IPad mini for writing word documents?

Can I use the iPad mini for writing word documents etc. Or even if I can use an app and export it for word etc. Is it already loaded app or do I have to buy it?

Pages, Keynote and Numbers make up the iWork's suite of apps.
As long as both iPads are using the same Apple ID for purchases from the App Store you could purchase Pages only once. There are drawbacks for using the same Apple ID on multiple devices when those devices are used by different people.
Pages will export documents in Word format so that can be opened by Word on a Mac or PC. Pages is a nice app but it is not as all encompassing as Word on your regular computer. There is some formatting that can be done in .word that will not translate in Pages. Even with that though I find Pages a good App.

Ipad won't open Word documents without .doc appended

My ipad won't open word documents attached to emails that don't have .doc appended, however my iphone does this flawlessly. Is this normal?

Mine won't either. I was wondering if it had something to do with installing the pages app. My attachments with .doc are showing as pages docs.

16 GB ipad mini for college

Hello,
I'm considering getting a 16 GB ipad mini for college this year. My question is, would 16GB be enough? I plan on using the ipad mostly for note taking. Thanks!

Hi,
Because you'll be in college, I suggest you get as much space as is possible!!!
The thing is, many, many people, once they start using an ipad and learn all they can use it for, end up needing more storage space on their ipads. And you cannot increase space. So go for the most you can afford.
Our younger son is in college. He got a 64 gb, only thought he'd need only a 32 gb, and he's used more than the 32 gb in a matter of months. He can store text books, documents, etc., financial newspapers (required for classes) and more movies and music than he thought he'd need. (Videos will take up space quickly.) So he's very happy he got the 64 gb. And you actually start out with less than 16 gb because some space is used up by apps and programs that come pre-installed and are necessary for your ipad mini to work.
If the cost is a strong consideration for you, take a look in the Apple Refurb store on Apple's website.Last year we bought two refurbished ipads from the Apple Refurb store on the Apple website. They are great!
They come with new covers (front and back,) a brand new battery, and a full one year warranty. Now with Apple care + ($99.00) you can get more coverage that will also cover accidental damage like broken glass and wet ipads (3 incidents of damage.) I think it's well worth it. PLEASE do not buy a refurb anywhere else!
If you planned on buying a new 16 gb mini, it costs $279.00 In the refurb store. The refurbished 32 gb mini is $359.00 - twice the space and only $30.00 more than you planned to spend on a new 16 gb. A refurbed 64 gb will cost $110.00 more than a new 16 gb - four times as much space. They are only sold via the website and come in a brand new box.
So if I were you, I'd go for the certified refurbished ipad from the Apple website. Please note that the different colors and sizes come and go in the refurb store, so when you see what you want, act on it. Delivery is fast.
Hope this helps.

Anyone have any ideas on how I set up Itunes to make this work and not loose her IPAD apps and media?

I purchased an IPad Mini for my mother-in-law using my Apple ID. I need to open an ID for her and take mine off the Mini. How would I do this?

I just got an ipad mini for christmas. charged it fully. was using it fine, then went to turn it back on and nothing is happening. i plugged it in and it doesn't even make a sound like it's charging. the screen is completely black. why would this happen?

Try resetting it. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.
If it's a brand new iPad Mini (with retina display), it is under warranty. You can always take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center for service.

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
Take it back and get your money returned. You
are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

IPad mini for Xmas. Can't get it to recognise or connect to my home network. I'm using a BT Home Hub set up in Jan 2012. Any suggestions?

Got an IPad mini for Xmas. My home network runs off a BT Home Hub. I can't get the iPad to recognise or connect to the wifi network despite a strong signal. The device recognises the presence of a BT Network but keeps asking lots of nonsene stuff - like IP address etc etc which it ought to be able to pick up automatically. The BT Network was set up in Janiary 2012. Any suggestions?

hello again,
i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
"Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
cheers, stephen.

Which Ipad mini for 2 Daughters Help

Hello,
I'm looking into buying 2 Ipads mini for my 11 and 13 years old daughters for Christmas. I'm familiar with most Apple products but not much when it comes to Ipads.
I came across to the mini ipad 2 retina 32GB on sale for $299 however I'm not sure if the model and size (32GB) are suitable for them. There's the mini 3 which is more expensive.
Thanks in advance.

The biggest issue you could face with a 2 instead of a 3 is that MAYBE the 2 will max out on iOS updates sooner than the 3. And it is just a maybe because none of us know when devices max out. The iPad 1 stopped at iOS 5.1.1, the iPad 2 was eligible for the latest iOS update, which is 8.1.2, but did not get all the features, nor did it get all the features of iOS7.
So the 3 offers you the longest compatibility. That said, unless you're continually looking for new apps that won't make much of a difference. For example, when my iPad 2 maxes out then the apps that are on it would continue to work, I just couldn't get any newer versions or may eventually have issues finding compatible new apps.
Given that it's for children, Id' go for the Mini 2. I would also recommend apple care plus, which is an extended warranty. However it covers up to 2 instances of accidental damage repair. Say your daughter drops it. With Apple Care plus you'll pay a $49 fee for a replacement, without it you'll pay 219 for that same replacement.

Is there a key for entering text on ipad mini for the schwa symbol?

Is there a key for entering text on ipad mini for the schwa symbol?

You're welcome.
It is possible there is an app containing a phonetic keyboard in the app store (or not). I haven't had use for one, so have never checked. Using it would require some copy and past on your part. But it might worth a search.
Oh, just to be clear (should have googled and not trusted my aging memory) you're basically looking for an upside-down "e", right?

Help setting up ipad minis for our two kids.

We purchased ipad minis for my two kids this Christmas (ages 6 & 8). I have been working on setting them up so they are ready to use. I created gmail accounts and Apple ID accounts to use for messaging and FaceTime only. I put restrictions so they can not use email, Facebook, Twitter, Safari, etc. I plan on using a kid friendly browsing such as Mobicip. The part I am getting hung up is being able to put certain things on their iPads from my wife's iTunes account. We have decided to use her account to sync with their new iPads. Obviously, the kids will not have access to her password on iTunes. She has very few game apps on her ipad. I would like to add fun appropriate kid games to her iTunes account to sync to their iPads, but not my wife's. The same thing with iBooks and music. Some of my wife's books are not kid appropriate. I know you can create playlists to share music. What is the best way to go about setting up iTunes? Any other things I am forgetting to keep inappropriate material from curious kids.
Thanks.
