New Smart Case too Big and sharp for iPad

New Smart Case too Big and sharp for iPad
Apple's new Smart Cases for iPad are availabled in a variety of colors, including polyurethane dark gray, light gray, blue, pink, green, and red. Looking like the original one, the new hard shell iPad Smart Case has the automatically sleeps/wakes function and can fold up into a stand. However, it does protect both the back and the front of your iPad device.

I just received my new smart case from the online Apple Store and there are some incompatibility issues. The case is just way too large for the iPad 2 and the edges are too sharp. When I hold my iPad within it, the lip just comes away on the right hand side. It doesn't really protect the tablet in the same way as a wraparound case. And the iPad 3 also has the exact same issue.

How to fix "iPad stuck on updating apps" issues

All iPad apps stuck on updating
There are about 20 apps had updates available on my iPad 2. After I tap on "update all", they are stuck updating and still in "waiting" mode for 3 days now. My tablet has got the latest iOS udate. Try rebooting and logging out/in of the itunes store, but it is not working.

How to fix "iPad stuck on updating apps" issues
* On your Mac or Windows, open itunes software, click "Check for available downloads" from "Store" menu to update. Once download is completed, go to do a syncing with your tablet.
* On WiFi connection, go to setting > WiFi and change DNS to use 8.8.8.8.
* If the above couldn't fix the issue, try the steps. First go to Setting > iCloud, and tap on Bakc up Now button. Delete all unresponsive apps. Tap General > reset, and reset all settings. Then let iCloud restore the device from your backup.

Ask Siri to launch Apps on iPad 3

Ask Siri to launch Apps on iPad 3
iOS 6 bring the intelligent assistant Siri to new iPad 3. Siri provides detailed information about sports, restaurant, and movie from multiple sources, and also launch apps when you ask it. To launch apps with Siri, just say "Launch [the app's name]", "Open ***", "Play ***" command, such as "Launch Facebook", "Launch calendar" or "Open safari", then it will take care of it for you.

I have tried the new feature with iOS 6, but Siri won't launch apps on the tablet. When I ask it to launch Facebook or launch contacts, Siri responds with "it doesn’t look like you have an app named ***" error message. If I say "Siri take a message", it respond correctly.

Hope the next update would fix the issues.

How to change display resolution on New iPad 3

How to change display resolution on New iPad 3
The new iPad 3 has 2048x1536 retina screen resolution. When I browse some favorite website on the talbet, the texts and images are seted to the higher resolution automatically. But the webpage is good at 600x800 or not shown up under HD display. That looks like uncomfortable for me. Some apps also have the same issues. Can you change the display resolution to lower resolution like 1024x768 or turn "resolution independence" technology off.

The resolution on the new iPad is keeping on 2048x1536 all the time. And there is no way to change the resolution. But you can try using zoom in/out feature to improve it.

LTE personal hotspot greyed out on new iPad 3
I have bought new iPad 3 with iOS 5.1 from apple online store. After activated the LTE plan, the "Personal Hotspot" feature was available and everything worked well for a month. Today I note that I could not choose Personal Hotspot option which is greyed out in settings.

How to fix the network issues
* On your tablet, go to Setting > General > network, turn "Personal Hotspot" off and then ON. That should make it available again.
* If it is still not working, go to turn Airplane Mode on and off.
