New Ipad replaced for refurbished?

Hi all, a week or so ago , I got a new Ipad 64gb in black, all was fine for a while, until I saw a miniscule white dot on the lower left side of the screen.
I tried to clean it off, hoping it was some dust or whatnot, alas it didn't come off. Iassumed it was a dead pixel. Later that day I phoned applecare and booked an appointment at my local Apple Store.
The genius that was there was very helpful, stating that indeed it was a fault with the Ipad and not a scratch and would be replaced with a 'new' Ipad. So, off he went and brought a box down which wasn't like the ones you get new Ipads in.
At the time, I took a quick glance over, all looked fine so signed agreeing to erase etc etc and came home. Upon inspection, there are several scuffs to the sides with minor paint chips.
My question is this, can I take this one back, and also, if yes, can I demand for a new Ipad as opposed to a refurbished one. Yes, I'm partly at fault for not checking it out properly, but I'd paid quite alot of money and surely a new one isn't too much to ask is it?
Sorry for lengthy post, and I hope this is the right section.
James

Hi Demo, thankyou for replying. I suppose I don't have an issue with it being refurbished, so long as it actually has no real defects to it.
It has a case and you can't really see the scuffs when its on, however I suppose I was abit taken aback when I wasn't really at fault, and they didn't offer a new one, seeing as I only purchased not to long ago.
I know I'm nitpicking, guess I should've looked it over bit more closely at the store.
Will let you know what the outcome is
James

New iPad 2 vs Refurbished iPad 3

Hello, I want a buy an iPad, I found in Romania, new iPad 2 for 336 $ but now I saw an refurbished iPad 3 for 315 $. What to buy? Is refurbished still good?

When you talk about refurbished, do you mean from the Apple on-line store? We have bought two for our family last year and another one as a gift last month. They have been great.
If bought from the Apple on-line store, the front and back covers are new, have new batteries, and a full one year warranty. Most resellers do not so this. I would not buy anything like this from anywhere but the Apple on-line refurb store.
The ipad 3 is the one that was discontinued months after it came out, and for many reasons, you might want to avoid that one.
There are minis in the store, too, if you're interested and people love their minis (too small for my eyes.) There are 32gb for $359.00 refurbished. Mini 16 gb is $279.00 US dollars.
Whatever you decide, you should get as much space as you can because if you run out of space, you'll have to delete apps, pictures, music, etc. to add to your ipad.
Tough decision, and I'm sure many other posters will have their opinions. So review them all and then make a decision that you'll be happy with and enjoy your new ipad.
Hope this helps.

My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?
If not .............

If you have recently created a new iTunes account, the $1 charge will most likely be for account verification. The money will be refunded shortly.

Hi everyone. New IPad 2 for christmas. Synced via my computer using iTunes. Question about contacts. My contact list only copied to my iPad contacts with email addresses only. The contacts that were transferred only have email address.

Hi everyone. New iPad 2 for Christmas. When I transferred contact to the iPad, I only got some of my contacts. In the contacts that I did transfer, the contacts only have the email listed. No phone numbers, birthdays,etc. Is it possible to correct this as I would like to have all the same contact lists on my iPhone and iPad?

Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

Have new iPhone 5s and older iPad ( looking to buy new iPad ) question for both is should I hook them up to y computer and back up the computer on each devise and sink and than the next one. The second question is should I do the I pad first cause it has photos in my email that have not been downloaded and it is one of or is the first model

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

Can the new ipad replace macbook air

I am a university engineer student, bought a windows laptop, a new ipad and an air 13 inch.
Currently run into financial problem, and thinking about selling my air.
I mainly use air when i am in class, read notes, sometimes browse the web when I get bored, and writing codes
Just wondering is air replaceble by ipad, havn't used my ipad much,

Only you can decide whether or not the iPad can replace the Air; it's not something we can tell you since we can't know what needs and preferences you have. Since you have both, you should be able to spend more time with the iPad and determine for yourself whether or not it would be an acceptable substitute for the Air.
Regards.

My new iPad asks for the PIN of my MacBook to sync. How do I find the PIN?

how can I sync all my devices? Older MacBook, iPhone5 (these two sych via wi-fi) I want my new iPad to do the same but it asks for my MacBook PIN number. No idea what that is. I have it syncing with iTunes now but only pics/music. I want some of my files on the iPad as well. I'm a writer...want to use iPad then sync it to MacBook....thanks for any help. (I'm not too tech savvy)

I don't believe it's asking for your "MacBook PIN number."
It would be very helpful if you would post exactly what you are doing when you get asked for information, and the exact wording of the "PIN" request.

New iPad asking for passcode but I never set one - how do I unlock a code never set?

Just got my new iPad yesterday, have no kids or anyone else around who would mess with it while I'm in another room - go to wash the dishes, come back and it's asking me for a passcode to unlock. I had it running all last night - turned off, turn on, sync with macbook pro, blah blah blah, everything is great until tonight. What's going on? How do I unlock it?

Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.

New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

New iPad 1 for $340 or iPad 2

I'm getting frustrated waiting. I do not own an iPad yet and have held out for a while. A local seller has a new 32GB wifi iPad 1 for $340 cash. Not bad. Should I? I'm going to try again tomorrow morning at the Apple store for the iPad 2 ... but I keep thinking how much I'll save on iPad 1 ...
Another seller has a 64GB wifi/3G iPad 1 for $500 ... also tempting ...

It's really difficult to offer advice when we know nothing about your needs. But if your primary interest is in gaming, then I'd definitely advise the iPad 2. Benchmarks are showing its graphics performance to be much higher than the iPad 1. And of course if the cameras are of interest than the iPad 2 would be a must. For general productivity use - email, notes, web surfing, etc - then the iPad 1 might be just fine for you; mine has been serving me well in that role.
If you can post more about what your needs and likes are, or what is driving you to consider an iPad, we might be able to offer more informed opinions. Ultimately it will come down to what features you need and how much you're willing to spend for them.
Regards.

I am trying to set up a new ipad 2 for my wife.

I found my name and number under her contacts on the new ipad. I chose to send a text message to MY phone number from HER ipad. When I recieved the message, it showed up as coming from my name... WHY?

Cara,
If those email addresses are already in use somewhere else, you can get new email addresses for your kids. You can do this via your ISP, or by one of the free email services such as hotmail, yahoo, or gmail.

Can I trade in a Brand New iPad 2 for the New iPad?

I have had the iPad 2 since late July 2011 in Australia. Since then it has had some problems, one major one recently was the screen near the Home Button starting to peel off.
I took it in to the apple shop and the next day i picked but a brand new iPad 2, and have restored all my old stuff on it.. and now i am wondering if i can swap this for the new iPad?
Thanks

Apple don't do trade-ins - all they do is allow returns if you bought it from them within the past 14 days. If you want the new model then will probably get more for your current one by selling it privately and then buying the new one, and not looking for a store that does trade-ins.
