differently - the package uses 1 billion bytes as a gig (i.e. decimal), whereas in Settings it's shown as the binary definition : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
Also some space has been used for iOS, the built-in app and some space is lost due to formatting.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
