I am thinking of purchasing iPad mail-order.

I am thinking of purchasing iPad mail-order. (128GB, Wifi + 3G)
Primarily, to save on the sales tax. I have two main concerns:
I don't “do” stuck pixels. I've only had this happen to me once, and the Apple Store cheerfully replaced my 30 inch display for my Mac Pro. It looks like the iPad seller that Amazon uses has a 12% restocking fee (within seven days). Obviously this is a bigger hassle than returning it to the Apple Store (and more expensive to).
I understand that pixel problems are becoming more rare. Have you heard of stuck pixels with the iPad?
I have purchased several iPhones at Apple stores. They do a lot of keyboarding and asking of questions, but I do walk out the door with a working phone.
Obviously, if I purchase the iPad mail-order I have do any setup myself. I plan to get the (Wifi + 3G) model. Just how hard is it for the _average person_ (not the Apple super-techno-genius likely to be reading this) to "get it going".
Is it true that there are no unlimited data plans, like I have on my iPhones? (Having to even "think about" data usage is depressing.)
Thanks for your advice.

Actually, most persons don't realize that it's actually a "Sales and Use" tax. If the seller doesn't collect the tax, +the purchaser is still responsible+ to pay it if the item is used within the state. This is true in every state and it applies if the purchase is through the Internet or by mail order or by the purchaser physically traveling to an out-of-state store.
The state has the power to require that an Internet or mail order seller collect the tax IF the seller has physical (brick & mortar) presence in the state. That's why the major players like Apple and the department stores do collect sales tax. They have presence everywhere. Smaller outfits collect the tax only in selected states (where they do have presence).
The main difference is in enforceability. The law can be enforced if the seller has presence in the state or if the item must be registered for use in the state (like a car).

  • I am thinking about purchasing an ipad

    I am thinking about purchasing an ipad, however a major concern of mine is the Kindle app and if the ipad has the text to speech feature

    Yes, there is a Kindle App (at least in the US). It syncs with your Amazon account for download purposes, but you cannot make purchases from it.
    There is a dictation feature.

  • Yahoo! email does not load through ipad Mail app.

    I'm using an iPad mini and for about 1 week now the built-in Mail app does not retrieve my Yahoo! email.  When I click on the Mail icon a blank screen comes up -- no error message, no nothing, just a blank screen.  I have to use the browser to access my Yahoo! email.  I have tried deleting and re-establishing my Yahoo! email account.  I have tried re-establishing my network connection.  I have tried restoring my iPad to factory settings.  I have switched my default email account to G-mail and I receive my email just fine through the built-in app.  But Yahoo! is my primary account and I cannot get my email.  This just started in the last week.  Prior to this I have been receiving Yahoo! email just fine through the built-in app for 3 years.  But now nothing.    Also, the mail app recognizes I have new mail because the little red number pops up when new mail arrives.  But in order to retrieve the mail I have to go to the browser, and once the mail is read, the little red number disappears.
    I contacted Yahoo! support and they suggested I set up an app password if I use two-step verification.  But I don't use two-step verification.  Then they suggested checking my IMAP settings, but IMAP settings aren't accessible (that I know of) through the iPad mini settings.  So I just re-established the network settings to no avail.
    I can't help but think this is a Yahoo! email server issue, but Yahoo! doesn't mention that.
    Someone please help!

    Yahoo mail works on my Mac desktop & laptop, plus my iPad 2.

  • My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

    My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

    If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
    In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

  • How to select multiple recipients in iPad mail

    I have read that I can't create groups, but how to select multiple recipients in iPad mail?
    I was looking for this when setting up for two new people who are going to have the iPad as their only device.. and they do need to email a bunch of people at once..
    I was sending out the 'I have a new email address' BCC for them.
    Thanks.

    You can select multiple contacts by tapping on the + sign in the upper right corner in the To: field when you are typing a new email. Just keep tapping the + sign and your contacts will pop up in a window. Select the contact that you want to add, repeat the process in order to add as many recipients as you want.
    There are other mail apps that let you creat groups and email to those groups.

  • Purchase Requisition for Order BOM components ?

    Dear Members :
    Can I generate purchase requisition for Order BOM components from VA01 ? Mine is TAQ - the header itm cat and TAE for sub-items (finished prod) . While navigating within Sales Order and branching to a particular component's shced. line - the pruch req col is blank. The schedule line cat for the sub-item is CT.
    Could someone please explain the configuration steps I need to maintain for the above ? What I am expecting is when I save the Sales Order it should create Purch Req for the components which do not have enough stock.
    Thanks
    Atanu

    Hi :
    Thanks for your advice. Couple of things :
    1. In my system in auto acc assignment, I already have consumption acc under posting key GBB. Now I am getting error in VA01 - which states that "The system was not able to determn a consumption acc for purchase order item with acc assignment" and also suggesting to address "GBB posting key". I made the following changes for CT :
        movt : 101
        order type : NB
        item cat : 0
        acc assignment cat : F/C
    2. Obviously SAP is expecting a consumption GL acc, which though is there under GBB-AUF from my existing setup. For generating purch req this is strange becoz I haven't yet gone upto PO generation step nor released the supposed to be Purch Req.  for BOM component - and this is before I save the Sales Order .
    3. In spro->acc grouping for mov type; I don't see the following combination in SAP  ie,
    101(MvT) - B (MvT) - GBB (TEKey) - AUF. I need B instead of F which is already there and is for production order but the BOM comp has to be for PO but the combination is not there.
    Do you think this could be the reason that SAP couldn't find the GL acc ?
    4. Also my purpose was not just to raise a purch req every time the sales order is created for the BOM components - only if there is shortage in stock - but then again for CT once I assign the above, it doesn't allow to check the boxes like Availbility , Requrmnt etc. (??)
    Am I clear and could you please suggest me what I am missing or doing wrong ? What movement type do you siggest to enter in CT fields.
    Thanks so much for your time.

  • Can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

    I suspect you can't, but just checking: can you change the default font in an iPad mail account?

    There is no way to change the default font in the mail app. You can make the type larger by using the accessibility feature of larger text. Settings>General>Accessibility>Larger Text. There is an app that allows you to add fonts to the iPad, but I do not think this works with the built in iOS apps such as mail.
    You can check it out.

  • Do I need to purchase iwork in order to use it?

    I have an iphone5 and ipad mini, and I am using tthe free 5G icloud. I wanted to save other things than just pictures on the icloud. Do i have to purchase iwork in order to use it and if so are ther any other free options available to save docs to icloud? Oh, I'm using Windows 7
    Also can I store movies on Icloud at all?

    Hi DewDah,
    As Steve indicated, the app cannot be purchased for Windows. If you have an iDevice, you can purchase the app for the device. And you can also share Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) from you PC with iWork documents (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) on your iDevice and vice versa:
    http://www.apple.com/iwork/compatibility/
    Take a look at the video in this link. It will show you how you would be able to share the documents. Once they are in the iWork format, they would be saved to iCloud as long as you have the Documents & Data option turned on in Settings>iCloud on your device.
    Cheers,

  • Do clients have to purchase contribute in order to update site?

  • Hide user picture in iPad mail client

    Hi all,
    I apologize in advance if this is a really simple question, but it's been getting on my nerves a whole lot lately. I must have configured my email ages ago to come with a user picture, and now I'd love to find a way to remove it. I just find the idea of sending my picture to anyone who accesses their email via iPad rather creepy. Here's a screenshot attachment so you can see what I am talking about.
    Hope someone has the answer to this mystery!

    By Hypertext you mean a hyperlink that is using text with the hyperlink underline rather than the http:// address itself? I don't think you can in mail, there might be a third party mail application that would allow you though.

    iCloud will only sync devices on the same account. There is no way around having to purchase more storage, unfortunately for you.

    Hi gjmnz.
    Think you're right. Seem to be an valid explanation, tho not practical. But that's just the way they named it....
    Will check some "missing" loops now, to hopefully find that everything is in place.
    Thanks for clarifying.
