Does the iPad 4 need a screen protector?

I recently bought an iPad with a retina screen,does this iDevice need a screen protector?retina screen loses quality using a screen protector on?

I put one on my iPad 2, largely cause it's an expensive toy and I want to keep it in good shape. I like knowing that if my niece plays 'mad birds' and gets grubby little fingerprints on it I am simply cleaning off a sheet of plastic, not the screen. I consider it an investment against the potential resell value whenever i replace it.
Like the others have said, personal choice.
I'd think if your device never leaves the living room table and is only used by adults in a controlled surrounding, then you probably have no need. But if you're carrying it around, using it anywhere, potentially sharing it with others then it may be a good idea.

Does an ipad need a screen protector

does the ipad mini need a screen protector or is it tough enough to withstand scratching?

I use Apple's Smart Cover instead of a screen protector.

10 bucks more would get you a Smart Case, which also protects the aluminum back of the iPad.

Why does the iPad need to be connected to a host computer to access the app store?

Is this normal operation?
I remember when I first purchased it that I needed to be connected to a host computer to even just turn it on. At that time I was advised to redo the sign-in and create a password operation and was then able to run the iPad independantly of a host computer.
Is there a way to download apps directly to the iPad without a host connection?

Well, then this thing has gotten into a mode that will not allow the app store connection unless it is connected to a host machine.
It will prompt me for the password, accept it, and then go into an endless loop of saying "Not logged in. Would you like to log in?"
If I enter an incorrect password (as a test) it will tell me "password is incorrect" - so that's not it.
Again, this reminds me of the mode this was in when I first got it and needed to be teathered to simply turn it on.
I'm only using the iTunes backup and restore method. I never learned how to simply clone the iPads HDD volume for absolute foolproof backup so I can not say that I'm able to clone my original HDD image back 100% identical to what it was when this was last working normally.
PS. Yes, the iPad is powered on. Yes, I have wi-fi access. Yes, I have power to my home. Yes, I'm sure. Yes, I've done this before and it used to work.

Does the IPAD need a antivirus & firewall program?

I just purchased a new 32g G yesterday and need to know if I need AV & Firewall protection. I called McAfee that I use on my pc but They only sell a family protection pkg that doesn't provide av or firewall protection

Tamara is right. Here's a thread with the same discussion of this topic:

The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
Thanks in advance.

Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

Do I need a screen protector for my New iPad with retina display?

I have a screen protector on my new iPad with retina display, but does this effect the screen display and do I really need a screen protector on?

So I just got my first ever iPad (4th gen) about 4 days ago. I am waitng on a case and have been looking into a screen protector, debating this same question on quality. I have a 3 year old and he is dying to play with it. In the meantime I cannot stress how careful I have been, as Im sure you all know what Im talking about. Last night I was using it on my lap and my shirt tugged it off, causing me to grab it before it fell. Of course the longest, sharpest nail, caught it for me. Obviously I freak out and hurry to clean the screen to see for damage. I see there is a huge line where my nail caught it, but upon cleaning was no longer there. This nail was sharper than any key I own! So I guess what im going to do is get a complete cover for use with my 3 year old and just a basic one when I use it. Good job apple!

HT1766 My mini Ipad is only 2 months old and it has frozen. The screen says that the ipad needs to be backed up on icloud but the touch screen has frozen and I can even shut it down. Suggestions

Does anyone know how to unfreeze a screen.

Try to reboot it. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple, about 20 seconds or so. It should reboot and work for you.

Do u need a screen protector for the Iphone

I know it might be a stupid question but alot of my friends have the Iphone 4 and they say they dont need a screen protector because the screen doesnt scratch like other smartphone and phone screens. Anyone know if this is true?
Eric

I use all my devices naked. Screen protectors detract from my enjoyment. But if you're worried, try one and see if you can live with it.
The glass is really strong. I've had my iPad for eight months and it doesn't have a scratch on it. Granted, that device is babied more than a phone, not shoved in a pocket.
Be sure to follow Apple's directions for cleaning the screen. Cleaning it too often can break down the oils that protect the glass.

Do you really need a screen protector for iPad?

So I know the iPad 4th gens have a really durable glass screen. Do I really need a screen protector? I have a case that covers the screen. It is an incpio.

If you have a cover for it (your case) you shouldn't need a screen protector. I use Apple's Smart Cover and do not have a screen protector.

Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

Is it possible to hook a USB external hard drive to an iPad?.....the HD has video on it that I wanna watch on my iPad but don't wanna store it on iPad or iTunes....and way format does the video need to be in to watch on iPad?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:

Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

Need a screen protector with Musemee Notier stylus?

I have an Ipad Air 2 which I love, and am looking for the right app/stylus combination to take notes. Lots of apps are good -- the issue is the stylus. I've tried several and just got the Musemee Notier which is spectacular. But the screen protector I purchased as a safeguard did not apply well and I am going to return it.
Does anyonen know if I need aa screen protector with a high precision stylus such as the Musemee Notier?
Thanks!

Hey
I just boght the new Air 2. Does the Musemee Notier v2 work with the Air 2?
I'm searching the right Stylus to take notes at university and i found nothing about the Musemee and the Air 2.
Greetings!

Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?

I bought an iPad Mini and also have a macbook. I had listened to various music on my iPad Mini the other day, however when I connected the iPad Mini to the Macbook and iTunes via the lightning connector to sync, it synced the ratings I gave the songs I listened to on the mini, but no play count, as if I had not listened to anything. I hope there is something I can do about this as I often look at my play count!!

It should work work but these kind of bugs pop up between updates, both hardware and software. Try closing all apps in the recently used list on the iPad. Double tap the Home button, tap and hold one of the icons at the bottom till they wiggle then tap the to close them. Tap the Home button to get back to the Home screen then hold the sleep button till you see the slide to power off message. Once it has powered down completely hold the Sleep button till the Apple icon appears.

Re: Why does the iPad Mini not have music play count?
Nov 18, 2012 11:34 AM (in response to Katrina UK)
Does it even really matter...?
Many people including myself rely on playcounts to control smart playlist to manage large libraries. Smart playlists can be created to show your most or least played tracks and used more or less as your favorites or other uses. Along with playcounts the date is transferred so to keep a fresh list of music on my smaller iPods a smart playlist set to songs not played in the last month keeps some fresh tunes on it.
Playcounts are also used to manage Podcasts in iTunes to delete older episode. Bookmarks, which can also be effected by this, can mess up audiobooks, movies and podcast playback between different devices. So yes, it does matter.

Probably a stupid question . . . does the iPad come with iTunes preinstalled?

I'm in need ot a portable way to listen to podcasts and type some notes. Due to low vision I cannot use an ipod or iphone. I have an imac at home. Does the ipad come with itunes preinstalled, or would I haave to buy it separately. I know I'd have to purchase another copy if pages, which I have on my imac.

Yes - but the iTunes that comes installed on the iPad is the iTunes Store where you purchase your media. The iPad comes with a preinstalled iPod App and that is where your music library resides and plays on the iPad - not in iTunes.
You don't have to buy either apps for the iPad.
