can i text using my ipad 2 as i do on my iphone

Unless you want that iPad permanently linked to your Apple ID, you really can't do what you're wanting to do.
if it's staying 'in the family' so to speak, then sure, set it up as new and keep using your old one. Your new one, if set up from the backup of the old one, will be a clone from the date of set up....so if you set it up now and gift it in December they will be different because all that you do on the 2 will not be reflected on the Air.

Can you text using an iPad?

can you text using an iPad??

You cannot send SMS texts like those sent on cell phones. But you can send messages via iMessage to other iOS devices. These are like text messages but since they work within the iOS of the device they are limited to only devices using iOS as the operating system. The one exception, I believe, is that you can also message computers running recents version of OSX.

I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,

I can no longer use my iPad 3 since downloading IOS 7. I can't access the internet, can't get into the app store, or itunes. Can't download anything or receive or send e-mails. Not happy. Wish I had waited.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

This issue is with Netflix upgrade. I spoke to Netflix and here is the solution. Remove Netflix app from Ipad and reload the app version 5.0.1. This updated version will correct the problem.

After the upgrade to ios5, I can no longer use my iPad to make purchases on ticketmaster. Does anyone have a solution?

After the upgrade to ios5, I can no longer use my iPad to make purchases on ticketmaster. Does anyone have a solution?

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

What can't I use my iPad in another house with the same internet service as mine

Why can't I use my iPad in another location that has same internet service. Comcast. As me

Presumably, if that house was a wifi network, and you know the wifi networks password so you can connect, you can use it. Does the homeowner have a secured network? Have you asked them for the password to connect?

Why can't I use the iPad as my smartphone?

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone? Ipad is doing everything what a smartphone does, except the calling facilities. Since IPad can connect to the Internet(WiFi), and via VOIP services like skype or yahoo, we can very well connect to any mobile or landline phone. So what I'm asking is, Ipad can very well provide some User interface as phone does and internally it can use the VOIP to connect to phones. Share your views.

My basic question is,why can't I use the IPad as my smartphone?
You can as long as you don't want to make calls over a mobile phone network as the iPad doesn't have the hardware to make calls that way.
At least we'll be able to recognise you on a call:

Can Aperture be used with iPad?

can Aperture be used with iPad?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Aperture is available for Macs, but not iPads. However, you can use iPhoto for iPad > https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id497786065?mt=8

If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well?

If I purchase an app for iphone can that be used for ipad as well? or viceversa..? If yes, can I retrieve the same app when I purchase a new iphone (ofcourse I maintain the same app id) free of cost?

Some can, some cannot. Most iPhone apps can be used on an iPad (though not all), but the reverse is true less often. Check the specifications and system requirements for the app you're interested in. You can easily add the app, presuming it's compatible, of course, to any new iPhone without additional charge either by synching it from iTunes or by downloading the app again from the iTunes Store.
Regards.

May be some 3rd party adapters for less $. You need to Google search.
