My credit card was not used and while that seems like a good thing, the hackers obviously used a stolen credited card to purchace the apps through my account which caused Apple to disable my account for fraudulent purchases. In reading the reviews for the Apps, the it seems to be a repeated problem with these apps where illegal purchases are being made through the apps. I do think Apple has an obligation to shut down these apps until they can control the continual fraud that has been happening for over a year with these apps.

I feel as if I've been scammed. I'm not a techy and have no idea how to change or even access settings on this thing. I thought it was supposed to be intuitive! Was told it would work fine. All other devices -PC Mac Book, printers etc work fine. What a ripoff. I’ve spent 5 hours trying to connect my new (today) iPad to my home wi fi. I feel as if I’ve been scammed.

I got my new 64GB iPad yesterday and I’m stuck in the initial setup wizard where I’m supposed to select the network. At first, I didn’t get my network displayed. At that time I could tap on the other networks and be prompted to log in. After restarting my wi-fi router my network shows up (with best possible signal) but now nothing happens when I tap on any network, including my own. I assume that it’s a bug in the software but I don’t have the ability to reboot to get a fresh start it seems, I can’t even take out the battery and do it that way. The “manual” tells me I shouldn’t use the iPad while riding a bike and that I shouldn’t drop it on the ground but there is absolutely no useful information in it. I’m completely stuck. How I wish I’d gotten a Samsung Galaxy instead. I’m so disappointed. :-( Lucky you who can get into the settings.

]]> Comment on Why Flash Is Not Supported on Apple Products (iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch) and the Ways Around It. by Sandy http://appletoolbox.com/2011/03/why-flash-is-not-supported-on-apple-products-ipad-iphone-and-ipod-touch-and-the-ways-around-it/comment-page-1/#comment-30152 Sandy Wed, 09 May 2012 03:35:20 +0000 http://appletoolbox.com/?p=1287#comment-30152 We have iPad2, the New iPad, and and Acer Android tablet all of which work well or me. I enjoy the greater variety of apps on Apple products but appreciate the ability of Android to use Flash and to be ble to provide some publication through Amazon and Kindle that Apple doesn't have. So in my mind both devices are good if used the way they were intended. I use the Android for more of my own personal stuff. The iPads are used by our three autistic sons because they have apps that help,them learn and communicate better. I also play certain games on the iPad that I can't get on Android. I bought an Android partly because my husband wanted to be ble to watch Flash videos on a pad. I might check out the Skyfire app and see how it does. My word is get the device that best supports your needs. We have iPad2, the New iPad, and and Acer Android tablet all of which work well or me.
