Why does the order in my iphoto album not appear in the same order as iphoto on my ipad 3

Newbie to the forum.  Love Apple products, but this iPhoto app is driving me crazy!  Why does the order in my iphoto album in my Macbook not appear the same in iphoto on my ipad 3 after I use itunes to sync the album?

Unable To Share Photo Stream With Anyone

ve been navigating the very unintuitive process to share photos on both the Photos App on the iPad as well as iPhoto on OS X.  I understand the iPhone adds yet another different way to do the same thing, so we'll skip that for now as this has more to do with the actual service it seems since I cannot share photos with anyone else from either the iPad or the Mac.

 

In short: When I try to add a name to the list of shared persons, I enter the e-mail address in the field, and when I click away and click back on the Mac, the e-mail address is gone. I am the only person listed on the shared list of people. Similarly the iPad gives me the ability to add a name, but doesn't show me who is already subscribed ... at least it doesn't show me (the owner) as it does on the iPhoto App. When I enter an e-mail address there, it shows up under the "Subscribers" for an instant, then immediately dissapears. iPhoto on the Mac confirms that they were not added to the subscriber list.

 

OK, so what goes on here? I could understand it might be an upgrade related issue if it didn't happen on both my Mac and my iPad. So is this yet another Apple bug of a promoted feature of iOS 6? Or am I just not understanding how to do this? I can't find any instructions anywhere to confirm whether I am doing it correctly.

 

Bottom line: I cannot add ANYBODY to the shared subscriber list the way it is adverstised that I am supposed to be able to.

 

Is there some criterea that I am overlooking for they type of subscriber who can be added? It doesn't seem to work with .mac, or .me iCloud addresses, nor any others. So I am at a loss.

 

Thanks ...

Viewer with metadata

I have been unable to find an app that will show the iptc caption with the image. IOS native photo will not do it. iPhoto will not do it. Focus Point comes close, but mandatorily inserts a data panel over the image. Does anyone know an app that will do it?

Will Journals saved on iCloud remain after they're deleted on my iPad?

I'm using iPhoto's at the moment and am having great fun with the Journals part of the app. However im not pleased with the image duplication which seems to be going on - but thats another thread!

 

Anyway, I've synced my first Journal to iCloud and everything works (mostly) fine.

 

However, my question is - if I delete the photos off my iPad (to save space), what happens to the Journal on iCloud? Will it sync with my iPad and therefore delete everything off there as well?

 

I presume not but I'm really not sure as there doesn't seem be any 'options' to change what iCloud does.

 

Cheers

Cannot see shared libraries

I have a 1st gen iPad (ipad1) running iOS 5.1.1

 

Ipad1 is connected to iTunes 11.0.1.12 on my windows 32 bit laptop (laptop1) using my Apple ID (ID1)

 

I have just bought a new iPad retina (ipad2) running iOS 6.0.1 for my partner

 

Ipad2 is connected to ITunes 11.0.1.12 on my partners' windows 32 bit laptop (laptop2) using his Apple ID (ID2)

 

We want to share content, including apps, books, films and music so we tried to set up home sharing over our wireless Internet home network

 

We have authorised ID1 and ID2 on both laptop1 and laptop2

 

We have set up home sharing using ID2 on both laptop1 and laptop2

 

Both laptops have the firewalls switched off

 

But we still cannot see each other's libraries on iTunes on laptop1 and laptop2

 

We have tried rebooting, shutting down and reopening iTunes, turning home sharing off and on etc. but still cannot get it to work and it is driving us mad. Many posts suggested this was a problem with iTunes 11 so we even tried reverting to iTunes 10.3.1 and still could not see each others libraries.

 

Could someone please help!

Mac Mini, Synology, Apple TV, iTunes - where to start

Hi Everyone,

 

I am new to the apple forum. To be honest I am new to the whole Apple thing, being a Windows bod I managed to resist the Apple gravy train for several years before giving in and falling inline.

 

Now I find myself with an iphone, ipod touch, ipad 2, mac mini and apple TV 4 although not all in use yet... This brings me to my question.

What is the best home setup for sharing?

 

let me set the scene.

3 years ago I modernised my house and put in cat5e structured cabling throughout, all back to a comm rack in the loft. at the time I set up a powerful quad core server. I used to run my own AD domain, Exchange server (don't ask). Now the server runs Windows 7 professional with 8 HDDs running raid 5 mainly running windows media centre and I was using my xbox 360s as extenders. The view was to use Xbox's around the house to access my media. Never quite got there and things have moved on again.

 

After running the big Windows beast 24x7 for about 18 months I wanted to scale down again, improve data resillience and provide a simple user interface for my other half.

 

So after doing some initial web trawling armed and dangerous with a very small amount of knowledge and realising that I already had an amount of Apple kit to contribute towards an iTunes based mulitroom solution. The red mist came down and with credit card in hand I did some retail therapy. Not the female handbag and shoes type but the proper male tech kind.

 

I already had

1 x ipod touch 64GB

1 x iphone 4 32GB

1 x ipad 2 64GB wifi

 

And to complement the set I now have;

1 x i5 2.7GHZ, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD Mac mini (this is the latest version which I upgraded to 2 x 1TB internal drives)

1 x 4th gen apple TV

and non Apple kit

1 x Synology DS212+  with 8TB storage raid 0

1 x Onkyo TX-NR515 AV receiver

 

 

So now comes to the ask. How best to use all of this over my home wired network?

I'm thinking I will use iTunes, I want to have some form of data backup between the Synology and the Mac mini (I want to shut down my windows server)

I also want to be able to control it all from the ipad/ipod and push media (audio and video) around the house.

The mac mini is currently plugged into one of my TVs via the AV receiever and the thought was to use the apple TV in another room, and depending of how it goes buy another 1 or 2 for other rooms.

So I have all this kit and not sure where to start and I'm not a mac expert. I know I can't use the synology box on it's own as you need itunes for the apple TVs, I don't know whether to use the Synology or the local Mac storage for the primary itunes library and then to backup to the device is so how (time capsule thing).

I don't want itunes to organise my media as I don't like the way it shuffles files around, so thinking of keeping the media files in a folder structure I am familar with and pointing iTunes at that. I also have a large amount of video files that I will probably have to convert to be capatible with iTunes, but not sure of the best way to do this, if I need to at all.

 

Sorry for the long waffle. Would be interested in any views, suggestions, ideas or examples of your own set ups. In return, for what it is worth I will let you know how I get on.

 

many thanks for your input

Home Sharing Just Won't Connect

Good morning all, I just want to add my voice to the carcophony with regards iTunes Home Sharing setup to my iPad and my new ATV2.

 

This past weekend we bought a new ATV2 to go with the new TV. Got home, unboxed it all and plugged it all in. It all set up seemlessly, both the new TV and the ATV2 found the wireless connection, password accepted which allowed us to successfully connect to Netflix and YouTube. After playing around for a while with the new toys I decided to try and setup Home Sharing. I followed the instructions: turn on Home Sharing in iTunes, then do the same on the reset of your devices using the same user name and password. Check. Only, not "check" because it doesn't work.

 

I've been floating around these forums for a few days now trying to troubleshoot and find the issue. I have triple checked login information on all the devices. I have "reset" the ATV2 to no avail, all it did was get me back to the point of being able to use Netflix, YouTube, Radio / Music, and AirPlay. Last night I played around with the Windows Firewall thing in the XP control panel, adding the port numbers from one of the other posts. Nope. I change the wireless router setting to the correct WPA setting that's also floating around. Nada. I restarted the wireless router. Nothing.

 

I guess tonight I will log out of EVERYTHING, reset everything and then reboot everything. However, I'm expecting the same underwhelming results.

 

Even my husbands computer won't show up in Home Sharing, and both desktops are hardwired to the moderm/router thing.

 

I'm SO used to Apple's "plug and play" beauty that this is getting frustrating, I've NEVER had to work so hard to get one of their products to work.

 

So to summerize, I've tried a bunch of stuff without success. Netflix, YouTube and the Radio / Music functions work without a problem. I can push content to the ATV2 using AirPlay. However, I can't get Home Sharing to work, and I can't seem to buy stuff through iTunes on the ATV2.

 

What else can I try?

 

Sincerely,

Claire

 

Your average, non-technical, home user.

Clear iPad Cache of Shared Library

Does anyone know how to clear the cache of iTunes Home Sharing on the iPad? I'm making changes to the sorting of my shared TV Shows and I cannot get the ipad to show my changes. The only way I can figure out is if I restore the device and then connect to home sharing. I've tried restarting the device, the pc, clearing cache content from itunes folder... No luck. Any ideas? Shouldn't iTunes have a clear cache button that tells the devices to re-download all the info about the files?

What is the best home set up for a family to share/use apple products

Hi, I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas.  New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.

 

In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally.  I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:

 

Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).

 

Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.

 

Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though

 

cloud, contacts, facetime, email -  this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones

 

Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?

 

Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you in advance to any potential advisers.

Wrong cover artwork on iOS.

Hi everybody.

I have a huge issue or problem with home sharing on any iOS device. When i view or browse my iTunes content on my MacBook Pro, everything looks perfect and show does it on my Apple Tv.

 

But whenever i want to watch a tv show or movie from my iTunes library on either my iPad or iPhone through the Video app. All cover artwork is displayed incorrectly.

 

I've had this problem for as long as i have had my iPad. I was hopping that Apple might have fixed this huge bug when updating to iTunes 11.

 

Does anyone have a fix for this... Super annoying. Almost makes the video app useless.

 

I've attached a screenshot herre: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bntzmynpg7z9aoj/Photo%2023-12-12%2012.32.56.jpg

We uploaded a video on imovie from my daughter's ipad 2 to itunes. How do I access it on my other devices?

My daughters created a movie using imovie on the ipad 2.  When we tried to upload it to the camera roll or you tube, it always failed.  The only place it says it uploaded correctly was to itunes.  How do I access it on our laptop from itunes?  We have authorized the laptop as one of our devices, but I have no idea where to find the uploaded movie in itunes itself.  Can anyone help me out?

 

Does anyone know why the movie might not upload to the camera roll or you tube?

 

We want to upload it and save it to another device, because we need to delete it off of the ipad.  It is taking up too much space and all the pictures they took to make the video are taking up even more space.

 

Help me if you can.

Complete My Season won't show up

I've bought a bunch of episodes from The Simpsons Season 3 (which I know is eligible for CMS) but for some reason it won't show me the Complete My Season price. It does however give me the option on Season 2, of which I have bought less episodes.

 

If I click the $24.99 price to buy do you think it'll use the CMS price I'm not seeing or charge me $24? Any ideas on how to get it to show up? I'm on an iPad running iOS 6

2 daugheters received an iPad. Both are on my iTunes account. How to differentiate the two devices in the Game Center?

Song won't play on my iPhone?

I bought a song on iTunes on my phone. It is listed in my music library, but whenever I touch it to play the song, it skips over it and starts playing a random song in my music collection. This might be because when I bought the song, it was downloading on iTunes and I played it when it was about 3/4 done downloading.

 

I payed $1.29 for this song and I can't try to buy it again because iTunes says that I already have it. Should I delete it and buy it again?

 

I just wish this wouldn't of happened because it put a big damper on my day :(

 

Thanks everyone!

Backing up .epub files from iBooks

Hi,

 

I wonder if there is a way to back up your iBooks .epub files? They're not purchased eBooks, rather, they're fanfiction downloaded from fanwork archive like http://archiveofourown.org/ (if you check the works, there's a neat little link where you can download the .epub and open them in your iBooks). I've got some two hundred files saved in my current iPad. I'm planning on buying a new iPad soon.

 

Does this mean I'd lose all the .epub files I have in my current iPad?

 

Is there a way of creating a back-up of these files so I could download them into my new iPad?

 

Thanks in advance.

Can't pair my iPad 2 with iTunes 11 (Remote isn't Working)

Hello Guys,

 

I have an iPad 2 and just bought an Apple TV and i want to use Home Sharing between them. But my Remote App (iPad 2) and iTunes 11 (PC / 64-bit Windows 7) don't let me do it.

 

* All the devices are connected in the same Wi-Fi network
* All the devices' Home Sharing feature is open

 

When i'm opening Remote app and following the "Settings > Add an iTunes Library" path, a four-digit code appears. But in my iTunes, there isn't any place for entering this code. I tried everything. But nothing worked. Apple Support page says that "You must also have the iTunes preference "Look for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad Remotes" enabled" but in my iTunes, it only says "iTunes is not paired with any Remotes" and "Forget All Remotes" button is inactive.

 

Some othe persons have this trouble too. For example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3227453?start=0&tstart=0 and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4130459?start=0&tstart=0 but these discussions didn't help me either.

 

What should i do? I really want to solve this problem. Really. I'm going to mad about that. I'm doing everything on proper, but i can't receive complete service. It is really bothering me.

 

Please help.

Using iTunes

I'm new to iTunes and Apple products, so this is the problem:

 

 

iTunes: I have the latest version for Windows 7. The library is empty, except I just added some videos to it.

 

 

Apple iPad 1: I bought this from another person, which is why there were already some files (videos, pictures, etc.) on the iPad. Some of them I found useful, so I want to keep some files.

 

 

The Situation: When I connected the iPad to the computer, they recognized it and let me play the files. Somehow the computer don't recognize the iPad as a media storage device (so I can explore the files inside). I want to add the videos I just added to the iTunes's library to the iPad. But I couldn't except using sync, which they'll delete all the videos on the iPad. I can't drag either because for some reasons they don't let me drag the videos to the iPad's video section.

 

 

The Question: Is there an easy way to add the videos to the iPad without losing any files and without using sync? I know iTunes help said you can drag to the iPad, but my computer doesn't let me. Because the iPad wasn't a media storage device, I can't copy files to my computer so I can sync later. So can someone show me a way to add videos to an iPad?

 

Thank you.

Is there a way to sync multiple photo locations with an iPad.

I have an iPad that I share with my girlfried.

I would like to sync both of our 'My Pictures' folders on our Windows 7 PC with the iPad.

I tired creating a new Windows user account for the iPad, then in the 'My Pictures' folder for that accout, I created a symbolic link to my 'My Pictures' folder and another symbolic link to my girl friends 'My Pictures' folder. The problem is that when this syncs to the iPad, the pictures on the iPad are not divided into serperate albums per sub folder. There are just 2 albums - one of my pictures and one of my girlfriends.

Can anyone think of a way to do this that would preserve the sub folders of both mine and my girlfiends pictures.

I suppose I could copy all of my pictures and my girl friends pictures into the iPad's user account on the PC, but this would waste a lot of hard disk space which I would rather not do.

 

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Why does Apple not put its hands up regarding the "No SIM" problem?

After about 18 months of flawless use my iPad 2 developed the "No SIM" problem.

I tried one of the many nostrums on various bulletin boards, airplane mode on /off and so on, and the "No SIM" went away for a week.

It has since come back and will not shift.

On advice from Apple support I did a full restore.

The "No SIM" problem did not go away.

I have had much fruitless dialogue with the automatons at Apple.

The bottom line is that Apple - despite hundreds of complaints on their own bulletin boards,feign ignorance of this issue.

Opinion seems to be firm that this is a hardware problem.

Apple is saying, pay up almost the price of a new iPad and we will swap nout your iPad.

This is daylight robbery with bells on and typical of Apple's business model of selling products woth built in obsolescence.

Their share price will inevitably decline as the public gets fed up with Apple's arrogance and lack of customer empathy.

Re: No Photo Button in iTunes 11.0.1.12

Re: iPad Mini or Refurbished iPad 2

Hi,

Just though I'd let you know my experieinces and try to help you decide!

I have have just bought an iPad mini, and am about to sell my iPad 2 on ebay, and I have to say, I absoluelty love the mini. No regrets whatsoever!

It is so much more manageable. Its usable with one hand, weighs much less than th iPad 2 (about 1/2 as much), its about half the size, it fits into a pocket - dont have to take a bag out if I don't want to, it fits in my tiny bag that i usually just take my lunchbox and my kindle to work in.

Also, the screen is noticably more crisp, as it is the same resolution but smaller. The camera is noticably improved, and the speakers are probably about the same.

I loved typing on the iPad 2, I even wrote my final report on it for uni before i graduated! So far on the mini I've rattled off a few emails, and I havent noticably got more typos, but i do feel like i have to concentrate a little more. Its slightly more tricky than the iPad2, especiaily if you try and lay it on your knee to type, but on a desk, I'd say its a pretty similar experience. although for serious work I'll stil be using my macbook.

For light editing and note taking, its absolutely fine, and the other advtanges massively outweigh the iPad for me.

My only major worry is that the back of it (I have a black one) seems to be made of the same stuff as the iphone 5, and despite me being extremely careful with my iphone, it still has little scratches on the edges, and i think the iPad mini wil go the same way. The silver back on the ipad, and on the white mini doesnt have this problem.

As for storage, i just went for 16GB. I think the prices apple charges for extra storage is ludicrous! I have all my music on my iPhone (which, completely contrary to my previous statement I did pay extra for more storage haha) and if i watch anything on it, then i just stream it. Unless your going to download huge 3D games (e.g. infinity blade, GTA etc) or you want more than 4-5 movies on it at once, I think 16gb will be all that you need.

CineXplayer on the new iPad: why does my avi movie "trembles" while playing?

Hi all,

 

I just purchased the CineXPlayer from the app store because I wanted to play a few AVI movies on my new iPad. I am really disappointed because the app couldn't handle the very first avi movie I threw to it.

 

The same AVI movie plays fine on my iMac using VLC. In cineXPlayer, the movie "trembles" but the sound is ok. Can anyone suggest where the problem might be?

 

I have removed cineXplayer and on the lookout for a free app for my iPad. Any suggestions?

 

 

regards,

Ali

How can I tell who is connected to my Personal Hotspot

Am I the only one having ios 6 ipad 3 wi-fi issues

after my update to ios 6 I tried to set up the ipad and it was unable to join the network....so since then I have reset the network settings, NO SOLUTION!... tried messing with my wireless router settings and switching different channels NO SOLUTION!! , and also reinstalled ios 6 to see if that was the issue....NO RESOLVE!

I have come to terms with the fact that my ipad was fine and connected easily before ios 6 with ios 5, so its not my router or wifi settings.....and my ipod touch 4g was updated to ios 6 as well and it connects absolutely fine to my wifi now.....SO SO FAR I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE UPDATE!

iPhone connecting to wifi but iPad wont

Some things to try first:

1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-network.html

4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)

    •    Launch Settings app

    •    Tap on Wi-Fi

    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list

    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue?  Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad?  I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to.  It's so disappointing!!!!

I am looking for a good text-to-speech app for an iPad.

I am severely sight impaired, and am looking for a good text-to-speech app for an iPad. I am not interested in apps where you type messages to have them read out, but rather apps which will read documents compatible with the iPad.

 

I am not bothered about paying a little money, but I need something which usefully goes beyond 'voice over'.

 

Thanks

Unable to open Facebook App

For sometime I have been completely unable to launch the Facebook app on my iPad. I do not recall anything specific that happened prior to my problems beginning. I have removed the app, deleted my account from the iOS integration, and reinstalled several times to no avail. When I attempt to launch the program all I get is a blank white background and blue bar at the top, after several seconds the app crashes/closes. I have searched around and can't seem to find anyone else having the same issue. Any ideas?

Re: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?

In a mad fit of frustration with my iPhone and WiFi – I have resolved the issue and it is working fully for me now on EVERY connection

If I select my home Network from the “Choose a Network” list in Wi-Fi and connect to NETGEAR (My home network), it takes a while to connect and doesn’t really work properly with all the issues noted in this log. 

BUT, if I select “Other” and enter by actually typing in “NETGEAR” and then “Join” – it connects instantly and works perfectly.

It now also auto-joins each time I turn Wi-Fi off or go out of range, which it was not doing before.  I also note that if I click on it, I now see “Forget this Network” on the connection, which was not there at all before.

So – it would seem that if I try and join some (not all though) networks using the Scanned SSID – I might have problems but if I type it in myself, it works perfectly.  It also seems to matter if I have connected to that network before.

So there must be something wrong with broadcasted SSID’s and how they connect, maybe if I have connected to those networks before on prior IOS versions? Dunno.

Don’t care – It is definitely working for me.  This was pre- 6.0.2 update too - I was running 6.0.1.

It's great to have the phone working as it should.

Prior to this - I had reset Network setting, restored iPhone, setup as new iPhone, changed the way I accepted cookies (random, I know), cleared caches and cookies and a few other random things. None of these made any differences.

Anyway - try it yourself and see it it works for you!!

Re: I pad frozen up

Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Can I make separate folders for my pics

On the photos page, select edit, check the photos you want to group, then select Add to.

You can choose an existing album, or add them to an existing album.

Existing albums must have been created on the iPad. It doesn't use albums created in iPhoto.

If you have iPhoto, you can tag photos with keywords, which allows a virtual grouping by any number of tags.

Languega of iPad.

Since 28th December I can't install new apps and can't update my newspaper. How can this problem be solved?

I can't update my newspaper "Welt HD", nor can I install new apps from the app store.

 

When I try to install an app, only new Icon shows up and is showing "waiting" forever. When I tried to update my newspaper, it only shows "loading" forever.

 

When my iPad connects to the W-LAN, for a sudden I have IP Traffic in downstream. When I turn off my iPad, the traffic goes away.

 

I tried to turn off and reset my iPad several times with no result.

 

Many thanks for all tips,

Re: my ipad4 does not recognise Bose soundlink.

Hi, Thks for the msg.

Yes I tapped on the device without any success.

The problem seems that the ipad4 does not recognise the Bose-sondlink as this does not appear on the window .

Initially after I bought the ipad, the soundlink paired for about 20 mins and then unpaired itself.Since then no success in pairing the soundlink.

My iphone works normally with the soundlink.

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?
