I tried the tethering and hated it. The connection breaks every time I get > 25 feet from it and it's a pain to reestablish the connection. I suppose if I had to choose between breaking connections every now and then or paying another $100 + $25/month I'd do the tethering.
Or just carrying the phone in your pocket? Just saying.....

    As Phil said, iPad mini is smaller; for most, it fits in one hand. It also has a better camera, and can take advantage of more software features like Siri.

  • What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    What are the benefits of buying from Apple as opposed to other retail stores?

    You can buy from an Apple store, which has a 14 day return policy.
    You can buy on-line from Apple and get a new or refurb model (less $), and get engraving if you want it.
    Some retail stores have a more generous return (30 days?) policy.
    You can buy from an on-line Apple Authorized Reseller. I bought (with free shipping) mine from MacMall because I didn't have to pay sales tax. I paid with my American Express CC to get, for free, an additional 1 year warranty.
    Regardless of where you buy you still get the 30 day Apple Care and 1 year warranty. You can extend, for $, the Apple Care for 2 years. Or you can buy, for $, Apple Care +, which provides accidential damage repair insurance. There's also some 3rd party sources to buy the accidential insurance.
    Some retail stores and on-line stores offer a small discount or add a bonus item.
    It's your choice. Find the best deal.

  • Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through  my iPhone 3GS?

    Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through  my iPhone 3GS?  My provider O2 assures me I can with the tariff I have for my iPhone.   If so, how do I do it???
    Thanks!

    Nope.  Tethering isn't an option until iPhone 4.  My wife has the 3GS and not an option.  Sorry. you need to update your phone, but wait a few months for the iPhone 5 or discounted iPhone 4S.

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

    This new update for the iPhone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5 or all. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are having trouble.

    iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS.  Not all features are supported however.
    With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum?  People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

  • "Unable to Reach Servers" and "Connect to the Internet" Error Messages

    Hi.
    So, I purchased Adobe Audition at $19.99 per month for a year.
    It hasn't worked yet. 
    I've tried all the online forum advice - drop firewall, check hosts file, check some certificate, remove/reinstall Audition ...nothing has worked.  I still get messages saying "Unable to Reach Servers" and "Connect to the Internet."  I'm ALWAYS connected to the Internet.
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, 64-Bit operating system.
    This needs to be fixed, or I want my money back.
    Someone please help.  I'm already 2 days with no access to something I've paid for.  I don't like this.
    -Karen

    Karen did you have any questions regarding the steps listed in Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html.  If your membership is valid then there must be a connection error between the computer and our activation server.
    Are you on a managed network?  Do you utilize a hardware firewall or proxy server?

    Apparently, no one pays it... That's why they shut off your service.

  • What are steps to take music from ipad itunes and add to ipod nano?

    what are steps to take music from ipad itunes and add to ipod nano?

    You will need to transfer any music that you have purchased on the iPad directly from the iTunes Store app to the iTunes app on the computer to which you sync the iPod. You can do that by directly downloading the media from Apple to the computer's iTunes app or by connecting the iPad to the computer and before syncing the iPad transferring purchases that you have made to the computer's iTunes media library. One place that you will find that command is in the iTunes app's File menu.

  • I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    I have set hyperlinks within my ibook author document, they work perfectly until i export and view on the ipad, when only one or none work, (hyperlinks to website not working at all) what am i doing wrong?

    An external hyperlink should handoff to Safari and leave iBooks.
    If that's not happening, perhaps there is something misconfigured on your iPad? Have you manually confirmed those links work in Safari on your iPad?
