Can I use my iPad when it is charging
Can I use my iPad when it is charging without hurting the battery?
Sure, but it won't charge as fast.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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

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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?
Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?
Andy, I'd like to know where you got that information, [citation/source needed]
Whenver you see the plug symbol on the iPhone, it means its running on external power.
Some datacenters use this method/always-on UPS, (AC power charges the battery bank, datacenter is connected to the other end of the battery) If there is any interruption in mainline power, the system stays up while the generator warms up.
Do they have any battery degradation issues? Nope.
Apple designed the iPhone to handle multiple methods of charging and discharging events.
Remember, when new on the forums, whenever/wherever you post, people are trusting the information you provide, if its inaccurate, out-of-date, etc, you might want to do some research and learning about new technology. -

Yes, but that will slow down the charging since you are using energy at the same time.

I am in the UK. Can I use the iPad Mini when on holiday in Sri Lanka?
Sure. Wifi is wifi the world over, so you can use any free wifi you can find at hotels, restaurants, and so forth.
If you have a wifi+cellular iPad mini, you can use a SIM card from a local carrier if there is one there that offers iPad data plans. -
When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

i can't use my ipad because of thi error:"ipad not backed up,this ipad hasn't backed up.backups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked,and connected to Wi-Fi." what i am suppose to do?
Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches. -

Try this first - 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.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

A box saying iCloud Backup 'This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks.Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi' - this box will not go away and so I can't use the iPad at all?
press and hold top power button and home button in front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple, for it to reset.
and make sure your initiating an icloud backup or it will come up again.
1. be connected to wi fi
2. be plugged in to power source
3. turn screen off
go to settings>icloud>storage and backup>backup now. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password. The old email address is still on the iPad. Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away. Thanks for any help!
This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

Yes, No problem at all.
Want to give one to wife.do I need to open a new iTunes account for her?
No - you can share the same iTunes account (my wife and I share the same account). But when you sync the iPads, just remember to select the correct content for her iPad and the correct content for your iPad. -

When you turn on your iDevice for the first time just sign in with the same Apple ID and you can download any apps you have purchased in the past! There shouldn't be a limit to how many devices you can use.

Can You Use an iPad With a G5?
My mother in law just got an iPad, but has been unable to set it up with her G5 PowerMac. When she first connected the iPad, it told her that her iTunes was too old, so she updated that. Then it said the just-updated iTunes would not run with her OS (10.4.x). That's where we got stuck. Her Mac was never upgraded past 10.4, we don't have a 10.5 installation disc, and I can't install 10.6 or later on a G5. And I don't know how to downgrade iTunes, or even if that would work. I also don't understand why it would let her ugrade to a version of iTunes that won't run on her OS.
Since Apple no longer sells 10.5, does that mean she can't use her iPad without getting a new machine? The whole point of getting the iPad is so she wouldn't have to update her computer any time soon.Doubtful. There really isn't an input method available that would work in the scenario.
