Can I move to New iPad w/o a computer?
I've got an iPad 2 and am considering moving to the new iPad.
I no longer own my Mac desktop but want to transfer all my stuff to new iPad.
Can it be done ccomputer free? Do I have to borrow or buy a computer to accomplish this?
I wish the iPad were truely an independent device.
Thanks.

Starting from scratch, you most certainly can. My new iPad has never been plugged into my MacBookPro, at all. Potentially, there are some troubleshooting activities that would require a computer, but for routine operation, as of iOS 5, you don't need to. It would be wise to take advantage of iCloud or a similar service for backup and file storage and to help facilitate moving files. An app like drop copy would also help.
I do have to add the caveat that I do not keep a lot of files on my iPad, and little app data that can't be replicated, so,starting from scratch on the set up was not a big deal (in fact, it helps me clear out a lot of useless apps and othe content I didn't need ). I also have iTunes match which makes getting non iTunes purchased music on the iPad much easier.

how can I get my new ipad 4 to read my compact flash cards? If not, can I download the images directly from my camera?
Tom, thanks for your quick reply. I'm a commerical photographer using Canon 5D mk2's mostly and have in the past just downloaded images to a mac book for backup. I really liked the compact size of the Ipad and just got the retina model with the camera connection kit and seem to be hearing that CF readers can't be used with it b/c they draw too much power. Seems like I remember reading I could use a cord that might have come with my cameras to download directly to the Ipad. I haven't tried it yet as I can't find the connection but then you just said it can't be done?
I'm COMPLETLY lost as to your "first pluging in a flash drive to my computer, advice. Do you mean Ipad when you say computer? "then put your movie/photo files into the folder." HOW????????
Then plug it into the Ipad?????? TOTALLY lost.
Also your saying just "do a google search for a reader doesn't work b/c NONE are able to work with the newer Ipads b/c they use TOO much power or so everyone says everyone that have tried.
Hope you can help a little more b/c I'm really getting frustrated with all the conflicting advice!
Thanks, Dennis [email protected] -

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Macbook says no update available.
" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content. -

my itunes can't see my new ipad ..did everything what day said on the apple web and still nothing ..help.....
What is "everything"?
First, be sure you are using the most recent version of iTunes.
Use a different cable and USB port.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. -
How to load a Numbers folder on my iMac to iCloud so it can sync with my new iPad
How to load a Numbers folder on my iMac (os x Yosemite v 10.10.2) to iCloud so it can sync with my new iPad (8.2)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Numbers installed on your iPad, first go to System Preferences -> iCloud, and make sure that iCloud Drive is enabled.
If so, open a Finder window and choose iCloud Drive in the left sidebar, so you will see a Numbers folder. Just open it and put your Numbers documents there, so they will be synced between your iMac and your iPad (providing that you already have Numbers on your Mac). -
I can't get my new iPad to record a video I see the video right above camera but it is not active yet I can't touch it to activate it.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Can I use my new IPad while it is charging
Can I use my New IPad while it is charging?
You can use the iPad while it's charging, however, it will take longer to fully charge.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can i switch to new ipad at apple store?
Hi all, i am using 2nd generation ipad. I was wondering if i can replace with the new ipad at apple store by paying a little money.
Any ideas?No. Apple doesn't take tradeins.
It is better to sell it yourself and use the money raised that way to get the new iPad.
