Israel Lifts Ban on Apple's iPad, Communications Ministry Says

Good news for travelers to Israel.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-04-24/israel-lifts-ban-on-apple-s-ipad-com munications-ministry-says.html

"Not certified" is different from "not compatible". The former just means that the iPad may, and probably does, comply with all standards but that the Israeli government hasn't tested and confirmed it yet. Note the referenced article says:
"The ministry's engineers have been unable to compromise on testing the iPad's compliance and suitability with Israel's wireless networks, and thus have rejected a categorical approval. "
The iPad is, as the others have said, almost certainly in compliance. The Israeli government is apparently just arguing amongst themselves about what the standards really are and how to test the device.
If you have questions about the accuracy of these reports and how it's all going to be resolved, it would we best for you to contact the Israeli customs department directly for an official statement.

  • I am unable to use apps on my iPhone 3GS, apple TVs & iPad mini - Airport Express

    I currently have an airport express and Netgear ADSL2+ modem.  I also have an iPhone 3GS, 2 apple TVs, iPad mini, and iMac (circa 2008). The only device that is working properly is the 2008 iMac. All other devices show that I have 5 bar signal but do not allow me to use any of the apps (ie: Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) I have ran speedtest on all devices, ping and download speed are as expected. Ping: 150 ms, Download: 2.7 mbps, Upload 0.68 mbps from iMac. The only difference is that upload speed on iPhone and iPad mini does not register. I feel like the issue is with the modem or the airport? Do I need the airport extreme even though I show 5 bar signal strength on all devices or do I need a new modem from Verizon in hopes that it will get me a better connection on a device that they support? (they do not support the Netgear modem I currrently have).

    iPhone 4 isn't supposed to be able to mirror:

    @Chris:
    I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
    I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
    of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

  • HT204053 Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id.  do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

    Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id.  do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

    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.

  • HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
    Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

  • After upgrading to itunes 11 home  sharing to all devices, apple tv, ipad, itouch, doesn't work, or doesn't work for long. How do I fix it?

    I followed a tutorial to downgrade back to iTunes 10.7, which worked but the home sharing still having issues. It will stream for a few minutes and then kick me out and tell me I need to turn on homesharing. If I restart itunes I can watch again for another few minutes before it kicks me out. I have adjusted my energy saver settings to see if that was the problem, (which it worked perfectly before the update with the same energy saver settings) That didn't help. What can I do to fix it?  All of my home entertainment has been digitized to run through my 2 apple tvs, ipad, ipod touch, imac, macbook and then Apple goes and screws me with an assanine software update that renders all of their products worthless!
    I have reset, reboot and restored my apple tv, so I know it is not that. And like I said, everything streamed perfect before I updated to Itunes 11 a couple weeks ago.
    Any help would be great!!

    If you post under the Home Sharing forum you may get a more detailde answer. This is just iTunes for Mac

  • Why wont my netflix connect to HD TV through chromecast. No problem connecting youtube from apple mini ipad

    My apple mini ipad will connect you tube to my HD TV through chromecast.  Why won't my netflix on my mini ipad connect to my HD TV through chromecast?

    Could you specify what brand, model, and ports the TV has?
    Perhaps the maker of the digital TV has customer support.
    Unless that's part of the issue, a general lack of it there, too.
    However remote that may be, a few have a web page with
    pictures of the back or end of their product with ports in view.
    And/or a schematic of the kinds of gremlins they have inside.
    Was your MB/Pro a certified Apple Store refurbished 'special deal' or bought at a retail store from existing stock that may have been an older model?
    In either case, the ability to return the item has a limited duration from the date of purchase; unless there is a technical issue whereby they may choose to repair or replace a failed component or device. Perhaps someone with more experience with the device and adapters will offer their take on what to attempt next.
    Sorry you've had so much trouble...
    Good luck in any event.

    So we just got a new Macbook and I also installed the apple configurator tool. I'm using it to prepare the iPads for deployment and it won't let me prepare them? It gets an error stating "retrieving iOS info from apple" then it stops and says "internet error". My Internet connection is fine with the Mac-book. It shows the iPad is listed under the Prepare logo up top as 1 but under supervise none are shown. Although it does show itself in iTunes. Also the profile I created is fresh and has no errors. We have tryed nearly everything I cna think of and online forums are not giving us to much info on this error. 

    A wag at this.  A port issue?
    "Apple Push Notification network setup
    When MDM servers and iOS devices are behind a firewall, some network configuration may need to take place in order for the MDM service to function properly. To send notifications from an MDM server to Apple Push Notification service, TCP port 2195 needs to be open. To reach the feedback service, TCP port 2196 will need to be open as well. For devices connecting to the push service over Wi-Fi, TCP port 5223 should
    be open."

  • What are the steps in Apple Configurator iPad restore? It appears to me that Configurator repeats steps, but it probably is that I don't know what happens and when.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • HT3209 purchase a movie on Apple TV and cannot find it on other Apple TVs in the house or on my ipad.  It says I have no purchases, but I was watching it yesterday, but the reception was so bad that I stopped and wanted to view it today.

    I purchased a movie on Apple TV and cannot find it on other Apple TVs in the house or on my ipad.  It says I have no purchases, but I was watching it yesterday.  The reception was so bad that I stopped and wanted to view it today.  It has a link to other movies I might like based on buying that movie so its strange it says I had no purchases.

    Ok problem solved; signing out of iTunes account and signing back in solved it.

  • Can anyone guide me on how to retrieve a stolen Apple 1 IPad ?

    Can anyone help me how I could retrieve a stolen Apple 1 IPad ?  I have the Walmart receipt for it.

    Unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to try and locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If it was stolen and you haven't already done so then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc., and if it was a cellular model then you should contact your carrier.

  • Apple's iPad case - How to get iPad out of?!?

    As snug as the case is, once an iPad is in Apple's iPad case, I can't seem to get it out of the case! Is there a simple trick to getting the iPad out of Apple's case?

    First open the flap holding it in.
    Then, with the front cover open and away from you (iPad is face up and the right edge is toward you) pull the edge of the case that is facing you toward you about 1/4 inch until it drops over the edge of the iPad.
    Then, use both thumbs to push on the iPad while using the fingers of both hands to hold the edge.
    After it has moved about 1/2 inch release the edges, grab the outer edge with your off hand (left if you are right handed) using your left thumb and forefinger and use the thumb of the other hand to push the iPad out and away from you. Try to keep the thumb in the center of the iPad so it doesn't bind.
    After doing this a couple of times you will get to where you can remove even a tightly bound iPad in about three seconds.
