ok so i bought myself another iPad 3g after complaining about how bored i got with the wifi version, i anyone remembers.

now i cud use the iPad as like a HUGE gps in the car. but got no holder in the car yet thou, so it sits on my lap when i drive.

wonder will the iPad screen be effected in any way if it were to experience direct sunlight?

Just tried to update a new iPad. The firmware 3.2.2 update downloaded and was updating the iPad on iTunes when the iPad blacked out (I thought it was on power screen save or something) and itunes popped out a message with an error.

Now, the iPad won't turn on at all. Even when I reset (10 secs on wake/power and home button) or when I do a DFU boot or recovery boot.

Initially iTunes said there was a problem and it said to do a restore. Which I proceeded to do. After a while, there was an error and the iPad is still stuck on the same.

Uninstalled iTunes, reinstalled it again. And now iTunes doesn't detect it on the program, though it does show new hardware on windows and all. And even detects another iPad on the program with another iPad.

From a certain angle, I can sort of make out on the screen the usb cable to plug in for iTunes screen. But it never changes. Other then that, its generally just a black screen.

Help! And thanks in advance.

Hi, just need to confirm. Can I use Malaysian credit card with malaysian CC statement (maybank) address to buy Ipad from Store.apple singapore and sent to my friend at singapore?

Any problem? I try to find the info here, but i cant find any result on how to order from SG applestore. Tq

hmm why are some apps recommended previously at certain websites are no where to be found when im trying to look for it at itune? removed by apple from app store?

i had your problem, call Apple Malaysia, make a transaction over the phone, that's what i did, they guided me through, and i have my ipad now

how to transfer .avi or .mkv video into iPad?

I use airvideo to convert. Or you can use OPlayer HD to upload the video in their native format and watch them on ipad.

thanks a lot guys!^^

how to reset for ipad?wat is DFU?thanks

Hey guys...

I got big problem with my iPad.
I bought it from USA and now I am in Malaysia.

You know where I can send it in for warranty or repair? Malaysia? Singapore? Bought it for like 2 months...

whoa what happen?
malaysia repair i think need $$, singapore i think can claim warranty since singapore now officially sell ipad. i think so...
since mine one is SG set, i ask the seller where i can claim warranty he said singapore which the country officially sell ipad in apple store.

Spore service centres for Apple : You might need to pay a small service fee upfront , a few years back was about S$ 30. Call first and see which can serve you better

Sg will be the nearest location for repair. I believe that the warranty is global. If u want, u can call up applecare sg to confirm.

Well, I also donno what happened. Day before was enjoying it.... I play it none stop, wife play it none stop (new game download, Isabella, The curse of the Witch something...)...
So, yesterday... didn't touch until midnight. After back up and install new games, I tried to check it out. And damn. This thing showed.

I left my iPad at home when I went to work yesterday. My wife didn't touch it but day cleaner came and cleaned the house. Probably they dropped it or knocked it or whatever. No prove of this.
But checking the iPad and casing, no dent no scratch no nothing.
And like my friend says, the fault is too "clean" to be accident.

Thanks.

Will try to ask friend to bring it down to Singapore to check.

looks like drop or maybe got magnet nearby your ipad??

Wow, that is shocking. But I don't see it's possible to become like it without something happen.
It does look like a drop or something.

there is an app which can function like air video but this one is free which is zumo cast.

anyone tried it out?

can i buy apps from a few country's store? and use in the same ipad?

i think yes... i was using some apps bought from Msia and US in same ipod touch and ipad.
(but you need authorize your computer)

@fcchung: DFU mode is "Device Firmware Upgrade".
Here is a link regarding "DFU" mode.
