Why can i still play my game on my ipad eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the app?
Why can i still play my game on my ipad eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the app?
I downlaod the app on my pc via itunes, and the i plug my ipad into the charger, then it auto-sync.
But then i noticed that the game icon appears on my screen. So i clicked it and end up playing it for few hours, eventhough i only downloaded few kb's of the game. I'm still in my confusion. Does it have anything to do with the icloud?
when i return my ipad to Apple store, i forget to erase all content, it is too late?

Hello Apple Community,

In iOS Safari, I've lost the option to view 'Top Sites'
Hey all,
You know that when you create a new tab in iOS6 Safari for iPad, a page pops up with '+' signs to which you can attach pages. It's a mobile version of the desktop Safari's Top Sites, right?
Except on mine I've lost this. Ever since I mistakenly clicked on a site's button saying 'make this page your homepage', I now only see a blank screen when I create a new tab instead.
Can anyone suggest a way for me to get the previous type of page back please?
Thanks!

I do not want to use the cloud, but I need to sync my notes with my mac pro. How do I do this?
Prior to iOS 6, I was happily syncing my iPads and iPhone with my Mac Pro.
This process included syncing my Notes between all of these systems.
Now I am told that I need to use iCloud to sync my Notes. 8(
Is there a way to sync Notes without being forced to use iCloud (this feels like a distenctly Microsoft type of change not a Steve Jobs type of Apple upgrade)

Intermittent WiFi issues on new iPad 3.
Hi.
I got my iPad 3 Wifi + cellular yesterday, brand new from my network.
After setting it up I started to use the WiFi in order to install the apps I wanted to from the app store. During this, my iPad disconnected several times from the router and then I had to reconnect it when the Wireless signal popped up again.
I am very near to the router, so it is not due to anything blocking it. My router is a Netgear WGT624v3 running the latest firmware (it is not a 'N' supporting router however).
I have no troubles like this with any of my laptops or iPhones in the house, and so have deduced it is a problem within the iPad itself.
Thanks,
Sam.
Apps won't download on my iOS devices.
I have a 3rd generation iPad and an iPhone 4, both of which are encountering problems downloading apps from the app store.
I first noticed the problem about 5 days ago, whenever i attempt to download an app or an update to an app it just stops at "waiting" on the home screen. I am unable to pause/resume the app status, as when i tap on it nothing happens.
if i leave the app for about 5-10 minutes i get a warning pop up along the lines of "could not connect to the iTunes store"...my wifi is connected fine and i have tried it on other peoples wifi and still have the same problem.
I have tried resetting the iPad and iPhone and that doesn't fix it either.
I even went to the extend of wiping the iPad completely and restoring from iCloud and that didn't fix it, I tried then restoring as a completely new iPad and that didn't fix it either.
I was beginning to think that it must be an issue with my apple ID, however it still lets me sign in ok and when i plug my iPad into my MacBook Pro and open iTunes I am able to install the apps via that method.
To be clear, it is installing or updating apps on my iOS devices themselves that refuses to work.
I hope you can advise a solution as I am becoming increasingly frustrated with my lack of progress on what seems such a ridiculous issue as downloading apps is one of the more basic functions of an iOS device.

Is anyone else having wifi drop out problems with ipad mini.
I have noticed that my 64GB iPad mini is having problems retaining a wifi connection.
I have exchanged the first at an Apple store but can see the same problem replicated in the replacement device. None of my other apple devices have this problem
Specifically I have noticed that for regular browsing it is fine. However once I ask it to down load a series of files such as an album or newspaper it drops the connection. The new one see,s better then the old that I exchanged. But it still drops. Beginning to think its an iOS problem. But why would it only appear on the iPad mini?

Permanent lines on ipad mini screen
I have had my ipad mini for 2 days. I have noticed that there are permanent lines "burnt" into the screen. In landscape mode the lines are vertical; in portrait, the lines are horizontal. It is really noticeable when viewing dark images or films. It also shows up when viewing web sites on safari.
I don't remember seeing this at first but I've only just got around to putting any pics or films onto the mini. I would post an image but if I do a screen grab, the lines aren't there.

Re: why is my ipad not charging
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

Why is the iTunes synch so terrible?!! ALWAYZ!
I've had each iteration of the iPhone and now each interation of the iPad, excluding the iPad mini. No matter which version, the updating via iTunes is terrible! What idiot designed it to remove everything just to update then put it all back . . . so that you lose everything if the update fails? I avoided the latest update because EVERY TIME I update on ANY iPhone or iPad it FAILS. EVERY TIME. So now I've been crapping around with my iPad for 6 hours because its totally hosed AGAIN because I was foolish enough to think Apple FINALLY figured out how to get the updates to run smoothly . . . NOT. I'm so glad I have my Android phone and my Windows laptop. They've always been more stable and more reliable. I don't get Apple heads who pretend Apple is infallable. My experience is that its far more hoaky than other brands and far fewer resources and options to resolve issues once your apple-ish screws up . . . do I have a quesiton? no. just my comment that I can't wait to purchase the Windows 9 Surface and give the crApple to my 13yr old . . . NEXT . . . .

Recovering Lost Pages Document After iPad Battery Dies?
I finished a very important college project yesterday night. I saved it, it was finished, everything was great - then my iPad battery died. No big deal, I plugged it in to charge overnight. This morning, I started my iPad2 back up to see that many Pages documents I purposefully deleted yesterday have magically re-appeared and my college project is gone. I've shut down my iPad and restarted it (I usually just leave it on sleep with my Smart Cover and never shut it off). Unfortunately, nothing has changed and my project is still gone. Through the Pages app, I sent it from my iPad to my personal email address on Gmail, but it isn't in my inbox, spam, or any other folder that it could have been sent to. I know that I saved it on my iPad. Is there any way I could possibly recover this? Thank you for your help.

Re: Downgrade ios 6 to ios 5
Do you think it is possible Apple made a commercial (albeit immoral) decision to make iOS6 so inefficient on an iPhone 4, and then prevented downgrading from iOS 6, so as to force us to upgrade to iPhone 5 (and lightning)?
The software upgrade seems to have reconfigured my 30-pins so my Bose soundock II no longer plays unless I lean the iPhone forward quite a lot, and does not now charge in my in-car FM transmitter.
IF I had read the fine print about not downgrading I would not have upgraded!
Perhaps Appl ewill do the right thing and allow downgrading?
Downloaded the piano keyboard app and will not work at all...also no sound. This app only. Refund??
Try a couple of basic troubleshooting steps,
Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus 
sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Delete the app and reinstall. You will not have to pay for it again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Hold down on the icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon to delete the app. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Go back to the App Store purchased tab and download the app again.
iPad on prevents MBP from sleeping
When my iPad(3) is on (WiFi mode) my MBP will not sleep.
Putting the iPad into the Airplane mode lets my computer sleep normally.
I presume this applies to all Apple computers, but I have only noticed it on my MBP.
This was discovered by reading the Console log:
With the iPad in the Airplane mode, there are few console messages.
However, when I turn the Airplane mode off on the iPad, the console is "flooded" with these kinds of messages:
4/9/12 12:56:33.000 PM kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 252 to 250 packets per second
4/9/12 12:56:35.000 PM kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 252 to 250 packets per second
4/9/12 12:56:38.000 PM kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 252 to 250 packets per second
4/9/12 12:56:41.000 PM kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 252 to 250 packets per second
4/9/12 12:56:44.000 PM kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 252 to 250 packets per second
4/9/12 12:56:47.000 PM kernel: Limiting closed port RST response from 252 to 250 packets per second
Obviously, my MBP cannot sleep with all this going on. I presume this is normal, and I wonder how long before the log is filled up with this data?
Steps to prevent theft of Apple products
Hello and welcome to my User Tip
"iCrime" is on the rise, also called "Apple picking" and other names.
The SFPD has identified a recent trend of electronic devices robberies on Muni.
Passengers using iPhones and laptop computers on Muni vehicles are being targeted. Also being targeted are people using these devices while waiting for Muni vehicles at Muni coach stops, bus shelters, and light rail vehicle platforms.
Passengers are reminded to be aware of their surroundings while traveling on Muni. Suspects prey on victims using these devices knowing they are distracted while texting or listening to music on PDAs, using laptops, and talking on cellular phones. Passengers should be careful to limit the use of these devices and always be aware of other passengers on the vehicle.
How big is the iCrime wave? National data aren't available, but in New York, there were more than 26,000 incidents of electronics theft in the first 10 months of 2011—81% involving mobile phones—according to an internal police-department document. In Washington, D.C., cellphone-related robberies jumped 54% from 2007 to 2011, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.
I'm going to explain some street smart criminal thinking and how best you can avoid becoming a victim of crime with your Apple products.
The criminal mind is mostly basically motivated by the need to acquire items of value to either sustain themselves and/or their drug habit. Some criminals commit crimes for the sheer thrill of it as it makes them feel alive. Some do it to people they know because they don't like them or as a form of psychological warfare.
Some do it because they are very young kids and don't know any better yet or don't have the concept of private property learned yet. Some societies in island nations I have visited are like that, anyone can just borrow anything of anyone's at any time because it's a very small community and they share everything anyway and always work together in groups to acquire food or work on a project.
Most crimes are crimes of opportunity, the criminal, like a hunter, is always on the lookout to gain a monetary advantage. You can usually tell some of these kind of people, they have very little attributes that would make them a ideal candidate for employment and advancement, either by their looks, their age, or their dress or how they carry themselves. However some people act like that sometimes and other times hold down a perfectly respectable job, changing roles as needed or just out with friends for a night on the town. The objective is to mentally gauge if the person(s) are desperate enough to perform criminal activity or not, not what they wear or how they act exclusively.
Apple products are considered luxury items
They have great return value for the work involved acquiring them illegally. They are also highly ascetically pleasing, this often motivates the impulsive emotional based criminal who wants to have "oh shiny" to themselves because they otherwise can't afford it or don't want to separate with the cash even if they do have it, finding stealing it a much better option.
Some people just have a aversion with parting with money in large amounts, so they steal instead.
Crime is usually taking advantage of a opportunity, if you reduce the opportunity, you reduce the potential of crime.
So how do you reduce yourself from becoming a "mark" for theft, burglary or robbery of your Apple products?
You don't let people you don't know, know about your valuables or your security procedures.
You don't make something of value easier for someone to take, even if you do know them.
You reduce the time it takes to take valuable items and cause the persons trying to take them unexpected delays and increase their chances of being caught.
When you trust others, it shouldn't be given lightly, but earned gradually over time in increasing amounts.
Don't assume just because you think something couldn't occur, doesn't mean it won't.
Don't flash your expensive or desirable Apple product unless in locations you know it's safe to do so.
For instance you don't use your $3500 MacBook Pro in a coffee shop surrounded by people using $400 Window PC laptops. If you do, you cover the logo or dress down the machine as not to advertise your rich or superior or better than others that may motivate a theft or a accidental drink spill on your keyboard which will fry it in seconds.
You certainly don't leave the machine unattended to grab something or head to the restroom unless there is a lock on it to prevent a snatch and grab by some thief who can run away faster than you can catch them, and even if you do likely damage the machine in the process.
I'm sure it's quite illegal in nearly all business locations to lock the doors, in the case of fire or other panic, so basically you can't leave something of value unattended.
Don't wear the signature white Apple earbud headphones of iPods, iPhones etc., in areas that tell the criminal you have a pricey Apple device in your pocket, only in environments where you know your safe to do so.
Use a black case cover to hide the shiny metal signature back of a iPod or iPhone so it looks like any ordinary crap phone.
Use black headphone cables, even those cheap looking over the head ones, in public places where you could become a victim of crime. If your in such a location you shouldn't use anything that advertises you have anything of value, even if it's only worth $5. Crackheads will steal or rob even items of small value amounts items to support their habit.
While your sizing up the potential threats around you
The criminal hunter is also sizing you up for potential for attack and profit. They will gauge your behavior, and your clothing, your hair cut, the roughness of your hands, even your tan level to try to figure out what you are so as to see if they can frighten you or make you act in a response method they are familiar what the outcome would be or assess your personality and their chances of success.
They also want to know if it's worth the effort too, people who are wealthy usually carry only credit cards, however if they are carrying a iPhone and/or a nice watch or jewelry, then would make a inviting target. The very poor are not worthy targets, the young middle class worker may be prime as they tend to carry cash more often than not and not established credit yet to have cards.
The criminal is looking for cash or items they can quickly sell for profit at the local drug dealer or fence, this could even include expensive liquors one buys at a local store, which is highly sought after by fences as it's consumed and the evidence is then gone from memory. Tide laundry detergent is a another highly sought after item because say a dozen bottles gets the crackhead a $5 rock, the fence can sell the Tide to the poor masses for a profit. Some of the Tide actually winds up back on the stores shelves again as crony store owners buy the stolen goods cheaper than they can wholesale.
Criminals may beg you for a dollar to see your cash ("sorry I only carry credit cards" or "I used the last dollar in the store there"). They may pretend to be a Apple fan to get you to take out your precious. Some may pull the trick where they motion to you to lower your head phone volume, even though they can't hear it, just so you take it out or sheepishly comply with their illogical order to test your resolve.
If you see something isn't right, you should take the headphones off as to have all your senses on alert and start slowly placing some distance between you and the other, but not in a manner that conveys fear, just act like this is your next stop or other normal behavior, but your actually trying to get around others for protection or better your physical position to defend against a attack.
Do not eyeball a challenger or deranged person directly (which is challenging or conveys fear depending how you hold your eyes), or turn your back to them (which conveys disrespect or contempt and also makes you vulnerable as you can't see them), rather keep them in view out of the corner of your eye and remain disinterested, they might grow disinterested too or distracted which would be your opportunity to quietly leave the area.
The aggressive criminal may realize the prey is street smart and starts thinking this person may have a hidden advantage which could prove fatal to them, especially if your hands start disappearing behind clothing or other objects and stay like that, like your reaching for a weapon. However do start placing some distance, saying nothing, that conveys you really don't want trouble, but your prepared to inflict substantial damage if attacked.
Don't try bluffing a aggressor, threatening them, reasoning with them or communicating with them if possible. Actions speak louder than words.
When you jockey your physical position to avoid a potential attack, do so in a manner that others are watching your back so the full 360º view is covered, in fact if around strangers, ask them to watch your back too. As soon as you "herd up" you have greatly improved your physical tactical advantage and safety.
One should be consciously making sure one doesn't wind up in situation where their alone and vulnerable to attack from a single attacker. It's rare to see groups of people attacking as it takes the entire group to be highly motivated, it's mostly one highly and desperate person trying to find a easy mark.
In one's home, don't leave the computer or device out.
In a fashion that it can be quickly taken in a burglary or by a visitor with a problem unknown to you who can slip it into their pocket and then claim ignorance or threaten to sue you for defamation of character when you accuse them of stealing once they have left.
Don't have the device(s) viewable from the front door, or via a window, or entryway, like a lot of home offices are located right near the front door where delivery people arrive and thus can inform others of potential targets. Burglars often "case" a location for it's reward potential before attempting a break in as they don't want to get caught, some just go ahead and do it the first time they know your not home and grab whatever they can and run as the alarm is blaring.
The objective is to reduce their reward potential and their time limit, also the knowledge of who knows what about your possessions.
The iMac and the MacPro has a nice large holes in the rear where a thick chain can be employed discretely to anchor the machine down to a wall stud or concrete anchor out of view. The burglar may give it a tug and notice it's chained down, not even bother, rather opting for another object they deem is of value and they can carry off faster instead.
If they don't see another object and get upset they can't get the computer, they may smash it, but at least you will still have it's data and can make a insurance claim. Leave out some bait objects like some dead X-Boxes in a pile that looks perfect for the single burglar to carry them all away, haha.
The MacBook Pro and other small computers should be locked in a non-movable safe and/or hidden in some fashion where it takes longer to find it. The thin security cables used to lock MacBook Pro's are just about worthless and only used to keep honest people honest, or having observed machines from being moved around. A thief see's that thin cable and just goes and shoplifts themselves a pair of cutters they can hide in their pocket and use in a few seconds to cut the cable and make off with the machine.
Since computers can be replaced and are usually of less value than your data, you should also make multiple backups like bootable clones of your entire boot partition on a external drive and keep it in a safe or other locations like bank safe deposit boxes. Reason for this is simple, if they take your computer, they are going to take the TimeMachine drive hooked up to it as well, you will be glad to have a bootable clone and other backups in a safe someplace off site.
In one's vehicle, don't leave the computer or device out.
In a fashion that it can be seen by those peering through the windows.
If your data is extermely sensitive and you must leave the computer in the vehicle, I'd advise a car alarm and a metal chest bolted from the inside to the floor, perhaps behind the drivers seat for easy access and storing of laptops. One can use a floor mat to cover the box for passengers to rest their feet on it.
The trunk is another good location for a car safe. The object is to make it harder for smash and grabs to occur. Delay their access time while the alarm is sounding a alert.
Colleges are famous locations where a lot of theft occur.
It's because people who have come from safe environments where they trusted everyone not to steal meet people who come from places that do. Combine that with the fact that a lot of young college students are on limited budgets, the large amount of people involved making finding the person responsible difficult, makes theft of pricey Apple objects a highly often occurring behavior on campuses.
Another potential for theft is having your iPod, iPhone or GPS mounted on the dashboard of your vehicle, sometimes those electronic remote unlock buttons get hit accidentally when you place them into your pocket, popping open your doors and even your truck as you walk away. Had a iPod stolen that way and I was right inside the house,10 feet away, when it occurred, that's how brazen thieves can be.
When evaluating your location security, consider what can be done and the time it takes to do so. For instance, windows large enough for someone to fit through, walls soft enough to tunnel through or doors easily jimmied with a crowbar; how to you defend your items inside after that has occurred? How much time does a burglar have before the police arrive to grab something and run away?
Think like a criminal who is trying to get inside, undetectable, grab as much value, with the least amount of confrontation and getting away successfully, all as easily as possible. Place unexpected barriers to all those actions they can potentially take, without jeopardizing yourself in the process, as you can't always be around all the time to protect your valuables.
About recovery efforts after the fact with stolen Apple items.
You should file a report along with the serial number etc., with your local law enforcement. There might be a good chance it can be recovered along with other items if the thief or fence is caught, but don't place your hopes too high on recovery, you likely won't want it back anyway as it's likely to have been damaged.
Don't place great faith in the "find my computer" other attempts at recovery after the theft occurred. It can sometimes catch the local dumb thief, it's really used as a deterrent but won't stop a seasoned pro or one smart enough to remove themselves several times away from the stolen device, or wait until the "heat" is off.
Your best bet is to practice preventative measures in all aspects of your life and not rely too much upon measures after the fact, just if you get lucky it can be returned by a slip-up by the crooks.

Re: ipad mini stop charging at 90%!?
Are you using the wall charger? Not sure what's causing it. Try recalibrating the battery.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Can't sent E-mail on a server which does not support any authentication
On the new Ipad mini and new Ipod IOS 6.0.1 the option to sent E-mails without user authentication is not possible.
In Belgium all main internetproviders (relay.skynet.be and uit.telenet.be) do not support authentication for sending E-mails...
Or do I oversee something?

Can I sync an iPad but omit one app update?
I have asked this question in iTunes without success so will try here for a wider audience.
I have a housebound relative who uses her iPad and Facebook as her link to the outside world.
There is a badge for the new Facebook app but looking at the comments about it the App update has caused many Facebook account to be rendered lmost unusable from n iOS device.. My relative does not want to upgrade the app until the problems are resolved for fear of losing the use of Facebook.
However he does keep her iPad Synced with iTunes regularly. So is there any way that an iTunes sync can be carried out but the Facebook app update omitted so in fact she keeps the current app she is using.
I think not but would welcome any suggestions.

Apple screws Ipad 3 customers with iPad 4
Don't give up. My brother and many others got credits for being the ones who stood in line days for the FIRST IPhone and months after paying FULL price, they dropped the price several hundred dollars.
Myself? Between ipad, warranties and accessories, I'm out of nearly $1000. Best Buy told me tonite I could do a trade in for $369. But clearly that price won't last forever as we get further from today. Fast action is the key.
ANd I understand tech life cycle but darn it, my ORIGINAL Droid cell was the darling of Androids for darned near two full years. And considering it was almost ONE TENTH the price of my ipad I was comfy giving it a proper funeral.

Apple Configurator for teachers
Hi,
I'm the school district IT Administrator. I recently received 500+ New iPads. I used my laptop to configure all of the them using Configuirator. I've created each school and the iPads going to them. Now I want to do the following but don't know how.
1. I want to move my Configurator settings to the teachers computer at their respective schools.
2. I want to delete other schools on my Configurator and leave only the school setting on my Configurator.
3. What is a good MDM tool FREE for my teachers to use at their schools.
Thank you in advance.
