Why is the iPad not rated above 10,000 feet in altitude?

Is it because some pressurized part might explode? Because the air is not dense enough to cool it properly? Both, or something else?

Very unlikely. I can think of no reason for the iPad to have been designed with a pressure vessel inside (however tiny it might be). Even if there were, the force that any air within it could exert could hardly qualify as an "explosion" if such a vessel were to rupture. No one worries about a can of shave cream exploding. It contains orders of magnitude more volume, not to mention propellant, and they're not limited to 10,000 feet pressure altitude.
You could probably put it in a vacuum and it would be fine.
The limitation must be related to heat dissipation. That also explains why it's an "operating" limitation. Not operating: no heat generated, no heat dissipation required, no limitation specified. Therefore a vacuum is OK.

    Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
    The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
    I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

  • Why does the iPad not have an Apple Store app?

    I was wondering, why has Apple not made an Apple Store app for the iPad yet? It's been a while now that the iPad has been out and the iPhone has had it but why not make one for iPad too? It could be designed correctly to be a lot more user friendly on an iPad then the website in my opinion...

    This is a user-to-user forum. Except for the Host who keep order, Apple doesn't really participate directly.

  • Why does the iPad not come with Stocks, Weather and Messages apps like iPhone?

    Just received my new 64gb iPad and curious about why Apple has left some of the key apps off the device like Stocks, Weather and Messages. Can these be added?
    All the iOS 5 demos I've seen were showing the new Notifications functionality with these apps being used as examples yet when I turned this amazing device on, none of these apps were there.
    Someone clue me in to what I might be missing here.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    After I posted my question, I saw many similar questions with the same answers. Thanks for the help. Seems strange to me to not include these great apps and I totally forgot about the Clock & Calculator...
    I wonder if iOS 5 might return add them to the iPad?
    Cheers,

  • We have a first generation iPad.  All of a sudden it will not go to "GROUPS" in Facebook.  It gives the message "Page not found"  We can go to the "GROUPS" page on any other device that we have.  Why will the iPad not go to "GROUPS"

    We have a first generation iPad.  All for a sudden, in will not go to the "GROUPS" page on Facebook.  It gives the message "Page can not be found"  It will bring up the members of the group.  We can pull up "GROUPS" on all the other devices we have, but not the iPad.  What has happened?  We have not changed any settings.  Yesterday afternoon, it worked last night it would not.  It still will not work. What as happened!?!?!?!?!?

    if you mean facebook in safari and not the facebook app
    then the mobile facebook page have allways been odd and defect

  • Why has the iPad not got some features that the iPhone has?

    The title tells a lot.
    Some things I think are missing, as you can get told the weather, but there is no weather icon. Same for stocks, and why can't the iPad have a voice memo or compass app?
    It seems surprising that for something bigger than the iPhone hasn't got equal features, but has less?
    Anyone know?

    They are meant to be two seperate products. The iPad has features that the iPhone does not.

  • Why does the ipad not have the apps wheather and stocks

    The iPad doesn't have stocks and weather

    All we, your fellow users, can tell you is that it's because Apple chose not to include them. There are a multitude of such apps in the iTunes Store, though.

  • 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.

    Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
    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 is my iPad not able to download mail for hours at a time while the iPhone next to it has no problem?

    Why is my iPad not able to download mail when the iPhone next to it can and the iPad may be able to do it 24 hours later with no change in settings?  This happens with multiple email accounts at the same time in several locations on many occasions.  The setting is to check emails every 15 minutes.   It says it is checking but nothing comes up while it does on my Mac or iPhone

    I have exactly the same problem here.
    Can see new email appearing straight away on the iPhone and Windows pc, but very erratic on the iPad.  Sometimes the emails appear immediately on the iPad, other times they don't appear for hours. 
    One thing I have noticed if I go and change the "delete messages - remove" setting to something other than what it was set (for instance from "never" to "one month") it seems to jiggle something and the outstanding emails all suddenly appear.

  • Why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

    why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

    Nobody here can answer a question like that. Try rebooting your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Why will my ipad not sync with calendars on my imac?

    I did find the info tab while trying to sync my calendars, but my iPhone5, iPhone 4S and iPad still won't sync to my MacBook Pro.
    Are you using Mac OS 10.9  Mavericks?
    There is no Info tab and you need to sync contacts & calendars via iCloud.
