Official iPad bug report/trouble-shooting thread

**Rene Ritchie** · 04-02-2010, 06:26 PM

Every 1.0 product has its share of bugs and glitches, problems and defects. Have you found one with your iPad? Share them below, and if you think your problem is big enough for its own thread, drop a link here so we can track it and trouble shoot.

I have had a rough day dealing with iTunes 9.1, synching the iPad, having my iPhone 3GS go into restore mode during synch and repeatedly getting an error saying iTunes could not access synch server data and now my restored iPhone is left in factory settings because of the synch problem!
I am trying to reinstall iTunes but it is downloading at a trickle. I feel fortunate that the iPad finally got synched after several attempts.

The iPad is working, though. I am having trouble with the ABC app as is everyone else on Twitter. Is anyone else having trouble with iTunes 9.1?

This may not be a bug, but out 3 pc's 1 a desktop and 2 laptops, one being less than 6 months old none of them is able to charge the iPad via USB. Not happy with that. I'm still not taking back!

You need to use a Higher Power USB Port. On older laptops you may be out of luck. try switching ports on your machine and see if that helps, or maybe using a powered usb hub..

I am using a powered usb hub on a PC with windows 7. No charging, but syncs fine.

Yea I've tried all the ports on my pc's. If anything I would of thought that my sons 6 month old laptop would surely work. But no joy.

Using the same settings as on my iPhone, the iPad is not pulling all my calendar information. It's actually pulling the sub-calendars, but not the main one. I've deleted and re-added the CalDav Yahoo calendar settings a couple times, but with no success.

Screen has red tint.

A few websites I have run across have crashed safari

**mketchum** · 04-06-2010, 11:50 AM

Yesterday I tried to use the iPad outside. It was bright outside. The screen would go dim right away and I could not use it at all. Tried to turn on and off, but it kept happening. It seamed worse in portrait mode. In landscape mode i was eventually able to use it. Anybody else experienced this?

**ifonline** · 04-06-2010, 01:03 PM

No, but have you tried turning off auto-brightness?

**TracyVision** · 04-06-2010, 07:59 PM

Once you've added an event in Calendar you can't change what Calendar it's in. I have the same issue with my phone but didn't expect this limitation from an app they designed from scratch. Am I the only one who uses multiple calendars?! And perhaps not a bug but a CAPS lock feature would be nice.

You have to enable the feature in Settings (under keyboard I think). Once enabled you activate CAPS by double tapping on the shift key.

**ifonline** · 04-07-2010, 05:47 AM

Yep... caps lock exists just like it does on the iPhone, and I too hate that I can't change the calendar an event is assigned to once the event has been entered.

Have you solved? to me something like that happens and I could not fix it.

I have an issue when playing video and trying to bring up the control interface. I sometimes have to tap on the screen repeatedly before it will come up. In some cases I have to tap over and over for twenty ot thirty seconds. Anyone else see this issue?

**bcaslis#IM** · 04-13-2010, 04:28 PM

Anyone seen that you can't turn if off if plugged into AC? Turns off if not plugged in, but will only sleep on AC. If I shut down on AC it turns back on.

Mine keeps forgetting the password to my wireless network. Pretty damn annoying!

**BRiphone** · 04-13-2010, 07:10 PM

Mine is not letting me access my yahoo mail. I was able to yesterday and then today there were issues with me not being able to access my emails or retrieve new emails. I deleted the account in settings and then added an account the same way I did before thinking that would solve the issue. Now I am not able to access any mail, mail contacts or anything from my yahoo account. I know I can just check my mail via Yahoo, but whats the point of having the mail button?! Everything is still working fine on my iPhone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My wife and I had the same problems with our iPhones. I had to put in our MAC Addresses into the router itself and that resolved the problem. Hope this helps.

Problem resolved, it just needed to be restarted. Kinda weird that it worked for a couple of days and then needed to be restarted, but as long as its working I'm a happy camper.

+1

Add me to this list. Anyone else?

I have noticed when adding movies that I have made in Handbrake via itunes, that many times the ipad will then say that no videos are found, even though it still shows them on the pad in itunes. If I delete the most recent movie then they'll show back up. Usually if I then turn off the ipad and restart itunes, I can load the movies normally without problems again. Pretty annoying.

One thing I've noticed though is there is no push support for yahoo on the iPad. Push works great on my iPhone, but no push option on the iPad in the advanced settings for yahoo. Strange.
