How is the iPad in B.C. Canada

Hey all,
I am looking into buying an iPad in a year. I live in B.C. near Vancouver I was wondering How the iPad works in remote parts of Canada like williams Lake area places like that. Information on this would be appreciated .
Thanks
Richard

The iPad itself should work fine wherever it is.
I presume you're asking about wireless access. Rogers's coverage map shows coverage in Williams Lake, but how well it actually works there I can't say. I'd suggest you look at the coverage maps for each of the carriers, Bell, Rogers, and Telus, for the areas you're interested in and see whether they offer coverage at all. Things might be very different in a year, though, so if you're not considering buying an iPad for that long, you probably should wait to check into it until sometime next spring.
WiFi will of course work anywhere you can get access to a WiFi base station.
Regards.

  • How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

    How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

    The iPad mini doesn't have the same resolution as the "new iPad".
    iPad 3 & 4 (retina) = 2048x1536 pixels
    iPad 1 & 2 (original) = 1024x768
    iPad mini = 1024x768
    Apple likely didn't put a retina screen in the iPad mini to keep cost down and to have an option to upgrade the iPad mini to a retina screen down the road, in a year or two.  It could be however that the pixel density of 2048x768 at 9" poses a problem for the viewer, in that text and features might be rendered too small or too thin for the average buyer/consumer.

    I currently have a PC with Windows Outlook.  If I add an iPad to the mix, how does the iPad interface with Windows Outlook?

    Isn't Outlook simply an email client or a software application on a computer? You can add an email account - whatever email provider that you use - right on the iPad. You can sync your Outlook contacts and calendar if that is what you are asking about, but Outlook itself has nothing to do with the iPad.

  • Anyone know how come the iPad 2 from Apple HK Online Store still unavailable?

    Anyone know how come the iPad 2 from Apple HK Online Store still unavailable?
    Did Apple offer engrave service purchase from other retail store outside?

    As we are just fellow users, I don't think anybody here will know why they are unavailable (except for demand possibly being higher than supply). In terms of Apple engraving I think you can only get that direct from Apple - whether other stores offer their own engraving service I don't know.

  • Determination of how old the iPad is

    I just bought an iPad. I was wondering if there was anyway to find the date of the first iTunes Sync? Or how to find how old the iPad is?
    I wanted to check if the iPad i have bought has been used before or not? Any other options to find out?

    You purchased a used iPad, or a new iPad in the retail packaging that was not opened?
    If the latter, it hasn't been used.
    If the former, more than likely it has been used and if so, there is no way to determine if the iPad has been used or the date of the first iTunes sync. I believe there is a way to determine when the standard one year warranty expires by entering the iPad's serial number. The warranty begins on the purchase date.

  • How does the iPad provide Random Access Memory?

    Is all the RAM on the chip?  Does it use free space as scratch?  The specs only speak about the CPU for computing power.
    My wife's medical practice is using iPads for Electronic Health Records, and this is a new system transitioning from paper.  It is a cloud based software called Athena, and I suspect that their problems stem from inadequate memory (RAM or possibly even vRAM). They experience freezes and being "kicked out" of forms while entering information which requires them to reenter the information. This is a big drag on time for her staff.
    These problems are less frequent when they use their Windows based laptops, and performance is even better when they use their desktop work stations. I don't know the specs on these computers. However, she experiences no problems when using her Macbook Pro which is a 2007 2.6 core2duo with 4GB of RAM. This is what leads me to the conclusion that it's a memory issue.
    I don't know for sure because I'm getting my info second hand, but I think the iPads have the A7 chip.
    Thanks for any insight you may have on how this works.

    Here's the spec sheet on the iPad Air. It has 1GB RAM.
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ipad/specs/apple-ipad-air-1st-gen-a1474-wi -fi-only-specs.html
    The comparison with a laptop or desktop with 4GB ram is not a fair comparison. All open apps use some of the available RAM. So close the iPad apps that are not being used.
    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
    http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
     Cheers, Tom

  • How is the iPad mini

    I wold like to know how customers like it so id be able to know if i want to go out and get one.

    If your a new user to the iPad world then the mini is a good entry. It's a cool device, ESP if you like the size. I'd go into a store or apple store and see if you like it compared to the iPad 2/4.
    Anil...did you like the size better of the mini? I'm curious because the mini and iPad 2 are almost the same and the iPad 3 is a bigger difference apart from the mini(5x, retnia etc). I was thinking of that, but I thought it would be a downgrade from at least the 3rd.

  • How will the ipad batery and screen like this ???

    hi!
    i plan on using my ipad in the dental surgery i am working in to stand most of the time on a dock.
    while standing on a dock i want it to run movies or slideshows with special offers, before after pictures etc and then i want to take it off the dock several times a day to show the patient his or her pictures i took before to explain findings.
    how would the screen like to run 8 hours a day? would it be bad?
    how would the batteries react to the ipad running 8 hours a day, most of the time on a dock with power supply but several times a day 5-10 min battery powered. would the battery have a new loading cyce every time i put the ipad back on the dock? would this use reduce the battery life of it?

    Most battery suppliers of Nickle-Metal Hydride batteries say leaving them on a charger all the time shortens battery life...but you really have to ask what does that mean with respect to the planned life of the display you are planning. Your own plans for changing to another display approach may make that concern moot.
    Apple provides this information on the iPad batteries:
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
    An important part of that is the recommendation of monthly complete charge cycles: drain the battery all the way, the unit shutsdown automatically at a charge level of 1%, or so. Then recharges on wall power to full charge. You could probably do that with a single days' usage as you have described.
    Since the unit would be constantly changing images, you would not have to worry about anything like display damage from burning pixels like you do with computer monitors.
    Why not get one and try it out and see what the patient reaction is? Sounds like a clever use to me.

  • How can the Ipad leave recovery mode when something happened.

    When the Ipad went to recovery mode and started the recovery and update process to IOS 5.1.1, an error is happened, the code is 21. The Ipad stayed in recovery mode. How can I leave it.

    According to the iTunes specific error codes help site ....
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • How does the iPad 2 rate as a sheet music display?

    Hi,  I am a pianist, and I am looking for something that removes the worry of Sheet music falling off the stand in a rehearsal or concert. I'm considering getting an iPad 2 to address this. I know there are a number of apps out there such as forScore, which allow you to read PDFs of sheet music, but I have no idea how effective they are. I have a friend who was in the same situation as me. He used an original iPad to display his music, but complained that it was nowhere near responsive enough with page turning to work effectively. Is there anyone reading this who is currently using an iPad 2 to read sheet music? If so, which app do you use, is it effective and would you recommend it? Many thanks.

    I'm not a concert muscian. However, I've used my iPad for piano music. It worked fine for me. I believe the app I used is called Etude. However, I don't recall if you can import your own music into that program or not.
    The other issue I can see is that the iPad is, compared to sheet music, rather heavy. It's fine on the music stand of a piano. It would probably be okay on one of the music stands I used to use when I played in an orchestra (they were black metal). I think, though, that it wouldn't be trustworthy on a folding music stand. If sheet music falls to the floor, you just pick it up. If an iPad falls down, it might break.
    Best of luck.

  • How does the ipad mini wifi only know my location when not connected to wifi?

    I thought the wifi only ipad mini does not have a gps chip.  Yesterday however, I was driving around with my wife in the car (no wifi) and the ipad mini was able to keep track of my location on the map I had pre-downloaded.  How is this possible?

    Your WiFI only position is determined by the iPad keeping track of the names and intensity of the various WiFi signals and comparing that to a database of WiFi access points with their locations.

  • How is the iPad different from iPod touch

    Dont really know

    The iPad has a much bigger screen (10 inches) and has optional 3G data service..  The iPad 2 has a faster processor and more memory.

  • How is the iPad processing 5.1 AAC

    Lately I happened to have a video file which has AC3 audio. I tried to change the container from MKV to MP4 with Subler for iTunes and my iPad but it didn't work with my iPad (syncing failed).
    Previously I've always had either AAC stereo only or AC3 Surround + AAC stereo (Dolby Pro Logic II). So I figured that it may have something to do with only having AC3 in my video file.
    Next thing I did was converting the audio line of the video file with Handbrake (along with low settings for the video so it doesn't take too long) to AAC. But not Dolby Pro Logic II or normal Stereo but AAC Surround (6 channels). I've never done that before but after merging the new audio with the H.264 video in Subler syncing with my iPad worked without a flaw.
    But since the iPad can only play stereo through it's speakers / headphone cable (and I know it can push AC3 through the adapter but I am not using this) I am wondering what the iPad is doing with the center channel + surround channels.
    Am I loosing the additional content when I am listening to it with headphones or does the iPad downmix it to stereo?
    And one additional question: Did the syncing really fail because the video file had only AC3 in it?
