White iPad users: is the white frame distracting?
I love the look of the white iPad but I'm just wondering, when you are watching video, particularly in a dim environment, is the white frame around the screen distracting? I'm thinking maybe it makes more sense to have a black screen just for visual comfort....?
"The white bezel looks good, aesthetically — very similar to the infamous white iPhone 4s that I played with after last year’s WWDC keynote. But, I found the white bezel distracting. With the black, the frame disappears from mind when you’re using the iPad. With the white, it always seemed like I was looking at a white frame around the screen. There’s a reason why movies are letterboxed with black bars, not white ones, and why most TVs are framed by black." (Source)

My iPad keeps flashing the white apple and I cannot turn it off
I downloaded iOS 7, 6 days ago, I was closing an app when the screen froze and now I just get the flashing white apple, and I cannot turn it off.
Did you try to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect again in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 -

If you connect your iPad to your computer and run iTunes, does it appear under DEVICES on the left side of the iTunes window? If it does, select it and click on Restore.

I am saving up to buy a new iPad (2013 model) when it comes out. Supposedly it will be similar in design to the iPad mini. I just can't decide what colour to get, black or white? Would white be distracting? Or would it make the screen pop out, (or just the opposite?)
One thing I will say about the black ipad is that the retina screen would probably stand out more than it would on a white ipad. Although the screen still looks great whether its a black or white ipad.
That black border thing you were on about is a tad annoying but I don't really notice it much on my white ipad and even in other black devices I have which aren't apple I still get the black border and its still just as noticeable for me.
I can't believe apple will be working on their 5th generation of ipad.. And that's not including the mini! Its all so rushed :(! -
How do I avoid the white line that forms around objects I've separated from a background?
This is a cropped corner of an illustration I removed from its opaque background and placed on a transparent background. The north and west borders show the whilte line that forms whenever I place objects on a transparent background. The south and east borders are the cropped edges -- they are clean and make the trasition from object to background color without that white line. With some objects, it's possible to use the Plygonal Lasso Tool, for instance, and trim that object away from the background. With portraits or irregularly shaped objects, though, it's necessary to use the Magic Wand or other means to trim the background away from the object, which results in that unwanted white line. I've read for hours online about this problem and have found no true resolution: Defringing, Removing White Matte, Anti-aliasing, trying to predict what color you'll lay the silhouette on and working in that color, and on and on. It seems as though Photoshop would be relied upon heavily by professionals who need to place objects on top of one another without intrusion. Does anyone have a method that really works?
Hi! If the solutions you mentioned aren't working for your project, it might be worth learning a little bit about Layer Masks. This is a page that explains how Layer Masks work. http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/masking-layers.html
A Layer Mask is a black-and-white image that corresponds to your source image applied in such a way that white areas display and black areas don't. So for your project, you would want to use Photoshop to turn your scanned illustration into a black-and-white image where the area you want to keep is white, and the area you don't want to keep is black. Here is a demo using your uploaded image:
1. Open your image in Photoshop. Right-click on your source layer in the Layers Palette and select Duplicate Layer.
2. With the upper layer selected, use Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturate to turn the layer black-and-white.
3. Use Image -> Adjustments -> Invert to reverse the black and white. Now the white background should be black.
4. With the upper layer selected, use Image -> Adjustments -> Levels. Move the black, white, and gray arrows such that there is a hard black-and-white contrastwhere you want the white background to be removed.
5. You may have to use the lasso tool or the brush tool to complete the silhouette of the image against the white background.
6. With the upper, black-and-white layer selected, Edit -> Select All and Copy. Turn the layer visibility off so that you are again looking at the original image.
7. With the lower layer selected, click the Layer Mask icon. Alt-click on the Layer Mask to edit the Mask directly.
8. Edit -> Paste to apply the black-and-white image you created as a Layer Mask. If you then click the layer icon again, you should be looking at your correctly cropped image!
Hope this helps. -
How do I iMessage from my iPhone to an iPad user?
I can iMessage from an ios5 iPhone to another iPhone and from an iPad to another iDevice all OK
but how do you enter an email address into iMessage on an iPhone so I can iMessage an iPad user? The problem is that iMessage on the iPhone only allows you to enter phone numbers or contacts (which are then restricted to phone numbers even though they may have email addresses associated with them) ?
Regards
GaryI noticed that the emails show without @ and .
Tried to imitate it, I even noticed that some letters are capitalized tried doing so too...
But no it doesn't work...
You either have to access it from contacts, or type the email in the message box then copy and paste in the recipient's box, or simply wait till thy person contacts you to reply...
Which for me is a real bothering issue...
This needs to be fixed ASAP to allow us to write an email in the recipient box in iMessage, and it needs to allow us to choose an email and not just a phone number once a contact is chosen from within the message.app...
It's definitely a bug, or let's say a slip... I can't see how all those developers who beta tested didn't notice it!!!
And it needs fixing ASAP... -
As a Professional Photographer, I chose to buy an IPad 4 for only one reason and that was the amazing color and clarity of the Photo Gallery as a mobile Portfolio.
Originally the background color of the IPad 4 Gallery was BLACK and this facilitated the photos greatly, photos look better and stand out better on a BLACK background. White backgrounds cause a glare eminating from the edges of the photo and cause iris in our eyes to close down, degrading the quality of the photo being viewed.
I updated to ios 7 and now my IPad 4 has a WHITE background, which is unacceptable for viewing photos.
HOW DO I CHANGE the WHITE background on the Photo/Gallery/COLLECTIONS to BLACK?
Apple should ALWAYS give USERS/OWNERS of their products control of such details. IT'S JUST GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!Vancouver22 Thanks for your help... the SLIDESHOW turned black for me automatically when the slideshow began. That works most excellent!
Now if I can just get the White Background to STAY BLACK, this might not be as painful as I feared.
My IP4 does lag slightly, but not enough to set fire to it yet.
The gallery/COLLECTIONS/ALBUMS are the most important thing to me.
Thanks!

How come the white color ipad's body is in silver color?
I just got my ipad 2 today.. I really disapppointed when i see some diffrent.. How come the white color ipad's body is in silver color? But yr webpage show the body is white?
Um.....you're not writing Apple here. This is a user to user forum. But, perhaps you should have looked at some more pictures of iPads prior to ordering one. All iPads (Black face or White face) have silver metal bodies, that wrap up the side to the glass front.

I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!
Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
Good luck & happy computing! -
The ipad screen is white. Holding buttons didn't work so I restored it on iTunes. When I press home and on switch, the screen is white, goes black then back to white with no logo at all.

HT1454 iPad 2, using the 30-pin to HDMI adapter - White Snow/Noise
I have an iPad 2 using the Apple HDMI adapter - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter
I actually have 2 adapters and have tried them both with the same results. Both adapters work as intended on my HDTV. However when I attempt to use them on my HD projector I get White Noise/Snow/Static.
Projector - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824219118
The projector finds the source fine but then displays the static instead of the iPad screen. The iPad screen will flicker into view every minute or so for about 1 second. Then back to the static. I have used many other HDMI devices with these projectors (I have 2 and they both do the same thing with iPad).
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Has anyone had any luck using the 30-pin to VGA adapter?It will not work on the Original iPad (see compatibility)

Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not. Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph. A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device. Why? How do I avoid this going forward?
I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store. The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

My iPad is frozen with a white rotating circle in the center. How do make the circle stop rotating?
My iPad is frozen with a white rotating circle in the center. How do I unfreeze it?
OK if I understand whats going on.
You have to restore your ipad.
If you backed it up prior to this problem you may not loose everything.
I can tell you how to restore it.
Hold the on/off button and the home button at the same time until the device turns off.
Once the device has turned off without letting go of the home button release the power button and keep holding until the connect to itunes logo appears.
It should be rather obvious now that you have to connect your iPad to the computer.
iTunes on your computer should open automatically if it doesn't open it.
on the side bar of iTunes your ipad should appear.
Click on it.
Then in the centre of the window there should be a restore and/or restore and update button.
Click restore.
the rest of the instructions should appear on the screen.
Assuming the restore was successful.
Leave the iPad plugged in and If you backed up the iPad before it stopped working then you should see a restore from back up there if not you may have to start from scratch. -
My iPad has a white screen after trying to restore. I try and restore again and the same thing happens and we are back at the white screen. How can I get it back?
type HT4097 in the search bar. its unable to update or restore iOS. Follow the instructions and if that does not work then id go to the local apple store.
