I'm thinking of buying an ipad (1) wifi for my mom who lives in Kenya. I understand the charger is universal and will work with an adapter. Any other issues I need to know about? Will the ipad work ok?
She is 68 years old and has vision problems. My thought is that it would be eaiser for her to see than a ipod touch. She would use it for music, maybe reading, some games. I'm not sure she would be adept enough to download many apps, so we'd prbably load it up for her.
Thanks for any input!
She's going to need to update and at some point restore the iPad which requires a computer.
For vision problems she can enable zoom. Tap Settings / General / Accessibility.

So what do I need to know about using my iPad mini on public networks, say in restaurants. Will I be compromised by using passwords? What protects my iPad?
To date, the iPad/iPad mini/iPhone/iPod Touch produces have remained secure.
In a public place, you do not control the network, so be careful of what activities you perform, such as accessing your bank, or other sensitive places.
Just surfing and reading your email is generally speaking not a problem. Hopefully, your email connections are over secure SSL connections. -
Hello,
I was thinking of getting my wife an ipad mini. I use a PC with Windows 7, latest version of itunes installed. From this I have an ipad, ipod and iphone, all of which work perfectly. My question is will the ipad mini also work and be recognised as another device?
Can I put some of my existing Apps onto the mini?
Thanks in advance.Sure, but only if the new iGadget is "married" to the rest by virtue of having the same AppleID. You will be able to back up, update and upgrade its contents, apps and iOS on the iTunes application on the PC.
However, if it shares the same AppleID as the rest of your toys, she will be able to read your mail and see your messages, which could eventually lead to battles royal on who said what to whom. So beware, you have been warned. -
Can i return my ipad wifi for a wifi 3G eventhough it's engraved?
Can i return my ipad wifi for a wifi 3G even though it's engraved?
According to Apple's customer service line you can return an engraved iPad for an exchange, but it's not clear if it's within 14 or 30 days. If you call they says 30, but their site says 14. I think it has to be purchased straight through Apple though. Contact where you bought it from and tell them you are thinking of buying a iPad and having it engraved, but are concerned about the refund policy. They'll explain it in more detail at that time.

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?
Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
Try this.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

what's wrong with the activation server? i just bought my ipad wifi celllular... and have a 3g cellular network connection... when i press the bottom to activate my ipad it says the activation server cannot be reached. what to do then?
Hey aries35,
I found the following that goes over troubleshooting the same issue for the iPhone. I know you have an iPad, but the steps should still apply:
Perform the following steps:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

I just started using the Pages app on my iPad2. Two questions: 1. Do I have to buy the Pages iPhone app separately or will the iPad version sync to my iPhone 3GS? 2. Am I able to sync Pages docs created on my iPad2 for viewing/editing on my iPhone 3GS?
You can use the File Sharing feature at the bottom of the iTunes Apps pane when you connect to iTunes. Transfer the documents to your computer, and from there to your iPhone.
See pages 44-45 of the iPad iOS4.3 User Guide
Or page 59 of the iPhone iOS4 User Guide -
I am getting ready to order a iPad 3 wifi 4g from USA. I need to take it to India. Will the iPAD 3 work ? And when i pre order do i go with the AT&T since it has the gsm ?
Please let me know.
thanks
KunalI would since it is more global than Verizon. AT&T works in more than 200 countries worldwide. Also talk to AT&T about an International Data Plan for it so your wireless statement will not be as high without it.

my friend is getting me an ipad 2 from us (atnt model). Will the same work in India. Do i need to get it activated by ATNT first to make it usable here?
iPads are not pre-activated by the store unless you ask them to do so - but I think that they will only activate the iPad itself, I don't think that they will activate 3G on it for you. It will come with an AT&T micro-sim (which I think is already installed in the iPad but I'm not sure), but it is left to the customer to activate any 3G service that they want.
A number of people buy the 3G iPad without ever activating 3G on it - they just want the built-in GPS functionality which the wifi-only model doesn't have (only the 3G version has a built-in GPS chip). -
When will the iPad mini be available online? I need to purchase it soon for school!
When will the iPad mini be available to purchase online? It says in-store only! It's been like that for the past 2 weeks!
I am in the same boat. I have a $300.00 gift card that I want to put towards a 64 GB Verizon iPad Mini.
The Apple store shows them shipping in 1 week for quite a while now. How is it that Best Buy has none of these for a long time now? I mean they are a retailer of Apple Products Right?
I think I will just sell my gift card and be done with them. It will much less of a headache to just buy from Apple.
I hate these store gift cards !!!!!!!!!!!! -
I have many phones on my account. I am not eligible for upgrade but I had to buy two new phones for others. Can I give one of them my old iPhone 4 and take the 4gs? Thinking maybe switch sim cards? Thanks in advance for any help
Yes.
Just call your provider and tell them what you want and they will help you get it done properly. -
I was trying to update my ipad operating system and I thought it was done. When I disconnected it from my computer the ipad went blank then the apple logo appeared midscreen with an elongated oval across the screen under it. Now nothing on the ipad works. I think it was backed up on my computer but I can't find anything that will allow me to sync the two or regain functionality on my ipad. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I would put the ipad in recovery mode and redo the update, once that is done you could restore the ipad from your backup and you would not lose any data.
