HT4623 Ipad 3rd generation-microsoft office compatability

I bought my son a Ipad 3rd generation and would like to put windows 7 and microsoft office on it for his use in college. Are they compatible and if so, which should I purcchase?
Thanks for the help.

iPad will run only iOS and will not allow install of any version of
Windows. iPad can access Office 365 as per
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-suite-help/use-office-365-on-your-ip hone-or-ipad-HA103787373.aspx
There may be a charge for Office 365 subscription - I do not use it so do
not know.
There are many Office compatible apps in the AppStore. I use Numbers, Pages,
and Keynote. Others have reported success with alternate apps. Read the descriptions
and reviews carefully before making a purchase.
From another post in this forum by rccharles:
All of the "Office" document editing applications on the iPad have limitations. Best try them out to see if
they meet your needs. All these app have a spreadsheet, Excel, component.
Free apps
iWork by Apple -- free with newly purchased iPads; if iPad activated before Sept 1, 2013 there will be a charge

Headphones & iPad 3rd Generation

None of the headphones listed on the iPad accessory page listed above, show iPad 3rd generation compatibility. Do you think they are not compatible or that Apple has not updated the information page for these accessories?
Note, I am talking about headphones, not earphones. - Fabe

I brought a new ipad (3rd generation), the problem i am having is with itunes. i downloaded a television series onto my ipad, i did not know that it would try to download it all at one time. my question is how do i change the way my ipad loads.

As I stated in the title, I purchased an ipad (3rd generation), and I am having trouble with itunes downloads. Mistakenly when I purchased a television series I selected download the entire series to my ipad. Is there a way to stop this download and change the download location to either my laptop or into the cloud?

Did you try tapping on the download to bring up a pause status? You can finish the download on the computer in iTunes. You may be able to delete the download by swiping across the progress bar of the download after you finish the download on the computer.
Launch iTunes on your computer and go to Store>Check for available downloads. Finish the download in iTunes and then try to delete the download from the iPad.

IPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.

iPad (3rd generation) does not automatically connect to wi-fi. It is fully updated to 5.1.1 but you have to manually connect after turning off and back on. I also have an iPad 2 with the same OS but it automatically connects. The wi-fi has no security.

HT6208 How to download iOS7.1.1 with 3GB capacity on iPad 3rd generation

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can't restore iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)

Model: iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ)
Non Jail-broken.
I have tried to use iTunes to restore the iPad through restore mode and it gives me error 9 when using my Macbook Pro, and it gives me error 14 when using Windows 7 desktop.
I have good internet connection. I have good USB cable (oem, plugged in directly into desktop tower/laptop).
I have also tried downloading previous firmware and using Shift click/option-command click on restore button via iTunes and choosing specific file to restore the iPad.
Anything else I can do to fix this iPad?
Doing research on error codes on Apple's website:
error 9: security error?
error 14: usb cable error?
I am not sure why these codes are coming up...
How can i get iTunes to complete the restore process. I dont care about any of the data that was on the iPad. All my photos are on cloud and backed up on Macbook Pro via iPhone. It was all synced prior to this happening to the iPad...

Hello TonyTechSupport,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot error 14 in iTunes.
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

How do I delete multiple emails on iPad 3rd generation

How do I delete multiple emails on iPad 3rd generation with 7.0.6 os? There is not an option to delete more than one at a time. I would like to delete all at once.

It's possible there's an easier way, but this worked for me:
To “delete all” emails on ipad
From each Inbox...
Tap “Edit”
Tap “Mark All” then tap “Mark as Read”
Again, tap "Edit"
Select first email (adds dot and check mark)
Put your finger on “Move” without releasing
With other hand, put finger on first email and Slowly Drag down on email list then release
(your other finger is still on “Move”)
Deselect first email (it may take a couple of taps)
Release “Move”
Wait a while if you have a large number of emails
Tap the Trash icon
All your emails should be deleted

Does iPad 3rd generation support dual band wi-fi ?

What is the wi-fi IEEE standard used for iPad 3rd Generation ?
Does it capable of communicating with 2 bands (i.e. 2.4 GHz & 5 Ghz) ?
Thanks.

How to use the camera connection kit for iPad 3rd generation?

Hi I just bought a new camera connection kit for my iPad 3rd generation. Does anyone have any experience or knows how to use it? I tried to connect a USB to it and nothing happened. Please help...

This is how you use it.

Is there an app on the iPad that resembles Microsoft Office? I need it for school. If there is please let me know. Thanks :-)

Is there an app on the iPad that resembles Microsoft Office? I need it for school.

The basic apple equivalent to ms office is called i works, which has three components. Pages is word, numbers is xl, and keynote is powerpoint. There are many subtle differences, but the are more or less functionaly equivalent.
There are also a number of third part apps available to replicate office functions, such as good reader, docs to go, and my favorite, quick office. Read the reviews in the app store and pick the one that will do what you need.
You will also get some other suggestions here.

Ipad 3rd generation, are there any recalls on this device?

I have an Ipad 3rd generation. It will not charge. went to the apple store, they ran diagnostic and said battery was fine, reset everything, said the firmware was fine. Thinks the problem is in the charge port or wire going to battery. Is this a common issue or problem anyone else has had?

No.

IPad 3rd generation

Everything is sharper on the iPad 3rd generation... but I need to know how to get the crisp white thst the iPad 2 displays. Te iPad 3 has a distinct or pronounced yellowish haze tone to white objects and affects all other colors as well. It is not the brightness ... I've tested that. Holding the iPad 3rd generation next to the iPad 2 ... the color difference is very noticeable and. renders images washed out!

Many people have posted that the yellowish tint was a common problem when the iPad 2 was first released and was caused by the glue holding the screen to the rest of the unit. Supposedly the yellowish tint disappeared after a few weeks. If this is the case, the long an iPad site on the shelf the better the screen will look. But right now every iPad is probably sold right after it is manufactured. Those who manage to purchase units made earlier in the process as Apple built up their inventory. I purchased my iPad 2 well after it was first released and never saw a problem with the screen.
For those concerned about this issue I would wait until a few weeks after the mad rush to buy the new iPad is over. Then go to an Apple store with your old iPad to compare with a unit that had been around for a while. Hopefully the problem will either be resolved by Apple or it will go away as units spend A little more time between manufacture and delivery to the buyer.

IPad 3rd generation camera problem

My new IPad 3rd generation camera worked perfectly for about a half hour. Then the IPad got hot so I turned it off to cool down. When I turned it back on and tried to use the camera the camera screen was black. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Quit the camera app and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or reboot the iPad.
Reboot 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.
BTW ... The iPad should not get that hot!

Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100% charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old

Should I always let my iPad 3rd generation die and charge ? Takes almost close to 12 hours for a 100% charge. Any suggestions ? iPad is over a year old and don't want to buy a new one if this problem will continue to happen. Help

Do not let the battery drop to 0%. That is very damaging for a lithium based battery, as in the iPad. Charge at any time, for any amount.
