Do I have to to have iTunes to take full advantage of the iPad2

I am looking into getting a tablet and doing a little research. I had an iPod Touch and got rid of it.  I really hated having to connect to itunes for everything.  Since then I have removed iTunes from all of my Apple Computers. Will I be able to own and maintain an iPad without iTunes?

I use my Macs for graphic design and after an itunes update early last year many of the addons conflicted with it locking my machines up regularly.  This forced me to restart a few times a day (costing me time and money).  As soon as I removed iTunes everything went back to normal.
Are we really talking about iTunes here? iTunes is just an app that should have no effects on other apps. However, iTunes is intimately integrated with QuickTime, which often gets an update along with iTunes. Now, QuickTime has a lot more effect on the rest of your system, since many apps use it to display media and common file formats like JPEG and TIFF. So maybe your problems were really QuickTime bugs or something else?
Because let's face it, 99.9% of Mac-using graphic designers have iTunes installed, and it is not causing them to flee the platform for Windows...

  • HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

    Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

  • I need to clear space on my mac and have 2 other devices I need space on- IpHone and Ipad.  I have Itunes match.  If I delete the library from my computer, how can I play music from the cloud on all devices.  S

    I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad.  Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive.  I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud.  Thoroughly confused and frustrated.  Hope someone can help.
    Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up.  Any thoughts?

    If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account.  Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
    The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

  • I have iTunes 11.0.04.4 and the ION EZ vinyl converter software cannot seem to connect. Is there a patch?

    I have iTunes 11.0.04.4 and my ION EZ Vinyl converter sofware cannot seem to connect with iTunes. Is there a patch I can download?

    Yes. you should keep your media in iTunes, and indeed you should also keep a backup of your library as well. if you have the device set up for manual management then the content would remain on it when deleted from the library, but you would have no way to restore the device if there was a problem.

  • I have itunes credit card and scrached off the # and cant see it how do i redeem now?

    I have a itunes credit card I scrached the # off and cant see it how do I redeem it now?

    On the bottom of your card, UNDER the barcode, you will se a long number. That is the card serial number.
    Go to apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html to email the iTunes store support.
    Tell them that the redemption code was scratched off, and give them the card serial number. Someone from the iTunes Store will email you back with the cards redemption code.

  • If I buy iwork for my macbook, do I have to buy it in addition for the ipad2 ?

    I am trying to make the transition from PC to Mac and thus will be buying both, a macbook and an ipad2. Id like to know if I would I thus have to buy applications like iwork , for both macbook and ipad ? Thats a double expenditure.

    Yes, you'll have to buy it twice.  Even then, it's still cheaper than one copy of Office, and having bought it, you can then install it on as many Macs or iOS devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches) as you own.

  • I get this error message when trying to start Itunes - "Runtime Error! Program: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe  R6034 Anapplication has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  I have tried to have iTunes re-install and correct.

    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime Library incorrectly.
    I have tried to have iTunes re-install but still get the error.

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
