Why isn't "Find My iPad" automatically enabled on the device when purchased? Why is it a feature that is OFF and has to be turned ON instead of the other way around? I didn't know it needed to be enabled and now it's stolen and I can't locate it
Why isn't the "Find My iPad", "Find My Mac", etc. feature not automatically enabled in the iCloud Settings on every device? My iPad was stolen a couple days ago and it's been showing Offline under "Find My iPhone" feature so I started doing some research. Come to find out "Find My iPad" has to be enabled under the PRIVACY button in SETTINGS. I never knew that!!! That feature is highly needed for Apple products so can some explain why it's not already enabled on every device and actually has to be turned ON from the OFF position and not the other way around? Now some lucky person has stolen my iPad and I can't locate it because Apple wanted to give me the choice to enable it once it was already ******* stolen!
Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.

I have just gotten my new ipad!!! I downloaded latest version of itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync music. Any suggestions??
Does a little box come up seeing the iPad as a camera? That doesn't impact iTunes as much as it confirms that your computer sees the device. If your computer doesn't see it then iTunes doesn't know it's there.
If you're plugged into a hub or extender, try plugging it directly into the box or main part of your computer.
If you're using an extension, stop and just use the included sync cable.
Try using a different USB port.
After you installed iTunes, did you restart your computer?
Usually what's needed is the 'apple device driver' which installs automatically, you just need to sometimes trigger the install, using different ports helps with that.
If the simple trouble shooting doesn't help then you can search on the Apple Device Driver and there's more detailed trouble shooting on the site. -
My old computer died on me with no warning signs. I didn't know or need to copy my music to another computer. I would like to know how to get the music that I bought onto my new computer without having to buy it all again. I just want to be able to get all of my music that I bought on itunes onto my computer. Right now the money ive spent is just gone and I have no music to show for it.
Go to the iTunes Store and select "Purchased" from the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go through all the tabs to download again for free

How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable. I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the IPad to the IPhone and not the other way around.
The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind. Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

I have programmed iCal and Address book to sync via MobileMe. The info I type in iCal on the MacBook Pro get updated on the iPad, but not the other way around. Any hints?
Levi G B ... Also found another thread by Davidfromsurfside on 10/14/11 0703A with the same problem. I responded on his thread "I have the same problem. IOS5 on iPad1, iPad2 and iPhone4S all with iCloud on. Lion 10.7.2 installed on my MacBookPro and iCloud set up/on. Any new iCal entry on either iPad or on the iPhone ends up via iCloud on both iPads and iPhone. BUT NOT ON THE MacBookPro. And iCal entry on the MacBookPro does NOT GET SENT to iCloud.com or to either iPad or the iPhone. This is a huge problem for me because I do all my office scheduling on the iPad or iPhone but rely on the MakeBookPro to print out daily client lists. I REALLY need to get this fixed...it is causing major business issues. " No one so far has had a fix.... :(

I put my iPhone threw the replacement option today and I'm just so confused because I'm not sure if the new iPhone will be shipped to me first and I'll ship my cracked and non-replaceable iPhone back to them or if it is the other way around, I do note that it is a cracked screen (shattered) and it still has the Apple's Limited Warranty still on it. But I know I dont have Apple Care+ so I did pay the $229 plus tax for the iPhone to be replaced. Just not too sure if the iphone will be shipped to me first or vise versa. PLEASE HELP ME!!
Its currently stuck on this, is this an idication that I have to ship mine first?You will need to send the phone. You can call apple care to set this up. They can send to you first but it does require a hold onn your card for the full ammount of the new phone untill they get the old one back. Again apple care can help with this.

Can I open iPad keynote and iPad pages on a PC Microsoft word and a PC Microsoft PowerPoint? also the other way around?
Yes. You can export iPad Pages and Keynote files as Word and PowerPoint files and you can upload/transfer/email Word and PowerPoint files to the iPad and work on them in Pages and Keynote.
Be advised that there will be some degree of formatting issues and also that the iOS versions of Pges and Keynote do not the full functionality of Word and PowerPoint on a computer. -
hi i just wanna ask about the volume down button in the ipad 2 ,it was mute the device when hold it at once but before 2days i noticed that the device did not mute when i hold it ,why? and how i fix this by the way it is still volume down
Have you tried restarting or rebooting the iPad and then see if the volume control will work again?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 - let go of the buttons. -
When I sync my iPhone with iTunes on my MacBook, it updates contacts just fine that I've created on the iPhone but it doesn't always update iCal. Under Advanced options for syncing in iTunes, it only says to update from the computer to the iPhone. I need it the other way around. How do I do that?

Can I use the "Find My iPad" app in my MacBook Pro when the iPad has a different Apple ID?
Can I use the "Find My iPad" app in my MacBook Pro when the iPan has a different Apple ID & password than the MacBook Pro?
On your Macbook you access Find My iPad via a Web Browser at http://icloud.com
This will require you to sign on using the Apple ID and password used for the iPad iCloud. -
Event in ical on my iphone 4 does not synch with ical on my imac. the other way around works perfect
the other way around works perfect. does anyone has a clue?
I just realized I am having the same problem. All iCal events are on my iMac, but I can only view the last 12 months or so on my iPhone 4s. Searching within iCal or the main Search window on the iPhone give the same results, zero.
So when I am at the doctors and they want to know when my child last saw Dr. SoAndSo, the search on the phone shows zero, when I know this is an annual appointment.
Very frustrating. I hope there is a setting that I've just missed since I got the phone last Fall. -
I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks
It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine. -

Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.
