Why don't all the apps I purchased on my old iPad show up on my new iPad's App Store? It's asking me to pay again for a couple of old apps. I already synced my old iPad via cable to iTunes, but they still won't show up on the store.

Stupid question, but are you definitely signed in to the same Apple ID for the App Store?

Yup. I backed up my old ipad, so that the apps would be purchased across all my devices, but it didn't sync up on my other ipad, which is definitely signed up under my id, since stuff I downloaded there showed up on my old ipad.

As long as you're using the same login it won't charge you. It'll pop up a message after you buy the app saying that you've already purchased it and can re-download it for free.

They don't, oddly enough. I managed to fiddle enough with the Apps tab in iTunes to download some stuff, so I guess I'll just do that.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone else experienced battery drain/overheating since the latest iOS update? I spent the past hour or so on my Kindle app and it drained the battery nearly 60%. :witch:

Edit: NM, turned off Background Apps and all is well again!

Really, Safari is a buggy, crashy pain in the rear end in iOS 7. Apple better fix this poo poo in 7.1.

So, replaced my OG Mini with a screen crack with an iPad Air this weekend and this thing is laughably, insanely awesome. I was a bit worried that the larger size would make it cumbersome, but that hasn't been the case. I read with it in bed last night one-handed for a solid three hours (stupid awesomely dumb sci-fi novel) and never felt fatigue.

My wife held it (she uses an iPad 4) and now she's of course bugging me for the upgrade as well.

Prior to this, really badly wanting to upgrade to something retina, I had tried a Nexus 7 and a Kindle HDX 7, as those are often ID'd as the best Android tablets have to offer. They're... not even in the same galaxy as the Air. It's been a great-enough revelation that even my usual latent Catholic guilt at buying something nice for myself is fairly-well squashed.

I have old eyes. I wanted crisp, but larger, text. And a lot of the books I tend to read (histories, heavy on the maps) and my Garageband usage benefit from the bigger screen. I only had a Mini in the first place for the weight savings, but the Air is light enough and my hands are big enough to be able to hold it one-handed for however long I need to.

I was nervous that it would be JUST too big or too heavy to use comfortably (which is exactly my problem with the iPad 4) but they nailed it. It's a pleasure to use.

Cracked the screen on my Air. Amex will replace it free of charge, but i need to send them a repair estimate with all the paperwork. Can I get something like this at the Apple Store, or could I get one online somewhere?

Yeah, a Genius Bar can give you an estimate slip - just make an appointment as usual.

Anybody have recommendations on a nice case for the iPad Air?

Here's what I'm hoping for:
  • Light-weight
  • Built-in stand at different positions
  • Looks like a nice book (like a moleskine, I think?)
The Contegra case from Pad And Quill is beautiful (and expensive!!) but it seems a little bulky.

Also ... what is the best stylus for note-taking in meetings, etc?

Curious if anyone else has had this happen, I have an appointment tomorrow but figured I'd check just to get a heads up. I bought a iPad back in April of 2012, I returned it due to a dead pixel and got AppleCare+ on the iPad at the same time. It appears that they used my original iPad's serial for the AppleCare+ contract. So when I look up my current iPad is shows no coverage. I still have all the paperwork with the original serial number on them but I'm just curious if they are going to honor this or if I'm just hosed and will have to pay the $250 to get a new iPad. I attempted to call apple support but they want $20 just to answer a question.

I'd call back again and try to get to the right department. That fee is supposed to be for "how do I do this" questions after the phone coverage ends. Your issue is a warranty issue and they should absolutely help you figure that out for free.

Can anyone actually get Netflix to stream in HD to their iPad Air? For some reason, my iPad will just never flip to HD, even though if I have my iPhone or laptop in the same room on the same connection, they will begin streaming in HD near instantly. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my iPad or network what, but when every device in my home except my iPad can stream HD netflix just fine, it's a bit odd. Amazon Prime Video HD streams perfectly as well.

Just tested it and it went to HD after 30 seconds or so, so yeah. Might be your connection?

I don't know where to ask this, so I'm going to ask both in this thread, and the AppleTV thrad :shobon:

I've never had an AppleTV before, but am thinking about getting one. My question is two-fold - I've heard that not every app can be streamed via AirPlay. Does anyone know if NFL Sunday Ticket can? And if so can it be AirPlay'd (???) from both an iPhone 5 or the latest generation iPad? What are the things that cannot be streamed? Netflix works fine, I assume? Thanks :)

I'm not a sports fan, so I can't answer your NFL app questions. But if you can use AirPlay on one iOS device, you can definitely use it on another. The built-in Netflix client works just fine.

Do you have a web subscription to NFL content? If you do, one option might be to get a Chromecast and cast a Chrome tab (from your desktop) with the NFL video playing fullscreen.

The Sunday Ticket app only airplays audio. It sucks. The NFL Gamepass app airplays video perfectly, but it's only available for people outside the US or you could use a VPN.

I do. It's through DirecTV. I pay extra on top of the regular NFL Sunday Ticket package to be able to stream it in HD online, and of course iOS has an official Sunday Ticket App for that. The Chromcast thing is actually a pretty cool idea that I hadn't though of. Unfortunately, the reason I was hoping to just go iDevice -> AppleTV is because I didn't want to lug a laptop/desktop places every weekend :saddowns:

Oh well.

What happens if you use the system level AirPlay mirroring? Or does that just not work when an app has disallowed AirPlay as well?

This actually works but you get a really really lovely picture. On my 42" you just get a small screen in the center surrounded by giant black bars. It works if you can't get anything else but certainly not an ideal situation.

Also the Sunday Ticket thing is one stream per login. So if you are logged in on your iPad you can not watch from a web browser or iPhone at the same time.

That's correct. The idea was trying to get away from dragging a laptop or desktop with me to various places when we have Sunday Football parties. I didn't care if an iPhone could do it, or an iPad, just one of them. Too bad neither of them can :(

My dad dropped his 4th gen iPad and managed to smash the glass bezel, near the front facing camera. Now there's a nice jagged hole that's just waiting for someone's thumb to slip in. Does anyone know of a case that covers up the bezel?

A screen protector over that damage can help as a temporary solution so no one cuts themselves.

We're getting a new iPad Air very soon (32GB, Wi-Fi only), and I want to buy a protective cover for it. It'll be carried around with me when I'm on the move, so I'll need something rugged. Are there any decent off-brand versions for it, or is it best to go for the real deal on this thing? Any other recommended accessories for a first-time iPad owner?

Do you really need rugged rugged? Otterbox is the main rugged one, and its nice, but it really, really adds to the size and weight. Even with the Air its kind of killing the purpose of the tablet.
