He "seller" resets the iPad for me to use, do I have to get it re-activated or purchase a contract/service plan if I ONLY ever plan to use the iPad for Wifi Only???

Question to all the pros..I'm looking to purchase an iPad 4g second hand. Once the "seller" resets the iPad for me to use, do I have to get it re-activated or purchase a contract/service plan if I ONLY ever plan to use the iPad for Wifi Only???

No you don't need a service plan to use wifi. Take special precautions to make sure the seller is the owner. Be sure all their information has been removed properly. If it were me I wouldn't give the person the money until the iPad is registered in my name. I've read too many horror stories of people buying iPads they'll never be able to use because someone else's ID was still on it.

I am trying to decide what gig i need. I want to use the Ipad for my books for college.

I need to know what gig to get... I want to use the ipad for my college textbooks to take them to class on it. How many etextbooks would the ipad hold?

Caveat to the above: books that have a lot of pictures or graphics can be quite large; many megabytes. If you can find out from your college program what books you'll need, check to see if 1) they're available; many textbook publishers have yet to provide textbooks as e-books and 2) if they are available (from one of the e-book providers; you can use Kindle, Nook and Google books on your iPad in addition to Apple's iBooks) how large they are. Then you can add the sizes up, figure out what else you might want on your iPad (movies, for instance, take up a lot of space) and determine what capacity you'll need. When it doubt, buy more capacity than you think you'll need; an iPad can't be expanded later if you run short.

I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?

Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

Hi, we are a small clinic that uses the iPads for therapy. If we purchase an app for one iPad, can all of them download the same app at no additional cost?

Allan was somewhat incomplete in his statement. While technically it would be possible, from a licensing standpoint you need one license for each iPad unless those iPads were all going to be used by the same person (which I think unlikely given your described use). Here are the relevant terms of the iTunes Store agreement (emphasis mine):
"(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license."
So you would legally need to purchase one copy of the app for each iPad, something which would require an iTunes Store account for each iPad. For normal purchases, each iTunes Store account would need an associated credit card or prepaid iTunes card.
The Volume Purchase Plan works similarly - you still need one license and one iTunes Store account for each iPad - but the purchasing is centralized so you don't get billed multiple times. You get one recemption code for each license you purchase. See:

Can anyone tell me how to scan documents to the icloud, so they will be on the ipad. My husband is planning on using the ipad for work.

Can anyone tell me how to scan documents to the icloud, so they will be on the ipad? My husband is planning on using his ipad for business. I haven't been able to even find anywhere that I could read about scanning documents.

If you scanned the documents - what format did you save them in - pdf? If so, Pages will not open pdf files. you can save a file and export it as a pdf from Pages - but not the other way around.
If you need simply view the documents - you can send them to the iPad via email or DropBox and them open and save them in iBooks. or Adobe Reader. both apps are free. Adobe Reader can use file sharing in iTunes to transfer the files.
If you need to annotate the files - you will need an app like Goodreader - which can use file sharing from iTunes in order to transfer the files as well. GoodReader may work with iCloud now, but you will have to check that out in the App Store.
You can read this to see how to use file sharing. It really is pretty easy to use. You do need to do this with your computer.

HT1695 I am at home and have a wireless router on my DSL line. I have been using the iPad for about a month without difficulty and tonight it will not connect. I do not understand why and yes, I am electronically challenged so be gentle!

I recently purchased an iPad after using a laptop and PC for years. I use a wireless router connected to a DSL line at home and have been using the iPad without difficulty for about a month and tonight it will not connect to the Internet. There is not a problem with the DSL or router. I am using the laptop now. Could someone please give this eectnically challenged individual assistance?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Using the ipad for coding while travelling (mobile NAS?)

Hi there,
I am aware this sounds a bit cooky; getting a Macbook air is certainly easier, but:
I am looking for input from other people who are using their iPad for coding.
Apps like textastic require internet(/server) access, however sometimes that's neither available nor preferable, e.g. when travelling in foreign countries.
For building lightweight php sites or small CMS based sites, it would be perfect to have some sort of mobile localhost access,
or at least something that doesn't require internet.
Wouldn't it be possible to run a webserver from let's say, a small wireless HDD/NAS?
Don't know any really small options. Any reccomendations?
Another way would be to install lighthttpd via cydia I suppose, but can textastic even access this then?
Any other ideas I am missing?
thx folks!
Phil

HT5622 Why do I have to reset my apple ID when I dont use the ipad for a while

Hi,
I do not use my ipad everyday, and when I have left it 2/3 days I get a message to Reset my apple ID. Which means I have to keep making up a new password, does anyone know what I have to do to securely keep a password, instead of keep losing it. Thankyou.

An Apple ID is associated with an icloud account and/or an itunes account. Which of these do you mean?
By reset, do you mean having to re-enter the password or do you have to change it? If this is on an iOS device, I suspect you need to sign out of your account and back in. (Did you recently change your ID's password? That would cause your problem.)
For example, for icloud: Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. Then log in again using the right password.

HT1222 my Ipad touch screen is not responding so i can not use the ipad for anything.

i left my ipad in my car after ten minutes return to use ipad but could not log on because the touch screen is not responding. i try updating but to no avail
pls somebody should tell me what to do before i lose my mind because its really frustrating

Did you try rebooting?
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Why can't I hear sound from my keynote presentation while using Apple TV? Presentation is in 5 days and this is my first time using the iPad for presentation.

I am new to apple. But a quick convert since I just went out and got the iPhone as well.
I am using keynote Apple TV and the iPad wireless
I made a mini movie in iMovie trailer and have it in my presentation. Everything mirrors perfectly except the sound on the audio. So I can see the movie just can't hear it.
Presentation is in 5 days and I'm starting to get nervous haha
Any help is hugely appreciated

is I learn still around -? That was VERY HANDY!

My daughter uses her iPad for school. Last year she had two textbooks on it. We deleted them, but now it says she doesn't have enough data to even load one. How do you release space?

I need to release space on an iPad so we can download some ibook textbooks.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Can I use the iPad to create video of notetaking with audio?

I'm looking to use iBook Author to create some units of study for my students. I want to create a video that is just of my notes (not of my hand writing the notes) and an audio of me explaining what I'm doing while I'm writing the notes. Is there a way to use the iPad for this, or is there a program or an app that I could use for this? I also have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone in addition to my iPad.
Edited to add: What I'm thinking of is somewhat like the Khan Academy uses to teach students in their videos. It's just their writing with audio, but it's not a video of them writing, which makes me think that there's some app or software they're using to show the notetaking that records audio and turns it into a video.

Screenchomp is a good app that we use at a school for this - its owned by Techsmith, the same company that owns Jing and Camtasia, two leaders in the market. Two other options to look at (which I preferred to Screenchomp) are ShowMe and Educreations.
If you're just looking at a co Peter based solution for the MacBook,mid recommend screencast-o-matic.

One of my sons has an ipad mini and the other a larger ipad. The one using the mini needs a larger ipad for school, so they need to switch. They want to do so without losing their individual app progress. Can I simply switch the SIM cards?

SIM card has nothing to do with your Apple ID or apps.
IOS devices do not store anything on the SIM card.
BAckup everything on the iPads.
REstore tbe ipad from the backup of the other iPad.
REpeat for the other one.

I teach music and are using Garageband. I need to find away were my students that are working on a project can export the files and save them somewhere, so when they 7 days later open Garage band can import there song with all the correct midi-tracks. When I export the song to Icloud the song become an Mp4 file (I think). And I can import the files via Icloude.
This is because too many times the song has been sabotages during the week

Dan,
your students could store their projects in iCloud, only you would continously have to change the AppleIDs of the iPads, so each student could store the songs with their own AppleID. I don't think this will be feasable.
The other possibility would be to share the projects to iTunes and to download them to iTunes on a Mac at the end of each lesson. Does your school have Macs? This will not work with PCs.
