Is the iPad worth it?

I'm gonna be starting college soon, and everyone keeps telling me to get an iPad to use. I already have an iPod 4, and a MacBook Pro, and I was just wondering if the iPad is worth the price? And if it is, should I wait for the iPad 3 to come out? Thanks!

If you're on the fence but you already have a MB Pro, my sugestion is to wait until you start school. That will give you the opportunity to meet with other students that already have iPads and you can make a more intelligent choice, i.e. one specifically tailored to YOUR personal preferences.
I've been out of college since before most persons on this earth were on this earth. However, I'm not particularly enthused with the iPad as a college tool. For one, because of glare, it's pretty much impossible to read anythng outdoors. For another, it's clumsy as a data entry device (word processing, spreadsheets, etc.). In fact, I learned the hard way that Pages documents created on the Mac are NOT entirely compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I used my Mac to create some advertising flyers for my son's business and they're unreadable on the iPad!

HT201269 I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die. If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud.

I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die. If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own. I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book. I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy. I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

Is the ipad mini worth it?

I am going to get an Ipad mini soon. I never owned an IPAD just a Itouch 3rd gen 32GIG, IPhone 4 16GB, and IPhone 4s 16GB. I would like to try a ipad but the big ones are to expensive so I am thinking of getting an ipad mini and how come they didn't add retina display to the ipad mini if they could add it on the IPhone 4 and 4s?

As far as I know Apple haven't said why they didn't put a retina display on the Mini, but it may be due to pricing. As to whether it's worth it, only you know what you will be using it for and whether you will get value from owning one. From a size point of view it will be better than your phone or iPod for watching films or tv shows, and for browsing the internet and reading ebooks - you should also be able to more easily hold it one hand than the full-sized iPads.

Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?

Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?
I was planning to buy Apple iPad 2 64 GB + 3G but is it worth when iPad 4 is already here cuz I cannot afford the 3rd gen or 4rth gen ?
Will it be able to work fine even after 2 yrs or so ? Will get ios 7 or whatever update after ios 6 ?

Apple does not currently sell a new 64GB iPad 2; only a 16GB model. Do you really need a 64GB model? The iPad 4 has more features than the iPad 2 and is much faster. Since this is a user to user forum, and not Apple employees, we have no way to know Apple's plans for iOS 7.

I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air. I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up. (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions). BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document). So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer. I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop. I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)? do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move? Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
Thank you in advance.

Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
Sorry, for the confusion.
Removing documents from iCloud:
iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

Re: What is "other" memory on my iPad

I work with a child who is not able to move his neck. to see the ipad, it has to be placed high above the table (eye level). he needs access with a mouse - is this possible?

I work with a child who has physical disability and cannot move his neck. The ipad needs to be eyelevel in order for him to see it, but he also is not able to raise his hand and would need mouse access... is this possible?

I'm sorry but the iPad does not work with a mouse, there is no cursor on the iPad and the iPad was designed as a touch screen device so a mouse will not work.
I really don't know what to suggest other than this new device, and it might be worth a look. I assume that the child can use his hands for a keyboard.

Why can i not view my rental movie in the ipad video app

hello everyone
Hopefully someone can help as I'm getting a tad frustrated I have been for the last 2.5hrs trying to get a rental movie I have downloaded on to my computer to sync with my Ipad2 and its simply wont do it what could be wrong?
I have so far
restarted both computer and rebooted ipad.
both softwares are up to date on ipad and on PC
I have checked the restrictions and there doesnt appear to be any that I can see in the menu although saying that the movie selection can not even be highlighted in that menu.
I have checked in the about and although itunes syncs the movie and it shows up in the bar below as the movie taking up space..in the about in the general part of settings it refreshed but still states 0 so itunes on the PC says its on the ipad but the ipad is saying it is not on the ipad....
I'm going away on holiday next week and I was hoping to take a few rentals with me....I downloaded this one to test it out and see how well it worked so far its been frustraingly useless....im glad I never downloaded 30bux worth of movies.
I have been searching and searching the net...I have come across one other person that appears to be having the same drama as me. however he is on here on apple support but no body has replied to him and he posted 3 months ago...so I hope someone can help me

Is there anyone out there that might know whats wrong!!!!
Surely someone must be able to help

I am trying to connect my ipad version of garage band to my mac book pro so as to record directly from the ipad as a midi instrument but with no success. Can you help?

I am trying to connect my ipad to my mac book pro. I want to use the ipad as a software instrument (playing from garage band) and to record in garage band on the mac book. I have plugged the ipad in, turned on the ipad and opened up garage band but the mac book pro has not picked it up. Why? Any suggestions.

Maybe it should, I'm all PC here so I can't actually test it myself. As far as I can recall all the stuff I've read has GarageBand for iOS acting as the recording instrument in the MIDI relationship rather than an input device for something else.
Could be worth posting to GarageBand for iOS Feedback and suggesting it as a feature.

PC Laptop, MacBook, or what I really want.... The iPad 2

I am a community college student in Eastern North Carolina. This past summer my laptop of several years finally ground it's last gear and since then I have been without a laptop. I do not receive financial aid, or help of any kind, paying for my classes and textbooks so I was going to go to my local Wal-Mart and just buy the cheapest laptop they had so I could complete my assignments. I said as much in one of my classes and my professor who happens to have all Apple Products had a lot to say. Yet I am still unsure of a few things and need some clarifications before I make a purchase (I have read everything I can find, but I am worried I've misread or misinterpreted something):
What I need to be able to do:Write / Create:
Research Papers
Excel Documents
Power Point Presentations
Create, Open, Edit, Save and Send the above type of files so they can be opened, edited, saved and sent on Windows 7 Microsoft Office 2010
Surf the Internet (I am aware that Safari fulfills this need)
Back-up my files, pictures, music, videos, etc. on an external harddrive should (God forbid) something happen to whatever product I purchase. (I feel much safer with a hard copy)
Stream online video(s) and audio to complete assignments for classes.
Carry my product with me all day, every day. (I leave home at 6am and rarely get home before 9pm)
What I want to be able to do:
Keep track of assignments, appointments, and work schedule
Have my music, videos, and pictures with me while I am on-the-go
Watch an occasional movie from iTunes or Netflix without using all of my available memory
Consolidate! (My bookbag is extremely heavy from lugging around textbooks, notebooks, and various items and supplies for both work and school)
PURCHASE eTextbooks (CourseSmart offers only rentals, and as a Psychiatric Social Work major I want to keep some of my psychology and social work textbooks as references later on down the road. Purchased eTextbooks can't be ruined, lost, or stolen like printed textbooks and so seem the smarter choice)
Questions:
What is the big difference from an Apple Laptop and Apple's iPad 2?What can the laptops do that iPad 2 cannot? I know there are no USB hubs or any ways to install a program from a CD, but with iCloud and the AppStore won't I have everything I will need?
If I decide to buy the iPad 2:
Do I buy the iPad 2 from the Apple Store, Wal-Mart, or Best Buy?Honestly, what is the difference? The Apple Store for Education offers free next day shipping as a "discount" but this is going to be my Christmas present for myself and it is going to have to sit in it's box until December 25 anyways. Or I can always drive 25 minutes to Best Buy and not have to worry about any kind of shipping at all. Everyone's prices are all the same so I see no difference. Am I missing something here??
Which memory size do I buy?
I had a lot of music on iTunes, but have forgotten my password. Since I no longer attend the school which provided the e-mail account I had (stupidly) linked to my iTunes Account there is no way to find out my password. I have 2GB worth of songs on my new iTune's account, and I do expect that to grow.
I do have a lot of pictures, but they are all on Facebook and Google's Picaso Application. I really do not see myself using the iPad 2's cameras much, and not to mention I heard they left the consumer lacking.
I perform a lot of work in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; however with iCloud and the 'Dropbox' App I should be able to save my work online, right?
I do not travel much, but when I do travel it is long distances. (Example: 2008 - England for 1 month, 2009 - Ireland for one month, 2010 - Wales and Scotland for one month) Would WiFi work in the UK, Italy, Greece, India, Peru, Guatemala, etc.? I cannot see how it would be, but I am just now truly jumping on the technology bandwagon.
Can I back-up ALL of my iPad 2's files on a external hard drive via a PC Computer?
WiFi Only or WiFi+3G?
One mile from my house in every direction some form of high speed internet is offered, but my family and I are stuck using dial-up (shhh.... shhh.... it's okay.... don't cry for me too hard). My HTC Desire cellular phone contracted through US Cellular offers a Mobile WiFi Hotspot and only offers 2GB of service. Can you sign up for a iPad 2 WiFi+3G data plan without having a cellular plan through either AT&T or Verizon? Is the 3G service only offered in the USA?
How to the WiFi Only and WiFi+3G differ? Just being able to get online even when there isn't a WiFi connection available?
Will the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote Apps fulfill my need for Mircosoft 2010 Word, Excel, and PowerPoint?
I must be able to create, open, edit, save, and send work to my professors. I understand that I can accomplish all these things should my professor use an Apple Product; however, what if my professor does not? Will Windows 7 Microsoft 2010 be able to open my work?
Is there a video, book, ebook, or guide on how to use Pages, Numbers, and Keynote? I have never used these applications and from what I have seen it will be quite an adjustment for me.
Can I take music or videos off my iPad should my space begin to run low?I have bought several songs and videos on my iTunes Account, but what if I sync my iTunes Library only to find when it has finished that I have only 3GB of memory left? (Probably a stupid question, but I am trying to cover all angles before making such a purchase)
Can I buy textbooks via the iTunes Store, CourseSmart, or Textbook Application?
I have researched CourseSmart to the best of my ability and it seems that you can only rent eTextbooks. Is the accurate? Not that I am complaining! By renting textbooks on the iPad 2 via the CourseSmart Application the device will have paid for itself in just two semesters. Considering I have at least another 3.5 years of study ahead of me there is no telling just how much money I can save!
Should actually buying eTextbooks not yet be available is there any chance it might be in the near future???
Are there any Stylus Pens available that can write on paper while also writing on the iPad 2?
I am a very heavy-handed person and am scared I will somehow damage (Scratching the screen, accidently pressing down too hard, etc.) the iPad 2 should I try and use a Stylus on the screen.
Should this product not exist: If I were to use an available Stylus (Which are good and which are bad??) would there be a problem with both the Stylus and my hand touching the screen at the same time? When I write my fingers and hand both touch the paper, and so I am worried I will make a useless purchase.
iPad 1 released in 2010. iPad 2 released in 2011. iPad 3 released in 2012?
Does anybody know if Apple is currently working on or close to completing the iPad 3? I do not wish to buy the iPad 2 at the end of December and then have a newer model with better hardware upgrades come out 2 or 3 months later.
I understand that technology advances quickly, but will iPad 2 continue to be the world's leading tablet device or is Apple going to release the next 'world's leading tablet device' soon?
I wish to thank any and every person who responds to this. I know this is a lot of questions, but to me the iPad 2 means paying up a lot of money. I work part-time at a Boys and Girls Club and I have to make every cent count. The iPad 2 seems to be an absolutely amazing device and I truly hope that it will be the best product to fulfill my needs. I must make a decision soon because Santa Claus is on his way!
Again, thank you for your responses and for your time!

The ipad is certainly no replacement for a computer/laptop.
It is used in conjunction with a laptop/computer. It is simply a big ipod/iphone.
I would not even consider the ipad for your needs.

I just purchased a ipad 2 and have not sync it yet. I have an old pc and would like to move the itunes library account to a newer pc that I have. Can I move the library to the ipad and sync ipods to the ipad and/or move the library to the new pc?

Perhaps this web page will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1229
But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

Word Processing on the iPad Retina Display

Hi There,
I've been browsing the forums for a while and have seen various threads about the WP possibilities with iPad. I've looked at ipages and iworks, and also a couple of others which are paid apps and claim to do mostly the same things (I really only want basic word processing which I can then save and email).
Many of the apps I've tried out are SO slow to load that it's really not worth the hassle. In particular, those which rely on iCloud, Google Drive, DropBox or Sky Drive. On the other hand, a few of the free apps seem to have no possibility to save anywhere which is daft. Some autosave, but woe betide you if you log off before it's done that.
I used Polaris with my Samsung Note to very good effect, it allows export in both word or PDF (or other) formats and also allows direct export from the app if you want to do that. It's pretty basic but sufficed for my needs however there doesn't appear to be a version for the iPad sadly.
If you were about to buy an app PURELY for word processing, and required something which allowed you to email from the app, to convert to pdf (I have a pdf converting app) AND allowed you either to store the doc on the iPad (is this even possible? I'm guessing it is as the Note allows for this and has the same memory size) or uses iCloud or Google Docs - don't really mind which.
I can't seem to find any overall opinion on which is best. Many seem to say iPages but I'm unsure how malleable it is and I don't have an Apple computer, only a PC so I need it to be fully compatible.
Thanks for any advice, help or experience anyone feels like sharing.

Yes, I was wondering about using the Notes app too. Hmm, I've just been looking at some of the links on another similar question and the real problem is, the reviews are terrible for many of the Office Pro type apps. They cost around the same as Pages and claim to do all kinds of things but Documents to Go and Doc to Go Premium are simply slated in the review sections.
Thanks very much. I shall probably try Pages first.

Can you upload files from the iPad to a Web Browers

I recently received an iPad and I love it. I would also love to leave my laptop at home and only use the iPad while I'm away. One thing I think is missing for this to be possible is the lack of a native filesystem, as far as I know.
I know there are many apps that allow you to store and sync documents but I can't find a way to upload files to a website. For example, if I'm on a job site that requires me to upload my resume, the browse button on the browser is not active. I can't upload the files using the documents I've stored in Pages or in readdledocs.
Does anyone else think this is a major shortcoming?
Is there a way to do that I'm not aware of?
You assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
joe

I had the same complaint. I actually stopped using my laptop for the iPad. It was frustrating having to go to the laptop just to upload a resume to career builder. I just downloaded iCab browser in the app store. I sent my resume to an external email account and signed in. You need to open the email through the iCab browser and download the file there. ICab has its own download drop box. I was able to them go to career builder and upload a resume without a problem. It may be a pain to start emailing files to yourself just to import them into the app but it's worth it not having to either copy and paste or go back to your laptop. Hope that helps and you found a job.

Considering the iPad. I have a few Q's :)

Hi All, I’m in the UK and am very close to ordering my iPad. I have a few questions I was hoping you maybe able to help me out with. I want to be able to use my iPad for day to day browsing and e mailing as well as having a multimedia device with me to play music, films and check out pictures. My main concern is, is it worth investing in an iPad when a Laptop / Netbook can do all these things and are a lot cheaper.
1 .Will the iPad display any web site. I understand that apple and Adobe don’t like each other and the iPhone for example wont display any flash on sites you visit. This is a serious concern for me. I want to be able to view any site. I want to be able to play videos from the site ie BBC sites.
2. Are you able to buy a device in order to hook up a DVD/RW drive in order to take ot load data to and from the iPad.
3. If I want to print a document / email etc received or created on my iPad is there a way to do this without transferring the document to my laptop for printing.
4. Are there any serious compatibility issues with opening excel spreadsheets or MS Word documents on the iPad.
Thos are my questions for now although I’m sure I’ll have more soon.
Cheers ppl.
Paul

If the video is Flash, it will not play on an iPad/iPhone/Touch. There is no flash. If a website has been smart and converted their video to a supported format, it will play.
2. Are you able to buy a device in order to hook up a DVD/RW drive in order to take ot load data to and from the iPad.
No.
3. If I want to print a document / email etc received or created on my iPad is there a way to do this without transferring the document to my laptop for printing.
There are some printing apps in the App Store. You would need to research if any are compatible with your printer.
To be honest, it sounds like a laptop would be a more appropriate device for you based on your questions.

What is the Advantage of the IPad or Netbook?

I think I would enjoy the Apple iPad but what advanages would I obtain from using the Ipad rather than my netbook? And as I have stated I am not computer or technology knowledable. So, what are some of the best reason I would enjoy the iPad rather than my netbook? I currently use my Acer, 11.6" screen Netbook for my minor computer needs. Which are basically to check my email, chat, shop and research. I am online through my AT&T Local Service. I enjoy the compact size and weight of the netbook but even it can be too much when you use it all day. I am hoping the Ipad will be more user friendly and I will learn to use more of the applications available. My Netbook has a standard size typing keyboard and little larger than the 10" screen. It is pretty fast and reliable but I believe the New Generation Apple iPad 16gb / 9.7" color touch pad monitor will be easier to use. It may take me a while to get use to the touch screen since even my Kindle 3G/Wi-Fi Ereader has an exteriour typing pad. I like it since I can type a little faster but am sure I can learn to use the touch pad if it does not scroll back up before you can finish your typing? I experienced this problem with a Pandigital I bought and returned for the Kindle. I really like the speed and ease of the 3G wireless on the Kindle but do not want to pay a fee each month to use the best feature it has. Especially, since I will still have to pay for my cell phone, and Wi-Fi AT&T Service for my computer and there is no charge for this great AT&T Service on the Kindle. Also, the kindle is not in color but the special ink used for reading makes it so easy to see, I do not mind it not being in color. I am an avid reader and will continue to use it just for reading and keeping my books organized. I literally ran out of space at home to put another books and that was the reason I bought the Kindle. But, after reading on it and using it for over a year, I consider it one of the best electronic items I have purchased.
But, I think I need to move into into this century and purchase something more updated for other additional options and use as well. But, will not be any where near the reason most of you very Tech-Savvy Users have them. I doubt I will use the WebCam. Never have on my netbook. Don't even know how. And I believe if I were to find enough friends to use it so we could chat and see each other, I could try and learn to use it. But, hate to add another fee to what I am already paying for services I do not use. I am house-bound and rarely use my cell phone and I had the texting service charge removed since I do not know how to text. And if I were to learn, I would get a nicer more sophicated phone. I have a camer on my cell phone but have never used it. So, I doubt I will use the one on the Ipad. It will still be used for just the basic for me.
Therefore, with my liminted knowledge and use, how much memory would I need and would the 4g wireless be worth the extra money per month? I don't mind paying a 100.00 more for the ipad with that option but if I do not plan on paying for the service, do I need this option avaiable to me? I don't believe it can be added later? And how do you chose from Version. Do they offer to add an iPad to your current cell phone plan or is it a seperate service and charge? I am also hoping I will be able to add whatever it takes so I can use a printer with the Ipad? But, other than this, I cannot think of other special features I woudl need? So, dear Tech-Savvy friends and users, I am looking forward to your recommendations and personal comments on just what Ipad would be the best for me to get. And hope you may have some good recommmendation who will have the best price on one. I think I should get the latest version becuase of all the great reviews on the quality of the new screen. Mt vision since my cataract surgery has become more blurry rather than better and I need to make sure the reading screen is good for the eyes. I found a couple of good buys at Amazon and checked them out at Best Buys, and QVC. It seems they all run about the same price. Amazon may have been a little less but it was not for a new one and I need the new warrantly. That will give me time to try it out and make sure I will like and use it, If anyone lives in the Columbia, SC area, please let me know. I would like to pay someone to teach me more about word processing, uploading and downloading pictures and how to get good pictures from a digital camera. I would like to learn to maybe sell a few things on eBay. But, not sure I can lean all of this in my lifetime:)
Thanks in advance to those who do care and are willing to assist people like me who have no idea what I need to buy. I may be very tech-challenged. However, there is one thing I do know, and that is where to find you experts who do not mind sharing your great knowledge and helping others like myself. I realize there is tons of information available but for some of us, we need more personal information and explanations that is not provided by the manufactures. I have been so blessed to receve just the information I need from those who care and are happy to share. So, which iPad will it be?
Thanks and God Bless,
Sunny in SC

Thank you Alan and know you are right. I really can do all I need with my netbook and ereader and do not need the ipad. I think I just wanted something new and felt I may enjoy using it a lttle more than the netook. But it would be a waste just to buy one when I donlt acutally need it And, donl't think it is worth the extra money for me the get the 4g wireless capability since I doubt I would really need it often.
I may treat myself to the Ipad for the color, touchpad and fun to use but it is very expensive considering how little it will do for me no more than the things I want it for. It woudl be and expensive luxuray, I can do without. I actually need t learn how to use more of the function avaiable first. Maybe I should take up playing games and learning to take digital pictures so I can at least load them. If I could learn to do that and take a decent picture, I could start selling back all the "stuff" I have purchased on ebay. haha - I do have a nice doll collection, I would like to sell. I just do not have room for anything else. That was the primary purpose for the Kindle Ereader I bought and enjoy so much,
But, I will hold onto the thought for a while and see how it goes and what other comments I get, If I think I cannot live without it, then I will have to rethink which one to buy, I coud get the 32 g if I did not have to pay for the 4g wireless. And, if I knew I could get help to teach me how to use and enjoy all the functions, I would give it more serious consideration. My granddaugther got one for Christmas and that was what got me interested in it. I love the size of the screen and it had good color and was fast. She even had an application where she could write her notes and it would convert into typed words. That was a neat feature, If you could print it?
But thanks again for your comments and I will check later to see I get any other feedback.
