Protect iPad without a case?

I have a gold Air 2 that I would love to protect without a case to minimize adding weight or thickness. I have to take it around a crowded school so I am afraid I will nick it up a lot, rather than drop it. I already have one small nick on the shiny border surrounding the white part of the display. I'd love to keep my iPad in as good a condition as possible without using a case.
I was thinking of getting small, clear, adhesive dots to put on the bottom of the iPad to keep it from touching the table. Then I could get a Smart Cover to protect the screen, if needed. It protects everything (from scratches) but the edges which is my concern.
TL;DR good ways to protect the iPad Air 2 without a case?

what i would suggest is to purchase an iPad sleeve. you can use it to set your iPad on it when your working and the sleeve doubles as drop protection http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFXP2ZM/A/herschel-supply-co-anchor-sleeve-for -ipad-air?fnode=3b

What is the cost of replacing a battery for an Ipad 2 in India? On asking the service centre, I was informed the entire Ipad would be replaced for 20K which is exorbitant. Is it advisable to buy the Apple protection program in this case?

I have a password protected Numbers document I created on my MAC and share via DROPBOX. Is there any way to simply view this doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD?

I use NUMBERS on my MAC to create a password protected document. I share this doc via DROPBOX. Is there any way I can view the doc on my IPAD without purchasing NUMBERS for the IPAD? The doc opened fine on the IPAD before protecting it with a password.

Using the term "opened" may have been incorrect on my part. Before password protection, I simply viewed the doc by selecting it within my DROPBOX app. No revisions could be made, but I could view the doc. Now, with the doc password protected, the IPAD states this file can not be viewed.
The IPAD users guide gives a list of files IPAD can view. Unfortunately, I find no info on how to open/view that file should it be protected. If

How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my ipad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad, How can I add photos from my mac to my ipad without deleting the photos on my iPad

I have photos on my Ipad that I copied from my PC (that I am selling) & now want to add my photos from my Mac to keep them all in one place. When I try to sync it says it will delete the photos on my Ipad unless they were taken with the Ipad. How can I just add what is on my Mac to my Ipad without deleting what is on my Ipad?

"OK, so how do I transfer images to my computer? "
This has been answered. The sync is one way - computer to ipad. You can e-mail them to yourself.
" Whenever I connect the iPad to my Mac I get a message telling me that all the photos on the iPad will be replaced. Why?"
This is the design of the product. It will sycn with one computer. Sycning to anotehr will erase hte current content. The ipad simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
"When I connect my mp3 player to my PC, at home, I can find the player in Explorer and edit the contents, move or delete files, add files from my computer etc. All under my controll, simple and easy."
OK. This is not the case with the ipad. It is not designed as a storage device.

Apple Support Says You Can't Activate an iPad without iTunes?

So got a new iPad, activated it over wifi, and have been having problems ever since setting up my log in accounts for various services.
So I called Apple support to learn how to unify my various Apple IDs so that I can just use one going forward. They offered to help, but when their recommendations failed to solve my problem, they suggested I plug the iPad into iTunes, which I cannot do. They told me that it was impossible to activate an iPad without plugging it into iTunes, and insisted I must have done this. When I assured the Apple support member that I did not, they simply told me to take it to a Genius bar, that they couldn't help me any more. Well, the nearest genius bar is 2 hours away.
So my first question is, just who is Apple hiring for technical support these days, and are they not training them any more?
My second question is, is there anyway to leap-frog past this front line poorly trained employees and get to someone who can actually help instead of going to an Apple store?
The problem is this - my iTunes account ID is tied to an old e-mail I no longer have. So I called to change my Apple ID for all services. It now works for iTunes, and iCoud, but not Newstand, or Messenger. Apple says they don't know how to solve the problem without connecting to iTunes, yet this doesn't seem like a local iPad problem, rather an account server problem.
So not really sure where to turn after getting such ridiculously out of touch information from Apple support.

Prior to iOS 5 that was the case, one must have iTunes to activate an iPad or iPhone. iOS5 changed all of that. Either the tech was not aware of the change or was reading from an old script. Either way it is a training problem.

I'm assuming you used an old email address for your Apple ID. If that is the case, and you still have the password for your Apple ID, you can log into Apple's Apple ID support and change the email associated with the ID. Note, you will still always have to use the old email as your login name, but all email will go to the new address. You can also create an entirely new Apple ID using your new email and use that if you wish.

Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

Is there anyway to open a mobi format book on ipad without installing the kindle app but any other app

Have you tried GoodReader? It claims to handle very large file sizes and it's very good for annotations. It's my PDF reader of choice on the iPad
From the GoodReader manual:
File types to view in GoodReader
There are two types of viewing engines - the ones that we've written ourselves, and the built-in device's standard viewing engine. Our own engines provide great flexibility and many additional features not found in the built-in engine (for example, opening very large files). The built-in engine is very powerful and knows many file formats, but has many limitations and no additional features.
Files of very big size (our own viewing engine):
very large PDF files (including password-protected). File size is not the limit. Revolutionary PDF Reflow (Extract Pure Text) mode. See Viewing PDF Files for details.
very large TXT files. See Viewing TXT Files for details.
high-resolution pictures and other graphic files (including slideshow viewing mode). See Viewing Pictures for details.
And as a free bonus - files of normal size (iOS standard viewing engine):
all file formats supported by Safari engine: Microsoft Office files - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML files and Safariwebarchives
iWork'08/09 files - Pages, Numbers, Keynote (files must be saved with Include Preview option)
.ai files saved with PDF Compatible option
audio files (natively supported by iOS)
video files (natively supported by iOS)

HT2729 I have been trying to move a 1 hour movie from my Mac to my iPad without success. I know I have clicked all the right boxes but iTunes is not cooperating.??

Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

How can I get new iPad without camera?

Dear friends.
I need iPad without camera in my work place.
Can I get iPad 4 without camera? Where? How?
Can I change my iPad 1 softeware and put iPad 4 software?
Can I put iPad 4 inside iPad 1 case?

First of all, you can't purchase an iPad 4th Generation without a camera. Second, iPad 4s won't fit into iPad 1 cases, (some may, but the majority won't), lastly, why would you need an iPad without a camera?

You can if you do not live in Florida, apparently. I called this morning to add AppleCare+ and after giving my info (explaining that the Apple Store is 50 miles (at least) from me, I was going strong until she realized that I live in Florida. Apparently, some moron in the FL State Legislature got a bill passed to "protect" senior citizens and you can't buy things like AppleCare+ online or over the phone!! You have to do it in person. Seriously?!? I'm a senior citizen and I knew exactly what I was trying to buy.........she even had to read the description even though I told her I knew all about AppleCare+. As my husband said, "If you're smart enough to go online and pre-order, and set up an iPad, surely you are capable of making a warranty purchase!!!!!!
I even tried calling the Verizon store here, since I bought a VZ version, and even they can't sell it!! Going to Orlando from the beach during Spring Break and Snowbird Season will take up most of a day.......all to spend $99. I may just skip it and keep my fingers crossed that I never need it in a year from now.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Moving Music to iPad without Computer

Sister-in-law has new iPad. She doesn't own computer. How can we put her CDs on her iPad? I can rip her CDs for her, but how can I put them on her iPad without associating them with my iTunes?

First, my handle (whine) is because nothing else seems available. And it fits my mood this evening. So I am stuck with this for the rest of my Apple life.
Similar issue to webkat. My 83 year father-in-law has an iPad which backs up to the ICloud and no computer with a bunch of CDs for his music. I tried the suggestion from lllaassusing the link Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers. The problem is you can not get to the summary screen. Lion and iTunes 10.6 wants to reinitialize my father-in-law's iPad. And his iCloud access wants to mess up my iCloud on my computer when I tried to use it to upload HIS CDs, so I can not link into my Apple ID. Apple may be making great advances in opening the market and bringing in the non-computer generation (and helping the elderly...he likes Facetime but can only answer the call, not make one!) but its paranoia on protection is creating a barrier.
Does the Apple moderator have any suggestions? Or does the wider audience have a non-jail-break suggestion? (He is a retired Chief Master Sergeant [One Chief, One Base]...you DO follow protocal and procedure! )
Help!
From a son-in-law who has now spent 7 hours trying to figure out how to load up the Chief's @$%&! music

I lost my ipad without turn on "Find My Ipad"

hi , i lost my ipad4 with iOS 7.04, this's ipad for my mom, so i didnt let "Passcode ", and i forgot to turn on" Find My Ipad" ! He knows my phonenumber, and tried 2 trick me to get password from Apple ID still being logged in this device (when i changed new passwords 4 all entire accounts apple, gmail, yh, fb, twitter....), he said he could restore it! Is it real? could he restore my Ipad without my apple id , icloud?

phungquocanh wrote:
That OH< , so he could use this device like a new one, is that right? oh, i will turn on "find my ipad" 4 next one to protect it!
That is what I am saying.
Be sure to have an iCloud account (it is free so no excuse ) and turn on iCloud > Find My on all iDevices and if you have a Mac computer, you can turn it on there, also. Find My and iCloud is the only way to track/locate stolen or lost items, but there are limitation - Find My has to be activated, and the device has to be powered on and connected to the internet or it will not show up in iCloud.
If all of those conditions are met, login to the iCloud account, click Find My Phone, and then click the device that has been lost or stolen. Its location should then appear on a map.

How do I copy photos from my Mac to my iPad without deleting the ones that are there?

I understand how to sync photos from my iPhoto library to my iPad. I want to copy photos from my Mac to the iPad without syncing, because syncing deletes everything on the iPad that isn't included in my sync selections. In addition,I have several iPhoto libraries and want to copy photos from each of them to the iPad. A further issue is that apparently photos can be synced from only one computer to the iPad -- how would I copy photos from a different computer? (What happens when I buy a new Mac?) I am extremely experienced with Mac, iPhoto/Aperture, iPad, etc. A year or two ago I transferred 1000 photos to the iPad but I don't remember how, and it was probably done with my previous Mac. Now I just want to add some recent photos without deleting the ones that are there. Bottom line: is there a way to add photos to an iPad without syncing and losing what's there?

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.
Wireless Transfer App Easily send photos to iPhone/iPad ...

How can I restore an app and its data from an old ipad to a new ipad without restoring from backup?

When I purachsed and iPad 2 to replace my old iPad I did not want to restore it from backup for obvious reasons. However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?

The reasons may be obvious to you, but it makes no sense to me. I would think that you would want all of the content that you had transfered onto your new iPad.
However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?
If you lost the data in the apps, you can't get it back unless you restore from a backup - assuming that the backup DID have that data in the apps..
The only way that you can get the apps PLUS the app data onto the new iPad is to restore the new iPad from a backup of the original iPad and sync the apps back onto the new iPad if necessary.
