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.

SOURCE: issues with my Ipad wifi, IPAD wifi not working

According to Apple, the iPad might not automatically rejoin known WiFi networks using third-party routers that are dual-band capable (802.11 b/g and 802.11 n) when each band’s network uses the same name or use different security settings.
Apple’s recommendation? Try creating separate network names for each separate band’s network (ie: add a G to the end of the name of the 802.11 b/g band) and making sure both bands’ networks use the same security settings.

This sounds like a hard ware issue with you wifi antenna. Restore your device using iTunes. If it is still grayed out take it in for service at a local apple store or authorized service provider.

How to empty the trash can on iPad

- there is NO trash can on any iPad.
however you can empty some hidden cache etc. and free space by making a hard shut-off.
To turn off your iPad, first press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top-right corner of your iPad. After a few seconds, the red "slide to power off" slider will appear. Simply swipe it to the right and your iPad will power off.
-wait about 20seconds (until the dim-lighted spinning wheel disappears) and turn it on again

IPad shows blank black screen & won't turn off ~ how do I fix?

Try reseting the iPad by holding the home and power buttons simultaneously until the iPad completely shuts down and the Apple logo appears.


Once the Apple logo appears you can release the buttons. If this does not work, you may need to connect your iPad to your computer and do a factory restore using iTunes.

How do I make the new iPad's battery recharge faster?

There are many things you might be doing wrong but slow battery charge is a problem with the new iPad. The battery is actually a lot bigger than the iPad 2 which means it is going to take you much longer to charge.
Use the provided charger and don't charge from your computer. It is almost twice as slow to do it plugged into a computer. Charge it at night to give it the most time to charge as possible. I usually turn it off so programs don't run and slow down the charging speed. Every little bit helps.
I can help you with other things too if you ask.

What is the specifications of the new iPad HD?

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!
