I have the new iPad and am looking at this product as a external hard drive (Can I pictures /videos or any other file wirelessly to the conected hard drive attached to the airport ????

CAn I write files to the hard drive conected to the airport extreme?

It is technically possible, but not out of the box - and limited.
How-to:
Once you have setup the USB-Drive on the Aiport Extreme and configured sharing you need an app on the iPhone/iPad. I have successfully used "GoodReader". However there might be others/better.
(In Goodreader the Airport Extreme should show up on the right hand bottom as AFP if your iPad and Airport Extreme are on the same WLAN.)
The limit however is:
- Works ONLY with files IN the Goodreader app (NO iPhotos, iBooks, ...)
- can only MOVE files/folders to/from the harddisk or delete them (can automatically sync, which might be nice)
- can NOT open files ON the harddisk - needs to download to iPad first
- can NOT create folders on the harddisk either
- nor can you move them around on the harddisk, it's always download/upload to the iPad first
Unfortunately I haven't found anything better. From memory:
Samsungs Goflex Satellite and Kensingtons Wi...something (could be wifi, not sure now) can only "stream" stuff to the iPad - and they too need an(other) app for that!
However if somebody knows anything better - I'd be eager to know, :-)

Nothing will load unter the features or charts tab so i cant download any apps. Purchased and updates tab loads fine. Any suggestions?

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

HT4137 I have a new ipad and an old Iphone 3G I'm still using - Should I use the old Iphone to restore data to ipad or set up ipad as "new", which it is?

I have a new IPad and I'm trying to set it up - I don't know whether I should set it up as "new" (which it is) or use my
old IPhone 3G (which I still am using) to "restore" data to the Ipad - any suggestions?

Try restore from iPhone first. If you don't like the restore, you can setup your iPad to Factory Default.
Restore to Factory Default (setup as new):
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

What password are you refering to? A passcode lock on the ipad itself or the password for your apple id?
If its a pascode lock, then:
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
If its your apple id, then:

I have a new iPad and I'd like to upload my Microsoft Office from my desktop MAC so that I can sync them. Is that possible?

I have a new iPad and I'd like to upload my Microsoft Office from my MAC desktop so I can sync them. Is that possible?

Boyd is correct. You cannot install your Mac OS MS Office to the iPad and there is no official MS Office app.
I am assuming you want to edit Office documents on youy iPad. There are three apps that I would recommend you looking at. Please note that no app is going to give you the same experience as a desktop app.
1) Documents To Go by Dataviz - This is the one I have used since my Palm days. You can edit Word, Excel and Power Point documents. There are two versions. The basic one ($9.99) allows you to edit Word and Excel documents. The Premium version ($16.99) allows you to edit Word, Excel and Power Point documents. It also allows you to use Google Docs, Dropbox, Box.net, iDisk and Sugarsync.
2) Quickoffice is another popular choice. ($14.99) I do not have personal experience with this one, but alot of people have said it is a good app.
3) The last one is Office^2 ($7.99 http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id364361728?mt=8) Again I do not have personal experience with this one, but he has gotten some good reviews.
If you are want an app to just view your documents, I would highly recommend looking at Goodreader for iPad. It allows you to view many types of file. It will also allow you to annotate PDF documents.
Good luck!!

I have a new iPad, and it wants to load all my old emails

I have a new ipad and now that I have added my gmail account to the pad, it thinks that all the old emails (12K) that I have read on my macbook should be treated as new emails. Is there a way to do a mass NO so that I don't keep getting the message "you have ... unread messages, do you want to download them now?"

Sounds like it is iMap, which functions by synchronizing clients (your Macs) to its server, the behaviour you're seeing is normal.
I guess the next question is 'how can I change that'
Make a folder outside of the iMap structure and move mail into it
And
I believe you can limit the iPad (only) to a fixed amount of mail (time delimited) to download, look in the settings for your Gmail account (on the iPad)

I have a new Ipad and was trying to sync from Itune what is on my Iphone. It keeps saying "Ipad can't be used Apple Moble device service isn't started". ???? help It also said that on my Iphone just now when I was trying to connect to Itunes.

Right click 'computer' in your PC/laptop (whichever). Click 'Manage', then 'Services and Applications', then 'Services', you should see 'Apple Mobile Device' running or stopped. If you couldn't find 'Apple Mobile Device', it means you haven't download iTunes into your PC/laptop (whichever).

I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive. The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

I have an iPad that I use from work that is about 2 yrs old. I now have a new iPad and I have an iPhone 5. The older iPad has no problem connecting to my home or work internet on its own. However my iPhone and iPad do. Any ideas why?

I have a 2yr old iPad from work. And a iPhone 5 and I have a new iPad of my own now. (Not the air). My work iPad picks up wifi were ever I go. My iPhone and new iPad have trouble. I can't even get them to do it in my own house. Shouldn't they just connect automatically ?

Once you connect to the Wifi Network once, then the iPhone or iPad remembers it and attempts to connect automatically in the future, but you have to tap to connect to that Wifi the first time. Like the first time you get on your home wifi, or the first time you go the a certain hotel, etc.
Now, one you navigate to Settings > Wifi and tap on the network you wish to connect to, if you are having issues there, use this article to help you: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
