My actual (brand new) iPad screen appears to have bubbles after on it after I removed a screen protector. HELP
Can someone help:
I bought a new iPad from the Apple Store in Danbury CT the day before yesterday (it's a Verizon iPad). I bought a screen protector for it today and after deciding to remove it, was left with bubbles on the actual screen itself.
Any thoughts.....Thanks.
I just really find it hard to believe that the screen itself has bubbles in to, but we can't see the device. Why don't you take it to an Apple Store and have a genius look at it? Or take it back to Verizon, since they put the screen protector on it.
Is the touch screen responsive ... It works OK?

I have just dropped my brand new iPad when the smart cover slipped. Any ideas on cost to replace screen as it has shattered. Thanks in advance.
Flat rate $299.
Actually, they won't replace the screen, they'll replace it. The following is a C&P from the link that I gave you.
"If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below." -
Anyone who can help me?

New iPad 3 - do i HAVE to install iOS6 during activation?
Hello -
I would like to stick with the iOS 5 for the time being (until the Google Maps app is back or something equivalent), and I am wondering what the options are with a brand-new iPad 3 / iPad touch / iPhone 4S. I faintly remember that I did not have to connect to itunes setting up my father's iPad last year - all that was necessary was getting an Apple ID for him. Also, I do remember having read somewhere that for activating an iPod Touch, no iTunes necessary and no installations.
Am I remembering correctly?
Is this also the case for the iPod Touch?
I would think it is NOT the case for the iPhone...
Can anyone explain why some devices need to have the newest iOS installed upon activation, and others not? What is the discerning feature? Phone services?
Thank you very much!Hello -
I can't believe that no one knows anything about this, so I must have either asked something really outlandish or phrased my question insufficiently clearly -
Is there a way to operate a brand-new iPad 3 (which I have yet to buy) without activating it in itunes (by which I might risk being forced to update to iOS 6)?
Or are activation and synchronisation of new devices in iTunes completely independent of availableiOS updates? For example, could I connect a new iPad or iPhone to my itunes, activate it and synchronise it WITHOUT being shoehorned into an iOS update?
If these questions seem to make no sense because, for example, one is NEVER forced to update to the latest iOS when activating a new device such as the iPad/iPhone through itunes, then I would appreciate information along those lines very much as well, because I simply don't remember. Last time I bought a device and activated it was an iPhone 4S which I regrettably updated to iOS 6 on the 23rd of September. I did a number of restores from old backups because someone told me that for a short period Apple keeps the new and the previous iOS available, but here you ARE forced to update to the latest iOS, no choice was given. Possibly these different issues are being mixed up with each other in my memory.
I would appreciate any helpful input on the topic, thank you.
Best regards, minutes -
My brand new iPad has flickering lines across the centre of the screen. It has just been taken out of it's box! Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas or simply take back to store?
This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps
My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution? -
What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?
Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now. Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there. Any ideas??
Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Best,

My brand new ipad freezes completly on safari
I have a brand new ipad. Safari won't work at all. Frozen. Can cooneect to web through Istore and wifi. tried restoring factory setting. makes no difference?
Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that didn't help - clear Safari and restart.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
A third thing that you can try is to reset your iPad.
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 - let go of the buttons. -
Brand new iPad (bought today) stuck in restore mode.
I just purchased a brand new iPad 32gb Wifi. I had it working great and was loving it. I put it down on the couch next to me in sleep mode and a minute later I look down and it is on the "connect to iTunes" screen. I tried to do a restore multiple times and keep getting errors 9 or 28 during the restore process. Is my iPad a lemon???
After about 20 attempts last night, letting it charge overnight, and then another 5 attempts this morning (no exaggeration!), it finally restored. In the process of syncing all the data (which I'd already loaded yesterday) but it appears to be working normally again.
I'd just like to know if there is anything to be worried about. The iPad was asleep when the "connect to iTunes" message first appeared. I'd really like to know the root cause of this issue to be sure it won't happen again. I travel alot and the whole point of buying this $600 toy was to enjoy it while traveling. If this is going to happen again while I'm away from a computer, I might as well return it. -

Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute) -
I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!
1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer. -
I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by either iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Anybody a solution for this?
Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again! -
my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.
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

Slow Backup. Brand New iPad... 8+ hours already!
I got a brand new iPad the other day, and when I first turned it on and activated it I downloaded a few apps. The main app I've been using is MangaDL to read manga on the go (comics). Last night, before sleeping I tried my first sync/backup and now when I wakeup it's still not done!!! This is absolutely not right. I barely even have 2GB worth of things inside the iPad!
Now I've read other forum posts about slow backup speeds... but as soon as it gets technical it seems everyone is talking about Windows. Just as a note, I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.4. I just upgraded from Tiger 2 days ago.HI,
No way it should take that long.
Since you just upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard, check the startup disk for errors that may need repairing. You need your Mac install disc for this. Your profile indicates you have two Macs. Make sure and use the machine specific disc that came with the Mac you tried the backup with.
Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
(In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space

Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?
The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

IPad rings when iPhone rings since iOS8 upgrade
I have an iPad (Model MC774LL/A) and an iPhone 6, both of which I have updated to the latest iOS 8. Since that update, whenever my phone rings (incoming phone call, not a FaceTime call), my iPad also rings. FaceTime allows such dual ringing, but my p
