My ipad2 does not seem to be taking the 3g over the WiFi

I bought the device on Saturday, and have already used 178 meg on my Verizon plan. At work/home I have Wifi (and have verified that I was connected at all times). The only time I do not have Wifi is during a 30 minute train ride to and from work, and the only thing I used the service for was reading the news.
After I saw the usage number rising, I turned off the 3g, and the number stopped growing.
Is there some kind of priority setting that I did not choose?
Also, after turning the 3g back on this morning, I could not connect to the internet during my commute. To make sure I wasnt picking up someones Wifi, I turned my Wifi off, so it cant be that I was piggybacking onto someones weak signal.
Any help would be appriciated!

Do you have push notifications and push email turned on? If it works like the iPhone, I believe the iPad with 3G uses the 3G signal while in sleep mode to receive any push data coming in in the background. You might try turning all this stuff off (and anything else that runs in the background like Skype) to see if it lowers your data usage.

I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled my to reload the rack which is complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Thanks S

I have down loaded a track which was initially missing 1min 30 seconds. iTunes enabled me to reload the rack which is now complete on the PC. However, syncing with my Ipad2 does not seem to replace the incomplete version with the full version. Can anyone out there help?
Thanks S

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I've un-checked the track and re-synced the Ipad as suggested, but then re-checking and re-syncing han no effect. The track is still missing the final minute and a half or so. I've tried it twice, but the effect is the same.
Any other ideas? Would un-checking the entire music collection and staring again work, or is that a road to disaster?

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

The MacBook has no fax-modem. You will need an external (USB) modem.

Copy and paste of an element does not seem to work in the web page design??

I have tried to copy and paste of an element BUT it does not seem to work in the web page design??

Hi;
The copy and paste keyboard commands in the app are controlled by Flash Player, sometimes there are issues with a browser/OS combination, make sure that Flash Player is up to date and if that doesn't help try another web browser.
Thanks,
Josh

how to transfer Ipad music NOT purchased from Apple to MacBook Air. Answers found in the Community does not seem to deal with similar questions posted to the Community.

You can only transfer purchases from iTunes on the iPad into iTunes on your computer. If you bought the music from another source, you need to use the source app to transfer the music, or you need a third party app to transfer the music.

I have pages for the iPad 3 and it does not seem to sync with the cloud

I have the newest pages, an iCould account, an internet connection and every other possible thing. I have been troubleshooting this problem and I cant seem to get it working. Is anyone else having these issues with the iCloud syncing?

Do you have:
Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > Documents & Data > On
Is your network working for everything else? eg Mail & Safari?

I have a new ipad and I am trying to set it up thru my itunes account. I opened itunes and connected the ipad but itunes does not seem to be recognizing the ipad. Can someone please advise? Thank you.

I tried to register my ipad thru the Apple website but it won't let me register because I do not have the exact purchase date. This was a gift and I do not know the exact date. So frustrating because I am excited and anxious to use my new ipad!

Try making up a date. something relatively recent. See if that allows you to go forward

Finder/Spotlight does not seem to be searching the contents of docx files anymore. How do I re-enable this search function?

I used to be able to search the contents of .docx MS Word files in the past, but this feature suddenly stopped working.
Anyone else experiencing this as well and is there a fix?
Thanks.

Similar or same problem, with similar and same hardware/software. This is incredibly frustrating given that for the last ten years we've been told not to worry about organizing our files but instead rely on tags and meta-data.
.docx files are found when no file content is searched.
When some content is searched, recent .docx files (last 7 days) files may appear, but nothing older.
Just to be clear, when any content is searched for, no .docx files older than 7 days are present in search results.
However, .doc files with identical content are found, as are PDFs etc.
Reindexing changes nothing.

Any content used as 100% browser width will work fine with browser resize, if you are not getting the same behavior , please provide the link to the page so that we can have a look.
Thanks,
