Suspicious pop-up on iPad 2 Air

I was on Yummly, then a link to a recipe called site water me skinny when, after some time on the site, I got a pop up that looked exactly like a message of error or Apple window.  He said "iPad has been selected to win a $1,000 gift card", with the only available option to click 'OK', I just erased everything off the screen, disconnected Internet and reconnected.  As I am not aware of anyone, including Apple, to give random $1,000 I was wondering if someone is aware of his scam?

Scam for sure.

If you were using Safari reset this way: Safari close completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of Safari until it disappears from the display. Then go to settings > Safari > clear the history and data from the Web site. Then, keep pressed the buttons Home and Wake/Sleep at the same time for about 15 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • iOS10 update; iPad 2 Air not USB load with certified Amazon lightning cable

    iPad 2 Air and iOS 10: been using an Amazon certified cable lighting to load and iTunes connect via the USB port of > 1 year without any problem. Updated to iOS 10, now the certified cable doesn't load a USB port. It always connects to iTunes, but the sign of the battery flashes the fresh green symbol for 1 second then said stops and says 'no charge '. Tried on 2 USBs and 2 PC with the same result. Tried another brand cable via USB and it costs.

    When I plug this cable from Amazon in the wall charger, it will load. Seems to be something with the iOS10 not recognize the USB load now on this certified cable. I didn't call Apple support on that too, they have no idea what's going on. Their answer is to use an Apple cable of course. Any help is appreciated.

    The cable of the Amazon is located here:

    https://www.Amazon.com/DP/B010U3XVMU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

    It seems there is no real solution beyond using another cable. There were a few people with this problem since iOS10 came out, so it's likely Apple changed something in the settings. As they changed it, it's either a mistake which will mysteriously set with the next update or it's going to be permanent.

  • Safari on the old MacBook Air vs iPad 2 Air?

    What have been the experiences of others?

    Using Safari, iPad our Air 2 family runs circles around the 2013 MacBook Air - loading pages almost instantly, scrolling is smooth, multiple tabs are without problems, etc.

    El Capitan could be a culprit.  But basically, I'm writing to see what others have found - and if I should put up with some softness or go on an Odyssey of troubleshooting!

    I have a MacBook Air model of base 2012 (4GB / 128GB) with El Capitan and features Safari extremely well - as you describe for your iPad. I can't help with your not why not but someone here will probably be able to help with that.

  • iPad 2 Air - WiFi but no Internet [BT Smart Hub]

    Since the update to iOS10, last night, my iPad 2 Air will not get an internet connection for my new BT Smart Hub.

    All my other devices (6, 6 s iPhone, laptop, iPad mini, etc.) are all working well.

    Results so far:

    Reset the router

    Restore the iPad as a backup and a new device

    Reset the settings of the network, including the lease

    The hub is certainly taking over the iPad, but it won't give him an internet connection. There is no VPN software that I know on the iPad.

    If I connect the iPad to another device (namely my phone on a hotspot) while the internet works fine.

    Spoke with BT and they said that they see no problem, and as all my other devices work then there must be something wrong with the settings of the iPad. :/

    By clicking on the side of my wireless connection, it seems that the router is not to give information the iPad (i.e. there not IP, subnet, router, DNS, etc info).

    At a total loss about what to do next - it's my main iPad sunk into the wall to control the House so it needs to work!

    Hello. You have enabled an access control on the router? Maybe you need help again to the iPad. Have reset you network settings, settings > general > reset > reset network settings? I guess you can see the network. What happens when you enter the password? Looks like you are having problems connecting to WiFi, no internet.

  • iPad 2 Air (iOS 9.3.5) said 'sharing location' - in messages.

    I noticed on my iPad 2 Air, (iOS 9.3.5) that when the use of messages, it is said

    "You share your location" when I click on "details".

    I never shared my position.

    Also, I "Location services" off. Looked at the settings > iCloud > and find my iPad's market (but greyed out) and "share my location" under ADVANCED is dimmed.

    How to make a gray location on my part so I can switch that off?

    Never shared my position in the first place. Thank you.

  • Send SMS from iPad 2 Air

    I have had my iPad 2 Air since Christmas and still have su text my husband on his Sony z1 of the iPad. It has recently upgraded to a z3 and now I can no longer send text messages him. Why is this? It is impossible because of compatibility issues that he was able to receive the text on his phone. He is the only person I know who doesn't have an iPhone, so I prefer not having to download an application just for texting him, especially since I could text her old phone.

    Sorry for the hike, can anyone shed some light on this?

    On your phone, check the settings > Messages > text Message Forwarding > your iPad 2 Air. Make sure that who is selected. Make sure that your phone is nearby and connected to the same WiFi network as well.

    You can check this as well.

  • My ipad 16Gig air 2 is short-term memory or space. iTunes indicates that on 6gig space on my device is occupied by "others". What are these other?

    My ipad 16Gig air 2 is short-term memory or space. iTunes indicates that on 6gig space on my device is occupied by "others". What are these other?

    Another seems to be a combination of things left behind by failed sync events, private data app which is not recorded elsewhere, and who knows what else. It tends to grow over time. The following steps should decrease. They assume that all the content you want on the device in your lending library for the restoration. If not see recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device first. I would also recommend you copy everything off of the camera, if you have not already.

    1. Backup device.
    2. Restoration as a new device.
    3. Restore the backup that you made earlier.

    Use a backup encrypted if you want to keep passwords, wi - fi settings, history and health web data as appropriate.
