IPad with cellular and wifi and a cheap end laptop or just a MacBook Pro/Air?
Hi guys
I'm a first year studying dentistry and my current laptop(Dell XPS M1530) have crashed so I'm looking at purchasing a new laptop.
It has lasted 5 years and looking for something to take me another 5 years. I hear the iPad is selling faster than the macs.
I have two options:
Option 1: an iPad with cellular and a cheap laptop to run the iPad as it is very dependent on iTunes
Option 2: a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air
I currently have an iPhone 5
I mainly browse the Internet, type documents, download music and watch movies
Which option should I go for and why should I go for that option?
Thanks :)
I do not think a tablet should take the place of a laptop. They are convenient and fun, but as you prepare documents, I think a Macbook Pro would be a better choice. Typing on a tablet is not as capable on a tablet. The Macbook Pro could be expected to last longer than a cheap laptop and you could always add a tablet later if you want one.

I want to buy an New iPad(4th generation) WIFI CELLULAR, but i not live in U.S. I live in Colombia and want it with cellular. somehow to buy the iPad with cellular that comes unlocked for my GSM local carries?
They may be purchased unlocked at full price. But whether you can use them in Brazil depends on whether you have GSM service there.
Note that if you buy in the US then any warranty work will require you to bring the device to the US for service. The US warranty is only good in the US, not in Brazil. You would be better off buying it in Brazil which will also save you duty and import taxes plus US sales tax. -
What is the difference between an ipad with cellular and one without?
Anyone?
iPad with cellular will allow you to connect to the internet and email anywhere you have a cell phone signal. You can also connect to a wi-fi network.
iPad with wifi will allow you to connect to the internet when you are within range of a wifi network.
So if you are outside in the middle of a park, you won't be able to connect to the internet or email with the wifi only model, but you could with the cellular model. If you are at a Starbucks, you could connect to the internet or email with either model.
Hope this helps!

Ipad mini retina dislplay wifi and cellular.
i want to buy an ipad mini retina display wifi and cellular in malaysia. will it work with indian carriers?
can someone please respond soon?
thanksAs long as the indian carriers support the correct frequencies it should. Note, that warranty and service will not be valid outside of the country of purchase, so you would need to return to Malaysia to get it serviced.
Other than that most iPads are unlocked for use with sim cards from any compatible GSM carrier.
Note, that if the carrier you wish to use it on is CDMA, they will likely not activate a device that was not registered to them originally during manufacturing.
I suggest contacting the carrier you wish to use, to make sure they can give you a sim card with service for the iPad. -
Which option do I have to select If I buy the latest iPad with cellular feature for international use? If I choose verizon can I just change the sim card and insert one from another country?
I would guess you need the A1460 model

IPad with Cellular v with WiFi if my iphone has a personal hotspot?
Giving an iPad Air as a Christmas gift. Do I need to pay extra for an iPad with cellular service if I have an iPhone with a personal hotspot? If not, are there any advantages in paying the extra for the cellular v WiFi iPad?
The only advantage I can think of is if the phone contract's data plan is limited. Then an iPad data plan would provide more MBs. I used to have ipads with cellular available, but now that I have an iphone with a hotspot feature, and the fact that I rarely use the hotspot, I opted for wifi only ipad.

iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad
http://appletoolbox.com/2012/07/ipad-running-slow-how-to-speed-up-a-slow-ipad/
If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7-8 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7-8 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

I have an ipad 3 that has wifi and for some reason my youtube, facebook, and app store app are all not working. How do i fix this?!!!
Hey there FlamingTurd!
If you are having issues connecting to the App Store on your phone, there is an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
We also have an article that deals with troubleshooting apps you have downloaded from the App Store and installed on your computer. That article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Finally, if neither of those articles resolve the issue, you may need to restore your iPad:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

So I have an iPad with the smart cover, and it's usually supposed to turn on and off the iPad when u open it and close it, but it's not turning on for me. Nor is it turning off without pressing the button. What is the meaning of this?what caused it to be this way? Is there someway that I could fix it?
Wait a sec did this just start?
You set up the smart cover function in settings (you did that, right?) so, if you did that and it's failed you make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar now. -
