Ipad 2 as a present.

My mom has mentioned she wants an ipad 2, so I decided I ll buy her one but Im not sure what size to get her. She says she would want to watch movies and tv shows, have some music ( Im not sure how much. On her last ipod nano she didnt have much.). Since shes a student she mentioned having some references books maybe and possibly doing research on it as well as typing up paper (Ive heard you can do this and Ive heard you cant so Im not sure if thats even a possibility). As far as apps go shes not sure what she would get but knows for sure she would get apps for her 4 almost 5 year old and then some for her as well.
Any advice would be a huge help as Im completely lost here.

First, make sure her computer meets the iPad's minimum requirements.

If she wants to be able to print, she'll need an AirPrint compatible printer. Apple - iPad - Print right from your iPad with AirPrint.
I agree with Eric on storage space. 32GB should be fine.

I want to use 2 ipad 2 devices to present in a one-on-one situation. I would hand an ipad 2 to my customer and go through a presentation controlling what he/she sees with my ipad 2. Is that possible?

I want to use 2 ipads 2 devices as presentation tools in a one-on-one siuation. I want to cotrol what my customer sees on his/her ipad2 (that I would hand to him/her) through the ipad 2 that I would be using. Is that possible?

This IS possible. Take a look at Fuze Meeting HD and Mobile Presenter Pro on the App Store. Fuze Meeting HD was featured in an iPad commercial, in fact.

How can I sync multiple iPads together for a presentation?

I have multiple ipads. I'd like to give a presentation with all the attendees viewing the presentation on each ipad. Each attendee would be given an ipad to view the presentation. The presenter would control the presentation from their iphone or ipad. How can I do this? Is there a way to sync all ipads together. Preferablly over bluetooth. Help please!

If the presenter is using a computer and everyone else has an iPad this is very easy and free. Just use http://join.me and on the iPad just download their free app

Whenever I switch on my iPad Air , I am presented with a full screen of a blue sky, white clouds and stars, which I cannot get out of. How do I do so?

Sorry, please ignore this question. I have just realised that the answer is the same as the one I recieved to a previous similar one.

How can you screen your iPad on a keynote presentation? Just like Apple did in last years WWDC when they demo iOS 5 how do they do that

How can you screen your iPad on a Keynote presentation just like Apple?
Like when they had last years WWDC when they demoed iOS 5 on the iPod Touch 4G
Can you do that with an iPad 2?

AL113-
Mirroring refers to normal operation of the iPad, where you can see the Home screen on your external display, as well as when setting up a slide show, et cetera. You may not need to mirror the iPad's display for presentations (but the iPad 2 does mirror). At least for slide shows and videos, the iPad 2's screen does not show the presentation when an AV cable is connected, it only appears on the external screen.
The alternative I mentioned about using the Apple TV box with AirPlay is probably easier to do, except you need the Apple TV box to interface to your external display. One problem with an AV adapter, is that the weight of its cable tends to pull the connector out of the iPad as you are holding it.

Why after transfer from iPad mini To iPad 3 a Keynote presentation changes duration of slides?

After transfer the presentation is not the same.

Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

IPad/Keynote Self-guided presentation

Setting up a self-guided tour of a non-profit car museum using Keynote on IPads that will be lent to visitors who prefer a self-guided tour instead of a human-guided docent tour. Everything looks promising with a hyperlink-only presentation that is shaping up. (I am disapointed in a couple of missing features in IOS Keynote that are present in Keybote 09 however: ability to add voice-over narration or sound tracks to separate pages, and the ability to do "smart-builds" for multiple image slide shows. The first can be done in Keynote 09 and import to IOS but the second won't even import.)
I have found that a links-only driven presentation in Keynote is similar enough to web browsers that it is intuitive enough even for non-tech-savy users. But one problem has cropped up. People unfamiliar with Ipads or Iphones will push the hard button on the bottom of the screen and exit Keynote to the home screen or they will put the IPad to sleep with the small button on top. In either case they are then completely lost.
Does anyone know of a case for Ipads that covers the mechanical buttons so they can't be accidentally pushed?

I don't have a suggestion, but I do have a question. We are trying to do something similar, but I have found that people pinch the screen and "mess up" the Keynote slides. Are you having that issue? And if not, how did you keep that from happening. Thank you!

Can I use the ipad 2 to run Powerpoint presentations?

I am in need of a device besides the traditional laptop to run Powerpoint presentations from. Can I link this with a projector with the VGA adapter? And will the ipad 2 run Powerpoint presentations?

You will have different settings for each device, even with the same account.
Don't worry about setting it up - just connect them to iTunes, which will detect them as seperate devices, with distinct names, and for each you can choose which things you want to sync over.

Interactive presentation with hyperlinks on iPad (Keynote,ppt)

Hey there,
since 4 month I am trying to find a solution to this problem (See title). How is it possible that Apple can´t bring out an update for that? This is in my opinion one of the most important functions especially for companies who are presenting their work on iPads, having 50 slide presentations and need to switch from slide 34 to slide 4 and back. Anyways, it makes no sense having keynote without being able to use hyperlinks on the ipad...
*When is Apple bringing out an update?!* PLEASE APPLE! Is there any other possibility to make interactive presentation work on the ipad, keeping the hyperlinks and all the animations the way you created them on the mac or pc?
Thanks!

These are user to user forums and nobody here can tell you anything about Apple's plans. To ask Apple for new features, best use the channel they have set up for that:

Limitations on presentation using iPad

I would like to use iPad for doing the presentation occasionally during my business trips. I read some articles here and found there is a major issue that the iPad does not mirror the iPad screen to the projector by default (output the iPad screen to the projector and leave the iPad screen blank (black screen) and it only works depending on which software that provides the mirror function is used. It is a quite different behavior with all the laptop computer users as the laptops do it by itself. iPad appears not to do so and let the application software to do so. I would like to know if the below application softwares support the mirror feature (presentation material on both iPad and projector at the same time) to the projector via the dock connector to VGA adapter.
QuickOffice
Document to Go
Keynote
However, I have learnt that Keynote for iPad is also very limited, such as not supporting notes! Is it a Keynote limitation or other two also have the same.
Thanks!

The latest version of Keynote for the iPad now supports notes and it has a presenter screen, so that's no longer an issue.

Fail to import Keynote 09 presentation to Keynote for iPad

Up to now, I did not manage to import a presentation to Keynote for iPad. I already tried to simplify the presentation as much as possible (changed font to Arial, removed background, compressed embedded pictures). The presentation runs smoothly in Keynote 09 but as soon as I try to open it on the iPad, I get an error message "Unknown error". Does anybody experience the same issue? Any ideas how to proceed?
Thanks in advance - I really appreciate any hint as I love the iPad and using my presentations on it is a core application for me.
Thomas

Thomas!! Great to see you here, as I was looking into this exact problem! My sig other got it working after having this issue for a while:
She was able to succeed simply by opening the keynote file on her Mac, then doing a 'save as' to get a fresh copy and a new name. Note that we tried just copying the file to a new location first without success.
Importing the fresh file worked perfectly. Hope this helps you and others... Hope all's well with you! =)
Cheers!

Help creating interactive presentation for iPad using InDesign

Hello All,
So I have some very basic experience using Adobe programs for my personal business solutions. Primarily photoshop. But I just got InDesign CS6 as it was recommend for creating an interactive presentation for an iPad.
Before I get to my main question I'd like to give you the basics on my needs for such presentation. I currently own a residential painting company and we have a printed client manual we use at our sales presentations to cover our services for prospective clients. I would like to create an interactive presentation, document, whatever (is easiest and will provide the best experience) for our sales reps to use on iPad devices. This presentation will ideally be between 20-30 pages long, with a main menu and 4-5 subtopics with page links, video & picture inserts, working web links, GIF's, and anything else that might spark customer interest or be an effective sales tool.
We are trying to integrate everything for use on the ipad for our sales presentation because we can use it as an all in one tool. Specifically for our client manual, schedule, job locations, credit processing, etc... Also, I see a video review on an ipad much more powerful tool than the boring written reviews we have right now.
Anyways, I really have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I have learned Adobe programs from scratch in the past, and I am looking for any beginner advice or resources you guys may have. Maybe some good starting points or examples of presentation templates for ipad use, functionality, etc... Really lost in the fog right now, and just looking for a little beginner guidance.
Any help or advice is grealty appreciated
Thanks
Tim

Tim,
I believe you can get more specific help over here:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/indesign
You may (re)consider the presentation format. A PDF (which may be created from an InDesign document) may an option for identical appearance (requiring sufficient pixel x pixel size of all appliances used. Otherwise, a floating (reflowing) format may be more appropriate. In the latter case, InDesign may be a dead end.

I could not open my keynote presentations that I made in my iPad... Can anyone help me.

I have been using my iPad to make and present my keynote presentation for a while now. However, since last week I could not open any of my previous. Presentations. When I click on them nothing happens. Why is this? Can you help me on this...

I'm having the same issue - OS is up to date and checked thatI have 6.5.2.

Do I need to re-install Keynote?

New iPad for presentations...MANY questions

Hi all,
I just got the new iPad (32GB, Wi-Fi only) and want to use it to give my keynote presentations. I normally use my macbook pro (~late 2008) running Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I also have Keynote Remote on my iphone 4. And, I have Apple TV (got as gift and haven't used yet).
My ideal situation would be to give the presentation from my iPad and walk around the room. I have done alot of research online about this and I keep getting more confused. I bought AirServer to mirror to my macbook pro and tried to do it last night. It worked but only when my house WiFi was used. There was alittle lag and I assume if I got a VGA adapter to hook directly into my iPad it would be smoother. So this brings me to my questions...
1. I might not have access to a wifi network, is there a way to make a network using my macbook pro or Apple TV so I can commnicate to my iPad to give the presentation (and still walk around the room)?
2. If I need to hook my iPad directly to the projector with the VGA adapter, I assume I can use my Keynote remote on my iphone, yes? How about without a wifi available?
3. If I use Keynote remote on my iPhone, is there a laser pointer feature, or an app with one that works?
Sorry for all this but I am just alttle numb. I probably don't have the best grasp of how networks work or bluetooth so forgive my ignorance.
Any and all help is much appreciated
Thanks,
Chris

Ok, you have a lot you need addressed, so bare with me.
1. You can can tether to your iphone with personal hotspot to create a viable wifi for your keynote remote to work. To tether see this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517 In order to create a viable wifi network using your MBP you must have a valid internet connection to share.
2. You hook directly up and use keynote remote, but you may use bluetooth. To use bluetooth with your keynote remote you must have the ipad/iphone already linked. To link via wireless make sure both devices are on the same wireless network, then go to settings- new keynote link on the remote app. On your ipad open keynote open a presentation to edit, then click the settings/wrench icon and go to advanced-remote- turn it on then enter the code shown on your phone.
3. No laser pointer feature, I am not sure if another app would provide this.
Additional note: you can also use your apple TV to mirror your ipads display and to do this your apple tv and ipad must be on the same network. Follow these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5209
Good luck and I hope I answered your questions.
