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.

No, because you have to use AFP file protocol and it is difficult to get going, although one file app does offer it, I have not seen or heard anyone that managed it. You should look in the ipad area.. as this really has little to do with Time Capsule.

Can I use the ipad with 3G in egypt if i bought it from the us

You will need to get a local micro-sim, but yes you should be able to. 3G iPads bought in the US are not locked to a carrier, but in order to use a local micro-sim you'll need the AT&T version if buying from the US - the Verizon iPads are CDMA based and don't use sim cards (so are effectively locked to Verizon)

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.

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

Can you charge an ipad with an iphone charger

can you charge an ipad with an iphone charger?

Yes, you will cause no damage... it will just take a lot longer...
iPad Charging
"The fastest 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.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
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."

Can I use an iPad with 3G purchased in the USA in Brazil?

Can I use an iPad with 3G purchased in the USA in Brazil? The Apple iPad sold in the USA is configured to be used with the cellular networks operated by Verizon and AT&T. What I am wondering is whether either of those networks can work with the cellular companies that operate in Brazil? Does anyone know?
Thanks
Luis

No if the iPad was purchased for Verizon's network which is a CDMA network. The iPad for Verizon's network does not have a SIM card slot.
Yes if the iPad was purchased for ATT's network which includes a SIM card slot. The GSM iPad sold in the U.S. is not sold as carrier locked.

Q: Can you use xm:multiple with Objects other than Strings?

A: You bet. Attached find a text file with some code from the example I showed
today, a version of the multipleSayHiTo() method that has a parameter of an Array
of Person objects rather than a parameter of an Array of Strings. The code within
the text file comes from the Greeting.jws file (the Greeting Web Service).

So you are saying that the recovery discs I made do include the copy of windows that was originally installed?
Absolutely! They will restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents. Follow the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

maybe i can make a deal with wd to have them swap this drive out for the BEKT instead...
That would be a good idea in any case.
As I said, the 10-fc12-045d error would not be due to the drive's being AFT, but more likely the discs are not being read properly. New discs can be obtained from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here

Can you use Time Capsule with any wifi extender?

Can you use Time capsule with any wifi extenders?

No, since Apple designed their routers to only work with other Apple routers.
I suppose that it is possible that another brand might work, but since you won't know this until you try, it would be a good idea to have a clear understanding of the store's return policy before you decide to gamble.
