Question on IPAD's Speedy 4G Eats Data in a flash

When I purchased my brand new Apple's IPAD, 4G, I also purchased a 2G data plan. Now comes the new that the my IPAD speedy 4G eas up data in a flash.
My question is: I have already purchased and downloaded some Ibooks on my shelf. So everytime when I open my book to read from the shelf, does this article I just mentioned applies? In other words I am not accumulating additonal data that would gulp up my monthly 2MG data plan.

Ok your are thinking wrong way about this. The reports you are reading do not mean that by same usage as on old iPad your data goes faster. A random online video is a certain size, and it doesn't matter if you download it off iPad 2 with 3G to iPad 3 with 4g. The file size (let's say is 400mb). So both iPads will consume same amount of data. File sizes and your consumption of data does not change because you are on 3G or 4g device. The reason they see saying users use up 4g faster is because due to such significant increase in Internet speed, users go through a lot more content in the same period of time as it would have taken on 3G device.. So if you never busted over your 3G limit before I wouldn't worry about it.
Btw once you download a book you do not consume any additional data unless you bookmark or something along those lines because at that point iCloud will do a sync, but that's such a minimal consumption again that I wouldn't worry about it

Hello ,
I want to ask some question about ipads \
How powerful is the iPad?
How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?
please help me

it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

Contact iTunes Customer support... it is not possible to bypass Activation Lock.

IPad downloading enormous amount of data

We set my folks up with an iPad2 a few months ago, and it has been using extraordinary amounts of data. They live in the country and broadband and dsl are not available, so we have them set up on a cellular hotspot for internet access, which the iPad views as wi-fi. All was fine with a desktop and a netbook. Once we added an iPad to the mix, their data use has skyrocketed. Recent monitoring is showing approximately 1G per day. They are retired and are only doing facebook, email and an occasional view of a website for shopping. Have turned off auto-play of videos on facebook and shut down everything I can think of that might be using data. Yesterday's activity still showed just over 1G of data downloaded and about 100M uploaded.
One note - my mother has Parkinson's, and is the primary user of the iPad. Due to the tremors from PD, she tends to tap the screen repeatedly while using. Is it possible that each tap is causing a refresh and downloading everything all over again? Would that result in the enormous download figures?
I've also seen threads where there were issues with iPhones on AT&T using large amounts of data. Any chance there is a similar problem with an iPad on cellular hotspot? Provider is US Cellular, not AT&T, but makes me curious.
Thanks for any thoughts or help you can provide.

Poke around in the settings. Background app refresh can chew data - that's where the iPad reaches out and constantly updates the weather and other apps so that you have fresh data at any point in time....which you don't really need. If you only check the weather once a day you don't need it refreshed every 15 minutes.
Not a way to find it but maybe a way to control it, put the iPad in airline mode unless you're actively using it. That turns off the antennas and keeps it from accessing data.

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

I bought an Airport Express from a supplier who told me I'd need at least iOS 5.4 on my iPad. My first generation iPad is apparently up to date but the iOS is only 5.1.1. Before I unpack the device I want to know whether it will work with this earlier version.

Apple says that a minimum of iOS 5.0 is required. See the support document below. Look for Requirements on the left hand side of the page about half way down.
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.0 or later.

If you have been syncing your old iPad regularly with your computer you can sync the new iPad to the same computer and transfer your stuff easily that way.

Does Ipad - 2 require its own data plan

Does an ipad 2 require its own data plan?

Yes - if it is a 3G iPad. Each 3G device requires its own data plan. You do not have to activate a data plan - you can just use the WiFi and get a data plan if and when you need it.

As of today, ios 7 is available for Apple devices. I went to settings, then to general, and to software updates, but it says at iOS 6.1.3 my iPad 2 is up to date. How can I download https iOS 7?

Well, now is probably not a good time to try it. The servers are overloaded, and if you look at most of the posts on this site right now, people are getting hung up at various points of their download and activation.
You need to hook your device up to the computer you sync with and download it via iTunes, or keep checking your device until you see IOS 7 is available.
But my advice would be to wait - otherwise you are just going to be frustrated, and unable to use your device....

Question re. iPad presentation - zoom on text?

Hi,
I have used the InDesign CS5.5 and DPS to create a presentation to be viewed on an iPad. Having spent a lot of time what works, and what doesn't I now something I am nearly happy with.
One question that people ask though is why they cannot pinch open/zoom in on the page in order to make it easier to read the text, like you would on most iPad apps. Can I set this up with the text?
Any one help with this?
Many thanks

....only when there is no interactivity on that page.

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Why is my iPad constantly sending/receiving (?) data via wifi?

I notice that even when I am not using my iPad that my modem is indicating that data is being transferred (no other devices connected) and when I turn off the wifi mode on the iPad the lights on the modem no longer flash. I have attempted to turn off anything that I think might be running in the background...???

Thank you, that seems to help some. I have turned off the main switch in "background app refresh" but I still see activity on my modem (?).

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Some of my tunes are assigned to a former email address and I can't remember the password. The security questions won't let me pass my date of birth, which they say is incorrect! I think I know my DOB. What can I do to remedy this

My laptop now has a different email address so there are certain tunes that won't play as hey are assigned to the old address. I can't remember the old password and the security question won't allow me past my date of birth, which they say is incorrect!! I certainly know my DOB. Is there anyway I can unlock these tunes?

Have you exhausted the options here?
