Looking for recommendations for a keyboard/stand for the iPad

I have the bluetooth stand alone one for Apple TV but my wife wants a keyboard/stand combined and wants tro know where the mouse would be?
I know Logitech and Zagg both do the keyboard but what about the mouse?
All recommendations welcomed

I use the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard, and I love it. The iPad easily attaches and detaches. The Keyboard acts as a cover in one configuration, move the iPad to the slot and it is a nice stand. It is firm enough in the slot that you can use the back of the keyboard (behind the slot) as a handle to view the iPad vertically. Or you can easily use the iPad on its own. Magnets help to reseat the iPad when you are ready to reattach it.
The keyboard action is quite nice as well.
The version for the iPad Air doesn't close as well as the previous versions - not sure why. I almost didn't buy it because of this. But I am very glad that I did buy it, and in reality with a little care it isn't a problem.

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it?

If I'm reading a book on the iPhone and I want to pick up where I left off on my iPad, do I have to search for what page I was on on the iPad or is there a way to sync it? Or do I just have to search for a string of text from my iPhone on my iPad?

On both devices go to Settings>iBooks>Sync Bookmarks>On. Then when you want to quit reading on one device, tap the bookmark in the upper right corner and it will turn red. That marks your place. Close the book on the device now by tapping on the Library button in the upper left corner of the app. That will put the closed book back on the shelf. Tap the home button.
On the other device, when you tap on the book, it should open to that page. You have to be connected to WiFi in order for this to work. You can read this older discussion for more information. I was involved in that as well.

TS4036 Error Message: This iPad hs not been backed up for 3 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.

How do I clear up this Issue? Error Message: This iPad hs not been backed up for 3 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.
I plugged it in and it is charging now. It will not allow me to unlock it and when I push the 'ok' button for the error message, it still appears....will not go away.
Do I just allow it to charge and it will automatically backup itself? If not, what do I do?

Hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. This will restart the phone and give you access again.
To troubleshoot your iCloud backup, try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

Can apps bought for Macbook Pro also be put on the iPad?

Can apps bought for Macbook Pro also be put on the iPad? I bought the app "pages" for my mac book pro and would like to put it on my ipad as well.

No. The iPad is running iOS and your MacBook runs OSX.
You need to purchase the iPad version of Pages.

How do I leave a review for an app that I downloaded on the iPad?

I downloaded an app on the iPad (not through another device) and there's no option for me to leave a review from the iPad itself. I log into iTunes on my laptop and there's no option there either; it prompts me to download it... it's already installed!

In the iPad App Store app, find the app (which you can do from the Purchased tab at the bottom), go to its description page, and scroll down - just above the current reviews should be 'Write a Review >'

Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?

Hi, I know that this might be deemed as stupid but I am just curious: Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?
Is the surface keyboard bluetooth enabled ? If so, then it should work, right?

No, it would not. The Surface is optimized and uses a different operating system than iOS7.
I'm pretty sure that both the Surface and iPad Air can use Bluetooth; but Bluetooth peripherals might or might not be recognized.

Only use a computer for email, internet, basic computing. Is the ipad a better option than a macbook?

Used to have a macbook, bought it back in '07, had to sell it shortly thereafter.
Don't have a computer now and need one.
Looking over the macbook pro, I am wondering if it is too much computer for me.
I use a computer for emails, surfing the web and twitter.
I'm wondering if the ipad would be a better fit, or if I should be looking for a computer.
Thanks.

MacBook air just perfect i have an iPad 2 ( I know it's an old one but it is almost same ) i mostly need pc for stuff and normally I like to download movies for that I need a good memory which you won't get on an iPad best choice for you is a 11 or 13 inch MacBook air iPad is bettween comp and a phone it is good but not enought ( altleast for me ) if you take an iPad u won't the benefits of downloading zip files and many other files but with a MacBook you can do it as it supports all iPad is good for presenting stuff good for reading books , web pages are good too ( flash is not there so some sites are not good ) editing word docs or slidshows are nice and easy but not fully usefull ( simple editing options) if you convert the files say into doc it gets messy on a comp to see , plus doc files with lots of stuff like photos and tables gets messed up but if we convert to PDF then you get a nice experience , MacBook has many options in pages , numbers , keynote , you will like an iPad even I like it but like u even I am looking for a MacBook right now as I need to back up files and download movies anyways it decides unto u so go to the apple shop he will help u choice the right choice a person here will only tell good stuff and suggest what he likes but if you go to the apple store he will give you the perfect choice for u

Can't sign up for 1GB $20 Verizon Data Plan on the Ipad

I have a 32GB Verizon iPad2. I have tried repeatedly to sign up for the 1 GB $20.00 Verizon Data Plan but when I click on the Next button after filling out all of the account information (including selecting the 1GB level plan) a summary account screen flashes that shows that I have selected the 10GB $80 plan!! Then in about 2 seconds that screen disappears and the terms and conditions screen appears with the options to Back or I Agree, or Cancel the screen altogether. So I either Back or Cancel. I have called Verizon--they have no idea. Called Apple and they had me set up a Genius Appt. Anyone else having this problem? Just received the iPad this past Tuesday.

Well now I have 3G service. This is what I did since I posted this question. I got iPad2 the Missing Manual and started reading it. It very clearly said that after you fill in the account information, you get the terms/conditions screen and then you get a summary of the account and a chance to change it before you finally agree. So I decided to do it again, and this time ignore the screen that says I want the $80.00 plan. And yes, it then took me to the account summary page and there was the 20.00 plan and 1 GB! Yeh!! I have just tried it and it works and I then shut it down brought it back in the house and it is now on the WiFi. Go figure what that flashing page is doing!

I bought the new ipad in Brea Apple store in Oct 1st. I know it is out of return date, but I have bought it only for 24 days. Can I exchange the ipad with retina or give me the $100 price difference?

I bought the new ipad in Brea Apple store in Oct 1st. I know it is only 15days to return or refund. but I have bought the new ipad only for 24 days, and now it
devalueted $100. I can't accept this fact. Therefore, can I exchange my ipad ? or give me the 100$ price difference ?
thanks BTW Do you have any Chinese customer services, I think I can contact you more convenient with Chinese.

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. The only people who will reply to your posts are your fellow users.
You would need to talk to the Apple Store from which you purchased the iPad. Apple's official return policy is 14 days, though it's been reported that the manager of some Apple Stores have been waiving that limit.
I doubt very much that the Apple Store will have anyone who speaks Chinese, though of course you can ask.
Regards.

I'm a pc user, going to enroll in NTU Civil Engineering in SG, I was wondering, can i use an Ipad for my next 4 years? Will the Ipad run AutoCAD? My gf's going for USM pharmacy, can she use an ipad for her course? Both of us would use Office a lot.

Please kindly help me, this might be my first switch to Apple.

No, the iPad is an iOS device, running a lightweight operating system. It does not run MacOS (which is what you want to run Microsoft Office and AutoCAD) like an iMac, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro.
Please see the Autodesk System Requirements of AutoCAD for Mac.
I suggest you visit an Apple Store to get your hands on the products for yourselves. The staff is very knowledgeable and will help you find the right solution for your needs.
Edit: Color me surprised, a mobile version! I would check with the Engineering department and see if using the mobile version is suitable or not as it has a limited tool set. I would lean towards a laptop like the other poster above.

I forget the password for my apple account how to activate the IPad?

Dears I forget the password for my apple account and I reset my Ipad but still asking for the previos user and password to activate the IPad?

Is the iPad asking for the password to your Apple ID or to a previous owners ID? If you are trying to activate an iOS device and it is asking you for a previous owners Apple ID and password you have encountered the Activation Lock. You must enter the previous owner's Apple ID and password or contact the previous owner and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their Find My iPhone. If you purchased this device used, return it and ask them to clear the device or request a refund. Without the original owner's Apple ID and password you will never be able to use the device and no one here can help you activate it.

Will my Imac 27" bluetooth keyboard work with the Ipad?

Just buying the Ipad and would like to know if the bluetooth keyboard that came with my Imac work for document writing, etc. on the Ipad.

be the keboard better? A number would be great. I have a white A1016 that does not work ( few years old and uses four batteries). I have a new A1314 (metallic three battery) that works fine.
Alos, this has been discussed before here. Do a search of previous posts.

IPad will no longer sync with desktop Outlook programs. Wireless keyboard cannot find the iPad. Cannot reset the iPad. What is wrong?

This problem developed in mid December. the synching worked perfectly on my 18 month old iPad 2 until then. Now the iPad will not sink my calendar, contacts and notes from my desktop Outlook program. It does seem to sync my pictures. the wireless keyboard had no problem recognizing the iPad until mid-December. I tried to reset the iPad by pressing the on off and home button concurrently. The iPad logo appeared but the iPad did not reset. Instead, my full configuration on the iPad along with all of my apps simply reappeared. I am at a loss as to what happened and what to do about it.

Your post indicates iOS 4.3 which is now quite old. I am going to suggest restoring your iPad, which, among other things, will update your iOS to the current version.
I recommend restoring your iPad. Make sure you have the current version of iTunes on your computer (currently 11.0.1). Plug your iPad into your computer, let it sync, then press "Restore" on the right side when the summary page of the iPad is displayed in iTuens' display.

Anyone have a tip or app for removing unwanted formatting from text on the iPad?

I have text that was created in Word, sent via email, received on my iPad. I need to get all of the hidden formatting stripped out of this text before pasting into another application. The Notes app works in plain text, but it does not strip all the formatting out of text that has been pasted into it. Anyone have a solution? I have looked at online services and searched for apps but can't seem to find anything that does this.

I also am looking for a better email client. I need the ability to use folders and have email go directly to these folders when checking email. Just sending all email to only one inbox folder is just to confusing. I like the ability to search for email but this feature only helps to a degree. An example would be... I like all my email from tennis friends on my team to go to a separate email folder. I can do this in Microsoft Outlook and this feature makes it a lot easier to view things. Right now the email client is like a physical filling cabnet that has only one folder. The email client does try to group related emails together that I don't think works very well. So far not all email from one person are being grouped together. Some are but not all so I don't know what criteria it is using to determine what is grouped together. To work better I would like every piece of email from the same person to be grouped together. But then again wouldn't it be easer to just have a separate folder for each person or group of people. The reason for this is at a glance there are so many emails in my inbox that I sometimes miss an email. Using folders would allow me to check and scan my inbox a lot easier when there are only maybe a dozen email to view.
Anyone else would like to see this feature?
John
