Is there any solution to the iPad 2 losing WiFi every 30 minutes or so?

I have a new iPad 2 (64Gb WiFi only) that I purchased about a week ago. The only problem is that every 20 or 30 miutes it looses WiFi connection. To resolve the issue I have to go into settings and either toggle airplane mode or toggle the network on then off. This doesn't have anything to do with sleep mode as it can happen while I am in the middle of using the WiFi successfully and then it just drops all of a sudden and just spins. No other wireless device on my network has this issue. This was also happening before and after the delivery of the magnetic cover so I don't think it is related to the cover. I have a friend that used his Android tab at my house with no problems at all. I see on here that this is a common problem but it looks as if nobody has addressed the issues with any type of solution. My router is a newer ( Roughly a year and a half old) Belkin N router so it's not like I am using out of date hardware and if it was the router then why just the iPad? I Reeeeeealy want to be a big Apple fan here but it's kind of hard with such a frustrating issue.

iOS 5 seems to have fixed it for me so far.

Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?

Mac OS X has reserved characters that cannot be used in file or folder names. One of them is the colon: It is used by the operating system in paths to designated separate directories and files, exactly as Microsoft uses the backslash character for the same purposed.
However, Mac OS X is 'supposed' to translate colons to another character when saving files from within an application or the Mac OS X Save dialog. The typical translation is to forward slash or dash. For example, "Bug: Colon Translation" becomes "Bug- Colon Translation". Of if I am saving a web page to a PDF, the source name of an article with this title would change to "Bug/ Colon Translation".
The bug: The above colon translation process does NOT work reliably in the Mac OS X Save Dialog with reliability. I guestimate that 95% of the time the translation of colons in source titles does NOT work. Using the example of translating a web article title to a PDF saved file, the results are typically the following: "Untitled.pdf". This forces the user to copy then paste in the actual title of the article. THEN, 100% of the time, the colon translation actually works. For example, if I have a web article titled "Bug: Colon Translation", it is extremely rare for that title to be anything but BLOCKED, resulting in 'Untitled.PDF' as the resulting title in the dialog box. When I then copy and paste the source title into the title area, replacing 'Untitled', I get: "Bug- Colon Translation".
What will happen perhaps 5% of the time: The colon translation of the source title will actually work. When this occurs, using my example above, the OS provides the following translation: "Bug/ Colon Translation". Note that when it works in this situation I get a forward slash, not a dash.
I research, read and save web articles all day long. A lot of articles use colons. I have to contend with this bug all day long every day. This bug is many years old. I can't recall when it started. But it certainly has been consistent in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard and now 10.7 Lion. Three versions of Lion are enough for me to realize that Apple is either oblivious to this bug or they don't care.
Clearly, the colon translation CAN work. It is MEANT to work. No one can dispute that. The user is NOT supposed to be messed over with 'Untitled.PDF' files. They are MEANT to have actual PDF file titles, as seen in our example above.
Therefore the question:
Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
It is incredibly annoying.

My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion.

Are there any problems using the Ipad while is is plugged into the wall and charging?

Are there any contraindications using the Ipad while it is plugged into the wall and charging???

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

Is there any solution to the message delay for iPads and iPods?

My bf and I are having problems with a delay in receiving messages between us. We both have quality Internet, but the messages will be delayed sometimes from a few minutes, hours to even a day later... Is there any solution/fix?

Hey TKat88,
Thanks for the question. The following article will provide the most relevant troubleshooting information for iMessage:

You'll also want to check that both devices are using separate Apple ID's, as this would cause problems as well.
Thanks,

Is there any difference between the iPad and iPhone cables?

Alot of people are mentioning that there's difference with the speed while syncronising/backup. I am just wondering is there any difference between the cables? and how can I distinguish it? Coz I have most of the i- products and I have just mixed up all the cables >__< Thank you!

I can confirm that iPad/iPod cables are identical. Don't know about iPhone. IF there is a difference, you'll know immediately - function or functions won't work.
There will be NO speed difference. Either the copper is present or it isn't and copper is copper.

Is there any possibilities that the ipad screen get enlarged?

Hello,
For starter, I would like to say that I don't own a tablet yet.
Now for the real question, with the new technologies everyday and with all the competition between the companies, is apple going to enlarge the size of the ipad screen or do they see it fine as it is?
Its because every year or every 6 months there is a new product coming and the competition between the brands are getting higher and I cannot afford to change a product every year so how long should the ipad lives with me? And why I should choose Apple? (Beside the below message)
What I liked about the Apple is the quality of built and apps, but in other brands I am finding larger screens higher performance and an external slot for an SD card to expand the memory.
Thank you

Nobody here knows Apples future plans.
You can use an iPad for as long as you want. Nobody forces you to buy a new one every year. Apple usually provides OS updates to older devices for at least a few years.
Buy the tablet that suits your needs best.

Are there any differences between the iPad and iPhone chargers I.e. Volts, amps etc

Someone I know said that although they are compatible, they charge the devices at different rates. Any truth in this?

iPad charger is 2amps.
iPhone is 1 amp.
The iPhone charger will charge the iPad, but at a slower rate.

Wanted to see if this app really works so far im at:

Is there away to authenticate the iPad to Wireless without a username and password? (i.e. Device Authentication)

I am contracting for a college and they want to automatically configure 30 iPads for use on their enterprise wireless network.
Current wireless settings are 802.1x using PEAP MSCHAPv2. Users authenticate using their Active Directory accounts. They do have a few PCs setup to do machine authentification using the machines AD account. Is there any equivalent for the iPad?
They are willing to open a new SSID if they need to go to another authenication method in order to use certificate authenication.

Is Radius involved?

Any solution to the X battery problem?

Hi all,
I´m one more of the affected for the X battery problem after the firmware upgrade. Is there any solution to the problem rather than sending the macbook to apple?
Thanks in advance, Simon.

it's definitely NOT the firmware update, as evidenced by the fact that i haven't installed either of the two recent firmware updates yet.
see the discussion in the macbook PRO threads.
they're sending me a new battery for free, and they'll do the same for you.
this is happenning to so many mb's and mbp's that it's becoming an expensive issue for apple :o(.

Any solution to the glare off the screen on my MacBookPro 13"?

Is there any solution to the glare off the screen on my MacBookPro 13"? Main usage is in photography.

Hi Richard,
I have to agree with SU. I don't want to sound flippant, but the other option would be to use it in a totally dark room. I know, not real practical. Although they say "never say never," I think it's safe for me to say, since CRTs have exited the scene, I'll never purchase anything with a glossy display.

IPad 2 losing WiFi Router seems fine

The device is an iPad 2, just for reference.
About a year ago, our router went kaput, and we replaced it. I noticed, not only on the iPad but other devices, the range seemed to be not as good, with the bars one or two less. But, the internet speed didn't seem to be affected, so we didn't worry about it.
This router works fine with all our other wireless devices, so it doesn't seem to be in the router itself. However, the iPad wifi works just fine in other locations, so it doesn't seem like the problem is the iPad either. The iPad doesn't pick up the router unless within 3 feet of it. If you move beyond 3 feet, it loses the connection entirely.
A few weeks ago, the iPad started losing Wifi periodically, and then within the last week, it has become more and more frequent, until the point it lost Wifi entirely unless immediately next to the router.
I know this question has been investigated about 1001 times. I have looked at numerous questions and answers, and tried them all. Updated the firmware on the router, changed the brightness settings on the iPad, tried it in Static on the iPad, Every solution that people threw out there, I have tried and it has been unsuccessful.
Has anyone else run into this and/or found a fix?

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 drooping 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

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
