Why stop seling iPad retina display so soon, and continuing seling iPad 2
Why stop seling iPad retina display so soon, and continuing seling iPad 2
Hi,
If you're asking because you were hoping to buy one, they might still be in Apple stores and will definitely be available in big box stores.
Retina ipad - Prices same as have been at big box store I checked.
Apple Online Refurb store
16 gb was $419.00. Today $ 379.00.
32 gb was $499.00. Today $ 429.00.
64 gb was $579.00. Today $ 529.00.
Minis Until today
new 16 gb mini was/is $329.00. Today $299.00 A refurbed 16 gb was $279.00. Today $249.00
new 32 gb mini was/is $429.00. Today not on site. A refurbed 32 gb was $359.00. Today $339.00.
new 64 gb mini was/is $529.00. Today not on site. A refurbed 64 gb was $439.00. Today $419.00.
We have ipad 2's from Apple's refurb store and one as a gift. They have been great.
Best Buy 32 gb $429.00 and a 64 gb is $529.00. Same price as usual. Check other big box retailers, too, if you're in the market to buy one.
If you're simply curious, many would guess it all comes down to $$$$$$$$$. It's about the bottom line and in this tech world, many want the best and the newest. and they're willing to pay for it, even if some cannot afford it. And they make a heck of a profit doing as they do.
Hope this helps.

Is it possible that I bought Ipad retina display the end of november and no operator in the shop told me that Ipad air was going to exit? one month and a better product is sell now at the same price...how is it possile!? ! I feel really disappointed...what can I do?
...please help!Kiarazza
No you are not wrong to be upset. Should Apple have given you the heads up, yes. Like you experience with Dell I had a similar experience with a phone a few years back, the store exchanged the one I purchased a short time later with the newly released device. The store employees are there to sell and we do live in a buyer be ware world for the most part. Truthfully the store employees might not have even known when the new model would be released. In general electronics are evolving extremely rapidly. Any "new" phone, tablet, computer type device today will be an "old model" tomorrow. While you feel you may have been mislead this is just a fact at this time. With that said...
While I have had iPods for years my first experience, and last, with an Apple store subsequent Apple's customer service was about 11-12 months ago when I got an iPad & iPhone. I have found them both to be substandard.
But look at what you have and take it for what is, a pretty sophisticated devise. the iPad you purchased is still a fine machine. By no means is it out dated. Use it enjoy it and don't look back. You'll drive yourself mad otherwise because there will always be a newer model tomorrow.
These forums a full of some very helpful people for the most part.
Best of luck. -
I Have an iPad retina display. It worked great with 7 but I updated to 8.0.2 and now I have usage problems. It shows my usage of being 12.2 and I have 0 bytes available. It seems that this problem occurred after I installed 8. I regret doing that. Is there anything I can do? I have cleared out most of my pictures and apps. I am down to bare bones.
A restart or reset might help. Either turn it off and restart it as stated above. Or give it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot.
Then go into settings,general, usage and see what's taking up the room. -
on my iPad (Retina Display) in Google why would a site come up that I have not any knowledge of? Not one that I have EVER looked for?
As far as I could see - only once. All morning I have had trouble with connecting to my WiFi. I blame AppleSupport who were trying to help me with a totally different problem and they asked me to "Reset" my iPad - and I lost my Wifi connection and had a huge amount of trouble getting back on. Now every time I boot up the iPad and try to get on-line it asks for my Password for WiF! Not happy.

I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr........... -
Face time fades out and then retries to connect (new Ipad Retina Display) on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from same location and same contact. What gives?
rdallas001 wrote:
Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc. -

Your only option is to sell the iPad and then buy the new one.

By mistake I deleted all my photos from my Ipad Retina Display, I don't have backup. Please, how can I recover them?
If your photos are in iPhoto or on your computer, then they are not lost. If you delete them from the iPad you have a major problem. You can check this out: iPad Data Recovery - Undelete & Rescue Lost Files from iPad.

I have an A5X chip iPad with retina display with AppleCare+ . If my iPad broke would apple replace it with the updated iPad with retina display that has the A6X chip?
They will replace your "broken" iPad with an iPad of equal type .... so NO, they will not replace it with a new iPad 4th generation. They will actually replace your "broken" iPad with a refurb, not a new one.

would you get a better picture on apple tv is you used airplay on an ipad mini with retina display as opposed to a standard ipad mini?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
It won't make any difference. -
Sorry if this is a bit naive. I have just bought my first iPad (Retina Display). I have WiFi at home but it has taken me ages to get on-line as I needed all sorts of codes, passwords, numbers etc.
How does one connect to the web (Google) when one is out and about?
Thankshaha, You're welcome

Recipe for iPAD retina display
Hi,
Does anyone have a 'recipe' for processing photos for the ipad retina display.
I'm a bit confused as to trying to print to jpeg (with what settings?) or export.
I've tried a bit, but not been really happy with the results.
What do you do?
hansYou could also have a read of Jeffrey Friedl's Lightroom-to-iPad workflow: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/ipad-howto2
This is effectively a Publish Service which can publish via FTP directly to a client app on the iPhone, thus bypassing iTunes and the iPad Photos app completely. I converted to this a few months back. Well worth a read.
PS I use exactly the same settings as Rikk, although I first crop all the images (VCs) to 4x3 if possible to ensure they are viewed full screen on the iPad. -
I noticed the bright spots on the ipad retina display in a black image. Used only 2 weeks.is it normal?
No its not normal. I'm not sure how big these bright spots are, but it could be a hardware problem. Without more details, I would suggest that you take it to an Apple Store or take it back to wherever you bought it and let the, evaluate the iPad.

Can mac os x 10.5.8 work with ipad retina display?
I have a mac pro with mac os x 10.5.8 .. I want to purchase a ipad retina display. Will it work with this ?
No. You need 10.6.8 or later.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
