Re: I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

Re: iPad 3 won't connect to Macbook Pro

Close all apps on the iPad, reset the iPad again and then try to sync again. Quit iTunes and restart your computer as well before you try syncing again.


Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. 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 twice.


If that still doesn't fix it, the next thing that I would try is to reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will have to enter all device settings again, but you will not lose any data or content.

Re: ipad restore now wants password

Your scenario description sounds strongly like you are being asked for the backup encryption password.  If you cannot remember it, these paragraphs apply:

______________

Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.

If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Re: my ipad is disable and is telling me to connect to itunes and i dont own a personal computer. However; i have made major itunes purchases and i dont want to lose any my music and info. please help

There is no way around it. You have to restore your iPad now. You still need access to a computer or an iOS device of some type in order to use Find My iPhone so that you can wipe the device and start all over again.

Read this for more information.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

If you have an iCloud backup, you may be able to restore from that after you activate the device again. You will be able to download most of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID.

Re: Is there an easy to understand way to sync photos from an iPad to a laptop running windows?

You are asking this question

"Is there an easy to understand way to sync photos from an iPad to a laptop running Windows?"

You do not sync photos from the iPad to a computer - you import them to the computer. It really doesn't get an easier to understand than what is explained in this kb article.

iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from ... - Support - Apple

If you are asking about syncing photos from the computer to the iPad, that is something different. I do not have Photo Manager Pro but I do have another Wireless Transfer app and it could not be easier to use. I suspect that there is something missing from your description of what you are trying to do.

I use Macs rather than PCs, but it ought to go something like this:

* Disconnect the broken iPad.

* Connect the new iPad to the PC.

* Use iTunes to initiate a restore from the backup of the old iPad.

Re: iPad is not charging???

from one moment to another the iPad of my 8year old isn't charging anymore??

This morning got the message "battery 10%" so I've connected it to the charger and left to do my thing. When checking one hour later the battery is completely drained and I've tried for the past 2 hours to recharge the battery with no luck.

The charger definately is working, I've checked it with my iPhone, so that's not the issue.

Who can help me or had any idea as to what to do since I can't even start the iPad at this moment, eventhough it's connected to the electricity (so no option as to use it while connected to the net)

It's an iPad 1 that we bought from someone else and for the past 3 months no problems at all. At regulare basis charged to 100% and used it to 0% to keep the battery alive. No heat, no sunshine, no water, so al these possible causes are not an option.

Re: Pictures not clear?

Use a camera.

Not trying to be flip but the camera in an iPad 2 is mediocre at best. They're low megapixel cameras meant for facetime, not for serious photo taking.

They do work best in brighter light or outside, but beyond that, they were never intended to produce quality photographs.

Re: I have forgotten m password for my iPad but I dont want to restore it. What do I do?

You have to tell us when it backs up. We don't know what you are using to backup - iTunes or iCloud.

Chances are, if you have to ask, you probably aren't backing up or you would know the answer to your own question. But if you are backing up with iCloud, the iPad should backup when it is locked, connected to WiFi and connected to power. If you use iTunes, the backups occur when you sync with iTunes.

You have to restore the iPad if you forgot the passcode. You can't restore from a backup without unlocking the iPad. So that doesn't apply to your case anyway.

Re: Bad quality photo prints with AirPlay and iPad

Printing via AirPrint (depending on your printer) usually has very limited printing controls, nowhere near what your PC can likely provide. Maybe you can use an image editing app (there are many free apps including Adobe Photoshop Express) to adjust the picture's brightness levels, then print them via AirPrint. Or sync the photos your your PC and use the PC to print the photos...yes, this defeats the purpose of using AirPrint.

Re: Unusual (?) charging problem with iPad 3...

Sounds like a defective charger. Contact the reseller.

Try this first - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

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

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.

Re: How to transfer photos from iPad to Mac?

For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

If you want to change the order of photos that you synced to the iPad from your computer then you need to do it on your computer and then re-sync them : iPad photo sorting. Once the photos are in an album on the iPad you can't change their order.

You can also create new photo albums directly on the iPad if you have iOS 5+ on it via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen, and the photos that you copy into those albums (you can't move you can only copy) will be sorted by the order that you them into them i.e. if you add a new photo to the album then it should appear as the last one.

Re: Apps keep crashing after upgrade to ios 7 ipad2

i am having the same experience (as well as several other problems) since installing iOS7 on my iPad2. The apps briefly appear to open when I tap their icons, but then disappear. double tapping the Home key to bring up the multi-tasking view idicates that the apps are running in the background but, I cannot access them.

This fiasco began because I was unable to login to my One-to-One account after the iOS7 update. I spent 4 hrs on the phone last night, with 4 different people from Apple support, restoring the iPad to factory settings & then restoring the image from my iCloud backup, only to end up with the situation described above. And I still can't login to my One-to-One account, plus I amnow also unable to access the iTunes store. I am sure there are other problems that I have yet to discover.

This has been such a "Windows" experience that I find myself wondering if Apple truly has lost its mojo & mystique. Are their pretty products worth their premium prices? More importantly, are they worth the frustration I experience, & the time that lost from my life, in trying to resolve problems with their"improvements". If asked today, my answer would be a very loud & resounding "NO"!!!!!

Re: I forget my security anwser

If you don't have very many purchases through that original apple ID then in your situation just create a new apple id.

Did you have a rescue email set up? If so you can go to appleid.apple.com and log in, and have your security questions/answered reset through that rescue email and you can do that yourself without contacing apple support...without a  rescue email set up previously you'd have to contact Apple!

If you can't do any of the above options then you'll have to create a new apple ID.

Re: Newsstand never downloads content automatically

I have this same issue .  I'm running iOS 6.1.3 and each day I have to download the NYTimes and WSJ.  I also have to do the same with my weekly/monthly magazines (NY Tiimes, WSJ, NY Magazine, New Yorker, Men's Fitness, Wired, Vanity Fair, Architectural Digest, This Old House, etc).  I've checked the newsstand settings - they ARE set to automatically download the magazines.

I'm not sure when the issue started - ie if it coincided with my update to iOS 6.1.3. 

Does anyone else out there have a similar issue under 6.1.3?   I've searched around the forum and can only find people who's issues were resolved (6.0.x and 5.x versions).
