IIPad Air slide to unlock takes several attempts to open.
THoughts? Hard reset?

Ok I'm now a firm believer in using Apple power adapters. The above mentioned iPad air was connected to a 3 plug/USB Belkin power adapter. Tech support suggested plugging into apple adapter. If that didn't work do a restore.
knock on wood the Apple adapter fixed the problem.
Wondering how and why? power requirements of the iPad? USB on Belkin was interfering?

My iPad air won't charge. I have used both the charge cord that came with it, and a second that I bought at the Apple store. I have used both the charger that came with the iPad, and others that are working with other iPads. It charged yesterday.

My iPad Air will not charge. I have used its original charge cord, and a second Apple lightning cord. I have used the original charger and others that I have confirmed do work. It charged yesterday, no problem.

Before going to the Apple store carefully examine the lightning port to make sure no fuzz or other foreign stuff has gotten in there. There are not that many things that can prevent an iPad from charging. You've tried a different cable, different charger and hopefully the reset suggested by Barry in the previous post. Check for debris and if the port is clear Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

My ipad air won't charge. I am using the correct cable supplied with it. I have restarted it and it still won't work.

My iPad air won't charge. I am using the cable suppied. It shows the charging icon for a split second then says not charging. I have tried re starting and nothing changes.

How could Microsoft come up in a forum about an Apple problem? We have heard for years how superior Apple products are but we've never had as many headaches and problems with our Windows PCs over the years as we have with the Apple devices we now have. My wife has the most recent iPad and my son has the most recent ipod Touch. Earlier problems notwithstanding, the iOS 7 upgrade was horrible and hard to imagine for a device where the company controls all of the hardware and the software with no variants. As for Microsoft, I can say I have programmed on many various platforms from PolyForth to Unix to Windows and .NET. I think what many Apple users don't understand about Windows is the sheer magnitude of variables in making the software and all upgrades work for such a myriad array of hardware platforms and usage scenarios across an enormous number of partners and small to large enterprises. Anyone who has worked with a large integrated system can get a sense of this. I work in healthcare and our HIS system is rated #1 in it's class (built on a derivitive of an old MIT OS) but due to it's vast integration capabilities and the variety of usage and setup variables from site to site, it requires daily dilligence in error reporting and resolution across all of it's applicaitons. Microsoft Windows works and integrates with a massive number of other Microsoft client and server solutions that are used by the vast majority of enterprises in the world. It's no small feat to keep the Microsoft software stack in good working order. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion but I wish we could past this ABM mentality that pervades online forums. I'm not sure if you've noticed but the Apple forums are jam packed with folks like yourself and me having problems with Apple hardware or software so I'm not sure where we can say one is better than the other, even if you could carve out some realistic benchmarks from which we could compare them on an even playing field.
With all the said, and I apologize but feel that the Anti MS anecdotes belong left long in the past, but any ideas on how we can get the supplied power cables to charge the devices they came with? I don't believe I've ever encountered a problem at the power cable level like this in which 2 cables are not working on 2 different devices. I think it points to software problems but as someone else mentioned about display settings, I'm not sure how your display settings affect the charging of a device in a non display mode. Would that suggest the thunderbolt cables are not capable of delivering enough charge to keep up with idle power consumption?

Is Ipad air who bought from USA compatible for use with European carriers?

IPad 2 "Slide to Unlock" screen does not come up...

When I close my smart cover and then re-open it, the "Slide to Unlock" screen doesn't come up. Now it goes straight to whatever page I was on before I closed the cover. I didn't change any of the settings, any reason why? And how do I get the locking screen back when I close the smart cover?!!

One must know that voiceover application on mode will not work with slide application, so first you have to off the voice over application, for that pl follow steps as under.
1) go to general application by single tab to setting button, followed by double tab to same button.
2) you would be in general manu, wherein again single tab to about application.
3) pl now understand carefully, use your four(4) fingers simultaniously to slide the screen, pl slide on upward direction ( in any case with help of 4 fingers your slide application would work with voiceover application on mode).
4) single tab to accessibility option, then double tab to same button.
5) go to voiceover application with sinlge tab, change voiceover application on mode to off mode.
6) say thanks to yourself and enjoy ipad2 again.

my advise to you young guys: pl wash yr eyes four to five time by a tap water but do not use the towel to clean the water from eyes for 5 minutes, (this you should do as and when you get up from yr pc/ipad/mobile for other work.) your stress would get reduced to 90%

HT201412 When I turn on my Ipad and slide to unlock it won't go thru

When I turn on my I pad and slide to unlock it won't go thru. Also It appear on the screen PHOTO Stream Photo from I cloud can be assessed;
Ignore/ Settings. When I press each on it won't go thru. Need Help

You need to learn to respond to the person that responded to your first post, you don't need to post the same questions twice.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IPad mini slide to unlock not responding

For some reason when the iPad mini is powered off then powered on, the slide to unlock will not immediately respond to my finger until several tries. But when it's on standby mode there is no problem. I already reset the iPad and updated to the latest OS but it is still doing that. Anybody has experience this and know any solution?

Try this:
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
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

Can I buy a IPad Air wifi and cellular in Thailand and use the full options in the Netherlands?

Dear all,
I was wondering if i can buy i ipad air in Thailand and use the full options also in the Netherlands. At the moment I am in Thailand for 5 months. After those 5 months i will return back to the netherlands and want to use a dutch sim card for internet access? Is that possible?
Do some people have the experience with tis, and do you recomend me to buy the product over here?
Thank you in advance,
Marco

At least with the Apple Stores in Southern California and in the Los Angeles area, only the lower-end standard models listed on the Apple web site are in stock. Ones with upgrades to the processor and RAM -- and also to storage -- need to be custom ordered either via the web site or through the toll free Apple phone number. They will build the new Mac to the exact specifications that you request right at the factory and then ship it to any store that you specify, and they can also give you a very good estimate for the day it will arrive at the specified store.
I recently did this for a 13-inch Macbook Air, where we ordered the fastest processor, the max memory (8 GB), and the most internal storage (512 GB). It arrived at the Apple Store about 5 days after the order was placed.

I live overseas.Can iPad Air be bought unlocked and used with Ukrainian SIM card?

I am an American living overseas. I already have an iPhone which I bought in NY with a Verizon plan, and they unlocked it for me since I am in Ukraine most of the time. Can I buy from Apple now an iPad with is unlocked to use in the US or Ukraine? Someone said I can get it with a universal part or port. Or can I get it configured for Verizon, have them unlock it as they did for my iPhone, and use it here with a local SIMcard and just buy credit through Verizon for when I am in the States? (The SIMcard appears to be the same kind, and I can just cut down my Ukrainian card again, right?)

Not sure what iOS -- whatever is newest when I buy. Probably will be in January.

My ipad wont slide to unlock

it keeps telling me as a notification that ther is not enought storage. i dont know if that had anything to do with it.

Try resetting it. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
If you can get it to work, immediately go to Settings > General > Usage and free up some space. Your iPad needs an absolute minimum of 10% of its space free. For example, if you have a 16GB iPad, you must have at an absolute minimum 1.6GB of free space for iOS to work.

Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2. When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices. When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown. If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive. The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one. Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500. It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem. On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

So do you need wifi with iPad Air to get internet? Or can I take it on the road and use the internet

Yes no?

If you don't have a cellular iPad, then yes, you must have a Wifi connection to access the internet.
That said, if you have an iPhone you can create a Wifi hotspot from your iPhone to your iPad. Data charges do apply, so you'd need to add the service from your cell company.
Or, you can buy a Mifi from a cell carrier as well, which would give you wifi access to your iPad.

Ipad air 2 locked with passcode message when connected to iTunes (mac), but it is unlocked

When I connect my new iPad air 2 via lightning cable to my Mac I get the message to unlock my iPad air 2 in order to connect, download photos, etc.
But my iPad air 2 is unlocked and displaying the home screen. I have tried switching USB ports, restarting the iPad air 2 and resetting by holding the power & home button down, but neither of these fixes the issue. Any suggestions?

Yes, but I was able to fix the problem by restarting my Mac. Guess I should have tried that first
Thanks for the quick response.

My iPad air slide to unlock is difficult to use. Takes several attempts.
