If you have an older iPad is it worth the money to get a new one?

I have the IPAD 2 and i was just wondering if one of the newer iPads was worth getting.

Do you use your iPad? Or does it sit there, ignored most of the time? Do you look for new games and apps and run into ones that aren't running so well?
Do you want to keep your apps updated? (eventually, whenever iOS9 comes out there will start to be apps with limited to no backwards compatibility)
I'm guessing that your 2 is running fine. Do you have the money and inclination to upgrade now? Or do you want to wait until your 2 dies?
Is your iPad something you plan to keep using? Or is it something you find sitting there for days on end?

  • I gave my wife my old iPad and it has the same name as my new one. How do I change the name of the old one to allow to have different content on our iPads?

    I gave my wife my old iPad when I bought an iPad 2. Both devices have the same name. Will this affect backups of our different contents?

    It's easy to rename each unit.  When you connect your iPad and it syncs, the unit will appear on the left of the iTUnes screens just click on the unit there and you can rename it.  You should do this immediately so you can see which unit was backed up by it's name. You can sync as many decices as you want in one iTunes library and you can even share Apps as long as you're going to sync both from teh same iTunes account.  My household has 2 iPad 2s and we share our apps, and we also share downloaded books, magazines, music, etc.......

    I was having the same problem, unable to find my trash can. I did everythnig suggested in this post to no avail. Then I discovered if you hover to the far right of RECENT you will see either "Show" or "Hide"  "Show" reveals the following, including the trash. I'm sheepish that the solution was so easy but delighted to report that after viewing AND emptying my trash, I gained 55 GB on my HD.

  • Why do my animated themes only work the first time I open the window? Every one that I have tried stops animating if I close the window and open a new one.

    The headline pretty much sums up my problem. Basically, I picked a few different animated themes to try out in the Add-Ons section to personalize my browser window. They look great initially, and in the window that is open when I actually enable the theme. However, if I close that window and open a new one, the theme is stationary and no longer animates.

    Sorry......I was just too impulsive. ( Maybe because it was 4 AM at Taiwan, and I was still trying to solve the problem= = )
    Although to install the add-on "Personas Shuffler" can solve the problem to me, I don't think it was the BEST solution. This evening, I read why the add-on "Personas Shuffler" was made, and found that the BEST solution is:
    1. Open a new tab, and type "about:config" at the URL bar, then search for "lightweightthemes" with the filter.
    2. Change the values of "lightweightThemes.persisted.footerURL" and "lightweightThemes.persisted.headerURL" from true to false( by double click on them).
    3. After doing so, restart Firefox and you will see it works! You don't have to install any add-on.

    Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

  • Re: I get an error message you have an older version of Bonjour and it cannot be updated. I need to update my itunes but because of bonjour i can't.  please help

    Re: I get an error message when I tried to install the lastest version of itunes.  The error message is you have an older version of Bonjour and it cannot be updated.  I went to control panel and repair the bonjour from programs but it won't let me undate it.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I have an older Ipad that won't come on to the passcode screen. It's just a black screen. What can I do with it?

    I have an older Ipad that won't come on to the passcode screen. The screen is black like it is trying to come on, but it doesn't. I tried hooking it up to Itunes, but since it has a lock on it I can not get it to do anything. Is there anything that I can do with it at this point? I have tried doing the hard reboot, but nothing comes up on the screen. The one time that it did come on the colors were very distorted. TIA

    Google for DFU mode and try that.

  • I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!
