Writing Reviews on iPad

I just spent twenty minutes writing an app review on my iPad.
When I started, the App Store asked for my ID and password before it allowed me to start writing - fair enough, it needs to verify who I am for several reasons.
When I finished my review and tapped 'Send', it asked for my password again. So I go to my password manager to copy my password, and when I return to the AppStore app and paste my password, it refreshes the screen and my twenty minutes of writing gets flushed like so much garbage.
Apple acts like they're serious about security (why else ask for my password before allowing me to write and again before allowing me to post?) =and= Apple acts like they want power users to write detailed and thoughtful reviews for them - but they make it impossible to have strong passwords (long and difficult to memorize and changed often - that need to be kept in a password vault), and still write reviews using their products.
I can only repeat, ***?
Get a clue. people. Hire some software testers and test in the =real= world.
A.M.
(Who is not likely to waste his time writing reviews for the app store again)

Or hire monkeys to write reviews - you'll get about the same result.

Writing on an iPad

Is there an accessory that makes writing on the iPad more like pen and paper and less like LARGE crayon?

What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

What is the best way to remove crayon writing from my Ipad?

All Apple recommends is a damp cloth.
Depending on how much and thick it is, I'd use a dry papertowel or your fingernail to scrape the bulk of it off (I suggest fingernail so that you use something that can't really scratch the iPad)
Once you get most of it, then use a damp, not wet, cloth, maybe one that you moistened with warm water to help cut through the waxy nature of the crayon.
What you don't want to do is use chemicals or anything like a scrubby pad because you don't want to scratch the surface in your efforts to clean it.

How to change nickname when writing reviews in App Store?

Hi guys, I had an iTunes account that I don't use anymore but I want to use the nickname I had when writing the reviews in my new account, it won't let me chose it because it's already taken by my older account... Is there a way to change it?
Thanks in advance

If you didn't already sort it--
in iTunes, go to Store | View My Account. Make sure to enter the email for your old account.
The main Apple Account Information screen has an Edit Nickname button next to your nickname. You should be able to change that nickname in the old account.
Then log out of the Store, log back in with the email for your new account, and see if it will let you use the old nickname.
It might be necessary to delay while the computers figure out the old name is free, if it doesn't work immediately.

Best fine tip writing stylus for iPad Air?

I have some apps on my new iPad Air where I can use a stylus to jot notes, etc. However, all I have is the fat round rubber-type stylus. One is from Bamboo, the others were gifts. They are awkward to use for notes, to do lists, etc. Is there a fine tip stylus that can be used that will not harm my iPad screen? Any recommendations/suggestions are most appreciated.

Hey! I have been writing (a lot) on my ipad for quite a while now ( a year) so i believe i can give u some tips about styli.
I have checked out all kinds of styli. The worst styli you can find out there are the rubber end ones. Even if they have a fine point they're still incapable. When ur screen or the rubber point is going to be slightly humid then its rubbish. U will need something more solid.
I have bought both Adonit Pro and Adonit Script t different times and tried them out.
I had first started using Adonit Pro. Its incredible really. The only con about it is that if ure not careful with it u can lose the disc, and also u must replace the disc every 3 months or so, depending on the rate ur using it.
I use it every single day and a lot. I do not write on paper, just on my ipad. I study medicine so u could understand i write a lot. It also has a magnet inside, which lets it attach on your ipad smartcase. It really comes in handy trust me.
Then the Script was produced and many styli users went a bit mad about if it was worth it or not etc. I liked the fact that it had no disc. BUT at the end of the day i was dissapointed. I gave it a one month chance. Many cons and few pros.
Cons:
BATTERY required therefore heavier and u need to buy a battery average every month (not that of a big deal though)
CLICKING NOISE. if ur in a coffee shop or something like that its perfectly fine. But if ure in the library then its a pain in the *** believe me. Everyones going to be ****** at u
IPAD ORIENTATION ISSUES. If ure writing on a vertically orientated ipad then the styli works great. If its horizontally then the stylus tends to write about 1-2mm inferiorly to your tip. I tried to get used it but just couldnt. After going back to my Adonit Pro i realised i was suffocating with the Adonit Script.
TOO EXPENSIVE.
Conclusion: I vehemently reccomend Adonit Pro.
ps1. i have nothing to do with Adonit. Just trying to help!
ps2. ill send u some pictures of my work so u get the idea of how writing with the Adonit Pro is. My writing is exactly the same when i write on paper

Writing reviews in App store

Hi,
I'm trying to write a review on an App i've downloaded, however the sign in box appears and each time i type in my password it just pops up again! Does anyone have any ideas why it won't let me do this?
Cheers

I started a thread on this very same topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2045581&tstart=0
Contact iTunes Support. Create a trouble report.

Cannot submit reviews on iPad (retina)

Two different fails occur. Both are similar. Upon clicking "write a review" I am prompted to enter my account info. Sometimes this will get me to the text box for the review, sometimes it will not.
If i am able to get to the text box, upon completing the review and clicking submit I am prompted to enter my account info again. "You must be signed in to submit a review." This will happen endlessly...
I am not entering my account info incorrectly.

Do you have a question or a particlular issue that you need help with?
Or are just looking for a place to complain? This not the place for that.

Error when writing reviews: "in order to write a customer review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it first"

I constantly get the error "in order to write a customer review for this item you must have purchased or downloaded it first" when I'm trying to write reviews on my iPhone. Sometimes I can access iTunes via my PC and write the review on there from the App Store page, but sometimes even that doesn't work. Even though, at the top of the app's page, it says "downloaded" under the graphic. I am properly logged into iTunes, using the same email address and password I used to purchase the app. I don't understand why this is happening, it doesn't make sense. It started after I updated to iOS5, but I can't find any mention of other people having this problem. Anyone know anything?

You CAN'T review applications "purchased" using a promo code. Not saying you used a promo code, but if you did, you won't be able to leave a review. If you didn't use a promo code, delete the app in question from your iTunes library, then re-download it. See if you can leave a review now.

Reviews keep disappearing from iTunes! Anyone else with this problem?

In the good old days, one could always bring back up a review for further editing.
Now, often, the reviews disappear--one can labor over a multi-paragraph review, click submit--and then it's vanished-- even before being reviewed by Apple or being posted or being there to edit.
This has happened especially on the iPad Air-- in fact, this morning, I tapped the wrong place--outside of the dialog box--and the review vanished. Another time, the keyboard was blocking a pop up and when I tried to move the keyboard, iTunes vanquished the review!
I'm now taking to typing out the reviews in other apps; ones that I know are reliable. I then copy and paste. It's not a bad system; indeed, it's a good one as you then have a local copy of whatever you submit. But, I keep getting caught from time to time-- have Siri help me write a review directly in the App Store app and then losing all my hard work!
So, I'm wondering if others have seen this or not--or, if there are some tricks I'm missing about writing reviews on the App Store!

Fair point as well...however...with AppleTV coming down the pike some of us are trying to move iTunes library over to a network drive to stream through AppleTV to TV or Stereo. In my case, having iTunes on the network drive means I do not need to be connected to the network in order for someone to stream to AppleTV or their Mac since up to five users can share a library. In addition, the 3.5GB and growing iTunes library frees up much needed space on my MBP. If I can get this set up working I can rip all the CDs we have all over the house and stored on the networked drive.
To answer the earlier questions. I have an OWC 500GB connected by USB to the AEBS (n). It has never disconnected. I have also found that all 500GB drives are not equal. As an example, I purchased a MyBook500GB. It connected easily but I would receive an error when trying to transfer files over roughly 3.5GB. Some of my archived FCP files are much larger. I never received a response from Western Digital as what was happening, took the MyBook back to the Apple Retail store and purchased a OWC 500GB drive from OWC which was shipped that day. I have had no problems with this drive staying connected to the AEBS(n) or transfering very large GB files. I have noticed this drive does not spin down like my OWC250GB does.
The only problem I have is playing the ripped iTunes CD music. I have described this in another question on the board. Also talked with Apple's customer support which referred me to a person in the AEBS area. Looks like I am the only one experiencing this issue at present.
My suggestion is to try switching out your AirDisk connected to the AEBS(n) if you have another one of a different make/model at your location...or contact the Drive manufacturer and see if they have anyone else having issues with the drive and AEBS(n).

PC Laptop, MacBook, or what I really want.... The iPad 2

I am a community college student in Eastern North Carolina. This past summer my laptop of several years finally ground it's last gear and since then I have been without a laptop. I do not receive financial aid, or help of any kind, paying for my classes and textbooks so I was going to go to my local Wal-Mart and just buy the cheapest laptop they had so I could complete my assignments. I said as much in one of my classes and my professor who happens to have all Apple Products had a lot to say. Yet I am still unsure of a few things and need some clarifications before I make a purchase (I have read everything I can find, but I am worried I've misread or misinterpreted something):
What I need to be able to do:Write / Create:
Research Papers
Excel Documents
Power Point Presentations
Create, Open, Edit, Save and Send the above type of files so they can be opened, edited, saved and sent on Windows 7 Microsoft Office 2010
Surf the Internet (I am aware that Safari fulfills this need)
Back-up my files, pictures, music, videos, etc. on an external harddrive should (God forbid) something happen to whatever product I purchase. (I feel much safer with a hard copy)
Stream online video(s) and audio to complete assignments for classes.
Carry my product with me all day, every day. (I leave home at 6am and rarely get home before 9pm)
What I want to be able to do:
Keep track of assignments, appointments, and work schedule
Have my music, videos, and pictures with me while I am on-the-go
Watch an occasional movie from iTunes or Netflix without using all of my available memory
Consolidate! (My bookbag is extremely heavy from lugging around textbooks, notebooks, and various items and supplies for both work and school)
PURCHASE eTextbooks (CourseSmart offers only rentals, and as a Psychiatric Social Work major I want to keep some of my psychology and social work textbooks as references later on down the road. Purchased eTextbooks can't be ruined, lost, or stolen like printed textbooks and so seem the smarter choice)
Questions:
What is the big difference from an Apple Laptop and Apple's iPad 2?What can the laptops do that iPad 2 cannot? I know there are no USB hubs or any ways to install a program from a CD, but with iCloud and the AppStore won't I have everything I will need?
If I decide to buy the iPad 2:
Do I buy the iPad 2 from the Apple Store, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy?Honestly, what is the difference? The Apple Store for Education offers free next day shipping as a "discount" but this is going to be my Christmas present for myself and it is going to have to sit in it's box until December 25 anyways. Or I can always drive 25 minutes to Best Buy and not have to worry about any kind of shipping at all. Everyone's prices are all the same so I see no difference. Am I missing something here??
Which memory size do I buy?
I had a lot of music on iTunes, but have forgotten my password. Since I no longer attend the school which provided the e-mail account I had (stupidly) linked to my iTunes Account there is no way to find out my password. I have 2GB worth of songs on my new iTune's account, and I do expect that to grow.
I do have a lot of pictures, but they are all on Facebook and Google's Picaso Application. I really do not see myself using the iPad 2's cameras much, and not to mention I heard they left the consumer lacking.
I perform a lot of work in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; however with iCloud and the 'Dropbox' App I should be able to save my work online, right?
I do not travel much, but when I do travel it is long distances. (Example: 2008 - England for 1 month, 2009 - Ireland for one month, 2010 - Wales and Scotland for one month) Would WiFi work in the UK, Italy, Greece, India, Peru, Guatemala, etc.? I cannot see how it would be, but I am just now truly jumping on the technology bandwagon.
Can I back-up ALL of my iPad 2's files on a external hard drive via a PC Computer?
WiFi Only or WiFi+3G?
One mile from my house in every direction some form of high speed internet is offered, but my family and I are stuck using dial-up (shhh.... shhh.... it's okay.... don't cry for me too hard). My HTC Desire cellular phone contracted through US Cellular offers a Mobile WiFi Hotspot and only offers 2GB of service. Can you sign up for a iPad 2 WiFi+3G data plan without having a cellular plan through either AT&T or Verizon? Is the 3G service only offered in the USA?
How to the WiFi Only and WiFi+3G differ? Just being able to get online even when there isn't a WiFi connection available?
Will the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote Apps fulfill my need for Mircosoft 2010 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint?
I must be able to create, open, edit, save, and send work to my professors. I understand that I can accomplish all these things should my professor use an Apple Product; however, what if my professor does not? Will Windows 7 Microsoft 2010 be able to open my work?
Is there a video, book, ebook, or guide on how to use Pages, Numbers, and Keynote? I have never used these applications and from what I have seen it will be quite an adjustment for me.
Can I take music or videos off my iPad should my space begin to run low?I have bought several songs and videos on my iTunes Account, but what if I sync my iTunes Library only to find when it has finished that I have only 3GB of memory left? (Probably a stupid question, but I am trying to cover all angles before making such a purchase)
Can I buy textbooks via the iTunes Store, CourseSmart, or Textbook Application?
I have researched CourseSmart to the best of my ability and it seems that you can only rent eTextbooks. Is the accurate? Not that I am complaining! By renting textbooks on the iPad 2 via the CourseSmart Application the device will have paid for itself in just two semesters. Considering I have at least another 3.5 years of study ahead of me there is no telling just how much money I can save!
Should actually buying eTextbooks not yet be available is there any chance it might be in the near future???
Are there any Stylus Pens available that can write on paper while also writing on the iPad 2?
I am a very heavy-handed person and am scared I will somehow damage (Scratching the screen, accidently pressing down too hard, etc.) the iPad 2 should I try and use a Stylus on the screen.
Should this product not exist: If I were to use an available Stylus (Which are good and which are bad??) would there be a problem with both the Stylus and my hand touching the screen at the same time? When I write my fingers and hand both touch the paper, and so I am worried I will make a useless purchase.
iPad 1 released in 2010. iPad 2 released in 2011. iPad 3 released in 2012?
Does anybody know if Apple is currently working on or close to completing the iPad 3? I do not wish to buy the iPad 2 at the end of December and then have a newer model with better hardware upgrades come out 2 or 3 months later.
I understand that technology advances quickly, but will iPad 2 continue to be the world's leading tablet device or is Apple going to release the next 'world's leading tablet device' soon?
I wish to thank any and every person who responds to this. I know this is a lot of questions, but to me the iPad 2 means paying up a lot of money. I work part-time at a Boys and Girls Club and I have to make every cent count. The iPad 2 seems to be an absolutely amazing device and I truly hope that it will be the best product to fulfill my needs. I must make a decision soon because Santa Claus is on his way!
Again, thank you for your responses and for your time!
Hunter Shelton

The ipad is certainly no replacement for a computer/laptop.
It is used in conjunction with a laptop/computer. It is simply a big ipod/iphone.
I would not even consider the ipad for your needs.

IPAd saying not recognising server, won't sync with phone, not let me apps???

Ok so I have been travelling South America for 3 months. In the first 6?weeks my iPAd and I phone were syncing and working well. When I updated my phone and iPad to the 7.o2 my iPad started asking for my apple account which then was coming up incorrect. I reset this, but nothing came to my nail. I answered the questions, but it still wasn't recognising the password. My photos weren't syncing anymore, I'm not able to access iTunes or apps. When I try to log onto Facebook from Safari, it comes up weird and in a list of normal writing. My iPad says it does not recognise the server.
Everything is working well on my iPhone, but really need my iPad for travelling essentials which is the reason I bought it. Downloading books, music ,games , photos to fb etc.
Can someone please help?? I've tried resetting the iPad, but nothing. My email address is my id so this is only used.
There is no email address for apple support and only a number which would cost a bit from Peru
Thanks
Sheryl

You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
There are many ways to reach applesuppohttp://www.apple.com/support/contact/ depending on where you are.
