Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help. Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.

Why does my iPad lose the network I'm on when it goes to sleep?

I Just moved in with someone and I have to manually join the network every time I turn my iPad on. Now all of a sudden, every time my iPad goes to sleep it loses the connection all together. I've already tried resetting the network and also location in the settings. Any other ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Why does my iPad backup not show up in iTunes?

Everytime I attempt to backup my iPad, the screen on the iPad goes to the Apple logo startup and either holds on that or intermittently comes back w/ the "Sync in Progress" message. I let it go all the way to completion...it appears in iTunes as if alll is normal (albeit slow). When it completes I check iTunes to see if it's available to restore from and it doesn't show on the list. My hard disk has obviously gotten 20 or so GB more full and there's a new backup file in the Mobile Sync library directory. I have scoured the message boards about this particular problem and have tried almost everything suggested. I delete the backup folder. I do a hard reset on the iPad. I have deleted and removed as much as I can from the iPad and gotten about 5GB of space. I upgraded my MBP OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Some have mentioned deleting and re-installing iTunes, but I figured the OS refresh basically was the equivalent of that. Any other suggestions? Could I/should I consider backing up to my work MBP or is the problem in the iPad itself? Would love to not have to wipe my iPad and lose music and other original files I don't have backed up. But also am patiently waiting to upgrade to iOS 5!
iPad 32 GB WiFi
MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB RAM
Snow Leopard 10.6.8

These are the instructions for that specific code.
Error 40265xxxx: Errors of the 40265xxxx range generally occur during the restore-from-a-backup phase, after iOS has been installed on the device. Restoring the device and setting up as new can resolve the issue. Before restoring as new, take steps to preserve the previous backups created by iTunes, such as copying the contents of the Backup directory onto the desktop. See iPhone and iPod touch: About backups to learn where backups are stored for your computer's operating system and additional precautionary notes regarding setting up as new. The backups created by iTunes store data such as your SMS, Favorites, Bookmarks, and other app data.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error40265
I think you are going to have to restore as new. Deleting that MobileSync backup folder may have caused the problem. When you delete the backup from iTunes like I was asking about, you are only deleting one particular backup. If you have multiple iDevices - all of the backups would be in that one folder - I think that's how it works.
Read the article - even though the heart and soul of it has been pasted into this link already.

Why does the iPad AppStore not show sub categories ?

I always search around on my iPhone and come across a new app but on the iPad you can only see featured apps, is there a reason why it is like this, why we can't browse apps like on the iPhone.

Dude why do you have to be a nub? You know what he means. Don't suggest using your computer to search. That is ignorant. The whole point in getting a iPad is to replace using a computer for easy day to day usage. Especially in this case. Searching the iPad app store is a joke. I been messing around with this thing for a hour trying to do stuff that takes seconds on my iPhone. There is they key statement. iPhone! Can you say iPhone? The iPhone has a superior search function to the iPad. There is absolutely positively no reason get go sit at my computer to search apps when I can do everything I want from the comfort of my bed on my iPhone at night. So apple got it right on the iPhone but dropped the ball on the iPad app store. Sure I can search from my iPhone but I want to search iPad specific apps in the RPG games category. Is that to much to ask? The iPhone already does it so don't say goto your computer. I have bought a ton of games I didn't even know I wanted by searching sub categories on my iPhone. I'd like to think this was a oversight that will be fixed but looking at older post it seems this has been the case for awhile, so it leads me to believe there is some evil pay apple to get yours apps featured thing going on.

Why does my iPad keep asking me to allow cookies when it already does?

Since the weekend my iPad keeps asking for my id and password. When I enter it, it keeps saying I have to allow cookies before I can update anything or use iCloud, the cookies are enabled but it still won't work.
Please can anyone help?
Frustrating.

Hey there Stirrups,
It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iCloud account successfully due to this message that you need to accept cookies but you have that set correctly in Settings. I recommend starting by signing out of your iCloud account in Settings > iCloud. Then closing all the running apps on your iPad:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Why does my iPhone 5c not show any wifi/internet when on wifi screen?

When I go to "Settings" and then go to "Wifi" it trys to load the available wifi connections, but it doesn't load anything. I went on a 3-day camp and there was no wifi, so, I put on airplane mode for most of the camp to play my games and then when I go to my cousin's house no wifi shows up. After that, I came home and no wifi showed up again. Then I searched up on how to fix it and I did everything that was listed, turn cellular data on and LTE on, reset network settings, and restore my iPhone to last backup, and nothing happened it still doesn't show up. If you guys know any way to fix this, reply to this thread or discussion please.

No... FaceTime is permanently removed from devices sold in certain middle eastern countries. There is no way to install it regardless of where the device is being used.

Why does my IPad 3 tell me I have no SIM card. This just happened after owning it for 2 yrs

When I just turned on ipad3 no SIM card came up on screen. This has not ever happened. Went to settings and cellular data but cannot get in. Turned off and on still showing no SIM card. Should I take it to Verizon to check out SIM card?

Remove and re-insert the SIM.
Replace the SIM.
If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

Why does my itouch 3g battery run out so quickly when i use apps?

I recently bought a ipod touch 3g off somebody else. I have found that when I go on to any apps that i have downloaded, the battery reduces. One time I went to play a game for about 20 minutes and went back to the home screen to find my battery had decreased by 20%. Has anyone had the same problem?

If you have iOS 5 installd it ends to drain the battery a little faster. See the following for extending battery life:
iPod: How to extend battery life
Also, with use the battery capacity goes down and % wise it drains faster.

Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can anyone help me? Why does my ipad kick me out of FB? Sometimes to the 'settings' page and sometimes to the desk top?

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.

If you are not using Cellular Data, turn it off.

Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one). If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model. If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below.
If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears. If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

Why does my iPad store show wrong id

In my settings, it shows the right Id. When I go into store to get items or updates, it shows wrong id. How do I fix this?

If you purchased apps with a different Apple ID, you will always have to use that ID in order to update the apps.
If that's not what is happening to you, I don't know what the device would be showing an ID that does not belong to you, unless somebody else used their ID on your iPad. Try swiping to the bottom of the app store featured tab and tap on the Apple ID that is showing in there. Sign out of that ID and sign into yours.
