Which iPad Air capacity number (32, 64 or 128) necessary?

I'm about to buy an iPad Air, but am having a difficult time deciding the best size. I'll be taking videos (and lots of stills), with it and I have no idea how much space these might take together - the video is a real unknown for me. Can anyone expand/inform me. I'm between getting 32, 64 and 128GB. The price should not be a concern - I need facts. Thanks for any thoughts!! -Joan

  • How do I determine which IPad Air model I have?

    How do I determine which IPad Air model I have--Air or Air2? Thanks.

    The single row I'm speaking of goes across the full width of the iPad but is interrupted by the Lightning connector. Here's an ASCII example:
    iPad Air 2
    .  =speaker holes
    O= Lightning connector
    ...............O...............
    iPad Air 1
    : = speaker holes
    O= Lightning connector
    :::::::::::::::O:::::::::::::::
    I mentioned them as being rows and not columns because with a single row as with the Air 2, there are no columns when viewed horizontally...if viewed vertically, the rows will of course turn into columns.

  • Which iPad Air is best to be used in Bangladesh

    I Wanna purchase an iPad Air to be used in bangladesh and would like to know which is the choice for a cellular+ wifi ipad?

    The 13" MBP and the low-end 15" MBP (with only one GPU) both ship with a 60 W MagSafe adapter. The higher end MBPs (dual-GPU 15" models and the 17" MBP) ship with an 85 W adapter. So, your machine should have a 60 W adapter. With the LED not coming on, it sounds like a bad adapter.
    'Not Charging' is displayed when running on AC power with a charge level of 95-96% (it's running on AC, and doesn't start charging until the battery drops below 95%, but it's not really fully 'Charged' so the OS displays 'Not Charging'). But, in that case the light on the plug should be green.
    The 85 W adapter won't harm your machine, since the MBP will only draw the power it needs. But, you are probably better off getting the adapter that Apple deems appropriate for your MBP - the 60 W version.

  • Which iPad Air allows everywhere internet

    Hi:
    I received a nice iPad Air for Christmas and my husband thought it had the internet connection type where (like a cell phone) you can connect to the 'net pretty much everywhere i.e. driving down the highway, on a mountain top, in other words without hooking into a wifi. I think this one cannot do that. It's 32 GB and says supports wifi but so did my old ipad. And with my old one you had to hook into a wifi connection. I looked on Apple.com and compared iPads and it appears I'd need to have the iPad Air model that says either 'Cell' or '3G' to be able to connect to the 'net this way? This iPad cost $599. Is this right? If so what's the difference between the 'cell' feature and '3G' feature?
    Also, if I'm right and I want to turn it in for a new one, will getting a higher model with cell or 3G feature require me to buy a monthly plan just like a cell phone or can I piggy back on my current iPhone AT&T plan or basically use that plan with iPad too? Thanks. 

    I found a summary of data plan costs.
    I am wondering what these quantities translate to? For example, does the length of time I'm on the 'net eat into the, let's say, 3 GB per month? Or is it just based on emails received or something else such as connecting to (not using) the internet? So I think I'm asking what drains down or eats up the size/space/quota.Time or activity or what? And how does the iPad (or whoever) know if I'm connected via my home wifi (most of the time) or if I'm tapping into the data plan when I'm away from wifi? Thank you!! It's a long way of saying which plan is best for me and can I get away with the cheapest?

  • My ipad air model number does not match does that mean ink and slide won't work

    i just bought iPad Air last November but the model number does not match. Does that mean ink and slide won't work?

    No, they won't exchange it for you for free.

  • Which ipad air LTE should i buy from US to be used in Singapore

    Any suggestions are welcomed.
    Thanks in advance.
    -ian-

    Check with whatever cell provider you intend to use and ask them the same question. The Verizon model would probably be a closer fit than AT&T or T-Mobile. It will work outside of North America but there is no guarantee it will work on the system you want to use.
    Speaking of guarantee, there is no may, the WiFi+Cellular iPads warranty are limited to the country you purchased it in, with EU locations counting as one country. If you need warranty service you will have to return to the US.

  • Which iPad should I purchase? Ipad air 1 or 2?

    Hey guys! I'm wanting to purchase a iPad for school next year (uni), and am debating over which iPad Air version to purchase. I'd like an iPad mainly to do my school work (type notes, look at pdfs, highlight textbook pages, etc), as well as browse the internet, use apps (like facebook, twitter, youtube, email etc) and watch movies. I originally was going to purchase the air 2, but after browsing a few forums, I noticed quite a few people complaining about it (vibration issues, screen distortion, battery, etc). Considering the price, I'm now a bit hesitant in purchasing it.
    Which I guess leads me to the iPad air 1. From what I understand, it seems to do the same job as the iPad air 2, but just without those issues (and for a cheaper price!)? I noticed that a few people were talking about safari reloading, but I don't use more than 2-3 tabs at a time generally, so I would assume that wouldn't be an issue? My only problem is that I'm worried it might be too slow compared to the iPad air 2's chip and ram, and is already too 'outdated'.
    I'm really hoping whatever iPad I purchase will last me at least a good 2-3 years (I know that might be asking too much!) and will be of good quality; I know products are always bound to have flaws, etc, but I'm hoping to pick the one of with the least amount, and something that will last me.
    I guess my question is what everyone else's experiences have been with their air 2 so far? Do you like it, prefer it over the air 1, prefer the build quality, don't like it, waste of money, etc.
    I've never owned an iPad, but currently have a nexus 7 tablet that I'm hoping to replace. I found the nexus too small when writing notes and didn't really like using keyboard folios with it; which is why I don't really want to purchase any iPad Minis.
    Any help is appreciated!
    edit- I apologise if this is in the wrong place!

    The biggest issue between the 1 and 2 is that all devices eventually age out of software updates. For example the iPad 1 maxed out at iOS 5.1.1, only the Touch 5 was eligible for iOS8 and I think only iPhones 4+ could get iOS8. So eventually, if you get a 1 you may face maxing out of the iOS updates before the two.
    That said, even if your device maxes out it'll still run just fine as it is. You may just face issues with future apps....so say my iPad maxes out in December. In February a really cool game comes out and I want it... but wait, it's for the newer iOS and won't install on mine. If you're aware of the issue and accept the issue, there's no reason you can have a fully functioning older device.
    And if the 1 is more stable than the 2, even better. I've been very lucky with my iPad 2 to have it be a very stable and dependable model while later models do seem to have had issues.

  • Which IPAD 2 AIR should I purchase for my first tablet

    Which IPAD AIR 2 should I buy for my first tablet ? 16,64, or 128? and what is the best option ?

    You're welcome. If you want to stay active the iPad is the key. I bought my first iPad last year when I was 62. A year and a half later between learning the iPad then helping out on the Forum my mind is as sharp as ever, Sure beats cross-word puzzles. When you go to buy your iPad tell the saleshelp what you plan on storing on it, 64GB might not be enough. Have them set it up for you and ask if they could show you the gestures. Remember there are plenty of helpful people here ready to help so stop back anytime with questions.

  • IPad air says 16GB but mine says 12GB capacity

    I am questioning the ipad air capacity since I ordered a 16GB but mine says I have a capacity of 12GB.  Is that correct? It may make  a difference whether we exchange it or not.  thanks

    Yes, that is correct
    No, it will not make any difference if you exchange it
    The difference is caused by two things. One we count decimal and computers count binary. The other is the operating system has to be stored some place.

  • Why is online support unavailable for the iPad Air?

    I tried to contact support today because of a probem I experienced with iTunes U after updating to IOS 7.0.4 but, on entering my serial number I get a message saying that online support is not available for this product.
    The iPad air has been out for two weeks now, is it normal for support to be unavailable this late after release?
    Surely there must be another option other than driving to an apple store to ask the question in person???

    I also have this problem.  Fortunately there was still some Apple Care available on our iPad 3, so I used that serial number to get through.  Once connected I told them what appeared when I tried to use the iPad Air serial number ( same message you got).  They checked to see if my iPad Air's serial number was registered and it was and showing that I have Apple care on it.  I really thought this would be resolved by now....it is 2 weeks.  We have paid lots of money for this service!

  • Video in Purchase History is not in Ipad Air

    I bought a new Ipad because I lost the other one. I did a restore but there is a Video I cannot see. It is in my Purchase History but I cannot get it.
    Ipad Air 2
    iOS 8.1.3
    128 Gb
    What shoud I do?
    Thank you

    Where did you do the restore from (iCloud or computer's iTunes), and was it on the iPad when you backed it up ?
    If you've moved countries since buying it or if it's no longer in your country's store then you won't be able to redownload it - if either are those apply then do you have a copy of it in your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library ?
    If it's still in the store but not showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad for redownloading then check to see if you've hidden it :iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support.

  • Can i ask for the model number of the ipad air/mini retina which is warranty in VietNam ??

    Hi
    i want to ask for some model of the ipad Air/mini retina that could be warranty in Vietnam ?
    i did call to the apple center in vn but they refused to provide the model number that will have warranty support
    thanks

    You can ask, but only Apple can decide how to address your complaint.
    If the problems are related to each other it would seem reasonable to request a complete replacement, but no one here can speak on Apple's behalf.

  • How do I add a cell number to iMessage on iPad Air 2?

    Wife bought me a iPad Air 2 with Wi-Fi + Cellular and it's own unique phone # for Christmas.
    She bought it through her Verizon account.
    It arrived today via FedEx.  Opened it up.  Turned it on.  Did the initial set-up on it.
    Problem is I accidently signed in using my Apple ID that I have for my iPhone.
    After that, whenever I would get a text message on my iPhone it shows up on my iPad also...which I don't want.
    I want to be able to use iMessage on the iPad and use it's own unique # that came with it.
    So I did some reading and from what I found it sounds like you have to sign out of iMessage on the iPad and sign in with a "new" Apple ID that's attached to that new number.
    That being said, I signed my iPhone's Apple ID out of my iPad on iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage.
    Then I created a completely new Apple ID and assigned the new cellular # to that account on www.myappleID.com and saved it.
    I then went back onto my iPad and signed into iCloud/FaceTime/iMessage with the new Apple ID that I'd created.
    Now it only shows the email address associated with that Apple ID as the only 'Send & Receive' option...no phone number.
    I then went back and confirmed that I'd saved the cell # change via myappleID.com, signed back out of Cloud/FaceTime/iMessage on the iPad and signed back in.
    Still, not showing the cell # listed under 'Send & Receive' options for iMessage...and it's not showing me an option for adding the number either...at least that I can find.
    So does anyone know how I can now add the Cellular Data Number that's already listed in General>About>Cellular Data Number to iMessage so that I can actually receive messages to that number that's assigned to the iPad?

    The only way you can use a mobile number with iMessage on an iPad if it's associated with an Apple ID that is also associated with an iPhone. YO can then use the iPhone's mobile number. The mobile number on the iPad is for carrier billing purposes only. It cannot be used for messaging.

  • How to retrive the number file in ipad air

    I cannot see my number file in my ipad air which had saved automatically. When I connected to computer and went to itune, app sharing shows 0kb. Where do you think the file has gone and How to retrieve  the file, It is very important. I went to icloud but there are only few files.

  • How do I change the mobile number re messages on iPad air

    How do I chane the mobile number re messages on my new ipad air.  It seems to be coming up with my husbands number ...

    Are you using your husband's Apple ID from his iPhone?
    Do you have an iPhone associated with your Apple ID?
    To associate Messages on an iPad with a phone number you need to have an iPhone that has the Phone number so it can be associated with the Apple ID being used on both devices (iPhone and iPad).

    I sort of was refering to both.
    If you have a plan, it's just LTE, or wireless on the go.
    Apple doesnt give you a phone number, thats the way they've been manufacturing iPads, just with Wireless plans.
    Apple doesn't give out phone numbers or wireless plans. Only the cell carriers do that.   While A Cell Plan for an iPad has a number its just for Identification purposes by the carrier, and cannot be used for Messages. 
    Also it is not necessarry to have a cellular iPad with a cellular plan to have a number for messages. As I said, you need an iPhone to do this.
