Odd Behavior of iPad in Dock -- Anyone Else Having This Problem?
I connected my iPad dock to my stereo system. Last week I docked my iPad to play Pandora. After about an hour, the music went off. I went to the iPad to see what was happening and I noticed the iPad was randomly doing things. While I was watching (and not touching anything), it got out of Pandora and went to the home screen. It opened Settings and turned Bluetooth off. Then it went back to the home screen, flipped through a few more screens and opened a Solitaire game. At that point I pulled the iPad off the dock. Everything worked normally again. I tried it again yesterday with the docked iPad playing from my iPod music. After about an hour the same type of thing started to happen. The artist I had selected to play stopped and another artist started to play. Then the music stopped altogether and it went back to the home screen, opened the email app and started scrolling through my emails. Again I took the iPad off the dock. I talked to an Apple Expert this morning who had me reset my iPad (which I wasn't thrilled with because all the apps moved all over the place). If I don't plug my iPad into the dock it works just great, which leads me to believe it's a dock problem, possibly a short circuit somewhere. I know this is a stretch, but is anyone else out there having this same odd problem? Thanks! Tom

Two days ago my iPad 3 and IPad 2 started to crash very unexpectedly. Both iPads have wifi and cellular and both are running iOS 7.0.2. I will be working and suddenly the screen just wipes to black and then the big white Apple appears as if I have done a hard reset. The iPads always come back, but the crashes and unexpected app closures are happening with greater frequency. It happens more with the iPad 3 than with the iPad 2. Until two day ago both iPads had been very stable. I don't keep a lot of apps open and I have plenty of GB of free space. I do hard resets after each event, doesn't help the situation. Did Apple do some kind of update to the OS in the last few days? I was just getting used to the new OS and this is very frustrating. Anyone else having this problem, have a possible answer or solution? Thanks for your help.

Can't get EarPods remote and mic to work with my iPad 3. Anyone else having this problem and, if so, how did they fix it?
I am trying to get my USB headphone and mic to work with Skype but I'm not having any success. I have tried several different headphones with the same result.
What are the system requirements of your headphones & mics? It's possible they are not compatible w/Macs and/or your current OS system. -

You may need to restart the Apple Mobile Device.
Follow the instructions here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows -
After updating to ios 7.0.4, my ipad air will not allow me to turn on the wifi in the settings, and the bluetooth constantly shows a spinning gear in the settings. I'm currently trying to restore factory settings on the ipad for the second time. Powering off did not help. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?
I was going to suggest - Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings, but if you are restoring to factory settings, that should restore the settings back to factory defaults. But if you are restoring from a backup, after restoring to factory settings, try resetting all of the settings and see if that fixes it.
It might be something in your backup. -
TS1702 I cannot get facebook to work on my ipad, anyone else having this problem?
I cannot get facebook to work on my ipad, anyone else having this problem?
Try a reset ( Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until Apple logo appears). Worked on my phone for other sounds like text and mail being extremely low. Might work for you and is quick and easy and you wont loose any of your data. Good luck!

I've updated my ipad to iso7 now the sound is distorted through the speaker and headphones, it is unusable! I wouldn't dare to update my iphone. Is anyone else having this problem? Can't seem to find any fixes online?
A reset should fix it:
Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.
This will reset your device without erasing data, apps or settings. -
After loading iOS 8.0 on my iPad Air, I cannot delete a mailbox in my iCloud email account. I get kicked to the home screen. Anyone else having this problem?

My iPad mini drops the wifi when I read an article. Anyone else having this problem?
When I find an article to read whether it is a magazine or a safari search, the iPad drops the wifi connection. I will then have to go make it reconnect. Anyone else having this problem?
Are you talking about when you use Safari or when you use the Spotlight Search? If it happens in Safari, try clearing Safari, close Safari and reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7 or 8, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. -
I just updated the OS on my IPad. I turned it off and now have retured to it and it won't turn on. Anyone else having this problem?

Try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes solves mysterious problems.
If that does not help, see if this article does: <iOS: Unable to Update or Restore>.

Is anyone else having this problem?
Hey Morrly,
I would follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue you're encountering with using the Pinterest app:
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.
7. If the issue is still unresolved, contact the developer
If you continue to experience the issue, contact the developer of the app for further assistance:
Find the app in the App Store.
Open the app's page, tap Reviews, and then App Support.

Since I downloaded ios7 my Photos freezes up and I cannot send or edit photos. The only way to unfreeze Photos is to completely close it out and re-open it. Even doing that it freezes up every time. Anyone else having this problem?

Is anyone else having this problem? I usually attach photos from my existing camera roll when sending ecards, suddenly starting yesterday, all my photos are being rotated and coming up sideways! I use Blue Mountain.com for my ecards. I called their tech support line, they accessed my account and say they can do it no problem. It is my iPads problem!?? Any help out there. Please no tech speak; basic English only I am a newbie. Thanks for any help provided.
I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
Everytime I put my iphone5 on charge now matter where I am and even when I have signal it always drops the signal and continues to have no signal until I take it off charge. I have the up to date software on it and everything and is relatively new. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?
This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance
