I just answered this for someone else. You can see how to improve your battery life here.Since I'm nice I will post here too.

• Turn down screen brightness
• Don't play graphics heavy games
• Turn off location services
• Quit applications you are not using
• Turn off push notifications
• Set email to manual update
• Don't use 4G internet connection if possible

Here are things that help.

• Turn down screen brightness
• Don't play graphics heavy games
• Turn off location services
• Quit applications you are not using
• Turn off push notifications
• Set email to manual update
• Don't use 4G internet connection if possible

For charging do these things.

• Use charger that came with the new iPad
• Don't charge with USB outlet on computer always plug into a wall
• Quit applications you are not using

There is no way to edit the screen ratio on the new iPad or any iPad for that matter. They went with 4:3 because the majority of users use the device to browse the internet and read e-magazines or e-books on it. As you know the screen gets cut off when you go to fullscreen or it has those annoying black bars above and below.If you're looking to watch video do it on a computer or your TV. The new iPad isn't made for heavy video watching IMO.

You don't say which iPad, but if it is the newest one, it is said that it will will run up to 10 degrees warmer that the older ones. It should be nothing to worry about as long as you aren't using it is direct sunlight. One thing you can do that should help is to open up the multitasking bar (the app bar that shows all the apps open) and close some of them. It also should be covered by the warranty. If it get so hot that it can burn your skin, I would bring it back to store for replacement, but you should be ok. Don't be surprised if this is fixed by a future patch just like the iPhone 4s battery issue was fixed. Also, if it burns out and it obviously not your fault, it is covered under the warranty.

There is a list of apps on the following sites:http://www.slashgear.com/new-ipad-hot-five-retina-apps-countdown-28220443/ http://asia.cnet.com/top-retina-display-ready-games-for-your-new-ipad-62214026.htm http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2401856,00.asp http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/15/retina-ready-ipad-apps/

Hi Steven,You can access the new iPad's specifications on the official Apple website. The specs on the new iPad (or iPad HD) can be found by clicking here.In terms of weight, you are correct-- the new iPad is just over 1/10th of a pound heavier than the iPad 2. Usually devices get lighter as they get deeper into the development cycle, but this was a decision Apple probably made in order to fit their bigger battery into the device (which was needed because of the new Retina Display-- a beauty, but a battery hog).How you felt the 1/10th of a pound difference I don't think I'll ever know. Either way, good call!

Hi Yoav,Thank you for using FixYa. Here are a couple ways I have utilized that have cooled down the iPad by a few degrees and made it much more comfortable to use:

• Turn down your screen brightness. This is the best way for you to avoid heating issues. Your new iPad probably came out of the box with brightness turned all the way up. If you turn that down you will notice a decrease in heat immediately.
• Use Wi-Fi instead of 4G LTE whenever possible. Now obviously you can't do this everywhere, but whenever possible you should access the internet via Wi-Fi and avoid riding your 4G LTE chip. That baby is power hungry and will heat up quick.
• Give your A5X chip a break. In less technical terms, try not to play graphics heavy games (like Infinity Blade) for an extended period of time. Like you said in your question, that's when you experience the most heat discomfort. If it is at all possible for you to take even a short break (like 10 minutes every hour) from gaming, it should do a lot to keep the heat down.

I hope that helps you out!

Hi Jessica,Much to your chagrin I bet, there's not too many options besides "play it less" if you want to cool your new iPad down. If the heat is an issue for you now it is probably going to continue to be an issue for you later.Having said that, there are a couple ways I have used that seems to cool down the iPad by a few degrees:

• Turn down your screen brightness. This is the best way for you to avoid heating issues. Your new iPad probably came out of the box with brightness turned all the way up. If you turn that down you will notice a decrease in heat immediately.

Question moved to iPad category. The internal battery is Lithium ion and they only have a certain number of charge and discharge cycles. It is a lot but if it is longer than 3 years, it is starting to fail. You can take to the Apple store or even the pop up phone kiosks in malls to have it replaced. Do you realise you have advertised your email address to our annual 11 MILLION visitors. Fixya Experts don't do email replies, but the spammers and marketers might! https://www.google.com/search?q=ipad+battery+draining+fast ..

on idevice like the iphone and iPad?well it depend on what IOS version you are on. If you are using anything before IOS 7 the way to attach photos is kinda backwards.you don't actually attach photos but you choose the photos you want to send in an email. anything below IOS 71)Tap on the PHOTO app and Go into you photos.2)Choose the photos. You can send one or more. If you are in your photos you should have an icon on the top right (its the last icon, a picture of an arrow going out of a square). Once you hit that icon you are able to mark your photos to send . Each photos you choose will have a check mark on it.3)Once you have all the photos marked hit the "SHARE" icon on the top left of the screen. From there you can email or message those marked photos. Once you tap on the email, your email app will open up with each one of the photos attached to the body.IOS 7 method If you are looking at an individual photo from your PHOTO app, you can tap on the share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up) at the bottom left to bring your email and text share optionsSometimes when you go into your photos app it will bring up in yearly view... in that case1)Tap on the PHOTO app and Go into you photos.2)Choose your photos. If your app opens in "YEARS" view tap on the photos to zoom into "COLLECTIONS" view. From there tap on the collection where the photo you want to send is located. That would bring you to "MOMENTS" view. With IOS 7 the photos apps arrange your photos by YEARS>>COLLECTION>>MOMENTS. In MOMENTS view you can tap on the "SELECT" on the top right which will allow you to choose the photos you want to send in an email.3)After you choose a photo(s) the icon on the bottom left (one with an arrow pointing up from a square - this is called the share icon) is available to tap. If you hit that you'll get all the option as to how to share those photos including facebook and twitter

I'm certainly not a gamer, but in this case try restarting the iPhone. If that doesn't help remove the app and do a fresh re-install from the app store. In-App purchases can be restored. I'm not sure if you retain your game status - again i'm not a gamer.

Open app and follow instructions. Pretty simple setup. Oh and plug in echo/Alexa too.

if your iPad is not the first generation and has a camera built in, then the camera app cannot be deleted as it belongs to one of the core apps of the iOS system. I think it was only moved to a folder and cannot be seen now anymore.....- so check with spotlight where this app is hidden. http://www.imore.com/how-to-access-use-spotlight-seach-iphone-ipad

Hey! sorry but you will need to enter that appleID password to reactive the iPad. If you still have the original receipt you can call apple and have them start the recovery process.

Swipe up from bottom of screen, select airdrop, off.

Ponder it for an hour or two, then make yourself a bowl of ice cream. Works for me.
