I am buying an iPad for my daughter.

Is the GB size important for downloading and watching movies?

I've got 20movies 230 music vids on my iPad 3 64gb in standard definition high definition movies would take up a lot more space.the bigger the capacity the more u can hold.

I have just bought a mini ipad for my daughter set it up in my apple id so she could keep all her apps games etc, how do i set up a seperate account for her ipad and also keep my own id @

I have just bought a mini ipad for my daughter and used my apple id to set it up for her so she can keep all her apps and downloads of my ipad that she was using, i was wondering how do i give her, her own apple id so that she can keep all her apps and then i can two seperate accounts ?

You cannot transfer the purchases to another account. What she has purchased with your account will always be tied to your ID. That's the way that it works. You can have her create her own Apple ID to use with Cloud account, FaceTime and Messages.
But if you create a new ID for her, she will have to flip flop between the two Apple ID's in order to update apps, and if she wants to make purchases with her own ID, you also have to consider the fact that she may run the risk of locking herself out of her own ID by downloading a past purchase using your ID, after she starts buying with her own ID.

Finally bought another iPad for my daughter

Just bought an iPad for my daughter & want to know if it is possible to transfer all the games & apps I bought for her from my iPad to her new iPad, or do I need to buy them all over again from the App Store?
Registered her new iPad using the same Apple ID as for my iPad, but of course named it differently.

You may be able to re download the purchases for free using the same Apple ID. It may depend on your geographical location.

TS1702 Hello, I have a new ipad for my daughter. Do I have to pay again for iphoto, pages, etc to go on it or does it duplicate these. I cannot find a way to do this?

Hello helpful people ...I have a brand new ipad for my daughter and I. I have an iMac for which I have bought Aperture, Pages and iPhoto is also on it. Do I have to buy these all again for the ipad or will it duplicate them onto the ipad........is this a blonde moment and its really silly!!!??? Not massive user of Itunes so struggling a bit.......

You don't. As has been said you need to buy the iPad versions from the iOS App Store.

I would like to buy an ipad for a gift for a friend that lives in Santiago,Dominican Republic. What do I need to do to make the ipad function efficiently and properly in Santiago,Dominican Republic?

I would like to buy an ipad for a friend of mine that lives in Santiago,Dominican Republic. How and what do I need to do as far as set up of the ipad to make sure that it functions efficiently and properly in Santiago,Dominican Republic? The availability of wi-fi is not very good, so should I buy an ipad model that has wi-fi and cellular capability? I am quite new to all this technology so I would appreciate it very much if someone can explain step by by step and in simple terms how the ipad needs to be set up to work in this country.

The Smart Cover only protects the front screen. You'll get scratches on the back plus it provides no protection for a small drop.
I added a screen protector as it was cheap insurance protection.
For my iPad 2, I bought an Adesso case/keyboard model WKB-2000CD http://www.adesso.com/en/component/content/article/49-coming-soon/455-wkb-2000cd .html Works great & looks good. The keyboard is easier to use than Apple's on-screen keyboard. Do a Google search using the model number to get the best price. About the same price as Apple's covers & it covers the whole iPad. Although the new iPad is slightly thicker, it should fit this case.

I would like to buy am Ipad for my nephew. Which one is better to play games, ipad or ipad mini

I would like to buy an ipad for my nephew. Which one is better, ipad or ipad mini? He wants to play games, and put lots of app.

Probably the full iPad, because it has a better graphics card. The larger screen helps too.

I want to buy an ipad for someone that lives in Brazil. Which carrier should i buy so that it will work with the carriers in Brazil?

Look, any officially unlocked GSM iPhone will work in India. You purchase from Dubai, no FaceTime, and Dubai is part of the UAE. You purchase anywhere but India, and you will have NO warranty or support. Frankly, doesn't make any sense to me why you want to do this...and don't bother telling me you save hundreds of dollars...still doesn't make any sense. Do a forum search here. We get posts daily, from users in India, who didn't purchase their iPhones in India...guess what? They all have problems. You want to join that bunch? It's your money, have at it.

I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

Yes, they can play games - there are hundreds if not thousands of games available in the iTunes Store. Beware of the "free" games; many are free for the base game but charge for things like additional levels, "coins" etc. and those paid add-ons can add up quickly, to dozens or even in some cases hundreds of dollars. I'd strongly suggest you set up restrictions on the iPad to prevent your children from making unauthorized purchases. See:
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ht/Using-Iphone-Content-Restrictions.htm
You will need an Internet provider of some sort; Apple is not a provider and so the iPad does not include a data service. You can either use a home Internet connection with a WiFi access point (aka "router") or you can get an iPad with WiFi+Cellular and sign up for a data plan with a cell carrier. WiFi through a home Internet service will probably be cheaper.

Buying an iPad for Mom

We are thinking about buying an iPad for my Mom. Since I have no experience with an iPad, I need input from some real users like the people here.
Mom originally wanted a GPS for her birthday, but it is something she would use so rarely that it would not be worth the money. We came up with the idea of an iPad because it has mapping apps and much more. I started thinking about getting her an email account, showing her how to use the iPad as a remote control, using the calendar for appointments, etc. She has seen how my iPhone works, and it comes across much simpler than a computer. I think she would more easily grasp the idea of using an iPad.
*_I should establish a few things first:_*
1. Mom has never used a computer, and I doubt she ever will. She is fairly intimidated by computers, and I doubt that she could keep track of where files are stored, etc. On an iPad, everything is right there on the desktop and easy to find.
2. Mom does NOT have internet service at her house.
*_What we hope to accomplish:_*
1. Make Mom a little bit tech-savvy.
2. Buy something that will give her some mapping capability (like the GPS she originally wanted), and more functions that she can learn to use.
*_Here's what I need to know:_*
1. Since she has no computer at home, she has no internet connection. If she gets an iPad with WiFi and 3G capability, what kind of carrier service would she need? Would it be best to get access through a cable company, or a cell phone company? (I know prices vary- I'm just looking for input.)
2. I've seen that something called AirPrint is available. Will this work with JUST an iPad? (No computer needed?)
3. Can bluetooth speakers be used with an iPad?
Feel free to throw out anything else you can think of regarding making this purchase. I assume the iPad is simply like using "an iPhone on steroids," but since I've never used one, your input will be a big help.

Rory, I too say go ahead and do it. There are a few things you will of course need some clarification on though before hand. I also have a few things that I would recommend as well to make it go smoothly. First if I may I would like to share a similar story that happened with me setting up family members with iPads.
I helped ease my grandparents into first generation iPads last June. They are in their early eighties and wanted a computer for email with their grandkids and great grandkids. I told them I would take them but they insisted they would be fine. They went on their own to Best Buy to try and get themselves a computer but the salesmen there confused them and upset my Pawpaw so badly he swore: "I'll never set foot in that abomination of electronic peddlers ever again."
Trying to explain to them that not all places were like that, I said I would drive them up to Indianapolis to the Apple store there to get a Mac. Imagine my poor old farmer Papaw and my retired housekeeper Mamaw shuffling their feet around the Apple store looking at everything. I showed them the Macs and was going to get a MacBook Air for them, then my Mamaw stopped paying attention and pointed across the room. She was curious as to what the crowds were over on the other side of the store. I explained it was people lining up to try the iPads.
She said she wanted to go stand in line to try them too, so I said I can do better than that. I took mine out of my satchel that I had gotten at the end of April 3G launch and handed it to her. I walked them through all of the bells and whistles and my Papaw eventually said "We're done her mother, have her ring two of them there up and I'll be in the car waiting for you." She looked at me and smiled and that was that. Luckily they had some in stock, so it was my gift to them. I had the 64 WiFi+3G, so I went with 16 WiFI+3G for both of them. I knew they would never use the extra space. I took them home and set them up their iPads on my MacBook Pro and they were off.
My Mamaw uses hers to do email and read and watch Netflix. She also does a lot of recipe stuff and loves Cooking Apps and loves having lots of photos emailed to her of her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Even though I got them WiFI+3G models, last November I still had to help them get internet for WiFi. We obtained them their 3G plans before AT&T did the unlimited cut off date for plans, but my Netflix fiend Papaw kept getting calls from AT&T that he was going over his soft cap of 5GB. Now, with WiiFi at home and 3G when they drive around, they could never be happier.
The most recent family member to get one was my sixty one year old Mom. She had been wanting one for a while, but had not really wanted to take the plunge. She already owned a low end laptop for basic things. I kept telling her as soon as the demand for the iPad 2 died down, I would be happy to help her get one, but she just kept politely saying it would be okay.
The weekend before this last, she called to tell me there was something wrong with her computer. I drove out to help her check on it. My brother had talked her into buying a Dell laptop, and to put it bluntly it was a P.O.S. The thing had issues ever since she got it two years ago. It crashed all the time, power adapter went out twice, her WiFi Air card kept not being recognized. It was just a plain old mess of a situation from the get go. I had tried to get her to let me help her get a Mac but she kept protesting that the Dell was fine.
When I got there, my brother had beaten me there and so I sat and watched him try to get someone from Dell Tech Support to walk him through troubleshooting. After an hour of helpless Tech Support they basically said it was dead. They went on to say he needed to mail her laptop back to them and they would repair it for a fee since it was out of warranty. I told him Mom was better off just not wasting her or his money since it was a low end model to begin with. They agreed, and my Mom said she would just check her email and stuff at work.
I was up at the Apple Store last week looking for a cable for my Mac and they had one white 32G WiFi+3G left from that morning. I got it, and took it home and surprised her with it over this past weekend. We set up her AT&T account, and she was happy as could be. She is an avid book reader, so iBooks was an instant hit. She now has no interest what so ever in getting her old laptop fixed or a new one.
So, on to the answers for your three questions:
1. I too live in Indiana. I don't know if your mother also lives in Indianapolis or a surrounding town. If she lives there in Indy, Verizon or AT&T will both work. When you start getting into the outer counties and smaller cities that's where the provider becomes important. In my town Verizon has a fewer number of towers versus AT&T. Especially in the moral rural areas of my county. I would personally go with AT&T since it's just data and not voice, but if your mother already has a Verizon Wireless account she may want to go with them. It's really not that big of an issue.
What is an issue if you plan on only doing the 3G as her sole connection is to remember that both AT&T and Verizon's plans are limited. 2GB may be enough for most people, but if she is fond of TV and Movies, Netflix will indeed eat that up over time pretty fast. As I said earlier about getting my grandparents set up, they had to eventually get internet at home so they could have WiFi do most of the usage.
One last thing about the 3G is to remember that only the 3G version has GPS chips built in. The WIFI version does not include this, instead it has WiFI assisted GPS which is obviously only active if you are near a WiFi signal.
2. AirPrint is really nice and yes it will work without the need of a computer. However, it is only on newer printers and only those which clearly state they are enabled with it. There are several models to choose from, whichever you choose though the AirPrint technology is pretty neat to say the least.
3. Yes, the Bluetooth speakers work just fine with iPad.
In closing, I think your Mom will enjoy it a lot. Just remember you will need a computer to both activate the iPad, as well as back it up and perform software updates as needed. She can download Apps and music and movies directly to her iPad once she has an iTunes account set up though. Hope some of this helps, and good luck!

I am thinking of buying an iphone for my daughter, can i use a pre-paid sim in the phone

I am thinking of buying an iphone for my daughter, can i use a pre-paid sim in the Iphone

I think T-Mobile has a month to month plan for the iPhone

I bought a 3rd ipad for my daughter in CA. I synced w/my PC to load some apps since she has no PC. Now I am in Iraq with PC and my iPad. If I buy my her iTunes gift cards, can she buy apps and music w/out using my pin and charging to my Credit card?

I bought another iPad for my daugther. Because she has no PC, I loaded her iPad with apps from My PC. Now she is in Oceanside CA. And I am in Iraq with my iPad and PC.. My question is: How can my daughter load some apps of her own? If I buy her iTunes gift cards, can she redeem them on her iPad with out using my Pin number (as that would give her access to my credit card)! I prefer to gifted her purchases, not allow her to purchase with access to my credit card. Can this be done?

well if the ipad is on your itunes account then her apps and music etc will be billed to you. but if you give her gift cards you should take off your credit card because itunes won't tell you when you are all through with your gifted money and are back to useing your credit card until after you have made a purchase

How do I set up my old ipad for my daughter and get my new ipad up and running?

I want to remove me from an older ipad and set it up for my daughter and then set up my new one.

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
You can share your books, music and apps with your daughter using the purchasing Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > purchasing Apple ID here.
Get another Apple ID using a valid e-mail address for her so that she can use the other Apple services e.g. Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime etc.
https://appleid.apple.com

Thinking of buying another iPad for Mom. Do I have to buy one with service from Verizon since I have it already,or can I just buy one with wi-fi and no service provider?

I am thinking of buying an iPad Mini or iPad Air for my Mom. Do I have to get one for my Verizon account or can I just buy a wi-fi enabled one? they are much cheaper. She has free wi-fi in her facility. Thanks!

All iPads come in wifi only or wifi + cellular. Just get the wifi version.

I want to buy an app for my daughter using my account but putting the app on hers any suggestions as to how to do this?

How can I use my appleid account to buy a gift on my daughters iPod touch that has her own appleid account?

"1) Sign out of the iTunes Store by choosing Sign Out from the Store menu in iTunes.
2) Visit the My Apple ID website at:
http://appleid.apple.com
3) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
4) Click the "Manage your account" link.
5) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
6) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. Look at your shipping addresses at the bottom. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit.
7) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
8) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
9) Click Log out in the upper-right corner.
When you make your next iTunes Store purchase, you will be asked to review your billing information. At that point, you can change your information or simply click Done. After that, you should be able to purchase items."
I had the same problem once although I wasn't in a different country.
