New ipad cable breaks:  what to do?

I bought a new iPad on 11/18/2012.  Its serial number is DMPJHCW8F186.  The cable that came with it (a 1/2 inch at the iPad) broke within 48 hours.  On
11/25
11/25, the Apple store gave me a new one.  That also broke.  On Dec 2, I bought a 3rd party cable which also broke.  The symptom is that the electrical connector comes out of the holder.  It will only remove correctly if a very well manicured fingernail is inserted between the iPad socket and the cable connection.  It pulls apart between the bronze and the white cover.

Perhaps the problem is with the Lightning connector on your iPad and not the cables. Make a Genius Bar appointment and take both items in and have them both looked at. I've not broken any cables on my 7th Gen Nano or my iPhone 5.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.

    my new ipad is ruinous what am i do?

    What do you mean by "ruinous"?
    If it is damaged and you only just bought it, take it back to the place where you bought it. It has a 1 year warranty for manufacturing defects.
    If you have "ruined" it yourself, then you'll have to pay for the repair or buy a new one.

    Want to buy a new ipad mini.  What is best carrier for overseas travel?  Are all plans month to month?

    No. Most plans from major carriers are minimum term contracts - usually two years. Month to month providers require you buy an unlocked device that may then be permanently tied to their service.

    Since you dropped the iPad and it was damaged accidentally, the repairs would not be covered by Apple anyway.

    my touch screen for new ipad broke down and i live in Saudi Arabia , what can i do ?

    Does it not work at all ? Have you tried a reset to see if that fixes it ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • After i pulled a screen protector off my new ipad there were what look like small round bubbles on the actual screen. They do not go away.The protector was an Ikit one.

    After I pulled a screen protector off my new ipad I found round spots on the actual screen of the ipad which will not go away. The protector was an IKIT one.

    It's probably just dried solution from the application of the screen protector.  You can get some safe cleaning solutions for your iPad screen.  there's iClean, Monster has an iPad safe solution........

  • My macbook pro 10.5.8 cannot download the iTunes required to sync my new iPad mini. What can I do?

    Is there a way that I can download iTunes 10.7 or any iTunes which will be compatible with my iPad mini that I am able to download on my macbook pro 10.5.8? I want to sync my music from my macbook pro, but I am denied because i don't have the latest version of iTunes which is not downloadable on my mac because it requires macbook 10.6.8 or newer.

    You need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 and then run Software Update.

  • My iPad recently flew off my SUV (embarrassing!) while driving, which mangled the back initially.  But a little while later, the glass cracked as well.  Without buying a new iPad (tight budget), what can be done to get it repaired?  Thanks!

    Looking for some help.  I'm on a tight budget and had an embarrassing mishap in which my iPad (1st Gen) flew off my SUV while driving!    I felt fortunate at first, because the iPad still works, but then the glass cracked a little while later.  Mega-bummer as I used my iPad a lot - great product that I used on the road and in my recliner at home!    The following are some pictures before the glass cracked.  I would really value any assistance that can be provided as I look into getting the iPad repaired vs. replaced.  Many thanks!
    One of my many questions is, would it be possible to get the glass replaced and just have the back bent back into place?
    Power Button, Volume Control and Rotation Lock (or Mute/Unmute) - none of these work at present.  I presume that the aluminum is crimped down on the buttons.
    Side profile - has a curve in it... similar photo to follow.
    ... and a shot of the back.
    I must say, the iPad in its case was pretty durable considering that it flew off my SUV while picking up speed in upwards of 50 mph!  Hats off to Apple for a good product!    Thanks!

    Apple does not repair,  they replace.
    I do not think they will touch your ipad since it was obviously abused and is not covered by warranty.

  • Does anyone know what app is the one they use in the new iPad for photo color adjustment

    I would like to know if anyone that has seen the new IPad commercial knows what app is used to adjust the colors on the photos

    The app in the commercial is iPhoto for iOS. But there a several other photo apps that can adjust the color in a photo and do other edits on photos. Visit the Apple App store on your iPad and search on photo.
