Will dry erase marker on iPad display glass damage it? And will the solvent spray to remove the marker (like Expo) cause damage?
I want to be able to make notes on images and in apps when a stylus is not an option to draw/ make notes. I thought dry eraser markers could work as thewould likely easily erase from the glass screen. My only big concern is with the chemicals in the markers and in the spray, whether the. May damage the screen. Any thoughts?
I think the only way I'd do this would be to put a screen protector on your device and write on that.
Apple doesn't recommend anything beyond a damp cloth (with water) to clean the surface of the device. At least with a screen protector the chemicals are on that, not your iPad screen.

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around, please I need to know the cause and how to effect necessary changes that will prolong the battery life as I have gone through the settings which includes turning off the push notifications, reduce brightness and so on but that doesn't seem to help much.
FYI
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

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.

Is the ipad 1 able to run and download the same apps as the ipad 3
Is the ipad 1 able to run and download the same apps as the ipad 3
You have to look at the system requirements for the app. the iPad 1 cannot run a version of iOS higher than 5.1.1. If the app requires a higher veriosn, you cannot run it.
System reqs for any app in the itunes store are at the left edge of the screen.
Fortunately most apps still run on the older iOS version -
On my iPad, I was receiving iMessages and had the history of all message that were on my iPhone showing up but I just did a restore and I'm not receiving them. I can send, though. Any ideas?
is there any important stuff saved to your emails? if so you could log on to your emails from a seperate device and back them up. im not sure what else you could do :/

I'm going on vacation and want to watch movies on a TV by connecting my iPad 2 to the TV. I've got the cable for that. However, I'm afraid of the battery going dead right in the middle of a program. I've noticed that the iPad dock only has one outlet in the back for a cable. Is there a dock or another accessory that would allow me to have my iPad charging while I also have it connected to the TV to watch the movie? Thanks.
If your TV is HDMI (and most are now) the Digital AV adapter does just that. Just remember that you need to have an HDMI cable.

Save and Protect your iPad Device: How to Save and Prolong the battery life of your new ipad
Please, as you read add more answers to this on how to prolong and save your ipad battery life. Thank you
Saving the battery life of your iPad
1.Keep Your iDevice Out of the Sun
Whatever you do, don’t leave your iPhone or iPod sitting in a hot car—heat kills batteries faster than any other factor, and your device that used to keep a charge for hours will eventually barely hold a charge, and you’ll have to pay Apple to get it replaced. The same thing holds true for any really hot environment: try and store your device in a cool place.
Reduce the Screen Brightness
If you keep the screen at maximum brightness all the time, you’re wasting a lot of battery life—and the screens these days are so bright anyway that you don’t really need to, especially at night. Head into Settings -> Brightness & Wallpaper to adjust the default level of brightness, which you can probably keep as low as 30% most of the time.
2. Make Sure the Screen Locks Quickly
Even if you’ve adjusted the screen brightness, there’s still no substitute for having it turn off quickly when you’re not using it. Head into General -> Auto-Lock to set the screen lock to happen as quickly as your device will let you. This makes a big difference if you are always picking up your phone and putting it back into your pocket without turning the display off.
3. Use Airplane Mode When You Don’t Need Internet (iPad/iPhone)
If you’re busy spending the next 8 hours playing Angry Birds, there might not be a good reason to have internet access, so you can consider using Airplane Mode, which turns off both Wi-Fi and the regular wireless radio. Of course, this will prevent phone calls if you’re on an iPhone—but if you’re busy with Angry Birds you probably don’t want the interruption anyway.
4. The more important reason to use Airplane Mode is when you’re mobile in an area with a really spotty connection—because the iPhone or iPad will try to stay connected at all times, it’s going to be constantly searching for a connection, which can drain your battery. Head into Settings and flip the Airplane Mode switch right up at the top of the screen.
Use Wi-Fi Instead of 3G if Possible
According to Apple, the iPad will get 10 hours of battery life under regular use with Wi-Fi enabled, but will only get 9 hours using 3G—the iPhone gets 6 for 3G and 10 for Wi-Fi. Of course, if you’re heavily using the Wi-Fi, you’ll still be draining the battery—the point is under similar workloads, Wi-Fi is better than 3G for battery life.
You can enable Wi-Fi under Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then pick the network you’d like to connect to.
5. Reduce or Eliminate Mail & Calendar Checking
If you’ve got a bunch of email, calendar, or contact accounts configured, and they are all being checked and downloading email on a regular basis, you’ll be draining the battery an awful lot faster than you need to.
Head into Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data and change the setting to the least frequent check possible. If you don’t use it often, you can just turn Push off entirely and then manually check when you need to.
6. Reduce or Eliminate Push Notifications
Do you really need notifications from Twitter or whatever other apps you’re running? You can turn these off one-by-one, or turn off Push entirely by heading into Settings -> Notifications, and save a bit of extra battery life since your device won’t be pulling in data for those applications anymore.
7. Reduce or Eliminate System Sounds
This one is probably a little silly, but if you really don’t care for the system sounds you can save a small amount of battery life by removing the sounds. A very, very small amount, most likely. Head into Settings -> General -> Sounds to change them.
8. Disable Location Services
If you don’t really need the location services, you can disable them to save some battery life. Head into Settings -> General and flip the Location Services setting to off.
9. Disable Bluetooth If You Don’t Need It
If you don’t use a Bluetooth headset or keyboard, you should keep the Bluetooth radio disabled to save some extra battery life. Head into Settings -> General -> Bluetooth to flip it on or off.
10. Disable Vibrate Feature in Games
If you’ve got a game that uses the vibrate feature, you can turn that off to save some battery life. This mostly matters if the game heavily uses it, and you’ll need to change the setting for the game. As a side note, and it should go without saying, if you’re running really intensive video games, they will kill your battery very quickly.
11. Charge and Discharge Your Battery Regularly
Your iDevice needs to be fully discharged and recharged at least once a month to operate at maximum efficiency and keep the battery from dying. You’ll also want to make sure that you don’t store the device with a dead battery, as that can also cause the battery to lose charge capability—when your battery dies, make sure to recharge it quickly.

The reason that Apple suggests you drain and recharge your battery once a month is not because it affects the life ofthe battery. What it actually does is calibrate the battery sensor, giving you a more accurate reading.
Other than that, you done an admirable job of summarizing the Knowledge Base article:

How to recover pictures on iPad Mini?
If the photos that were on your iPad mini were synced from another computer, you erased them by syncing with your Mac. They are gone now and cannot be retrieved unless you sync them back using the other computer. If you do that, then you will erase the iPad again and replace the contents on ot with the contents of the iTunes library on the second computer.
You can only sync with one computer at a time. There are other ways to share photos from other comouter's and devices. Ask whoever synced the photos onto your mini to provide you with a flash drive with the photos on them, copy them to your Mac and then sync them using iTunes on your Mac. -
E52 Date Display does not update and reflect the c...
Right from day 1 the display date of my E52 does not update and reflect correct the correct date. Got the phone replaced once still the same issue. Called the customer service and they say there is no such problem with E52. They asked me to go to the repair center...(isnt that ridiculous to ask a customer of a new phone to do so?). I went to the repair center with a hope that they will replace it for me but all in vain. They also gave me a ridiculous answer that Nokia does not have a replacement policy...and I was like so is it Nokia's policy to sell broken and faulty mobiles? I was utterly dejected. The electronic store where I bought also refuse to replace because they think there is a problem and no matter I get it changed it will recur. I still do not have a solution as all my ways of getting this problem resolved are exhausted. Anyone has a solution or came across this issue which can be solved without repairing?
Ok let me state my problem. There is a date display and at midnight the date should automatically change to the next date. However that does not happen. The dealer makes the following changes Control Panel>Settings>General>Date and time> Automatic time update> On and this does not solve the problem. Then I get the mobile replaced and that too has the same problem. after going through all permutations and combinations the problem persists. To quote the email from the Contact center for Nokia in HK this was what was suggested
Menu→Ctrl. panel→Settings→General→Date and time→Time zone→please select Hong Kong→Automatic time update→please select Off
However, if the situation still occurred by following the above settings, please be advised to bring your Nokia E52 along with the valid sales invoice to one of our Hong Kong Nokia Care Centres for the handset checking since we do not have such arrangement of replacing a new phone to you.
Please help!!! -
My phone has lines from top to bottom the screen has nothing , I tried to reset it many times also tried to reset with computer and nothing. I used to tap on it and sometimes it worked but not no more , I even broke the screen and cracked the back so now what ??? this I-phone 4 is the worst phone i have had . I started with the first I-phone tthen the second and third and they were all good , in fact my kids have them now . Since I got the I-phone 4 nothing but problems.and its only A little over A year since i got it
I am having the same issue. ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy.
THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS. The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently. I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor. BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
THE SOLUTION: Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know. If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones. My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software. -
X201 display rotates after undock and opening the lid
Hi,
I'm supporting some guys here in my company. One of them is using a X201 with Win XP and Presentation Manager.
When he undocks the notebook and opens the lid afterwards the screen is turned upside down after a few seconds without hitting a key or anything. He says that this doesn't happen every time, but almost.
I can bring the correct view back with Strg+Alt+ Arrow Up.
Is there a way to avoid this behavior?
Thanks
Mith
Solved!
Go to Solution.hey Mithrandir,
try removing Presentation Manager and check if there is any new driver for that unit's graphic card. Install if there is and try again.
