I am planning to buy an iPad. I already have an iPhone and a Macbook Pro. Should I wait for the new iOS 8 to arrive?
Greetings,
I am wondering about the upgrade coming up, to iOS 8. Should that affect whether I buy and iPad now, or not?
No, it shouldn’t. Unless you’re getting a first generation iPad(which isn’t capable of running iOS 8), you’ll be able to update for free.

I am about to buy my first Macbook Pro, should I wait for the possibility for a 2015 macbook, or just get the most recent model currently? (9-22-14)
No one knows if there will be a new model and if so, when that would be. However, there always will be something bigger, better, and newer around the corner, so you'd be waiting forever.
Buy it when you want or need it.
FWIW, here are the specs of the latest models (which happen to be mid 2014):

Should i wait for the new i pad or buy the current one
should i get the new ipad 2 or should i wait for the ipad 3?
No iPad 3 has been announced yet. If the current iPad does what you need, and you can afford it, then you might as well get one now and start getting use out of it - unless you want to wait an unknown number of months for a un-spec'd/unnounced product

Should i buy macbook Pro now??? or wait for the new model in 2012..???
i want to buy MacBook Pro....so... should i wait for the new model or???
Your question is analogues to the same situation if you were contemplating the purchase of a new car.
If you need one and the current model satisfies your needs, purchase it. If the current crop does not satisfy your needs you certainly can wait for a new model, but there is no guarantee that the new model will have features that will fulfill your expectations.
In short, your choices are dealing with the known vs unknown possibilities.

I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?
Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts -
I have just purchased an ipad 2 (already have an ipad1) and after syncing through itunes it will not connect to my home wifi. The first one connected immediately after setup. This one indicates my wifi accpimt bit states not connected. Help!
What make, model and version router do you have?
Is MAC address filtering turned ON in your router?
Do you have a limit on the number of connections set in your router?
What type of security are you using, i,e, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Have you tried restarting your router? (remove power for 30 seconds and restart)
Does your iPad 2 work on any other networks? Starbucks, Borders, etc -

We have three iPhones but one Apple ID because I pay for the acct whenever we buy Apps or music. However, it's frustrating that when we share iCloud it merges our notes and contacts even if we say "DO NOT MERGE." I've also lost my notes but could not recover them even if I did a restore.
You can share the same iTunes ID on all your devices and still have different iCloud accounts with different IDs on them. The ID you use for iTunes does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
If you want to migrate your devices to separate accounts, on the devices that will be moving save any photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. Also email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, go to the iWork app settings and turn off iCloud syncing.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once the phones are all on separate accounts you can then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account. -
Reasons to get an iPad when I have an iPhone and Macbook?
Hello all!
I've been contemplating getting an iPad for awhile now. I already have an iPhone (4) and an older MacBook (a mid-2009 white one running OS 10.5.8), and I also have an Amazon Kindle (first generation). So what I'm wondering is...what does the iPad offer that my other gadgets don't? I don't want to buy it simply because I think it's cool, you know? If iPad users with other Apple/eBook products could help me out, that would be great.
Thanks!
ChristinaI didn't say that I couldn't think of a reason. I was simply asking iPad users about the features that are unique to the iPad; things that they cannot do on their other apple devices, or things they prefer to do on the iPad for x reason. Thanks.

I locked my iPad and I don't want to wait for the time limit. How can I reset it?
My brothers locked my iPad and I can't wait for the time limit to unlock it. Is there a way to reset it?
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

iPad 2
Well, it depends how long you can wait. We can't discuss rumors on here about release dates.
Look at what you actually need though and decide how soon you need something.
What you'll want to realize is that every year or two something new will come out.. so you have to learn to fight off the "I need the new one" bug if you want to be satisfied with your purchase. At your age you probably won't get the opportunity to upgrade for a while, so you'll have to learn to live with your purchase decision longer.
If the iPad 2 in it's current state does everything you want, and you enjoy playing around on it a lot, I'd get it now and be happy. If you feel like you want the newest of the new and are willing to wait (in line and for it to release) then you should wait for the next release.
The iPad 2s are finally becoming available after many months backlog, so keep in mind the next release will likely be the same way and think if you could really wait that long to get something.
Alternatively you could also consider getting a used iPad 1, then use that while waiting for the next version. The used one could then be resold for a fair amount once the new one comes out. Apple products tend to have a pretty good resale value, and the iPads are extraordinarily popular. -
The new software update - iOS 7.0.2 is killing the battery in my iPad. I have searched online and taken the recommended measures to decrease battery use, but within hours my iPad is completely dead. It would take days to kill the battery before this update. I am very frustrated. Can I undo this update???
This typically happens when some apps on the phone were interrupted by the upgrade. When it comes back up the app tries to resume and can not. You have to find and kill that app(s).
Do you have an Exchange account?
That is usually the culprit. Go into Settings and turn off all of the toggles for the Exchange account. Then reset the phone (hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears). When the phone powers back on, turn the toggles back on.
Do the same for all mail accounts if you don't have Exchange or that doesn't resolve the issue.
If it is not Exchange/Mail then it could be another app(s).
With iOS 7 you can control what apps run in the background. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh. This will list all of the apps that can run in background. Turn them all off and restart. If this fixes the problem turn on a few at a time until you find the one causing the trouble. -
Is it smart to buy the ipad 2 now or should i wait for the ipad 3
I have the ipad 1, and have been looking to upgrade, i like apple, as i have bought almost all of their products and was wondering if it wwould be worthy to buy the ipad2 or wait for ipad3?
Apple's pattern has been to announce new iPad models in March. Whether or not they will hold to that pattern no one here can say, but unless you're desperate to upgrade right now, I see no harm in waiting a couple of weeks and see if the rumors about the next release are true and Apple keeps to the pattern.

Should I buy the MBP retina now or wait for the new one?
Hey
I wanna buy a new MBP retina 15" before my uni starts in fall so after like a month and a half. I already have a 2011 MBP but wanna get a new and better one so I am just wondering what is the latest 15" retina by Apple? and when is the approximate date for the release of new retinas? like I mean if Apple has a date for new releases like it has for iPhone and iPad usually like to know if it worth waiting or not
ThanksI haven't heard anything as far as a new retina models. I just upgraded from a 13" mid 2012 non-retina pro to a 13" late 2013 retina pro. Either way I don't think there will be any major improvements to their retina pros if they do release a new one in the fall. I would say go ahead and get your retina now. Also Apple has a reuse and recycle program along with a student discount. You can take your old mac in and possibly get a store credit towards a new one but I doubt you'll get a huge discount. For my last MacBook, I would only have gotten about $350. But make sure you get what you need in it when you buy it because you can't upgrade the parts.

I was quite disappointed when I read their will be no iOS 6 for first gen iPads and am curious as to if they are gonna just stop upgrading it all together, cause if so that's a bit crazy after two years they pretty much just drop the product?? What I want to know is, is there going to be any more updates for the iPad one at all, to update the security features browsing and stuff like that (not all the fancy FaceTime or seri and what not just the basic iPad 1 stuff)? Cause if not that's is a MAJOR waist of money. $800 for two years of use???
While none of us here can say with certainly, it's likely that iOS 5.1.1 is the last version of iOS that an iPad 1 will run.
As to a "waste of money", has your iPad stopped working just because a new version of iOS was released that the iPad won't run? Our iPad 1s haven't just ceased fallen over, even though they can only run iOS 5.1.1, and are in valuable use every day. But perhaps yours did indeed somehow stop being useful. If so, I'd recommend selling it and buying something else that you think would better suit your expectations.
Regards.
