Will there be a trade-in offered for the New iPad and the iPad with Retina Display?

I don't really understand what's going on. I bought The New iPad in early August and was told that it was the one with Retina Display and it was the top of the line. I cannot find a "New ipad" on Apple's website. In fact, the only iPad with Retina Display is one with the lightning connector. I'm utterly confused and feel very jipped. Can anyone maybe explain to me? Where has the "iPad 3" gone on the website? And will I be able to do a trade for the newest considering I just bought it?
Thanks
Kelsey

The iPad 4, which is now also called the iPad with retina display, essentially replaces the iPad 3, which is no longer available except as a refurbished product. The naming is confusing, as both the iPad 3 and iPad 4 had a retina display. The iPad 4 has the same price points but with a fater processor, better Facetime camera, lightning connector, and faster wi-fi. As soon as it came out yesterday, the iPad 3 was removed from the Apple store. It has essentially been discontinued.
People who bought the iPad 3 within the last 14 days can return it no questions asked. There are stories about some stores allowing an exchange for the iPad 4 if you bought the iPad 3 within the last 30 days, but there's nothing official from Apple on that, and it seems to vary from store to store. I called my local Apple store, and they said no, but I'm waiting for a call back from a manager to confirm this.
I think you may be out of luck trying to return or exchange it at the Apple Store, but you can look a selling it and putting the money toward a new model. Here's a link to an article with some info that may help:

Good luck. It's definitely a lousy thing for Apple to do to iPad 3 users.

  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water and everything works but the backlight. I have heard rumors that I can take my damaged iPhone into an apple store and trade it in for a new phone and pay the difference. Is this true?

    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full retail sales price.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You cannot download a backup from iCloud, the only way to access it is to restore to the backup with your new phone, which you should have done when you first connected it. If you restore now, you will lose all the new information you have added to your new phone.

  • I am thinking of getting my first Macbook pro for uni and was just wondering which one would be the best? The macbook pro or macbook pro with retina display? or even wait for the new release in 2013 ?

    If your budget is unlimited, look at both the retina and non-retina and make a decision based on your preferences.  If funds are tight, explore the options in the refurbished section.  Unless you are dealing with courses that demand specific performance parameters, any one of these options will suffice.

  • I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

    I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
    shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

    I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
    Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
    If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
    Does "shut down" mean it crashes?  Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
    Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

  • Reason for blurring of text in MacBook Pro with retina display?

    I was in an Apple store recently and examined a 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    I noticed that when I expanded the size of the text (using the touchpad) on the Apple web page on the screen that there was a brief blur in the appearance of the text before the text looked sharp again at the larger size.
    I asked an Apple person at the store why this occurred. He claimed that the brief blurring of the text that I saw when I expanded its size was due to my eyes adjusting to the rapid change in text size.
    The answer appeared ridiculous to me. I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro about 5 years old as well as an iPad 2 and iPad mini. On none of these machines have I seen the temporary blurring of the text appearance when increasing its size.
    Is there an inherent problem with retina displays that causes this problem?
    Thanks for your help

    Nah, it was due to the image zoom being processed off the server for the Apple website and the likely clogged connection wifi speeds off the local router in that specific Apple store.
    most websites are not designed for retina level viewing either
    Ive done zoom in on a Retina here at the house with 30MB down speeds and never had a blurring unless it was coming off a jammed up server from a specific website that was slow.

  • I simply don't like it and would like to go back to normal. There is no compatible ad-on for my new printer and I lost most of my bookmarks. Can I rewind back to where everything was before the upgrade. I can't even find my bank account.

    I hate the tabs on top. Where did all my toolbar bookmarks go? And where are the rest of my bookmarks. I had at least 50 sites I love bookmarked and only about 5 are there now. Oh... but I do have some bookmarks that you put there. I don't want your bookmarks.... I WANT MY BOOKMARKS. See the thing about bookmarks is they mark your place for things you are personally interested in.... Therefore, I see no reason for you to give me stuff already bookmarked. But take away all my own. I never would have updated if I had known it would be so different. We've updated many times and never did I lose everything. I want you to email me and tell me a simple way to go back and retrieve my marks. My pc will let me reset everything to Oct. 2010, but I still lose about 6 months work finding good sites for my hobbies, business and coupons.

  • Firefox sync, I had to register for the second time using the same email id. After second registration, the new one and the old one do not sync. ????

    I am using firefox sync for more than a year. Last week, when I tried to set up sync on my work computer, it tells me that the email id is unknown and to register. Anyway I registered. But it is starting from scratch. None of my old stuff synced to this PC.
    In my home computer I am using the same email id, and it has all the data. It is still syncing the data to the server. At least I think it does. Because I have not seen any Sync errors in my home computer.
    I want to know, how can I login with the same email id in two different computers, but have different data in each.

    Homeuser66,
    If you are running Firefox 29, with the new version of Sync, see this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
    Do that before trying to add a new device.

  • Is the 15inch entry level MacBook pro with retina display available for purchase instore?

    I know that if the buy option says I stock you can pick it up from the store. But has anyone bought the new. MacBook pro retina display instores??
    I going to buy one very soon, and I'm confused why the apple website says shipping is 3-4 weeks. Is that only for customizations??

    MacMall (online) has the base model in stock, I believe. And various users around here have found the in Apple Stores, at Best Buy, etc. Amazon also had some in stock the last time I looked.

  • HT4623 I have pressed the bottom to download the new version, and my ipad is bloqued until i download it. I have not saved my photos, is it possible to go back? Will I lose all my photos??

    I pressed the bottom to download the new software in my iPad, but now it´s bloqued until I do it from iTunes. I have not saved my photos before, so is it possible to go back or a way to save my photos?
    Thank you.

    I understood your question to mean that you are seeing the iTunes logo and the USB cable on the iPad screen which means that something went wrong and you have to restore the iPad.
    If the software has not been installed yet, you can try to stop it and them backup the iPad, them go back and install the software.
    If you are going from iOS 4 up to a higher version, iTunes should have backed up the iPad as part of the process.

  • Looking at Refurb MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display... Which is best for video editing?

    Hi all,
    I'm looking at replacing my current 2010 MacBook Pro with something newer. I do quite a bit of video editing with Final Cut Pro X and some webdesign in Dreamweaver CS6 or Wordpress on Chrome. I need something that will be able to render the Final Cut videos. I'm looking at the refurb 2012 MacBook Pro 13" with retina display, an i5 and 8GB of ram, OR a 2013 13" with 4GB of ram and the Intel Iris Graphics... Which is better? I've heard really great things about the Intel Iris Graphics, but is having the 8GB of RAM more important?
    Thanks for your help!

    I would think if you are going to run both of those programs at the same time, or even one at a time, a system with discrete graphic would be a better fit for you.
    The next question is if you are doing web design do you really need a retina display. At this time only apple has them so everyother computer viewing your web designs wouldn't see the difference, if there is any to begin with.
