Refurbished iPad 2 Questions

I just order a refurbished iPad 2 but I have a couple of questions. If my iPad is jailbroken, will apple still fix it if it has to do with a internal problem ? And if I got my iPad from the states and return to Canada, will Canadain apple retail store help me ?
Thank you

if it's jail broken the apple store won't touch it. you voided your warranty when you did that and it doesn't matter if there's a mechanical issue (same if your ipad had a bad button then you dropped it, oncce you drop it and do that 'accidental damage' the button doesn't matter)
as to us vs canada, it's my understanding that the apple warranty is world wide.

Refurbished iPad Question

I would like to purchase an iPad for a family member as a Christmas gift. I am interested in a refurbished unit, but don't want to appear cheap (even though I am cheap!). Does a refurbished iPad purchased from Apple appear new, and come in a new box? Or is it clearly labeled "Refurbished"?
Thanks
Frank

From what I've read in these forums, a refurb iPad comes in a brown box whereas a new iPad comes in a white box. I don't think it's labeled refurbished. A refurb iPad has a new screen, new battery and usually a new back, and has the same 1 year warranty as a new iPad.
From Apple's refurb web page

               Fast, free shipping on all refurbished products.

Refurbished iPad mini question

Is there a difference between the refurbished iPad minis sold on Walmart.com and the refurbs sold by Apple?
Thanks,
Sunny

They are not the same item, Apple only sells their refurbished equipment and it carries a full one-year warranty. The items from Walmart are not refurbished by Apple and carry only 90 day warranty

What is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include iOS 5 and iCloud or not

hallo guys
anybody can help me
my question is what is the disadvantage of refurbished ipad and if i buy one does it include iOS 5 and iCloud or not
thanks in advance to answer me
Best regards

The warranty on an iPad, even a refurbished one, will still be valid in Egypt. It's only the iPhone that does not have an international warranty. Just make sure you don't buy a Verizon-model iPad, which cannot be serviced anywhere but in the US (and won't work with any other cell carrier either).
Note that refurbished iPads are available only via the online Apple Store, and they accept only US credit cards and will only ship to US addresses. This may not be a problem for you, but I wanted to make sure you were aware.
Regards.

Refurbished iPad not working right - return to Apple store?

Hey guys -- Simple question here but one I didn't see on a quick search.
Picked up a refurbished iPad 2 on May 10th. The other day when I picked it up while playing a YouTube video, the screen faded to black quickly, almost like I'd hit the power button. Didn't think much of it. However, tonight, it's doing it again, and I'm able to duplicate it every time. If I have the iPad in landscape mode and laying flat on a surface, with the home button to the right, and I lift up on the top edge, the screen will immediately fade to black and wait a few seconds before I can turn it back on again.
I do use this for my job (sound tech) so I definitely need it to be reliable, and now I'm a bit concerned about it. I'd like to get it taken care of locally if possible so that I'm not without it as long for work, and there's an Apple store fairly close (MacArthur Mall, Norfolk, VA). But since I purchased it on Apple's site, am I going to have to deal with them, or can they take care of things at the store? I can't imagine they have a pile of refurbs to swap it out with.
If I do have to go through the online store, has anyone dealt with them who can tell me an estimated real-life return time? I need to know if I should buy another iPad to get me through the next few jobs or if this will be back quick enough.
Thanks!

You do not have to go through the online store. You can go to an Apple Retail Store. It still has warranty so ou are entitled to a free replacement if the Apple Store Genius is not able to fix the problem.

I just ordered an iPad 4 32gb from Amazon but sold by a store called iPadShop. In the customer reviews there were several reports of this store selling used and refurbished iPads as new. How can i verify mine is new and not used when it arrives.?

Ok, first time here, so forgive me if Im repeating the question. I just ordered a NEW iPad 4 32gb from Amazon, but is actually being sold by a seller called "iPadShop". Although this seller got a high approval rating of 4.9 there were several reports of customers receiving used and refurbished iPads but sold as new. Once I receive mine how can I verify it is new. Also, even the ones that were new were purchased by this seller and then resold, which shortened the life of the 1 year warranty offered by Apple..?

If you just ordered it, I suggest you cancel your order as soon as possible. If you can't contact Amazon, call your credit card company and cancel payment on that. Why go through worrying about the ipad you are paying for as new? If it's to save money, then that can be defeated if you get a used or refurbished ipad with a less than full one year warranty. You'll be dealing with the ipad shop's return policy which could mean that once you open it, it's yours, unlike when you buy from Apple you have a full 14 days to return it even if you've opened it.
I looked at Amazon and did not see a price difference. If cost led you to buy from Amazon, what are you saving?
I suggest you buy it directly from Apple. If cost is an issue, consider buying a refurbished ipad from the Apple online Refurbished store. I would not buy a refurbished anything from anywhere but the Apple online refurb store.
The ipad 4 32 gb is $499.00 refurbished - a savings of $100.00 vs. a new one. We bought two ipads last year and one as a gift this year and they have been great!
All ipads sold in the Apple refurb store come with new front and back covers, a brand new battery, a full one year warranty, and in case it matters, come in a new white Apple box like all ipads do. Earphones and charger are also included. You can also get the new Apple Care +, which insures up to three breakages (damaged glass, water damage, etc.) in two years.
Hope this helps.

Can I cancel the contract with AT&T immediately after I purchased a refurbished ipad mini 2?

Hello, I was a student in the US and I am exchanging to Europe for one year now. I would like to buy a refurnished Ipad mini 2 with AT&T for my study in Europe, which means I don’t need to use AT&T in the next year.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FF066LL/A/refurbished-ipad-mini-2-wi-fi-cellul ar-for-att-16gb-space-gray
It shows we can cancel the contract with out penalty on Apple website. However, I still have some questions:
1. How to cancel the AT&T contract, if I am not in the US already.
2. It is supposed can be use for other carrier in Europe, right? (Unlocked/ international)
Is there anyone can solve my problem? Thank you so much!

I am in Europe at this moment.
If I just get a unlocked and without contract ipad mini that would be handy for me:)
But the name of the product is "
Refurbished iPad mini 2 Wi-Fi + Cellular for AT&T 16GB - Space Gray".
I heard that the refurbished products do not under any contract....it was under AT&T before.
Is it right?
"Cellular for AT&T" confused me ;$

Refurb iPad questions

My family just bought a refurbished 3rd-generation iPad from a third-party web store. The refurb iPad appears to be the same as this model on the Apple Store, but with a deeper discount price tag: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD330LL/A/refurbished-ipad-with-wi-fi-64gb-whi te-3rd-generation
I have a few questions:
1: will this model be able to update to iOS 8?
2: none of us have experience with iOS devices. Is there a database of iPad software that will help us seek out and identify an app that can be used for timing outdoor sled dog races? Some races are two-day races, with the total times added for both days to get the "final" total time.
3: Can an iPad like this be used to connect wirelessly to an HDTV or a digital projector to deliver presentations? Will this iPad be able to do this right out of the box, or do we need to add something?
4: In a discussion thread on a Tom Bihn forum, an Apple education sales employee posted a video demonstrating his use of a backpack as a mobile office.
http://www.tombihn.com/forums/photos-videos-reviews/6905-my-first-whats-my-bag-v ideo-synapse-25-a.html
His video showed how he carries all that he needs to use an iPad Mini, AppleTV and other accessories to make digital business presentations wirelessly while pitching to education clients on-the-road. Will this refurb iPad be able to do the same thing, using the same accessories he shows in his video? The reason I ask is that my family has a regional business and they may want to take the iPad to make presentations while on the road. I was wondering if a similar setup would work for them.
5: This refurb is sold through a third-party web-store. Does that mean there will be no warranty?
6: What accessories will my family need to recharge this iPad while on the road, using a car's ciggie lighter / power port? Are there any really good quality accessories that they can seek out for this?

You didn't say which model of iPad you got - is it the WiFi only or the WiFi+3G model?
iPad 3rd Gen came out in March 2012 and was discontinued in Nov 2012 when the 4th Gen model came out -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad for the iPad history of different models.
iPad 3 will work with iOS 6, 7 or 8 - but before updating to a specific iOS version you might want to make sure of the apps you wanna use and which iOS version they require. Once you upgrade you can't go backwards, so keep that in mind.
As far as a timing app for sled dog races a quick check on the App Store didn't show anything related to sled dog racing timing, but found something called "Race Beacon" from Vega Discoveries - see https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/race-beacon/id866715826?ls=1&mt=8 for more info. I would think any generic timing app would work that can do multi-day events.
Keep in mind that only 3G iPad models (not the WiFi only ones) have GPS capability, but it uses a lot of battery according to the Race Beacon app -- "Please be aware: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
Using the iPad to put up presentations to projectors is doable but with a MacBook driving the projector and the iPad streaming to the MacBook using something like AirPlay to software like AirParrot or Reflector type apps. You can also send your iPad screen images to an AppleTV but have not personally done this (I have used iPad 3 with Reflector and AirParrot). See this for lots of ideas on using iPad video streamed to other devices:
http://learninginhand.com/blog/5-ways-to-show-your-ipad-on-a-projector-screen.ht ml
As for the warranty, call Apple and give them the serial number of the iPad to check if it's still under any AppleCare extended warranty and if it is you should be able to take advantage of it -- see https://www.apple.com/support/products/faqs.html for details.
Another couple of apps I really like are AudioNote by Luminant Software (see http://luminantsoftware.com/iphone/audionote.html for more info) - it does both audio and regular notes and keeps track of written notes and when they happened during the audio recording. Very handy and easy to keep track of when things occurred during the audio recording session and they make an OS X version as well. My favorite app of all time for the iPad is called "Elements" - amazing graphics about all the periodic table elements - really shows the graphics power of the iPad and has all kinds of stories about how elements got named, what they are used for and all kinds of trivia about the things that make up this universe -- see http://apps.theodoregray.com/the-elements/?tpnav=1 for more info.
Have fun with your new iPad and good luck in the dog sled races.

Refurbished Ipad 2 with broken screen

I bought a refurbished ipad 2 from the apple store. I know apple does not fix but replaces. I may pay arround $250 to replace. My question is would they give me a brand new one or a refurbished?

We cannot speak for Apple on this forum - we are just Apple users.
But as an Apple user, my strong advice to you is to expect a refurbished and not a new unit.

Refurbished ipad 2 ios 4.3 or new ipad 2 ios 5

Should i get a refurbished ipad 2 ios 4.3 for $100 cheaper or get it new with ios 5?

If your only reason for considering the extra $100 expense is to get iOS5, this would not matter. If you buy the refurb iPad 2 and connect to iTunes on your computer, you'll be able to download iOS 5.0.1, the most current version of iOS. So, the question is really whether you want to have a refurbished unit, with a reduced warranty as opposed to a brand new unit, with a 1 year warranty. Only you can decide that........

I am thinking of buying a iPad but should i get a iPad 3 16gb or save £40 and get a refurbished iPad 2 32gb?....which one?

so i know the ipad 3 has better screen and graphics etc. but when you come to think about it the ipad 2 has the same things almost but it is really hard to decide so please help!

I am trying to setup a refurbished iPad and I get a message block that appears repeatedly stating "No SIM card installed."

How do I remove an informational message that repeatedly appears on the center of my screen of the refurbished iPad that I am trying to set up. The message is "No SIM card installed."

Hi Saddledoc,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you are getting a message that the iPad has No SIM Card installed. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If you see 'No SIM' alert on iPhone - Apple Support
