Got an ipad2 for my sons B-Day- do I need to charge it prior to giving it to him?

Does it come charged or does it need to be fully charged before it's first use?

Most come with a 75% or greater charge. But no "full charge" cycle is required to use it, like an electric razor.
They do require activation, so the apple store can do that for you or you can do it at home.

  • I purchased an iPad2 in the US. What do I need to charge & use it in Australia & New Zealand?

    I purchased an iPad2 in the US. What do I need to use it & charge it while traveling in Australia & New Zealand?

    If it's 3G, and the AT&T version, then you will need local micro-sims in those 2 countries if you want to be able to use 3G whilst there (and avoid potenial roaming costs with AT&T).
    For charging you should just need plug adapters - my UK charger has 100 to 240 v (50 and 60hz) in faint grey writing on it, and I believe both NZ and Australia are 230 V  50 hz so you shouldn't need a converter.

  • Dropped my iphone..got the apple for a second and then nothing..its been charging for 1 day and still nothing...

    dropped my iphone...getting nothing..let it charge foe a day and still nothing.

    Since you dropped and damaged your phone, you've voided your warranty.  As such, you can bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty exchange, which will cost 199.00 USD.  Or, since it's now out of warranty anyway, you can Google an iPhone repair shop in your area and see if it will cost less than that for repair.

  • I got an ipad2 for Christmas but I am unable to connect to itunes

    I have downloaded OS 5.0.1 and restored factory settings. I can connect to the internet without problems, but when I try to connect to the app store or itunes the asterisk just keeps spinning and it says "loading" until eventually it says it cannot connect to the server. Without these it is basically a $600 PDA. If it matters, it is a 32gig WiFi 3G model. Can someone please help or is it defective. I have contacted Apple support and they will get back "within 48 hours". It will probably be returned before then

    Assuming you've created a proper Apple ID and filled out all of the info from iTunes on your computer, you should be able to access the iTunes app and App Store App on your iPad.
    Before going to exchange this for another tablet, at this point, I am at a loss for a fix, but there is one more thing we can try. If this doesn't help, if you have , reasonable, access to an Apple Store, I would and see if they can fix the issues you're having and/or see if they can give you a replacement if they feel it's defective.
    They, also, maybe able to get your iPaf working from the store since most Apple store have Wifi access.
    If your iPad works fine there, you know you have a problem at home with your computer and/or Wifi setup.
    I forgot to ask if you're using a PC or Mac,  if using a PC, you need to, temporarily, disable virus protection and any firewalls before activating your iPad. Return the iPad to its factory condition, then try hooking up the iPad to your computer, again, to start the activation and loading process, again.
    If successful, then try using over Wifi, again to see if this clears up any issues. If still the same issues, it could be issues with your WiFi router. I believe, when using an iPad, you need to disable any firewalls that are setup in the router and may have to adjust the router's settings. You can keep any internal firewalls on your computer, but I believe that firewall security at the router level will prevent the iPad from working properly.
    If this still fails, if your iPad is fully operational, try doing a reset, by holding down the home button and the iPad's on/off button until the iPad shuts down and restarts itself.
    This is all I got, if still no go with any of this, take it to the nearest Apple retail store and see if they can get it to work or replace it there. The staff at the store will be able to help.
    I forgot to mention, if you don't want to wait a long time, call your nearest Apple retail ahead of time to make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have this looked at.
    Here's some info about troubleshooting Wifi/router issues if your iPad is still wonky.

  • Query for getting Last 4 Day of weeks - need help

    I am having a table profile that contains a column 'Modified_Date' that stores date values. The table contains records for the last one month.
    Now, I need a query that gives me the last 3 wednesdays (Including today)
    i.r,. I need the last 4 wednesdays including today.
    How can I acheive this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Raghu.

    Hi,
    explain? I'll try.
    Level is a pseudocolumn used in conjunction with connect by. In connect by I used < 5 as a condition since you wanted the last 4 Wednesday. I used it to get a number to be used as a multiplier.
      1  select next_day(sysdate,'wednesday')-(7*level) weds, level lvl from dual
      2* connect by level < 5
    SQL> /
    WEDS             LVL
    06-AUG-08          1
    30-JUL-08          2
    23-JUL-08          3
    16-JUL-08          4
    next_day(p_date,'wednesday') returns the calendar date of Wednesday after the date in p_date
    (7*level) a week is composed of seven (7) days multiplied by level or number of weeks to get number of days between weeks. I then subtract this from the result of next_day function

  • For the last two days, firefox has been freezing or Not Responding and giving error message

    every 30 seconds or so firefox tells me it is not responding. and once it comes back it gives me the following error message.
    A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
    Script: http://cdn4.specificclick.net/img/?ag=1&pb=9788&pg=293059886053054629&us=IuOJnv_awGu5HD&nwk=1&rnd=53585:3534
    I did install a java update, don't know if this is related.

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • For the last 2 days My phone won't charge

    Ive tried the 3 apple charger, none work, I've cleaned the charging point on phone but wasn't dirty, the phone came up with a warning triangle. I'm one a 24 month contract and I have 2.5 months left.
    What can I do as the phone doesn't work :-( and I've got no cover????

    hey Jack
    is your cable good?
    Are you charging to an outlet in the wall directly?
    Have you restored your phone?
    If yes to all and you still have a problem, back up your phone and go to your nearest Apple Store. If you purchased applecare you are golden. If not, you'll be ok as long as the problem is software. If it's hardware, they'll tell you what it will cost.

  • My ipad got a 1 line cracked at the corner side near the charging sight...went to a apple aothorized reseller...1st they advised me to contact online/call toll free support for the inquiries on my IPAD2 for the reason that i did not buy it in their store.

    IS IT RIGHT THAT THE APPLE RESELLER CHARGED ME FOR THE FREIGHT PAYMENT OF MY IPAD2 FOR THE REASON THAT THEY FACILITATED THE REPAIR  OF MY IPAD 2...IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I BOUGHT IT ONLINE AND NOT IN THEIR STORE... IS THAT RIGHT?

    it was not broken due to drop..we charged it and afterwardse we saw that there was a crack..if we drop it i think it will not only have a one small line...but anyway the authorized resseller facilitated the reporting of the complain of our ipad2...i think they have it pictured and send it to the apple.com...apple.com replied that my case is approved and still under warranty...they send it to the Authorized apple repair center...
    I actually got a brand new ipad2...they replaced a new one..but they charged me for the FREIGHT for the reason that i did not buy it in their APPle store...that i bought it on Apple online...

  • Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

    Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • I have just got my iPad2 and very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge.  Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all or would this be bad for my iPad?

    I have just got my iPad2 and am very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge.  Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all before I plug in to recharge or would this complete drain be bad for my iPad?

    It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
