About the ipad2
I have a problem with my ipad2 when I try to sign in the iMessages. When I finish typing my ID and password, it showed "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I try many times, and my network is working well, I can connect to the website. This issue also happen in my facetime sign in. Is there any problem with my ipad2 or my ID?
Yes Yes and Yes.

Another question about the IPad2
I was planning to ask for an IPad2 for Christmas. Right now I read only on my Kindle. Can I read my kindle books on the IPad2? And is there a Kindle AP for the IPad2. Can I download my Kindle books right to the IPad2?
I'm not very computer or "tablet" savy. But I think if I can get my Kindle books on the IPad2 and also be connected to the internet and read email wherever I go would be great.
All answers are much appreciatedYes Yes and Yes.

Like many people, Ive been hemming and hawing over whether to go with an iPad2 or an Android device. Ive read the reviews, watched the product demos, and analyzed what each device can and cannot do. Im not an Apple "guy" per say but Im not a PC-die hard either. I have a crappy Trac-fone so I dont have any bias for or against other Android or Apple mobile devices. I just like products that work and I dont get too caught up in any fanboy-ism stuff
I just noticed that the Apple store is listing the iPad2 "now with iOS5 & cloud". Thats great news, IMO. If there were any issues I was worried about with the iPad2, it was that pesky iTunes app and the fact that I do NOT want to deal with it. I know there are some apps to handle file transfers and what not but its good to see Cloud being there in the iPad2.
Of course, I have the usual concerns with the iPad2 that some others have...like:
Lack of flash and not being able to fully enjoy some of my web pages
The proprietary nature of Apples products and file handling(walled garden concept)
Hatred of iTunes(although that can be addressed with some 3rd party apps from what Im reading)
The mono speaker is kind of lame.
Other than that - I dont see many problems! Our intended uses of the iPad2 will be:
Portable device for multimedia & gaming
Managing photos & media
Magzine subcriptions & delivery
Some e-reading/books
Kids to use for homework, research, and stuff like that.
Verious other tasks we used to try and do with our laptops but they are simply too heavy and have lousy battery performance!
Well, Im just about ready to order. Looking forward to chatting about the iPad2 with everyone!Very nice. I hope you enjoy it. But be aware that this is a technical support forum, not a chatroom.

Negative points about the ipad 2.
Hi, i have the ipad 1 and i just wanna know what are the negative things about the new ipad 2 because im not sure if i should upgrade mine or not. Thanks
Wait a while until the infamous light bleeding issue gets addressed or solved. But if comparing to the old ipad, there are no negativ pts about the ipad2.

I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?
On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

Hi! My name is Nazım . I live in North Cyprus. I’ve got Apple Ipad 2 and Iphone 4. My ıpad2 is iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G: Serial number: DQTFFVC1DFJ3., IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), model MC775LL .my itunes is last version. I bought my ipad from America.
I’ve recently bought Philips DC390 from Apple Store in Oxford Street. Althouh Philips dock 1 seemed to work properly (charged and player). The second dock isnot compatible with my ipad2. It didn’t work(play),It charges though.
I sended e-mailed to Philips.uk for assistance. They recomend met o reset my ipad2 to see if this clears any issue, but it does indicate a fault with the unit. It didn’t work either.s(everal time Ireset my Ipad2)
In addition to this, I contacted Apple support.UK on 22nd December 2011-12-23. I informed about the problem was likely to be with the apparatur.However I tried my father’s Ipad2 last night.software is the same my Ipad2’s IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), to my surprise it worked properly. I’ve already reset my ipad2 several times but it didn’work.
I would be grateful if you could make me some recommendations to sort out the refered my problem.Hi Nazim

How can I play ABSOLUTELY LOSSLESS video on the iPad2?
Hi everyone!
I'm creating some test videos for a project I'm working on. I have a sequence of png test images that are 1024x768. I would like to have these images play back on the iPad2 as a video. The catch is that there needs to be absolutely zero mathematical loss in the final video - each frame should be an exact representation of the associated png image. This is not an aesthetic requirement, it's a scientific requirement. I'm doing a study on pixels. Any suggestions?
I've been using the free version of FileApp to load videos onto the iPad and play them through that app. I've been encoding my lossless video into Quicktime in AfterEffects using a variety of codecs, including Animation and PNG, both of which playback on my PC perfectly lossless-ey, but when I try to play them back on the iPad2 they don't play back at all. Some other codecs like the H264 or Jpeg get very close, but there are losses in the final version.
I'm not concerned with file size... I have the 64Gb version and I'm willing to use all of that for this project.
Any suggestions for video playback apps? Preferably free so I can test this lossless requirement without wasting some money first.
Any suggestions for encoders and codec settings?Well, if you are not concerned about file size, then you can just encode the videos as APNG and then play the videos with https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apng/id447928057. All you need to do is put the xyz.apng file on a webserver somewhere and then copy and paste the URL into the bar at the top of the APNG app. The file will then be downloaded and played. Just be aware that a full screen iPad size video is massive and it will tax the IO subsystem to the limit, so the max framerate you will be able to get on an iPad2 will be about 20FPS. In case this was not clear, APNG is basically the same as a series of PNG images, it is completely lossless.

After upgrade the ipad2 to ios 5, my pages files in my ipad is missing? How can get back?

I don't really understand your comment about "sing of tubes in RED which is wired". But if you are referring to the display of iTunes and the USB port that is an indication that you must restore your iPhone by connecting it to your computer via USB and then using iTunes on the computer to restore it. -
Can you upload/use Microsoft office on the Ipad2?
Can you upload/use Microsoft office on the Ipad2? I'm looking at buying one for uni but need to do assignments and submit them.. how much like a computer is an ipad in this regard?
Can you update/edit documents in Microsoft word etc on the Ipad2?gyrhead mentione OnLive and I find this is the best solution. Im thinking about paying the monthly fee for it becuase its that good. Although gyrhead is correct about the virtual keyboard, I find that using a bluetooth keyboard works great. I use CloudOn also but find that its not a "full" version of Office...well at least Excel. You cant create Pivot Tables and other things.

When you turn on the ipad2 it does not start up properly. The rotating disk that happens when you turn off the ipad appears after the apple logo comes up during start-up and stays there for ten minutes. Then, the ipad will start up properly.
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

What's the button for on the right side of the ipad2 over the volume button?
I have found a button over the volume button on the upper right hand side of the ipad2. Where I push up on down a bell appears. What is this for? How does it work. Thank you for your patience.

How much RAM does the iPad2 have?
I looked at the tech specs and other documentation I could find, however I don't see anything that states the amount of RAM the iPad2 will have. There didn't seem to be any mention of that in the Apple presentation either. Does anyone know where I could find this information?
RAM is not irrelevant.
If you had used an iPad at all you could not have failed to notice how Safari frequently needs to re-load web-pages when switching between them, as they are unloaded when the iPad runs short of RAM.
This is particularly annoying when using forums for instance, as you start writing a reply, switch to another page to copy some info, switch back and the forum page has to reload losing what you had already typed.
Also, on long image heavy web-pages, you must've noticed the big blank areas where the iPad has had to unload previously viewed parts of a web-page when scrolling.
Also, when using the multi-tasking feature of iOS, when the iPad runs short of RAM apps are dumped from memory meaning they are not as quick to re-load when you switch back to them.
More RAM would help alleviate all of these issues.
The relatively small amount of RAM and frequent web page reloading would be my only complaint about the first iPad. -
the ipad2's wifi bad?Why it can be connected to the router, but the safari will appear (can not join the server)? ?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
