Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer

Can you use an iPad 2 if you don't have a computer?  How can you update to OS 5?  I want to get one for my mom but she doesn't have a computer of any type.  Can I set it up on mine (I already have an account, an ipod and ipad2)  and then give to her to use?  Can't find any info on this.  Do I have to set up an Itunes account for her on my computer initially?  Will she then be able to update via wi-fi???  Thanks

To update to iOS 5 you need to do it thru iTunes on a computer. Once updated, thought, you can subsequently keep it up to date without a computer, thru Wi-Fi.
Yes, you can use an iPad without a computer, but all things normally synced to the computer will have no backup (photos, videos, etc). If you set up a Wi-Fi network for your mom, she should be able to get a lot of use from it.
Be careful about setting it up with your Apple ID, though. Once it is set up with your Apple ID it is tied to your creit card. Any future purchases (apps, books, etc) will always go thru your account.

    I just bought a new iPad and I want to bring over all my apps from my first iPad but I don't have a computer, do I just set up an icloud account and upload all the things from my first iPad and then connect the new iPad to the icloud using the same account and sync it?

    No. You configure your new one to use the same Apple ID. Then re-download from iTunes:

  • Can I disable my ipad if I don't have it in my possession

    Can I disable my ipad if I do not have it in my possession?? It is currently in the possession of someone who is trying to read all my imessages and emails. none of which were synced with my ipad until he figured out the passcode. And no I have nothing to hide, it is my ex and has no right to be reading my conversations with anyone
    Thank you

    If you enabled Find My iPad on it, then yes, you can lock or erase it.
    Go to Apple ID.
    Change the password for your Apple ID, in case they have figured that out too.
    Sign in to iCloud and use the Find My iPhone interface to disable it.
    As soon as it is connected to the internet, it will lock and will stay that way until you unlock it with your Apple ID. If you choose to erase it, then obviously it will remote wipe.
    At that point, it is useless to anyone who does not know the password you reset earlier.

  • HT4157 I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  I just got an iPad.  Do I need to set up a separate data plan, or can I use my iPad under the plan I have set up for my iPhone?

    I just got an iPad, and am trying to figure out how to get it going.  I have an iPhone with a data plan through AT&T.  Do I need to set up a separate account for the iPad, or can I use it under my existing data plan?

    You need a completely different data plan for your iPad which you set up on the device itself and it is billed to a credit/debit card. You cannot share other plans and the iPad account will not appear on your iPhone or any other AT&T account.

  • HT204088 Why can't I look at billing information on my iPad ? I don't have a computer ?

    Why can't I look at my billing information on my iPad?

    I don't really understand what you are asking.  There is no iTunes Player.  iTunes on your computer is not the same as iTunes on your iPad/iPhone/iPod.  On an iOS device, iTunes is just a store, where you buy music, rent or buy movies.  The music you have in your iTunes library on your computer can be synced to your iPad and you choose what music you want to sync to your iPad while your iPad is connected to your computer in iTunes.  When you are not connected to your computer via iTunes, any music you did not sync to your iPad will not be viewable in iTunes, thus it can't be played because you did not sync it to your iPad.  I don't I can make this any clearer.........

  • Can I use CS 6 if I don't have Open GL?

    I have 1024 NVidia GeForce GT220 card - when I checked it said only 400 series and higher have open GL - Does this mean I cannot use CS6?

    It will run, you'll just be without a number of nice GPU-accelerated features.
    I don't know if Adobe has a page online yet specifically identifying all the features in Photoshop CS6 that depend on the GPU.
    New video cards with modern features and amazing speed aren't particularly expensive.

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    This will tell you how to restore
    iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
    If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode
    iPad: Unable to update or restore

  • HT1212 What if the Iphone states it is disabled connect to I-tunes but you don't have a computer and the one you are using wants you to trust it but you can't because it doesn't give you the option on your phone because it is locked?

    What if the I-Phone states it is disabled connect to iTunes and when you don't have a computer available that is sync with phone, but are using a different computer. You can't trust the computer from your phone because it is locked.  How do I gain access.

    Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • HT1947 Can you use your iPad alone for sharing iTunes music to apple tv without having your pc on?

    Can you use your iPad alone to share iTunes music to apple tv without having to use your pc?

    Do you have any music stored on your iPad or is it all on your PC?
    If the music is stored on your iPad, then double tap the home button, swipe (left to right motion) and you will see the volume/brightness controls/AirPlay. Tap on AirPlay and select ATV. Then go into the music app
