  • Will the iPad 3rd generation have siri on it in the future

    I am thinking about getting the ipad 3 but so far it only has siri dictation so does anyone know if it may come in a later update?

    We are just fellow users on here, we won't know anything until if/when Apple announce something.

  • I am about to buy an iPad 3rd gen. Do I get a Smart Cover?

    I was planning on buying a polyurethane Smart Cover at the same time as the iPad, and this would be the only protection I would have for it.
    That being said, I own an iPhone 4S, and have never used a screen protector or case for it.  It goes in my pocket basically whenever I am not using it.  I have some light scratches on the back glass that you can see only in the right light, and nothing on the screen.
    Based on that, would you say that this will be enough protection for me?  Also, for those of you who own an iPad and a Smart Cover, do you recommend the cover?  I have read on this forum from time to time that the Smart Cover can scratch the iPad where it hinges to it, and that sometimes the screen gets scratches from dirt that is being held there by the cover itself.
    I am not really paranoid, but I don't want to be on this forum in 2 or 3 weeks asking what I can do about the scratches on the screen of my iPad.

    The Smart Cover only protects the front screen. You'll get scratches on the back plus it provides no protection for a small drop.
    I added a screen protector as it was cheap insurance protection.
    For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad  is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.

  • Will siri be on iPad 3rd gen in iOS 7?

    It shows that Siri will be available on iPad with retina display and iPad mini but it doesn't show the iPad 3rd gen. In iOS 6 the iPad 3 had Siri but would they take it away in iOS 7? 

    If Siri is in iOS 6 in the 3rd generation iPad, it will still be in iOS 7. 3rd and 4th generation iPads are iPads with Retina displays

  • Can Apple offer cheap upgrade plans to people who bought iPad 3rd Gen within 3 months to upgrade their device to the 4th gen?!

    I decided to get iPad 3rd gen because my iPad 2 wasn't working so well after using it for 1+ year and I really need iPads for work. I got it not more than 2 months ago. I felt being cheated. Although Apple didn't promise the one year thing, but 7 months is just too ridiculous. .
    I know it is impossible to ask Apple to replace our 3rd gen with 4th gen, but if they offer some upgrade plans, I would be more comfortable with this. If so, I hope that they wouldn't charge more than USD $150 to upgrade.
    Trading in old devices is important to me because I have no income as a student but I just have to get newer devices to make sure they have a higher performance. Dissolving the iPad 3rd gen is not a good idea since the resell value will decrease instantly.
    Other than that, my iPad is a bit laggy comparing to what I felt when it was on iOS 5, they shouldn't make a new device to solve this problem, they should improve their software
    In the incident, Apple is just being irresponsible to long term supporters like me, I hope that they will provide us satisfying solutions.
    (My English might not be perfect because my native language is Chinese, hope you guys know what I mean)

    You can check macrumors, there were rumors and they were pretty much squashed the begininng of October, so waiting a month, sure. Usually mac is transpereant enough that its knwn 3-4 months ahead of time that a refresh is coming, I site the release of th Ipad 2 gen i was getting for my daughter, we waited until her bday and got it in March at launch. Not this time. This was a curve ball, ezpecially 4 months ago when I bought mine. I have called Apple everyday, wil call again today to vent frustration, and I am noticing some slowed response on my ipad 3 and would assume why the fast refresh, i have been asking for a path to upgrade for $100 with a well tken care of ipad 3, under apple care etc. Don't know if I will get it, but wont get it for sure if I dont ask. I already was issued a $100 credit on another purchase, which I may be using soon.

  • Does the iPad 3 gen, have a voice recorder?

    Does the iPad 3rd gen with retina display, have a voice recorder?

    Not as a built in app - no it does not. If you need a voice recorder, you will have to download an app from the App Store. An app like Quick Voice Recorder.

  • IPad 3rd gen 32GB or 4th gen 16GB?

    I'm in a dilemma.
    My budget gives me a choice between the iPad 3rd gen 32GB or the  4th gen 16GB model. Both are Wi-Fi only, which is fine for me.
    What would people recommend? Should I go for the faster CPU or the bigger storage?
    Until it was recently stolen I had a 16GB iPad 2, and while I wouldn't say I had loads of space, I got by with it just fine. But I'm guessing these newer models will need more storage.
    Any thoughts/suggestions/opinions welcome.

    iPad 2 vs iPad 3 vs iPad 4: Which Is the Best Buy?

    Where are you going to buy an iPad 3? Apple doesn't sell them anymore. Buy a refurbished 32GB iPad 4 at Apple's on-line store. A refurb is cheaper than the new one, but has a new screen, back and battery and the same 1 year warranty.

  • Music missing artwork after syncing with iPad 3rd Gen

    All the music on my MBP has artwork with them. Whenever I copy music from my MBP to my iPad 3, only 10% of the artwork shows up on my iPad. Anyone ideas why this is happening or how to correct it? Kinda ugly looking at music and only a handful of songs have artwork for them. I spent A LOT of time getting all the artwork for them so it's kinda annoying this is happening. I've done the "Get Album Artwork" bit already on my iPad however that doesn't work at all. Any ideas.

    AHA! Solution!
    At the bottom of the Music screen in the ipad (3rd gen) there are a set of buttons named store, playlists, songs, artists, albums, and more. Press the more button, then select shared, then select your computer in shared (I am sure home sharing must be on). All of the album art showed up immediately.
    Oops, No solution... only the homesharing screen, albums in ipad not affected.

  • Ipad (3rd gen) stock levels

    Hi there
    I'm from South Africa (for those who don't know, the ipad 3rd gen hasn't released here yet)
    A friend of mine is going to travel in the US (mostly Seattle)
    What I would like to know is, if I order and 2 iPads for next day pick up at the apple store there, would there be enough stock in the shop for it to be available the next day or would they have to be shipped there over a couple of days?
    Also, is it possible to order it a couple of days in advance (just to make sure the payment goes through)
    and now a bit of a rant. Nowhere is it possible to see stock levels of any apple products at their stores. Or a way to email a rep at the store to find out. I think that this feature should be added.
    Thank you for the help.

    We're users her, not Apple employees. So we have no way to know about stock levels.
    Your friend can contact the Seattle Apple Store.

  • IPad 3rd gen wifi & external bluetooth gps receivers

    Has anyone had success connecting the iPAD 3rd gen wifi to external bluetooth gps receivers, other than the XGPS150 or Bad Elf?

    I had the same issue.  I came up with a work around until they get it fixed.  
    I also attempted to sync selected folders from my computer to my Ipad 3.  Only 3 of the 8 picture folders would sync to my new Ipad 3. . I had same issue as noted above. The sync would start and then stop. The selected folder which was syncing would disappear from the Ipad 3. .
    My work around:  I created a new folder in my Pictures file, copied and pasted the photos in new folder.
    I entered the Pictures folder on my computer, I made a new folder and named new folder IPAD3 ABCD
    ( ABCD was specific name of contents in folder), I then copied photos from original file that would not sync and pasted them in the new folder named IPADABCD.  I did this one at a time.  I went back and re-synced one new folder at a time.  I only had to redo the above list one time for one folder that did not sync after doing this.  But all my photo folders are now on Ipad3. 
    Hope this helps.

  • HT204387 I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions

    I have an iPhone 3GS and I can't get it to pair with my iPad 3rd Gen neither will discover the other any suggestions

    An iPad and iPhone cannot connect via Bluetooth unless you are trying to use a Personal Hotspot feature on your iPhone or have one of the few third-party apps that allow limited file transfer or device-to-device gaming. Unless you're attempting one of these, then any previous "pairing" was probably illusory. If you are trying to use such a thing, tell us which one and someone may be able to provide suggestions.

  • A FaceTime call on iPad 3rd gen reboot the device

    Not happens in every call but perhaps in a 4/10 calls proportion.
    I've Ipad 3rd gen, with latest iOS in it. I often receive and made calls from my family (almost 1 call a day) and I can test the behaviour in a great detail.
    The crash makes the iPad reboot. Not any other flaw. This only happen in FaceTime and not in all calls. But it leads to confusion and honestly: We don't pay a  600 bucks device that can't handle a videoconference call.
    This must be solved...fast. Or people (like me) will move to other solutions (skype, g+ hangouts...etc)

    Thanks for the info, however the correct url is:

  • HT204291 I updated my apple tv to the latest firmware. I seem to have lost the ability to mirror my ipad 3rd gen. Can anybody help

    I bought an apple tv for its ability to mirror any of the content on my new ipad 3rd gen. Now after updating my apple tv i seem to have lost the ability to mirror my tablet onto the screen. Can somebody help with this. I have tried to do everything. I made sure both my apple tv and my ipad are connected to the same network. I also made shure my bluetooth was off. I can still airplay with my brothers iphone 4s. ( ios5.1) but i cannot do the same with my tablet.

    To U2SockMonkey,
    You must be a newbie, because otherwise you would have fixed it. I don't have that mirroring problem and it must be because you are not looking around and inform yourself thoroughly. It took me also 2 days of grief before I found out how to do it. Not even to mention that the Apple Engineer that I called did not have a solution either and just suggested that I should send my Apple TV back or go to a Apple Store nearby.
    I was pretty annoyed about that such a little black box was giving me grief. I have been working in the IT industry for over 30 years and I know quite a bit inside out about many hardware's. But my opinion is that sending out Version 6.0 Aka 5.1 as you rightfully say is not on with me.
    This is the same behaviour that Apple now does as Microsoft forever is doing. Not finishing the products and putting it on the market or release it before it is finished and has bugs in it.
    Personally this irks me and annoys me. Because I am in that field for many years and have seen what grief it causes. I have noticed that an Administrator has removed another post that I made about other matters concerning iPads and especially with iPad 3 and 4 now and that there are also other people who make inflamatory remarks to people ( Julian Wright for e.g.)  about how they have to spend their money for the latest stuff of Apple and come over very aggressive, selfish, if not evil.
    For your information, I used to work for Apple, I know Apple inside and how they work and what they used to do ? They were really nice for their employees and customers. But I think that has changed now for whatever reason they have. Very disappointing. It's up to Apple not to listen, I have no control of that, but it will cost them at some point.
    Besides that point, I feel that some people are been taken for a ride and when I am expressing that this is not OK I should be rewarded for that instead of being rejected.
