IPad 2 Capacity for making music and art?

Hey all,
After dilly-dallying for a few months I've finally broken down and decided to purchase an iPad. My only uncertainty is which capacity to get - the 16GB or the 32GB?
The reason I'm not certain is that my partner and I intend to use it for painting and making music. I'm wondering if anyone out here is using it for the same thing and can shed any light on an answer? From looking at app sizes and estimating the size of our pieces from JPEG and MP3 formats, I think a 16GB will suffice, but there doesn't seem to be much information to confirm that.
Thanks!

Make sure sound is not muted (little bell)

Is this PowerBook Good enough for making music?

Is this powerbook : PowerBook G4 17Inch
17-inch TFT widescreen display with 1680x1050 resolution
1.67GHz PowerPC G4 processor
2GB memory (DDR2)
120GB 5400rpm hard drive
Slot-load 8x SuperDrive (DVD+R DL/DVDRW/CD-RW)
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics card with 128MB DDR memory
The Latest or the last model of Powerbooks
Is it good enough for making music or editing few video clips?
Will Snow Leopard run on it?
Can i upgrade more ram in it ?

Yes, that Powerbook can be used to make music or edit video clips. When it was new, it was required at the North Carolina School of the Arts for their Film program, using Final Cut software. Having a more powerful Intel CPU would speed up the rendering and processing times, however, the 1.67Ghz Powerbook can certainly handle video editing.
I know people that have used Garageband on it to make music.
The last operating system you can run on it is OS X 10.5 Leopard, with the last release being 10.5.8.
It's RAM is maxed out at 2GB.
As long as you don't need newer software that requires an Intel processor and aren't going to rely on that as your system to access streaming video's on the internet, it should work for you.

Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies?

I m Using MacBook Air and APT 160
I have three questions:
1- Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies I need the space in my MacBook Air? If yes please tell me how?
2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
Thanks

No, it is not a storage solution as if you need to get the things off it you can't. If you deete things from iTunes they'll delete at the next sync. Provided you have backup copie on an external drive or CD/DVD, you could delete the actual file from the Finder leaving the database entry in iTunes - in this way you free space on the laptop but files stay on AppleTV.
An alternative would be to change itunes Preferences (Advanced tab) not to import into the library, then for things you don't want on the Macbook Air, have them on external drive, drag and drop to itunes, sync, then disconnect drive for portable use. Again when the files aren't available they won't be deleted, unless you delete the itunes database reference.
2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
n is faster.
3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
Your options are basically small portable drives most of which are USB powered (though may require powered hubs if you have a hub) or larger desktop externals requiring power adapter and more space.
For value the desktop externals give more capacity per pound/dollar, and will also have bigger capacity maximums at a given time (bigger and bigger capacity discs being developed all the time).
Try and work out the capacity/pro
ice point and if a portable might be useful, then you have a variety of option.
Peronally I like Western Digital, Seagate and Freecom models, but they're all fairly good these days, and even popular brands can fail. I avoid Maxtor and IBM/Hitachi having had failures in the past, but all drives eventually fail.

Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

HT201210 i want to use my old iphone for playing music and it wont sync

i want to use my old iphone for playing music and it wont sync

Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
It would depend however on the age of the child.
Good Luck

Are you signed into iTunes on the computer with the same Apple ID the apps in question were "purchased" with? Is the computer authorized for that account?

A good equipment and software for making music

Hello!
This is the situation: I´m using Garageband ´08 for making (good?) music, a USB-powered keyboard and the laptop stated below.
How would you suggest I'd do to get more instruments and better performance when editing music and playing it in realtime? I´ve sometimes thought about a Mac Pro, but as far as I discovered it didn´t improve music producing performance actually. What about those pro apps and jam packs?
Another problem is that my HDD is getting short of free space now.
I´m ready to hear your thoughts about this situation.
Kind regards

Well iMovie is probably the most basic editing software. This comes installed on your Mac. You should have no trouble learning how to use it after exploring the software a little.
If you want a lot more options for effects and tools and overall capabilities, Final Cut Pro X would be what you want. It's a bit more complex of a system than iMovie and can take some time to get used and learn everything the system has to offer. It might be a little pricy ($299) if your just looking to edit videos from your iPad and iPhone.
I would suggest just using iMovie first and if that doesn't do it for you, you could consider purchasing Final Cut Pro X.
*Also, there is Final Cut Express for around ~$160. This would be the simpler version of Final Cut Pro, however, this software discontinued so there would be no updates.

This is my first ipad how do i download music and videos from my pc to my ipad air thank you for any help

Hello this is my first apple product, I just got a ipad air. How do i download music and vidos stored on my pc to my ipad air also how do i download videos from youtube? Thank you for any help

Add all you wanna sync to Itunes by selecting a folder.
Then select it to sync in Itunes.
At the End synch your Ipad.
And you will see your IPad experience can start....
Wish you a wonderful Journey to explore wonderful things on a powerful Tool.

Which Macbook Pro should I buy for recording, making music and editing videos?

I really have a huge interest in music and editing videos and I want to make it as a part of my career so I want to start making some videos/music videos, etc. I have an iMac, but I share with my whole family, so I don't really have the time and I don't have the privacy that I need. I was thinking about buying a PC but that gets viruses easily unlike the Mac OS. I really hope someone could help me. I was thinking about the 13 inch Macbook Pro with Retina display (8GB Memory and 500+ Flash Storage). That's what I could afford right now.
Thanks.

Based on reports here and elsewhere, I'm not sure buying a Retina MBP is such a great investment of your money as Retina Displays make much higher demands on the systems... and provide a lower overall performance with CPU/Sub Systems intensive and timing reliant/critical applications such as Logic Pro X
While I understand the 'draw' of Laptops.. because of their portability etc... there are drawbacks that should be taken into account too.. and compared to a similar priced iMac/Mac Mini.... you get much better power/cost ration with an iMac/Mac Mini than you will ever get with a MBP....
Simply put you will spend roughly twice as much for a MBP compared to an iMac/Mac Mini to obtain the same performance... and while Retina does provide for a very good clear screen... the overheads that places on the systems of a MBP.. can often outweigh its real benefits when used with an App like LPX where Retina really serves no useful purpose/benefits....... especially for the extra cost.
Example..My nearly 3 year old 3.4Ghz i7 32GB iMac which cost less by some degree as my top of the range 2013 2.5 Ghz i7 16GB MBP with Retina.. 'smokes' the MBP so easily..... when using identical versions of LPX/LP9 under Mavericks.. Even my 2010 Mac Mini Server 2.0 Ghz 16GB gives the MBP a good run for it's money in comparision.. and that cost me less than $800 plus Monitor!
Note: This is just a personal opinion and should be viewed as such....

Can I have one Apple ID for personal (music) and one for work (syncing contacts and mail) on the save device

Between my husband and I we have 6 devices and we are only allowed to share our Apple ID across 5. Some of the devices are for music and outlook and some are just for music - can I have a separate Apple ID for my mail and contacts. ie. Can you use two different Apple ID's on the same device?

Oh maybe ipads and iphones aren't counted in the five

IPad only plays sound with music and some games

My iPad was working great until a week ago but now I only have sound for my music. I have no sound when I type (yes I checked to make sure that the keyboard clicks were on). On certain games I have no sound. When I put my headphones on I have sound on Geometry wars but when i take the headphones out I got nothing. Also when I lock my iPad it doesn't make a sound. Any ideas?

I don't fully understand what's involved but I've found that a System Reset cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad
Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

Can you open itunes in 2 windows? One for your music and 1 for Itunes store

I want to open iTunes in 2 windows. One showing my current music and one showing the iTunes store. Sometimes I will accidentally download a song that I already have.

The option to open in a new window seems to have disappeared in the latest iTunes.
You could leave feedback for Apple about it via the help menu.
