I too am beginning to suspect the cable. I’ll put it on santa’s list. There are some weird things going though. it ran down to 30% charge, so I plugged it in and it immediately dropped to 28%. I unplugged it, plugged it back in and it dropped to 27%, but shortly rose to 28%..29%.. etc. It had...

I get where you’re coming from, but this is what I have been doing for past 2-3 years So doubt this is cause. This problem has only manifested itself in last 3 or 4 weeks. In any case, I doubt it would overheat in just 30 minutes. I’m more concerned that problem could be caused by it being in...

I too have been experiencing similar problems when charging. I plug it in, get the ‘beep’ and charging symbol so shut cover to leave it to charge. After 3 or 4 minutes I get another ‘beep’, I open cover, check charging symbol still there so leave it alone again. After 30+ minutes, when I check...

JA, Thanks for that. Looking into it further, it seems tailor made for what we want.

Currently, my wife and I have all our devices associated with one (my) AppleID, and share our purchases. If she sets up her own AppleID, can we still share each others purchases? If so, can someone explain in simple terms how to go about it?

J.A. Many thanks, itunes restore worked a treat. The iPad now thinks it is new, and is now trying to go through the new iPad start-up procedure. Sorted :)

Thanks, I'll give it a try. That is after it has downloaded an upgrade that it needs before it proceeds! 1.3gb upgrade at 1 mb/s, only another 3 hours to wait -aaarggghhh

Ah, good idea, but you need the restriction password before you can do a general reset. Chicken & Egg situation

My wife wants to scrub her old iPad Mini, so she can sell it. I have turned off find my phone, but when I then try to reset the ipad, after inputting the normal password, I am then asked for the restrictions password. As neither of us know what this is ( I think our grandson turned...

Giradman, Mine seems the opposite, as it gets stuck in Portrait mode. Which is a pain, as I generally browse in landscape mode when using safari!

Like the others, my iPad Air 2 (IOS10.2) has also suffered from sticking rotation. It has happened twice in the last fortnight, usually after a longish period of inactivity. A power-off and restart has cured it so far. Is anyone aware if Apple are looking into a cure?

Thanks, that put my mind at rest a bit, it's nice to know I'm not imagining things:) But, it still doesn't explain why my PC works fine, perhaps it may be more an Apple problem, rather than Yahoo. Just hope they sort it soon!

I did try the app as a way round the problem, but I couldn't get on with it, not very user friendly I found. Judging from the problems I'm having with Mail, I might be forced to revert to using the app! EDIT: I now find that Mail is having trouble showing the body of the mail messages that are...

Is it me, or are there problems accessing Yahoo mail, via iPad Mail? I have been having problems receiving mail for the past few days, which prompted my other post regards changing Yahoo password. Following the advice given on that post, I re-installed the yahoo account. After re-installation, I...

Thanks Jupiter7, That explains a lot! I was used to having to change the password on my PC whenever I changed it at Yahoo. Apple seem to have the upper hand in this regard. It also explains why the password no longer appears in iPad settings. Problem solved!
