To buy or not to buy ipad air

Not exactly a "user" question.  I am new to this and didn't know how to post to the category I wanted.
Anyway, Have never had a tablet.  Am considering the ipad air.  Have seen lots of discussion about freezing and crashing.  Has this problem been fixed yet.  If not, is there a particular touter that solves the problem, or a particular set up that fixes things.  I like the air, however am worried about this wifi problem.  I don't think the Samsung Galaxy 10 or the Nexus 10 has this crashing problem.
Help me to get this air and not have crashing and freezing problems.
Thanks

The reason you see far more reports about iPads crashing is that they are more popular. Yes, iPads crash (rarely). So do Samsung tablets, Nokia Tablets, Mac computers, Windowns computers. I've had an iPad Air for a couple of months now. It has worked perfectly. I don't recall it ever crashing and I don't do anything special to keep it from doing so.

    Welcome to the US!  I think you can just take your ID card to the Apple store or shop online : http://store.apple.com/us/browse/campaigns/education_pricing
    the site has all the info for eligibility and available items for purchase -- I think you can type in your school to see if on list of approved schools. I think the ID checking is rather benign. discounts are modest from what I recall.

  • New Apple Tv will not connect with iPad Air 2

    My new Apple TV will not recognize my iPad Air or Air 2, but will recognize all other devices in the house (iPhone 5c, 5s,  6, iPad mini, MacBook, etc).  What am I missing that the new Airs will not connect? All software is up to date. they are on same network.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Multi gestures not working on iPad Air ios8 onwards

    Multi gestures not working on iPad Air ios8 onwards. Turning gestures off then on works briefly. It's annoying. Is the Air bust? In for rep-air?

    MMine has not been working ever since ios8 update. Apple blamed a game I have on the iPad, however this problem occurs on all apps including apple own brand.
    ITs it's almost like they don't care
    come on Apple sort this out !! It's been too long

  • Quicklook (jpg) is not working in iPad Air

    Quicklook (jpg) is not working in iPad Air; only option is airdrop or sharing/opening in the apps - Flickr, Dropbox, PS, etc.

    Are you saying that when you receive an email that has a photo attached you cannot see it in the Msil app?
    Try quitting the mail app and then reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    After upgrading to iOS8, I noticed whenever I get a phone call from my iPhone (regular call, not Facetime), my iPad Air rings.
    How can I turn this feature OFF ? It's annoying having 2 devices ring at the same time.

  • Facebook videos not playing on iPad Air(safari browser)

    Why do my Facebook videos not play in iPad Air(safari browser) but same video play nicely on iPhone 4(safari browser). It asks me to download flash player to play on iPad but plays fine on iPhone without giving any prompt to download flash player.

    You should not have trouble playing using the FaceBook app.

  • App Store will not load on iPad air 2

    my App Store will not load on iPad air 2. It's just a blank white screen

    Hello, Pofolksx4. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would need clarification on what the exact issue you are experiencing with the App Store to provide a better answer.  However, here are some troubleshooting steps that will help.
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

    Downloaded a book from itunes, works on iphone6, but will not open on ipad air. "not formatted correctly ". Any ideas ?

    Hello colinOxford0917,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with iBooks on your devices. If you continue to have issues opening the book in question on your iPad Air due to a format error, you may want to try deleting the copy on your iPad, then redownloading it directly to your iPad from the iBook Store. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • Can I buy iPad air in japan for use in Indonesia?

    Can I buy an iPad air in japan for use in Indonesia?

    The forums are littered with people asking similar questions but the answer is always that you should not consider only the technical implications of doing so.
    Will it work? Probably, but you may not be able to take full advantage of the LTE connectivity because the LTE frequencies differ by both country and operator. The iPad would default back to 3G speeds. Secondly, an iPad Air bought in Japan is warranted ONLY in Japan. If something goes wrong, you will need to physically get it back there for service or replacement under warranty.
    It's very likely worth waiting (if it's not yet available) or spending the extra money to buy it in Indonesia but the choice is ultimately yours.

  • Buying iPad Air from Dubai

    I am thinking of buying an iPad Air 32 GB Wifi+Cellular from Dubai. However I will be mostly using it in Bahrain or Singapore or India.
    I need to know two things in this context:
    1. Is the warranty (international?) applicable in the above mentioned countries?
    2. Does the iPad Air in UAE come without FaceTime / iCloud? I couldn't see any reference to this on the Apple UAE Store though.
    (I will be surprised if it doesnt have, because whatever iPads/iPhones that I have seen in Bahrain do come with FaceTime (including mine) and they are all imported from UAE!)
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks, I will prefer not to take a chance.
    | also have an option to purchase from HK. I know iPads are sold with FaceTime there, but are iPads locked to carrier? Because like I said, I will be using it in other countries and need an LTE unlocked version.

  • HT4572 If I buy iPad Air with a carrier and cancel it can I use other abroad?

    I'm from Bulgaria and my question is can I buy an iPad Air cellular with one of the proposed carriers can I disable it and use other in my country? If i buy it from Amazon do I have to look for unlocked one?

    Apple Australia are selling the iPhone 3G for A$719, the iPhone 3Gs 16 GB for A$879, the iPhone 3Gs 32 GB for A$1040. No contract. After allowing for tax differences, at the moment these are around $100 more expensive than USA prices (Apple tend to set and keep prices relative to the date the item was released, regardless of further changes in exchange rates). This is about A$500 more than an equivalent iPod Touch, so you are paying a premium.
    I am also contemplating buying a replacement iPhone without a phone contract, as most of the time I do not need to use the amount of call time required by a contract. I can already change my data package on a month to month basis. My use pattern is generally a couple of months with no real need for a phone, followed by slightly less than a month of intensive data use, usually in remote areas. Also my partner really, really wants to grab my existing iPhone to replace the iPod Touch she grabbed earlier. The extra iPhone facilities really do give it a decent edge over the iPod. In particular, the always present camera proved way more handy than I ever expected. So I am being encouraged to upgrade.
    Still unknown is whether I can change SIM cards on an ad hoc basis. All major Australian phone companies sell iPhones (except most have stock shortages). Some carriers are only workable in major cities (but have cheap pre paid cards). Others are really expensive, but work well in country areas. Being able to run multiple appropriate SIM cards on different carriers would be really helpful.
