New iPad 3G/2g unstable even after updating to iOS 5.1.1

My new iPad constantly loses connection to my cellular service provider (Vodacom ZA).
Each time the signal strength drops below 3G, the iPad does not automatically switch to 2G (Edge), instead the Internet access stalls, requiring me to switch off Celluar Data in the Seeing tab, the switching on again to re-establish the connection.
On receiving Apple iOS 5.1.1 update, point 2 in their splash screen acknowledges that this is this issue, but the problem still persists after installing the update.

  • My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

    My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:
    - Updating to iOS 6.1.3
    -re starting the device
    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

    Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6.  The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while.  I restored it and everything works but the charger.  It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

    Hi,
    I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
    Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
    Thanks

    Hello alicelan,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errors. You may want to consider restoring your device to factory settings to resolve the issues you've described:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info.
    Before you restore your device
    Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
    Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
    Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
    Restore your iOS device
    Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
    Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
    After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
    Learn more
    If you get an error message, find out how to fix most update and restore errors.
    If your iOS device with cellular service doesn’t activate after restoring, find out how to fix activation issues.
    If your iOS device restarts repeatedly or isn’t responding, for example if you see a stopped progress bar or no progress bar, put the device into recovery mode and restore it again.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • My ipad 3 keeps on rebooting after updated to ios 7.1.2. what shd i do?? how to resolve the issue??

    my ipad 3 keeps on rebooting after updated to ios 7.1.2. what shd i do?? how to resolve the issue??

    The first thing that I would try is a reset.
    Reset 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.
    IF that doesn't stop the rebooting, you should restore the iOS Software. Read this carefully and read to all the way through before proceeding.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    At the very end of the article under "additional information" there is a link to recovery mode. You might need to use that if you cannot restore in the conventional manner.

  • My iPad 2 gets hanged often after updating my iOS from iOS 7 to iOS 8

    my iPad 2 gets hanged often after updating my iOS from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 8,what should I do?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

  • IPad 4 Sound not working after updating to iOS 8

    I just updated to the new iOS 8 on my 16GB iPad 4 (New iPad).  After the update was completed the sound didn't work at all.  No lock sound, wouldn't play any ringtones etc. and when I went into YouTube, it played the video but no sound.
    I tried a hard reset (holding down the home & lock screen button at the same time) and it now has sound, but it is way too loud and crackling.  I tried the hard reset again and this didn't do anything.
    If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    I set in a genius appointmsnt and informed them of this issue and that I had tried hard resets and resting from the back up. They Informed me that it was a hardware problem and not a software problem. Since I am outside of my warranty I was informed it would be $299 to exchange for the same 4th gen iPad i had or $519 for an iPad air.  Apparently if your speakers go there is no fix other than the whole unit being replaced and he didnt have any suggestions other than to pay the money.  I hadn't had any problems with my speakers the full 1.5 years that I have had my iPad so wouldn't have know to have it replaced because of the hardware.  I was pretty ****** off leaving that appointment thinking that thanks to an update I would now have to fork out $300+ for an iPad due to an issue that i was unaware of until it happened.
    SInce they didnt try anything in the store I decided to try and reset my iPad to new and see if that made any difference. To my surprise it worked. I set it as a new iPad and didnt use my backup but had all my contacts etc in iCloud. I'm glad that this fix has worked but ****** that the so call "genius" at the Apple Store didnt even ask if I'd tried resetting it as new nor did he do anything other than run his diagnostics and then proceed to tell me it would cost me $300+ for an iPad that is selling for $380 on sale. Not pleased with the service but happy that I've found at least a temporary fix.

  • IPad 2 earphones not working after updating to ios 6 (jack input is clean)

    Hi there, I can see some people have been having problems with their new iPad and earphones in conjunction with ios 6 but did not know if there was a thread established for the iPad 2 yet.
    I updated tonight and along with the fact that ios 6 is a complete letdown I now cannot get the iPad to recognise my earphones. They were working fine 30 minutes before the update so I know it is not the earphones.
    If I keep the app (e.g. Youtube) up and reinsert the earphones it works. However if I switch to check something on another app and come back the sound starts coming through the speakers again.
    Any help or advice much appreciated!

    I had a problem connecting to my exchange server.  It turns out that Exchange will only allow ten devices to be partnered to your account at a time.  Apparently I have a problem with new phone.(Attending the 12 step program now for treatment.) I had this message in my inbox when I logged in to check the server. "You have 10 phone partnerships out of the maximum allowed 10 partnerships. After you reach the maximum, you can't create additional partnerships until you delete existing ones from your account. To do so, sign in to Outlook Web App, click Options > Phone > Mobile Phones, and delete any unused partnerships."  I followed the instructions and delted all the old accounts...problem solved.

  • My ipad 3 is not charging after update to ios 6

    I Just updated my ipad 3 to ios 6 and now my battery will not charge anymore?!?

    Just got off the phone with Apple.  At least the wait time was short and the technician spoke clearly, but ultimately the issue is not resolved.
    First thing we tried was doing a hard reboot, then reset the phone by going into settings -> general -> Reset -> Erase Content and Settings.  This was supposed to bring the phone back to IOS 5.1.1 and would confirm if it was the iOS6 or a hardware issue.  it still wouldn't charge and so we assumed it was hardware and setup an exchange.  Keep in mind this phone is less than 6 months old. 
    After the fact, I realized that the restore did not actually remove iOS6 and so made a second call to tech support.  After talking to a senior tech rep we discovered that once iOS6 is fully installed, there is no going back.  Especially since iTunes won't recognize the phone being connected in addition to the not charging. 
    I'm curious to watch this thread and see if the number of people with this problem continues to escalate.  I think 5 could still be coincidence with literally millions of people upgrading to iOS6 but if there is in fact a software issue causing it I imagine this number to increase exponentially over the next few days and weeks.

  • IPad stuck in restore mode after update to iOS 8.02

    I attempted to do this yesterday and after the update was extracted I kept getting an Unknown error 3104. I tried everything form editing the hosts file in Windows 8.1, disabling my Anti-Virus. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my router, etc, etc but nothing worked!!! This was very distressing for me as I couldn't use the iPad!!
    This morning I tried one last thing. I Downloaded iTunes on another Windows 8.1 PC I have and connected the iPad to it. It detected that it was in Restore mode and download the update from Apple and finally restored the iPad to factory settings!! After this I connected the iPad back on my original PC and restore it to how it was from the last backup made yesterday. Phew!! Apple should say something like this for other users or at least provide some way to get out of restore mode if an update fails or becomes corrupt!!

    Apple does make the suggestion to try another computer and another Internet connection for that very same error code that you got.
    Restore or update on another computer
    Try to restore or update on another computer with a different Internet connection. This will help rule out other issues on your computer that might stop iTunes from communicating with the update server.
    Errors 1639, 3000-3020, and 3100-3999 (with the exception of 3194) are sometimes caused by your network settings. If your computer uses a managed network, refer to your network administrator. Proxies, firewalls, and other network security measures can cause these errors. If necessary, find a different network connection to restore the device. For example, if you're restoring at work, try to restore at home or on a friend's computer and network.
