When to buy? Giving an Ipad as a gift next week?

Giving a gift of a Ipad 3-G to a person at a conference next week. With the announcement of the Ipad two coming out today. How soon do you think Apple will begin shipping. I would rather see a Ipad two as the gift then the Ipad one. What is Apple's policy of allowing a person to upgrade from one to the other if it has not been used?
Thanks,

Until Apple officially makes an announcement, no one knows the answer of when a new device is going to be released. Last year, it was about 6 to 7 weeks between the announcement and product launch.
There is no upgrade policy. You either sell the first device or if you are in the return window, you return it for a refund and buy the new device.

I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
I don't see the 8250 listed. HP has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers; search the iTunes Store and you should find it as well as some other printing apps. Otherwise you can connect the printer to your computer and route the printing through the computer. f you have a Mac, Printopia might be worth a look:

If you have a Windows system, search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing.
Another option is an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

When u buy storage for iPad in iCloud and can't download anything after it

HHave iPad 2 16g bought 15g storage threw iCloud but can't download movies

You can't buy additional iPad storage without buying a higher capacity iPad; iCloud storage is separate from that on the devices itself. You need to delete content from the iPad until it has enough free space to store the movies.

Nobody here works for Apple, we are all just users, so have no way of knowing the answer to your question.

When I buy a 16gb iPad air, how much space do I actually have after pre-installed apps? Can any of those be deleted?

How much space do you get on a ipad air 16gb considering the pre-installed apps? Can any of those be removed to free up space?

With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.
For a 16 GB device that is 2.4 - 3.2 GB free. So 13 minus 3= 10 GB of storage for music, photos, movies and documents.

I am a US citizen in school in Montreal and I was given a US Apple Store gift card. How can I buy the new iPad using my gift card and with a school discount?

I am a grad student from NYC and at a university in Montreal. I was given a 500$ gift card as a gift to put towards a new ipad. BUT, I apparently cannot use the US gift card in Canada. So, what do I do? I have no time to head back to NYC to get it. I want to order it, but not sure they will ship to montreal...? And was thinking of sending it back to my parents and then have them buy it and mail it to me, but I I think them having to pay tax on this is ridiculous. On top of that, I should be able to garner the ed discount but I dont think the US recognizes Canadian schools in their system and visa versa. SO if I do buy it in the US, I can use my gift card but I can't get the discount. Or if I buy it here in MTL, I can get the discount but I cannot use the gift card..
Can anyone suggest a solution? all bright ideas welcome.

You can only use a gift card in the country it was issued in - no way around that as the Apple Store does NOT offer currency exchange with gift cards.
Nor can you order from the USA online store and ship to any address outside of the USA - again, no way around that as the online stores do NOT ship internationally.
You could send the gift card back to someone in the USA, to use to purchase your item for you, and then once they receive it, they could ship it to you. Canada customs will hold it until they collect any import fees and taxes levied on imported consumer electronics though.
Either that or buy it in Canada with the discount, and use the card later when you get home again.

If I buy a new ipad, can I restore my old apps and other thing on from my old ipad, to my new one ?

Hi,
I plan to sell my ipad 2 and I was wondering do my apps and films ect... Get stored on my iTunes ? So when I buy a new ipad I can use the same i tunes and upload them back on the new ipad.
Thanks.

If they are not already in your computer's iTunes library then you can copy your iTunes purchases from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
As long as they remain available in the store then apps can also be re-downloaded via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes - depending upon what country that you are in, and whether they remain in the store, you may also be able to re-download music, films and tv shows via that link.
You can also backup your current iPad and in the future restore that backup onto a new iPad : backups and restores. Note that the backup doesn't contain your apps or media (films, music etc), it just contains the content of your apps e.g. game progress, documents etc, so you should still do the Transfer Purchases

I downloaded Magzter app button iPad 2 but when I buy magazines it is not getting downloaded but the same is getting downloaded in my iPod. Pl help. Magzter support is unable to help.

You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?

Why when i buy books on my ipad, when i log onto the store it does not show that i have purchased them?
how many books and songs were therefore lost when i had to wipe my ipad?
this is SHOCKING from Apple... this is not in my domain of settings!!!

In the iBooks application on the Mac, there is a checkbox to sync highlights and notes across devices.
I don't see a similar setting in the iBooks app on my iPad. It may require iBooks on the Mac as a mediator.
Also:
Can I highlight text and make notes?
Yes, iBooks includes built-in Highlight and Note features. Highlight any word or passage of text within a book. You can also create a Note from your highlighted selection. Review your Highlights and Notes by tapping the Table of Contents button and then tapping Bookmarks. Highlights and Notes appear in their own section under Bookmarks.

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset 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.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Anybody can help me understand if the Ipads becomes ready to be used in all world regions with 3G and or 4G infrastructure? I mean, are all of them released or when I buy one in the US to be used in Argentina I need to ask for a released one, less cheaper

anybody can help me understand if the Ipads becomes ready to be used in all world regions with 3G and or 4G infrastructure? I mean, are all of them released or when I buy one in the US to be used in Argentina I need to ask for a released one, with add costs?

There are two versions of the current iPad, the WiFi only (which will work anywhere in the world, but only connect to WiFi networks) and the 3G/4G model. The latter will connect to 3G networks worldwide, as I understand it, but the only 4G networks it can connect to are in the US and Canada.

What virus scan if any is on the original iPad when you buy it

What virus protection if any is on the original iPad. When you buy it?

Lets consider a few things, is the iPad generally safe on the interwebs without some sort of third party scan (scam) ware in your premise.
Lets risk assess how many most/all PC and later day Mac systems become infected/compromised .
They are auto downloads through a browser or Email attachments with auto-scripting of some sort.
Open ports (no fire walling)
Social engineering.
And via Flash scripting.
1) Now as for the IPad, built in protection consists of preventing virtually anything being downloaded/installed via the web browser. PDF can be but viewed within a sandbox.
2) All authorized apps are distributed and installed only via Apples approval process via the App Store and ITunes
(Some corporates can install their own software via private channels at a cost)
3) A factory (Not jailbreaked) ios device has no access to command line so no ports can not be opened with ease.
4) Social engineering - this usually involves driving the victim to their web browser then see point 1 above or point 5 below.
5) Apple and Adobe haven't found a way to get a version of Flash to work on ios devices within the Apple released developer SDK and APIs. So no risk of running compromised Flash in foreseeable future at least not on a factory ios device.
6) You do however run the very real risk of theft and even this has been considered with Find My iPad/iPhone apps and remote locking and system wiping functionality.
Other than adding resource overhead what else could third party virus scanning do on such a locked down system ?
