Hi wanting to b uy my parents a ipad do they need a normal computer as well or can the ipad be updated etc on its own?

wanting to buy my parents a ipad do they need a normal PC or Laptop as well or can the ipad be used without???

iPads with iOS 5 installed can be used entirely separate from a computer. It can do updates with out iTunes and no computer is needed for it to be setup/activated. You will be fine buying them just an iPad.

Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? How can this problem be solved?

Dear all,
I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks for your help.

If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

HT4623 I can't install software Update for iOS 7.1.1. for iPad because I was forgot my password. How I can change my password?

These are user to user forums. Apple does not participate here and does not respond to posts. For the record, since the iPad 2 supports iOS 8 any attempt to update the iPad 2 will result in an update to 8.1. Apple only supports updating to the latest version of the operating system that the device supports.

My iPad (original) no longer connects to the internet after update to ios 5. Are there any solutions to this issue?

Has anyone found a successful method to connect? This is not a router issue as other devices, including another iPad not updated to ios 5 connects just fine. I am getting frustrated

I had this problem. I held down the power switch to power down completely. Takes a few seconds. Then use the power switch to turn on. Might take a couple goes.

Where can I download the ipad software myself?

What entries do you have in your HOSTS file on your PC/Mac?
If you have ever used TinyUmbrella your HOSTS file could be redirecting the request to a local server or Cydia.
Look for any entries which redirect gs.apple.com and comment out or remove.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
