My ipad is talking to me when it's locked...

Hi I'm the new iPad user..so like 10 minutes ago I was trying to unlock my ipad but it started talking to me, telling me what each button is.
It won't let me unlock..All it does is telling me the time, what each button is used for (e.g: picture frame, slide to unlock, enter passcode, etc)
I searched on the internet and it seems like the VoiceOver is turned on?? but I never turned it on, did it activate by itself?
Please help me unlock the ipad & turn off the voiceover

Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns VoiceOver off - if it does then you can change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If it doesn't then touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your passcode you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off (with VoiceOver 'on' you need to use 3 fingers to scroll up and down the screen).
So to enter your passcode you first need to tap the 'slide to unlock' button to highlight it (it should get a box around it), then double-tap it to unlock it. Then for your passcode tap the digit that you want and it should get a box around it; then double-tap that digit to type it; and similar for the other three digits in your passcode.

Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it? Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe. 2 days later it was at 76%!

How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.

How can I reassign an iPad to a new user when the previous user is not available?

I am in IT for my company and we issue iPads to team members. When they separate we wipe the iPads and keep them available for reassignment.
I am trying to reassign one of the returned iPads to another user now. It is not allowing me to do so. I see on Apple's support site, there instructions for resolving this if the previous 'owner' is available, but I do not see steps for if they are not.
I will try calling Apple support as well... However, comments and suggestions you might respond with are appreciated.
Thanks

Cindi-
Go to Settings-General-Accessibility-Vision. Be sure VoiceOver, Speak Selection and Speak Auto-text are all set to OFF.

I can't get my iPad to talk to my printer. Help??

I just received an HP D110a printer and went thru the setup for the printer and it seems to work fine as a printer but I don't know what is required to have the iPad 2 talk to it. It would appear to be relatively simple--but it escapes me. Can someone explain the procedure? Jerry.

Jerry-
Apps on the iPad that are capable of printing, usually have a small symbol that consists of a square with a right turn arrow. When you touch it, printing is one of the options that appear.
Your D110 is capable of AirPrint printing. If your iPad can't see it when you select the printing option, your WiFi router may not be correctly handling the Bonjour data that AirPrint requires.

I am getting ready to order a iPad 3 wifi 4g from USA. I need to take it to India. Will the iPAD 3 work ? And when i pre order do i go with the AT&T since it has the gsm ?
Please let me know.
thanks

I would since it is more global than Verizon. AT&T works in more than 200 countries worldwide. Also talk to AT&T about an International Data Plan for it so your wireless statement will not be as high without it.

HT1657 I rented movies on my iPad, they all downloaded, but when I click 'play' it says 'The requested URL was not found on this server'. What does it mean and how can I restore my rented movies?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps. How can I correct this?

If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent 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 of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
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.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

Unable to sync contacts, keep saying 'ipad already using contacts'. When I open contacts app it opens for fraction of secs and goes back to main screen. any ideas?

You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device?

Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

When I try to sync to my ipad, tons of my music doesn't download. The error message tells me that my ipad is not authorized, but when I try to authorize it, it tells me it's already authorized.... what now?

I want to sync music to my ipad, but it tells me it can't because ipad is not authorized. when I go to authorize it, it tells me it's already authorized. I'm confused.

You use the iTunes app, but you authorize a computer to use items acquired from Apple with a specific iTunes account. Then any iOS devices that sync to that computer are also automatically authorized to use the items acquired from Apple when they are synced to the device.
If you are mixing stuff from various usuers individual iTunes accounts it can get a bit confusing. For example if you have apps from thre different users accounts, the apps can only be updated if that user signs into their iTunes account either on the specfic computer or the individual iOS devices.
