twerppoet, Well tried that and no joy. When I went back to Features to re sign in the first pop up was the pox. Had to close it to sign in with correct popup. I also have gone to safari and cleared cookies and history (trying anything). Interesting I type the pox title (api.app.theweek.com:80 )into my PC browser I get the same log in page so may not be an apple issue. Think the Zamboi company the Week lady asked about my be their publisher and the app set up for people who buy mag from them rather than paper copy subscribers. Will keep at it.

All right. I can't think of anything else.

Good luck.

I don't see that you have tried this one.


Settings/General/Reset/Reset All Settings.

It's a bit of a blunt instrument, but when all else has failed...

Sorry if its already been tried. This one is a doozy.

Kevin, that sounds like a pretty scary approach. Like chopping off your arm because it has a cut! I'd hate to brick the pad in the process. Have to think about it.

I've never heard of anyone bricking an iPad by doing that.....and we have over a quarter of a million members here.

It sounds worth trying, if other options that have been mentioned do not work. Resetting All Settings resets all your preferences and settings (that with a little effort can be reconstructed) but still retains all your contacts and calendar info and all your media such as songs and videos. Certainly not as drastic as the "final" step of erasing all contents and settings to bring your iPad back into a "factory fresh" status.

Super Gabriel, Thanks for the input, maybe I'm gun shy because i bricked my iphone 4 on an ios software update a couple years ago and needed apple to bail me out. If I do a total reset and restore I'd think the 'virus' would tag along with the restored software. I'm hoping:1. The Week solves the problem or someone here has the same problem (27 one star reviews for the Week since the update because it doesn't load) and will have found a solution. I'll keep this approach in mind however if nothing else solves it.

I am using the cloud for backup on this rather than itunes which I do use for my phone.

Andrew, thanks for the clarification.

Kevin, I should not have been so trepidatious! After the Week replied with a suggested 'fix' to my problem (basically remove program and reboot) which didn't work, I decided to do your suggestion. Seems to have worked great and with Gmail and my Apps all on the cloud I was able to restore to original condition quickly (without the pox). Very grateful for your suggestion and I advise all to NOT download The Week until they have a revision. 27 others have indicated issues on the ipad version so it is not just me!
