Returned 3rd iPad to the store for display woes. QA with Apple?
I bought two 64g 3g black iPads with apple on launch day. In fact I was the first one in the store. One had hair under the glass, backlight bleeding, and bad pixels. The other had bad pixels scattered and a little back light bleeding. Was going to get them switched the next day and the store said they had them and then didn't so I returned the two.
Yesterday, I picked up two new units that were on hold and one had a few dust things under the glass but neither had pixel issues. But the two units both have really really bad backlight bleeding around 3 of the 4 edges. I have heard this is the glue drying, but my first gen. iPad 1 of the same spec is what I would define as perfect. Is there any truth that anyone has seen with the backlight bleeding going away or dissipating over the last week?
The store is friendly about the issues, but to wait 13 hours, make multiple and unnecessary trips is very frustrating. I simply wonder what happened to quality control. Almost as if Apple decided to throw it out the window in favor of getting enough units out.
Any thoughts or suggestions on if this bleeding will go away? I really would hate to have to return the 4th one when I intended to buy two and so far only one of four has been mediocre versus the rest being unacceptable.
I also bought an iPad 3 64G and had to return it due to light bleeding. The second replacement again had the same issue. I returned it to the apple store but before accepting the 3rd replacement I asked to check for light bleeding and discovered it had the same issue. The apple representative opened a 4th iPad and surprise surprise! the same issue. At this point they had ran out of stock so sent me the a different store. I was unable to check the 5th ipad at the store so took it home but again the same issue. I call apple support and a 6th iPad will be posted out to me once I return the 5th. Apple had no issued changing the devices and I can't fault the apple representatives who helped me but considering the ipad 3 is all about the screen, Apple obviously have a quality issue with the optical system and need to address it ASAP. It shouldn't be quantity rather than quality!!!!

im trying to sync notes on my iPhone and iPad with my new MacBook pro.
Although I don't see the generic "apple notes ap" on the macbookpro. Any suggestions?eww,
When I first opened the mail i didn't have the option of the "go to" and choose notes because i hadn't created the mailbox. I 've only had the mac for 3 days. None the less I created the notes mailbox which apparently falls under "Reminders".
Will this "notes mailbox" eventually sync with my ipad and iphone. I have created several notes on the ipad but still don not see them in the "notes mailbox" on my mac?
Thks very much! -
Can I return my iPad in the states if I bought it at an apple store in the UAE because I wasn't aware it didn't come with FaceTime at the time?
Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

I sent an email using my mac book pro and later on I return the mac to the store for good. Can I still retreive the email I just sent, how? please help!
Connect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

If I take my original iPad to the store can I get the software updated?
If I take my original iPad to the store can I get the software updated? My home computer does not have room for the backup.
Well, you can do that, but your iPad will be totally erased and you will have to start from scratch. You need to backup your iPad and sync with iTunes before you install the update, because the updating process will erase the iPad completely. The reason that you should use your own computer is so that you can restore from the back and then sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You might want to think about the bigger picture and do something to move some of your files off of your home computer because if the hard drive is full, you are going to have computers problems as well, down the road. There are many inexpensive external hard drives available and you might want to take a look at one. -

Im From United Arab Emirates and I would like to purchase mini Ipad, however, the option for buying doesnt appear for me ?! is there a list of countries !!!!!?
Unfortunately, Toshiba USA doesn't ship there, and it's not available to download. You'd have to see if there's a third-party that could sell you it or have someone you know in the US order it and then ship it to you. Sorry.

I'm going to be a senior this year and my school is switching over to the iPad for classroom activities. Which iPad is the best for taking notes, researching, studying, reading, etc?
I Recommend the iPad Mini Retina, it's not to big, and not to small. It has the speed of the iPad Air due to it having the same 64 Bit chips. ( And it's a lot cheaper!!) I have one myself and it's perfect for my school work!
