HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

Why won't the books from my itunes sync with my ipad?

I am wondering why the books in my itunes on my pc won't sync with my ipad?

Do the songs play OK in iTunes?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I get hi-res photos from iPhoto to sync with new iPad

I hooked my new iPad up, and synced my iPhoto library to it, but once I went to view the photos on the iPad, it looks like they have all been turned into super low-resolution grainy versions.
I was wondering if anyone had any luck getting full-size photos to sync - I have lots of space and a retina display so I want full versions of my photos.
FWIW, I also sync an iphone with the same Mac; and I know for the iPhone that iTunes will reduce photo resolution before syncing to save space. I am guessing maybe my sync with the new iPad just re-used those lo-res versions - so I am hoping there must be some way to force iTunes to NOT use those versions of the photos.

Problem synching photos from PC to iPad air. Using iTunes it gives me option when I connect iphone to synch from ' my photos' however with the iPad it just gives me option one folder at a time. And once it has synch it if I try to synch another it just

Hi I'm not very computer literate so pls be gentle! I bought an iPad air two days ago and synch my photos using iTunes just fine.
Today for some reason I noticed all these white thumbnails on my laptop in the photos section. Stupidly I deleted all 600 of them and all my photis on the iPad immediately vanished. Later I restored the photos from the recycling bin to my photos
However now I try to re synch them there is no option to synch from ' my pictures' just each little folder ( whereas before I had a drop down box and could select which folders I wanted) however when I synch iphone it does offer the option
Anyway even if I synch each folder it will kep replacing the last one so I can only ever have one folder of photos on the iPad if u see?
How can I transfer my photos please?
And how can I get the option back of the drop down box and tick as many folders as I want?
Many thanks

or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling

How do I stop iTunes from synching TV shows with my iPad?

I have purchased the latest Mad Men TV series from iTunes using my iPad. Therefore, the entire season is now on my iPad. When I have the iPad in my house and iTunes is active on my Mac, synching begins (as I would like it to), but iTunes automatically attempts to download Mad Men from the iTunes store, and/or synch it from my iPad. I have tried to un-check the "Synch TV Shows" button in iTunes, and furthermore, have only checked for iTunes to automatically download purchased music files to my Mac. But despite these selections, as soon as iTunes senses my iPad on my WiFi network, it starts to synch Mad Men! How do I get this behavior to stop?

Are my purchased songs automatically being added? How do I prevent them from being added?
5502,
You can do that from the iPad itself.
Go into your iPad and touch the Settings icon. Then, from the left-hand list, choose "iTunes & App Store."
This will give you a section about "Automatic Downloads." There you can enable or disable Music, Apps, and Updates.

How do I share music from my old pc with my iPad and iPod?

Hey Dlkea2065,
Thanks for the question. If you simply wish to share your music wirelessly to your devices (while connected to the same network), then Home Sharing is what you are looking for:

Do you mean an Apple AirPort Express?

Photos disappeared from albums another problem with my iPad!

Some of the albums in my iPad photo section have, for no reason I can understand, become empty of photographs they held. I've spent a lot of time downloading these photographs and I'm desperate to get them back. Can anyone help me with this please?

so there is no button on the setting to enable or disable the 3g internet connectivity??
That is what I said.

Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. How to get rid of this problem? Iregularly travel from the Netherlands to France.

Ever since I was with my iPad in France, it goes to the French app store instead of to the Netherlands' one. As a consequence, I am unable to download any app. Not in France, because my bank account number is Dutch (it says), not in the Nteherlands because I should buy in the Dutch app stoe.
How to get rid of this problem? I regularly travel from the Netherlands to France.
Thanks in advvance,

I recently traveled in Egypt with my iPad. Iam back in the US, but I wanted to download an app, and I get a message that I cannot download from the Australian store, and I need to switch back to the USA how do I do this?

I recently visited Egypt with my iPad. I am now back in the USA. I tried to download a new app, and I got a message that I could not download from the Australian store. I was told I need to switch back to the USA store. I did not deliberately switch to the Australian store. Why doesn't the iPad automatically switch back to the USA.

Experience of traveling through Great Britain and Germany with my iPad

I wanted to share my experiences regarding traveling through Great Britain and Germany with my iPad.
It should be noted that my son brought his netbook with iTunes on it so it was simple to get the carrier file for microsims. I think if you are travelling without an additional system for the update, a quick visit to an apple store would take care of it.
*First stop: Scotland/England*
The day after I got to Scotland we found a 3 store. I walked in found a iPad specific sim hanging on the wall, took one and brought it to a rep who took my ten pounds and activated the sim. All in all, it took about five minutes. It popped it in when we got back to the hotel and connected the iPad to my son’s netbook, iTunes popped up, I told it not to sync and then it offered to update the carrier file. I clicked okay and a few minutes later I had 3G up and running with 250 megs of pre-paid data. In my last few days in London I did another 10 pound top-up as we found ourselves relying on the mapping functionality a lot.
Coverage-wise, 3 was quite good. The only places I had problems was when we were on a four-day hike along Hadrian’s Wall where I found the signal coming and going.
All in all it was a great experience and I give it an A.
*Second stop: Germany*
Germany was a completely different thing.
Both Vodaphone and O2 shops do not have sims in stock. You need to pre-order the sims and have them mailed to a German address. On top of that, one of them (I can’t remember which) wanted 25 euro just for the sim. The reps in the store were always unhelpful, many did not even know that iPad sims were available form their respective companies and several mentioned that because “no one wanted an iPad in Germany” they didn’t see the point in carrying the sims. So no 3G in Germany for me.
On top of that, WiFi was not all that common. Even places that advertised free wifi often told us it was currently broken.
So, iPad travel experience in Germany: D-

I just returned from 1 of only 2 carriers(telcel main office only)where I live in Los Cabos, Mexico, I just paid $149 pesos/$11.60 US for a sim and I was told they needed me to bring my ipad in, after about 1 hour they finally gave me my sim, and then said at least 24 hours for activation. There is no easy way from what I have been told to add money/time, you can go to their main office and pay for exactly whatever plan you want, you must return to their office to renew using this method, the other way is to buy a prepaid card and supposedly enter the code into the ipad, but none of the cards denominations correlate with the plans that are offered. I have lived here 20 years so nothing surprises me anymore. It was basically a cluster---, due to the fact nobody seemed to have a clue about the ipad, I jokingly asked if I was their first ipad customer, they said I was their 2nd. So it seems to me, if you had planned to use this "magical ipad" for travels in different countries, you had better make sure you have wifi, or take your laptop instead. I am somewhat disappointed that apple wants to sell millions of these, yet does not make sure their carriers know what is going on. Either I misunderstood all the hype and ad's, or this thing probably is best used only where you know you can receive wifi. I bought 3 ipads, this last one a 3g, I can see I will have to bring my laptop on all travels if I want to be assured of having internet, it seems apple should concentrate a bit more on customer service instead of sales. I will update when and if I get a connection.
buenos suerte…
