Why does my IPad have an incorrect location?

My IPad keepssaying I am in Herndon, VA. How can I correct this problem?

So I assume you aren't in Herndon, VA? If you are would you go by and drop off a present with my cousin in Reston, VA?
If not, do you have an iPad WiFi+3G or just the WiFi? If the latter it picks up its location from nearby routers. You may be connecting one that has not been updated in the Apple database. If it isn't yours doing it, check with your neighbors, especially any new ones. It is a real conversation starter, "Hi, I'm your neighbor. Did you and your router happen to just move here from Herndon, VA?". Then give it time and the router will be updated.
You might also take your iPad some distance away, to a Starbucks say, and try location services again. Take your new neighbor from Herndon and buy them a latte. If the location is correct it is their router causing issues.
You might also want to try Resetting your iPad. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red OFF slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.

Why does my ipad keep saying incorrect username or password when i try to set up my mail.

I have both the iphone and now the ipad. My mail works fine on my iphone, The emails are my own for my own businesses but i have never had a problem with the settings (pop3). My wife has emails also for the same companies and they work fine on her iphone.
BUT when i try setting yup the same mail accounts on my ipad it keeps telling me the unsername or password are incorrect - i know they are not. I did wonder if it was down to the fact that i wanted to set it up on two devices (couldnt see why this would be an issue but thought it worth trying) so i set up a brand new email account and i am still getting the same response - it will let me send emails from the ipad BUT it will not receive them. I have deleted it and re-installed it but always the same message
Just upgraded to IOS6 but i still get the same issue
Help me please as this is driving me mad

how are you connecting to the internet?
think is many mobile network providers block various ports which some mail services rely on

Why does my iPad have yellow like spots on the screen when the screen is on dark images.?

When I open dark images, my iPad has this yellow like spots around the screen next to the bezel. It only happens when there is a dark screen like for instance when a YouTube video is loadeding or when I have dark pictures. Is this normal.? Or should I take it to the Apple Store.?

first of all was your ipad dropped on a hard floor or something if not then you should just take it to apple as that is not normal you should probably get the device replaced

Why does my iPad have a black screen and won't turn on even when I try charging it

Not charging
1. Reset iPad
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

Why does my ipad have imessage on it but my sisters does?

Why does my iPad have three lines on the left side of the screen.

My iPad has three lines that goes all the way to the top, over the bars for Att and all the way down over the keyboard.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Can anyone help me? Why does my ipad kick me out of FB? Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top? I would like to know why this happens and what I can check or change to make it stop. I have 50.8 GB of capacity available; it is version IOS 5.1.1; model MC497LL. It is WIFI and internet via AT&T? Can anyone give me some clues on what to do; or change in settings??? Thank you very much!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Why does the ipad ask me for my itunes id everytime I open it up? I have my itunes password entered in the settings.

Why does my iPad ask me for my Apple password everytime I open it up? I have my Itues password entered in SETTINGS.

It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.

Why does my Ipad keep going black and then back to the apple logo. It eventually goes to the start page but then blacks out again. I have already rebooted several times with no luck!!

Why does my Ipad 2 keep going black ahd back to the apple logo. It eventually goes to the home screen and allows me to try something else but after about 30 seconds it happens again. I have already rebooted several times?

Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

It might be because the billing address you provided doesn't exactly match your bank records. It has to match your statement exactly. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

HT4623 Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

Why does my IPad not have a Software Updates button in my General tab?

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
To update, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Your iPad should be updated to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change - though google do have app versions in the store
