As i've said in one of my topics on this forum, restoring your iOS device isn't (UNFORTUNATELY!) as simple and as straight-forward as just plugging in and following the basic instructions. It REALLY rarely works on the first try! In my experience with all my iDevices, restoring has NEVER worked...

I updated my iPad 4 running stock 6.0.1 to 6.1 and i haven't noticed any changes. If you don't want to run into any possible complications, i would suggest that you simply update via Wi-Fi using the OTA (Over The Air) update. Just go to the Settings app and update from there. If you want to do...

Hi I saw this app on a friend's tablet. It was running Android but i've also seen this same exact functionality on an iPad a few months ago. But i don't know the name of the app. Here is how it works: You switch on the iPad and the first thing it shows you is a screen with a square of 9 dots...

Exactly. That's precisely why i posted the entire solution to what helped me get my new iPad 4 working again. I honestly thought that i would have to take it back to the Apple store tomorrow. I just bought my iPad 4 a few weeks ago, so it would not have been a very encouraging beginning with a...

Hi AA OK, i'm trying out the suggestions from your link as i got a bunch of errors ranging from 1601 to 1604 during the restore process. EDIT: It worked! My iPad 4 is now running iOS 6.1. Thank you!! Here is how i solved it: Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in...

Hello, I've been trying since several hours to update my recently bought iPad 4 with stock iOS 6.0.1 and trying to update using iTunes to the latest iOS 6.1. Note that i had already downloaded the OTA update to 6.1 on the iPad but never installed the update. I figured it was best to install...

I get the error that my iPad 4 could not be restored. Error code 1601. :( I've been trying to upgrade from the stock iOS 6.0.1 to the recently released iOS 6.1 via iTunes.

I own an iPad 4 and it doesn't feel any hotter than i would have expected a portable device of that size to be. On top of that, i use a protective leather case (the Tucano folio case Cornice for iPad 3, which fits perfectly on the iPad 4), which is light and thin, and encloses the back and front...

Try the time-tested and best solution to any iOS issues... Power off your iPad and then turn it back on. Note: To power off, just press and hold the power button for about 5-10 seconds. You will then see the option Power Off. If you just press the power button, the iPad will turn off...

I've been doing further testing with AVPlayerHD (currently, the latest version of the app is 1.51) and i think i've nailed down the best settings for maximum compatibility with almost all MKV files. AVPlayerHD had problems decoding some MKV files. It became annoying, but i managed to tide my...

In total, the 4 paid apps described in the first post, cost almost exactly $25. So, if you're planning to spend as little as possible on iTunes, while you wait for iOS 6 JB, then just get an iTunes gift card of $25 (on eBay i was able to grab one for only $21 - but you have to search and have...

Here is the list of must-have paid apps that i've personally tested and after hundreds of hours of peeling through app reviews and testing, i've shrunk the list to the bare essential apps that you would be wise to spend on. Some of you might not agree with paying for apps, since there's such a...

Here's a review of the AVPlayerHD written by myself and i've also gone to great lengths in order to properly explain how to transfer files onto the iPad using USB cable and iTunes. I have to admit that since i've got my new iPad a few weeks ago, i've had huge trouble to find correct and detailed...

Exactly! Retina is just a brand name that Apple uses to market the display on their devices (ipad, ipod, iphone and soon the iTV) but the actual resolution is bested by the recently released Nexus 10. Here are the official specs from Google itself: Nexus 10 Tech Specs - Google And here are some...
