Question from new iPad owner

Just a quick question - just bought a white iPad 2 wifi, I notice on the corners there is a small hair thin opening between the screen and the aluminum. Am I being paranoid / OCD or is this normal? Thanks

I see a similar small difference between the formed aluminum and glass on mine. I've worked it pretty hard for a couple of months with no ill effects and no apparent change in the gap.
the iPad isn't waterproof anyway, so I'm confident that there is no issue with mine. I should also add mine is one of 10 I set up for my company and all were quite similar.
Hope that helps.

2 questions from new mac owner

Hello all,
I've found some good information on these forums and there seems to be a good community here, I'm glad I finally bought a mac. I have two questions:
1- When I copied many digital photographs from dvd's to my hard drive, all of the directories and files are read only. How do I change permissions to many files at once? Right now I am using 'get info' and changing pulldown to read & write. There has to be an easier way.
2- I use photoshop, dreramweaver, flashpro, blender, etc. Since these are demanding graphics programs, what should I do on a regular basis to keep things running at the best possible speed. I've read about setting up a few things to do automatically each month, but haven't found details. I'm an EX-windows user so I'm used to having to defrag, and do reinstalls from time to time, etc. Thank you and hello everybody.

You can use "Get Info" on the enclosing folder and change the permissions on the folder and all enclosed items in one shot. With the "Get Info" panel open, click the little disclosure triangle next to "Details" under "Ownership & Permissions". Select the desired permissions and then click the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.

The only thing you normally have to worry about is keeping a few GB of free space on the boot volume for swap files, etc. Mac OS X maintains its filesystems in such a way as to minimize fragmentation, so defragging is not normally needed.

Basic questions from new iMac owner

What exactly should I buy for Time Machine backups (I have 27 inch iMac with 8 gb memory). Also can I migrate data directly to my iMac from my Dell All-in-One, including Itunes music library? What type of connector best to use?

You should buy an external disk that uses the usb3 interface (assuming your iMac is new). Use the disk first with your Dell. Format it as NTFS if required, put your itunes folder on it, put your documents folder on it, put your pictures folder on it, .....basically get your stuff on the drive.
Move the disk to the mac. Now, copy the iTunes folder in the Music folder. Place everything inside the documents folder inside the iMac's documents folder, put the pictures folder inside your iMac's pictures folder, ...basically move your stuff to the appropreiate iMac folder.
Now start up iTunes and it will see the old library and all will be fine. If any of your album, apps, movie artwork looks weird, simply close iTunes go into the cache folder inside the iTunes folder and delete the old cache files. Restart iTunes and the artwork will look OK.
You can also open iPhoto and import all the photos from your old picture folder.
Finally when you are happy that all your stuff is in the right place. Reformat the drive as hfs journaled, name the drive Backup, and point time machine to it from system preferences. You can format the drive using disk utilitiy which is inside your applications/utility folder.
It's really not that hard to convert. Don't worry about applications you had on the Dell. They won't work. You just need your data files. Data is data so all will be well.
Good luck

I am a new iPad owner. How do I move my email contacts from my gmail on my PC to the iPad??

I am a new iPad owner. How do I move my email contacts from my gmail on my PC to the iPad??

You can't save a PDF directly to the photos app, but if you can open the PDF in the mail app and get the entire PDF to appear on the screen, take a screenshot of it and that will be saved to the photos app camera roll.
Hold down on the sleep button and the home button at the same time briefly until you see the white flash on the screen and hear the shutter sound. That's how to take a screenshot.
You should probably tap and hold down on the PDF in the mail app and select it to open in iBooks or another PDF app that you might have on the iPad.

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

How can I do mirroring of a screen from new iPad to hdtv using apple tv and still work on something else in my ipad

You don't. Mirroring is duplicating your ipad screen on another projector - so you can't have another app going on your iPad without it also showing up on the projected image. Some apps are designed so that you see a different image in the iPad than the mirrored out display, but even then you're within the app itself.

TS1702 My hbo go app from new iPad .. Then after full reformat of device I now can't download hbo go app. What's up

My hbo go app from new iPad .. Then after full reformat of device I now can't download hbo go app. What's up?

Thanks for helping
Hbo go isn't currently installed. It dissapeared from iPad home screens but not from settings. Waited for update. When it finally came I saw hbo icon during update then when it finished the update it dissapeared again.
Saw it in my apps on my computer. Tried to sync it back. No luck.. Reformatted device .. Tried to download hbo go. The install button in the app store won't highlight. I notice max go app won't highlight either. or photon flash browser too. Weird stuff. Does it not work on new iPad ?

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

New iPad Owner with Question About OS Upgrade

I just purchased a new iPad and I am under the impression that I'll be able to upgrade to OS4 when it's released for the iPad this fall. If I take the 3.2.1 upgrade that just came out, will that eliminate my ability to upgrade to OS4 for free when it's released?

What has been added/fixed from the original version 3.2?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1060
Does anyone know if it's worth upgrading?
It was for me on my 3G iPad, where the update did indeed improve the connectivity of the WiFi. Your results may vary. If your iPad isn't having any issues, there is probably no pressing need to upgrade.
I'm hearing some people are having trouble upgrading.
No matter what device, it's always the case that some people have problems with an upgrade. For the iPad, though, the vast majority have had no problems. I upgraded both of my iPads with no issues whatsoever.
Regards.

HT204022 Cannot delete photos from new iPad

When I hit edit and then select the photos, the red delete button does not become active to allow me to delete. Any ideas as to what I should do? I just got the new ipad today and restored it to my old ipad 2 via my MacBook. It's like I don't have permission or something. Can't seem to find a way to delete these photos from my ipad.

Where are the photos you are trying to delete?
If they are in the Camera Roll you should be able to delete them on the iPad.
But if they are in albums that were copied to you iPad by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync but before you click on Sync deselect the albums you no longer want on the iPad. Then click on Apply or Sync.

Printing to a HP Color Laserjet CM4540 MFP from new iPad.

I am trying to print from my new iPad to my HP Color Laserjet CM4540 MFP.
When I try to print the iPad gives me the option to choose my printer. It currently only recognizes one printer- not the CM4540. It recognized the other printer without any problems or setup by myself.
I'm assuming b/c the CM4540 is not supported to print from the iPad this is why I'm having trouble.
Can someone confirm my assumption please? Or- let me know how to connect to the CM4540 to print?
Thanks!!

Anyone else having slow wifi dl speeds from new ipad?

My download speeds on my iphone 4 on wifi are way faster than on my new ipad. Same wifi network, both devices are next to each other. On the iphone 4 download test i get around 1.15Mbps. On my new ipad, .56Mps. Something doesnt seem right and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this slow wifi issue?

for me the fix was to take my network off OpenDNS servers... and back to my ISP's DNS.... and instant fix...
disappointing, as i liked the service from them...
hope this helps finovotny....

Hello Adrianfmartinez,
No. Here is a list of printers that support web services. You may find a third party app that works, but HP will not support it.
