Screen on iPad Air Feels Different When Touching Than iPad 2

i just got an iPad Air and while it works great, and the screen is responsive, it feels different when I touch the screen to do something, than my iPad 2 did, or the iPad Mini w/retina display I had for a day before exchanging it for the Air. Both of those, as well as my iPhone all feel firm when you touch/press it. In fact, I always thought that "typing" on the iPad 2 was annoying because it did feel like there was no "give" to the screen. But in the case of the iPad Air, there is a distinctly different feel when touching, pressing, typing....it seems to give a little...it's a little "spongey"....it feels more like touching plastic than glass perhaps...
Does anyone else notice this? Could it be because the Air is so thin? (But so was the mini and I did NOT notice it there).
In all of this I am concerned that there COULD be something wrong with the screen, although other than how it FEELS, there are no other signs at all of a problem.
Any comments are welcome...thanks.

Jeff, first excusme for my English i write from Spain. I also remarked different the iPad air screen than the previous model. I get the feeling that it is harder to answer, especially on the sides. Also sometimes when I want to deploy a tab id hard to "obey" the first time.

Have you tried turning the screen brightness setting to a higher level?

I synced about 50 books to my new ipad air 2. When I click any other books, the sync starts all over again for all books (it shows 51 books syncing). If I abort the sync, all of a sudden, all books are gone from my ipad. I don't know why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

My ipad air freezes up when i try to go into icloud in settings?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

TS3899 Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone.

Cannot send email with new iPad air. Works fine with old iPad and iPhone. I have deleted account and reinstalled.

Thanks. I got the problem fixed. Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor. It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner. Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail. I checked all the specifics between the three units. It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com to TWC.com. Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.

I recently upgrade to an iPAD Air. I gave my old iPAD (1st gen) to my wife. I restored it to original factory conditions. Now we cannot install iBook on it since it requires iOS 7. What can we do with older iPADS that are still 100% functional.

Look at this similar problem in getting Netflix on an iPad 1. Same technique should work for you.

My ipad air spends more time buffering than it should

My iPad Air spends more time burreing than it should. I have 3 iPads 1 and 3 generation and the Air. The 2 older iPads don't have this problem. Is there a setting that is causing this or dose my Air have a problem???

Hello DLM100,
Internet connection on your iPad Air is slower than expected. I recommend reviewing the section titled "Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected" in the following article for the issue you described:

TS1702 Just bought iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one game. How can I get the app on this iPad? It does not even show up in purchased apps.

Just bought an iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one. The app does not appear in my purchased apps. How can I move this app over?

Some apps do indeed come off the market. The vendor stops selling or supporting them for whatever reason.
That is likely what happened.
See if the app is still in the App Store. If so, you can download it. If not, it is gone.

Is "ipad Air retina display" another name for "ipad Air 2"?

Is "ipad Air retina display" another name for "ipad Air 2"?

I guess you could call it that if you wanted to but the iPad Air 2 is known by the name "iPad Air 2". The name "iPad with Retina Display" was first given to what is now known as the iPad 3rd generation which now goes by the name "iPad 3rd generation". Same goes for the IPad 4th generation.

Does the ipad use a different cell number than my at&t cell?

does the ipad use a different cell number than my at&t cell?

Are you talking about in Messages? I believe that the iPad will pick up the phone number of an iPhone on the same Apple ID through the iMessage/iCloud servers.

My mother got an iPad air after she thought her old iPad was locked up with voice over anyway it says to hook to itunes i told it to fetch from the iCloud and it wont hook up to iTunes can someone help?

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

IPad Air playlist stops when in background

I have an iPad Air with version 7.1.2. I have a playlist of songs and have selected "Repeat Playlist" and even "Repeat Song", but when the music is in the background I have my clock app (Alarm Clock HD) running the playlist goes through the rotation once then stops. I have tried another clock app with the same result. I have deleted all songs and playlists, re-synced, same problem. If the playlist is running in the foreground it continues to play even with the sleep screen. Any suggestions on how or why the playlist will not work with another app running in the foreground? With my 1st gen iPad I did this all the time without a problem.

It COULD be the battery indicator reading incorrectly.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). This will help determine if the battery is good - how much operating time did you get? It is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
If there is excessive battery drain, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Help with iPad Air Replacement? When will it arrive?

Hey guys, this is my first time here so hopefully im doing everything correctly.
Basically, I recently ordered a NEW iPad Air a few days ago (two days ago). It still has active warranty. However, as soon as i opened it and turned on the screen, i Noticed that the left side had a yellow tint which really bothered me.
So I ordered an iPad replacement, and apple just sent me an email saying that they'll ship a box in which i can put my iPad in and send it to them.
Here are my questions:
1). Lets say I get my replacement, and it has a similar issue or some other issue. Will I be able to send in the replacement for another replacement?
2). Will the replacement have an active warranty?
3). Will the replacement iPad be new or refurbished?
4). When will I get my replacement iPad (average). One week, two weeks, couple of days...etc.?
5). Will I have to ship my original iPad via USPS, FED EX, UPS...etc? I have a USPS post office right next to my house so its very convenient for me if its USPS. Not so if its FED EX or UPS...I'm currently living in Maryland, USA
Thank you guys! Sorry for the long questions, but I'm really stumped right now. I can't believe a $600 product has such as screen defect Thanks to everyone who answers this in advance!
Also, where do I post questions like these to? I couldn't find any community related to apple support, and this was the closest category...sorry for any confusion.

If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
