How do you add apps if you don't have a computer?

Since I anticipate having students with a brand new iPad and I know that some of them will not have a computer, I need to find out how they can download a few free apps such as the iBooks.app and the iTunes U.app directly to their iPads. As I understand it, this requires the App Store.app which is not pre-installed on the iPad. So it looks like a Catch-22 situation for students who have an iPad but don't have a computer.
Surely there has to be a way around this.

Not according to what I read here:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/ios/
There, Apple lists it's built-in apps as follows:
There's no AppStore.app listed. From this I can only assume that one has to download that essential app to a computer and then sync it to the iPad. If you don't have a computer, you can't have any apps! Sounds ridiculous for sure but that's what I am seeing so far.

Ok can anyone tell how I can get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store using my I pad because I don't have a computer and when I try to redownload the apps it keeps asking me for my card number and when I give it my card info it says that it's an invalid number when I know that it's not

If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

I got this ipad used how do i reset everything and i don't have the computer it was synced on, I got this ipad used how do i reset everything and i don't have the computer it was synced on

I ask for help I had got a used Ipad from someone they didn't give me the passcode so I can reset everything. I don't have the last computer it had been synced on or the passwords for the store nor do I know how to change the email adresses. So does anyone know how to reset the passcode on an ipad with no computer or have it been synced on itunes.

Plug into iTunes on any computer.
Hold down the sleep wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Don't let go of the sleep wake button and press and hold the home button as well. Do this until the Apple logo disappears.
Now let go of the sleep wake button but keep your finger on the home button for a few more seconds. The device should go in a mode that will enable you to restore it.

How to closed open app in 3G (don't have multitasking display like in 3GS and 4G)?

Since 3G has slower CPU and smaller RAM compare to 3GS and 4G, then I think it should be useful if we could completely shut down app when we stop using it.

When the RAM gets used up, the iPhone will shut down apps all by itself, you needn't do anything. Of course, that doesn't always mean it works perfectly. The only way to close apps is to turn the phone off and back on again, which may be overkill most of the time, but I found necessary when I had a satnav app running, slowing everything else to a crawl.

How can I add artwork when I don't have the artwork option??

I want to add artwork that gracenote cddb doesn't recognize but when I choose "get more info" the artwork tab isn't there.

Believe me I've tried everything. I'm signed in right now. I have everything set. Some albums have the artwork tab when I right click them and choose get info. There should be 4 or 5 tabs. Summary, Info, Options, Lyrics, & Artwork. Some of the albums with no artwork have only 3 tabs. Summary, Info , & options. The info is grayed out unless I choose every song. When I do that, none of the changes I make in the info tab stay including dragging artwork into the little artwork window. Please help.

How can I see the whole screen on my original iPad, without having to scroll up or down. Something changed and I don't know how to get it back. I don't have a computer to hook it up to. Thx!

My front screen seems to zoom in when I start it now. AND, now I can not see the page fit the screen. It makes me scroll on the borders to move parts of the screen into view. Something changed and I don't know what happened or how to get it back to normal. Please HELP!!! Thx!

it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps

Hi there,
Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
Please help. Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
Thanks Rachel

Connect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

Can you add apps to iPad open in list

Can you add apps to the open in list of an iPad

As far as I know, you cannot add apps to the Open In list using any setting or built in feature in iOS. This is controlled by the iOS itself. IIRC, you can delete apps from the iPad that appear in the Open In list in order to make room for apps that you would like to appear in there, and if you continue to use the apps that you want to add to that list, eventually they will appear in the list. I believe that the more that you use one particular app, the more likely it will be for it to appear in the Open In list.

I don't know who 'Mrs Gideon' is, but we are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you have previously contacted support then you can use the same method that you used last time, and, if you have a case number, include that as well

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.

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.
