I'm looking at buying an IPad and was wondering if it has the capacity to replace a video camera.

I'm looking at buying an IPad and was wondering if it has the capacity to replace a video camera.  I'm looking at the 128GB version and I know there are many variables.  But I'm thinking that it should hold at least 60 mintues of video before needing it to be downloaded.  Thoughts?

If you want to record good video, get a camera.
iPads can record video but they lack almost all other useful features of a dedicated camera - eg a decent lens, the ability to zoom, reasonable audio, removable media, small form factor .... and on and on.

  • Football manager handheld: I am playing a game of this on my iPad and was wondering if I can get the same game on my iPhone when I go out the house? Is there a way of syncing them together so the same game is on both devices?

    Is there a way of syncing my game to bothe devices an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2 bro!

    You can sync the saves between devices by using the Apple sharing through iTunes to copy save games (and other items) on and off from a device.
    - Connect your iPod/iPad/iPhone to your computer
    - Open iTunes, then select the device in the panel at the left
    - Select 'Apps' then at the bottom you should notice an area called 'File Sharing'
    - Select 'FM 2012' or 'FM 2011' (depending on which game you have) from the apps listed and you'll see a handful of files in the panel on the rightAny ".dat" files are saved games and you'll have up to 5 of them. "hidden.dat" is the autosave file, while "fm_save1.dat" through to "fm_save4.dat" are manually saved files named according to their position in the save slots.

  • I am thinking of buying the ipad and was wondering if my passport hard drive will connect to it so I can can movies of it?

    As above

    There are some wifi-enabled external drives that allow you to stream (but not copy) films to the iPad, you can't connect a drive via USB to the iPad.

  • Hi i am a teacher and am looking to buy an iPad - we use SIMS (this isnt compatable with an IPad) but i can log into it via a virtual desktop.  What wold be the best iPad to buy?

    hi there
    im looking to buy an ipad- we use SIMS at school and i need to be able to log into it.  I can via a virtual desktop via the college wireless netork.  I also have work on the network.  What would be the best IPAD to buy?

    You have the choice of a full size iPad or the iPad Mini...both come as either WiFi only or WiFi+cellular data service.  With the cellular data model you can see if there is a SIM available that is appropriate.  Either model is capable of attaching to a wireless network to give you access.  Neither is capable of a wired connection, must be wireless.
    So, the question is which size is the best for your personal use, and do you want cellular data access - great thing to have.  Then the decision is which storage capacity do you want...keep in mind that the iPad is not upgradable after purchase so get the storage you really want to start out.

  • I have 2 macs, 2 iPhones and am looking to buy an iPad. If I buy an app like pages or angry birds from the app store, can I install it on all of them?

    I have 2 macs, 2 iPhones and am looking to buy an iPad. If I buy an app like pages or angry birds from the app store, can I install it on all of them? Is that legal to authorize all of those devices, I think I get up to 5, so that it would work?
    Thanks

    You can buy and install on all your IOS devices, and separately buy and install on all OSX devices, so 2 purchases.

    Have new iPhone 5s and older iPad ( looking to buy new iPad ) question for both is should I hook them up to y computer and back up the computer on each devise and sink and than the next one.  The second question is should I do the I pad first cause it has photos in my email that have not been downloaded and it is one of or is the first model

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

    i am looking at buying an ipad 2, can i use my 3gs as a hotspot to access 3g internet outside of wifi zones?

    You would need to call your mobile carrier and inquire about their policies and ability for "tethering."
    Hope this helps

  • HT204053 I am looking at purchasing an iphone and we have a ipad and ipod at home all under the same apple id. I would like my daughter to have a seperate id then myself for signing in for itunes, etc...what do I need to do to make this happen.

    I am looking at purchasing an iphone and have an my daughter has an ipad at home and I want to have seperate apple ids when we use them and download and such.. What do I need to do?

    If you want her to have a new iTunes account then there are instructions on this page for how to create one : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    Or if you don't want to give credit card details then follow the instructions on this page when creating the account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    You can then use that account on the phone (Settings > iTunes & App Store for the stores, Settings > iCloud etc)
    All of your downloads from your existing account will remain tied to that account. If you want to use the same computer for syncing then you can do do, you can have more than one account authorised on a computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option), but only one account can be logged in for purchasing/downloading. But if you use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload an account's past purchases then you may tie that computer to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - so you won't be able to do any of those three things on a different account until the 90 days have completed (it shouldn't affect being able to make new purchases)

    I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

    PogoPossum,
    My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
    Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
    What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
    I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
    Does this help?

  • I have an app called cartoon HD on my iphone and this app is no longer available I am about to buy an ipad, if I back this up with the same Apple ID will it share the app to the iPad?

    You can copy the app to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - an actual backup (either on your computer's iTunes or to the cloud) doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content and settings, for a restore to work the app needs to be either in your computer's iTunes library (for and iTunes backup/restore) or still in the store (for an iCloud backup/restore). Or you could just sync the app from your computer's iTunes (which will only install the app, not any previous content)

  • What's the difference between the iPad wifi and iPad wifi   3g? Okay, so I'm planning to buy an iPad and would like to know more of the details. I know that ipad wifi   3g would offer me with internet usage anywhere and anytime.

  • I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    I am going to buy myself a MacBook Pro in the near future and was wondering if the new Retina Display model would be worth the extra cash. I will mostly be doing photo/video/music editing.

    if you're not in a big rush - why not hold off until Adobe and Microsoft releases an update to support the Retina Screen.
    Don't get me wrong - the Macbook Retina is a good and videos look great - but when it comes to Photoshop, it's a little blurry and the fonts in Excel and Word is pretty blurry too.....I own one....
    In any event, if it's something you can live with - then by all means - go for it.....
    Otherwise - get the non Retina Macbook Pro - it's cheaper, and it's user upgradeable in both RAM and Hard Drive.
    Good luck.

  • Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID?

    Can i set up my iPad and iPod to use iMessage between the two devices with the same Apple ID? SO i could iMessage if out from my iPod to my iPad at home to be viewed by a family member?

    Look into using Apple Configurator.  It's the easiest way to "reimage" and Manage iPads that I know of right now.

    Also, look into using the Educational Volume Purchase Program, if you have not already done so.
