Netflix - No HD Streaming on iPad Air (Only SD)

Posted this on another forum for more visibility. My problem:
Can't figure this one thing out on the iPad Air. I've been doing a bit of research and seems like other people have the issue so it's not just me. I can't get Netflix to stream HD quality on my iPad Air.
Wifi speed is great - I have a 100mbit line, and speedtest on the iPad Air is 60mbps.
I also have a nexus 7, note 2, ipad 3, macbook pro, and iMac - all stream HD just fine.
I've tried resetting the iPad Air, reinstalling netflix SEVERAL times, resetting the network setting on the iPad Air.
Nothing works - driving me bonkers!
Anyone have any clue as to what would be causing this?

I'm having the same problem. I think it has to do with the hardware within the new iPads. I'm hoping netflix will fix this issue soon, although I'm not sure they are even aware of the problem. I don't think a lot of ipad air users are even noticing it, though I definitely do.

How do I see other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see all people on Mac book pro, but not iPad Air.

How do I see the other subscribers photos on a shared photo stream on iPad Air? I can see everyone on mac book pro, but not ipad. I can only see myself and the owner. Please help.

Hello there, missjanellez.
The following link from the online iCloud Help menu provides some practical information in regards to shared stream functionality:
Manage Subscribers to your shared streams.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7bfa
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream whose subscribers you want to manage, then tap People.The Activity stream doesn’t have subscribers.
Do any of the following:
To invite more people, tap Invite People, enter email addresses or tap the Add button to select from your contacts, then tap Add.
To remove a subscriber, tap the subscriber, then tap Remove Subscriber.
To choose whether subscribers can add photos and videos, tap Subscribers Can Post.
If the subscriber list doesn’t include Invite People, you don’t own the shared stream.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro

IPad Air only wifi syncs one way

Hi,
I have both an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air running the latest version of iOS 7. Both are on the same (Aiport Extreme ac) network as my iMac running Marverick and iTunes 11.1.5.
Both iOS devices are set up for wifi syncing and appear in the iTunes devices list. However, since day 1 of owning the iPad Air I have never been able to start a sync from the Mac in iTunes. If I try iTunes says its looking for it (despite it already showing in the devices list), but eventually gives up and says it can't be found. It works fine for the iPhone 5, however.
What I can do is start a sync from the ipad itself. I would say 70-80% of the time it will see the Mac and start syncing.
I've tried resetting the network settings, and resetting the iPad completely but with no change. I can sync 'from' the iPad but not 'to' it.
Has anyone else come across this and did you get a fix?
Thanks,
Neil

Not sure. I also have an iPhone 5 that, like you, never seems to have an issue.I have had this happen before on rare occassions only with my iPad Air but not regularly. So maybe there is something to it, however, usually ejecting the iPad, quitting iTunes and relaunching works for me.
Are you sure Airplane mode isn't on?
Did you try syncing when the iPad was unlocked?
What happens when you initiate sync from the iPad (Settings > General > ITunes Wi-Fi Sync)
The last resort is a restore. First backup then restore from the backup. If the problem still exists then restore again as a new device to eliminate the possibility of the problem existing in the backup.
Restoring iOS Software
If the problem persists then make a Genius Bar appointment or contact Apple for repair.

TS3899 My old iPad let me have 1000 emails, why does my new iPad Air only allow 200? How do I change this?

I want the 1K emails I could have on my iPad 2. Can't figure out how to do this on my new Air.

I had an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1. In the Mail, Contacts, Calendars selection and within it a Mail section. Within the Mail section i could choose to show anywhere from 50 - 1!000 messages. In my new iPad Air with iOS 7.1 i have no such option and it seems to max out at 240 meassages.
I have 1,209 earhlink emails on my old iPad dating back to Novemeber, on my new iPad i have 250 going back through March.
Is ther a setting i can chane to got the others? Do they live in the cloud somewhere and i just dont know how to use it?
Thank you for you reply and your hekp.

My iPhone 5 appears to be using too much memory, particularly 7.9GB out of the 32GB labeled "OTHER". Even my iPad Air has only 3.9GB labeled "OTHER". How do I identify what "OTHER" is actually used for and how do I mitigate this?

According to iTunes I am using approximately 20.35GB of the available 27.32GM of memory, leaving about 7GB free. Of the used memory, about 7.9GB is labeled "OTHER". Making the same measurement on my iPad Air, only 3.9GB is labeled "OTHER". Why am I loosing so much memory capacity and what do I do to mitigate this problem?
This is having a significant effect on using my iPhone for recording Video interviews which in some cases constitute two to three hours of video. I need to be able togged the "OTHER" memory space so I can do more than one video recording during a session. Lowering the "OTHER" category to 3.9GB, the same as the iPad Air, would make it possible to record two or in some cases three videos before having to offload them to the MacBook Pro for editing in the evening.

No, it's not, if you would actually read the linked information like I said. There is plenty of information in this link about how to reduce or eliminate your 'Other' data without using third-party programs or procedures:

• Delete Browser Cache
• Delete Mail account and re-add
• Delete Text Messages
• Empty out the Reading List
• Delete iTunes Backups
• Backup to iCloud instead of iTunes
• Restore as new then restore the backup
• Restore as new, but don't restore backup

My iPad Air speakers only work on some apps??

The speakers on my iPad Air only work on some apps??

If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted. I think that's what you are experiencing.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

My iPad Air pictures are a little grainy. The images are not very sharp. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi, I have an 32gb IPad Air. The picture quality is blurry and grainy. I don't know why it is happening. It is two months old and the quality has always been this way. I am going to a friends wedding in two weeks and I want to figure out how to take good pictures.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Sandrea

You would be much better off with a point-and-shoot camera, especially for an occasion like a wedding. The iPad Air only has a 5MP camera.
Make sure you're taking pictures in a well-lit area. You should be able to tap on a face/area on the screen to get the camera to focus. Either of those may help.

Having issues with iPad air.. It's constantly rebooting and giving me a blue screen. Anyone have a solution?

iPad Air
operating system ios8.1.3
I've had no success troubleshooting the problem I'm having with my iPad Air. Started after I updated the software to the new version . Once update was complete I encountered my screen looked funny with wiggly lines and then the screen turned blue. I tried to reboot it by holding down the home and the off at the same time but that only turned it off and then back on and the same thing happened all over again. Now my iPad air only continues to reboot when I turn it on. Is it possible for Apple or Mac products to get a virus? I'm hope someone has a solution to this problem I'd like to know if there's anyone else out there that's experiencing this issue with the iPad Air.

This is not a virus. It sounds like it could be a hardware problem.
First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

IOS 8 iPad Air Pages App Capitalization Mid-Sentence.

I have noticed this problem with Pages operating on my iPad Air only now that I have updated to iOS 8. The autocapitalization feature for proper nouns and the beginning of sentences works as usual. My issue is when I replace the cursor in the middle of a sentence or at the end of an unfinished sentence that has no punctuation. Begining with iOS 8, Pages will now capitalize the word I am tying regardless of where I replace the cursor. Let's say I forgot to put the "s" at the end of "pages" and I replace the cursor directly after the "e" in "page". Pages will automatically capitalize my cursor, even though I am at the end of a word mid-sentence, and the result is "pageS". This is incredibly frustrating when going back to correct errors mid-sentence. After each time I correct an error, I return to the end of the incomplete sentence and my cursor is capitalized, even though I am mid-sentence. iOS 7 pages never did this.

I Have had the same problem, which I posted at Uppercase on when insert text in Pages iOS 8. I'm glad to learn I'm not alone.
BTW, I have had a capitalization problem with typing in these forums. Note the second word above. Also, if the first word has more than one letter, the second letter is also uppercase. Maybe this is related to the Pages problem in some weird way.

How to install Elements 11 on iPad Air? [was:Can someone help?]

How to install elements 11 that I purchased as a download and installed one copy to Mac desktop now I want to install second copy on new Mac iPad air. Can u help?

You cannot install any desktop software of your choosing on iPad Air - only apps specifically written for the iOS operating system and available via the Apple App Store.
Adobe desktop products - including Elements 11 - require the Mac OS X desktop operating system (e.g Mavericks etc). The iPad Air runs the Apple iOS mobile operating system. Software designed for OS X will not run on iOS and vice versa.
The only way to download and install software on the iPad is via the Apple App Store. That's an Apple restriction so they can control your iPad environment and get their cut of App Store sales.
Adobe mobile apps, including Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Express, for various mobile platform including iOS and Android are listed here
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/mobile._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_mobiledevi ces.html
That's the only Adobe software available for mobile devices, including iPad, so far. Lightroom Mobile is coming soon but it's not ready yet.
P.S. You can run Chrome on the iPad but, again you must download it from the App Store
Chrome: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/chrome/id535886823?mt=8
There's no Firefox for the iPad to my knowledge

Quicklook (jpg) is not working in iPad Air

Quicklook (jpg) is not working in iPad Air; only option is airdrop or sharing/opening in the apps - Flickr, Dropbox, PS, etc.

Are you saying that when you receive an email that has a photo attached you cannot see it in the Msil app?
Try quitting the mail app and then reset the iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Don't know who else has this issue but my ipad air is doing random things. Almost like someone else is running it. Any ideas how to fix this?

This is driving me crazy. What can I do?

You would be much better off with a point-and-shoot camera, especially for an occasion like a wedding. The iPad Air only has a 5MP camera.
Make sure you're taking pictures in a well-lit area. You should be able to tap on a face/area on the screen to get the camera to focus. Either of those may help.

The camera on my iPad air only seems to operate in video mode. How do I cahnge it to photos?

To change the Camera mode you must touch the desired mode, say, Photo, and swipe it to the selected positioin. Just touching Photo is not enough.
