My ipad 4th gen not detecting any contacts for airdrop

having trouble with my ipad 4th gen using the air drop.   When I go to  video hit share, it will not detect any contacts.  The ipad is on wi-fi, bluetooth (connected with my Mac mountain lion).  What else do i do?

If you're trying to use AirDrop between your iPad and you're Mac, you can't. AirDrop works only iOS-to-iOS or Mac-to-Mac. If you are trying to use AirDrop between two iOS devices, perhaps this will help:

  • Ipad 4th Gen not working at all

    Hi
    I have an iPad 4th Generation WI-FI and I got it less than 2 years ago and now it doesn't work at all. I will explain a bit more about what happened to it in more detail below. So I was taking photos with it and after I was done I turned it off or as Apple call it "sleep", well I pressed the power button in other words like everyone does, right? Then in the evening I went to go on it and it was blank and wouldn't respond but in the morning it had about 30% battery but anyway it put it on charge using the Apple adaptor and I let it charge for like 30min but when it was charging it kept on showing the Apple logo every 20 seconds but wouldn't go past it. So when I took it off charge I tried holding the Power and Home buttons at the same time for about 20 sec and after about 3 to 4 tries it showed the restore iPad sign with the Lightning cable and the iTunes logo on top of it, so I plugged it into my computer and iTunes poped up and said something like:
    iPad 4th Gen detected the device needs to be restored. (By the way my laptop is Win7 and had the latest iTunes on it) So I clicked the restore button and it said EXTRACTING SOFTWARE and after that the line stopped moving and a window came up saying: Unkown Error 4005 and 4013 and it took me to the Apple website and I did all the steps they told me to do and it didn't work and kept on saying the error thing. So I took it to an Apple store and the guy there said he waz restoring it and downloading new software for it and it ended up not workin for him either, but he told me there is nothing to do cause the 1 year warranty expired. Anyway now it doesn't show anything at all not even the restore logo, the apple logo nothing it completely blank and Ive had it on charge for like 2 hours. And I haven't dropped it or anything it doesn't have any physical damage or that. So yeah what should I do? Any suggestions will be appreciated

    Hi Try this Connect USB lead to pc hold down power button on iPad  connect Lead To iPad  still  hold button down Wait to see if pc sees iPad keep button down for upto  1 Minute. If that doesn't work  make An Appointment at Apple  Store. Cheers Brian

  • TS2634 iPad 4th Gen not charging with included apple 12w adapter & lightening cable.

    So I've only has this iPad since Xmas.
    It worked perfectly until a week ago when I started having charging issues with the stock accessories. 
    I plugged it in to the wall using the cable and adapter it came with and nothing. Not even the usual "Not Charging" message you may sometimes see when using an old computer's usb port.  However, if I turn it completely off while the cable is connected to the wall, It will charge just extremely slow (takes about 12-16 hours for a full charge).
    Its a 4th Gen iPad 16GB (Wifi only) with the latest software update 6.0.1
    Here are the steps I have taken thus far:
    I've tried isolating the problem using the accessories that came with the iPad (Cable and Adapter) and these steps below...
    1. Tried different adapters and lightening cables (all apple products btw). Some will give me the "Not Charging" message, but still the same issue. Every now and then the lighting bolt charge indicator will show up, but it either switches back to not charging or will still charge extremely slow (and yes I've even tried disabling all the radio toggles such as wifi, location services, bluetooth, push, etc...)
    2. Utilized the same steps listed with the accessories as above using different wall outlets
    3. Hard Reset (Sleep+Home) then plugging in cable before, during, & after boot logo.
    Haven't put it into DFU Mode yet & would like to avoid this for obvious reasons if possible.  Any other options I'm not thinking off?

    Make an appointment at your local apple store and take it in. there may be something wrong with the charging port or the software that tell it what to do. ANd that's something for the pros to deal with.
    If you didn't buy it at an Apple store you can take it back where you bought it (depending on their return policy but most places have 90 days)
    The reason I suggest that....I bought mine at Best Buy and it had charging issues. I took it into best buy (the closest apple store is over an hour away) and they simply exchanged mine for a new one. If you take it into apple, the policy is to exchange your malfunctioning one for a refurbished replacement.
    So I got a new device instead of a refurb. Not that refurbs are bad, sometimes they are better than the new ones, but I liked being able to walk out with a brand new device instead of a used one.
    Now if you bought it from Apple, then that's where you need to take it back to.

  • TS2771 Why does my ipod touch 4th gen not have any sound when on dock?

    My daughter's ipod touch 4th gen did work on a dock and no longer does. I have read a number of pieces of advice - download an update of iTunes, reset to original settings, neither seems to have helped. As it is less than 12 months old, do you think I return this as it is still under warranty? She got a dock for Christmas and is VERY disappointed that her iPod does not work on it, even though her old CHinese copy of an ipod (1st) will work on the dock. HELP!

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Ipad 4th Gen not syncing with iTunes

    Hi everyone, as you know ios7 just came out and i upgraded my ipad. Well after i upgraded it to ios 7 my ipad is not syncing with itunes. It shows me a message that the computer is not authorized. I tried to authorize it and it shows me that its already authourized. I tried de authorizing it and re authorizing it but it still did not work. Please help me, i cannot sync my ipad! my itunes is the latest version.

    Hello Christian,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your iPad.  I recommend following the steps in the article below when iTunes repeatedly prompts for your authorization:

  • Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrintin​g

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
    Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
    Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
    When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
    (Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
    And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
    I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
    Device Configuration show this:
    Installed Personalities and Options
    PCL6           (20040201)
    AirPrint
    PCL              (20040201)
    PDF              (20040201)
    PS                 (20040201)
    I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this  might mean)
    Br,

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
    Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
    Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are  connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
    I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN,  both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
    My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
    Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
    I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
    Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.

  • Recently updated ipad (4th gen) to 8.1 and iCloud not syncing Contacts, Notes etc.

    I recently updated my iPad 4th gen to iOS 8.1 and upon setting up the iCloud, I've found that myiCloud data is not getting updated in my iPad. I o not see my contacts, notes safari bookmarks etc. I signed into iCloud.com from a PC on chrome to see if i had accidentally deleted the stuff, but it's all there. It was working fine when i was on ios 7.0.6.  I also have an iphone 5s running ios 7.0.6 on which the icloud runs very fine. i make changes on my phone and they are reflected on the browser in my pc (eg: notes edit on the iphone 5s shows a change in my browser on pc, also changes done using browser show in my iphone, but not iPad). I have tried restoring my  ipad to a clean ios 8.1, switched on and off the icloud options, signed out signed in, restarted, but nothing seems to work. My contacts, notes are empty.

    Try reset iPad.
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

    I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

    Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

  • I am not able to open or view PDF files on my ipad 4th gen.

    I am not able to open or view PDF files on my ipad 4th gen.

    Hello,
    This looks this issue is specific to this particular banking site and we definitely want to know more to help resolve this issue. It is likely that this particular functionality is not supported on Firefox and I would suggest that you report this to the bank and request them to support it soon.
    That said, there are a few things you can do from the details provided in the [[Websites don't load - troubleshoot and fix error messages]] SUMO article. Specifically, the section about [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] and reporting the website might help us provide more information.
    If this is a banking site used by any of the other volunteers who are willing to dig more to find out why, they will try to provide the resolution sooner.
    I know this is not really a resolution that will help you, but given that I don't have much information as to what is the offending part of the website causing the issue, I can only suggest this much.
    Thank you

  • Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple store

    I have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.

  • IPad 4th Gen will not access gmail/error message regarding password

    iPad 4th Gen,32GB, iOS8.1 suddenly giving error message of incorrect user name or password when trying push emails.  Steps tried so far:
    unlocked gmail account via Safari browser
    changed from fetch to push and back
    checked stmp info and turned on SSL
    rebooted iPad
    deleted gmail account
    attempted to load gmail account
    Any other fixes to try?  Problem just suddenly happened this afternoon.  Been working just fine, even after downloading iOS 8.1 over 24 hours ago.  Problem has only existed for about 6 hours.  Had exact problem with iPhone 6, 64GB, iOS 8.1 at the same time but unlocking gmail account via Safari resolved the problem on the iPhone 6.  All other apps on both devices working perfectly.

    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • How long does an iPad 4th gen last for not battery I mean in Years

    Hi .......ok so I got an iPad 4th Gen 16gb in New York last year (February 2013) and I was just wondering how long this will last, not in Battery life but in how long I can use it until it starts to get really slow and lagging and goes completely dead in years! I use my iPad regularly  maybe 4-5 hrs a day (average, sometimes more in a day and sometimes less) so can anyone help me how many years will I have my iPad before I will need a new one I keep my iPad in Great condition and no one uses bar me and I don't ever drop it or put anything illegal on it  so it is kept in great condition some people say that it depends on the size in GB on the iPad I have a 16GB white. Can anyone help me how long should I have my iPad for? Ohhh ya my iPad is running iOS 7.0.3 Thank You

    No.  Once sn iOS version comes out that is not compatible with your hardware, you cannot, obviously, update iOS any longer.  However, your iPad running the last release of iOS compatible with it will continue to run that iOS release at the same speed it always did.
    Nothing about any computer ever slows down with age - your cpu, RAM and storage all function at the same speed as they always did.  New software may add features that tax your system more than a newer system would be taxed, but nothing about your system changes just because the device ages.
    At some point, our system simply is unable to update or run newer software because that newer or updated software requires hardware features that yours simply does not have.  But your exisiting software on your existing hardware will continue to run just as it always has.
    As to when your system becomse unable to handle new software or iOS features, that is purely a matter of how quickly newer hardware comes out and how quickly software developers move to new features that your system cannot handle.
    There is no inherent reason to believe that an iPad 4 will not be compatible with the next release of iOS - it might not be, but it may very well be.  Depends entirely on what changes the next release (whenever that may be) introduces, and what new device hardware Apple may be working on.

  • I have installed iOS7 on my ipad 4, now my ipad recognises PDF's emailed to me as jpegs and cannot save them into iBooks, any solutions? iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi   Cellular (MM), iOS 7

    iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 7

    Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
    I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.
