"New" iPad and iSight / Facetime Camera

Will the "New" iPad, with it's 5mp iSight camera support better video for iChat than the 2nd gen iPad?
I'm a bit confused because Apple states that the Facetime camera, "FaceTime camera with VGA-quality photos and video at up to 30 frames per second camera.
Is the front camera using the same optics as the rear, thus Facetime video chat quality will be irmproved?
Thanks

How do you set it up to use the rear camera with Face Time?
During the chat, click the camera switch icon (located to the right of the "End" icon.) Each time you click the switch icon, it toggles the camera front to back and vice versa.

The FaceTime camera is really bad on my New iPad (which I've had for a while) it's really fuzzy, poor & doesn't autofocus properly however the other camera is really good how do I fix this?!!!! X( x_x

I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

New Ipad and FaceTime

New Ipad won't FaceTime my iPhone or other Ipad, I've looked at other threads and can't get help. My iPhone is receiving FaceTime calls from other Ipad but not from my own. I've unticked my @me account on iPad and using @iCloud account to see if that helped but nothing. Really need help for this as I want to get as much functions from my iPad as possible

Frankly, I'm a little bit confused by what you said in your first post as well.
If I understand correctly and I'm not sure that I do, you basically have an iPad that will not FaceTime going out, but you can receive FaceTime calls coming in. Is that correct? Are you using your Apple ID as your FaceTime contact at address?

I have just bought the new iPad and I am keen to use FaceTime.please could someone tell me how to download my contacts on to the iPad.? Thanks

My colleagues and I are also seeing this problem across our iPads and iPhone 4/4S. I've tried various knowledge bases but nothing seems to get it working again

Just bought a new iPad, and my highlights and bookmarks will not sync to it through iBooks.

Hey, I just bought the third-generation iPad. I have been reading on the iPad 2 for a year now, and have hundreds of books in my library. Because I'm such an intense reader, and value my highlights, it upset me when I bought the new iPad, synced it to iTunes, and then highlights and bookmarks were not transferred to the new iPad. The books were all out of order when they synced, and I had to rearrange them, but they were in the correct collections. This was my first hint that something was wrong. Next, when I opened my books, I could not find a single highlight in any of them. I checked all the books on my iPad 2 and they're fine as usual, everything is how I left it, including my bookmarks and highlights, and I even went into settings and made sure sync bookmarks was on on both iPads. I am completely confused and frustrated. I even put my new iPad into DFU mode and tried to re-sync everything, nothing is working. They just won't sync. Could someone please help me out, this means a lot to me. Also: is anyone noticing that the multitouch is slightly off with the new iPad? I'll go to tap dictation or drag an icon to another page, and it's just not that responsive. a few times I have clicked the dictation button but I gotten a space in instead. It seems you just have to press harder almost. Lastly, my 30 pin seems to be a little tight. I put a standard 30 pin sync cord that came with my original iPad 2 and iPhone 4 into the 30 pin and I almost had to jam it into the 30 pin slot. I work with iDevices all day long and have never had one that needed to be jammed in before. It doesn't seem good for the iPad. Yes, I am borderline about to return it, but the screen just looks so much clearer, I can't go back to my iPad 2. Wow, again I pressed the dictation button and the spacebar activated instead. If anyone can figure out this whole iBook situation so I can get my bookmarks and my highlights back, I would really appreciate it!

I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

A new iPad and new Express, but no Mac - can't set up network!

Here's a puzzler (for me at least) --
Mom bought a new iPad and new Airport Express. She has no Mac, so no iTunes and no syncing. Her iPad does NOT have Airport Utility. She's starting from scratch.
Her Express is connected to her Cox Cable Cisco modem, shich shows steady green for good internet connection. The express flashes amber, I assume becuase there's no network set up.
Her iPad sees the Express -- Wi-Fi in the Settings menu has "Apple ..." where the network name appears -- and the wireless signal 'fan' shows strong in the top bar.
In iPad > Settings > Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi shows 'on', no editable network shows, and no "create network" option shows.
She can't get Airport Utility without internet or syncing to a Mac, and she can't see any way to create a network, or see any existing network that she can forget or manage.
Is this simple Cox Cable > Cisco modem > Express wireless > iPad a workable setup?
Is there any way to create the wireless network without Airport Utility?
Thanks!
Otto
P.S. The iPad isn't pristine connection-wise. It was temporarily connected to a public Wi-Fi to complete setting up an iCloud account, and so get to the home screen for the first time. BUT, my mom is ancient and fearful, and I don't want to send her out to find public Wi-Fi to set up a a credit card account so she can use the app store to get utility if I don't have to. Help.

Thanks CRMDVM -- ...which means, I think, that she will need to go out into the wide world to find public wireless. Makes me wish Airport Utility was one of the stock apps that came with the iPad.
Any other ideas? Any way to manually configure on an iPad? Anything? Thanks.

My husband got a new ipad and set up his apple id without looking into the implications of that. Now I want to sync this ipad with our itunes so we can access it on here, but our itunes has a different apple id. Any way to do this?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

I bought a new ipad and shared my documents in Pages from the old ipad to my cloud, but the only document showing on my new pad is the ones that was not in folders. Have I lost my documents for ever?

Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
Although the current devices don't have the photos, the following is advice for the future:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

I have the 'new' iPad and it won't charge when I plug it into an electrical outlet. It has been charging fine up until last week.

I have the New iPad and the last two times I went to charge it overnight, it didn't charge. I tried moving the charger to a different outlet and it would click to indicate that it was charging and then it would stop. Finally, it did charge, but today it just won't begin to charge. Is this a common problem? Very frustrating after paying the big bucks to get the latest iPad.

There are probably three reasons your ipad might not charge:
1. The outlet is. It good. But you've already changed outlets so that may not be the likely cause. Just to be sure double check the outlets with another appliance to make sure the outlet has power.
2. The charger is bad. First make sure you are using the charger that came with your iPad. Then double check all your connections.
3. Your connector on the iPad may have dirt in it. Blow the dust out and try again.
If none of these work your iPad may be falty or you may need a new charger. Goto a apple store and have them check out your hardware.
