Why is my iPad (3rd gen) so slow on wifi? My other 2 iPads are blazing fast but the new one is slow on the same network, Why.

I have all three ipads. My home wifi gets 30 mbps speed. Every device in the house is really fast. However, the Newest iPad (4G, 64G) is very slow on any wifi. 4G works acceptably fast, but the wifi is very slow. I've restarted, resynced, reset, restored, and this dosn't help. Any ideas?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Can i change my old iPad with the new one, i Will pay the difference... Do you have this kind of program?

If you are past the return date, you can sell the older iPad and put the money towards a new one.
Plus, old iPads make great gifts ! ! !

Download a free app called expod( Click on the link or google search, as this app is not available through the app store.

How can I change the iCloud account that my iPad backs up to? I now have two iPads. I want the older to go to a new account and the new one to sync to the original account.

iPad sync to the iCloud account

You have to create a new Apple ID for the new iPad. But you really don't want to do that because them you will have to purchase all of your content again because paid content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it originally. You will not be able to download all of your previously purchased content for free.
You can backup multiple iDevices to one iCloud account, I backup my iPod and iPad to one iCloud account. You can always purchase more storage space if you need it. IMO - if you still have a computer - use iTunes. You are only limited by the capacity left on your hard drive when you backup. No need to keep paying for more iCloud storage - again, just my opinion.

IPad 3rd Gen WIFI or GSM?

My iPad 3rd Gen is a 16Gig wifi+cellular version. I did face a problem of getting the error of wrong firmware earlier at times when I tried to restore it by manually downloading the firmware.
The Model stated in About section of Settings is = 'MD369B/A'
I am downloading the firmware iOS 7.0.4
Which firmware should I download, GSM or WIFI ? Kindly guide me!
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Since its cellular you'll want the GSM version.
But now sure where you are getting this option. iTunes will download the correct one Automatically.
If you are a developer and have access to alternate firmware versions then this should be posted in the developer forums.
Other than that, downloading firmware separately is not something supported by Apple.

IPad (3rd gen) loosing screen response while in media shared movie

iPad 3rd Gen - iOS6
Native Videos App
Home Sharing Videos
iTunes 11
Mac Mini - Late 2006 - Snow Leopard
When using the videos app on my iPad to watch movies that are stored on my MacMini (same network) there are some occasions where at a random point of a movie (usually about 5 minutes in) I loose the ability to touch the screen… the home button still works but for some reason the video still plays even though the videos app is no longer in the foreground. To make matters even more confusing I can double press the home button and "kill" the videos app… which usually does just that. But I can still hear the audio of the movie playing over the internal speaker. I can kill every application running and the videos still won't quit and screen touch won't work while the videos app is loaded. The only way to get the video to stop playing is to turn off the wifi and let the buffer run out.
I'll try and get a video of it, as this does sound confusing… especially if others haven't experienced it. It really only started acting up in iOS6. Any ideas?

Issue still the same even after iTunes making its own 'version for iPad/Apple TV'

IPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

iPad 3rd Generation frozen after reset was done. I get a logo but no status bar

Hello there, darney87.
The following Knowledge base article offers up some great troubleshooting steps for the issue you're describing with your iOS device showing an Apple logo:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

I use iBookAuthor to make a textbook for my students; I revised it, including title page, but when I export it and upload it to my iPad, the old title page appears, even though I've deleted the older version of the text before I upload the new one.

Last year I produced a textbook using iBookAuthor for my students. I exported it as an iBook and they uploaded it to their iPads. This year, I revised it, including revising the title page. However, when I upload the new version, the old title page is shown, not the new one. I deleted the older version of the textbook before I did this. I've been told that I can cut and paste each revised chapter into a new template and that will work; however, title page and glossary can't be cut and pasted. Any thoughts for getting the entire new version on the iPad? I'm also told that if it is uploaded to an iPad that never had a previous version of this textbook, it will upload correctly. But my iPad has had several older versions, now deleted.

I had a similar issue when trying to create an iBook file to submit for course credit for one of the Apple Learning Essentials classes I took. I had a book I'd started previously which I updated and submitted, and then had to make some edits to for the course evaluator. I made the edits, and when I previewed the book in iBooks Author, it looked correct, but whatever I sent to him only showed some of the edits - for example a new page I created was there, but some edits I made to image captions and the title page image were not.
What worked for me was to do a "Save as" of the actual Author file to a totally new location (I used the Desktop), and then submit that file - which seemed to work in terms of the changes sticking. I even used the same file name.
I'm not sure if some similar action might help you (maybe change the file name slightly?) or if you've already tried something like this.
Still doesn't change the fact that this is a pretty irritating bug.

Why is the new iMac so hot to the touch????

Was just at Best Buy checking out the new 27" iMac pentium i5's. Why are they so darn hot to the touch? Is this normal? How can that be a good thing?
I need to know because this is the only thing preventing me from purchasing one.
Thanks.

Hi.
If the heat you notice on one machine at Best Buy is the "only" thing preventing you from purchasing, then my best suggestion to you is to let it go.
You know that every computer produces heat. Some dissipate it better than others... some just differently.
Some create more heat than others because the processors demand more energy to perform their intensive tasks properly. The 27" iMac is such a machine. Not only is it required to do all the things any other iMac might do, it's designed to do it faster AND to while driving a big, beautiful 27" display. Any processor that can do that is gonna get hot.
Relax. If you like the machine and what it offers, and if you can afford it, buy it. You know Apple will stand behind it for a year... and if you want the added comfort of 2 extra years of support, you can drop the $ for AppleCare.
Are you happy with the iMac you have? The new one was designed by the same great team of engineers.

Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own. When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on. No more stops.

Why does my iPad 3rd gen keep saying "not charging"?

My iPad (3rd gen) is frequently saying "not charging" when I plug it into my computer or ac adapter. I'm using Apple cords and adapters, too!

There has to be a power going through to charge it surley , it is ither of or on not low power? . Also daughter judy said '' i have tried ac adapter''. Maybe if you have another device e.g xbox with a usb port in try to connect through there

Most computer usb ports do not provide enough power to properly charge the ipad. If the computer goes to sleep while the ipad is plugged in, it can actually drain the battery. Use a wall charger.

Why is it that my ipad 3rd gen does not charge while connected to my laptop

my ipad 3rd gen will not charge while connected to my laptop, just beside the battery meter it states not charging.

Beacause the USB port of most computers don't supply sufficient current to properly charge it. It is best to charge it using the supplied power supply.

Charging iPad One vs iPad 3rd gen via USB...

just got an iPad 3rd gen. As I've read here, apparently, the PC's USB port doesn't supply enough power to make the 3rd gen battery charging icon say "charging". Instead, it reads "not charging". However, it initially DOES say 'charging', before changing to 'not charging' a couple of minutes later.
Question: my iPad 1st gen ALWAYS charges via PC USB port. Why? Both AC chargers are 10 watts I believe, so why would the 1st gen charge while the third gen doesn't? Does the 3rd gen require more charging watts than the 1st gen unit does?

Using the 10W charger, an iPad 1 will charge in about 3-4 hours, however, the iPad 3 requires about double the time. How long does it take to charge your iPad 1 using the PC's USB port?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
