After flawless operation since getting my iPad 2 on launch day I am now having some issues.
1. Wi-Fi will randomly drop out.
2. This causes the touch recognition to be unresponsive. Home button, power, volume buttons all fine.
3. Occasionally the iPad will then act like it is possessed and will randomly perform touch related operations.
4. This requires a reset, turning Wi-Fi Off and back on to recognize the network.
5. A few times the Wi-Fi has "Grayed Out" and requires a rest of network settings to restore it.
6. Also will cause the time on the iPad to become out of sync.
I have tried doing a restore with and without using a backup file. The wireless router apperas to be functioning fine and is used by a Laptop, two iPhones, and a DS with no issues at all. The iPad had no issues for weeks either.
Funny thing is that is seems to be happening only in the evening time. My wife uses it during the day while I am at work and she has had no problems.
What are my options here? If I can fix this that is the best thing, but if not I purchased it at Best Buy WITHOUT a protection plan. Do I need to return it to Best Buy or take it to an Apple Store (An hour and a half away)

I absolutely love those white MacBook. Didn't know they supported 8GB of RAM. I might've bought one of those if I knew.

And you really expect someone here is going to answer that for you? :rolleyes:
Of course not. I wasn't expecting a serious answer, just like I'm sure theprizefight wasn't really expecting a serious answer to his "Where the hell is iLife 07?" question either.

I haven't used it and I think it's commercial.
Also, at one time there were some limitations on the map info displayed for Israel. Don't know if these limitations still apply.

A friend of mine just got her brand new iBook 900. The problem is, the cd seems to malfunction. It ejects just fine if there is no cd inside, but with a cd pressing the eject button makes it choke, trying over and over again to do the eject procedure but without managing to open it.
If you have an iBook, try this to get an illustration of the problem: Put your finger over the cd tray door holding it shut. Then press eject. The computer will try to eject again and again with a clicking sound.
She finally managed to dig in her fingernails and forcibly open it. That worked. Repeating the experiment apparently yielded the same results.
Anyone experienced this? Before I get her computer shipped away to be fixed, I wanted to get some opinions here to see if it maybe could be easily mended.

I am at flatirons now. I say there are about 20-30 in line. I heard that there were about 200 non reservation iPhones apparently. Dunno the validity but that is what I have heard

Here are a couple of apps you might want to try,
http://jbullfrog.com/froglog/?p=104
This will put Copy Path in your Services menu.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/copypathfinderbutton.html
This will let you put an icon at the top of Finder.
Being new to using a Mac you may not have discovered the Service menu and and all the things it will allow you to easily do. You can find it under the Apps menu, next to the Apple menu and at the bottom of the Right click context menu. It will change according to what is available for that app. The default Services will get you started but you can add more by using the Services Preferences under the Apps menu or by going to �System preference� > �Keyboard� > �Keyboard shortcut� > �Services�
If you already know about Services maybe some one else will find it handy

15 al pbook......i just upgraded to 1.5 gb from 512.....im running off my external now which is pretty zippy.....syst prefs icon loads on clikc (i think the drive speed is 7200rpm though) and before on the internal it was like 2bounces and a half....i think the new internal drive is a 5400....so it should be fairly faster then what it is now
I've heard that the difference between 4200 and 5400 is MUCH more noticeable than 5400 to 7200, so nice job.
My girlfriend's PowerBook from the latest generation (5400 RPM hd) loads things noticeably faster than my iBook.

Here's the problem. My sister-in-law and I both got iPad's yesterday (first gen). Both on 4.2.1
I activated my iPad on her iTunes and then promptly jailbroke it with Greenpois0n RC6 (which went flawless). Well, I didn't know this would associate my AppStore with her account and require her password when I download apps (duh, should've known better being an iPhone user or nearly 4 years now).
I came home and was just going to restore and do it all over again. Well I went to restore but I thankfully noticed before confirming the restore that it said it would restore AND update it to the newest firmware. I assume this means this would update me to 4.3, which I don't want for jailbreak purposes.
Is my assumption correct? If so, how can I restore and stay with 4.2.1? IIRC I can download the 4.2.1 ipsw from the interw3bz and somehow drag it into iTunes but I can't quite recall how to do that and can't find any good directions on doing so. Help? :confused:
