Which iPad is better, the 2nd generation or the 3rd?

I am trying to figure out which ipad is better because I know i want a white 16GB Wi-Fi only ipad.

What about the iPad 4? It's much faster than the iPad 3.

  • Why is iTunes displaying the new iPad as the 2nd Generation?

    On Tuesday I bought what I believe to be the new iPad (or what some may refer to as the 3rd Generation), but I have come across a minor problem that has set alarm bells.I viewed what devices have been recognised on my account through iTunes and it has entitled my iPad as being the 2nd Generation. I then proceeded to check my serial number on the Apple site, which told me my iPad was 3rd Generation. Because I am getting two different pieces of information, I had Apple ring me and the guy also told me it was 3rd Generation. Now, if I believe I have bought the genuine product, why is iTunes responding with different information? Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? As someone who has spent quite a bit, I am sure no one will deem these as stupid questions. I have heard reports regarding Apple's deceit when it comes to their products.

  • Can I trade in my iPad 2nd generation at the Apple Store?

    Can I trade in my iPad 2nd generation at the Apple Store?

    No.  Apple does not take direct trade-ins.  You can sell the iPad, or use one of Apple's Recycling partners to get a gift card for the value of the iPad you can then use in the store.   But you'll get more money if you sell it yourself.

  • Will I be able to extend a dual band network from a Time Capsule 2nd generation with the new Airport Express on both bands?

    My Time Capsule 2nd generation is the main accesspoint in my house. It resides on the second floor in our living room. On the first floor in our kitchen I have an fairly new Airport Express that extends my network on the 5 GHz band and allows me to stream music via Airplay. I had to choose 5 GHz since the 2,4 GHz band is interfered when using the microwave oven. However, we have a rather old house with loads of metal in the concrete walls and therefore the 2,4 GHz signal from the second floor proivded by the Time Capsule is hardly available on the first floor. Since all our iDevices (iPhones and iPods) operate at the 2,4 GHz band we sometimes don't have a proper wi-fi connection. I had tried before with another (older) Airport Express that only operated at the 2,4 Ghz band, but I could get a proper connection between the Time Capsule and the Airport Express. Therefore I think it would be the best solution if the new Airport Express would provide both bands simultaneously.
    If I replace my existing Airport Express with the new one, will I be able to extend my network on both bands?

    It sounds like you may have configured your Time Capsule to use a separate name for the 5 GHz network and then setup the Express to extend that specific band.
    In order to extend both bands, the Time Capsule setup will need to be changed so that both bands are using the same name. In other words, you would uncheck the option for the 5 Ghz name.
    Then, setup the new Express to extend the Time Capsule network.
    This is the only way that they Express can extend both bands. It cannot extend both bands if you have assigned a separate name to the 5 GHz network since you will be forced to choose either the 5 GHz band or the 2.4 GHz band for the Express to extend.
    How the microwave oven will affect this is not known. This will one of those things that you have to try in your home to know if it will work well, so it might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy before you buy....in case things do not work out as hoped.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • Do they still sell the 2nd generation ipod nanos ?

    I was just wondering whether or not they still sell the 2nd generation ipod nanos. i live in Canada and ive been wanting a red ipod nano for ages...and my silver one is now starting to skip. i might as well get a new one seeing as my silver one has been through alot of rough times...
    If they are still selling them, do they have the red ones in Canada? If so, where can i get one?

    They have refurbs on the online store, but not the red. You might try stores in your area that sell iPods, ebay, or if you are near an Apple Store check the Black Friday sale.

  • I had ATV first generation and used to use a software (VideoDrive) to make a quick movie conversion to iTune. Since I purchased the 2nd generation still I can convert the movies but streaming is disabled. Any advise ?

Please advise if there is any solution for this or a new softawre with high speed converting function.

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • HT1222 Is not possible to update my iPod touch 2nd generation  with the iOS 5??? is it only for 3rd generetion???

    Is not possible to update my iPod touch 2nd generation  with the iOS 5??? is it only for 3rd generetion???

    iPod touch 2nd gen can go up to 4.2.1.
    iPod touch 3rd or 4th gen can go up to 5.0.1 (and future updates).

  • HT4314 can the 2nd generation ipod be  updated with 4.3ios

    Can the 2nd generation ipod be updated with 4.3 ios software/updates

    No. iOS 4.2.1 is the latest for the 2nd generation iPod touch.

  • How do you update the 2nd generation ipod touch to get IOS 4.3?

    My niece sold me her second generation ipod touch so I could give it to my five-year old for christmas. I was so excited to give it to him, until I tried to start loading apps.  It kept saying that I needed IOS 4.3.  How do I get that on this ipod?  This was going to be his BIG gift because obviously I don't want to buy a five-year old a brand new ipod touch.  I will be so upset and disappointed if I can't use this...

    Sorry, the 2nd generation iPod Touch can not be upgraded beyond iOS 4.2.1.

  • Is the 2nd generation ipod touch compatible with ios5?

    Is the 2nd generation ipod touch compatible with ios5?

    No, it is not.
    EOL should end with iOS 4.2

  • So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

    So you cant update the 2nd Generation ipod touch anymore?

    I must voice my total dissatisfaction here.
    My iPod touch 2nd gen is less than 3 years old - it can't run the latest iOS, My G5 tower at home can't run the latest OS. I am a .mac user (I have been since it started) but I can't migrate to iCloud and the .mac service is being deprecated. Everything is considered too old to update.
    Well - I can update in fact - if I buy a new Mac and a new iPod. This means essentially throwing away my old Apple hardware (again - I have 8 old Macs in the basement). I'm pretty sick of finding myself in this situation. I run both Macs and PCs - one of my development PCs here is still running WIndows 98 very well!
    So what I am likely to do is cancel all my Apple services and mothball all my Apple products, as I can't really afford the luxury of upgrading all my hardware (over £2500) just so my calendars and contacts will sync across my devices. I'm likely to migrate to Windows to do this. Painful.
    Shameful behaviour from Apple in this age of concern over excess consumption and excess waste production. You've lost (another) long-term Apple devotee and evangelist.
