I want to buy an iPad for my children for Christmas. Will they be able to play games and get on the Internet with this? Also, will they automatically be able to get on the Internet or will I have to purchase some kind of package?

Yes, they can play games - there are hundreds if not thousands of games available in the iTunes Store. Beware of the "free" games; many are free for the base game but charge for things like additional levels, "coins" etc. and those paid add-ons can add up quickly, to dozens or even in some cases hundreds of dollars. I'd strongly suggest you set up restrictions on the iPad to prevent your children from making unauthorized purchases. See:
http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonehowtos/ht/Using-Iphone-Content-Restrictions.htm
You will need an Internet provider of some sort; Apple is not a provider and so the iPad does not include a data service. You can either use a home Internet connection with a WiFi access point (aka "router") or you can get an iPad with WiFi+Cellular and sign up for a data plan with a cell carrier. WiFi through a home Internet service will probably be cheaper.

I want to buy an Ipad , my usage would be apps like Guitar Pro, iRig, a few books and a few games. would 16gb be sufficient?

I've always had 16GB iDevices and have personally never had any problem with running out of space. You definitely do not need to keep everything on the device (like 2-3 weeks or more of solid music playback). You can always offload what you don't need on the device to your PC and have plenty of space. If you mange your memory, you will always have enough...and I've always had enough, even with a "paltry" 16GB. Others may feel differently.

HT1386 how can i do this in the itunes 11? the "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi" option is not available in the summary

the "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi" option is not available in the summary part on the new itunes. Anyone know where this option is on itunes 11?

If you feel misled then that is how you feel and I understand that. You are entitled to feel that way. But the iPad DOES work with Leopard 10.5.8 but you have to sync with the cable. When I bought my iPad1 - I was using a MacBook running 10.5.8. I upgraded to Snow Leopard in anticipation of the next generation of Apple iDevices and this past Christmas I received a new MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7. I still have the MacBook running Snow Leopard and my wife uses that one as her own laptop now.
As the iPad became more popular - users cried for a PC free device as well and now the iPad is PC free as long as you are running iOS 5. So apple has provided a way to use an iPad without the need for a computer at all. I really believe that Apple has provided a way for many people to take advantage of their newest device and it does not necessitate the purchase of a new computer or OS.
I am by no means defending Apple, but I think they have done a pretty amazing job with a device that is still just under two years old. It is still "backwards" compatible with two older versions of Mac Operating systems and with two MS operating systems as well.
I realize that everybody cannot dump their current computer and OS every time a new device hits the market, but at some point, software is upgraded, computers are upgraded and new phones, MP3 players, iPods, and iPads are released. Unfortunately, if you want the latest and greatest technology, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and spend the money.

Hi All! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but torn between wifi or wifi cellular. Can I use for sure, my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad if I get the ipad wifi only? And if yes, is the signal/connection good? Thank you.

Hi all! I have an iphone 4s. I want to buy an ipad but I'm torn between wifi or wifi+cellular because of the price difference. Can I really use my iphone 4s as the wireless hotspot for my ipad? If yes, is the signal good and fast? Thank you for your response.

Yes you can if:
1: Your cellular provider offers a data tethering option.
2: You have subscribed to this option.
Speed will be as it is with your existing iPhone.

I want to buy an ipad for someone that lives in Brazil. Which carrier should i buy so that it will work with the carriers in Brazil?

Look, any officially unlocked GSM iPhone will work in India. You purchase from Dubai, no FaceTime, and Dubai is part of the UAE. You purchase anywhere but India, and you will have NO warranty or support. Frankly, doesn't make any sense to me why you want to do this...and don't bother telling me you save hundreds of dollars...still doesn't make any sense. Do a forum search here. We get posts daily, from users in India, who didn't purchase their iPhones in India...guess what? They all have problems. You want to join that bunch? It's your money, have at it.

I want to loan my ipad to my husband for the summer. If I back it up, restore to factory settings and then load it is if it is his will i be able to get all my apps back?

I want to loan my ipad to my husband for the summer. If I back up my ipad, reset my ipad to its factory settings and then load it on his imac will I be able to get my apps back later?

You can backup your iPad to your computer then after that restore it to its factory default. Your husband will be able to use it like a brand new iPad and when he is done then you can plug it back into your computer and restore it to your backup. Everything should be there for you.

I am in Singapore.I want to buy a ipad on Apple Store online.How to apply for tax refund?

I am in Singapore.I want to buy a ipad on Apple Store online.How to apply for tax refund?

It is easier to get it from the Apple Reseller. They are all over Singapore.
Alternatively, you can get it from the Apple Reseller at Terminal 3 at the airport.
Tell them you must have the GST refund form.

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for Lion, and I have Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow leopard?

I wanted to buy a Dragon ,Speech Recognition Programme for Mac but it says its for OS Lion, and I have OS Snow Leopard. Would it have worked on Snow Leopard?

The simplest method would be to ask them for their Snow Leopard version and say you can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8. I'm almost sure they will sell you a copy.
Generally if your machine can only upgrade to 10.7 Lion and not directly to 10.8 Mountain Lion, then it's best left on 10.6.8. in my opinion as your going to loose too much other software and slow down your machine in the process.
This rapid OS X upgrade cycle has caused plenty of problems for users and developers alike, so I suspect you will find a sympathizer with the developer.
In fact I'm not recommending Mac's to anyone anymore because Apple simply has lost touch with reality.

US iPads are not locked to a carrier. Don't buy a Verizon or Sprint model, though.

I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see. The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video. What can I do to be able to get these videos?

Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):

And Perian for everything else:

You should be able to play most videos with QuickTime player once both are installed.

From your screen name would it be safe to guess that you will be using it in Egypt? If your carrier uses is a GSM network you can do as Chris suggests.
From the Apple page http://www.apple.com/eg/buy/ there is a link to Arab Buisness Machine, they sell the iPad 2 and offer local support should any problems arise.

Either will work fine in Central Asia as loge ad the carries support GSM (almost all do).
One of the iPads will only work with the AT&T GSM) network if you are in the USA and the Other with the Virizon network (uses CDMA, not GSM/SIM) if you are in the USA

Google can be your friend. Watch this YouTube video as it appears you can tether a Blackberry to an iPad.
